#391: "bad place for a wild pathname" on EXT:PROBE-DIRECTORY for NAME containing #* -----------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: mevenson | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 1.3.3 Component: interpreter | Version: Keywords: cl:probe-file ext:probe-directory | Parent Tickets: -----------------------------------------------+------------------------ John Pallister on #abcl reported problems with configuring ASDF via {{{ (asdf:initialize-source-registry '(:source-registry (:tree (:home "src/synchromesh")) :inherit-configuration))}}} for which he later traced down to problems with a pathname NAME containing a #* character:
{{{ <synchromesh> Ooh, that's interesting - EXTENSIONS:PROBE-DIRECTORY has found a filename in the specified directory tree that contains a "*". <synchromesh> Then (much deeper) org.armedbear.lisp.probe_file$pf_probe_directory.execute(probe_file.java:88) throws the error. }}}
The exact error cases here still needs to be determined.
TBD: What does it mean to PROBE-{DIRECTORY,FILE} on a PATHNAME containing #*?

Comment (by mevenson):
From discussion in #lisp, it seems that PROBE-FILE cannot accept pathname designators which contain wildcards, so the #* character should be treated as a literal #* in our PROBE-{FILE,DIRECTORY} implementations.

Comment (by mevenson):
Replying to [comment:1 mevenson]:
From discussion in #lisp, it seems that PROBE-FILE cannot accept
pathname designators which contain wildcards, so the #* character should be treated as a literal #* in our PROBE-{FILE,DIRECTORY} implementations.
The problem lies in that ABCL "overloads" the meaning of #* characters in PATHNAME objects as both designating a wildcard for a string of zero or more characters, as well as a literal #* object.
Surveying alisp, sbcl, and ccl reveal different strategies for dealing with this.
For alisp, #p"foo*" is not WILD-PATHNAME-P true.
sbcl replaces pathnames with wildcards with explicit objects
{{{ CL-USER> (describe #p"/tmp/foo*") #P"/tmp/foo*" [structure-object]
Slots with :INSTANCE allocation: HOST = #<SB-IMPL::UNIX-HOST {1000FDEC23}> DEVICE = NIL DIRECTORY = (:ABSOLUTE "tmp") NAME = #<SB-IMPL::PATTERN "foo" :MULTI-CHAR-WILD> TYPE = NIL VERSION = :NEWEST ; No value }}}
Lots of factors to consider here. Need to summarize issues more succinctly.

Comment:
Directory entries with asterisk characters no longer cause errors. Ambiguities remain for what an asterisk character means for various parts of our CL:PATHNAME implementation

Comment:
Apparently not addressed.
Recipe for failure.
1) Create a file with asterisk characters in a directory that ASDF will search
2) Attempt to load Quicklisp
