I think (hope) there are not so many places in CL which allow to couple the code with the host compiler. Maybe this example with most-postivive-fixnum (-negative-long-float, etc) is the only one? If so, it must be very very rare case. Such problematic macro can be easily be adjusted to use some configurable parameter *target-most-positive-fixnum* instead of cl:most-positive-fixnum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
