Flycheck: Common Lisp support?

[ahungry]

Hi all,

Has there ever been consideration to implement Common Lisp support for flycheck?

Is it simply a case of needing a proper CLI linter? (I assume the emacs-lisp linter would not be repurposable for the CL use case).

What would be involved in incorporating something like https://github.com/fukamachi/sblint has a default CL checker?

We'd love to get a CL checker! The ELisp one wouldn't do, but sblint would work just fine. Most common lisp compiler could probably be used, too.

Adding a checker is very easy; see http://www.flycheck.org/en/latest/developer/developing.html#adding-a-syntax-checker-to-flycheck . Wanna give it a go?

Thanks, I'll try to look into it further - I'm running into some small issues with how sblint handles the code (it isn't quite a source file analyzer, it relies on loading systems as a side-effect - I have an open ticket with the author/repo, but not sure if its being actively maintained).

Any news on this?
