Re: [Gcl-devel] (ANSI) Added some string-related tests

[Camm Maguire]

Hi Paul!  Thanks for this work!

If you have the time, it would be helpful if you could summarize and
categorize the issues as you discover them.  I can usually figure out
what's wrong by playing with the test and reading up on the spec, but
this takes some considerable time for each bug given my unfamiliarity
with the language.  Even more time consuming, I usually go through
several iterations of a fix as I reread the spec and notice details I
had overlooked at first.  It might be more time efficient if someone
like yourself who probably has the spec memorized could state the
problems tersely.  Anyway, just if you have time.


With my commits last night, the current list is:

42 out of 2594 total tests failed: MAP-STRING.31, MAP-STRING.32, 
STRUCTURE-1-13, STRUCTURE-1-14, 
   STRUCTURE-1-15, BOOLEAN-TYPE-1, BOOLEAN-TYPE-2, BOOLEAN-TYPE-3, 
   TYPES-3, TYPES-5, TYPES-6, TYPES-8, TYPES-9, TYPES-9A, 
   READ-SYMBOL-8, READ-SYMBOL-10, CHAR.3, CHAR.4, CHAR.6, CHAR.7, 
   CHAR.8, CHAR.9, CHAR.10, SCHAR.4, SCHAR.5, SCHAR.6, SCHAR.7, 
   STRING.7, BASE-STRING.1, BASE-STRING.2, BASE-STRING.3, 
   BASE-STRING.4, SIMPLE-STRING.5, SIMPLE-BASE-STRING.1,

   SIMPLE-BASE-STRING.5, SIMPLE-BASE-STRING.6, SIMPLE-BASE-STRING.7, 
   SIMPLE-STRING-P.5, STRINGP.4.
Finished loading gclload.lsp

I was looking at the CHAR problems.  I'm trying to wrap my mind around
how one can setf to the output of char -- is char supposed to return a
character or a pointer?

Take care,
