[Openmcl-devel] Undefined function: muting the compiler

[Michael Minerva]

Hey Paul,

I think our issue might be better described with an example with three files:

First, we have an init.lisp that contains:

(load "home:A")
(load "home:B")

Then, A.lisp:

(defun a-func()
  (b-func))

Finally, b.lisp:

(defun b-func ()
  (print "B-FUNC!"))

When you execute the init file you will get this warning:

;Compiler warnings for "home:A.lisp.newest" :
;   In A-FUNC: Undefined function B-FUNC

Most of the time we would try to declare b-func in a file that is loaded before a.lisp gets loaded, but in a few cases this is impossible.  Is there anyway to avoid this type of warning?  Thanks.

I was pretty sure that I didn't see the behavior you describe, so I created a simple example file containing two defun's that each reference the other to test my memory. Neither load nor compile-file gave any kind of warning for this example. You DO get a warning if you just open the file in the IDE and do an "execute all" on it, but I sort of expect that.
