[armedbear-devel] Wrong symbol after loading fasl

[James M. Lawrence]

    (defpackage :foo (:use :cl))
    (in-package :foo)

    (defvar *data* nil)

    (defpackage :bar (:use :cl))
    (in-package :bar)

    (eval-when (:compile-toplevel)
      (import 'foo::*data*))

    (setf *data* 99)

Compile this, restart ABCL, and load the fasl. foo::*data* is NIL and
bar::*data* is 99.

It's possible the code is somehow nonconforming, however it sure seems
that foo::*data* should be written and later loaded, which is the
behavior of other Lisps.

The issue is also exhibited with

    (compile-file "test.lisp")
    (delete-package :foo)
    (delete-package :bar)
    (load "test.abcl")
