[Gcl-devel] 2.7.0 reports

2007-06-21 Thread Camm Maguire
Greetings, and thanks for the reports! 1) gcl self compile time is deliberately slower, but may be mitigatable somewhat. Most of the core functions are now implemented in lisp rather than C, which allows for automatic source inlining. Unfortunately, this makes bootstrapping much slo

2006-11-15 Thread Camm Maguire
Greetings! OK, have committed my preliminary overhaul of the error system together with the attempt to be abort proof. Closed many ansi failures. Still need some cleanup, but thought it would be more time efficient to let others see what is going on at the moment and provide feedback. Take car

[Gcl-devel] 2.7.0 image sizes

2006-06-19 Thread Camm Maguire
Greetings! Just a quick note here -- the expansion is almost completely due to running the compiler in the *final* raw image initialization stage with si::*optimize-maximum-pages* set to t, the default. Not only should this never happen, but we should build a more compact image with the optimize

Greetings! Just a brief heads up about the latest commit just made. Quite a lot of changes, improvements hopefully :-). 1) si::proper-list is now propagated somewhat. This is basically intended to allow sequence -> list simplification inside certain do loops, etc. Check out the difference
