#926 fixed Some users have difficulty understanding the error that occurs when declarations are encountered in contexts where they aren't allowed Gary Byers Francois-Rene Rideau
Description

Dan Weinreb 2009-01-05 13:49:46 EST

(defun foo (a)
  (declare (fixnum a))
  (+ a a))

works fine.

(defmacro bad () '(declare (fixnum a)))
(defun foo (a) (bad) (+ a a))

gets a compile-time error, because macros are not allowed to expand into declarations.

However, the text of the error message is:

DECLARE not expected in (DECLARE (FIXNUM A)).

That's pretty unclear.

#927 fixed If a symbol-macrolet defines the same symbol twice, the compiler should complain Francois-Rene Rideau
Description

Dan Weinreb 2009-01-09 10:59:52 EST We had trouble in a place where a macro of ours expanded into a symbol-macrolet with several clauses, two of which defined the very same symbol. See our Buzilla

http://svn.internal.itasoftware.com/trac/changeset/238504

I don't actually see anywhere in the HyperSpec that says this is illegal, although it also does not say what it would do (which symbol "wins"?).

SBCL flags it as an error.

For the time being, Fare has fixed that macro to check for that error manually.

#928 fixed DEFINE-CONDITION allows non-condition parent conditions Francois-Rene Rideau
Description

Ethan H. Schwartz 2009-04-14 11:24:20 EDT

On DEFINE-CONDITION, The CLHS says: parent-type---a symbol naming a condition type. If no parent-types are supplied, the parent-types default to (condition).

With CCL Version 1.3-dev-r11854-working-0711 (LinuxX8664):

(defclass a () ()) #<STANDARD-CLASS A>

(define-condition foo (a) ()) FOO

(error 'foo) #<STANDARD-CLASS FOO> is not a condition class

It would be better if CCL complained at time of compilation of the condition that the parent-type argument is not a condition type.
