Hi, Does anyone here have any thoughts on developing a MOP (such as described in AMOP) for CLisp? Is anyone working on this? Are there architectural impediments to doing this work in CLisp, as it stands now? Are there others interested in having a MOP in CLisp? -- Best Regards, - Peter Peter Denno National Institute of Standards and Technology, Manufacturing System Integration Division, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 8260 Tel: +1 301-975-3595 Gaithersburg, MD, USA 20899-8260 FAX: +1 301-975-4694 |

Do you mean something more integrated with CLISP than PCL?

Thanks, Paolo. I did not realize that PCL implemented the MOP to any extent. I now see that it does. So I need to start there. Has anyone tried to compile PCL with Clisp lately? I tried to build PCL with make (using the CMU repository distribution under clisp, others do not have clisp-low.lsp nor the makefile). I hit a few problems, some of which might be spurious -- resulting from making a wrong choice somewhere. I'll look into this more, but if anyone has any immediate thoughts on any of the following, those would be appreciated: (1) Compiling file /home/pdenno/downloaded/lisp/clisp/packages/pcl-orig/low.lsp ... *** - No class named: STD-INSTANCE. 0 errors, 0 warnings I wrote a work-around for this. It involves forcing find-class (the one in macros.lsp) to use the distribution's defstruct for std-instance -- not very elegant, to say the least. My compilation is not far enough along in the bootstrapping to tell whether or not my guess is ok. (2) Compiling file /home/pdenno/downloaded/lisp/clisp/packages/pcl/defclass.lsp ... *** - FUNCALL: the function WALKER::SPECIAL-FORM-P is undefined This one occurs after making the workaround described above. special-form-p is used in walker:walk-form-internal. Lispworks has a function by such a name in the lw package. cmulisp doesn't, and yet pcl runs there. (3) Compiling file /home/pdenno/downloaded/lisp/clisp/packages/pcl/cache.lsp ... WARNING in function MAKE-WRAPPER-INTERNAL in lines 317..381 : .GATHERING1. is neither declared nor bound, it will be treated as if it were declared SPECIAL. *** - EVAL: the function GATHER is undefined This one occurs after writing yet more work-arounds, so I may have done something wrong. Iterate.lsp exports a symbol "gather" yet doesn't provide a value for it. I don't think it is given a value anywhere (cmucl has this symbol too, but likewise it doesn't have a value (at startup) nor a function value). Any thoughts on any of this would be appreciated.
