[armedbear-devel] Patch: top-level::repl keyword evaluation and command case-ignore.
by mahmud 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This patch fixes these two issues in ABCL 0.22.0: 1) Keyword evaluation in the repl is broken. The repl assumes all keywords are, in fact, repl commands. 2) Repl commands are case sensitive: :help :HELP mean two different things. The patch also contains tests.

[armedbear-devel] java interop question
by Kevin Raison 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I am an old hand at cl, but java is still a bit of a mystery to me. I am particularly puzzled as to why, when trying to use the apache http components library to do a simple http get in abcl, I cannot make it work. My code: (defun http-get (url) (let* ((url (jnew (jclass "java.lang.String") url)) (client-class (jclass "org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient")) (client-obj (jnew client-class)) (get-class (jclass "org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet")) (get-obj (jnew get-class url))) (jcall (jmethod client-class "execute") client-obj get-obj))) And the java code from the apache tutorial http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.0.3/tutorial/html/fundamentals…: HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost/"); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget); ... For some reason, my code fails with No such method: org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient.execute(). I do have the appropriate jars in my class path. The java code specifically calls the execute method on its instantiated httpclient, but I cannot do the same from abcl. This method is inherited from org.apache.http.impl.client.AbstractHttpClient, in case that makes a difference. (http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.0.3/httpclient/apidocs/index.h…). Thanks for any insight! -Kevin

[armedbear-devel] AbclScriptEngine exits on load
by Ole Myren Rohne 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hi ABCL-developers, Thank you for releasing abcl-0.22! I'm playing with AbclScriptEngine (with Electric VLSI) and found a tiny problem with config.lisp: EXT:MAKE-THREAD should be THREADS:MAKE-THREAD. Unfortunately the problem was unnecessary hard to debug because in the absence of TPL::REPL the debugger ends up quitting the entire application. I'm wondering if in that case it would be more useful to throw a Java error, eg like SYS::%DEBUGGER-HOOK-FUNCTION? Best regards, Ole

[armedbear-devel] Ticket 100: #P deserialization still valid?
by Erik Huelsmann 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Alessio, Could you check ticket #100 (http://trac.common-lisp.net/armedbear/ticket/100)? You reported we don't deserialize well. Since Mark did quite a bit of work on pathnames, has it been fixed? Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] ABCL Ticket #29: Loading user files off a JAR
by Erik Huelsmann 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi Alan, Could you please check ticket #29 (http://trac.common-lisp.net/armedbear/ticket/29)? It's about being able to load files off JARs. However, with Mark Evenson's latest work on loading FASLs off jars, the request may be fulfilled already. Is that the case? With kind regards, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] CLOS thread safety

I assume that the problem is in my code: but the threads > that are executing when I get the failures share no code (or > variables), and every time the errors pop up slot-value is on the > callstack someplace. Well, there have not been any specific threading issues mentioned. Over two years ago, back when I started doing ABCL, there were threading issues which looked like threading issues in CLOS. They turned out to be threading issues in the compiler though. Having said that, I see there have not been taken synchronization measures on a high level: there are no locks and threads:synchronized-on blocks in clos.lisp. There are some synchronized calls on the Java side; I'm not sure the low-level protection is good enough to maintain consistency though. Can you share some examples which show the issues here? Adding thread-safety to clos.lisp - in specific, targeted places - should be well doable. Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] Bug: (setf (values (struct-slot struct)) (values 42)) fails
by Zach Beane 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

(The "Reporting bugs" link on the abcl site doesn't actually link anywhere, so I'm mailing the list.) Here's a file that triggers an ABCL bug: ;;;; abcl-bug.lisp (defpackage #:abcl-bug (:use #:cl) (:export #:trigger)) (in-package #:abcl-bug) (defstruct mystruct slot) (defun trigger () (let ((struct (make-mystruct))) (setf (values (mystruct-slot struct)) (values 42)) struct)) Here's what happens when I run it: Armed Bear Common Lisp 0.22.0 Java 1.6.0_18 Sun Microsystems Inc. OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Low-level initialization completed in 0.445 seconds. Startup completed in 1.688 seconds. Type ":help" for a list of available commands. CL-USER(1): (load (compile-file "abcl-bug")) ; Compiling /tmp/abcl-bug.lisp ... ; (DEFPACKAGE #:ABCL-BUG ...) ; (IN-PACKAGE #:ABCL-BUG) ; (DEFSTRUCT MYSTRUCT ...) ; (DEFUN TRIGGER ...) ; Wrote /tmp/abcl-bug.abcl (0.447 seconds) T CL-USER(2): (abcl-bug:trigger) #<THREAD "interpreter" {1653033E}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type UNDEFINED-FUNCTION The function (SETF SYSTEM:STRUCTURE-REF) is undefined. Restarts: 0: TOP-LEVEL Return to top level. [1] CL-USER(3): :bt 0: (SYSTEM:BACKTRACE) 1: (INVOKE-DEBUGGER #<UNDEFINED-FUNCTION {8FE2509}>) 2: org.armedbear.lisp.Lisp.error(Lisp.java:353) 3: org.armedbear.lisp.Symbol.getSymbolSetfFunctionOrDie(Symbol.java:399) 4: org.armedbear.lisp.abcl_bug_9.execute(abcl-bug.lisp:11) 5: org.armedbear.lisp.LispThread.execute(LispThread.java:552) 6: org.armedbear.lisp.Lisp.evalCall(Lisp.java:514) 7: org.armedbear.lisp.Lisp.eval(Lisp.java:485) [1] CL-USER(4): I would expect to get a structure back with SLOT set to 42, instead of this error. This is a strange case (you normally wouldn't use VALUES there) but it comes from some larger real code that sets multiple struct slots from a multiple-value-returning function. Zach
