(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.

[NB: was ITA bug 52936]

When I load my code, it seems to break lisp-to-objc-message:

1 > (ccl::compute-lisp-to-objc-message '(:INIT-WITH-FRAME))

"initWithFrame:" 1 > (ccl::lisp-to-objc-message '(:INIT-WITH-FRAME))

"initWithFrame" ; <--- no colon! 1 >

However, apart from importing/exporting this symbol (and others from objc and ccl) to my own oclo package, I don't touch it and don't redefine it, nor any other symbol from ccl or objc. From the source or the disassembly, I can't understand how it's possible to get this result.

I provide all my code, and ccl-bug-p--*.txt files giving the *inferior-lisp* and *slime-repl-ccl* buffers.

I'm working on a reader macro to read an Objective-C -like syntax.

Sometimes the IDE gets in a state where cmd-L doesn't switch to the listener, it doesn't do anything. Unfortunately I don't know how to reproduce it. Few things I noticed

• When this happens, it's stable. I.e. you can keep hitting cmd-L and it keeps not working - it's not some flaky intermittent thing. However, something about switching windows or something like that makes it come back, and then it keeps working.

• I'm about 90% sure that even when cmd-L doesn't work, I am able to select the Listener menu item in the windows menu and that works.
