[asdf-devel] Alternate take on the intended use of component-property
by Dan Lentz 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

I was always under the impression that the intent of C-P was to provide a means of annotation primarily to be used at runtime by the ”end-user". For example, say if one were interested in some type of statistic, say SLOC, for comparison and analysis of a (possibly large) number of systems, One might conveniently calculate and store that value as the :SLOC property within each component while being visited, and then aggregate the result at some later time. Deprecating the expectation of standardized property access for use by the actual day-to-day developer working with asdf systems would seem to lead to a profusion of half-baked off the cuff "solutions" reimplemented each time such a need presents itself. Also, the property slot is a direct slot of component, very early in the hierarchy, and so is transparently inherited by each increasingly complex subclass of component on upwards through the class hierarchy. Are you saying that if one needs it then one should subclass component to include some property slot, and also then subclass module likewise, and then system also, etc? So to get this scratchpad working space means essentially one needs to reimplement the whole asdf class hierarchy? FWIW, I think there are many situations in which the component-property provides a more sensible facility than would ad-hoc archetypal extension of ASDF's fundamental object model. Am I misunderstanding the proposed changes? Regards, Dan.

[asdf-devel] component-property

Dear Red, I see that you're using component-property to add a website property to your .asd files. On the one hand, I am deprecating component-property in ASDF3, so you should stop using that. For the sake of backward-compatibility, I'll add dummy methods so your existing code keeps compiling, but they won't do anything if I can get away with it. On the other hand, now is a good time for me to add new slots to system objects. I will add a website slot in 2.26.171, though you'll have to #+asdf3 :website #+asdf3 "http://xxx" for now. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org The Keyboard is mightier than the Death Ray...

It's still time to have parse-component-form call a better validation function that does such checks, and otherwise have some &allow-other-keys mechanism.

[asdf-devel] API changes into ASDF 3
by Faré 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Dear all, is anyone of you using any of these functions from ASDF, ASDF-UTILS or XCVB-DRIVER ? I've removed them and here are the alternatives I am using. Since previous code didn't have any numbered release API, I will only provide compatibility trampolines if there is a declared user base. These symbols are gone since ASDF 2.26 and corresponding ASDF-UTILS, and here are the alternatives: orf => latest-stamp-f (compares timestamp, not just booleans) aif, it => if-let (compatible with alexandria) remove-keys => remove-plist-keys (compare with EQL, not STRING=) remove-keyword => remove-plist-key (more consistent and descriptive name) split-pathnames* => split-native-pathnames-string (naming makes clear it's native-namestrings, not namestrings) ensure-pathname-absolute => ensure-absolute-pathname (API much enhanced with different error behavior) resolve-relative-location-component => resolve-relative-location resolve-absolute-location-component => resolve-absolute-location Backward-compatible wrappers are already provided for the below deprecated functions with known users: coerce-pathname => parse-unix-namestring component-name-to-pathname-components => split-unix-namestring-directory-components compile-file-keeping-object => compile-file* >From XCVB-DRIVER and ASDF-CONDITION-CONTROL, these have been renamed as they moved to ASDF/DRIVER: run-program/ => run-program with-controlled-compiler-conditions => with-muffled-compiler-conditions with-controlled-loader-conditions => with-muffled-loader-conditions with-xcvb-compilation-unit => with-saved-deferred-warnings eval-string => eval-input bork => handle-fatal-condition *debugging* => *lisp-interaction* For ASDF itself, these interfaces have been removed, and here are their replacements. :if-component-dep-fails => :if-feature :do-first => :in-order-to (:do-first wouldn't actually work in ASDF 1; :in-order-to does the right thing in ASDF 3 for both previous :in-order-to and previous :do-first). make-sub-operation => find-operation asdf-binary-locations configuration => enable-asdf-binary-locations-compatibility (ABL worked with ASDF 1; this compatibility layer exists since ASDF 2 and still supported, actually enhanced, with ASDF 3) These ASDF internals have compatibility wrappers, but are deprecated: run-shell-command => asdf/driver:run-program (used by many clients) load-sysdef => load-asd (used by slime) make-temporary-package => (find-package :asdf-user) (used by slime) operation-error => define your own error class compile-error => compile-file-error compile-failed => compile-failed-error, compile-failed-warning compile-warned => compile-warned-error, compile-warned-warning operation-on-warnings => *compile-file-warnings-behaviour* operation-on-failure => *compile-file-failure-behaviour* system-definition-pathname => system-source-directory, system-relative-pathname (since ASDF 2) component-property => no replacement yet, working on it. make-instance 'some-op => either just 'some-op or (make-operation 'some-op) (make-instance operation still works for now but is deprecated) —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Skill without imagination is craftsmanship.

[asdf-devel] ASDF 3 news
by Faré 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Getting closer to release. The codebase is stable now, and I'm just making minor adjustments. Now at 2.26.164. I'm going to release 2.27 as soon as all tests pass on all implementations. The magic feature is #+asdf3, and 2.27 should be considered a pre-release. Hopefully by next month, after some testing, we can declare the next one to be ASDF 3.0. There were previously performance issues, with ASDF 2.26.152 being over 37 times slower than 2.26 at making a plan for iolib than it was before (3s vs .08s). After a day spent optimizing away a lot of truename queries and other pathname computations, ASDF is back at being 70% slower with default settings (while doing much more work behind the scene), and slightly faster if you disable all truename queries via (setf *resolve-symlinks* nil) -- but goodbye linkfarms if you do. After the last round of upgrade cleanups, hot upgrade now works without punting on recent versions of ABCL or CMUCL. But still not on CLISP. There seem to be various optimizations in CLISP FASLs that defeat everything I've tried so far except punting by renaming away the ASDF package as the very first thing. Many thanks to Stelian Ionescu, Stas Boukarev, Anton Vodonosov and Robert Goldman for their help with testing. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org You may easily play a joke on a man who likes to argue — agree with him. — Edgar Waston Howe

[asdf-devel] ASDF 3?
by Faré 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Many people have suggested making the ASDF 2.27 release an ASDF 3.0 release instead. I was previously hesitant, wanting to signal that I preserve compatibility, and not making it a release that doesn't preserve version-satisfies, since the major number is different. But I realize that (a) my code may be the only one that ever checks the version of ASDF, and I'm having to update it anyway, and (b) considering at the list of new features and the major rewrite of previous features, it's actually a bigger change in the making than there was from ASDF 1 to ASDF 2. Therefore I'm changing my mind and I am considering calling the next release ASDF 3, with feature :asdf3 instead of :asdf2.27. If you have objections, speak in the next few days. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org How can you find a person who loves you the way you are, if you constantly lie about who you are?

[asdf-devel] ASDF-USER ?
by Faré 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

I think the whole "temporary package" thing is a failure, and we should just have an ASDF-USER package that uses ASDF. Does anyone have any objection to having .asd files be loaded in a shared ASDF-USER rather than a temporary ASDF~D package? If you want to define your own private functions in their private namespace, there's defpackage for you. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org There are two types of people in the world: People who think there are two kinds of people, and people who don't.
