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

Pluggable external UI for abcl-stepper
by Alejandro Zamora Fonseca 18 Nov '23

18 Nov '23

Hi ABCL-ers :) I just sent a PR https://github.com/armedbear/abcl/pull/635 that allows to optionally define different UIs for the visualize and control stepping process of abcl-stepper. I also made an initial implementation to be used as a guide for more UI if someone else is interested https://gitlab.com/cl-projects/abcl-visual-stepper. This version uses HTMX <http://htmx.org> and websockets. The UI is not quite beautiful and it is still a work in progress allowing syntax highlighting in the browser and other little niceties to the stepper user. Probably someone with more UI/UX experience can make a better UI and can do it by using the generic functions defined in the stepper code and defining his own protocol. I believe this idea could be also generalized for other components of the system (inspector, debugger, REPL, etc) Any feedback is appreciated, Thanks Alejandro

ABCL working with openjdk21

Greetings, Bear fans. It seems that ABCL [works well with JDK21][1] without needing any changes. [1]: https://github.com/armedbear/abcl/actions/runs/6576709219/job/17866716581?p… -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before but there is nothing to compare to it now."

verifiyng the ABCL packages
by cage 21 Aug '23

21 Aug '23

Hi! Sorry if this question sounds trivial (likely it is) but how can I verify the packages downloaded on the ABCL website? I am able to download the signature file (*.asc) but I do not know how to find the public key to match the signature. ---------------- $ gpg --verify abcl-bin-1.9.2.tar.gz.asc gpg: assuming signed data in 'abcl-bin-1.9.2.tar.gz' gpg: Signature made Wed Jun 21 10:01:48 2023 CEST gpg: using DSA key 5491D207FF9ECDE0BEA277772A9641104DB1773D [...] gpg: Can't check signature: No public key ---------------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks in advance!

Question about wild-pathnames
by Robert Goldman 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

In SBCL and Allegro, it's possible for UIOP to create a pathname for a file whose name is "*" and then we can find a file with such a(n odd) pathname. On ABCL, though, this gives me an error: (truename (ensure-pathname "*")) ``` (truename (uiop:ensure-pathname "*")) #<THREAD "interpreter" native {21C91F12}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type FILE-ERROR Cannot find the TRUENAME for a wild pathname. ``` But actually, I don't think this *is* a wild pathname: ``` CL-USER(4): (describe (uiop:ensure-pathname "*")) #P"*" is an object of type PATHNAME: HOST NIL DEVICE NIL DIRECTORY NIL NAME "*" TYPE :UNSPECIFIC VERSION NIL ``` *this* is a wild pathname: ``` CL-USER(5): (describe (parse-namestring "*")) #P"*" is an object of type PATHNAME: HOST NIL DEVICE NIL DIRECTORY NIL NAME :WILD TYPE NIL VERSION NIL ``` Is this an ABCL bug, since it means ABCL cannot address a file whose name is "*"? The interested may refer to [this ASDF issue](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/-/issues/140) and the corresponding merge request. Thanks!

ABCL 1.9.2
by Mark Evenson 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABCL 1.9.2 FOR MIDSUMMER'S EVE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ On the threshold of the Northern Hemisphere's Midsummer's Eve, we unveil the second revision of the Tenth Edition of the Armed Bear Common Lisp implementation, viz. abcl-1.9.2. Most notably, we are pleased to present the fruits of Alejandro Zamora Fonseca's labors on an interpreted implementation of CL:STEP with the first release of the ABCL-STEPPER contrib. See <https://abcl.org/svn/tags/1.9.2/contrib/abcl-stepper/README.markdown> for more details. This implementation was the subject of his demonstration <https://zenodo.org/record/7815887> as this year's European Lisp Symposium. The POSIX-SYSCALLS contrib now provides the ability to set environment variables under UNIX systems <https://abcl.org/trac/changeset/15700>, as well as providing an example of how best to add abstract additional functionality to the core implementation. This release also features a substantially re-worked Gray Stream implementation which fixes enough our implementation to be a first class citizen of SLIME's usage. With the next release of SLIME, one will have to use abcl-1.9.2 in order to use the slime-repl. See <https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/765> for more details. The ASDF-JAR contrib has been restored to a usable functionality, which includes re-packaging of ASDF systems from within jar files as well as better abstraction for finding non-source artifacts. Please refer to <https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/abcl/abcl/-/blob/master/contrib/asdf-jar/REA…> for a refresher on what facilities ASDF-JAR provides for the aspiring ASDF packager. A complete list of changes may be viewed at <https://abcl.org/svn/tags/1.9.2/CHANGES>. The release itself is available at <https://abcl.org/releases/1.9.2/>. -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before but there is nothing to compare to it now."

Setting environment variables
by Scott L. Burson 25 May '23

25 May '23

Hi, I've been away from ABCL for some time, so I ask your indulgence in case I'm revisiting a familiar issue. I tried (SETF (UIOP:GETENV "foo") "value") and got Not (currently) implemented on ABCL: (SETF UIOP/OS:GETENV) On investigation, I see that the JVM doesn't normally support setting environment variables, but there are known ways to jimmy it into doing so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/318239/how-do-i-set-environment-variabl… Would a PR to add such a hack to ABCL be welcome, or should I just make it a local mod? Or is there another, recommended way of doing this? -- Scott
