Examples: (set-body foo (:definition foo)) ; restore original definition of foo (set-body foo foo) ; same as just above (set-body foo my-foo-def) ; use my-foo-def for the body of foo (set-body foo (:definition my-foo-def)) ; same as just aboveRules of class
:
definition
can install a new definition body, used
for example by :expand
hints. See definition and also see hints
for a detailed discussion of the :install-body
fields of
:
definition
rules and their role in :expand
hints.There may be several such definitions, but by default, the latest one is used
by :expand
hints. Although the :with
keyword may be used in
:expand
hints to override this behavior locally (see hints), it may be
convenient to install a definition for expansion other than the latest one
-- for example, the original definition. Set-body
may be used for this
purpose.
General Form: (set-body function-symbol rule-name)where
rule-name
is either a :definition
rune or is a function
symbol, sym
, which represents the rune (:definition sym)
.You can view all definitions available for expansion; see show-bodies.
