[clisp-list] Happy new year to CLISP

[Jean L. <bu...@gn...>]

I wish to all Happy New Year, to CLISP users.

While learning, I am wondering, how to use this function:

 (encrypt (ext:convert-string-to-bytes "Hello there" "utf-8") t)

*** - ENCRYPT: #(72 101 108 108 111 32 116 104 101 114 101) is not of type (VECTOR (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) 8)

as:

[59]> (type-of (convert-string-to-bytes "Hello there" "utf-8"))
(SIMPLE-ARRAY (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) (11))

while implementation notes say, it should return the byte vector. How
can I convert simple array to byte vector?


(EXT:CONVERT-STRING-TO-BYTES string encoding &KEY :START :END)
converts the subsequence of string from start to end to a (VECTOR
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 8)), according to the given encoding, and returns the
resulting byte vector.
