#41: Compilation of single-/double-float arithmetic to immediate byte code

 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:            
Component:  compiler     |     Version:

 Currently, the following code

 "
 (lambda (x)
   (declare (double-float x))
   (+ 3.0e0
      (* 12.0e0 x)))
 "

 disassembles to a call to a LispObject function for + and one for *.

 However, this code could be more efficient if only 1 new object would be
 required. This can be achieved by unboxing X, then doing the math in Java
 byte code and boxing the result before it's returned.
