Re: [Gcl-devel] Compiling GCL

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  OK, yor tests run with the following patch.  For now, don't
use safe mode, which is *much* slower and less tested.  There is a gcl
safe mode bug you have uncovered which we can later trace down, but your
code is very complicated and it needs to be isolated.  Also, use nil in
place of :unspecific for undefined types as with ecl.

There are some condition related failures reported by the tests -- I'm
happy to fix these, but please, boil it down to a standard lisp form or
two which is not complying with the spec.  This way we can both work
much faster.

I did a little looking re: the safe mode failure, and it involves this
form in pathname.lisp:

            (setf components (remove-if #'(lambda (x) (member x '("" ".") :test 
#'equal))
                                        components))

When I compile this separately in safe mode I cannot trigger the
failure.

Take care,
