Vl-ps->chars

(vl-ps->chars) returns what was printed as a character list in the proper, non-reversed, printed order.

Signature

(vl-ps->chars &key (ps 'ps)) → chars

Returns

chars — Type (character-listp chars).

This is expensive. It necessarily involves creating n conses, where n is the number of characters printed. If you really want a string, vl-ps->string will be faster.

Definitions and Theorems

Function: vl-ps->chars-fn

(defun vl-ps->chars-fn (ps)
       (declare (xargs :stobjs (ps)))
       (declare (xargs :guard t))
       (let ((__function__ 'vl-ps->chars))
            (declare (ignorable __function__))
            (vl-printedlist->chars (vl-ps->rchars)
                                   nil)))

Theorem: character-listp-of-vl-ps->chars

(defthm character-listp-of-vl-ps->chars
        (b* ((chars (vl-ps->chars-fn ps)))
            (character-listp chars))
