[Gcl-devel] eval-when 'defaults'

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  Paul, from my brief reading of the spec, it would appear
that the default behavior for top level forms in a file being
compiled would be as if they were surrounded by an (eval-when
(:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)...).  Is this right? 

Witness the following comment in gcl_cmptop.lsp:

;; this default will be as close to the the decision of the x3j13 committee
;; as I can make it.   Valid values of *eval-when-defaults* are
;; a sublist of '(compile eval load)
(defvar *eval-when-defaults* :defaults)

And in cmpnew/gcl_cmpinit.lsp:

(setq compiler::*eval-when-defaults* '(compile eval load))

Take care,
