[ann] [cdr-announce] CDR 5 revised
by Pascal Costanza 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

The document "Sub-interval Numerical Types for Common Lisp" has been revised by its author Marco Antoniotti. It has also changed its name - the previous name was "Extra Numerical Types for Common Lisp". This document is still in its initial stage and will be finalized on April 9, 2008, unless withdrawn by the author beforehand. See http://cdr.eurolisp.org/document/5/ for more details.

[ann] [closer-announce] Article about COP in JOT
by Pascal Costanza 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi everybody, There is a new article about Context-oriented Programming in the Journal of Object Technology, and it can be viewed and downloaded at http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2008_03/article4/ It discusses context-oriented extensions for Common Lisp, Smalltalk and Java, namely ContextL, ContextS and ContextJ. There is a new ContextL example presented in this article that we haven't discussed in any of the previous papers, so it should be an interesting read for ContextL users as well. As always, please feel free to send feedback and suggestions. Best, Pascal -- 1st European Lisp Symposium (ELS'08) http://prog.vub.ac.be/~pcostanza/els08/ Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium _______________________________________________ closer-announce mailing list closer-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/closer-announce

[ann] [objective-cl-announce] Objective-CL 0.2.1
by Matthias Benkard 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hi all, I have released Objective-CL 0.2.1. This release adds convenience and robustness to the previous one. * Quick Summary Super calls are supported. Bugs have been fixed. You may omit DEFINE-OBJECTIVE-C-GENERIC-FUNCTION calls. * What's New? ** Super Calls Up to now, there was no way of doing the equivalent of a message send to `super' as in Objective-C. This has changed. Just as with CALL-NEXT-METHOD for standard methods, you may now either call (SUPER) as-is or with the arguments you wish to pass to it. See the SUPER function in the reference manual for details. ** Implicit Definition of Objective-C Generic Functions DEFINE-OBJECTIVE-C-METHOD now takes care of defining a suitable OBJECTIVE-C-GENERIC-FUNCTION for you if you don't do so yourself. ** Bug Fixes Lots of little bugs are gone as well. Among others, returning values from Objective-C methods now works much more reliably, and Lisp wrapper objects don't just vanish when the GC runs as long as the corresponding foreign instance is still referenced by Objective-C code. I'm still wondering what to do on garbage-collected Objective-C runtimes. Have fun! ~ Matthias _______________________________________________ objective-cl-announce mailing list objective-cl-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/objective-cl-announce

[ann] [objective-cl-announce] Objective-CL 0.2.0
by Matthias Benkard 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi all, Objective-CL 0.2.0 has been released. This release is a major milestone on the way to 1.0.0. * Quick summary We can now define Objective-C classes and methods without writing a single line of Objective-C code. The API may not be stable and there might be crashes, but living dangerously is half the fun, right? ;) * What's new? ** Method call syntax #.(enable-method-syntax) We now support Clozure CL's new method call syntax via reader macros. That means you can write: (let ((lock (#/new (find-objc-class 'ns-lock)))) (#/lock lock) (print (#/stringWithCString:encoding: (find-objc-class 'ns-string) "Hi there!" 0)) (#/unlock lock)) In fact, as the reader macro does no more than offer an alternate syntax for symbols, you can do things like using it with APPLY as well: (apply #'#/stringWithUTF8String: (find-objc-class 'ns-string) (list "Hi again.")) ** Class definition You can now define classes. For example, the following will define a subclass of NSObject called MLKMyClass, including a native slot called FOOS and a foreign slot (that is, an Objective-C ivar) called FOO-COUNT (fooCount on the Objective-C side): (define-objective-c-class ns::mlk-my-class (ns::ns-object) ((foos :initargs :foos) (foo-count :foreign-type :int))) Simple CFFI type specifiers are recognised by :FOREIGN-TYPE, but please note that complex types such as struct and union types are not yet supported. ** Method definition You can now define Objective-C methods from Lisp for your own classes. The following will define the Objective-C method -(int)foo:(int)bar:(id)stuff:(id)do:(NSNumber *) on MLKMyClass instances: (define-objective-c-generic-function #/foo:bar:stuff:do: (self y z a b)) (define-objective-c-method #/foo:bar:stuff:do: :int ((self ns::mlk-my-class) (y :int) z a (b ns::ns-number)) (format t "Hello! Z and A are ~A and~&~A, respectively. Have a nice day." z a) (+ y 20)) Usage example: OBJECTIVE-CL> (invoke (invoke (find-objc-class 'mlk-my-class) 'new) :foo 3 :bar "abc" :stuff 3 :do 33) Hello! Z and A are #<NS:GSC-BUFFER-STRING `abc' {8230318}> and #<NS:GS-CACHED-INT `3' {812C5D0}>, respectively. Have a nice day. 23 Note that, at present, you absolutely have to call DEFINE-OBJECTIVE-C-GENERIC-FUNCTION before defining methods, because otherwise you're going to get the wrong type of generic function. All modifiers of the standard method combination should be supported in principle, but it's unlikey they'll work as expected. This is planned for a future release. &REST and &KEY arguments are not supported. #.(disable-method-syntax) ** Struct wrappers When an Objective-C method returns a struct, it is now wrapped in a FOREIGN-STRUCT; likewise for unions. If you want to prevent its automatic deallocation, you need to set its FOREIGN-VALUE-LISP-MANAGED-P property to false. This change has been made because it would otherwise not be safe to discard return values of Objective-C methods, a safety which both Objective-C and Lisp programmers have come to expect. ** COLLECT-CLASSES The new function COLLECT-CLASSES may be used to make all classes known to the Objective-C runtime available as CLOS classes under the NS namespace. In an ideal world, we'd do this automatically at system load-time, but registering such a large number of classes along with their metaclasses takes a long time on some CL implementations (CMUCL, SBCL), so it's the user's decision whether to use FIND-OBJC-CLASS for each class or COLLECT-CLASSES once for now. If you try the release out, please tell me what works and what doesn't. If you can't even get it to compile, that is helpful information as well. Of course, above all, have lots of fun! ~ Matthias _______________________________________________ objective-cl-announce mailing list objective-cl-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/objective-cl-announce

[ann] [clouchdb-announce] Released version 0.0.9
by Peter Eddy 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

I've released version 0.0.9 of Clouchdb. This release includes proper support for complex keys in ad-hoc-view and invoke-view functions. It is now possible to use s-exprs as values for :key, :start-key and :end-key parameters. - Peter _______________________________________________ clouchdb-announce mailing list clouchdb-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clouchdb-announce
