[armedbear-devel] RfC: Renaming LispObject.writeToString() to LispObject.printObject()
by Erik Huelsmann 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Yesterday, we fixed #154 -- the PRINT-OBJECT regression in 0.26.0. Once again, it turns out that our object printing and stringification routines are confusingly named. Additionally, they are also under documented: The writeToString() method calls toString(), but doesn't document the difference between the two. My idea would be to disambiguate the two functions by making writeToString() a java-side PRINT-OBJECT, renaming it to printObject() and documenting that's what it does. Then, probably, the lisp side function %write-to-string should be renamed to %print-object too. Probably, more adjustments are required throughout the code base, but those are probably at the 'implementation detail' level. So, what's your take on it? Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] Problems with making binary release?
by Mark Evenson 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Erik reported problems making a binary release yesterday on #abcl related to the presence of the version information in the "build/classes/org/armedbear/lisp/version" file. I did indeed change the build process to try to be smarter about needing to create this file by creating the 'abcl.stamp.version.uptodate' task to compare the date of this file to the corresponding class of Version.java. But I can't reproduce a problem here via various permutations of manually removing the file, updating the timestamps of various files via touch(1), etc. If someone can provide instructions to reproduce the error here, I will endeavor to fix it. Maybe this is a problem under MSFT Windows environments? P.S. In looking over the build.xml code, I notice that the use of setting the 'abcl.version' system property to override is slightly sub-optimal which I will fix as well. -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare to it now."

I've created the 0.26 release branch after updating CHANGES. If there are no further objections, I'll continue the release process by signing the release. It'd be very helpful if one of the other committers can update the webpages, as I won't have time to do that today or tomorrow. Bye, Erik.

[armedbear-devel] Spaces in pathnames (jar:file:/x/y/z/a space/...)
by Theam Yong Chew 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Dear ABCL developers, While ABCL can handle spaces (& others) in file pathnames just fine, a space in jar file pathnames still doesn't work. I have confirmed this on Linux, Mac and Windows. An example using Cygwin, $ java -jar abcl.jar Armed Bear Common Lisp 0.24.0 Java 1.6.0_20 Sun Microsystems Inc. Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM Low-level initialization completed in 0.625 seconds. Startup completed in 4.438 seconds. Type ":help" for a list of available commands. CL-USER(1): (load "jar:file:e:/My Dropbox/temp/a space/hello.jar!/hello.abcl") #<THREAD "interpreter" {9AC0F5}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type FILE-ERROR Failed to create URI from 'e:/My Dropbox/temp/a space/hello.jar': Illegal character in opaque part at index 10: file:e:/My Dropbox/temp/a space/hello.jar Restarts: 0: TOP-LEVEL Return to top level. (and yeah, this particular path already has a space character in "My Dropbox" along with my original intended "a space" folder) By the way, thanks for the :wildcard directory support (I've only just tested that, it works for me now!).

[armedbear-devel] ABCL Usage Problem
by Nishant Trivedi 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi All, We are trying to use ABCL for a project which requires a system coded in LISP to talk to another coded in JAVA. We are facing some issues and I would appreciate any help anyone can afford. For this project, I am using Windows 7 platform. I downloaded and built ABCL jar on my machine using ANT. I also setup the required system variables (JAVA_HOME, PATH and CLASSPATH). However, when I try to run the example code to call Java from Lisp ( as described at http://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/doc/abcl-user.html) I keep getting the following error in ABCL: #<THREAD "interpreter" {13BC30A}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type ERROR Class not found: Main I have also manually compiled the Main.java file and placed the ".class" in the same folder as the lisp file that calls it. I am able to get built-in Java classes like "int". At this point I am stuck and would appreciate if anyone can help me out with this issue. Thanks in advance. Regards, Nishant.

[armedbear-devel] MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT and JOBJECT-LISP-VALUE conceptual problem
by Mark Evenson 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Today, I spent a bit of time trying to figure out a way to efficiently compute message digest for Quicklisp. After confirming that java.security.MessageDigest implements the required digests, I noticed we didn't have a way to easily get at the underlying Java byte[] array in (SIMPLE-VECTOR (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8)). So, I patched the underlying Java code as attached, and wrote the following routine: (defun sha-256 (path) (let ((buffer (make-array 8192 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)) (digest (jstatic "getInstance" "java.security.MessageDigest" "SHA-256"))) (with-open-file (in path :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)) (loop :for bytes = (read-sequence buffer in) :while (plusp bytes) :do (jcall-raw "update" digest (make-immediate-object buffer) 0 bytes)) (jcall "digest" digest))))) But then I noticed that MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT calls JOBJECT-LISP-VALUE which makes no conceptual sense. The doc for MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT reads "[a]ttempts to coerce a given Lisp object into a java-object" while the doc JOBJECT-LISP-VALUE reads "Attempts to coerce JAVA-OBJECT into a Lisp object". This seems wrong here, but I don't understand how exactly. I think we need to distinguish three types of values here: JAVA-OBJECT, LispObject, and the "raw" value of the Java. How should we really structure our Java FFI here? With my patch, for an underlying lisp value of type (SIMPLE-VECTOR (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8)), both MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT and JOBJECT-LISP-OBJECT return the byte[] array. I would think that MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT should just do this, which JOBJECT-LISP-OBJECT should .... return an error if its argument isn't of type JAVA-OBJECT? I don't know. I am confused. Can someone help me understand the right way forward here? -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare to it now."

[armedbear-devel] ASDF-JAR contrib packages systems in jar files
by Mark Evenson 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

The ASDF-JAR contrib now packages up ASDF systems in jar archives. Comments and/or additional needs from this system are welcome. From the documentation: ASDF-JAR ======== Mark Evenson Created: 20-JUN-2011 Modified: 20-JUN-2011 ASDF-JAR provides a system for packaging ASDF systems into jar archives for ABCL. Given a running ABCL image with loadable ASDF systems the code in this package will recursively package all the required source and fasls in a jar archive . To install ASDF systems, [Quicklisp]() is probably the best contemporary solution, although a version of ASDF-INSTALL is also packaged in ABCL contribs. [Quicklisp]: http://www.quicklisp.org Once the requisite ASDF systems have been installed, ensure that this contrib is loaded via CL-USER) (require :abcl-contrib) CL-USER> (require :asdf-jar) Then, to say package the Perl regular expression system ("CL-PPCRE"), one uses the ASDF-JAR:PACKAGE as follows: CL-USER> (asdf-jar:package :cl-ppcre) ; Loading #P"/home/evenson/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/cl-ppcre-2.0.3/cl-ppcre.asd" ... ; Loaded #P"/home/evenson/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/cl-ppcre-2.0.3/cl-ppcre.asd" (0.029 seconds) Packaging ASDF definition of #<ASDF:SYSTEM "cl-ppcre"> as /var/tmp/cl-ppcre-all-2.0.3.jar. Packaging contents in /var/tmp/cl-ppcre-all-2.0.3.jar with recursive dependencies. #P"/var/tmp/cl-ppcre-all-2.0.3.jar" The resulting jar contains all source and fasls required to run the ASDF system including any transitive ASDF dependencies. Each asdf system is packaged under its own top level directory within the jar archive. The jar archive itself is numbered with the version of the system that was specified in the packaging. To load the system from the jar one needs to add the ASDF file locations to the ASDF *CENTRAL-REGISTRY*. If one wishes to load the fasls from the jar alone, one needs to tell ASDF not to override its output translation rules. The function ASDF-JAR:ADD-TO-JAR does both of these options serving as the basis for customized load strategies tailored to end-user deployment needs. So, after CL-USER> (asdf-jar:add-to-asdf "/var/tmp/cl-ppcre-all-2.0.3.jar") a subsequent CL-USER> (asdf:load-system :cl-ppcre) should load the ASDF system from the jar. Setting CL:*LOAD-VERBOSE* will allow one to verify that the subsequent load is indeed coming from the jar. -- "A screaming comes across the sky.

The listings-package might be useful for source code listings. At any rate, writing a macro for it manually would be just wrong. :) There are existing packages for that, let's use them, ok? On the choice of LaTeX, +1 high praise, I love it, although I've never used it much to generate html with proper links/frames and all. The little dabbling I've done seemed non-problematic, though, and the output on non-html in TeX has always been superior to anything I've tried.
