Also, ;; to print custom types constructed from lists and vectors, use ;; custom-print-list and custom-print-vector. See the documentation ;; strings of these variables for more details. ;; If the results of your expressions contain circular references to ;; other parts of the same structure, the standard Emacs print ;; subroutines may fail to print with an untrappable error, ;; "Apparently circular structure being printed". If you only use cdr ;; circular lists (where cdrs of lists point back; what is the right ;; term here?), you can limit the length of printing with ;; print-length. But car circular lists and circular vectors generate ;; the above mentioned error in Emacs version 18. Version ;; 19 supports print-level, but it is often useful to get a better ;; print representation of circular and shared structures; the print-circle ;; option may be used to print more concise representations. ;; There are three main ways to use this package. First, you may ;; replace prin1, princ, and some subroutines that use them by calling ;; install-custom-print so that any use of these functions in ;; Lisp code will be affected; you can later reset with ;; uninstall-custom-print. Second, you may temporarily install ;; these functions with the macro with-custom-print. Third, you ;; could call the custom routines directly, thus only affecting the ;; printing that requires them. ;; Note that subroutines which call print subroutines directly will ;; not use the custom print functions. In particular, the evaluation ;; functions like eval-region call the print subroutines directly. ;; Therefore, if you evaluate (aref circ-list 0), where circ-list is a ;; circular list rather than an array, aref calls error directly which ;; will jump to the top level instead of printing the circular list. ;; Uninterned symbols are recognized when print-circle is non-nil, ;; but they are not printed specially here. Use the cl-packages package ;; to print according to print-gensym. ;; Obviously the right way to implement this custom-print facility is ;; in C or with hooks into the standard printer. Please volunteer ;; since I don't have the time or need. More CL-like printing ;; capabilities could be added in the future. ;; Implementation design: we want to use the same list and vector ;; processing algorithm for all versions of prin1 and princ, since how ;; the processing is done depends on print-length, print-level, and ;; print-circle. For circle printing, a preprocessing step is ;; required before the final printing. Thanks to Jamie Zawinski ;; for motivation and algorithms. ;;; Code: (defgroup cust-print nil "Handles print-level and print-circle." :prefix "print-" :group 'lisp :group 'extensions) ;; If using cl-packages: '(defpackage "cust-print" (:nicknames "CP" "custom-print") (:use "el") (:export print-level print-circle custom-print-install custom-print-uninstall custom-print-installed-p with-custom-print custom-prin1 custom-princ custom-prin1-to-string custom-print custom-format custom-message custom-error custom-printers add-custom-printer )) '(in-package cust-print) ;; Emacs 18 doesn't have defalias. ;; Provide def for byte compiler.
