[Openmcl-devel] make-hash-table: error: non-standard test specified without hash-function

[Gary Byers]

please see the CLHS entry foe MAKE_HASH-TABLE, especially where is says 
of the :test
argument:

/te/st---a designator 
<http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/26_glo_d.htm#designator> 
for one of the functions 
<http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/26_glo_f.htm#function> 
eq <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_eq.htm#eq>, 
eql 
<http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_eql.htm#eql>, 
equal 
<http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_equal.htm#equal>, 
or equalp 
<http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_equalp.htm#equalp>. 


In other words, the results of using other things as :test the value of
the :test argument are not portably defined.

You don't need to provide a hash-function if you use a standard test
function (one of the above).

in CCL, you can use a non-standard test function, but you must also tell
MAKE_HASH-TABLE how to hash things so that two things that are 
equivalent under transport-plugin-info-equal-p)
hash to the same value
