Topic: List of lisp functions which are defined as external subroutine & Lisp exception

[ProfWolfMan]

Hi all,

In one of my project, i am using gile's 'LispExtensions' class found in below thread.

http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=35714

It is working very fine for my needs.

Now, i am working around below tasks.

1) /***The LISP function must be defined as an external subroutine using the c: prefix or invoking vl-acad-defun.***/

I want to get list of  'lisp functions which are defined as external subroutine'?
Is there is any functions to do that?

2) Is there is anyway to throw a exception from Lisp functions to dotnet when i invoking that lisp function from dotnet.

Kindly share your thoughts.

Thanks & Regards,

You can't throw exceptions from LISP that can be caught by calling
.NET code.

If you use acedInvoke(), you will get an error result code if a call
to a LISP function resulted in an error, and that doesn't tell you
much about what exactly happened.

You could try calling vl-exit-with-error to raise an error from a
called LISP function (never tried that), and see what acedInvoke()
returns.

You could also define a LISP wrapper function that your .NET code
calls via acedInvoke(), which passes the actual LISP function that
you want to call as a string, and then have it catch any error that
gets thrown and conveys it back to the calling .NET code.

Code: [Select]


   ;; (untested)

   (defun invoke-wrapper( func arglist / result )
        (setq *invoke-error* nil)
        (setq result (vl-catch-all-apply (read func) arglist))
        (if (vl-catch-all-error-p result)
            (progn
                (setq *invoke-error* (vl-catch-all-error-message result))
                (vl-exit-with-error *invoke-error*)
            )
            result
        )
    )
