_death: you can still run lisp 1.5 code in CL. http://informatimago.free.fr./i/develop/lisp/com/informatimago/small-cl-pgms/wang.html

is there some open source parser that can translate C++ code to lisp s-expressions e.g. (int main () (printf "Hello World") (return 0)) ?

common lisp has powerful pattern matching libs that could be useful for linting

I doubt that a CL based linter will be able to determine more info about C++ code than clang ASTs.

I'm assuming it would be easier to work with sexpressions in lisp than with some AST structs in C++

Clang is one of the few libraries that can properly parse C++ though. From what I've heard, it's really hard to parse yourself.

And theoretically, you can call Clang from Lisp. Yitzi would know more about that though.

yeah, it would be unrealistic and impractical to even try to write a c++ parser from scratch, the standard is thicker than the bible lol

random-jellyfish: I started a C11 implementation in CL, but I only have cpp, the parser is not done yet. On the other hand, it seems that gilberth in #lispcafe is also working on a C or C++ parser, and he's more advanced.

I'm guessing that's because it says it's probably not for practical coding.

I don't understand this part of clhs 7.6.4: "The checking of the validity of keyword names is done in the generic function, not in each method. A method is invoked as if the keyword argument pair whose name is :allow-other-keys and whose value is true were supplied, though no such argument pair will be passed."

It means that the method does not have to explicitly accept the keyword arguments that the generic function accepts because the verification is disabled.

Oh, I see; I was unaware that :allow-other-keys had a special meaning for keyword functions.
