New test: I updated all dists with quicklisp which reinstalled cl-ppcre and slime. I started a fresh emacs and Slime (9/2013) and ran the following test1.lisp (using asdf:load-system instead of require).
;; (require "cl-ppcre") (asdf:load-system "cl-ppcre") (describe 'cl-ppcre:regex-apropos)
After compiling the fresh cl-ppcre code it ran and gave me the following:
; compiling file "/home/jcunningham/slime/test1.lisp" (written 30 OCT 2013 01:10:24 PM):
; /home/jcunningham/slime/test1.fasl written ; compilation finished in 0:00:00.003 CL-PPCRE:REGEX-APROPOS [symbol]
REGEX-APROPOS names a compiled function: Lambda-list: (REGEX &OPTIONAL PACKAGES &KEY (CASE-INSENSITIVE T)) Derived type: (FUNCTION (T &OPTIONAL T &KEY (:CASE-INSENSITIVE T)) (VALUES &OPTIONAL)) Documentation: Similar to the standard function APROPOS but returns a list of all symbols which match the regular expression REGEX. If CASE-INSENSITIVE is true and REGEX isn't already a scanner, a case-insensitive scanner is used. *Source file: /home/jcunningham/slime/test1.lisp** *
Now it's switched its "source" for cl-ppcre to the test file.
