<h2>Description:</h2>
'
62
'
63
<p>The ARRAY-TEMPLATE class denotes those object that are used
'
64
to unify against an ARRAY.</p>
'
65
'
66
<h3>Template Syntax:</h3>
'
67
'
68
<p>
'
69
<pre>
'
70
#T(<b>array</b> <i><shape-template></i>)
'
71
</pre>
'
72
</p>
'
73
'
74
<p>
'
75
<pre>
'
76
#T(<i><<strong>CL</strong> array type specifier></i> <i><shape-template></i>)
'
77
</pre>
'
78
</p>
'
79
'
80
<p>
'
81
<pre>
'
82
#T(<b>array</b> ([* | <i><<strong>CL</strong> type specifier></i>] [<i><dimension sped></i>]) <i><shape-template></i>)
'
83
</pre>
'
84
</p>
'
85
'
86
<p>Where <i><shape-template></i> can be:</p>
'
87
'
88
<p>
'
89
<pre>
'
90
<i><shape-template></i> ::= <i><sequence-template></i>
'
91
| <i><destructuring template lambda list></i>
'
92
| (<i><shape-template></i>)
'
93
</pre>
'
94
</p>
'
95
'
96
'
97
<p>The ARRAY-TEMPLATE syntax denotes an ARRAY object. An
'
98
ARRAY-TEMPLATE must be unified against an ARRAY object. The elements
'
99
of the array must be unified against the
'
100
<i><shape-template></i>. Each row of the array is unified
'
101
recursively against each element of the <i><shape-template></i>.

<h2>Affected By:</h2>

'

<p>None.</p>
'
142
'
143
'
144
<h2>Exceptional Situations:</h2>
'
145
'
146
<p>Unifying an ARRAY-TEMPLATE against a non-ARRAY object results in
'
147
an UNIFICATION-FAILURE error being signaled.</p>

<h2>Notes:</h2>
'
155
'
156
<h3>Syntax Note</h3>
'
157
'
158
<p>The ARRAY-TEMPLATE syntax tries to be easy to use, at the cost of
'
159
being overloaded. There is no actual need to have the separate
'
160
forms <code>(<b>array</b> (fixnum) ...)</code> and
'
161
<code>((<b>array</b> fixnum) ...)</code>.</p>
'
162
'
163
<p>In a future release they may be conflated. For the time being
'
164
they are kept separate as it is unclear which would be better to
'
165
provide.</p>
'
166
'
167
<h3>Elements Unification</h3>
'
168
'
169
<p>It would be nice to have the possibility to unify against
'
170
<em>slices</em> of the array. Alas, this seems non trivial to get
'
171
right, and it is left as a future extension of the semantics of
'
172
<i><shape-template></i>.</p>
'
173
'
174
<h3>ARRAY Structural Properties</h3>
'
175
'
176
<p>There is no way to "unify" against structural properties of
'
177
vectors like fill pointers and displacements.</p>
