[Asdf-devel] :AROUND methods
by Robert P. Goldman 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Trying to identify what's breaking my system in the syntax-case branch, I found a bunch of around methods in ASDF. IIRC once upon a time we had removed all the :AROUND methods on exported generic functions, on the grounds that they could unpredictably interact with programmers' extensions. I think we experimented with using a bespoke method combination method to allow ourselves to have our own around methods and "arounder" methods for programmers. Even more vaguely, I think I remember that the method-combination extension didn't work reliably on all implementations, so it was stripped out. But I thought when that happened, we tried to excise the use of method combination in ASDF. Am I hallucinating this? I'd be grateful to anyone whose memory of this stuff is better. thanks, r

[Asdf-devel] New draft of design document pushed
by Robert P. Goldman 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

It's still at an interim state, but I think it's getting to the point where it will be generally useful. I did a bunch of minor reformatting, and took a several of your responses and translated them into the main thread, removing the back-and-forth: I don't think the discussion is as valuable as a clear statement of the design. I have a big, sloppy mess of a system involving at least one additional readtable, that breaks under the syntax-control branch. That's going to be my test case for forcing myself to understand this. Best, r

To ease understanding of changes, I've merged master into syntax-control, and pushed the result. Please LMK if there are any issues with this. The resulting branch passes all the regression tests (haven't tested updates). cheers, r
