Custom Query (1030 matches)

At times, our application QRes has the following error message:

There is no applicable method for the generic function:

<Compiled-function CCL::%%ONE-ARG-DCODE #x3000002039CF>

when called with arguments:

(NIL)

The backtrace subsequently reveals that there was an actual bug in our application relating to a calling a one-argument generic function with an invalid value. However, the name of said generic function was lost in this error message.

Can CCL somehow improve its error message by revealing the name of the user function that got optimized into a CCL::%%ONE-ARG-DCODE ?

The manual doesn't say it does, but native-translated-namestring merges its argument with *default-pathname-defaults*, which does nothing when the default value of #p"" is used, but can yield interesting results in other cases. This behavior is not mentioned in the manual: ​http://ccl.clozure.com/manual/chapter4.6.html

Personally, I'd consider that a bug, for merging is not what I'd expect from this function. However, maybe you have a different idea and this behavior is what you desire - in which case I consider that a bug in the documentation, for that is very surprising (to me at least).

My workaround is to bind *default-pathname-defaults* to #p"" around my call to native-translated-namestring.

I just spent half an hour writing a detailed bug report. When I clicked "preview", the website told me I didn't have write permissions because I wasn't logged in. I had logged in earlier, but my login somehow timed out because of dubious "security" settings. Now the form is reset and my bug report is lost.

I'm pissed.

Can you fix your interface so that it (1) won't log me out so fast, and (2) won't drop my painfully written bug report.
