' 37
' 38 <h2>Package:</h2>
' 39
' 40 <p><code>COMMON-LISP.EXTENSIONS.DATA-AND-CONTROL-FLOW.UNIFICATION</code></p>
' 41
' 42
' 43 <h2>Syntax:</h2>
' 44
' 45 <p>
' 46 <pre>
' 47 <b>make-shared-environment</b> <i>env</i>
' 48 => <i>unification-environment</i>
' 49 </pre>
' 50 </p>
' 51
' 52 <h3>Arguments and Values:</h3>
' 53
' 54 <p><i><code>env</code></i>---an <i>unification-environment</i>.
' 55 <p><i><code>unification-environment</code></i>---a new <i>unification-environment</i>.

' 59 <h2>Description:</h2>
' 60
' 61 <p>The function MAKE-SHARED-ENVIRONMENT constructs a new
' 62 object of type UNIFY:ENVIRONMENT. The new
' 63 <i>unification-environment</i> shares the frames already present in <i>env</i>.</p>
' 64
' 65 <p>It is guaranteed that extending <i>unification-environment</i>
' 66 will not change <i>env</i>.</p>
' 67
' 68
' 69 <h2>Affected By:</h2>
' 70
' 71 <p>None.</p>
' 72
' 73
' 74 <h2>Exceptional Situations:</h2>
' 75
' 76 <p>None.</p>
' 77
' 78
' 79 <h2>See Also:</h2>
' 80
' 81 <p>UNIFY:ENVIRONMENT, BINDING, FIND-VARIABLE-VALUE</p>
' 82
' 83
' 84 <h2>Notes:</h2>
' 85
' 86 <p>This function is provided to allow for the construction of
' 87 "trees" of frames for interpreter-like environments. The macros
' 88 MATCH, MATCHING, and MATCH-CASE rely on this function, as they
' 89 immediately construct a "shared" environment.</p>
' 90
' 91 <h3>Current Implementation Note</h3>
' 92
' 93 <p>MAKE-SHARED-ENVIRONMENT relies on the LIST implementation of
' 94 environments.</p>
' 95
' 96 <p>The use of MAKE-SHARED-ENVIRONMENT in MATCHING and MATDCH-CASE is
' 97 still incomplete.</p>
