[LispM] ASDF 3.2.1 Anyone?

Thu Aug 31 01:37:56 PDT 2017

Dear Fare,

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I print the initargs when the error happens at compile time?

Dear Steve,

I can't help you if you fail to act on my suggestions. I'll repeat them.

"1- can you identify what initargs are being passed? Modify the asdf.lisp source code around that error string to also show the initargs and the class of the operation in the error message and/or get a backtrace.

2- which version of the LOOP macro you use depends on which dialect/syntax is active when you load. Are you using the ANSI-Common-Lisp syntax? Are there patches to apply to Genera so its LOOP macro will be fully compliant at long last?"

For 1, PLEASE MODIFY ASDF TO SHOW THE INITARGS IN THE ERROR MESSAGE.

For 2, PLEASE USE WHATEVER INTROSPECTION FUNCTION GENERA HAS to print the current syntax in an EVAL-WHEN, and check whether it is indeed the same when you compile with one error and when you load with another error.

If you fail to act on debugging suggestions, perhaps it's vain trying to make suggestions to you.

Still no luck. I thought I’d upgrade Genera before going any further, but that didn’t solve anything (I really didn’t think it would, but wanted to eliminate that possibility). 

It looks like the failure is in load-op, being called with an argument of (clos-internals:storage-area 8). At the end of this message there is a detailed stack trace, with all arguments. According to the documentation:

“clos-internals:storage-area, which specifies the area in which to create the instance. The value should be an area number. The default is sys:default-cons-area”

Loading, as opposed to compiling, as I’m doing here, should be with ANSI-COMMON-LISP, since that’s in the attribution line. I’ll experiment with loading next, after a few passes at solving things here. The entire detailed stack trace is:

PS The compiler throws up a few warnings that might be of interest, not to this problem, but overall code quality:

I admit I haven't tried Genera since ASDF 3.1.6 or so, so some adverse changes may have been introduced since.

1- can you identify what initargs are being passed? Modify the asdf.lisp source code around that error string to also show the initargs and the class of the operation in the error message and/or get a backtrace.

2- which version of the LOOP macro you use depends on which dialect/syntax is active when you load. Are you using the ANSI-Common-Lisp syntax? Are there patches to apply to Genera so its LOOP macro will be fully compliant at long last?

Gents,

I’m trying to get ASDF working on Genera. The ASDF webpage <https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/>  claims that it should ‘just work’, and I see that there was a recent change so the file has a proper attribute line <https://bugs.launchpad.net/asdf/+bug/1517223> , but I’m not getting a clean compile. Below is the result of an attempt to compile from zmacs:

Interestingly, loading gives me a different error:

Does anyone have a version that compiles cleanly so that I can load it from lispm-init.lisp?

Regards,

*         Steve
