We think that [abcl-1.2.1][] represents the final release engineering work for the version available at ECLM 2013. A description of the [CHANGES] is included with the source. Upcoming in abcl-1.3.0: o per function call stack and memory exception handler in CL:COMPILE o further fixes in Quicklisp, q.v.

I understand that HG is generating them but I am having trouble recreating your state. What tools do you recommend? I understand that creating a huge class isn't a good Java practice and I'm happy to break it up but it was hard for me to figure out exactly what goes where according to your diffs. […] For any software development, open or not, coming to terms with "diffs" is a basic skill that has no "right answer" for the tools one uses. A "diff" is a standardized format, used by a variety of tools including most IDEs these days. But in the beginning there was the command line, so the first tools you should come to terms with are diff(1) and patch(1): cmd$ [[[clone repo into "./chemicalambda"]]] cmd$ cd chemicalambda cmd$ patch -p 1 < file-that-contains-the-diff.diff The "-p 1" strips the top-level of the hierarchy, and then patch reads the contents of stdin for changes to make. One will see either success or error messages in applying the diff. Re-do until you get the results you want, then deal with the changes in your own version control ecology. What I like about hg is that one can just directly import a diff into the repo: cmd$ hg import file-that-contains-the-diff.diff but git certainly has similar functionality, somewhere. I avoided a comprehensive understanding diffs for many years, much to my own detriment.

[armedbear-devel] bug: example java-to-lisp1 does not compile (ABCL 1.2.1)
by David Catteeuw 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hello, While experimenting with ABCL, i noticed that the example "java-to-lisp1" cannot be compiled using ABCL 1.2.1. It does compile using ABCL 1.1.1. The method "findPackage(String)" seems to have disappeared from "Packages" in the new release. java-to-lisp1$ javac -cp /Applications/Dev/abcl-1.1.1/abcl.jar:. *.java java-to-lisp1$ javac -cp /Applications/Dev/abcl-1.2.1/abcl.jar:. *.java MainAlternative.java:39: cannot find symbol symbol : method findPackage(java.lang.String) location: class org.armedbear.lisp.Packages Packages.findPackage("CL-USER"); ^ 1 error java-to-lisp1$ java version "1.6.0_51" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-10M4509) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode) java-to-lisp1$ javac -version javac 1.6.0_51 java-to-lisp1$ Kind regards, david.

Re: [armedbear-devel] threads:interrupt-thread
by Carlos Ungil 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hello Erik, I don't know how to debug java processes but I have an intuition about why those threads are not interrupted: they're never waiting. See the example below: an interruption scheduled for the interpreter thread is only executed when I put the thread to sleep (and if the garbage collector runs in the meantime it's lost). The reason why I cared about being able to interrupt the main thread was to run finalizers from there, to avoid concurrency issues in a foreign library. In the end I implemented an alternative solution using locks so I'm not really concerned about this problem anymore. Regards, Carlos CL-USER(1): (let ((main (threads:current-thread))) (threads:make-thread (lambda () (threads:interrupt-thread main (lambda () (print "Hi there!")))))) #<THREAD {3AF6EA95}> CL-USER(2): (* 2 2) 4 CL-USER(3): (sleep 1) "Hi there!" NIL CL-USER(4): (let ((main (threads:current-thread))) (threads:make-thread (lambda () (threads:interrupt-thread main (lambda () (print "Hi there!")))))) #<THREAD {CE5A31A}> CL-USER(5): (gc) 462843184 CL-USER(6): (sleep 1) NIL On 06/09/2013, at 21:49, Erik Huelsmann <ehuels(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Carlos, > > > is there a reason why interrupt-thread doesn't seem to run the requested function in some cases?

Frst of all, there's a problem with concurrency in your code: pushing into the *output* variable across threads isn't thread safe. The other reason for the code not being executed could be a bug: the code "checks manually" whether the thread interrupt has been invoked and executes the function(s) handed over. Maybe these threads land in loops that do not check this condition. > > (defvar *output*) > > > > (defun test-run () > > (setf *output* nil) > > (threads:mapcar-threads > > (lambda (thread) > > (push (format nil "~A : calling" thread) *output*) > > (threads:interrupt-thread thread > > (lambda () > > (push (format nil "~A : running" thread) *output*)))))) > > > > (defun test-report () > > (format t "~{~A~%~}" (reverse *output*))) > > > > Running in the command line: > > [snip] > > > > > I can understand that the thread "TEST-RUN" that I create to run the function might disappear before it gets to run the function as requested, or maybe the reason is that a thread can't interrupt itself by design...

[armedbear-devel] EXT:URL-PATHNAME vs http: as a logical pathname
by Karsten Poeck 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hello all, I am trying to compile cl-http on abcl. Mostly got it loading, but have some problems with abcls url-pathnames. Example: CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-version) "1.2.1" "Java_HotSpot(TM)_64-Bit_Server_VM-Apple_Inc.-1.6.0_51-b11-456-11M4508" "x86_64-Mac_OS_X-10.8.4" CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-type) "Armed Bear Common Lisp" CL-USER> (setf (logical-pathname-translations "http") '( ("port;**;*.*" "/Users/karstenpoeck/Documents/workspace/trunk/contrib/kpoeck/port-templa te/**/*.*") ("**;*.*" "/Users/karstenpoeck/Documents/workspace/trunk/**/*.*") ) ) ((#P"HTTP:PORT;**;*.*" #P"/Users/karstenpoeck/Documents/workspace/trunk/contrib/kpoeck/port-temp late/**/*.*") (#P"HTTP:**;*.*" #P"/Users/karstenpoeck/Documents/workspace/trunk/**/*.*")) ;;;; the problem is here CL-USER> (translate-logical-pathname "http:declaration.lisp") #P"http:" If I do the same with httpx: instead of http:, the code loads fine. The reason is probably the following. CL-USER> (type-of (pathname "http:declaration.lisp")) URL-PATHNAME Later starting up cl-hhtp i get: http:www;foo.html has a null authority. http:www;foo.html has a null authority. http:proxy-cache; has a null authority. http:pw;random-seed.lisp has a null authority. java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.net.www.ParseUtil.toURI(ParseUtil.java:261) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(HttpURLConnectio n.java:905) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(HttpURLConnection.jav a:836) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnect ion.java:1172) at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:1010) at org.armedbear.lisp.Pathname.getInputStream(Pathname.java:2369) .... I completely understand that it is desirable to have (load "http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp") working, but can't you check for "http://" or "https://" before converting a pathname to an url-pathname?

[armedbear-devel] Status of 1.2.0
by Erik Huelsmann 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi Mark, all, My own testing didn't reveal any notable problems, nor did the ANSI test suite. There are a few regressions in cl-test-grid which indicate our changes to symbol interning. My proposal is to go forward with the 1.2 release and release a bugfix as soon as we identify and fix the problem which the cl-colors tests indicate. What's your position? -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

[armedbear-devel] Desperate for a chance to hack with ABCL all day
by ubikation _ 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Greetings! As you may know from my ramblings I'm new to Common Lisp and ABCL in particular. I'm not an experienced coder but I'm really enjoying the time I'm spending becoming more familiar with ABCL/Slime/Emacs. Would anybody be interested in me working for them for a low ($15) hourly contract? I really am desperate for work and and a chance to prove myself. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I am happy to give more personal information for anybody who is interested.
