 <h4 class="subsection">Byte-Code Function Type</h4> <p><em>Byte-code function objects</em> are produced by byte-compiling Lisp code (see <a href="byte-compilation">Byte Compilation</a>). Internally, a byte-code function object is much like a vector; however, the evaluator handles this data type specially when it appears in a function call. See <a href="byte_002dcode-objects">Byte-Code Objects</a>. </p> <p>The printed representation and read syntax for a byte-code function object is like that for a vector, with an additional ‘<samp>#</samp>’ before the opening ‘<samp>[</samp>’. </p><div class="_attribution">
