After upgrading to latest CVS version, after doing "load-system" that produces compiler notes in multiple files, SLIME displays in XREF window, correctly showing the files and the corresponding compiler notes, but clicking on compiler notes does not go to any location.

M-x describe-text-properties shows slime-location property as :location

The cause seems to be that (slime-xrefs-for-notes) produces the xref list in the form of

(GROUP (NOTE1 :location (:file whatever)) (NOTE2 :location (:file whatever)))

but (slime-insert-x refs) eventually expects the the elements to be (LABEL LOCATION) e.g. (LABEL1 (:location (:file whatever)))

The following fix to slime.el seems to fix it:

(defun slime-xrefs-for-notes (notes) (let ((xrefs)) (dolist (note notes) (let* ((location (getf note :location)) (fn (cadr (assq :file (cdr location)))) (file (assoc fn xrefs)) (node (cons (format "%s: %s" (getf note :severity) (slime-one-line-ify (getf note :message))) (list location)))) ;; FIX (when fn (if file (push node (cdr file)) (setf xrefs (acons fn (list node) xrefs)))))) xrefs))
