[Gcl-devel] RE: new benchmark results for 8 CL implementations in cliki.net

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Christian.

Thanks for taking the time to get back on this.

Searching the GCL mailing list to which I've CC'ed my reply, it looks like a
similar problem has been noted recently and has yet to be sorted out.

| It may surprise you that I did use an ANSI build of GCL. This is what
| happens when I try to compile clos.lisp:

Yes.  The thing that made me feel fairly sure that you were using CLtL1 was
that you mentioned originally that write-sequence/2 was not present and
apropos showed write-sequence present in the ANSI build but not the CLtL1
build I.

That aside:

Would you please be able to send us (this list and CC me) the results of
typing ":bt" at the debug prompt?  This will help use to discover where the
erroneous call came from.

| Sorry, I don't have a PIII around currently.

No worries - I just saw a section of results for the PIII and made the
assumption.

Cheers
