I personally see no need for such option, but it is hard to know what other people want.
So no objection here. I think it is a good thing to properly layer a project -- it is good abstraction. In our case, it is the Lisp layer and C layer, and OS layer (shell stuff).
Also, without FFI we would have no gmp for sbcl. With ECL no C compiler means no compiler at all.
It is just an option for sbcl. For ECL I think it will call C compiler regardless of our CC setting.
Let me add that I consider making FFI mandatory and using foreign code to speed up algebra.
The "speed up" is GMP right? Currently only available for sbcl and clozurecl. On the same subject, what's your opinion on providing GMP for all Lisps via CFFI? - Qian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
