SLIME fails to initialize with (SETF DOCUMENTATION) undefined

[Mark Evenson]

A stock SLIME installation that attempts to load the asdf contrib will fail with a "(SETF DOCUMENTATION) undefined" error.

[Mark Evenson]

Possibly need to use "--noinit" flag to reproduce, depending on what forms the local "~/.abclrc" contains.

[Evenson Not Org]

Caused by not having properly implemented SETF macro autoloaded with changes made in r14346.

[Mark Evenson]

As suggested by Rudi, a workaround until we implement the SETF autoloader would be to insert the following form in the compilation unit before the place where the error is raised:

#+abcl
(eval-when (:load-toplevel :compile-toplevel :execute)
  (documentation 'car 'function)) ;; workaround (SETF DOCUMENTATION) autoloader bug

[Mark Evenson]

(In [14369]) Implementation of autoloader for SETF generalized references.

Fixes #296. Fixes #266. Fixes #228.

For forms which set the symbol properties of SETF-EXPANDER or
SETF-FUNCTION to function definitions, places stub of type
AutoloadGeneralizedReference? to be resolved when first invoked.
