over the Internet, and is mostly in the public domain.
Here is a summary of its main features:
*
support for
**static arrays**
that are never moved by GC but are
properly removed when no longer referenced.
*
**Unicode**
support, including many of the most common external
formats such as UTF-8 and support for handling Unix, DOS, and
Mac end-of-line schemes.
*
native
**double-double floats**
including complex double-double
floats and specialized arrays for double-double floats and and
complex double-double floats that give approximately 106 bits
(32 digits) of precision.
*
a
**sophisticated native-code compiler**
which is capable of
powerful type inferences, and generates code competitive in
speed with C compilers.
*
**generational garbage collection**
on all supported
architectures.
*
**multiprocessing capability**
on the x86 ports.
*
a foreign function interface which allows interfacing with C code
and system libraries, including shared libraries on most platforms,
and direct access to Unix system calls.
*
support for interprocess communication and remote procedure calls.
*
an implementation of CLOS, the
[
Common Lisp Object
System
](
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp_Object_System
)
,
which includes multimethods and a metaobject protocol.
*
a graphical source-level debugger using a Motif interface, and a
code profiler.
*
an interface to the X11 Window System (CLX), and a sophisticated
graphical widget library (
[
Garnet
](
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~garnet/
)
,
available separately).
*
programmer-extensible input and output streams (
[
Gray
Streams
](
http://www.nhplace.com/kent/CL/Issues/stream-definition-by-user.html
)
and
[
simple-streams
](
http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/streams.htm
)
).
*
an Emacs-like editor,
[
Hemlock
](
http://cmucl.org/hemlock/index.html
)
, implemented in
Common Lisp.
*
**freely redistributable**
: free, with full source code (most of
which is in the public domain) and no strings attached (and no
warranty). Like the GNU/Linux and
*
BSD operating systems, CMUCL is
maintained and improved by a team of volunteers collaborating over
the Internet.
