- Reorder README to have implementation list after "learning tool" bullet. - This also moves tests/ and libs/ into impls. It would be preferrable to have these directories at the top level. However, this causes difficulties with the wasm implementations which need pre-open directories and have trouble with paths starting with "../../". So in lieu of that, symlink those directories to the top-level. - Move the run_argv_test.sh script into the tests directory for general hygiene.

* Implementation of MAL in Common Lisp
|
|
|
|
** Introduction
|
|
|
|
This is a portable implementation of MAL in Common Lisp. It has been tested to
|
|
work with following Common Lisp implementations
|
|
|
|
- Steel Bank Common Lisp [[http://sbcl.org/]]
|
|
- Clozure Common Lisp [[http://ccl.clozure.com/]]
|
|
- CMU Common Lisp [[https://www.cons.org/cmucl/]]
|
|
- GNU CLISP [[http://www.clisp.org/]]
|
|
- Embeddable Common Lisp [[https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/]]
|
|
- ManKai Common Lisp https://common-lisp.net/project/mkcl/
|
|
- Allegro CL [[http://franz.com/products/allegro-common-lisp/]]
|
|
- Armed Bear Common Lisp [[http://abcl.org/]]
|
|
|
|
[[http://www.cliki.net/cl-launch][cl-launch]] to build executable/wrapper scripts for most of the above implementations.
|
|
|
|
** Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- cl-launch
|
|
For building command line executable scripts. See [[http://www.cliki.net/cl-launch][cl-launch]]
|
|
|
|
- quicklisp
|
|
For installing dependencies. See [[https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/][quicklisp]]
|
|
|
|
- readline
|
|
For readline integration. You can install it on Ubuntu using apt the package
|
|
is ~libreadline-dev~. If you wish to run the implementation using Allegro CL,
|
|
you will also have to install the 32 bit version of readline
|
|
(~lib32readline-dev~ on Ubuntu)
|
|
|
|
- (Optional) asdf
|
|
This is needed if you want to run the implementation using GNU CLISP, since
|
|
GNU CLISP does not ship with ~asdf~ and ~cl-launch~ depends on it. You can
|
|
install it on Ubuntu using apt the package is ~cl-asdf~
|
|
|
|
** Running using different implementations
|
|
|
|
By default the MAL is built using ~sbcl~, you can control this using ~LISP~
|
|
environment variable. The variable should be set to the cl-launch "nickname" for
|
|
implementation. The nicknames that work currently are
|
|
|
|
|------------------------+----------|
|
|
| Implementation | Nickname |
|
|
|------------------------+----------|
|
|
| Steel Bank Common Lisp | sbcl |
|
|
| Clozure Common Lisp | ccl |
|
|
| CMU Common Lisp | cmucl |
|
|
| GNU CLISP | clisp |
|
|
| Embeddable Common Lisp | ecl |
|
|
| ManKai Common Lisp | mkcl |
|
|
| Allegro CL | allegro |
|
|
| Armed Bear Common Lisp | abcl |
|
|
|------------------------+----------|
|
|
|
|
For example to build with GNU CLISP, you need to do the following
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
|
cd common-lisp ; LISP=clisp make
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
You can control the implementation binary used for the build using environment
|
|
variables. For a given implementation nickname, the environment variable will
|
|
be the capitalization of the given nickname.

|
| Implementation | Binary Path |
|
|
|------------------------+-------------|
|
|
| Steel Bank Common Lisp | SBCL |
|
|
| Clozure Common Lisp | CCL |
|
|
| CMU Common Lisp | CMUCL |
|
|
| GNU CLISP | CLISP |
|
|
| Embeddable Common Lisp | ECL |
|
|
| ManKai Common Lisp | MKCL |
|
|
| Allegro CL | ALLEGRO |
|
|
| Armed Bear Common Lisp | ABCL |
|
|
|------------------------+-------------|
|
|
|
|
For example to build MAL with Clozure CL installed in
|
|
~\~/.roswell/impls/x86-64/linux/ccl-bin/1.11/lx86cl64~, you need to do the
|
|
following
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
|
cd common-lisp ; LISP=ccl CCL=~/.roswell/impls/x86-64/linux/ccl-bin/1.11/lx86cl64 make
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
You can use the variables ~*cl-implementation*~ and ~*cl-version*~ can be used
|
|
to in MAL REPL to check the Common Lisp implementation and the version used for
|
|
building it.
|
|
|
|
** Interop
|
|
|
|
There is some basic interop in the form ~cl-eval~ which takes a string and
|
|
evaluates it as Common Lisp code, the result is returned in form of a MAL value,
|
|
as such you are limited to code that produces values that have MAL counterparts.
|
|
|
|
** Known Issues
|
|
ABCL takes a long to boot as such it needs to be run with ~TEST_OPTS~ set to ~--start-timeout 120~
