Helu, here is an unpolished test case to show the problem:
-=-=- (defmacro frob-keyvals-string (string) (with-input-from-string (stream string) `(progn ,@(loop for key = (let ((x (read stream nil stream))) (if (eq x stream) (loop-finish) x)) for val = (read stream) for comment = (read stream) collect (list 'defvar key (list 'quote val) (string comment))))))
(frob-keyvals-string " foo fooval foocomment bar barval barcomment car carval carcomment")
This is caused by the macro expansion of defvar when the localization support was added. Previously, we had (macroexpand '(defvar abc nil "abc")) -> (PROGN (DECLAIM (SPECIAL ABC)) (UNLESS (BOUNDP 'ABC) (SETQ ABC NIL)) (SETF (DOCUMENTATION 'ABC 'VARIABLE) '"abc") (LISP::SET-DEFVAR-SOURCE-LOCATION 'ABC (C::SOURCE-LOCATION)) 'ABC) We now have: (PROGN (DECLAIM (SPECIAL ABC)) (UNLESS (BOUNDP 'ABC) (SETQ ABC NIL)) (SETF (DOCUMENTATION 'ABC 'VARIABLE) '"abc") (EVAL-WHEN (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :EXECUTE) (SETF (INFO VARIABLE INTL:TEXTDOMAIN 'ABC) NIL)) (LISP::SET-DEFVAR-SOURCE-LOCATION 'ABC (C::SOURCE-LOCATION)) 'ABC) I do not understand it, but that (setf info) causes the problem. When that is removed, cmucl behaves as it used to. I don't understand why that would cause the macro to be compiled again. Ray
