;;;; This file contains global vars (defvars/defmvars) that are used in
;;;; multiple files.  We gather them all here so that they are
;;;; consistently defined across the build and to make the dependencies

;;;; WARNING: Be very careful about initializing variables to constant
;;;; lists.  Lisp compilers can and will coalesce such constant lists
;;;; into the same object.  This is problematic because Maxima
;;;; sometimes uses destructive operations to modify these variables,
;;;; which causes unrelated variables to also change in weird ways.

(defmacro defmvar (var &optional val doc &rest options)
  "Define a Maxima variable VAR that is user-visible.  It is
  initialized to the value VAL.  An associated documentation string
  can be supplied in DOC.  OPTIONS contains a list of options that can
  be applied to the variable.

  The valid options are:

    NO-RESET
        - If given, the variable will not be reset.
    FIXNUM, BOOLEAN, STRING, FLONUM
        - The type of variable.  Currently ignored.
    :PROPERTIES
        - A list of properties to be applied for this variable.  It is
          a list of lists.  Each sublist is a list of the property and
          the value to be assigned to the property.
    :SETTING-PREDICATE
        - A function (symbol or lambda) of one argument specifying the
          value that variable is to be set to.  It should return
          non-NIL if the value is valid.  When NIL is returned, an
          optional second value may be given which is a string giving
          the reason why the setting failed.
    :SETTING-LIST
        - A list of values that can be assigned to the variable.  An
          error is signaled if an attempt to assign a different value
          is done.
    :DEPRECATED-P
        - The variable is marked as deprecated.  The option is a
          string to be printed when this deprecated variable is used.
          A warning is printed once when first used. This option
          overrides any other options.  When the variable is used, a
          message is printed of the form: \"Deprecated variable
          `<var>': <string>\" where <var> is the name of this
          variable, and <string> is the value given to :deprecated-p.

          An example of usage:

            (defmvar $foo foo-value
              \"Docstring for deprecated foo.\"
              :deprecated-p \"Use bar instead\")

  The list of properties has the form ((ind1 val1) (ind2 val2) ...)
  where IND1 is the name of the property and VAL1 is the value
  associated with the property.

  Other options that are recognized but ignored: IN-CORE, SEE-ALSO,
  MODIFIED-COMMANDS.  For any other options, a warning is produced.

  Do not use both :SETTING-PREDICATE and :SETTING-LIST.  Also do not
  use a :PROPERTIES with an 'ASSIGN property.  :SETTING-PREDICATE and
  :SETTING-LIST sets the 'ASSIGN property to implement the
  functionality.
