Re: [Gcl-devel] Re: SLIME

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for the reference!

1) These are not part of the ANSI standard, correct?
2) That being said, I think the public doamin implementation cited
will likely compile as is under ansi gcl.  Perhaps we could distribute
as a module like the tk interface?
3) Any progress on the sibling call front?  I think I remember reading
somewhere that gcc can optionally output a file listing the sibcall
optimizations it performed.  Cannot find it right now.  Might be of
interest in adding a compiler note like the current one regarding
simple tail recursion call optimization.

Separately, I'm wondering if there is anything particularly functional
about lisp arising from its design alone, which I consider to be
primarily defined by the 'code is data' feature.  I know that acl2
goes to great lengths to be functional, and I wonder if this is
connected with their original decision to write in lisp.  In other
words, how valuable is sibling call optimization in a lisp system?

Take care,
