How would I get a list of Common Lisp source files from a system

[Christian Schafmeister]

Thanks Fare,

I’m integrating a new Common Lisp compiler front end into Clasp from Robert Strandh’s (beach) SICL project called Cleavir.  Once I have it integrated I’ll have a performant Common Lisp implementation that can compile and run everything fast, including ASDF.

Currently I only have my bootstrapping compiler - which generates relatively slow code (>100x slower than SBCL).

I need to integrate Cleavir into my build system. My build system is just a long list of files that need to be COMPILE-FILEd and then linked together into a monolithic image.

Robert uses ASDF systems in his code and I’ve been using them to load and compile Cleavir as a collection of add-on systems to Clasp while I’ve been integrating Cleavir.

Clasp bootstraps with an interpreter (very slow) which compiles a bootstrapping compiler (faster but still slow).  I will
