Slime Developers,
There appears to be a problem with Slime’s evaluation of
multi-dimensional array literals in some buffers.
Evaluation of 1-dimensional array literals does not trigger
this problem.
1. At the Slime REPL, no error:
CL-USER> #(1 2 3)
#(1 2 3)
CL-USER> #2A((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
#2A((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
2. Using the Slime command ‘slime-interactive-eval’, no error:
M-x slime-interactive-eval
Slime Eval: #(1 2 3)
=> #(1 2 3)
M-x slime-interactive-eval
Slime Eval: #2A((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
=> #2A((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
However, if these array literals are evaluated in the
*slime-scratch* buffer using C-x C-e (bound to
‘slime-eval-last-expression’), then the 1-D array literal is
evaluated as expected, while the 2-D array literal triggers
an error.
3. *slime-scratch* buffer (or any Lisp buffer associated
with a Lisp source file):
#(x y z)
=> #(x y z)
#2A((1 2) (3 4))
=>
Execution of a form compiled with errors.
Form:
((1 2) (3 4))
Compile-time error:
illegal function call
[Condition of type SB-INT:COMPILED-PROGRAM-ERROR]
Note that if the multi-dimensional array literal is
marked in an Emacs buffer and the command
‘slime-eval-region’ is invoked, then the evaluation does not
not trigger the error, above.
This problem is occurring with slime 2.30, Emacs 29.4,
and SBCL 2.3.11.
