Function VECTOR-POP

Syntax:

vector-pop vector => element

Arguments and Values:

vector---a vector with a fill pointer.

element---an object.

Description:

Decreases the fill pointer of vector by one, and retrieves the element of vector that is designated by the new fill pointer.

Examples:

 (vector-push (setq fable (list 'fable))
              (setq fa (make-array 8
                                   :fill-pointer 2
                                   :initial-element 'sisyphus))) =>  2 
 (fill-pointer fa) =>  3 
 (eq (vector-pop fa) fable) =>  true
 (vector-pop fa) =>  SISYPHUS 
 (fill-pointer fa) =>  1 

Side Effects:

The fill pointer is decreased by one.

Affected By:

The value of the fill pointer.

Exceptional Situations:

An error of type type-error is signaled if vector does not have a fill pointer.

If the fill pointer is zero, vector-pop signals an error of type error.
