[Asdf-devel] Registering preloaded systems for Quicklisp/ASDF
by Dave Cooper 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi, I know this has been discussed, but what is currently the best practice for registering a preloaded system after loading Quicklisp? That is, I have a pre-built image with some Quicklisp/ASDF systems in it, which were loaded through so-called monolithic-fasls (now known as compile-bundles). So the pre-built image doesn’t itself have ASDF or Quicklisp. A downstream user then loads Quicklisp and ASDF (I take steps to ensure that they are loading the matching version of ASDF and Quicklisp as was used to build the image). Now I need to do something to tell Quicklisp and ASDF that certain systems are already loaded in this image, so it won’t try to re-load them as depended-upon systems. In this specific case, I don't want it to try to fetch and reload Gendl when the user does (ql:quickload ...) on an application which :depends-on :gendl (because gendl is already built into this image). asdf/find-system:register-preloaded-system seems like it should be the answer if we’re talking about plain ASDF, because it will prevent ASDF from raising a “missing-component” error for the system in question, if some other system :depends-on it and yet no source code is found. But in my case I can’t guarantee that “no source code is found.” The source might be there in the quicklisp dist directory. So apparently I need something stronger than register-preloaded-system? Or something else? -- My Best, Dave Cooper

[Asdf-devel] ASDF does not signal deferred non-style warnings as an error
by Ilya Perminov 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi, ASDF does not raise an error, when the SBCL compiler produces warnings (e.g. "undefined variable", "undefined function"). Example: ======== test.asd ============= (defsystem :test :version "1.0" :components ((:file "test"))) ======== test.lisp ============ (defun foo () (+ a b)) =============================== (asdf:load-system :test) does not signal an error. I discovered this problem using SBCL, but I bet it can be reproduced on some other CL implementations that deffer warnings. The cause of the problem is that WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT may affect result values (warnings-p, and failure-p) of COMPILE-FILE. sbcl-help has a discussion of this WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT/COMPILE-FILE interaction: http://sourceforge.net/p/sbcl/mailman/message/32976990/ Regards, Ilya

The clisp test failure is a failure in the lisp-invocation library. I don't own that (still waiting for commit privileges), so I made the executive decision not to hold up ASDF release for it. I try to keep up on the latest *released* versions of lisp implementations, and there are some (SBCL, mkcl, and ABCL) where I'm more likely to be on the bleeding edge. With these exceptions, I limit myself to testing against versions available through Mac Ports and Ubuntu packages. I don't regard it as my job to build or test on pre-release versions of lisp implementations, although I'm certainly willing to provide support for those who wish to do so. Minimakefile is not in master yet, so it's not ready. I hope to work to get it into master, but I'm not sure how to test it. Since it's a development tool, it's not obvious how to test it.

I'm sure I must have this somewhere, but I don't know how to retrieve it. As for the Makefile line, it looks like it was mistakenly untabified. I changed that and re-pushed. Will you please try again? Thanks, r

[Asdf-devel] ASDF 3.1.4 released today
by Robert Goldman 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

This is a maintenance and bugfix release. There should be no incompatibilities, and many small fixes. The one new feature is an optional speedup to system search. Users who have large directory trees to search, and stable sets of systems, can build a system search cache that will substantially speed up finding and loading system definitions. Because this version does not cause compatibility issues, we strongly suggest that implementations move to replace 3.1.3 with 3.1.4. Thanks to Faré for many bug fixes, to Dave Cooper for testing, and all who reported bugs and provided patches. Best, R

[Asdf-devel] clisp test failure
by Robert P. Goldman 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Here's what RUN-PROGRAM gets for arguments: (RUN-PROGRAM '("/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/build/fasls/clisp-2.49-unix-x86_64/asdf/test/hello-world-example--all-systems.image" "-norc" "--quiet" "--quiet" "-ansi" "-I" "-on-error" "exit" "-x" "(uiop:restore-image :entry-point 'hello:entry-point :lisp-interaction nil)") ':OUTPUT ':LINES ':ERROR-OUTPUT 'T) 1. Trace: RUN-PROGRAM ==> ("[4]> hello, world"), NIL, 0 What happens at the command line agrees with that: $ /Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/build/fasls/clisp-2.49-unix-x86_64/asdf/test/hello-world-example--all-systems.image -norc --quiet -ansi -I -on-error exit -x "(uiop:restore-image :entry-point 'hello:entry-point :lisp-interaction nil)" [4]> hello, world Maybe the error is in UIOP:RESTORE-IMAGE: $ /Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/build/fasls/clisp-2.49-unix-x86_64/asdf/test/hello-world-example--all-systems.image -norc --quiet -ansi -I -on-error exit [1]> (hello:entry-point) hello, world T ...because just calling the entry-point function does not yield the "[4] >" prompt. Unfortunately, neither removing :lisp-interaction nil nor --quiet lets me see what's actually happening inside clisp here. By the way, the "-I" argument here means "be ilisp friendly." Removing this seems to give happier results: $ /Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/build/fasls/clisp-2.49-unix-x86_64/asdf/test/hello-world-example--all-systems.image -norc -ansi -on-error exit -x "(uiop:restore-image :entry-point 'hello:entry-point)" hello, world T Why is that argument there? And why is this working for you?

[Asdf-devel] Mac test update status
by Robert P. Goldman 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

The following tests were run last night (update tests still running): abcl allegro8_64 allegro8_64_s allegro_64 allegro_64_s allegromodern8_64 allegromodern8_64_s allegromodern_64 allegromodern_64_s ccl clisp cmucl ecl lispworks sbcl Two test failures: 1. the clisp test-program failure that we have been discussing, that Dave and I are seeing, and that Faré can't reproduce. More investigation required. 2. sbcl is failing test-retry-loading-component-1: Running test-retry-loading-component-1.script with sbcl-1.2.0-macosx-x64 ; loading #P"/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/test/test-retry-loading-component-1.script" TEST ABORTED: READ error during LOAD: :ASCII stream decoding error on #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/test/test-retry-loading-component-1.script" {100566ACA3}>: the octet sequence #(195) cannot be decoded. (in form starting at line: 8, column: 69, file-position: 241) This smells like a Unicode regression to me. Now, *ASDF* defaults to loading UTF-8 files, but our *script* files are just loaded any old way. "Déjà vu" is a terrible error message, anyway -- cute, but cryptic and unhelpful -- so I'm just going to kill it, rather than drive myself crazy trying to figure out how to load .script files as UTF-8 on every possible Lisp implementation.

clisp 2.49: test-program fails We have had a great deal of correspondence about this. mkcl from git failing. We have agreed with JCB that this should not be a blocker, since the test failures seem to be related to mkcl issues. Mac tests will run overnight.
