Hi, MODULE-PROVIDE-ASDF used CONSTANTLY in HANDLER-BIND to define a handler. IIUC, this merely delegates error handling further, so it is more or less dead code. Is this intentional?
Dear Sam,
MODULE-PROVIDE-ASDF used CONSTANTLY in HANDLER-BIND to define a handler. IIUC, this merely delegates error handling further, so it is more or less dead code. Is this intentional?
If I understand this piece of code correctly, this handler-bind entry is there because a MISSING-COMPONENT is an error, yet one you want to exclude from the handling by the next handler, for error, below. I suppose an alternative solution would have been to put a (unless (typep e 'missing-component) ...) around the body of the next handler.
