Does anyone have an example of using the Lisp pretty printer to output C, C# or C++ code? In fact, an example for any language other than Lisp would do so long as the pretty printer indents braces, etc. properly. Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/

A search on the Common Lisp Directory gives: http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/tr1993-017 BTW The Common Lisp Directory Lispworks process uptime reached 500 days yesterday. In those 500 days it has served more than 142M HTTP requests. :) Marc
It shouldn't be that difficult... One of the original docs about the pretty printer showed how to use the PP to print Pascal-like stuff (see links below) http://www.merl.com/reports/docs/TR93-17.pdf http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6503 One thing I did once was to rewrite the CMUCL XP based pretty printer in Java and use it to output neatly indented code (in Esterel, but the concept is the same). It worked like a charm, and the code was almost 1-to-1 Common Lisp.

Hi Joel, Richard Waters has a wonderful technical report on the pretty printer and provides an example of printing Pascal code. Googling (http:// www.google.com/search?ie=utf8&oe=utf8&q=richard+merl+waters+pretty +printer) seems to do the trick. Let me know if you want me to send it to you directly.
