Re: [Gcl-devel] metering.lisp

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  

1) GCL now follows the ansi behavior of reporting an error when
   calling (in-package before (make-package.  In CLtL1, (in-package
   would make the package if necessary.  So I would recommend doing a
   (make-package, (or loading metering.lisp), loading the binary,
   doing a few (gbc t) calls, and (si::save-system "whatever").  It
   would be nice to get the package making statement in the .o file,
   but I don't know how to do it off the top of my head.

2) What is consing information?

Take care,
