Warnings and compile failures

[Zach]

List,

It seems that when Slime encounters a warning during compilation, it
reports the compilation as a failed and the defuns are not updated.  Is
there a way to disable this for decidedly benign warnings?

If you care for context, Iterate warns if you include some code that it
cannot walk.  I want to iterate over something wrapped in a
without-interrupts environment (some C code, which doesn't handle
interruptions well).  Without-interrupts, in SBCL, uses a macrolet
environment which is one of the things that the Iterate code walker doesn't
know how to walk.

That said, the inability to walk the code in no way affects the execution
unless there are forms in the unwalkable code that are Iterate directives
(or whatever you want to call them).  This means that so long as there
Slime aborts compilation upon any warning, any code with a macrolet inside
an Iterate is more difficult than than it needs to be when compiling from a
buffer in Slime.  I am now wrapping the offending macrolet code in another
function call so Iterate doesn't know about it and doesn't complain, but it
would be nice if these kinds of work-arounds weren't necessary.

Thanks,
Zach KS
