unsafe redefinition of LIST symbol ???

Hi Guys,

I want to set a long list of elements in one variable

(setq X

(list

..........

.........

))

and after compiling I am receiving the following message:

; warning: unsafe redefinition of LIST symbol, conflicts with long LIST translation: LIST

Is there any restrictions about length of list?

Thanks

You haven't got

(defun list ...

Anywhere have you?

My code is:

(defun SHS-CF-EN-list ()

(setq SHS-CF-EN ; 
(list
"20x2x4" 20.00 2.00 4.00 2.00 1.05 1.34 0.69 0.72 0.69 0.88 1.21 1.06 0.073

this list is very long.

In process of compiling from Vlide I am receiving

; warning: unsafe redefinition of LIST symbol, conflicts with long LIST translation: LIST

You may be better making each member-section definition a list in the SHS-CF-EN list.

.. 2 reasons

reduce the elements in the SHS-CF-EN list

allow an (assoc SHS-CF-EN ) to return the member data.

What does (length SHS-CF-EN) return ??

(length SHS-CF-EN)
474

there are - 474 elements

474 isn't too many - I thought we were talking thousands... I'm not sure that the length would cause the problem...

What is the problem?

(length SHS-CF-EN)
474

 

 

there are - 474 elements

seems you have a few sizes that don't have 14 elements per item ... just an observation.

I'd need to see the code, but I see no issue with the list length.

Does it load and run correctly from the editor ?

What compile mode are you using ?

I've just run a test.

255 element list compiles without warning

a 256 element list generates a warning.

Both loaded and ran as .LSP files from the IDE.

The file compiled, loaded and ran correctly without error.

[COMPILING K:/KDUBPro2010/xxxxx.lsp]

The program works correct.

The compile mode is simple

May be for correct compilation the max length of list is 256 elements?!

LESS than 256 .... 'cause 256 generates a warning.

As I mentioned earlier, you may be best making a list of lists

similar to ;

(defun SHS-CF-EN-list ()
 (setq SHS-CF-EN
        (list
          '("20x2x4" 20.00 2.00 4.00 2.00 1.05 1.34 0.69 0.72 0.69 0.88 1.21 1.06 0.073)

          '("25x2.5x5" 25.00 2.50 5.00 2.50 1.64 2.09 1.69 0.90 1.35 1.71 2.97 2.07 0.091)

          ;;......................
          ;;and may more rows
         )
  )
  ;; < ... >
)

Then extract the item you want ...

(setq ItemList (assoc "30x2.5x5" SHS-CF-EN))

;;-> ("30x2.5x5" 30.0 2.5 5.0 2.5 2.03 2.59 3.16 1.1 2.1 2.61 5.4 3.2 0.111)

Didn't know about that limit - thanks guys

Thank you Kerry!

:wink:

Hi, I had the same warning error , with a 10000 + sublist in a list .

Seem to be it is a limit from ACAD , like you can not have more than 256 selections sets.

Is the routine working well?

Is the routine working well?

Yes, it do .

Thanks
