Hi. This code fragment works with (LOAD "/tmp/foo.lisp") but not (COMPILE-FILE "/tmp/foo.lisp")

(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute) (defvar *count* 0) (macrolet ((something (sym) `(setf (get ,sym 'uniqueid) (incf *count*)))) (defun register-it (x) (something x)))) (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :execute) (format t "~&OK so far~%") (register-it :foo)) (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :execute) (format t "~&Got ~D~%" (symbol-plist :foo)))
