[cl-prevalence-devel] Patches to serialization

[Sven Van Caekenberghe]

Hi all,

The following patches were applied to serialization in CVS (not yet the 
release):

1

bugfix: serialization of an empty string is <string></string> but
deserialization of that XML construct was NIL which is not a string
we now return an empty string in that case
thanks to randall randall

2

added serializable-slots implementation for sbcl
thanks to Anthony W. Juckel

3

added code to deal with unbound slots when serializing (noted by 
anthony juckel)
and code to deal with missing slots when deserializing

4

added reset-class-slots

5

now testing xml and sexp serialization seperately, added empty string 
test
thanks to randall randall
