Hey folks,
I've implemented a new Common Lisp implementation that hosts the ECL Common
Lisp source code.
The core of it is written from scratch in C++ using completely different core
data-structures than ECL.
I've reproduced the functionality of the ECL core without copying the C source
code or data structures but my code and ECL host the same ECL CL source code.
I've compiled about 50 of the ECL Common lisp source files - the list is shown
below but when I hit generic functions and funcallable-instances that's where
it becomes extremely important to understand the ECL generic-function
dispatching and caching very well and mimic it very closely.
Could anyone who understands this code spend a few minutes with me on the phone
or Skype to give me a few pointers as to how it works? I kind of get it but it
would be great to talk to someone who really understand it how it works.
Feel free to email me: chris.sc...@verizon.net or find me on the #lisp IRC
channel on freenode.net. My id on #lisp is drmeister.
I'll follow up with an email to this mail-list regarding why I'm doing this and
what I'm up to.
