Follow-up Comment #5, bug #25525 (project guile): Ok, I did an attempt to make an acceptable fix to this.
The problem was that in <class> the name slot order of the layout changed due to the new slot again called name. This cassed lookup code that assumes a fixed layout to fetch the wrong values due to a shift of the layout. The added fix will, at class creation, verify if the class is deducing <class>. If so and there is an attempt to add a new slot named already defined by <class>, an error will be signaled, see result below, scheme@(guile-user)> (define-class <test-class> (<class>) name) ERROR: In procedure %compute-slots: ERROR: In procedure init-object: a predefined <class> inherrited field cannot be redefined Entering a new prompt. Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue. scheme@(guile-user) [1]> A patch includeing some solidification of the code by making sure a pair is used where it is assumed it does is added as well. See goopsdiff diff below.
