C Reference Number C types Numeric C types understood by ECL Type names cl_fixnum fixnum cl_index (integer 0 most-positive-fixnum) float short-float, single-float double double-float long double (*) long-float ECL_LONG_FLOAT :long-float uint8_t (unsigned-byte 8) int8_t (signed-byte 8) uint16_t (unsigned-byte 16) ecl_uint16_t :uint16-t int16_t (signed-byte 16) ecl_int16_t :uint16-t uint32_t (unsigned-byte 32) ecl_uint32_t :uint32-t int32_t (signed-byte 32) ecl_int32_t :uint32-t uint64_t (unsigned-byte 64) ecl_uint32_t :uint32-t int64_t (signed-byte 64) ecl_int64_t :uint32-t short (integer ffi:c-short-min ffi:c-short-max) ecl_uint64_t :uint32-t unsigned short (integer 0 ffi:c-ushort-max) int (integer ffi:c-int-min ffi:c-int-max) unsigned int (integer 0 ffi:c-uint-max) long (integer ffi:c-long-min ffi:c-long-max) unsigned long (integer 0 ffi:c-long-max) long long (integer ffi:c-long-long-min ffi:c-long-long-max) ecl_long_long_t :long-long unsigned long long (integer 0 ffi:c-ulong-long-max) ecl_ulong_long_t :long-long Description The table above shows the relation between C types and the equivalent Common Lisp types. All types are standard C99 types, except for two. First, cl_fixnum is the smallest signed integer that can fit a fixnum. Second, cl_index is the smallest unsigned integer that fits a fixnum and is typically the unsigned counterpart of cl_fixnum. (*) The long double does not exist on all platforms. When it exists, the macro ECL_LONG_DOUBLE will be defined, and long-double will be equivalent to it. Many other types might also not exist on all platforms. This includes not only long long and unsigned long long, but also some of the C99 integer types. There are two ways to detect which integer types are available in your system Check for the definition of C macros with a similar name, shown in the fourth column above. In Lisp code, check for the presence of the associated features, shown in the fifth column above. Number constructors Creating Lisp types from C numbers Functions and macros cl_object ecl_make_fixnum cl_fixnum n cl_object ecl_make_integer cl_fixnum n cl_object ecl_make_unsigned_integer cl_index n cl_object ecl_make_single_float float n cl_object ecl_make_double_float double n cl_object ecl_make_long_float long double n cl_object ecl_make_uint8_t uint8_t n cl_object ecl_make_int8_t int8_t n cl_object ecl_make_uint16_t uint16_t n cl_object ecl_make_int16_t int16_t n cl_object ecl_make_uint32_t uint32_t n cl_object ecl_make_int32_t int32_t n cl_object ecl_make_uint64_t uint64_t n cl_object ecl_make_int64_t int64_t n cl_object ecl_make_short short n cl_object ecl_make_ushort unsigned short n cl_object ecl_make_int int n cl_object ecl_make_uint unsigned int n cl_object ecl_make_long long n cl_object ecl_make_ulong unsigned long n cl_object ecl_make_long_long long long n cl_object ecl_make_ulong_long unsigned long long n cl_object ecl_make_ratio cl_object numerator cl_object denominator cl_object ecl_make_complex cl_object real cl_object imag Description These functions create a Lisp object from the corresponding C number. If the number is an integer type, the result will always be an integer, which may be a bignum. If on the other hand the C number is a float, double or long double, the result will be a float. There is some redundancy in the list of functions that convert from cl_fixnum and cl_index to lisp. On the one hand, ecl_make_fixnum() always creates a fixnum, dropping bits if necessary. On the other hand, ecl_make_integer and ecl_make_unsigned_integer faithfully converts to a Lisp integer, which may a bignum. Note also that some of the constructors do not use C numbers. This is the case of ecl_make_ratio and ecl_make_complex, because they are composite Lisp types. These functions or macros signal no errors. Number accessors Unchecked conversion from Lisp types to C numbers Functions and macros cl_fixnum ecl_fixnum cl_object n float ecl_single_float cl_object n double ecl_double_float cl_object n long double ecl_long_float cl_object n Description These functions and macros extract a C number from a Lisp object. They do not check the type of the Lisp object as they typically just access directly the value from a C structure. Number coercion Checked conversion from Lisp types to C numbers Functions and macros cl_fixnum ecl_to_fixnum cl_object n cl_index ecl_to_unsigned_integer cl_object n flaot ecl_to_float cl_object n double ecl_to_double cl_object n long double ecl_to_long_double cl_object n float ecl_to_float cl_object n int8_t ecl_to_uint8_t cl_object n int8_t ecl_to_int8_t cl_object n uint16_t ecl_to_uint16_t cl_object n int16_t ecl_to_int16_t cl_object n uint32_t ecl_to_uint32_t cl_object n int32_t ecl_to_int32_t cl_object n uint64_t ecl_to_uint64_t cl_object n int64_t ecl_to_int64_t cl_object n short ecl_to_short cl_object n unsigned short ecl_to_ushort cl_object n int ecl_to_int cl_object n unsigned int ecl_to_uint cl_object n long ecl_to_long cl_object n unsigned long ecl_to_ulong cl_object n long long ecl_to_long_long cl_object n unsigned long long ecl_to_ulong_long cl_object n Description These functions and macros convert a Lisp object to the corresponding C number type. The conversion is done through a coercion process which may signal an error if the argument does not fit the expected type.
