You don't need to debug with sbcl. If a bug happens via SBCL and
not via GCL then that is a bug in the compiler and not in the
algebra code. So you would not be interested in debugging unless
you are a compiler writer.
Sorry, that very naive: Axiom in many places makes unportable
assumptions. So, in most cases when code works in one Lisp but
fails in another the code is wrong. FYI SBCL caught a number of bugs
that were hidden when running under gcl (some of them were likely to
give you "memory may be damaged" message).
Do you really mean that you had to change the *algebra* code? I did not
speak of anything else. That the lisp/boot/shoe code is something else,
I completely understand. And I also understand that for such issues
different compilers are good. (Sorry for the gap that I left in my
statement.)
I cannot much help with the LISP part of Axiom and so I am only
interested that whoever works on it should do a good job.
Do not take this message personally,
I don't consider your message as an offence.
but I am concerned by general attitude presented on this list: people
here frequently ignore important practical problems.
I understand your point.
Ralf
