The common-dylan Library

The common-dylan library contains 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 byte-vector Module
• The common-extensions Module
• The machine-words Module
• The simple-format Module
• The simple-profiling Module
• The simple-random Module
• The simple-timers Module
• The transcendentals Module

The common-dylan module re-exports everything in the common-extensions and dylan modules. This is a convenience module that is very widely used.

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

• The dylan Module

• The threads Module

• The finalization Module
