[Gcl-devel] funcall bug (not ansi !! Yay)

[Peter Wood]

Hi

Here's a refreshingly non-ansi bug.  It exists on CVS GCL (downloaded
now), and 2.4.3.  Two examples:

>(funcall #'eval '(+ 1 1))

=>#<compiled-function EVAL>

>(mapcar #'eval '((+ 1 1) (funcall #'eval '(+ 1 1))))

=>(2 #<compiled-function EVAL>)


Weird, huh?

I 'fixed' it with the appended patch. DISCLAIMER: the fix is so
obvious there has to be something wrong with it too.  The line I
changed goes all the way back to KCL!?

Does anyone have any notes or documentation for the internal types:
t_afun, t_sfun, etc?  Or just knowledge they would share with the list?

Regards,
Peter
