My lisp code is generates a simple lambda expression that I then pass to the (compile) function. If the lambda expression is big enough (e.g. 1.6 megabytes), lisp throws the following error:
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I guess CCL has a limit on how big an individual function it will compile. Is that limit something I can change? I don’t have an obvious way to break the lambda expression into multiple smaller ones. </div>

<div class="">Here, FYI, is a snippet of the kind of lambda expression I’m generating. It’s just one giant nested if statement with a bunch of inequalities:</div>
