language-prefixes

$Revision: 5.0.2.3 $

Variable

Package: SYSTEM

This variable and sys:*language-suffixes* are used in foreign-function name conversion. The value of each is a (possibly empty) alist of a language and a string to prepend (*language-prefixes*) or postpend (sys:*language-suffixes*) to the basic name in order to produce the equivalent name in the language. Some earlier operating systems had linkers which prepended an underscore ("_") to C names (language :c) and some linkers still postpend an underscore toFortran (language :fortran) names.

See foreign_functions.htm for more information on the foreign functions facility.
