To load hyperluminal-db with quicklisp version of hyperluminal-mem it needs to change package dependencies from hyperluminal-ffi to hyperluminal-mem-ffi in db/package.lisp and some fixes in db/store.lisp at least.
Just try to load it and you'll see errors.

Is there any hint to overcome this issue?

Hyperluminal-DB uses a (supposedly) clever trick in order to overcome Intel claims that hardware memory transactions (specifically, Intel TSX) cannot perform input/output.

The result is that Hyperluminal-DB is able to perform transactional input/output while running hardware memory transactions - an apparent paradox - in an extremely specific but significant case: reading and writing memory-mapped files.

Could you go into more detail about the 'clever trick' you discovered that allows TSX to perform input/output?

Hi,

proceeded as described using sbcl 2.0.1 on ubuntu 20.04.

The output of hyperluminal test is:

Didn't run anything...huh?

???????

Hello. When I run the test suit as shown in readme, hyperluminal-mem and stmx pass all the tests. However, hyperluminal-db says:

CL-USER> (asdf:test-system :hyperluminal-db)
To load "hyperluminal-db-test":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    hyperluminal-db-test
; Loading "hyperluminal-db-test"


Running test suite SUITE
 Didn't run anything...huh?

Is there something wrong with its test? My OS is ubuntu 16.04 x64. And Lisp implementation is SBCL 1.3.1 x64.
Thanks.
