Ahoy, I added some sugar on top of defgeneric/defmethod: definterface defines the generic function. It keeps track of which ones have been defined, so they can be audited. It also can have body forms which become a NO-SUCH-METHOD default. defimplementation defines the backend method. It updates the list of implemented interfaces. swank-loader finishes by printing a list of all unimplemented interfaces. (A nod to Peter for suggesting this.) I updated cmucl/sbcl/lispworks/openmcl. However, I wasn't able to test OpenMCL because of another incompatibility: Read error between positions 12276 and 12727 in /Users/luke/slime/swank-openmcl.lisp.
Error in process listener(1): There is no package named "PPC32" .
Possibly because it's running on a 64-bit machine (G5)? Updating the other backends should just be a matter of selective search-and-replace from defmethod to defimplementation. However, since it's the same thing under the hood, it still works without being updated. Cheers, Luke
