[Gcl-devel] literal objects in 'compile

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

Is 

(compile nil (lambda (x y) (member x y :test 'equal)))

effectively forbidden from performing any equal optimizations by the
'no copy or coalesce rule', i.e. someone might change #'equal and the
compiled code should still reference the original function?  This of
course begs the question whether equal optimizations have any meaning
if one can change the function definition, etc.  Are symbols in
certain packages sacrosanct in this sense?

Take care,
