[Sbcl-help] 0.6.5 on linux, and multi-proc

[Craig B. <cr...@re...>]

First, I wanna let you know that I built 0.6.5 on linux using
sbcl-0.6.4.  I haven't tried building with CMUCL on that platform
yet.  I'm trying to get multi-proc suport back in, and am making some
progress.  I have a few questions tho.

Would there be any issues with having the stem loader just compile
files that have changed source since the last time they were compiled.
Have that turned on an off by a switch, so that we can still get clean
builds.  Maybe it could be more sophisticated and compile every file
after the first changed file it finds in the stem list.  I am still
trying to work out the whole build process, so I may be suggesting
something impossible.

In general, I'm looking for ways to break the build process down a
little bit so that my work in fixing MP is a little quicker.  Right
now it takes a good chunk of time to compile and load everything up
till multi-proc.lisp only to find another problem.  Then I gotta do it
all over against when I fix it.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

When are def!struct and other def!<blah> constructs needed, and when
are they not.  Do I need to convert the defstructs in multi-proc.lisp
to them?

Is there any problem with breaking multi-proc.lisp into multiple
files?  One for processes, another for stacks groups.

Thanx for SBCL!
