Looks great! With such minimal and innocuous changes to asdf.lisp itself, I think applying the patch upstream should be a no-brainer. That said, I don't have commit access.

These are additional flags for COMPILE-FILE. It is used by ECL > because we want to produce two files per source file: an object file and the > FASL itself. These files can be separately used for building larger things > (shared libraries, programs...) or for immediate loading. > The second set of changes is isolated in a single file, asdf-ecl.lisp, which > is more complex. This file contains a number of extensions, which may or may > not be adapted to other platforms (I believe it is possible, at least for > some things). What it implements: > - COMPILED-FILE, a new component for distribution of pre-compiled files. I > use it to build pre-packaged versions of RT, the compiler and other things > that now can be included as dependencies. > - A number of operations for creating shared libraries, programs, etc. > These operations use traverse in a funny way to find out the order in which > files should be combined. I call them BUNDLEs because the result is a single > binary file that combines many lisp sources, compiled. It has an important > advantage for ECL, apart from distribution, for it takes less resources to > load a single file. > - A function, MAKE-BUILD, which uses those operations hiding the details. > - A new operation, LOAD-FASL-OP, which uses those "bundles". > - A hook into REQUIRE using LOAD-FASL-OP. > What is implemented more or less follows this > http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/ch16.html > Comments are welcome. > Juanjo > -- > Instituto de Física Fundamental, CSIC > c/ Serrano, 113b, Madrid 28006 (Spain) > http://juanjose.garciaripoll.googlepages.com > > _______________________________________________ > asdf-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
