The "kill() does not kill compiled functions" bug is rapidly moving up
my list of important bugs. Looking at the code, the "bug" appears to be
an intended feature, but I can't for the life of me understand why.
For the time being, you can work around the bug as I did in the
following session:
----------------------------------------------------------------
(C4) f(x):=x+2;
(D4) f(x) := x + 2
(C5) g(x):=x+3;
(D5) g(x) := x + 3
(C6) DONT_KILL_SYMBOLS_WITH_LISP_SOURCE_FILES:TRUE;
(D6) TRUE
(C7) kill(all);
(D0) DONE
(C1) f(x);
(D1) f(x)
(C2) g(x);
(D2) g(x)
(C3) f(x):=x+2;
(D3) f(x) := x + 2
(C4) g(x):=x+3;
(D4) g(x) := x + 3
(C5) compile(g);
(D5) [g]
(C6) kill(all);
(D0) DONE
(C1) f(x);
(D1) f(x)
(C2) g(x);
(D2) x + 3
(C3) DONT_KILL_SYMBOLS_WITH_LISP_SOURCE_FILES:FALSE;
(D3) FALSE
(C4) kill(all);
(D0) DONE
(C1) f(x);
(D1) f(x)
(C2) g(x);
(D2) g(x)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Please see if you can eliminate the testsuite interactions using the
DONT_KILL_SYMBOLS_WITH_LISP_SOURCE_FILES variable.
