Hi, I have been exploring using snapshot-set in my application, and noticed a couple of issues.
First, snapshot set doesn't compile under SBCL since the cache initform includes (make-hash-table :weak-keys t) and SBCL doesn't recognize the :weak-keys argument. This is easily enough fixed (in the short term) by commenting this out; in the long term it may be useful to use trivial-garbage for weak hash-tables. Second, after hacking snapshot-set into my application, and following a pause of about 30 seconds, debugger invoked on a SB-KERNEL::CONTROL-STACK-EXHAUSTED: Control stack exhausted (no more space for function call frames). This is probably due to heavily nested or infinitely recursive function calls, or a tail call that SBCL cannot or has not optimized away. This is on a data set of roughly 2000 objects. The data consists of a hash-table from symbols to hash-tables, which map integers to instances of a custom metaclass. The data contains circular references. (I don't know how complete snapshot-set is, so I don't know if any of these are potentially problematic.) I would include the backtrace except it is over 30,000 calls long. I can give the code that calls snapshot-set if that would be helpful. Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
