[rdnzl-devel] Generic Methods patch

[Brian Connoy]

As Edi recently notes, he is unavailable to maintain RDNZL.


A few days ago I received from LispWorks a possible RDNZL patch pertaining to Generic Methods.  I've not the aptitude to have prepared it myself, nor the time now to thoroughly test it.  As LispWorks states,  "The Generic Method lookup is currently written in Lisp, which means that it allocates quite a lot.  If that becomes a problem, then it could be rewritten in C++ for further support incident(s) and added to the RDNZL.dll (built from rdnzl-cpp)."



I'd consider it my small contribution to the Lisp community to offer this patch and pay LispWorks for a C++ rewrite, if necessary.  But I need to turn to the rest of you for testing and eventual patching of RDNZL.  I'd otherwise pass this along to the RDNZL maintainer ... but they have yet to appoint themself.       ;^)



For now I suppose the patch could be emailed to those of you interested in trying it out.   You are welcome to contact me.



Cheers,

Brian Connoy
