Appendix A Supported Platforms

Clon is an ASDF 3 library. It currently works on Unix (including MacOS X) and Windows (Cygwin or MinGW) and has been ported to 8 Common Lisp implementations. It requires editor-hints.named-readtables. The following table lists the supported platforms and some additional, platform-dependent dependencies.

A.1 CLISP, Allegro and LispWorks specificities

As mentioned in the above table, CLISP, Allegro and LispWorks dependency on cffi is optional. They need cffi in order to implement terminal autodetection only (note that many other implementations come with their own foreign function interface). If cffi cannot be found when the ASDF system is loaded (or in the case of CLISP, if it has been compiled without ffi support), you get a big red blinking light and a warning but that’s all. Clon will still work, although in restricted mode.

A.2 ABCL specificities

Clon’s ABCL port currently has two limitations:
