[fricas-devel] Re: Aldor interface

Second: sbcl and especially ecl like it much better if you compile the lsp
files generated with the aldor compiler

What does that mean?

ecl complains about "too large jump" in aldor-combinat, unless you compile the
files. sbcl is *much* faster on compiled files.

Does that just mean that instead of

for f in $(ar t libcombinatax.al); do
echo ")lib $f" >> combinat.input;
done

we should have something like

for f in $(ar t libcombinatax.al); do
n=$(basename $f .ao);
echo ")compile $n.lsp" >> combinat.input;
echo ")lib $n" >> combinat.input;
done

in Aldor-combinat?

Not really, because it will fail for siprimes on machines with not enough
memory (eg., my laptop). (If you look at cssiprimes.lsp, you'll find a rather
long routine starting with

(|SetAElt|
t6
(the |SInt| 0)
(|CCall|
(|Lex| |Struct-cssiprimes-8-integer-3| 3 |l2|)
(|MakeLit| "2")))
(|SetAElt|
t6
(the |SInt| 1)
(|CCall|
(|Lex| |Struct-cssiprimes-8-integer-3| 3 |l2|)
(|MakeLit| "3")))
(|SetAElt|
t6
(the |SInt| 2)
(|CCall|
(|Lex| |Struct-cssiprimes-8-integer-3| 3 |l2|)
(|MakeLit| "5")))

and going on for quite a long time. It seems that not all compilers like it
equally well...
