ELisp Implementation?

ELisp Implementation?

[Noah Lavine]

Hello,

Guile's Summer of Code project this summer was an implementation of
Emacs Lisp. I am curious - what is happening with that? Is it
progressing?

I follow the list, but haven't heard anything since the decision on
which project we wanted.

It is! Here's a quick summary of what I've worked on so far:

* Buffer-local variable support
* Condition handling, property lists, other new subrs
* Variable and function aliases
* Emacs-compatible lexbind
* Compatibility fixes
* Most subrs and macros are now written in Elisp
* Emacs with libgc (it works, but leaks memory)

You can view some of this work in the git repo, branch `bt/master':

  git://git.hcoop.net/git/bpt/guile.git

amike,
BT

Woow, quite an impressive list!

Two questions:

  - Could you keep a copy of your elisp work in a branch on Savannah
    (improves availability and visibility)?

  - Where can we get the Emacs-on-Guile to play with it?  :-)

Ĝis,

I (finally) looked at merging this in to stable-2.0 yesterday.  It
looked great; there were a couple of conflicts due to subsequent
development, but nothing serious.  However after merging, I saw some
elisp tests failing.  Perhaps I did the merge wrongly?  Would you mind
taking a look at it?

Thanks, and again, apologies for not merging this sooner!
