As the following code and transcript demonstrate,
translate-logical-pathname appears to be downcasing paths
inconsistently:
;;; test.cl
(setf (logical-pathname-translations "foo")
'(("foo:bar;*.lisp" "/FooRoot/bar/*.lisp")
("foo:*.lisp" "/FooRoot/*.lisp")))
;;; In the following pathname translation, the entire path is downcased
(pprint (translate-logical-pathname "foo:bar;foobar.lisp"))
;;; In each of the next two, the entire path EXCEPT for the host is
downcased --
;;; the host is unchanged
(pprint (translate-logical-pathname "foo:foobar.lisp"))
(pprint (translate-logical-pathname "foo:Foobar.lisp"))

#180: stack overflow with lparallel
---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
Reporter: mevenson | Owner: mevenson
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: unscheduled
Component: other | Version: 1.0

---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
With the [http://lparallel.com very interesting lparallel library], ABCL
can get into some stack overflow situations (especially on newer JVM
implementations).
Also, I get the feeling that the BORDEAUX-THREADS mapping for ABCL is not
optimal, as when I run LPARALLEL full out on a many worker kernel, I don't
maximize the actual available CPU/RAM on a multicore x64 system.

#169: Conformance with section 3.2.4.4 (externalized objects in COMPILE-FILE)

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Currently, if the same object is encountered in multiple forms being
compiled, that object is externalized on each encounter.
The spec requires that identical objects in the source be identical in the
compiled file as per the first sentence of
[http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/03_bdd.htm section
3.2.4.4].
As a consequence, we'll need an ''object table'' of some kind, allowing
the object to be referenced further down in the file compilation.

I'm on a linux system on a ext3 file system. The customary case is
lower case (case significant on this particular file system, but
99.999% of the files on unix are lower case).
Therefore I would expect to get #P"test.lisp"
Notice that:
(make-pathname :name "test" :type "lisp" :case :common)
should produce #P"TEST.LISP"
and that:
(make-pathname :name "Test" :type "Lisp" :case :common)
should produce #P"Test.Lisp"

I should mention that I use routinely logical pathnames, and they work
very well, on all implementations that conformantly implement them.
That means that all my logical pathnames are always upcase letters, and
no special symbols (apart from an occasional dash).
I understand that using implementation dependant syntax (special
characters, lower-case, mixed-case) in logical pathnames can lead to
surprises, but I avoid them.
Now, it's not a question of extinct file systems. You still have to
deal with at least two different major syntaxes: POSIX and
MS-Windows/MS-DOS.
I just cannot use in programs that will have to run on both Linux or
MacOSX and MS-Windows physical pathname literals, because they don't use
the same syntax.
On the other hand, #P"HOME:SRC;LISP;EXAMPLE.LISP"
can be translated to either
#P"C:\\Users Files\\Pascal\\src\\lisp\\example.lisp" or
#P"/home/pjb/src/lisp/example.lisp"
portably on these targets.
The point for an implementation is to know what it's targets are, and to
implement proper behavior when translating and merging logical
pathnames. You must be careful when merging logical pathnames with
physical pathnames, notably when it's done in make-pathname: the :case
parameter must have effect only on the new strings, not on the :defaults
parameter.

Does Java provide its own file system, or does it map to the host file
system?
Notice that logical pathnames don't have to be able to represent all the
physical pathnames, without an explicit translation.
If you have a file system that is case sensitive, then you may write:
(setf (logical-pathname-translations "APP")
(list
(list #P"APP:EXAMPLE;FILE.LISP"
#P"/MyApp/Example/File.lisp")
(list #P"APP:EXAMPLE;ANOTHER-FILE.LISP"
#P"/MyApp/Example/AnotherFile.lisp")
(list #P"APP:EXAMPLE;*.DATA"
#P"/MyApp/Example/*.appdata")
(list #P"APP:EXAMPLE;SOME-MODULE.*"
#P"/MyApp/Example/SomeBigModule.*")
(list #P"APP:APP.CONFIGURATION" #P"/MyApp/.config")
(list #P"APP:CUSTOMARY;**;*" #P"/MyApp;**;*")
(list #P"APP:CUSTOMARY;**;*.*" #P"/MyApp;**;*.*")))
to be able to access to files with strange physical names.
The question indeed is to decide what is the customary case. You can
choose uppercase or you can choose lowercase. This matters only for
file systems that are case sensitive, but even file systems that are not
case sensitive, such as MS-DOS, have a prefered way to display the
names.

That would be good.

Yes.

This is also a good option.

#197: JAR-PATHNAME errors and ambiguities

Why am I not getting any errors (and not dropping into a debugger)? I
know the error is because the device is not a list of a pathname ie
missing a #P.
2. What's printed out is not what was read in (trailing /)
{{{
CL-USER> #P"jar:file:c:/a/b.jar!/cl-ppcre/"
#P"jar:file:c:/a/b.jar!/cl-ppcre"
}}}
3. Should this repeated jar:file:jar:file thing throw an error?
{{{
#P"jar:file:jar:file:c:/a/b.jar!/cl-ppcre/"
==> #P"jar:file:jar:file:c:/a/b.jar!/cl-ppcre"

The above leads to possible failure: each upgraded element type has its
own associated defaultInitialValue. If the code does not specify the right
initial value, NIL is taken, which probably is not a good fit.
