Alias

Make-alias

Basic constructor macro for alias structures.

Syntax

(make-alias [:name <name>] 
            [:val <val>])

This is the usual way to construct alias structures. It simply conses together a structure with the specified fields.

This macro generates a new alias structure from scratch. See also change-alias, which can "change" an existing structure, instead.

Definition

This is an ordinary make- macro introduced by fty::defprod.

Macro: make-alias

(defmacro make-alias (&rest args)
  (std::make-aggregate 'alias
                       args '((:name . "") (:val . 0))
                       'make-alias
                       nil))

Function: alias

(defun alias (name val)
  (declare (xargs :guard (and (sv::svar-p name) (svex-p val))))
  (declare (xargs :guard t))
  (let ((acl2::__function__ 'alias))
    (declare (ignorable acl2::__function__))
    (b* ((name (mbe :logic (sv::svar-fix name)
                    :exec name))
         (val (mbe :logic (svex-fix val) :exec val)))
      (list (cons 'name name)
            (cons 'val val)))))
