<code>   </code>evaluate the given form in Lisp
<pre>Major Section:  <a href="PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS.html">PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS</a>
</pre><p>


<pre>
Example:
(lisp (assign xxx 3))
<p>
General Form:
(lisp form)
</pre>

Evaluate <code>form</code>.  The <code>lisp</code> command is mainly of interest for side
effects.  See also <code>print</code>, <code>skip</code>, and <code>fail</code>.<p>

The rest of the documentation for <code>lisp</code> is of interest only to
those who use it in macro commands.  If the Lisp evaluation (by
<code>trans-eval</code>) of form returns an ``error triple'' of the form
<code>(mv erp ((NIL NIL STATE) . (erp-1 val-1 &amp;)) state)</code>, then the
<code>lisp</code> command returns the appropriate error triple

<pre>
(mv (or erp erp-1)
    val-1
    state) .
</pre>

Otherwise, the <code>trans-eval</code> of form must return an ``error triple''
of the form <code>(mv erp (cons stobjs-out val) &amp;)</code>, and the <code>lisp</code>
command returns the appropriate error triple

<pre>
(mv erp
    val
    state).
</pre>
<p>

Note that the output signature of the form has been lost.  The user
must know the signature in order to use the output of the <code>lisp</code>
command.  Trans-eval, which is undocumented except by comments in
the ACL2 source code, has replaced, in <code>val</code>, any occurrence of
the current state or the current values of stobjs by simple symbols
such as <code>REPLACED-STATE</code>.  The actual values of these objects may
be recovered, in principle, from the <code>state</code> returned and the
<code>user-stobj-alist</code> within that state.  However, in practice, the
stobjs cannot be recovered because the user is denied access to
<code>user-stobj-alist</code>.  The moral is: do not try to write macro
commands that manipulate stobjs.  Should the returned <code>val</code>
contain <code>REPLACED-STATE</code> the value may simply be ignored and
<code>state</code> used, since that is what <code>REPLACED-STATE</code> denotes.
