* bug: symbol-value place always global.Kaz Kylheku2023-05-141-0/+24
We have a problem. If v is a dynamic variable, then the form (let (v) (set (symbol-value 'v) 3)) is not behaving correctly; it's updating the top-level value of v not the rebound one. * eval.c (set_symbol_value): New static function. (eval_init): Register sys:set-symbol-value intrinsic. The top-vb variable, though no longer referenced by the symbol-value place, because existing compiled code depends on it. * stdlib/place.tl (symbol-value): Rewrite the place logic to use symbol-value to access the variable, and set-symbol-value to update it, instead of referencing sys:top-vb. (sys:get-vb): This function has to stay, because it provides run-time support for code compiled with the buggy version of the place. * tests/019/symbol-value.tl: New file.
