ABCL uses Java char[]s to represent its strings. However, the char type
can only represent values in the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane), because
only the BMP can be represented using 16 bits.
For supplementary characters (all Unicode chars outside the BMP), it uses
a pair of surrogate characters (UTF-16).
Common Lisp programs don't expect this and need strings to be represented
using complete characters.

--------------------------------------------------------------------+-------
It's possible to define classes at runtime, by generating bytecode and
loading it from the generated binary data, without ever writing it to a
temporary file. runtime-class.lisp does that, but it requires an external
bytecode library (ASM). ABCL has all the functionality for this to be done
without ASM, so the task is to modify the runtime-class.lisp code so that
ASM is no longer required and the code can be taken to be part of the
build.

The functions COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE use temporary files for the class

However, COMPILE directly loads them back into memory and deletes the temp

This ticket exists to indicate that infrastructure is required to better
manage where output goes to, abstracting from the temp files.

Alan Ruttenberg's [invoke.lisp][1] has the ability to easily add
additional Java JARs at runtime by using the [beanshell classloader][2].
With a few additions to the ASDF system, this allows one to easily specify
"wrappings" of Java components which load JARs or find classfiles on the
filesystem.
The code in the Beanshell classmanager could be added to the ABCL src tree
fairly easily to facilitate this behavior.

Currently, Load.java inspects a file to find whether or not this file is a

However, in many circumstances in Java one has a stream of unknown origin.
It's a requirement for good Java integration to be able to load FASLs off
arbitrary streams (resource streams, e.g.).

Alan Ruttenberg writes:
In order to enable easy packaging of a system into a jar file, one
that might even be usable as an applet, a small change is needed.
Currently load-system-file can read an .abcl compiled file set from
the abcl jar. Actually, it doesn't load the .abcl directly. That file
is a zip file with a "top level" file with a "._" extension and a
bunch of .cls files. The unpacked contents of these files live in the
abcl jar, with the "._" file renamed to have the extension ".abcl".
The loading happens by first loading the "._" file, a file of lisp
forms, which when evaluated, in turn calls load-compiled-function on
each of the component .cls files (plus does some other stuff). All of
these files live in a single directory in the jar file: org/armedbear/
lisp/
I'd like to be able to load from a subdirectory of that, in which I
would put my files. I can tell load-system-file to load the initial
abcl file from the subdirectory, say, org/armedbear/lisp/util/, but
then load-compiled-function wants to load the components from org/
armedbear/lisp. So the small change is to set *load-truename* in load-
system-file, based on the supplied path, and then to use it as the
pathname defaults when executing the call to load-compiled-function.
It seems to do this for the case where it loads from the regular file
system, but not when working with the jar file.
Once this change is in place, to package up a system, one would unjar
abcl.jar, move one's compiled files in to a subdirectory of org/
armedbear/lisp, unzip all of them, rename *._ to *.abcl, and jar them
back up.
One could them load a file from the jar with: (sys:load-system-file
"mydir/foo.abcl")
loadCompiledFunction is defined in Lisp.java and loadSystemFile in
Load.java

A patch for overriding the fillInStackTrace() function with an empty

benchmark is required. ANSI tests test so many other things that it's
difficult to compare the impact of the patch without a test that tests
