[cl-objc-devel] cl-objc-leopard patch and NSString bug?

[Leigh Smith]

I notice cl-objc devel has been very quiet recently, I assume the  
project hasn't been superseded by another bridge?

Looking back through the archives, I note that the protocol bug on  
10.5 has been fixed and checked into cl-objc-leopard. That's great,  
except most developers wanting to access the code for the most recent  
version of MacOS X need to look in a different repository (cl-objc- 
leopard). Can I suggest we reverse the order so that the primary  
repository is for Leopard and the branch is for Tiger? Perhaps a new  
version should be released?

There's a very small typo in cffi, that I've attached the patch for,  
below.

Also, there seems to be a problem handling NSStrings, executing the  
following, crashes sbcl 1.0.24-i86:

(in-package :cl-objc)
(setf pool (invoke 'ns-autorelease-pool alloc))
(invoke pool init)
(import-framework "Foundation")
(setf my-string (invoke 'ns-string alloc))
(invoke my-string :init-with-utf8-string "blah blah")
(invoke my-string utf8-string) ; This produces the following error  
message:

* 2009-02-15 00:24:04.234 sbcl[1000:613] Did you forget to nest alloc  
and init?
2009-02-15 00:24:04.235 sbcl[1000:613] *** Terminating app due to  
uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -length  
only defined for abstract class.  Define -[NSPlaceholderString length]!'
2009-02-15 00:24:04.236 sbcl[1000:613] Stack: (

(segfaults sbcl)

To begin tracking this down, can I verify if someone else has the same  
error? It seems the NSPlaceholderString has no real NSString to refer  
to?
