[armedbear-devel] CLOS for ABCL based on interpreted Closette?
by ubikation _ 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I've been trying to read AMOP and looking at the Closette code. It seems to me that ABCL uses Closette for CLOS... but the original Xerox code seems to explicitly warn against using it for compiled CLOS. I was just wondering if this is perhaps the reason for the performance issues of CLOS in ABCL. Do other CL implementations use Closette? The text is "Load this source file directly, rather than trying to compile it." from here: http://homepage.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/xls/xlispstat/other/closette/closette.… Thanks!

[armedbear-devel] Compiler loses lexical macro in (eval-when (:compile-toplevel ...))

Hi. This code fragment works with (LOAD "/tmp/foo.lisp") but not (COMPILE-FILE "/tmp/foo.lisp") (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute) (defvar *count* 0) (macrolet ((something (sym) `(setf (get ,sym 'uniqueid) (incf *count*)))) (defun register-it (x) (something x)))) (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :execute) (format t "~&OK so far~%") (register-it :foo)) (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :execute) (format t "~&Got ~D~%" (symbol-plist :foo))) Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.3.0 Java 1.7.0_51 Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM Low-level initialization completed in 0.258 seconds.

[armedbear-devel] Problem in CLOS MOP in abcl 1.2.0
by Pascal Costanza 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, There is a problem in the MOP implementation in abcl 1.2.0: It seems that the parameter list for std-find-method-combination has changed, but the corresponding :initform for :method-combination for standard-generic-function has not been updated to reflect this. I now get an error that std-find-method-combination gets the wrong number of arguments in my test suites. I don't have a good idea how to work around this problem in Closer to MOP, so I believe I cannot officially declare support for abcl 1.2.0. Another recommendation: The *features* list currently doesn't provide a way to detect the version of abcl. Most Common Lisp implementation have one convention or the other to encode this information. If I had a workaround for the above problem, detecting the version via *features* would allow me to provide a version of Closer to MOP that works with several versions of abcl. (This may, however, not be as crucial as for the commercial implementations.) Best, Pascal -- Pascal Costanza

[armedbear-devel] Trouble trying to get example to work
by ubikation _ 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I've been finding it difficult to try and understand the Java/ABCL interop. Right now I'm trying to get the official ABCL pure lisp calling java example to work to no avail: http://abcl.org/svn/tags/1.2.1/abcl/examples/pure-lisp-to-java/ Even though I have the Main.class in the local directory, and I see it when I 'echo $CLASSPATH' ABCL says "Class not found: Main". I'm using bash, I've run through the ABCL setup twice (although I'm not sure if it's right) but I am absolutely clueless. Is there a way to view/modify the classpath within ABCL?

[armedbear-devel] ASDF 3.0.3 released
by Robert Goldman 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Dear Lisp hackers, I am pleased to announce the release of ASDF 2.26. Since previous release 2.25, the changes are as follows: * Run-program much improved, with a slight backward incompatibility. See the new documentation about it. * Portability enhanced, with more robust Windows support, plus patches for CCL, CLISP, LispWorks, XCL. * UIOP improved, with a README, more docstrings, a few new functions (println, writeln, stripln, ensure-gethash, vomit-output-stream), and bugfixes (to ensure-function, with-temporary-file, split-string). * Debian installations that don't export XDG_DATA_DIRS will benefit from the fix to split-string, as the bug was basically disabling the default source-registry entry for /usr/share/common-lisp/source// Closes: #723977 * Minor tweaks to the defsystem, mostly to print more information in some situations, less in other situations, but also to better handle systems with secondary names like foo/bar, a fix for user functions in output-translation, and to :version (:read-file-...) * Documentation somewhat updated. This is a very substantial bug fix release, notably on Windows, but has a stable API wrt the previous version. For this reason, CL implementations are strongly encouraged to replace previous bundled versions with 3.0.3. As always, thanks to Faré for what seems like a countless number of fixes. Thanks to Dave Cooper for many hours of testing on Windows, without whom the improvements on that platform would have been impossible. Work will soon begin on the 3.1.0 series, with some additional API features, so please make sure to pull a copy of 3.0.3 instead of the bleeding edge when you are bundling. Best, Robert

[armedbear-devel] Trying to learn abcl-asdf
by ubikation _ 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I am trying to figure out how to use abcl-asdf to automate the classpath issues I've been dealing with manually in slime via (add-to-classpath "/foo/bar/..."). Are there any good examples of projects using it? I have a few jars in target/dependency that I would like to load. Thank you!

[armedbear-devel] ant target for maven-install-plugin
by Olof-Joachim Frahm 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, here is a patch attached for an ant target "abcl.mvn.install" which installs abcl- and abcl-contrib-x.y.z.jar into the local maven repository. It makes it a bit easier to get ABCL into a maven-based project if one is not particularly familiar with maven. There are more options for the plugin[1], but considering the necessary dependencies and the hassle of ant syntax I doubt it's feasible to make more available (except maybe the one to specify a different installation folder). Best regards, Olof [1]: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html
