Tools to convert lisp code to assembly language-CodePudding

I have a lisp function. Is it possible to convert it to assembly language?

(defun isprime (num &optional (d (- num 1))) 
  (if (/= num 1) (or (= d 1)
      (and (/= (rem num d) 0)
           (is-prime  num (- d 1)))) ()))

The above code I want to convert it to assembly language. I am not sure if linux or windows have any tools to do it?

CodePudding user response：

Why do you want to do that?

If you want to study how Lisp compilation works, just use disassemble:

(disassemble 'isprime)

If you want to compile the code for future use, then use compile-file.

Not as it currently stands. It has both isprime and is-prime. Correcting the second one to isprime, I can compile and run the isprime function. I also added a 'main' function, which does this:

(defun main ()
   (format t "Prime test on 23 is ~A" (isprime 23)))

I saved the whole thing in TestCompile.lisp

I am using Portacle / Windows to run SBCL / SLIME. I can compile a function by left clicking to put the cursor in the function, and then using C-c C-c. I can compile the whole file using C-c C-k, creating a FASL file.

From the REPL, I can now run (main)

CL-USER> (main)
Prime test on 23 is T
NIL

Finally, I decide that I want to create an executable. From PowerShell in the folder that contains the LISP source code:

sbcl
(load "TestCompile.lisp")
(sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die "prime.exe" :toplevel #'main :executable t)

./prime.exe

The executable is not compressed on Windows, and includes the compiler. It can be compressed manually using zip or similar.
