RE: Re: CLOS+defstruct issues

I added two files to the patches directory:

http://www.cormanlisp.com/CormanLisp/patches/2_01/

which fix this problem with :include in DEFSTRUCT.

Honestly, I was never aware of this feature, so didn't implement it,
although it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for tracking down the problem.

The problem is in Corman's defstruct. The classes generated by defstruct
don't get appropriate class-precedence-lists. As you can see, the
classes aaa and bbb are missing:

  (class-precedence-list (find-class 'ccc))
  => (#<Standard-Class CCC #xF30C80> #<Standard-Class STRUCTURE
#x1405498>
      #<Standard-Class T #x146DDC8>)

This means that the method dispatch won't recognize ccc objects as
instances of aaa or bbb.

Strangely, this still works:

  (typep (make-ccc) 'bbb)
  => t

Fix defstruct, and your method dispatch will work too.
