[comp.lang.lisp] U of Utah's Portable Common Lisp

rg@unh.UUCP (Roger Gonzalez) (08/11/89)

Is anyone out there familiar with implementation details of Utah's
Portable Common Lisp?  We have the version for HP-UX, which has been
ported to System V Unix, and is now being put on the real-time OS
pSOS.  We have been running into some snags, one of which is in the
realm of garbage collection.  Our compacting GC doesn't seem to 
reclaim enough; the heap pointer eventually climbs up to heaplast, and
craps out.  It even does this on the HP, which it was written for.
Are there any bugs in the code which have since been worked out?
Any insight would be appreciated.
