#|kawa:1|# (defpackage "GF" (:use 'cl)) /dev/stdin:1:1: evaluating syntax transformer 'defpackage' threw java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to gnu.text.Char
I've no idea what this is pointing to. I don't see where gnu.text.Char is coming into play. Sorry about dumping out-of-context code on you, I was hoping I'm being silly and the error is obvious to fresh eyes! Any pointers on how I might get more information with macro problems? Are stack traces possible?
What I do in such cases is search for the error message "evaluating syntax transformer" in the source code, and then I put a printStackTrace there (or breakpoint if you use a debugger).
Perhaps printing out the exception stack trace in this case should be the default.
However, that may help a whole lot. Basically you have to debug the syntax transformer which may be painful. Printing out diagnostics in the macro may help. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
