On this page is only an aligned comparison of both descriptions for the functions :(CLHS EVERY), :(CLHS SOME), :(CLHS NOTEVERY), and :(CLHS NOTANY), the one in the CLHS and the CLtL2 version, for your convenience. The issue itself is only included on the page Proposed ANSI Revisions and Clarifications to avoid a mere copy that is to be maintained separately.
clhs: every, some, notevery, and notany test elements of sequences for satisfaction of a given predicate. clhs: The first argument to predicate is an element of the first sequence; each succeeding argument is an element of a succeeding sequence. cltl2: These are all predicates. The predicate must take as many arguments as there are sequences provided. clhs: Predicate is first applied to the elements with index 0 in each of the sequences, and possibly then to the elements with index 1, cltl2: The predicate is first applied to the elements with index 0 in each of the sequences, and possibly then to the elements with index 1, clhs: and so on, until a termination criterion is met or the end of the shortest of the sequences is reached. cltl2: and so on, until a termination criterion is met or the end of the shortest of the sequences is reached. cltl2: If the predicate has side effects, it can count on being called first on all the elements numbered 0, then on all those numbered 1, and so on. clhs: every returns false as soon as any invocation of predicate returns false. If the end of a sequence is reached, every returns true. cltl2: every returns nil as soon as any invocation of predicate returns nil. If the end of a sequence is reached, every returns a non-nil value. clhs: Thus, every returns true if and only if every invocation of predicate returns true. cltl2: Thus, considered as a predicate, it is true if every invocation of predicate is true. clhs: some returns the first non-nil value which is returned by an invocation of predicate. cltl2: some returns as soon as any invocation of predicate returns a non-nil value; some returns that value. clhs: If the end of a sequence is reached without any invocation of the predicate returning true, some returns false. cltl2: If the end of a sequence is reached, some returns nil. clhs: Thus, some returns true if and only if some invocation of predicate returns true. cltl2: Thus, considered as a predicate, it is true if some invocation of predicate is true. clhs: notany returns false as soon as any invocation of predicate returns true. If the end of a sequence is reached, notany returns true. cltl2: notany returns nil as soon as any invocation of predicate returns a non-nil value. If the end of a sequence is reached, notany returns a non-nil value. clhs: Thus, notany returns true if and only if it is not the case that any invocation of predicate returns true. cltl2: Thus, considered as a predicate, it is true if no invocation of predicate is true. clhs: notevery returns true as soon as any invocation of predicate returns false. If the end of a sequence is reached, notevery returns false. cltl2: notevery returns a non-nil value as soon as any invocation of predicate returns nil. If the end of a sequence is reached, notevery returns nil. clhs: Thus, notevery returns true if and only if it is not the case that every invocation of predicate returns true. cltl2: Thus, considered as a predicate, it is true if not every invocation of predicate is true.
