Seems to recover from stack overflow about the same as GCL. (good!)
I assume the test suite runs OK, and a simple plot worked as well.
How about speed?...
showtime:all;
x:0;
g(n):= for i from 1 thru n do x:x+1;
g(100000) takes 2.18 seconds on CCL
0.87 seconds on GCL
on some multivariate polynomial arithmetic, CCL seems to be about 2.5 times
slower.
on integrate(x^14*sin(x),x) CCL is about 3 times slower.
Perhaps the compiler optimization settings are not equivalent?
This test doesn't show CCL's superiority, just equivalence [but slower].
This would not matter except for people writing papers comparing speeds
of computer algebra systems.
