#485: Non-congruent generic method signatures cannot be eval'd -------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: Mark Evenson | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Milestone: 1.8.1 | Component: interpreter Version: 1.8.1-dev | Keywords: Parent Tickets: | -------------------------------+------------------------- https://irclog.tymoon.eu/freenode/%23abcl?from=1611187078 {{{ 0:12:54 emaczen Is there a setting I can change in ABCL to not care if a method definition does not have all the keyword arguments as another method? 0:13:14 emaczen does not accept all of the keyword arguments defined for the generic function -- This is the ABCL error I am getting 0:13:42 emaczen SBCL and CCL do not care 0:30:42 charles` Is that only for keyword arguments, because SBCL definitely cares if I have different # of parameters for same method name 1:19:18 robertm Maybe you could use &allow-other-keys ? (Just a guess.) 1:53:50 etimmons emaczen: Based on your description and some quick tests I'm guessing you're implicitly defining the generic function with defmethod. Try using an explicit defgeneric. 1:57:24 etimmons It does appear there's a bug in how defmethod defines the lambda list of the implicit defgeneric https://plaster.tymoon.eu/view/2247#2247 2:00:37 etimmons If (fboundp function-name) is nil, a generic function is created [...] the lambda list of the generic function will mention ..... key (but no keyword arguments) }}}
Eval'ing non-congruent forms fails with a {{{simple-error}}} but compiling seems to work.
