| Allegro CL version 6.2 Unrevised from 6.1 |
This variable was added in release 6.0. Performance testing has
indicated that the overhead associated with pretty printing can be
high. In order to better control this cost, no Allegro CL code sets
the value of *print-pretty*
. Instead, Allegro CL code binds
it where necessary to the value of this variable, and this variable is
only set in two places: initially to nil
and
in the :pprint
module to t
.
See Speed and pretty printing in implementation.htm for more information on the pretty-printing issue.
