Use a portability library for mmap #1

Open phoe opened 3 years ago

phoe commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/Shinmera/mmap should work across all Lisp implementations supported by CFFI and on all platforms that expose either the Windows or POSIX API.

Well, yes - obviously :) I was just too lazy to sort that initially. A few of the libraries here seriously need to use the portable things - the MOP being another obvious example. I need to just check something. There's an oddity with the mapped array being offset by one somewhere, so I need to make sure I handle it. Thanks for the pointer. Do you happen to know whether Shinmera/mmap happily mmaps as unsigned 64 bit words?

(if people are interested I'd quite like to get this library to the stage where it's actually possible for other people to use it)
