[comp.lang.lisp.x] implementing GETHASH and MAKE-HASH-TABLE

kcw@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Ken Whedbee) (08/21/90)

Hi,

I've gotten to the point where it would be nice if I had
the Common Lisp functions (MAKE-HASH-TABLE) and (GETHASH)
implemented in xlisp.  I don't need the "full" implementation
of these functions as described in CLtL, but (GETHASH) 
should work with the (SETF) place form.

Has anybody implemented these functions and hacked the
C source code to (SETF) so that (GETHASH) can be a place form ?
If not, does anyone who has monkeyed around with the (SETF)
source code care to point out any traps or pitfalls that
might lie there in creating a new place form ?

thanx !
