Prev | Chapter 2. The Dylan Library and Gwydion Dylan Extensions | Next |
In the process of working with Dylan, the Gwydion Project
has come up with numerous extensions to the Dylan language. Some
of them form entire libraries, like the
Collection-Extensions
and
String-Extensions
libraries. Others have
been added to the Dylan
library, in such
modules as Extensions
and
System
.
We continue to make no claims about future support for our
extensions. However, some extensions are more likely than others
to make it into our future compilers. This file documents those
extensions which we think will be included in our compiler's
Dylan
library.
Extensions which go in separate libraries are documented
in their own files; extensions which are part of the Mindy
Dylan
library but which have a less certain
future are documented in the Mindy documentation.
For the remainder of this chapter, we shall refer to "Gwydion compilers" as a shorthand for "Mindy and other Dylan compilers that the Gwydion Project may write." It is not meant as a guarentee that all future Gwydion releases will support these extensions.
Specific Gwydion compilers may support extensions not listed here; see their documentation for details.
