[Sbcl-devel] inline C/C++ mixed with lisp?

[Mateo <obr...@gm...>]

Unsatisfied dependencies in Debian/testing made me look in to lush in more detail.

In particular, I see that lush had (is it still maintained?) a syntax for writing inline C code 
mixed in with  lisp code. Could something like this be implemented for compiled sbcl, 
instead of dealing with the FFI library?

>From the lush manual (2001, p. 41 of PDF version):

(de harmonic (n)
  ((-double-) n)
  (let ((r 0))
    ((-double-) r)
    #{ { double i=0;
         while (i<$n){ i+=1.0; $r+=1/i; };
       } #} r))

This would be for the purpose of getting a bit of specialised fast code in lisp without 
worrying about trying to replace FFI functionality.
