[armedbear-devel] Compilation bug in LET/LET* init-form

[Mark Evenson]

There seems to be a bug around the compilation of illegal LET/LET* init 
forms with an extra set of parentheses.

The form

   (defun f () (let ((x ((1))))) 42)

when placed in a file, and compiled gives a error on loading the file 
that it can't find the '.cls' associated with this function.  Looking at 
the FASL shows that the '.cls' is zero length.

The compiler should signal an error when compiling the form rather than 
writing the malformed FASL.  Presumably this is a failure to recognize 
that the compilation of the the LET init form has failed somewhere in 
the compiler.
