Subject: Re: Can LET* reuse variables? From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1995/10/07 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <19951007T043328Z@naggum.no> [Andrew Philpot] | Is code like (LET* ((A 1) | (A (+ A 2))) | ...) | legal CL? [Pierpaolo Bernardi] | Yes. It is definitely legal. hmmm. what is the precise semantics of this construct in the presence of declarations of A? e.g. will a (declare (special a)) cause one of A's to be special and one to have lexical scope, or will both be special? I can't find anything in ANSI CL which would support the "definitely", but it appears to be legal, while it appears not to be legal in `let'. I don't see why there should be a difference between the two, or where it is specified that there is such a difference. #<Erik 3022029208> -- "He [O. J.
