why does ASDF ask to please only define system/test?
by Mark H. David 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

It seems that any system Y associated with a name X must have its name be of the form X/Y. For example, when you build "cl-ppcre", you get this warning: Please only define "cl-ppcre" and secondary systems with a name starting with "cl-ppcre/" (e.g. "cl-ppcre/test") in that file. I've seen this complaint for quite a few systems already. What's the need for this, and is it really worth nagging users of all these systems that have existed in many cases for years and have worked perfectly well without following the new convention? What great functionality are we getting for this? Thanks, -Mark

Timing compilation
by Didier Verna 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

Hello, I would like to collect information about the time it takes to compile an ASDF system (possibly also load it), dependencies excluded. I'm thinking there's probably a way to do this by :around'ing compile-op, or something like that, but if someone already has a clear view on how to make this happen, I'd be grateful for the time spared! Thanks. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated. Lisp, Jazz, Aïkido: http://www.didierverna.info

Re: ASDF 3 on WIn 10 doesn't find component

Can you tell us what version of asdf you have? `(asdf:asdf-version)`? Will you please also report what `user-homedir-pathname` returns? It should be the parent of your `common-lisp` directory (I.e., the same as the value of `%LOCALAPPDATA%`; if not, we have found your problem. If so, we need to look further.

Oddities in ECL tests on Linux
by Robert Goldman 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

My Jenkins job is failing to test ECL successfully. What's interesting is that it looks like the tests are successful, but the checker is failing. Here's what I see in the transcript: These two expressions fail comparison with EQUAL: (UIOP/UTILITY:NEST (LISP-INVOCATION/LISP-INVOCATION:INVOKE-LISP :IMPLEMENTATION-TYPE (LISP-INVOCATION/ALLEGRO-VARIANTS:CURRENT-LISP-VARIANT) :CROSS-COMPILE NIL :IMAGE-PATH (UIOP/FILESYSTEM:NATIVE-NAMESTRING ASDF-TEST::IMG) :CONSOLE T :EVAL "(uiop:restore-image :entry-point 'hello:entry-point :lisp-interaction nil)" :RUN-PROGRAM-ARGS '(:OUTPUT :LINES :ERROR-OUTPUT T))) evaluates to ("No restarts available." "" "Top level in: #<process TOP-LEVEL>." "> ") '("hello, world") evaluates to ("hello, world") Oddly, when I try to run this at the command line, ECL throws to the interactive debugger on various signals and I have to restart it, before make test l=ecl will terminate successfully. I think I have seen this before, and it may be that ECL implicitly assumes that there will be some kind of C compilation tool chain present that I don't have, but I'm not sure about that. Suggestions for debugging would be welcom.

I recommend trying out a newer > version > of ecl (16.1.3 or the current develop branch from the git repository). I see your point, but have two comments: 1. If this really *is* an ECL bug, then shouldn't the Ubuntu package be updated and fixed? ASDF is supposed to work on the ECL that users will have, not only on the one that developers have. 2. I don't see a way to get a new ECL except by pulling from Gitlab and building. I do not have the time to run around building all available lisp implementations from source (and, again, ASDF should work on the versions of the implementations that users actually have, which means the ones provided by the packaging systems on the platforms). I build only SBCL, because that's an implementation I build anyway, for my work needs. Faré had the energy to play with all the different implementations in a substantial way, but I do not. So if the released version of an implementation is broken, I will simply regard that implementation as broken. If the *released version* of an implementation is broken for long enough (I'm looking at you, clisp), it will become unsupported by ASDF. Unsupported means "patches will be accepted, but I will no longer run the tests, and test failure on an unsupported implementation will not be a reason to hold up an ASDF release." Note that at the moment *all* implementations are essentially unsupported on Windows, since I have lost my Windows VM, and even if I got it back, I would have no way to develop on Windows. If you are a Windows user and this bothers you, I would be happy to support you in setting up a test environment, and even more happy to help you learn to patch ASDF. But even someone who doesn't want to patch ASDF, but who would be willing to run the test suite (or help figure out how it could be run through, e.g., Travis), would be a great help. > > Am 30.08.2018 um 21:51 schrieb Robert Goldman: >> I'm experimenting with your changes now but, for some reason that I >> don't understand, when I run the tests as |make l=ecl| interactively >> on >> Ubuntu (using the Ubuntu ECL package |16.1.2-3|), signals are >> throwing >> me into the interactive debugger, instead of being caught.

bootstrapping asdf
by Faré 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

In case anyone takes over maintenance of ASDF in the future, I wrote this mind dump on some of its more stuble "magic" behavior: https://fare.livejournal.com/190738.html Thanks to Eric Timmons for the prompting... PS: there are relatedly a few bug fixes in 3.3.2.5 — thanks and congratulations again to Robert Goldman for his careful reviewing and testing. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org It is deplorable that many people think that the best way to improve the world is to forbid something. However, they're morally more advanced than the people who think the best way to improve the world is to kill somebody. — John McCarthy

Is anyone actually using the deferred warnings code?
by Robert Goldman 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

AFAICT, it is disabled by default, and it is not documented in the ASDF manual. So is this code even live, except for in the test scripts? It was pretty painful to get this to work because it relies on unexported (and hence unstable) SBCL internals. My *guess* is that this was originally done as a way to dispense with `WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT` and hence potentially parallelize the compilations. If no one is even using it, I am tempted to move it to be a contrib and drop it from the tests and maintenance as part of core ASDF. Maybe it would be better as a part of a POIU extension to ASDF, and relieve me of dealing with these SBCL compiler internals? Cheers, r

Sorry *again*. My history fixing was done wrong initially. But 3.2.3.3 should be in place fine now. Best, r

A little history rewriting...
by Robert Goldman 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Sorry -- I accidentally pushed tag 3.3.3.3 instead of 3.3.2.3. I have fixed that, but it involved deleting the tag from cl.net gitlab after having pushed it. Apologies and thanks to Fare for catching my mistake! R
