[armedbear-devel] Setup changes for cl-test-grid.cloud.efficito.com
by Erik Huelsmann 08 Apr '15

Hi Anton, Looking at some of the test grid failures for ABCL, I noticed some of the OpenGL packages failing due to being unable to locate LibGL.so. To resolve that, I ran: $ aptitude install libgl1-mesa-swx11 Then I noticed something wanted to require JSS, but didn't know how to, so I've added "(require :abcl-contrib)" to /home/testgrid/.abclrc. With these in place cl-glfw-opengl-core seems to load just fine. Any other libraries or measures I should take in order to be able to load (currently failing) systems? Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] bug in format ~f
by Carlos Ungil 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hello, comparing output from different implementations I've found the following (minor) bug: > (format t "~,2f" 0.999) 1.0 ;; should be 1.00 I think there is a problem here as well: > (format t "~5f" 0.00000001) .0000 ;; should print " 0.0" Only SBCL gives the output I would expect, most implementations print ".0000" as ABCL does. From the HyperSpec 22.3.3.1: "If the parameter d is omitted, then there is no constraint on the number of digits to appear after the decimal point. A value is chosen for d in such a way that as many digits as possible may be printed subject to the width constraint imposed by the parameter w and the constraint that ___no trailing zero digits may appear in the fraction, except that if the fraction to be printed is zero, then a single zero digit should appear after the decimal point___ if permitted by the width constraint." This problem appears only when the value is close to zero, otherwise the output is fine: > (format t "~5f" 1.00000001) 1.0 ;; OK I guess those zero digits are not considered trailing because there is no non-zero digit before but I think the specification still requires the fraction to be printed with a single zero digit after the decimal point.

[armedbear-devel] Using ASDF/BUNDLE for ABCL
by Erik Huelsmann 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hi, Some time ago Mark Evenson created ASDF-JAR on ABCL. It has some issues packaging ASD files which uses #. syntax to read e.g. version files (version.lisp-sexp) such as bordeaux-threads does. We know ECL started hooking into the ASDF/BUNDLE machinery for ASDF to overcome problems like these. Could you help me/us out and explain how we can plug ABCL into the same machinery? From what I've seen, it's most efficient if the resulting code be committed to ASDF. That's fine by me. At this point, I'd just be happy with an explanation on how to do the hooking up: the new ASDF/BUNDLE functionality doesn't seem to be documented in the manual yet. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide! Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] test results for 1.2.0-dev
by Anton Vodonosov 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello. Got the test results from Erik's machine few days ago, but only now have time to report them to the mailing list. Comparison of 1.1.1 and 1.2.0-dev on quicklisp 2013-03-12: http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/abcl/abcl-diff3.html It doesn't present big difference as I hoped, because closer-mop now compiles on any version of ABCL, including 1.1.1. Maybe runtime behavior will be different, but we have no test suites which highlight this difference. Note some regressions: uiop, metacopy-with-contextl, xcvb-bridge. I haven't analyzed what is the cause. Probably something ASDF-related. To give you sense of ABCL progress, here is the report comparing ABCL 1.1.1 on two quicklisps: 2013-02-17 and 2013-03-12: http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/abcl/abcl-diff4.html As you see, much more libraries compile OK in new quicklisp. Note, these two quicklisps were tested on different machines, and the later quicklisp was tested with absence of gcc. This explains failure of cl-gss for example, which can be ignored. Pay attention to some CRASH results in new quicklisp. These crashes reproduce in 1.2.0-dev too and are caused by various errors in ABCL (like index out of bounds, assertion failed). Command line to reproduce it at the cl-test-grid.cloud.efficito.com machine, as user testgrid: rm -r .cache/common-lisp/ java -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -jar /home/testgrid/lisps/abcl/dist/abcl.jar --noinit --nosystem --batch --eval '(require :abcl-contrib)' --load /home/testgrid/quicklisp/setup.lisp --eval '(ql:quickload :cl-l10n)' > log 2>&1 Finally, here is the load failures report for 1.2.0-dev: http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/abcl/abcl-1-2-0-load-failures.h… Recall, that the default sorting in this report tries to present on top the libraries fixing which will give bigger "outcome". More detailed explanation of the report columns is here: https://github.com/cl-test-grid/cl-test-grid/tree/master/reporting#combinin… As you see, there are several directions to dig further, depending on what you are more interested to start with. Let me know what other reports you want to see, or what configurations to test, or how to reproduce certain errors. Best regards, - Anton

[armedbear-devel] Bordeaux-threads test hangs

[armedbear-devel] cl-l10n: GETENV on ABCL
by Erik Huelsmann 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hi Attila, cl-l10n wants to use GETENV. Now that ABCL seems to support closer-mop rather well, we're testing many more libraries to see if they're loading correctly on ABCL. cl-l10n seems to lack a GETENV for ABCL. Could you use the the function EXT:GETENV for it? Example: (ext:getenv "PATH") --> "some path string" Or NIL if no env var by the given name exists. Thanks in advance! Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] ASDF: Cannot handle the special form EXTENSIONS:TRULY-THE
by Blake McBride 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Greetings, Trying to load a package with ASDF I ran into the following error: ASDF could not load because Cannot (currently) handle the special form EXTENSIONS:TRULY-THE. #<THREAD "interpreter" {4BC78066}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR Cannot (currently) handle the special form TRULY-THE Restarts: ... I traced the problem to ASDF and not the package I was attempting to load. Does anyone know anything about this? (I am running the latest SVN head of ABCL) Thanks. Blake McBride

[armedbear-devel] preparing to test ABCL trunk
by Anton Vodonosov 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Today Erik configured for me a VM on his server, where I can run cl-test-grid tests. We were trying the recent ABCL trunk (1.2.0-dev-svn-14436) on the very very recent quicklisp 2013-03-12, which includes long awaited releases for closer-mop and cffi with ABCL patches. Some notes I collected: 1. New CFFI tries to (require :jss) and fails, because (require :abcl-contrib) hasn't been done. If we do (require :abcl-contrib) then CFFI loads. 2. But when we test actual work, for example by doing (ql:quickload :drakma) (drakma:http-request "https://google.com/") it fails with strange error "UNDEFINED-FUNCTION is called". On SBCL these calls work. 3. (ql:quickload "cl-l10n") fails with ArrayIndexOutOfBounds - may be an ABCL bug. Aside from this, closer-mop seems working (at leas compilation of dependent library "access" doesn't fail anymore). Mark, If you want to quickly reproduce the above problems, you can access the server at cl-test-grid.cloud.efficito.com. Username - testgrid. Erik have added your ssh public key from common-lisp.net to that server. To start ABCL you can use rlwrap java -jar ~/lisps/abcl/dist/abcl.jar (ql:quickload :cl-l10n) => ERROR: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 Before starting cl-test-grid tests, I would like to understand, should cl-test-grid always pass --eval "(require :abcl-contrib)" parameter to ABCL when starting it to run a test? Previously cl-test-grid only tested pure ABCL, without contribs. Feedback on this question is very welcome. Best regards, - Anton
