While I try to make
jonathan
work in Allegro CL, I found there's a problem with Allegro CL'svariable-information
function. In the documentation it says the 3rd return value ofvariable-information
should be an alist, however, it's a proper list instead of alist. So for example, if there's a dummy function like this:then if I issue
(test-str "LISP")
in the REPL, it will report an error because the functionVARIABLE-TYPE
actually returns((SIMPLE-ARRAY CHARACTER (*)))
instead of(SIMPLE-ARRAY CHARACTER (*))
.I guess it may be a bug of Allegro CL itself, I will also send an email to Allegro Support later.
