13:36:12beachLooking at the exchange in #clasp, I get the impression that there are still lots of problems. Or is it just a matter of improving performance?
13:37:38Bikekarlosz and i have been talking about doing some analysis in the compiler to find nonlocal exits where the intervening dynamic environments are statically known, and in that case using a faster exit mechanism
13:38:04beachFaster than the C++ exception mechanism?
13:38:23Bikeyeah, just setjmp/longjmp. _should_ be faster, but i'm going to test that now
13:38:27Bikesome of it may be applicable to sicl, like, you could have an unwind that doesn't need to call the unwind function
13:38:38Bikebut of course you're almost certainly not going to have this performance issue
13:39:04beachYeah, I don't think so. Either way, it's a long way off still.
13:41:13beachActually, I am dying to see what performance problems I will have. :)
13:42:58beachIt *is* the essence of SICL, so it should be impeccable, and I am currently the only one who can make it so. So I just need to bite the bullet.
17:03:23heisigI will be on vacation for the next three days. The place is without internet, so I won't be on IRC during that time.
