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

HOWTO:
First Patch the ABCL sources:
[root@titan abcl]# patch -p0 < svn11486-ikvm.patch
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Complex.java
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/IkvmSite.java
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Lisp.java
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Load.java
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Nil.java
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Pathname.java
Clean:
[root@titan abcl]# rm -rf build dist
Build ABCL:
[root@titan abcl]#ant abcl.dist
....
Download the latest binaries from http://ikvm.net
I use the "stable" ones: 0.36.0.11
Unzip the binaries to a $ABCL_HOME/bin/
Update MON_PATH:
export MONO_PATH=.:bin
Build the ABCL.Net.dll and abcl.exe
alias ikvmc='mono bin/ikvmc.exe '
[root@titan abcl]# ikvmc -compressresources -recurse:build/classes/
-out:ABCL.Net.dll
Note IKVMC0003: automatically adding reference to "/development/mirrors
/ABCL-SVN/trunk/abcl/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll"
[root@titan abcl]# ikvmc -r:ABCL.Net.dll -main:org.armedbear.lisp.Main
-out:abcl.exe
Note IKVMC0003: automatically adding reference to
"bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll"
Run it:
[root@titan abcl]# mono abcl.exe

#58: Lisp-side introspection into java classes

Component: CLOS | Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
It'd be nice if ABCL would provide Lisp-side introspection
into Java classes. Including ABCL's own datastructures like
Readtable, Mutex, etc. So it can be used in Slime.

#43: Interface for API users to hook into debugging output

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Currently, we don't have ways to hook into debugging information in ABCL
from higher-up API users. It would be nice to be able to offer such
interfaces, since it would definitely offer developers better ways to
integrate ABCL into deployed apps.

SLIME from CVS HEAD fails to load with r11371, as it apparently needs

The attached patch adds 'with-mutex.lisp' to the ABCL jar.

#33: Measure the impact of filling stack trace information when performing
GO/RETURN/THROW
----------------------------------------------------------------------+-----

Type: task | Status: new

----------------------------------------------------------------------+-----
Douglas R. Miles reported recently that
java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace() can be a very time consuming
operation when instantiating Throwables or objects the class of which
extends Throwable.
A patch for overriding the fillInStackTrace() function with an empty
implementation was created, it seems to be a performance gain, but a
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
only GO/RETURN/THROW.
