Abstract
The internal architecture of Declt, our reference manual generator for
Common Lisp libraries, is currently evolving towards a three-stage
pipeline in which the information gathered for documentation purposes is
first reified into a formalized set of object-oriented data structures. A
side-effect of this evolution is the ability to dump that information for
other purposes than documentation. We demonstrate this ability applied to
the complete Quicklisp ecosystem. The resulting “cohort” includes more than
half a million programmatic definitions, and can be used to gain insight
into the morphology of Common Lisp software.
