Just a minute ago, I committed Mark Evenson's work on DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION (long form) [short: D-M-C]. It's a port to ABCL of the D-M-C implementation found in XCL which derives from Sacla. That being the case, I expect the implementation to be little tested. Which can definitely be said of the port. However, some testing with a few self-made tests didn't turn up many problems. However, SBCL has a series of tests for D-M-C. It would be nice if we could port those to ABCL too in an effort to smoke out any issues our D-M-C implementation may have. I smoked out the first one already that way: there was a quote missing is a function which returns a part of a method combination form. Compile times just longer once again - however, there should be no measurable impact for any code which doesn't use the long form of D-M-C itself. Serious request: help smoke out problems! Test! Fix! The sooner we get good confidence in the implementation, the sooner we can release 0.23! Bye, Erik.
