Say I've compiled sbcl, installed and now I'm running it. When I try to use a contrib module (e.g: sb-posix) it says there's no such package, even though on the install output i see him copying the .asd file... what's going on?

Shinmera: what i meant was is there a file where i put my desired requires (like an entry point for running sbcl); nvm it's not that important, just wanted my build to be more comfy

you can put (require :sb-posix) into ~/.sbclrc, but if you use SBCL via SLIME (recommended), sb-posix will already be loaded

if your project has a system file, it's good to explicitly express the dependency on sb-posix. that's a frequent source of implicit dependency problems in projects submitted to quicklisp.

Xach: thanks, though it's just for my own convenience when testing things. but ofc you're right

could make-static-vector be used to point to a range of foreign memory, eg. via :initial-contents #<SAP...>? Or would that break GC?

or is that something that doesn't help because performance of a (manual) loop around mem-aref is the same as when using vector?

I'd have hoped that the SBCL internal array representation just uses a pointer to the actual data anyway
