#2: &key argument parsing must be fixed ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: ffjeld | Owner: ffjeld Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: compiler | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- The current compiler and run-time is not conformant wrt. parsing &key arguments. In particular, unknown keywords are just ignored, and both &allow-other-keys and :allow-other-keys are ignored. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.common-lisp.net/movitz/ticket/2> movitz <http://common-lisp.net/project/movitz> movitz

[movitz-ticket] [movitz] #1: Mechanism to create/compile "fasl" blobs and load them at run-time

#1: Mechanism to create/compile "fasl" blobs and load them at run-time -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: ffjeld | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: component1 | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- The cross-compiler environment should be able to produce fasl-like files that can be dynamically loaded by a running movitz kernel. The fasl would be transported e.g. by some simple network protocol (tftp), or a (simulated) block-device, or perhaps even a (simulated) serial port. This feature would serve a number of purposes: * Separate the "kernel" as such from other software components/applications. Currently , everything needs to be compiled together in a single image. * Facilitate systems that grow beyond the size of what fits on a floppy. While it is currently possible to use grub to load bigger images e.g. from HD, floppy images are much more convenient to work with. * Enable dynamic recompilation of functions, i.e. without dumping and rebooting the image. This is really an essential aspect of any lisp system, and it's a shame really that it's not been fixed already. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.common-lisp.net/movitz/ticket/1> movitz <http://common-lisp.net/project/movitz> movitz
