Dear James,
i have reformulated the test cases and run them through several implementations.[0]
Thanks a lot!
1. i had thought (eg. [1]) that abcl and asdf were compatible. is there some special version involved? the cl.net release failed to load.[2]
Oh my, the asdf:around fiasco again. ABCL apparently uses an old version of ASDF to avoid a lot DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION.
Couldn't we instead just have a do-perform function do the wrapping stuff and call perform gf, and skip that method-combination complication?
Is there a good reason to use this method-combination protocol? Does anyone rely on either defining asdf:around methods or on calling perform directly and having it do the restart magic?
A lot of people use the Stale Fasl recipe at http://www.cliki.net/asdf which was the reason that prompted introducing the custom method combination. Long form of D-M-C is in the works for ABCL from what I know. -T.
