[elephant-devel] initialize-instance and deserialize

[Sean Ross]

Hi all,
 I've currently run into a problem using Elephant 0.9.1 and Lispworks
5.0.2 with the bdb backend.

 I have a user class on which I perform various initializations  using
initialize-instance, unfortunately
 my initialize instance method is being called when the instance is
deserialised.

 Now while I can manually check whether the various slots have been
initialized, it still feels slightly onerous
 and I was wondering if there was a way of working with Elephant or
patching Elephant to
 use allocate-instance and  do the necessary setup rather than using
make-instance directly.

cheers,
 sean.
