12.2.9 signed-byte | Type
Supertypes: signed-byte, integer, rational, real, number, t Description: The atomic type specifier signed-byte denotes the same type as is denoted by the type specifier integer; however, the list forms of these two type specifiers have different semantics. Compound Type Specifier Kind: Abbreviating. Compound Type Specifier Syntax: `(signed-byte `[`s | *`]`)` Compound Type Specifier Arguments: s - a positive integer. Compound Type Specifier Description: This denotes the set of integers that can be represented in two's-complement form in a byte of s bits. This is equivalent to `(`integer -2s-1 2s-1-1`)`. The type signed-byte or the type `(signed-byte *)` is the same as the type integer. Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
