The common-dylan LibraryΒΆ

The common-dylan library contains the common-extensions module and the Dylan library. It provides a number of features that were either omitted from the Dylan language described in the DRM, or that Open Dylan’s developers have found useful in a broad range of situations.

The Common Dylan library exports the following modules:

  • The common-extensions Module Miscellaneous extensions to the Dylan language that have been found to be broadly useful.
  • The common-dylan module re-exports everything in the common-extensions and dylan modules. This is a convenience module that is very widely used.
  • The simple-io Module Simple formatting facilities. For more flexible formatting and printing, see the io library.
  • The simple-random Module A facility for generating pseudo-random integers.
  • The transcendentals Module A set of open generic functions for ANSI C-like behavior over real numbers.
  • The machine-words Module A set of functions for representing a limited range of integral values.

It also re-exports these modules which are defined in the dylan library:
