[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

[armedbear-devel] Gray streams aren't streams
by James M. Lawrence 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

...they're just grays :) (require :gray-streams) (subtypep 'gray-streams:fundamental-stream 'stream) ;; => NIL, T This doesn't matter for flexi-streams and other libs, but cl-store has a few DECLAREs. I don't know exactly when a type declaration is an assertion in ABCL, but at least it is for a stream with nonzero safety. Best, lmj

[armedbear-devel] Tests broken?
by Rudolf Schlatte 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi, Seems our tests are currently broken - e.g., the (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :abcl) form on line 994 of build.xml fails for me. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Rudi

[armedbear-devel] ASDF 2.32 released
by Faré 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Dear ABCL hackers, ASDF 2.32 was released in time for inclusion in the upcoming CCL 1.9. Once again, we invite all implementation vendors and distributors to upgrade the version of ASDF included in their releases. Yes, I know, that's a lot of releases in a bit more than a month. But it was also a lot of development, and a lot of adjustment to reality after that development was first released. We will keep fixing bugs and improve ASDF based on our growing internal test suite and results from Anton Vodonosov's cl-test-grid. This is still a pre-release for ASDF3. Here are the changes, since previous release 2.31, and since previous public announcement for 2.30. >From 2.31 to 2.32: * deferred-warning checks are now disabled by default, to enhance backward compatibility with ASDF 2.26 and earlier. In the future, we will enable them by default, but not until we implement a smoother transition plan. Also, CCL-specific fixes to deferred-warning support. * UIOP is the new official name for ASDF-DRIVER. "Utilities for Implementation- and OS- Portability". Old names remain as package and system nicknames: ASDF/DRIVER ASDF-DRIVER ASDF-UTILS * require-system so systems may depend on implementation-provided modules. * auto-upgrade attempt in operate *before* the implicit find-system. * class specification for components can now be a string to be read as a symbol. * feature conditional dependencies are now debugged and tested: :depends-on ("some-system" (:feature :foo "other-system)) we only recommend them for dependencies between systems; within systems, we recommend you use feature-conditional components with :if-feature :foo and we only provide limited support for the deprecated legacy way of using feature-conditionals with a module having :if-component-dep-fails :ignore while its components specify things like: :in-order-to ((compile-op (feature :foo))) * read-from-file for :version specification is made more useful by using the ASDF-USER package rather than CL (into which interning is forbidden) to read the files. Changes from 2.30 to 2.31: * *default-encoding* is now UTF-8. As tested with cl-test-grid, This is a boon for most programs, that will compile in a more predictable way in a wider range of settings. A handful of unmaintained outliers still need to be fixed. * Downgrade is now explicitly avoided. ASDF will issue a warning if your system is misconfigured in a way that specifies downgrade, but will then ignore the specified ASDF downgrade. * version specifications, when invalid, will lead only to a warning for now; a future ASDF3 may restore the behavior of ASDF 2.27, that raises an errors when there is a bad :version specification, but for now, backward compatibility prevails. * ECL support received several bug fixes. * precompiled-system support was notably fixed, enabling single-fasl deployment of SBCL contribs. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today. — Lewis Carroll
