8.3 Primitive Types

For reference, here is a list of all the primitive types that may exist in SXEmacs. Note that some of these types may not exist in some SXEmacs executables; that depends on the options that SXEmacs was configured with.

• bit-vector
• buffer
• char-table
• character
• charset
• coding-system
• cons
• color-instance
• compiled-function
• console
• database
• device
• event
• extent
• face
• float
• font-instance
• frame
• glyph
• hash-table
• image-instance
• integer
• keymap
• marker
• process
• range-table
• specifier
• string
• subr
• subwindow
• symbol
• toolbar-button
• vector
• weak-list
• window
• window-configuration
• x-resource

In addition, the following special types are created internally but will never be seen by Lisp code. You may encounter them, however, if you are debugging SXEmacs. The printed representation of these objects begins ‘#<INTERNAL EMACS BUG’, which indicates to the Lisp programmer that he has found an internal bug in SXEmacs if he ever encounters any of these objects.

• char-table-entry
• command-builder
• extent-auxiliary
• extent-info
• lcrecord-list
• lstream
• opaque
• opaque-list
• popup-data
• symbol-value-buffer-local
• symbol-value-forward
• symbol-value-lisp-magic
• symbol-value-varalias
• toolbar-data
