Re: correct sicl-git.version?

[Charles Z. <ka...@be...>]

Hello Bruno,

I've updated the file; it should be at 2b2a73ccc5b29fc8f76f402d2c1b5962b3aac461.

Unfortunately, SICL is still moving ahead very quickly, with frequent
breaking changes. It doesn't help that I am also contributing some
code/bugfixes upstream for problems I run into. I will try to keep
that file in sync.

Also, that new git version might try to pull in some new dependencies
like Eclector, etc.

And if you want to try self compiling, you will need to add #-cleavir
above this form:
https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL/blob/master/Code/Cleavir/Generate-AST/check-special-form-syntax.lisp#L66
(to handle multi-arg FUNCTION in clisp).
then
(push :cleavir *features*)
(setf *use-cleavir* t)
(time (let ((sys::*load-compiling* t)) (load ...)))
(time (let ((sys::*load-compiling* t)) (load ...)))

I am currently porting the compiler to use the new CSTs
https://github.com/robert-strandh/Concrete-Syntax-Tree for generating
ASTs instead of Generate-AST since that framework is now obsolete.
This will remove the need for that hack as well.

Again, bleeding edge stuff. SICL is not quite stable yet. I will try
to add more documentation about self-compiling once the port settles
down and of course general documentation in the meantime.
