Advice on symbol -> int mapping in C.

Jeff Sparkes writes: No. Lisp is not Python. :-) You should think about optimizing so that commonly used values are at the front, but other than that, as you noticed 77 cells is not a large alist. The other possibility would be to use a plist, which I think is actually preferred to alists in modern Lisp idiom (slightly more efficient). However, alists print somewhat more nicely for debugging. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
