hi I was inspecting code of rebuild-slot-indices and it looks like it has a problem with inherited indices (although it is not easy to reproduce it).
rebuild-slot-index drops index first. With inherited indices it tries to drop an index but fails (because it looks for index for this class rather than super class), so index is dropped only once (in the base class which has this inherited index). But (I think) this works correctly only if base class's index is rebuild before subclass index. Otherwise index already populated with some entries will be dropped and so some instances will be lost. E.g. if foo is base class which defines inherited slot/index bar and quux is subclass of foo it works correctly if foo is rebuilt before quux. So I think we need to sort classes (topologically) in known-classes function to make sure that order is correct. Or am I missing something? _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
