Hi, I'm writing a music/dsp programming environment for Common Lisp called Incudine [1]. Currently it works only with SBCL but I'm interested in the possibility to use also ECL. The principal reason is to bypass the problems of the gc in SBCL with this type of applications. However, I cannot hide the curiosity to use your fascinating implementation of CL, the combined use of Lisp and C is interesting and I presume the performance is good for realtime audio. Nice to read the list in a recent post "Upcoming". Besides, I have noticed that it is probably not difficult to change the gc if it is necessary.
I tested ECL at the start of my project but without success. No investigated the reasons but preferred to use the time to build all the other things. Now I have ecl-a40c190 on linux x86_64 and I'll start the experience. I would appreciate any suggestions about portable COMPARE-AND-SWAP and memory barrier facilities. In the past I used non-portable code inlined in C. In my code, the expansion of the definition of a synth is a big block (here is an example: [2]). The generated code is optimized in SBCL and there is not garbage during the performance. It is a great success. I would like to know if the procedures to get cons-free code are similar or if you could point me towards the right direction (links to existent efficient code are useful).
