Greetings, and sorry for the burst of traffic of late. Looking for a little advice here -- there are now two places where we intern proxy symbols to hold related functions --
1) "setf" functions, (i.e. (defun (setf foo) ...), which is indexed by a symbol stored in the 'si::setf-function property of 'foo. and 2) the automatic state function conversion for mutually recursive functions, not yet in production but hopefully to be automated soon. (i.e. the takr example discussed previously). The main issue requiring the interned symbol is that I don't see a way to use an uninterned symbol to name the function, define it, compile it, and then load it into the held uninterned symbol. The function name must be read from the data file, so the symbol will never match unless it is interned. THe problem with this, of course, is that when one redefines the functions, the old interned symbol will hold on the the old code in the gc. Is there a better way, or must I find a way to unintern the proxy symbols on function redefinition? Take care, -- Camm Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================================================================== "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." -- Baha'u'llah _______________________________________________ Gcl-devel mailing list Gcl-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
