On the one hand, compatibility +means application portabilitiy, which is nice. On the other hand, using +the same package names and reader macros as Clozure CL's bridge makes it +hard to have both loaded at the same time. + +Then again, if someone wants to compare Objective-CL with Clozure CL's +bridge side-by-side, it's their responsibility to rename packages as +needed. Reader macros aren't essential for using Objective-CL, so they +may be left disabled in such a case, anyway. I'm going to try hard to +use Objective-CL-specific package names within my code +(i.e. OBJECTIVE-C-CLASSES rather than NS), so renaming packages won't +break things. + +I'll be opting for direct API compatibility for now. It seems to be the +right choice. + + * 2008-01-29, 21:34:16 CET In the Objective-C 2.0 runtime, the functions diff --git a/Lisp/clozure-compat.lisp b/Lisp/clozure-compat.lisp deleted file mode 100644 index 8d6e2ea..0000000 --- a/Lisp/clozure-compat.lisp +++ /dev/null @@ -1,25 +0,0 @@ -;;;; Objective-CL, an Objective-C bridge for Common Lisp. -;;;; Copyright (C) 2007 Matthias Andreas Benkard. -;;;; -;;;; This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or -;;;; modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License -;;;; as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of -;;;; the License, or (at your option) any later version. -;;;; -;;;; This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but -;;;; WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -;;;; MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
