Declaration DECLARATION

Syntax:

`(declaration` name``*`)`

Arguments:

name---a symbol.

Binding Types Affected: None.

Description:

Advises the compiler that each name is a valid but potentially non-standard declaration name. The purpose of this is to tell one compiler not to issue warnings for declarations meant for another compiler or other program processor.

Examples:

     (declaim (declaration author target-language target-machine))
     (declaim (target-language ada))
     (declaim (target-machine IBM-650))
     (defun strangep (x)
       (declare (author "Harry Tweeker"))
       (member x '(strange weird odd peculiar)))
