The function
decode-lisp-string
decodes the integers in the part of the vector
vector
bounded by
start
and
end
using encoding
external-format
to make a string
string
.
The element type of vector does not need to match the external-format-foreign-type of external-format .
This function exists in LispWorks 5.0 but is not documented and does not take the
:start
and
:end
arguments. Also, it was inefficient prior to LispWorks 5.0.1.
