[asdf-devel] Various issues
by Tobias C Rittweiler 24 May '12

Hi there! Thanks to the ASDF maintainers. I just visited ASDF's website on common-lisp.net since a long time, and it makes a nicely maintained impression! Well done. I have the following issues: * The rather old ASDF version that I'm using ("2.010") does not seem to be able to cope with multiple :depends-on clauses. (Only one clause seems to be used.) Is this intended behaviour? Might it be fixed in more recent versions? * :STATIC-FILE (and :FILE for that matter) are not discussed or explained in the manual. * We generate a 'version.lisp' with a (DEFPARAMETER ...) form in it when using "make" to build a Lisp binary using buildapp. Is there a component that loads a file if it exists and if it does not exist just skips the clause? Thanks, T

[asdf-devel] asdf-bundle
by Faré 18 May '12

asdf-bundle is now working (hopefully) on SBCL and CCL as well as ECL, by concatenating fasls. It won't work for systems where CFFI creates .so. Try it! (require :asdf) (require :asdf-bundle) (asdf:oos 'asdf::load-fasl-op :your-favorite-system) It creates a your-favorite-system.system.fasl in the fasl cache. Actually, I'm not sure about ECL anymore - load-fasl-op fails at the last minute (after the fasl-op itself) because it tries doing something with a .fasb even though I didn't enable the bytecode compiler. Since I leveraged that part of the code from asdf's asdf-ecl.lisp, I suspect it is broken there already. Juanjo: can you give a look when you have time? Others: you're welcome to contribute support for your favorite implementations. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Don't have good ideas if you aren't willing to be responsible for them. — Alan Perlis

I tested on the following lisps ccl clisp sbcl ecl abcl allegro allegromodern with success. Haven't tried on CMUCL yet, because of prior problems. I will see about picking up a snapshot sometime.

[asdf-devel] lisp source debugger
by Yuan Luo 12 May '12

Hi, This maybe an irrelevant question, if so, please point me to the best list to ask. But I am wondering whether you guys can recommend some source level debugger that can POINT ME PRECISELY to where the error was. For example, Allegro CL cannot because many times it tells me that there is an error in a function, but it doesn't tell me which line even if I set their debug flag to 3 the highest level and suppressed everything else, speed, optimization etc. (my function has hundreds of lines then I am frustrated ...) Best, Yuan

[asdf-devel] :default-component-class and custom module classes
by Nikodemus Siivola 07 May '12

07 May '12

I was trying to make a custom module class, which would have provided its own :DEFAULT-COMPONENT-CLASS via :DEFAULT-INITARGS, but (setf (module-default-component-class ret) (or default-component-class (and (typep parent 'module) (module-default-component-class parent)))) means that does work as I hoped it would. The closest I can get is by overriding ASDF::MODULE-DEFAULT-COMPONENT-CLASS method, but that seems fairly icky. Is there a better way? Cheers, -- Nikodemus

[asdf-devel] Reloading a .asd
by Stelian Ionescu 06 May '12

06 May '12

I'm using the elisp snippet below(courtesy of Stas Boukarev with some modifications) to reload a .asd file. Is asdf::load-sysdef the best way to trigger a reload(but not recompilation) ? Use case: I want to work on a system that isn't in the ASDF path, it being one of the many development trees I have around(e.g. CFFI), so I want to be able to say that "this cffi.asd is the CFFI to use during this session". Any ideas ? (defvar slime-custom-file-loaders '(("asd" . slime-load-asdf) ("lisp" . slime-load-file))) (defun slime-load-asdf (filename) (slime-eval-with-transcript `(asdf::load-sysdef ,(file-name-sans-extension filename) ,(slime-to-lisp-filename (expand-file-name filename))))) (defun slime-custom-load-file () (interactive) (unless buffer-file-name (error "Buffer %s is not associated with a file." (buffer-name))) (check-parens) (when (and (buffer-modified-p) (y-or-n-p (format "Save file %s? " (buffer-file-name)))) (save-buffer)) (let* ((type (file-name-extension buffer-file-name)) (loader (cdr (assoc-string type slime-custom-file-loaders t)))) (funcall (or loader 'slime-load-file) buffer-file-name))) (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-l") 'slime-custom-load-file) -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib
