CLISP prompt consists of 3 mandatory parts: “start”,
“body”, and “finish”; and 2 optional parts:
“break”, which appears only in the debugger (after BREAK
or ERROR
), and “step”, which appears only in the STEP
er.
Each part is controlled by a custom variable, which can be either a
STRING
or a FUNCTION
of no arguments returning a STRING
(if it is something else - or if the return value was not a STRING
- it is printed with PRINC
). In the order of invocation:
CUSTOM:*PROMPT-START*
CUSTOM:*PROMPT-STEP*
STEP
ping.
Defaults to “Step n
”,
where n
is the stepping level as returned by EXT:STEP-LEVEL
.
CUSTOM:*PROMPT-BREAK*
Break n
”,
where n
is the break level as returned by EXT:BREAK-LEVEL
.
CUSTOM:*PROMPT-BODY*
package[n]
”
where package
is the shortest (nick)name (as returned by
EXT:PACKAGE-SHORTEST-NAME
) of the current package *PACKAGE*
if it is not the same as it was in the beginning
(determined by EXT:PROMPT-NEW-PACKAGE
)
or if it does not contain symbol T
,
(it is assumed that in the latter case you would want to keep in
mind that your current package is something weird);
and n
is the index of the current prompt, kept in EXT:*COMMAND-INDEX*
.
CUSTOM:*PROMPT-FINISH*
>
”.
To facilitate your own custom prompt creation, the following functions and variables are available:
EXT:BREAK-LEVEL
FUNCTION
returns current BREAK
/ERROR
level.
EXT:STEP-LEVEL
FUNCTION
returns current STEP
level.
EXT:PROMPT-NEW-PACKAGE
FUNCTION
returns *PACKAGE*
or NIL
if the current package is the same as it was initially.
EXT:PACKAGE-SHORTEST-NAME
FUNCTION
takes one argument, a
PACKAGE
, and returns its shortest name or nickname.
EXT:*COMMAND-INDEX*
