Subject: assq-delete-all patch
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2003 10:29:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EA64ECD.1060109@math.ku.dk> (raw)
The built-in function assq ignores elements of the list that are not conses.
But the function assq-delete-all in subr.el fails. IMHO that is
inconsequent.
Therefore I suggest this patch:
(defun assq-delete-all (key alist)
"Delete from ALIST all elements whose car is KEY.
! Return the modified alist."
(let ((tail alist))
(while tail
! (if (eq (car (car tail)) key)
(setq alist (delq (car tail) alist)))
(setq tail (cdr tail)))
alist))

(defun assq-delete-all (key alist)
"Delete from ALIST all elements whose car is KEY.
! Return the modified alist.
! Elements of ALIST that are not conses are ignored."
(let ((tail alist))
(while tail
! (if (and (consp (car tail)) (eq (car (car tail)) key))
(setq alist (delq (car tail) alist)))
(setq tail (cdr tail)))
alist))
