GBBopen 1.5 Reference -- patch

patch

patch (id date &key author description) form* [Macro]

Purpose
Define a patch to a module.

Package :module-manager

Module :module-manager

Arguments and values

id		An object
date		A simple string representing a date (parsed by parse-date)
author		A string (default is `"Anonymous"`)
description		A string or a proper list of strings (default is `nil`)
form		A form

Description
The source file for a patch should be placed in a subdirectory named patches in the module's source-files directory.

If a patch cannot be defined as a single patch form, the more primitive start-patch, continue-patch, and finish-patch macros can be used to separate the patch into multiple top-level forms in the same patch file.

Example
Define a simple patch (in a file named my-app-p001.lisp in the patches subdirectory of the module):

  (patch (1 "06-22-08" 
            :author "Corkill"
            :description "A simple example patch")
      (printv "Simple example patch loaded!"))

and add the patch file to the :my-app module:

  (define-module :my-app
    (:requires :gbbopen-user)
    (:files "preamble"
            ("macros" :forces-recompile)
            "classes"
            "my-app"
            "epilogue")
    (:patches "my-app-p001"))
