The most notable change applies to the file fixup.lsp. Functions destined to
be generic are converted to their final version.
Previously this conversion was done in a few steps in order to avoid issues
with infinite recursion in dispatch. We achieve this by assigning to these new
generic function a simplified discriminating function:
(lamda (&rest args)
(unless (or (null *clos-booted*)
(specializers-match-p args specializers))
(apply #'no-applicable-method generic-function args))
(apply old-function args))
The old function is also seeded as a primary method for the generic
function. This works correctly because functions have only one method so we
may directly call it (it is also a fine optimization strategy we do not
incorporate generally yet), and because the discriminating function will be
recomputed when other methods are added etc.
This way we may use these generic functions without issues directly with newly
redefined versions and the file is now ordered as follows:
- fixup early methods
- redefine functions to their final version
- convert functions to generics
- define missing methods
- implement the dependant maintenance protocol
After this file is loaded it is possible to use generic functions as usual.

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.
