Hi Hans, the problem we've spoken of yesterday on irc (recursive lock attempt warning on sbcl using bknr datastore) proved to be trivial to solve
- there is a primitive in sb-thread for exactly this case. I have
not tested it extensively yet, but it appears to work. The patch is attached.
Could you please elaborate on the problem? What happens with the datastore in SBCL without the patch?
FWIW, being unable to load some third-party libraries supplied with bknr (mainly cxml and unit-test), I ditched thirdparty altogether, installed all the newest versions of whatever bknr-indices and bknr-datastore depend on, and both seem to work.
Some time ago I wrote a patch that dumped cxml for the purpose of using cmucl-19d. Hans, do you think we can apply (some modified version of) it?
Best regards,
