ECL when asked for a truename of a broken symbolic link signalled an `file-error'. This isn't non-conformity, because spec doesn't specify such situation, but lead to annoying errors with DIRECTORIES when even irrelevant files were broken symlinks. New behavior is as follows - broken symlinks are treated as regular files (of :LINK kind) and no error is signalled. They aren't ignored due to a few corner cases related to PROBE-FILE, OPEN and such. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kochmański <daniel@turtleware.eu> |

ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.
The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a Lisp to C compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone executables from Lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library. It also features an interpreter for situations when a C compiler isn't available.
ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows (MSVC, MinGW and Cygwin) and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, ARM and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.
