unsafe redefinition of LIST symbol ???

[sharpooth]

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

[Lee Mac]

You haven't got

 

(defun list ...

 

Anywhere have you?

[sharpooth]

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

[Kerry Brown]

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 ??

[sharpooth]

(length SHS-CF-EN)
474

 

 

there are - 474 elements

[Lee Mac]

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

[sharpooth]

What is the problem?

[Kerry Brown]

(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 ?

[Kerry Brown]

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.

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.

[Kerry Brown]

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)

          '("25x2x4" 25.00 2.00 4.00 2.00 1.36 1.74 1.48 0.92 1.19 1.47 2.53 1.80 0.093)
          '("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

[sharpooth]

Thank you Kerry!

:wink:

[devitg]

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.

[sharpooth]

Is the routine working well?

[devitg]

Is the routine working well?

 

Yes, it do .

 

Thanks
