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:
```

This is Java 23, and I suspect I should be trying an earlier version,
but I'm not sure what one.
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
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
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.

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.
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

"A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before but there is nothing
to compare to it now."
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
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
