I've done some experimenting, and it looks like the problem can be avoided if the EVAL-WHEN form at the top of cl-presentations.el gets ":execute" added to the list of whens. The reason for this is that swank is loading the _uncompiled_ "swank-presentations.lisp" and (eval-when (:load-toplevel) ...) only causes execution when being loaded post-compilation (which surprised me, but reading hyperspec looks like it's correct).
You can see the same effect by loading this both with and without compiling it first: (eval-when (:load-toplevel) (print "I'm a fasl!")) For what it's worth, that whole EVAL-WHEN form is new. It was introduced on september 10 in commit dd60335fe795b12c629fa97a173d3768af157d7f I'm not sure why it's loading the uncompiled file, though. A compiled version exists, but it looks like swank-require might not know about the ~/.cache/common-lisp convention. -- Robert Macomber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
