Re: module system / (oop goops) / :duplicates (merge-generics) / bug?

[David Pirotte]

Hi Andy,
Ludovic,

Any news about the following problem I reported ? I am kindly pinging you both, 
as
it is very difficult to [smoothly] work with goops until this problem is solved 
- unless, on
purpose, you do not give identical names to any slot pertaining to different 
classes,
but this is kind of a 'nightmare' in a 'real world'.

Thanks,
David

I think I did put a finger on some deeper problem! At first, as it is still is 
not
working here in a more 'complex environment', I did build a slightly modified
version using gtk but not yet 'realizing' the widgets [attached].

It seemed it worked on one machine but not on the other. Suspecting a 'strange'
collateral effect on whether I did or not put (default-duplicate-binding-handler
'(merge-generics replace warn-override-core warn last)) in my init.scm file, 
using
or not the #:duplicates ... in mg-wgtk-3.scm and, couple of hours later, almost 
ready
to knock my head on the wall while just trying to simply produce a reproducable
'something' for you. :), than I spotted it!

        it only works the first time! then guile compiles and caches the .go 
files
        but does something 'different' in memory [I guess]

        the second time, it load the .go and fails to dispatch

Here is a track on the 'latest' version [by number at least]:

In a terminal:
[I first remove the *.go concerned files [the location will depend off course 
...]

address@hidden:~/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-4-2.0/usr/local/share/guile/alto/2.0/tests
 6 $ rm -f *.go
address@hidden:~/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-4-2.0/usr/local/share/guile/alto/2.0/tests
 7 $ ll

In my emacs:
