ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project is an effort to
|
|
modernize Giuseppe Attardi's ECL environment to produce an implementation of
|
|
the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
The current ECL implementation features:
|
|
* A bytecodes compiler and interpreter.
|
|
* A translator to C.
|
|
* An interface to foreign functions.
|
|
* A dynamic loader.
|
|
* The possibility to build standalone executables.
|
|
* The Common-Lisp Object System (CLOS).
|
|
* Conditions and restarts for handling errors.
|
|
* Sockets as ordinary streams.
|
|
* The Gnu Multiprecision library for fast bignum operations.
|
|
* A simple conservative mark & sweep garbage collector.
|
|
* The Boehm-Weiser garbage collector.
|
|
* Threads using the POSIX threads library.
|
|
* CLX, an X11 client not needing extra X11 libraries.
|
|
* Unicode.
