[Gcl-devel] Re: GCL now circular?

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

OK, should be fixed now -- a configure bug.

You should now have

1) 128M more heap, heap start 0x0 in (room)
2) smaller saved images, 1/3 to 1/2 of before
3) faster build times/fewer recompilations
4) cmpinclude.h warning removal (i.e. __GNU_C redefined)
5) somewhat proper temp file handling, via the (si::with-temp-file
...) macro.

The latest gcc issues new warnings regarding type-punning which I am
cleaning up now.  This needs to go into 2.6.8pre and head.  Will post
when done.

2.6.8 is now held up only by 64bit xgcl, as far as I can see.

On the 2.7 front, recompilation seems to be working great, again as
far as I can see.  If you happen to get the acl2-hons through, please
let me know.  Then it is solid enough IMHO for the next step --
multiple value fast linking. 

Take care,
