Subject: Moving a symbol from one obarray to another
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 19:22:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <p04310102ba2d82209f6f@[198.17.100.22]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0212101959450.9731-100000@mug.sys.virginia.edu>
My objective is to move a symbol from one obarray to another. The
following routine seems to do that ok.
(defun move-symbol (sym-name from-obarray to-obarray)
"Move symbol named SYM-NAME from FROM-OBARRAY to TO-OBARRAY"
(let ((old-sym (intern-soft sym-name from-obarray))
(new-sym (intern sym-name to-obarray)) )
(set new-sym (symbol-value old-sym))
(fset new-sym (symbol-function old-sym))
(setplist new-sym (symbol-plist old-sym))
(unintern sym-name from-obarray) ))
My question is, is there a more efficient way to do that, e.g.
without creating a whole new symbol and destroying the old one?
