Ralf, That is probably a good thing! :) Omitted for brevity. Please refer to: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxAldorSemantics You are right, this example has only to do with inheritance (Other
Hi Tim, I don't know about the Aldor compiler, since I have no access. (I assume you speak of the one from cvs.aldor.org.) If you mean cvs.aldor.org, then it might be that May 16 2004 is a bit late.
I'm beginning to agree that everything that can be in Aldor should be, for two reasons: a) It's more self contained - e.g. the parts that involve being compatible with anything except Axiom/Aldor are
Ralf, Thanks for continuing your discussion on the list. I hope my comments below further the discussion and do not appear overly "final". I admit that thinking deeply and correctly about Aldor's (an
No problem - I definitely don't have experience with implementing compilers, and I have no desire at all to be "irresponsible". But from my perspective (which may or may not be accurate) we are being
Hello Bill, Thank you for your comments, but I don't seem to agree with everything. Let's keep this programm since I'll refer to its output. --BEGIN aaa.as import from String, TextWriter, Character;
Second that! Agree there, unfortunately. As soon as we decide definitely on Aldor either due to its finally being released or updating/modernizing our own SPAD code to become a new Aldor implementati
[...] For me, that is the most annoying point. I would hate to see Aldor and Axiom's internal language diverge in very incompatible way -- the only benefit I can see is fracturing further the communi
Peter, In the case of \begin{axiom} sections, what MathAction does is generate a .input or .spad file for each section and then calls Axiom just once using stdin to pass )read or )compile commands fo
-20060621.tgz&it=Axiom+with+Aldor+binary My guess is that the version of gcl from which Axiom+Aldor was produced does not specify the appropriate gcc option (-m32 ?) to ensure that the object file th
It would be difficult for me to find good and motivated students sufficiently fluent in Lisp :-) But, I get your point. If, we have a new compiler, it would be engineered so that it solves problems e
Thanks for the draft. I think it is very good. I have inserted a few explanations below. I will leave it up to you exactly how to modify the text. Axiom was actually developed as an IBM research proj
Dear Camm, Cliff, *, thank you for responding. It seems that my post went ignored on comp.lang.lisp -- except by you, folks :-) -- so maybe I have to "augment" my strategy. Details follow below, alon
This would work, I think (and the problem with .ao files goes away), although a page wouldn't be able to redefine an operator. The only compiler output will be error messages from the compiler; If yo
Peter, I would like to install your aldor patches on the MathAction Website. My idea is to be able to include Aldor source files on MathAtion something like this \begin{aldor} Aldor code \end{aldor}
