Well I found another way of solving my issue without the need for a 'SELF and never asked further...

Peter

No, just checking how the generated Makefile looks like. It is an old habit of me to use 'vim' for every tiny task. My bad.

Peter

Can you try using configure-alt, and then type make? This 'configure-alt' works fine. peter@solarstriker:~/installation/newlisp-10.1.1$ ./configure-alt Detected Operating System LINUX Detected memory model LP64, using memory model LP64 UTF-8 is enabled readline support is disabled To enable readlin...

The only thing you have to do is removing all '-m32' entries.

With the 64bit newLisp

newLISP v.10.1.1 64-bit on Linux IPv4, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

my computer gets this result:

1124 ms on a 2.2Ghz AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor
performance ratio: 0.5 (1.0 on Mac OS X, 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

The Makefile for 64bit Linux 'makefile_linuxLP64' seems to have a problem... below an changed version so it works with my 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 Linux. # makefile for newLISP 64bit v.10.x.x on 64 bit LINUX tested on Intel Core Duo 2 # # Note, that readline support may require different libraries on diffe...

If this is compiled Basic, then it looks pretty good for newLISP. It is compiled BASIC all right and indeed, newLisp runs very well!! But still comparing compiled vs dynamic languages is comparing apples and oranges. In this case, I am particularly interested in newLisp versus any compiled language...

So let me give an example. This compiled BASIC program runs for 10 seconds adding 0.0001 to a variable. DECLARE t TYPE double t = 0 start = SECOND(NOW) end = start + 10 WHILE SECOND(NOW) NE end DO t = t + 0.0001 WEND PRINT "Result is: ", t END Now, the equivalent of such a BASIC program in newLisp i...

Go tease some sheep, you compleat fan! ;-) But the idea is not so difficult? Suppose we check the (add) statement. Let's run a newLisp program continuously adding 0.1 starting from 0, and let's run that program for 5 minutes. Now, let's do the same thing in another language. After those 5 minutes, w...

And you change the hardware it is running on, or only the OS and it puts the results on its head. I am running all benchmarks on the same system in the same OS. Running this under Linux on the same CPU completely changes the picture. Some functions suddenly perform double as fast or slow. Good rema...

OK my question was not specific enough. :-)

So let me rephrase: what would be the best portable code, if possible a one-liner, to benchmark the performance of newLisp?

The idea is to compare the performance of newLisp with other languages.

newLisp guru's,

What would be the best code, if possible one-liner, to benchmark the performance of newLisp?

Peter

OK. Now let's do the same in newLisp: Looks less code to me... ;-)

I'm surprised there is no Debian or Ubuntu package for gtk-server. Well, me too ;-) But I have access to Ubuntu nowadays, I can make a package if you like. For newLisp this is not needed anymore, because with GTK2 you can import the functions on the fly. Not sure if it works for all functions thoug...

Well the answer maybe here: http://www.isotton.com/devel/docs/C++-dlopen-mini-HOWTO/C++-dlopen-mini-HOWTO.html It is a lot of work though, adding 'EXTERN C' to your relevant functions ;-) Well crap, C++ is kind of a hype anyway. For small applications you're looking at, it's really useless. Do you k...

Annoying. Please let me know if I can help.

You didn't leave the door open...?

Peter

If you are talking about libraries created with C++, then this is impossible.

http://www.isotton.com/devel/docs/C++-d ... HOWTO.html

Except when the C++ source uses 'extern C'. But then you have to be lucky!

Hm, the /tmp probably is from VIM, it always tries to store some hidden file to keep track of the changes. Funny about the "< NAME" change, because it used to be like that; just recently I changed it to "< name" with small letters! Maybe it should search both capital and small. Thanks for your feedb...

I like your help function, but I couldn't get it to work! What platform are you using? For me it works in MacOSX and Linux. As I do not have Win32 it may fail in there. Also, the online help only prints the first 1000 characters or until the next keyword, whatever comes first. Anyway I'll check you...

You can also compile your newLisp interpreter with the '-mwindows' compile option. Then there will be no DOS box.

So in 'makefile_mingw' add this to the CFLAGS line:

CFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -Wno-long-long -c -O1 -g -DWIN_32 -mwindows

But it's a Win32 problem only, of course.

Regards

Oops my bad, that should be libglib-2.0-0.dll.

So: (import "libglib-2.0-0.dll" "g_malloc").

I updated the program, can you check again?

Regards

Yes, good news: tables and treeviews are really easy in GTK... ;-)



The code is here:

http://www.turtle.dds.nl/newlisp/tables.lsp

Should run on MacOSX, Unix/Linux/BSD and Win32.

Peter

Great idea, thanks!

BTW I have written some macros for newLisp and VIM, including an online help. You can find it here:

For those of you who are still not convinced, a newLisp program directly with GTK.

Should run on MacOSX, Linux/Unix and Win32 without changes.

Well I can shed some light on this. The other day (january 1) somebody contacted me with problems on the FreeGLUT stuff. I replied that I did not had time yet to update it to newLisp10; from his mail I could see things went wrong with (nth-set), which is obsolete with newLisp10. In the meantime I ha...
