Re: Any complete CL implementations??
It is very hard to evaluation how much is finished, as there is no
evaluation suite. We have an implementation for TOPS-20, based on
the CMU Spice Lisp implementation. Here are the known bugs and
omissions, but it is certainly possible that there are things we
don't know about. This prefixed by * will be fixed fairly soon.
*Supposedly the same args can be used for &rest and &key. This fails
(in interpreted code only; the compiler can handle this).
Complex numbers are not implemented.
When doing file-position, and maybe clrbfo and clrbfi, maybe
we should clear lookahead and other status.
Fix GRINDEF of macros to reproduce the DEFMACRO format,
instead of using the undocumented MACRO format.
Fix ` to produce a macro instead of expanding at read time.
That way GRINDEF can print them properly.
It should be possible to continue after a break initiated by ^B.
Printing of circular objects is not implemented.
INSPECT is not really implemented.
RANDOM don't seem very hot: There seems to be too many repeated values.
Maybe this is word-size dependent or something.
Use | | instead of slashification in printing atom names.
Missing :copier option for defstruct
Missing &environment option for defmacro
In Arith, function that could benefit from handcoding:
dramatic benefit: floor, ceiling, round, mod, logcount
some benefit: rem, ffloor, fceiling, ftruncate, fround
RATIONALIZE is currently the same as RATIONAL.
Compiler can't handle closures. Programs will work, but functions
requiring closures will be interpreted.
Missing DEFTYPE
*READ barfs when CL:CLISP is typed in.
*TRUNCATE doesn't return correct remainders for some values. Eg, -0.7
and -0.3.
