It generates C-executables from Common Lisp application programs. CLiCC is not a Common Lisp system. Hence it does not include any program development or debugging support. CLiCC is intended to be used as an addon to existing Common Lisp systems for generating portable applications. CLiCC supports a subset of Common Lisp + CLOS, which we call CL_0 (CommonLisp_0). CL_0 is a strict and very large subset of full Common Lisp + CLOS, without (EVAL ...) and friends. At present, CL_0 is based on CLtL1, but we are working towards CLtL2 and ANSI-CL. The target language is a subset of C. CLiCC is adaptable to gene- rate ANSI-C or K&R-C by using a compiler option. The generated C code is compilable using a conventional C compiler on the target machine, and must be linked with the CLiCC runtime library in order to generate executables. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CLiCC is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.informatik.uni-kiel.de (134.245.15.113) file: kiel/apply/clicc-0.6.2.tar.Z ----------------------------------------------------------------- See at the file COPYRIGHT for copyright and warranty conditions. The file INSTALL describes the installation of CLiCC and the file src/compiler/README describes the usage of the compiler. Look into the directory doc for papers about CL_0, the generated C code, the used intermediate representation of programs, and the migration of Common Lisp programs to CL_0. If you have any problems using CLiCC, please contact us. You will find our e-mail and mail addresses below. Any suggestions or ideas to improve CLiCC are welcome. We are very interested in hearing about you, even if you just used CLiCC successfully. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Wolfgang Goerigk, wg@informatik.uni-kiel.de Ulrich Hoffmann, uho@informatik.uni-kiel.de Heinz Knutzen, hk@informatik.uni-kiel.de Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet zu Kiel, Institut fuer Informatik und Praktische Mathematik Preusserstr. 1-9 D-24105 Kiel, Germany ----------------------------------------------------------------- (*) This work was supported by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT) within the joint project APPLY.
