Hello again,

I have joined the mailing list, and also seen Mark Evenson's reply
It is encouraging that he can load Vecto.

A few more details on my environment and more probing results

Implementation details:

CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-version)
"1.4.0"
"Java_HotSpot(TM)_Client_VM-Oracle_Corporation-1.7.0_51-b13"
"x86-Windows_8-6.2"

Does the above look OK?  Version wise, it is close to what Mark has, except that he has
JDK, and I have Java_HotSpot.

ASDF Version:

I was wondering if the issue had to do with ASDF's looking for libraries and files, i.e., whether
I was hit by an ASDF bug.  So I installed the latest ASDF moving from 3.1.7, to 3.1.7.43, 
(which is a release candidate for asdf 3.2)

The stack overflow remains.

Manual loading of dependencies (libraries and files):

I verified that I can manually load all the libraries vecto depends on, and also manually 
compile and load all of its component files.

Isolate bug by dividing up the ASDF file:

To investigate further, I started commenting out parts of Vecto's asdf file.  As long as the components 
list is empty, asdf will load Vecto.
(asdf:defsystem #:vecto
  :depends-on (#:cl-vectors
               #:zpng
               #:zpb-ttf)
  :version "1.4.10"
  :author "Zach Beane <xach@xach.com>"
  :description "Create vector graphics in PNG files."
  :license "BSD"
  :components ())

But adding a file to the components list will cause stack overflow.  For example
this will cause stack overflow:

(asdf:defsystem #:vecto
  :depends-on (#:cl-vectors
               #:zpng
               #:zpb-ttf)
  :version "1.4.10"
  :author "Zach Beane <xach@xach.com>"
  :description "Create vector graphics in PNG files."
  :license "BSD"
  :components ((:file "package")))

Hello,

I have installed ABCL 1.4 on Windows 10 and Java 1.7.

When loading some libraries, I get a stack overflow error.

For example loading vecto fails

vecto passes the cl-test-grid on linux (see

I did a bit more probing to try and isolate the cause of the overflow:
  • ASDF file manually loads and compiles
  • I could manually load all the pre-requisite libraries
  • I could manually compile and load all the lisp files
Looking at the error message in frame 8 (see below), the cause may be 
in the slime/swank interaction with abcl.

I may take this up at the slime mailing list.
