I've confirmed that the closure rework branch I announced at hte beginning of the year can be built from 10.1.9 out of the box, so I'd like to merge it. This will bring substantial all-around performance improvements on many if not most workloads, and will pave the way to the merge aarch64 support I wrote last year.
If anyone wants to try it before I go, here's how, from an existing amd64 system: 1. Build 10.1.9 and install it into $PATH. 2. Check out the riastradh-20181220-closentry-v11 branch. 3. ./configure --enable-cross-compiling 4. make 5. make check Note that the --enable-cross-compiling option is _mandatory_ when compiling from 10.1.9. It will cease to be mandatory once the branch is merged and released, unless, of course, you want to cross-compile from, say, aarch64 to amd64 for some reason. Old .com files from before the flag day will not work with new Schemes from after the flag day. For more information, see the message dated 2019-01-05, Message-Id: <[email protected]>, `Rework amd64 ABI -- flag day'. To review the changes on the branch, use git show riastradh-20181220-closentry-v11-base..riastradh-20181220-closentry-v11 or your favourite variant of that. If anyone has issues, please speak now or forever hold your peace! _______________________________________________ MIT-Scheme-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mit-scheme-devel
