Hi,
I think I have uncovered an error in the way CMUCL handles lexically scoped
variables. For example, in the following code:
(defun foo (x)
#'(lambda (y)
(+ x y)))
The binding of x in the lambda from should be to the argument supplied to foo.
A call to foo should return a function that simply adds its argument to the
argument supplied to foo. For example, the call:
(funcall (foo 4) 5)
should return 9.
However, if *_before_* defining the function foo, I define a special variable x,
like:
(setf x '(1 2))
And then define foo as above, on running (funcall (foo 4) 5), I get the error:
Argument X is not a NUMBER: (1 2).
Restarts:
0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.
Debug (type H for help)
(KERNEL:TWO-ARG-+ (1 2) 5)
I don't get the same error if I declare the special variable x after defining
foo.
Anyone have any clue about whats going on?
Thanks,
Sachin.
