[asdf-devel] Retest
by Robert P. Goldman 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Now all tests pass on Linux for me (but I'm not testing ABCL there). ABCL on the Mac fails test-stamp-propagation: TEST ABORTED: These two expressions fail comparison with EQUAL: (SANITIZE-LOG (RELOAD ASDF/DEFSYSTEM:DEFSYSTEM)) evaluates to ((:COMPILING :SYSTEM)) (QUOTE ((:COMPILING :SYSTEM) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE2) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE2))) evaluates to ((:COMPILING :SYSTEM) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE2) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE2)) Above backtrace due to this condition: These two expressions fail comparison with EQUAL: (ASDF-TEST::SANITIZE-LOG (ASDF-TEST::RELOAD ASDF/DEFSYSTEM:DEFSYSTEM)) evaluates to ((:COMPILING :SYSTEM)) (QUOTE ((:COMPILING :SYSTEM) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE2) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE2))) evaluates to ((:COMPILING :SYSTEM) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE1) (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :FILE2) (:LOAD-TOPLEVEL :FILE2)) Script failed Using abcl, test-stamp-propagation.script failed Does this work on Linux? cheers, r

[asdf-devel] Trying to get ASDF tests (especially uiop:run-program) on Windows (Allegro CL, CCL) cleaned up before 3.0.3 release
by Dave Cooper 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Starting a new thread, but in due course we should keep Fare's most recent words from previous thread in mind for expanding the test suite for uiop:run-program: Fare wrote: Ideally there would a test that includes all printable ASCII > characters and ensures that quoting works alright, with either a list > or string argument (beware quoting when generating the string). Anyway, here is what I'm seeing currently (with an unpatched 3.0.2.7): Allegro 9.0: ========= Running the test script from cygwin brings up an Allegro CL Console which immediately displays the following error: ==== An unhandled error occurred during initialization: An error occurred (Attempt to take the value of the unbound variable `|"TEST/SCRIPT-SUPPORT.LISP"|'.) during the reading or evaluation of -e "(or #.(load \\\"test/script-support.lisp\\\") #.(asdf-test::compile-asdf-script))" <The Lisp process exited with status -1 (0xffffffff)> ==== So the -e argument is not making it properly into the Allegro, and it looks like something has to be updated in the test script just to get Allegro/Windows to start running the tests. Would anyone from Franz Support care to have a look at this? I did confirm that normal programs can be run with Allegro's excl:run-shell-command without the need for "cmd /c" prepended. CCL 1.9 ======= asdf test results for (unpatched) 3.0.2.7 are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jc2cqwpkp06dupm/tx0U1Fun65/cl/tests/asdf/output/… Note that the first failure, for the bundle-test, is a known bug in ccl:fasl-concatenate in CCL 1.9 for Windows, and has been fixed in the trunk for CCL 1.10. The second failure just looks like the extra space after the "ok 1" as we were seeing before. Perhaps this is also a CCL issue? Can anyone from Clozure comment on this? Also, I think I confirmed that CCL's ccl:run-program on Windows really does need the "cmd /c " prepended to be able to run a normal program. Currently the uiop:run-program is doing (cons "cmd" (strcat "/c " command)) for commands given as a single string, but it does not prepend anything for commands given as a list. There was previous opinion that the list form of the command should not automatically get the ("cmd" "c/") prepended. But from what I can tell, the user will always have to do (uiop:run-program (append '("cmd" "/c") command) if user wants to give command as a list. If that's the case, then for consistent interface of uiop:run-program across different Lisps, shouldn't uiop:run-program go ahead and do that appending by default? SBCL ===== Sorry, I'm not running SBCL on Windows at the moment. Anyone? Get with me if you can use some guidance getting the ASDF test scripts running. LispWorks ======== I don't have LWW at this juncture. Anyone? ABCL, ECL, CLISP, GCL (who am I forgetting?) ====================================== Anyone running these on Windows and willing to run some ASDF testing scripts (probably through cygwin)? Get with me if you want some guidance and/or moral support. Regards, Dave

[asdf-devel] deferred warnings doesn't tell which file
by Attila Lendvai 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

hi! so, i'm using deferred warnings, because warnings are useful! the only problem is that, in this specific case, i get the following after compilation has finished: ; compilation finished in 0:00:00.033 ; in: LAMBDA (SB-PCL::.METHOD-ARGS. SB-PCL::.NEXT-METHODS.) ; (SB-MOP:SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS # HU.DWIM.PEREC::INSTANCE ...) ; ; caught WARNING: ; undefined variable: HU.DWIM.PEREC::INSTANCE ; ; compilation unit finished ; Undefined variable: ; HU.DWIM.PEREC::INSTANCE ; caught 1 WARNING condition ; ; compilation unit aborted ; caught 4 fatal ERROR conditions and it doesn't even tell which file it happened with. (this error comes from the depths of sbcl internals around generic methods). how was it meant to work originally? is it assumed that the warning will always contain a name or something that helps identifying where it comes from? if so, then it's not always the case, and when warnings are not deferred at least the current toplevel form is visible in the output. note: this is not a showstopper just an inconvenience. i can identify the file by checking the *.sbcl-warnings files manually. -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “Here is the world.

[asdf-devel] Pushed manual cleanups
by Robert P. Goldman 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I have pushed what I hope are substantial improvements to the ASDF manual, at least to the early parts of it. Faré: is it easily possible to push this to the web page using your makefile? Cheers, r

[asdf-devel] ASDF
by Faré 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I suppose it would be better to release 3.0.3 without merging my branches, and merge my branches afterwards. On the other hand, there are a few bugs I fixed in my run-program branch, independently from the new functionality, that I'd like to commit in the master branch before the release, with your permission: * the external-format bug in with-temporary-file is shameful. Sorry. * the stdin / stdout / stderr initialization is better, and allows run-program to work at all on ECL when in SLIME (or in many other cases). * the slight changes in external-format defaults (from :default to utf-8) should be done earlier rather than later (for increased consistency) * the new docstrings are also merge-worthy. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.

[asdf-devel] 3.1.0.75 pushed: more checking of system names
by Robert P. Goldman 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

This is a repair of last night's commit. I added a test for the new system name checks, which had some fan-out -- I needed to fix DEF-TEST-SYSTEM to permit systems named with strings instead of symbols. Also, I check to make sure that all the system names, when being registered, are case-flattened down, and issue a continuable error if not. cheers, r

[asdf-devel] How should ASDF return cached system definition information
by Robert P. Goldman 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

The latest version of ASDF contains three functions: SYSTEM-DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON SYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON and SYSTEM-WEAKLY-DEPENDS-ON that return information about defined systems. The intention is to support introspection about sets of systems (I believe Quicklisp does this today). Currently, ASDF does *not* put the return values into canonical form. So, equivalent forms like :depends-on (foo) and :depends-on ("foo") will yield different return values. Similarly, :version specifications will not be resolved. This seems wrong to me. I feel that the return values should be canonicalized. So all system names should be resolved down to lower-cased strings. Does that sound like the right approach? It would support performing inference on the systems relatively straightforwardly. I can't imagine why people would want the exact, literal slot initforms, but I could be wrong. R

[asdf-devel] Reader conditionals in :depends-on considered harmful?
by Dave Cooper 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, Is stuff like the following advised/recommended? ;;;;; (asdf:defsystem #:robot :description "The Gendl™ Simplified Android Robot example " ... :depends-on (#-gendl :gendl) ... ) ;;;;;; The scenario is that we ship a pre-built Gendl image which has no asdf or Quicklisp in it (but does, of course, have :gendl included in *features). Downstream user is then free to load Quicklisp and start pulling in libraries. But if they pull a library (or application, like :robot), which normally should depend-on :gendl, then we don't want it trying to reload the whole gendl system, since it's already built in. I know this was discussed here briefly around the launch of 3.0.3 but I'm still not completely clear on how it should work. If we don't include ASDF and Quicklisp at all in our pre-built image, then I don't see any way for us to tamper with e.g. asdf's registry search functions. I guess the only way to do that would be to provide a custom function for installing Quicklisp and ASDF -- but we have no guarantee that the user will actually follow our function and not simply try to install Quicklisp according to the instructions at quicklisp.org. -- My Best, Dave Cooper, Genworks Support david.cooper(a)genworks.com, dave.genworks.com(skype)

[asdf-devel] Volunteer for LispWorks testing?
by Robert Goldman 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Does anyone have a paid license to LispWorks that they would be willing to use to test our periodic ASDF updates? Alternatively, does anyone have a contact at LispWorks who might be willing to let me have an ASDF-only test version? What I would need is a copy of LW that would start up from the command-line, so that I could run our test scripts. I would be willing to sign a contract promising not to use it for other purposes. Such a copy would have to run on MacOS X and/or linux (I don't have access to Windows, nor am I interested in mastering it again). Thanks! Robert
