SBCL is a fork off of the main branch of CMUCL. SBCL is distinguished from CMUCL by a greater emphasis on maintainability. In particular, the SBCL system can be built directly from its source code, so that the output corresponds to the source code in a controlled, verifiable way, and arbitrary changes can be made to the system without causing bootstrapping problems. SBCL also places less emphasis than CMU CL does on new non-ANSI extensions, or on backward compatibility with old non-ANSI features.
More information at the Sourceforge project page at http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/, and on the SBCL Internals CLiki
Common-Lisp-Controller-compatible SBCL Debian (.deb) packages are part of Debian GNU/Linux 3.0/Woody and Debian GNU/Linux 3.1/Sarge for Alpha, x86, PPC, and SPARC. Later releases will include more architectures.
The Sun's assembler doesn't like the GNU syntax used in the SBCL assembler sources, so something like the following is required:
$ ln -s `which gcc` ~/bin/gcc $ ln -s `which gas` ~/bin/as $ export COMPILER_PATH=~/bin
Also, when building from CMUCL you need to add the following stanza to src/cold/ansify.lisp:
#+(and cmu sparc) (ext:set-floating-point-modes :traps '(:overflow :invalid :divide-by-zero))
(unless (equalp
(lisp-implementation-type)
"SBCL") (quit))
$ cat foo #| exec sbcl --noinform --load $0 --end-toplevel-options "$@" |# (format t "hi~%") (quit) $ chmod a+x foo $ ./foo hi $To compile, simply
#| fasl=`dirname $0`/`basename $0 .lisp`.fasl [ $fasl -ot $0 ] && sbcl --noinform --eval "(compile-file \"$0\")" --eval "(quit)" > /dev/null exec sbcl --noinform --load $fasl --end-toplevel-options "$@" |#
