Hello Spiros,
thank you for your contribution. We do not accept patches over mailing list. Instead we prefer merge requests on our repository. This makes possible peer review, requeesting changes and continous integration.
Repository is located here: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl
Please create a git commit with detailed commit message and make a merge request there. Branch used for development is called "develop" (it will be cloned as default unless you specify it otherwise).
If you are not familiar with gitlab workflow here's how it goes: - [on gitlab] create an account on the platform - [on gitlab] fork the repository into your personal userspace - [locally] clone the repository from your fork - [locally] do appriate changes on your computer and make git commit - [locally] push to your local repository - [on gitlab] go to merge requests tab and select "new merge request"
While this patch is small and I could manage merging it (although it is made against ecl 16.1.3 version, so patch may fail against develop branch), I'm anxious about setting a precedence - working with patches manually is more time-consuming on my part. I hope that this explanation is sufficient to you. Once again thank you for sharing your improvements to ECL.
Best regards, Daniel
