Re: Lisp Garbage Collection

I was talking with a fellow engineer at work about why CMUCL and SBCL
have not been fully ported to Windows. He mentioned that it is
difficult to port most Lisp implementations because of difference
between the Linux and Windows memory models and how they are used for
garbage collection.

I wouldn't claim to be an expert in Windows programming, but my
understanding is that the difference in memory models is far from the
difficult bit in a port of a Unixoid Lisp implementation to Windows;
exception/signal handling seems harder to deal with. That said, I
also dispute your premise; both SBCL and CMUCL have been "fully"
ported to windows, and though it is likely that bugs remain in the
port you can test this for yourself in the case of SBCL.
