[cl-prevalence-devel] cl-prevalence on clisp

[Tomas Zellerin]

Okay,

I enclose a patch that does following to port cl-prevalence to clisp:
- solves problem of probe-file being an error when called on directory
(clisp speciality)
- defines serializable-slots for standard classes and structures
- defines needed process and socket functions
With the patch, I was able to succesfully run all tests in demo1 and
demo2. However, I do *not* suggest including this patch to
distribution as whole - there are too many things that are not clean
there (including internal clos:: function in serializable-slots). Take
it more as a suggestion of what would be needed to port to clisp, and
include what you see fit.

The patch is against cvsroot version from yesterday, and works on
linux, clisp 2.33.2. Newer clisp may have correct mop functions, but I
do not have it compiled atm. You need bindings module (linux:) and
socket functions in clisp; the former can be modified to ffi.

P.S.: You know you have two #+sbcl branches in serializable-slots?
