Embedded CLISP (3: it works!)

[Goffioul M. <gof...@im...>]

Hi,
=20
First of all, thanks to anybody who helped me hacking CLISP to get it =
embeddable
(especially Sam). I finally got a usable version of embedded CLISP, and =
used it to
build a MATLAB->LISP bridge with success. I cannot provide any patch for =
the moment,
as the CVS server seems to be down still. But I give below a brief =
summary of the
changes I made to the CLISP code:
=20
1) makemake.in: added rules to build a shared library; only GNU compiler =
is supported,
and lisp.run is not linked against that shared lib (still a static =
executable)
=20
2) spvw.d: extracted needed code from "main" and "quit", created
"clisp_init(uintL memneed, char *memfile)" and "clisp_finish()"; longjmp =
is hanlded locally
in clisp_init to allow safe termination if a problem occurs during =
initialization
=20
3) eval.d: added a global error handler that is used in =
"invoke_handlers" if no other handler
is found; this global error handler can be defined using API and must be =
a nonreturning
function
=20
4) genclisp.d: uncommented some useful definitions for complex, ratio, =
array...; exported
additional functions like "eval", "apply"
=20
5) array.d: added "array_data" global function to access to storage =
vector of a given array
=20
This is certainly not perfect, neither complete, but it's at least a =
good start and it seems
to suit my current needs.

Bye.
Michael.
