I tried that, but it won't work. Tim, is there a way to trace what's happening?

Note that both $ALDORROOT and $AXIOM were set correctly. In other words, the
link above produced a directory "compiler" in "axiom/mnt/linux", containing the
following directories of Aldor: bin/ doc/ include/ lib/ src/ tests/

Sorry, my mistake. Only lsp files. By the way, there i *lots* of stuff in the
directories under /lsp/ccl/src, some look like they could be really useful...

Tim: could you rename them to .pamphlet and correct the \usepackage line in
each one of them? Thanks!

Yes indeed! (I found that there was only one line you had to comment out?)

Who could this be? It would be just wonderful to get this working!

Thanks a million times,

ln -s $ALDORROOT $AXIOM/compiler may help here.  fixing i-syscmd.boot to
produce a nice error would be nice, I guess.

The significant bit is removing an unbound variable from as.boot, the
rest is to fix the )co command (obviously not bullet proof), and the .ap
file generation.  

In terms of aldor internal knowledge, you don't need that much, the hard
work is on the axiom side. The trick is to load all the aldor runtime
env interpreted and see what breaks (this includes daase.lisp, as.clisp
& interop.clisp, plus the aldor .lsp files).  This stuff used to vaguely
work, so putting it back in shape can't be too bad.  



additional information --Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:26:40 -0600

I just tried another example, which is in fact the reason why I would love to
have Aldor working. I did not expect it to work, and it does not, but it works
*almost*. The code is as follows:

#include "axiom"

Test: with { f: (n: PositiveInteger) -> PrimeField(n) } 
   == add { f(n: PositiveInteger): PrimeField(n) == 
              10::Integer::PrimeField(n) }

Note that such a construction -- the resulting domain depending on the function
parameter -- is currently illegal in Axiom. In Aldor it is fine.

I compiled it with Aldor as usual, and then loaded it into Axiom. As signature
I got the slightly unusual

(1) -> )di op f

There is one unexposed function called f :
   [1] PositiveInteger -> PrimeField n from Test

and trying it out I obtained

(1) -> f(5)$Test
   Loading /home/rubey/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/PF.o for domain 
      PrimeField 
   Loading /home/rubey/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/IPF.o for domain 
      InnerPrimeField 
   Loading /home/rubey/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/TABLE.o for domain Table
      
   Loading /home/rubey/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/HASHTBL.o for domain 
      HashTable 
   Loading /home/rubey/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/INTABL.o for domain 
      InnerTable 
   Loading /home/rubey/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/ZMOD.o for domain 
      IntegerMod 

 
   >> System error:
   |n| is not of type NUMBER.

protected-symbol-warn called with (NIL)

which is roughly what I expected. However, to my great surprise, if you turn on
the debugger (beforehand. You always have to start a fresh axiom because of the
error I told you about in my previous message) with

)lisp (setq |$monitorNewWorld| t)

and thus trace

(1) -> f(1783)$Test

the final bit reads

protected-symbol-warn called with (NIL)..IntegerMod 1783 wants
   positiveRemainder : (%,%) -> % from  Integer
---->Integer----> searching op table for:
   positiveRemainder : (%,%) -> % from  Integer
<----#<compiled-function |INT;positiveRemainder;3$;28|> Integer
goget stuffing slot 47 of IntegerMod 1783
<------#<compiled-function |INT;positiveRemainder;3$;28|> Integer

PrimeField n activating lazy slot 8: Integer
PrimeField n activating lazy slot 9: IntegerPrimesPackage Integer

..PrimeField n wants
   prime? : Integer -> Boolean from  IntegerPrimesPackage Integer
---->IntegerPrimesPackage Integer----> searching op table for:
   prime? : Integer -> Boolean from  IntegerPrimesPackage Integer
<----#<compiled-function |PRIMES;prime?;IB;4|>(IntegerPrimesPackage,Integer)
goget stuffing slot 10 of PrimeField n
<------#<compiled-function |PRIMES;prime?;IB;4|>(IntegerPrimesPackage,Integer)
 

which clearly tells you, that the calculation is done alright, only the
signature interferes with success.

Any ideas?

this is just great stuff -- nearly... I had to try it out right away, but I
experienced two problems.

the minor one is, that )co inside axiom still does not work:

Never mind.

Unfortunately, there is a more severe issue. I put the following simple domain
in a file "test.as" and compiled it using 

aldor -O -Fasy -Fao -Flsp -laxiom -Mno-AXL_W_WillObsolete -DAxiom test.as

without any problem. There is only the warning

#1 (Warning) Deprecated message prefix: use `ALDOR_' instead of `_AXL'

but I suspect that this is of no importance.

:-(

I am already very very happy, but another patch and/or explanation would
greatly improve this...

By the way, could you explain what your patches are doing? It's just a mystery
to me! I suspect that one needs some knowledge of Aldor internals?





additional info --Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:30:49 -0600

I've been playing with the aldor/axiom stuff a little, and the following
patch may help get things going(I used to work on it, and thought it'd
be fun to get it going again).

There are further problems:
- aldor "extend" does not work - it ought to, I think
- The algebra defined in libaxiom.al is not current, and for it to be
rebuilt various .as files need to be available to the build process
(axextend.as and friends) - any reason why they're left out of the
distribution?
- exported attributes from aldor domains are explicitly killed off by
this patch (it's probably easy to fix, just no time atm).
- Only tested the most trivial domains I could find.  

Peter.

Final bits and pieces --kratt6, Thu, 10 Feb 2005 06:12:04 -0600

Dear Tim! 

I saw that you integrated Peters patches for Aldor support from within
Axiom. However, some issues remain:

* You forgot to integrate his patch for foam_l.lisp.pamphlet which Peter sent
  to axiom-developer. Hence, calling a function compiled with Aldor twice in
  Axiom fails.

* You did not rename the files in
  axiom--main--1--patch-30/lsp/ccl/src/axbase/compiler/lib/ 
  to have the pamphlet extension. Also, they say 

  \usepackage{../../../../../src/scripts/tex/axiom}

  but should say

  \usepackage{../../../../../../src/scripts/tex/axiom}

  (it would be even better to say just \usepackage{axiom} and let configure set
  the TEXINPUTS variable correspondingly, I guess.)

  among these files, runtime.lsp and axextend.lsp should be compiled and

* when axiom is installed, be copied into the directory

  ~/axiom/mnt/linux/compiler/lib

  Also, 

  ~/axiom/mnt/linux/compiler/bin

  should contain a link to the aldor compiler. The best thing is probably to
  include the file axiomxl as follows:

#!/bin/sh
#
# A script to ease the pain of migration.
echo "           ************************************************"
echo "           *** axiomxl is obsolete: use 'aldor' instead ***"
echo "           ************************************************"
echo ""
aldor $*

  Finally, the axiom.as file is missing from the distribution and should be
  copied to an appropriate place when Axiom gets installed. Don't know where
  this would be, however. It seems that aldor expects it in its include
  directory...

Martin
