We have developed a Lisp system based on Common Lisp on a main-frame computer. It is called HiLlSP which is the acronym of Hitachi's interactive Lisp Processor or High speed Lisp. We have designed L-code as an abstract Lisp machine code that is used both for the interpreter and the compiler. The HiLISP interpreter executes heavy Common Lisp features such as lexical scope and multiple values efficiently. The HiLISP compiler optimizes compiled code by employing several optimization techniques such as program transformations type inferences and local optimizations. HiLISP system also provides a full screen editor and a full-fledged debugger. The most notable extension to Common Lisp is the Japanese character set handling feature. Based on our prototype implementation a software product called VOS3 Lisp was developed and delivered as the first commercial Common Lisp system in Japan. HiLISP has been used for many applications such as diagnostic expert system for LSI process logic design system layout CAD natural language processing system and so on. Based on the HiLISP system an object oriented system and an interactive program transformation system have been also developed.We have developed a Lisp system based on Common Lisp on a main-frame computer.
