[alexandria-devel] asdf:load-op failed with LispWorks 4.3.7

[Frank Buss]

Hi,

on my Windows Vista system, with LispWorks 4.3.7, the ASDF hangs when trying
to load the Alexandria library. I've debugged it and the reason is this line
in macros.lisp:

((cons symbol (cons string-designator null))

I don't understand the details, but I assume something like this was really
meant:

((cons symbol (cons string-designator nil))

At least this with this line it loads and compiles without errors. Maybe
someone can test the function of the macro, if it still works with this
change and change it in the repository.

Is there any reason why not using simply "list" instead of "cons" twice?

Regards,

Frank
