(IF (NOT (IGNORE-ERRORS ..))). E.g.
(defun foo1i ()
(if (not (ignore-errors
- (make-pathname :host "foo" :directory "!bla" :name "bar")))
+ (make-pathname :host "foo"
+ :directory "!bla"
+ :name "bar")))
(print "ok")
(error "notunlessnot")))
The (NOT (IGNORE-ERRORS ..)) form evaluates to T, so this should be
error message stays the same (even BACKTRACE doesn't tell you what the
bad argument value is).
+194: "no error from (THE REAL '(1 2 3)) in some cases"
+ (Actually this entry is probably two separate bugs, as
+ Alexey Dejneka commented on sbcl-devel 2002-09-03:)
+ I don't think that placing these two bugs in one entry is
+ a good idea: they have different explanations. The second
+ (min 1 nil) is caused by flushing of unused code--IDENTITY
+ can do nothing with it. So it is really bug 122. The first
+ (min nil) is due to M-V-PROG1: substituting a continuation
+ for the result, it forgets about type assertion. The purpose
+ of IDENTITY is to save the restricted continuation from
+ inaccurate transformations.
+ In sbcl-0.7.7.9,
+ (multiple-value-prog1 (progn (the real '(1 2 3))))
+ returns (1 2 3) instead of signalling an error. Also in sbcl-0.7.7.9,
+ a more complicated instance of this bug kept
+ (IGNORE-ERRORS (MIN '(1 2 3))) from returning NIL as it should when
+ the MIN source transform expanded to (THE REAL '(1 2 3)), because
+ (IGNORE-ERRORS (THE REAL '(1 2 3))) returns (1 2 3).
+ Alexey Dejneka pointed out that
+ (IGNORE-ERRORS (IDENTITY (THE REAL '(1 2 3)))) works as it should.
+ (IGNORE-ERRORS (VALUES (THE REAL '(1 2 3)))) also works as it should.
+ Perhaps this is another case of VALUES type intersections behaving
+ in non-useful ways?
+ When I (WHN) tried to use the VALUES trick to work around this bug
+ in the MIN source transform, it didn't work for
+ (assert (null (ignore-errors (min 1 #(1 2 3)))))
+ Hand-expanding the source transform, I get
+ (assert (null (ignore-errors
+ (let ((arg1 1)
+ (arg2 (identity (the real #(1 2 3)))))
+ (if (< arg1 arg2) arg1 arg2)))))
+ which fails (i.e. the assertion fails, because the IGNORE-ERRORS
+ doesn't report MIN signalling a type error). At the REPL
+ (null (ignore-errors
+ (let ((arg1 1)
+ (arg2 (identity (the real #(1 2 3)))))
+ (if (< arg1 arg2) arg1 arg2))))
+ => T
+ but when this expression is used as the body of (DEFUN FOO () ...)
+ then (FOO)=>NIL.
+
+195: "confusing reporting of not-a-REAL TYPE-ERRORs from THE REAL"
+ In sbcl-0.7.7.10, (THE REAL #(1 2 3)) signals a type error which
+ prints as "This is not a (OR SINGLE-FLOAT DOUBLE-FLOAT RATIONAL)".
+ The (OR SINGLE-FLOAT DOUBLE-FLOAT RATIONAL) representation of
+ REAL is unnecessarily confusing, especially since it relies on
+ internal implementation knowledge that even with SHORT-FLOAT
+ and LONG-FLOAT left out of the union, this type is equal to REAL.
+ So it'd be better just to say "This is not a REAL".
+
+196: "confusing error message for unREAL second arg to ATAN"
+ (reported by Alexey Dejneka sbcl-devel 2002-09-04)
+ In sbcl-0.7.7.11,
+ * (atan 1 #c(1 2))
+ debugger invoked on condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR:
+ Argument X is not a NUMBER: #C(1 2)
+ (The actual type problem is that argument Y is not a REAL.)
