Greetings! It is my intention to have the next GCL release, hopefully
in about a month, have a fully compliant :cl package, e.g. with only the
standard symbols exported. There will be a :cltl1-compat package with
the older CLtL1 symbols which may be used. I am also thinking it wise
to export some useful symbols from :cl-user, like si::bye, si::quit,
si::clines, si::defentry, and si::system. It is not clear whether this
will reduce the compatibility changes requried in maxima, as I don't
think these functions are called in an environment using :cl-user.
Ideally, I'd like 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 both to compile two subsequent
versions of maxima.
Here is the string necessary to feed into gcl 2.6.13pre prior to
building existing maxima:
echo '(progn (dolist (l (quote si::(clines defentry system object bye
quit get-setf-method))) (import l :cl)(export l :cl))(export (quote
*load-pathname*) :si)(setf (symbol-function (quote si::get-setf-method))
(symbol-function (quote get-setf-expansion)))(si::save-system "gcl"))' |
GCL_ANSI=t gcl
This restores the portion of the legacy broken symbol package layout
used by current maxima sources.
Post transition, I think a lot of #+gcl #-gcl can be removed.
Comments most welcome.
Take care,
