Problem linking ABCL code into a larger Java program
by Robert Goldman 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

I've been trying to resuscitate some old code that used some functions I wrote in ABCL into a larger Java system (if anyone cares, the PRISM probabilistic model checker). I'm getting the following error message: ``` ; Compiling jar:file:///Users/rpg/projects/matrics/prism/prism/lib/abcl-contrib.jar!/asdf-jar/package.lisp ... ; (DEFPACKAGE #:ASDF-JAR ...) ; Wrote /Users/rpg/.cache/common-lisp/abcl-1.9.2-fasl43-macosx-arm64/Users/rpg/projects/matrics/prism/prism/lib/abcl-contrib.jar/asdf-jar/package-tmp1FUW82KK.abcl (0.022 seconds) ; Compiling jar:file:///Users/rpg/projects/matrics/prism/prism/lib/abcl-contrib.jar!/asdf-jar/asdf-jar.lisp ... ; (IN-PACKAGE #:ASDF-JAR) ; (DEFUN ADD-SYSTEM-FILES-TO-MAPPING! ...) ; (DEFUN SYSTEMS->HASH-TABLE ...) ; (DEFUN PACKAGE ...) ; (DEFUN ALL-FILES ...) ; (DEFUN RESOLVE-SYSTEM-OR-FEATURE ...) ; (DEFUN DEPENDENT-SYSTEMS ...) ; (DEFUN ARCHIVE-RELATIVE-PATH ...) ; (DEFUN TMPDIR ...) ; (DEFUN ADD-TO-ASDF ...) ; (DEFUN PREPARE-FOR-WAR ...) ; Wrote /Users/rpg/.cache/common-lisp/abcl-1.9.2-fasl43-macosx-arm64/Users/rpg/projects/matrics/prism/prism/lib/abcl-contrib.jar/asdf-jar/asdf-jar-tmpLI46SF5K.abcl (0.206 seconds) #<THREAD "main" native {753AACF}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type TYPE-ERROR The value #<jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders.... {6470078D}> is not of type LIST.

I'm really barely literate in Java, which is why I wrote the code in question in ABCL instead of Java, so I apologize if this question is just plain stupid. Thanks for any clues

ABCL in a multi-threading environment
by Blake McBride 19 Sep '24

19 Sep '24

Hello, I have a multi-threading Java application (like a web server). ABCL is already added to it but is not used too much. I have a particular need within that application that I think ABCL would be well suited for, but I first need to better understand how ABCL functions in a multithreading environment. What I need is as follows. I have some Lisp code and data that will be defined both by .lisp files and from within Java. This code and data will be used by a multi-threading Java application in a read-only way. However, the Java threads themselves need to be able to introduce Lisp data that must be unique to each thread and gets deleted when the thread ends (presumably by the GC). Is there a way to do this with ABCL? Thank you! Blake McBride

CDR for Package-Local Nicknames [Feedback Request]
by Alexander Fedorov 06 Jul '24

06 Jul '24

Dear all, Over 10 years ago, SBCL implemented the Package-Local Nicknames (PLNs) extension. Since then, PLNs have also been adopted by multiple implementations (ABCL, CCL, ECL, Clasp, Allegro CL and LispWorks) and are now widely used in many projects. However, PLNs are still considered experimental, as stated in the SBCL manual, since there is no formal specification for them, and each implementation interprets various corner cases differently. While the need for a specification has been previously discussed, I was unable to find any publicly accessible draft for one. Therefore, I have drafted a specification intended to become a CDR document. I initially wrote this draft about a year ago and have recently revised it. You can find the latest version here: https://gleefre.github.io/cdr-package-local-nicknames/index.html. There are currently nine unresolved standardization issues, each with at least one proposed resolution. Input on those issues would be particularly helpful, but any feedback is welcome! P.S. I am sharing this link across multiple platforms to reach as many lispers as possible. This includes various mailing lists (Lisp Pro, CDR-discuss and -devel for various CL implementations); IRC channels (#commonlisp and implementation-specific ones); the Lisp Discord server; several Telegram groups; and a post on Reddit. If you have any suggestions for additional places to share the link, please let me know. My apologies to those receiving this message multiple times. Best regards, Alexander Fedorov.

abcl.org/trac/* being spidered by multiple bots
by Erik Huelsmann 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Hi Mark, Last night a number of disruptions in cliki.net availability were reported, a happens regularly lately -- and definitely during the weekly backup. So I checked the server this morning. The server had a load of 50 (>15 per cpu); 80% of that was going to Trac, however the access log trac.common-lisp.net_access.log was silent. Turns out all the traffic was on abcl.org. It was being spidered like crazy. Trac - or our server setup (or both) - really isn't up to that task, which is why there is only limited spidering allowed on trac.common-lisp.net. (Enough to spider "current" trunk of projects and their issues.) To restrict spidering, I've changed the robots.txt file at /project/armedbear/public_html/robots.txt. Could you please commit that robots.txt (or an even stricter one) to the repository that the site is being synced from? Thanks! Regards, Erik.

Unwrapping Java Character to char
by Robert Dodier 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

Hi, is there a way to unwrap a Java boxed value to get the Java primitive value inside it? In particular I am interested in obtaining the char inside a Character, in order to supply the char to a method which requires a char. Thanks for any info, Robert

Re: Associating names with characters for named Unicode characters
by Robert Dodier 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Alejandro, thanks a lot for your reply. Is there a way, in abcl-utils, to inform the Lisp reader to recognize named characters such as #\BOX_DRAWINGS_LIGHT_HORIZONTAL in source code? That is the ultimate goal I am seeking. best, Robert

Associating names with characters for named Unicode characters
by Robert Dodier 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to associate a name with a character at run time in ABCL. I am interested in working with Unicode characters which have names, e.g. BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL and others listed in the document at: https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2500.pdf I am thinking it would be great if I could refer to such characters by name, e.g.: #\BOX_DRAWINGS_LIGHT_HORIZONTAL. It appears that such names are not defined in ABCL; I'm looking for a way to define them at run time. From looking at the source code, maybe it's possible via the setCharName static method in org.armedbear.lisp.LispCharacter. However, when I try to get a reference to setCharName, I get an error: CL-USER(10): (java:jstatic "setCharName" "org.armedbear.lisp.LispCharacter") #<THREAD "interpreter" native {48616CA1}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type ERROR No such static method: org.armedbear.lisp.LispCharacter.setCharName() I thought maybe the problem there is that setCharName isn't declared public, but I tried the same operation with a declared public static method and I get the same error: CL-USER(12): (java:jstatic "getInstance" "org.armedbear.lisp.LispCharacter") #<THREAD "interpreter" native {48616CA1}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type ERROR No such static method: org.armedbear.lisp.LispCharacter.getInstance() so maybe I am not going about that correctly. setCharName modifies the lookup table org.armedbear.lisp.LispCharacter.lispChars -- I'm sure it's not recommended, but maybe I can put new entries into it directly; can someone give me a hint as to the appropriate incantation in Lisp? lispChars is declared public static so it seems like it should be possible, if I can craft the appropriate method call to org.armedbear.lisp.CharHashMap.put. Thanks for any info, Robert
