The background for this request is that I needed to port a semaphore
logic on top of the CMUCL multiprocessing system. The semaphore
logic was running on top of Allegro Common Lisp from Franz Inc.
Doing that I discovered a need for modifying the "whostate" of a
"process" struct of a process that is waiting.
It seems to me that this should be perfectly safe; the "whostate" has
no function, it is simply a hook that makes debugging simpler. Allegro
Common Lisp has this facility.
The patch is to add this "defun" to cmucl/code/multi-proc.list:
(defun (setf process-whostate) (wait-reason process)
"Modify wait reason."
(setf (process-%whostate process) wait-reason))
