Go for it. > +;;; 47: (2003-11-30) Static variables were rearranged in 0.8.6.11. Ulp. That one was mine, and it didn't even occur to me it'd break fasls. I guess if I were smart I'd have reused the now-deleted *session-lock* offset for the new function, but it seemed to make more sense to put it with the other functions. It's astonishing just how much information there is in a fasl file that should make it portable to a wide range of places and yet just how easy it is to break fasl compatibility unthinkingly. Maybe I should do some cmucl hacking and hope that facing bootstrapping issues would lead me to acquire a proper respect for binary compatibility -dan -- http://web.metacircles.com/ - Open Source software development and support |
