comparing types for equality
Is there a standard way to test if two types are equal? For example, in ECL, (upgraded-array-element-type '(signed-byte 64)) SI:INTEGER64 but it turns out that the two are just synonyms. Currently, I am testing for that using (defun type= (type1 type2) "Test if two types are equal (ie subtypes of ea... 19 May 2010 06:03

upgraded array element types - please send me output
Hi everyone, Soon I will undertake a rewrite of my LLA library (which is a LAPACK layer for Lisp, with lots of nice semantic sugar). The rewrite should be row-major (instead of column-major, LAPACK handles both just fine), and use mostly CL arrays.
