Not fixed.
Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.1.1
All features implemented. (However, there are currently still some glitches that are not reported by MOP Feature Tests.)
CLisp 2.49
- Methods are not initialized with :function. Not fixed.
- ADD-METHOD, REMOVE-METHOD, INITIALIZE-INSTANCE and REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE do not determine a new discriminating function. This is postponed until function invocation instead, so shouldn't be a problem in practice.
- The slot order requested by a primary method for COMPUTE-SLOTS is not honoured by this MOP. Not fixed.
- DEFMETHOD does not call MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA. Fixed.
- A FORWARD-REFERENCED-CLASS is not changed via CHANGE-CLASS (but is correctly reinitialized via REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE).
- MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA is not provided. Fixed.

Clozure Common Lisp 1.9
- ADD-METHOD, REMOVE-METHOD, INITIALIZE-INSTANCE and REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE don't call COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION. Fixed.
- DEFMETHOD doesn't call GENERIC-FUNCTION-METHOD-CLASS or MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA. Fixed.
- Discriminating functions cannot be determined, and thus cannot be closures and cannot be funcalled. Fixed.
- Geveric function invocation doesn't call COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS, COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS-USING-CLASSES, or COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD. Fixed.
- Generic functions cannot be empty when called. Fixed.
- MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA is not supported. Fixed.
- Reinitialization of a lambda list doesn't update the argument precedence order. Fixed.
- The slot order requested by a primary method for COMPUTE-SLOTS is not honoured by this MOP. Not fixed.
- DOCUMENTATION doesn't return the documentation strings for slot definition metaobjects. Fixed.
- REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE of a class metaobject doesn't invoke FINALIZE-INHERITANCE again. Fixed.
- Subclasses of DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, GENERIC-FUNCTION, SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-ACCESSOR-METHOD, STANDARD-DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION, STANDARD-METHOD, STANDARD-READER-METHOD, STANDARD-SLOT-DEFINITION and STANDARD-WRITER-METHOD will inherit slots whose names are exported symbols and/or accessible in the package common-lisp-user. Not fixed.
CMUCL 20d
- CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS and CLASS-DEFAULT-INITARGS don't return canonicalized default initargs as specified. Not fixed.
- Accessor methods are not initialized with :function, :lambda-list, :slot-definition and :specializers. Fixed.
- Classes cannot be anonymous. Fixed.
- Class initialization doesn't call READER-METHOD-CLASS and WRITER-METHOD-CLASS for accessor methods. Fixed.
- The object returned by compute-discriminating-function cannot be a closure. Likewise, the second parameter to set-funcallable-instance-function cannot be a closure, but only a "pure" function/thunk. Not fixed.
- Effective slot definitions are not initialized with :documentation, and EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS also doesn't receive that initarg. Not fixed.
- Calling DOCUMENTATION on effective slot definition metaobjects don't return their documentation as specified in ANSI Common Lisp. Fixed.
- Methods are not initialized with :function. Not fixed.
- Multiple slot options are not passed as lists to DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS. Not fixed, but use FIX-SLOT-INITARGS as a workaround.
- REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE doesn't determine a new discriminating function. Fixed.
- REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE of a class metaobject doesn't invoke FINALIZE-INHERITANCE again. Not fixed.
- (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) do not use REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE for changing the names. Fixed.
- STANDARD-CLASS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS are not compatible. Not fixed.
- Subclasses of BUILT-IN-CLASS, CLASS, DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, EQL-SPECIALIZER, FORWARD-REFERENCED-CLASS, FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, SLOT-DEFINITION, SPECIALIZER, STANDARD-ACCESSOR-METHOD, STANDARD-CLASS, STANDARD-DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION, STANDARD-METHOD, STANDARD-READER-METHOD, STANDARD-SLOT-DEFINITION and STANDARD-WRITER-METHOD will inherit slots whose names are exported symbols and/or accessible in the package common-lisp-user. Not fixed.
Embeddable Common Lisp 12.12.1
- Class initialization doesn't call READER-METHOD-CLASS and WRITER-METHOD-CLASS for accessor methods. However, ECL merely delays invocation of those two functions until a class is finalized, so this shouldn't be a problem in practice.
- Subclasses of BUILT-IN-CLASS, CLASS, DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, FORWARD-REFERENCED-CLASS, FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-ACCESSOR-METHOD, STANDARD-CLASS, STANDARD-DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION, STANDARD-METHOD, STANDARD-READER-METHOD, STANDARD-SLOT-DEFINITION, and STANDARD-WRITER-METHOD will inherit slots whose names are exported symbols and/or accessible in the package common-lisp-user. Not fixed.

- Before LispWorks 5.1, the :ALLOCATION type cannot be extended. Not fixed.
- FIND-METHOD-COMBINATION doesn't exist. Fixed, but fixed version doesn't work with method combination options.
- FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS and STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS don't exist. Fixed.
- The function invocation protocol doesn't call COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS and COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS-USING-CLASSES. Fixed.
- MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA expects other parameters than specified. Fixed.
- Method functions don't take parameters as specified in AMOP, but instead just the parameters that the generic function receives. Fixed.
- The slot methods (SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS, etc.) are not specialized on effective slot definitions, but on slot names. Fixed.
- The generated accessor methods don't use the slot methods for accessing slots. Fixed. (Don't use :optimize-slot-access to deoptimize slot access, or otherwise the fixed slot access protocol doesn't work anymore!)

- DEFGENERIC does not call FIND-METHOD-COMBINATION. Not fixed.
- EQL-SPECIALIZER, EQL-SPECIALIZER-OBJECT and INTERN-EQL-SPECIALIZER don't exist. In LispWorks, eql specializers are lists not objects.

- Before LispWorks 5.1, the :ALLOCATION type cannot be extended. Not fixed.
- FIND-METHOD-COMBINATION doesn't exist. Fixed, but fixed version doesn't work with method combination options.

Not fixed, except where indicated otherwise.
MCL 5.2.1
In MCL, generic functions work completely differently than specified. The specific incompatibilities are not listed and are not fixed.
- The slot order requested by a primary method for COMPUTE-SLOTS is not honoured by this MOP. Not fixed.
- FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT is not exported. Fixed.
- REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE of a class metaobject doesn't invoke FINALIZE-INHERITANCE again. Not fixed.

Not fixed.
SBCL 1.1.5
All features implemented. (In SBCL 1.0.47, there is a glitch with methods on slot-boundp-using-class, which may not work in all cases.)
SCL 1.3.9
- The functions ADD-DIRECT-METHOD and REMOVE-DIRECT-METHOD don't exist, and thus are also not called. Partially fixed.
- CLASS-DEFAULT-INITARGS and CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS don't exist. Not fixed.
- COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD doesn't exist and isn't called. Not fixed.
- MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA doesn't exist and isn't used. Not fixed.
- The dependent protocols for classes and generic functions are not implemented. Fixed.
- Discriminating functions cannot be funcalled, and it's unclear whether your own discriminating functions may be closures or not. COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION exists, but requires an extra 'cache' parameter, whose purpose is not specified. Not fixed.
- EQL-SPECIALIZER is not a class, but only a type. Not fixed, but the implemented behavior should be sufficient for most cases.
- Allocations other than :CLASS and :INSTANCE are not supported. Not fixed.
- STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS don't exist. Not fixed.
- COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS is not invoked when generic functions are called. Not fixed.
- Multiple slot options are not passed as lists to DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS. Not fixed, but use FIX-SLOT-INITARGS as a workaround.
- Reinitialization of a generic function doesn't trigger recomputing its discriminating function. Not fixed.
- (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are not implemented by way of calling REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE. Not fixed.
- The class SPECIALIZER doesn't exist. Not fixed.
- STANDARD-CLASS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS are not compatible.
- Subclasses of BUILT-IN-CLASS, CLASS, FORWARD-REFERENCED-CLASS, FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, METHOD-COMBINATION, STANDARD-ACCESSOR-METHOD, STANDARD-CLASS, STANDARD-DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION, STANDARD-METHOD, STANDARD-READER-METHOD, STANDARD-SLOT-DEFINITION, STANDARD-WRITER-METHOD will inherit slots whose names are exported symbols and/or accessible in the package common-lisp-user. Not fixed.
Some extra notes:
- Don't rely on FIND-METHOD-COMBINATION to do its job correctly, only when you don't provide method combination options.
- MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA works in Allegro, CLisp, Clozure Common Lisp, CMUCL, LispWorks and SBCL as specified (but make sure that the respective generic function and method metaobject classes and make-method-lambda definitions are part of your compilation enviroment).
- Specialize the methods for the dependent protocol on the class or generic function metaobject class. The example in AMOP doesn't do this but that is fragile code.
- Don't rely on methods being initialized with the specified initargs from inside the MOP.
- If you specialize DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS, use FIX-SLOT-INITARGS in portable code.
- AMOP specifies that :declarations is used when initializing generic functions, whereas ANSI Common Lisp specifies that 'declare is used. Since almost all MOP implementations adhere to AMOP in this regard, I have also chosen that path.
