[Openmcl-devel] Query about ASSERT and COMPILER-LET

[Ron Garret]

I’m running v1.12-dev.5-23-gb25693fa on Catalina and AFAICT the code for ASSERT has not changed, and still invokes COMPILER-LET.

COMPILER-LET is an undocumented CCL extension, but AFAICT from looking at the source it is safe to simply treat it as if it expanded as follows:

(defmacro compiler-let (bindings &body body)
  (declare (ignore bindings))
  `(progn , at body))
