Title: Enigmatically-named uninterned symbols at delivery level 5
ID: 16001
| Product: LispWorks for Windows (Professional / Enterprise) Version: All OS: | |
| Description: You have two problems here: (a) to find out which symbols are refered to by the enigmatic #:REA and #:LAT, and (b) to then figure out why a function which was apparently defined at level 4 ceased to be defined at level 5. First things first - see the description in documentation of the delivery keyword :symbol-names-action. Its default value (hint: use the function lw:deliver-keywords to obtain definitive default values) is (>= *delivery-level* 5) Try adding :symbol-names-action nil to your delivery script. This will retain full symbol-names, and with luck will allow you to proceed with debugging the delivery process. However, if retaining symbol-names makes the problem go away, but you still want to shave a bit off the image by expunging symbol-names, then you should set :symbol-names-action :dump and add an error handler to the delivered image to call the function mm::recover-name-from-file to convert the enigmatic uninterned symbols (or their names) into the names of the symbols which they originally represented. | |

| Summary:When turning lisp code into stand alone executables I have been able to successfully deliver at level 4, which has reduced the image size from just over 16M to just under 8M. Everyting works fine. However, when I go to level 5 I get a message box which says "Undefined function #:REA called with arguments (#<#:LAT 204B9a14>)." | |
