A portable toolkit for building inspectors
trivial-inspect exposes a set of utils useful in building inspectors akin to standard inspect and describe . The goal is to provide as much information as possible. Including the implementation-specific info.
Getting Started
Clone the Git repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aartaka/trivial-inspect ~ /common-lisp/
And then load :trivial-inspect in the REPL:
( asdf :load-system :trivial-inspect ) ; ; or, if you use Quicklisp ( ql :quickload :trivial-inspect )
You can also use the bundled guix.scm to install it on Guix.
APIs
Two main entry points of this library are fields :
( trivial-inspect :fields #' identity ) ; ; ((0 :self #<function identity>) (1 :id 1407351035) ; ; (2 class-of #<sb-pcl:system-class common-lisp:function> #<function # {100A28547B}>) ; ; (3 type-of compiled-function) (4 :name identity) (5 :arguments (sb-impl::thing)) ; ; (6 compiled-function-p t) (7 :ftype (function # #)) ; ; (8 :expression nil) ; ; (9 lambda-list-keywords (&allow-other-keys &aux &body &environment &key sb-int:&more &optional &rest &whole)) ; ; (10 call-arguments-limit 1073741824) (11 lambda-parameters-limit 1073741824)) ( trivial-inspect :fields nil ) ; ; ((0 :self nil) (1 :id 1342177559) ; ; (2 class-of #<built-in-class common-lisp:null> nil) ; ; (3 type-of null) (4 length 0) ; ; (5 symbol-name "NIL") (6 symbol-package #<package "COMMON-LISP">) ; ; (7 :visibility :external #<function # {100CFF5F0B}>) ; ; (8 symbol-value nil #<function # {100CFF5F2B}>) (9 symbol-plist nil)) ( trivial-inspect :fields ( find-class ' standard-object)) ; ; ((0 :self #<standard-class common-lisp:standard-object>) (1 :id 68721940739) ; ; (2 class-of #<standard-class common-lisp:standard-class> ; ; #<function (lambda (trivial-inspect::new-value trivial-inspect::_) :in trivial-inspect:fields) {1003A7BAEB}>) ; ; (3 :slot-definitions ; ; (#<sb-mop:standard-effective-slot-definition sb-pcl::%type> #<sb-mop:standard-effective-slot-definition sb-pcl::source> ..)))
