#482: LOADing .abcl file with *READ-BASE* bound fails ----------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: etimmons | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: minor Milestone: | Component: other Version: 1.8.1-dev | Keywords: Parent Tickets: | ----------------------------+-------------------- Full disclosure: I don't have any code actually affected by this. I just ran into it while trying to better figure out #481.

Test procedure:

{{{ (defvar *file-name* "file-2")

(defun write-test-file (num) (let ((pn (merge-pathnames *file-name* (make-pathname :type "lisp")))) (with-open-file (f pn :direction :output :if-exists :supersede) (prin1 `(defun test () ,num) f)) pn))

(let ((pn (write-test-file 10)) (*read-base* 2)) (load (compile-file pn)))

(assert (= (test) 2) nil "Got ~D, expected 2" (test)) }}}

Results in:

{{{ The variable |43| is unbound. [Condition of type UNBOUND-VARIABLE]

Restarts: 0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request. 1: [*ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level. 2: [ABORT] Abort thread.

Backtrace: 0: (INVOKE-DEBUGGER #<UNBOUND-VARIABLE |43| {6545B09F}>) 1: (SYSTEM::%LOAD #P"/tmp/abcl/file-2.abcl" NIL NIL T :DEFAULT) 2: (LOAD #P"/tmp/abcl/file-2.abcl") 3: (SYSTEM::%LOAD #P"/tmp/abcl/file-1.lisp" NIL NIL T :DEFAULT) 4: (LOAD "file-1.lisp") 5: (SYSTEM::%EVAL (LOAD "file-1.lisp")) 6: (EVAL (LOAD "file-1.lisp")) }}}

Looks like it's choking on the literal number in the SYS:INIT-FASL form in {{{__loader__._}}}
