Subject: bug#6583: 23.2; cl loop macro with `and' clause
Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2010 09:33:29 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871vbedfzq.fsf@blah.blah> (raw)

Evaluating

    (require 'cl)
    (loop for elem in '(1 2 3)
          for k = elem and j = 99
          do
          (print k))

shows

    1
    1
    2

where I thought it might be

    1
    2
    3

I'm don't know much about the cl loop macro but thought the `for k' step
would be evaluated after the `for elem' step, "sequential" per the cl
info manual near the end of "For Clauses"

    If you include several `for' clauses in a row, they are treated
    sequentially

The 1,2,3 is what you get from pasting the same form into clisp, if that
suggests what an actual common lisp does or should do.  And in Emacs
it's had if you omit the "and j",

    (loop for elem in '(1 2 3)
          for k = elem
          do
          (print k))
    =>
    1 2 3

Nosing around the macro expansion I wondered if the "step" of k/j gets
mispositioned if there's an `and', but it's hard to be sure.


I struck this when making a loop over an alist where I thought to take
apart the key and value with an `and' as they didn't need to be
sequential,

    (loop for elem in my-alist
          for k = (car elem) and v = (cdr elem)
          do
          ...

Alas the effect of the "1 1 2" was to double the first element and omit
the last.
