[comp.sys.next] NeXT AKCL available

yonezawa@m.cs.uiuc.edu (Noritake Yonezawa) (06/17/91)

AKCL(Austin Kyoto Common Lisp)-1.530 for NeXT computers is now available
on sonata.cc.purdue.edu[128.210.15.30] in

	pub/next/submissions/akcl-1.530.NeXT.bin.tar.Z

via anonymous ftp.  It runs on NeXT OS 2.[01]. The distribution contains
executable files of AKCL-1.530, GCC-1.40, and modified GAS-1.38 which
generates Mach-O object files.

The uncompressed `saved_kcl' is large - about 9.9 MB.
Since NeXT's sbrk() doesn't assure contiguous memory allocation after
restarting from a saved image, I replaced it with my own routine which
allocates large virtual memory once. This approach made the saved_kcl large.

This port uses GCC-1.40 and modified GAS-1.38 instead of NeXT's
(g)cc and (g)as to compile C-files generated by the AKCL compiler.
Current version doesn't work well with NeXT's (g)as.

The restrictions of this port are as follows:

  * The process size is fixed. (maximum pages = 4096)
  * `system::faslink' is not supported.
