Hex-digit-char-p

Recognizer for hexadecimal digit characters: 0-9, A-F, a-f.

Signature

(hex-digit-char-p x) → bool

ACL2 provides digit-char-p which is more flexible and can recognize numeric characters in other bases. (hex-digit-char-p x) only recognizes base-16 digits, but is much faster, at least on CCL. Here is an experiment you can run in raw lisp, with times reported in CCL on an AMD FX-8350.

(defconstant *chars*
  (loop for i from 0 to 255 collect (code-char i)))

;; 19.216 seconds
(time (loop for i fixnum from 1 to 10000000 do
            (loop for c in *chars* do (digit-char-p c 16))))

;; 4.711 seconds
(time (loop for i fixnum from 1 to 10000000 do
            (loop for c in *chars* do (str::hex-digit-char-p c))))
