White collection on Common Lisp contains material relating to the development and standardization of the programming language Common Lisp and, more generally, the Lisp family of programming languages. Records date from 1963 to 2012, with the bulk of the material ranging from 1978 to 1995, when White was working at MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), Lucid, and Harlequin Group. Throughout many of these positions, White was serving on the X3J13 Committee to formalize a Common Lisp standard, which aimed to combine and standardize many previous dialects of Lisp. This collection consists of conference proceedings, manuals, X3J13 Committee correspondence and meeting minutes, notebooks, technical papers, and periodicals documenting White’s work in all of these roles. Other dialects of Lisp--especially MAClisp--are also major focuses of the collection.

  • A Monotonic Superclass Linearization for Dylan
    A Monotonic Superclass Linearization for Dylan Kim Barrett <[email protected]> Bob Cassels <[email protected]> Paul Haahr <[email protected]> David A. Moon <[email protected]> Keith Playford <[email protected]> P. Tucker Withington <[email protected]>† 28 June 1996 Abstract Object-oriented languages with multiple inheritance and automatic conflict resolution typically use a linearization of superclasses to determine which version of a property to inherit when several superclasses provide definitions. Recent work has defined several desirable characteristics for linearizations, the most important being monotonicity, which prohibits inherited properties from skipping over direct superclasses. Combined with Dylan’s sealing mechanism, a monotonic linearization enables some compile-time method selection that would otherwise be impossible in the absence of a closed-world assumption. The Dylan linearization is monotonic, easily described, strictly observes local precedence order, and produces the same ordering as CLOS when that is monotonic. We present an implementation based on merging and a survey of class heterarchies from several large programs, analyzing where commonly used linearizations differ. use this model include Ada 95, C++, CLOS, Dylan, Introduction Eiffel, Java, Oberon-2, Sather, and Smalltalk. Why linearizations? In object-oriented systems with multiple inheritance, some mechanism must be used for resolving conflicts In a class-based object-oriented language, objects are when inheriting different definitions of the same property instances of classes. The properties of an object – what from multiple superclasses. Some languages require slots or instance variables it has, which methods are manual resolution by the programmer, with mechanisms applicable to it – are determined by its class.
