[slime-devel] ABCL patches for SLIME HEAD

[Mark Evenson]

Attach please find a patch that allows SLIME HEAD to work with ABCL.

This patch

o  does not attempt to automatically compile the files in the SLIME 
'contrib' directory, as ABCL never returns when asked to compile 
'contrib/swank-arglists.lisp'

o  allows the use of slime-compile-and-load-file (C-c C-k) by patching 
the definition of COMPILER-CONDITION with explicit NILs, and does a load 
time creation of a COMPILER-CONDITION to get the MOP discriminating 
functions initialized correctly

Both these patches should really be addressed within the ABCL itself, 
but I haven't had the time to figure out these problems to the depth 
needed for understanding how to fix them.  Patching SLIME to get around 
these problems at the present moment would at least stop people from 
complaining "SLIME is broken for ABCL", but I leave that decision up to 
the ruling SLIME-heads. . .
