Description

The accessor generic function slot-value-using-class implements the slot-value and (setf slot-value) functions.

The implementation and information about class, object and value is as described in AMOP, except that the third argument slot-name is the slot name, and not a slot definition metaobject. The primary methods specialize on t for this argument.

Note: by default, standard slot accessors, and access by slot-value to an argument of a method where the specializer is a class defined by defclass, are optimized to not call slot-value-using-class. This can be overridden with the :optimize-slot-access class option. See defclass for details.
