[Ecls-list] Recursive compilation

[Adam Warner]

Hello ECL and GCL developers,

I've just confirmed on comp.lang.lisp that ECL and GCL do not conform with
ANSI Common Lisp in blocking recursive compilation:

Barry Margolin writes in reply: "There's nothing in the language spec that
mentions any restrictions on the expressions used within an EVAL-WHEN
:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL.  So COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE should be usable."

Regards,
Adam
