"Lock on package COMMON-LISP violated" on versions above 0.1 with SBCL

Drainful commented 5 years ago

I get the following error

Lock on package COMMON-LISP violated when setting the compiler-macro-function of MAKE-LOAD-FORM while in package GENERIC-CL.IMPL.

when running (ql:quickload :generic-cl) with versions of generic-cl 0.2 or higher.

Steps to reproduce:

cd to ~/quicklisp/local-projects/
clone https://github.com/alex-gutev/generic-cl/
git checkout tags/v0.2.1 (or v0.2)
open sbcl and run (ql:quickload :generic-cl)

The problem can be resolved by selecting a restart, but the consequences are undefined according to the standard. Is this intentional behavior, and if so, which restart do you recommend be used?

This is a bug in static-dispatch which was fixed in v0.2.3. You need to clone v0.2.3 of static-dispatch and load it instead of the version currently in quicklisp.

Thank you. Sorry for bothering you. Closing.
