reassign 517167 cl-swank found 517167 1:20090217-1 thanks Hi there! Cc:ing the slime-devel@ mailing list, since I think there is a misinterpretation about the function you use. On Thu, 26 Feb 2009 06:49:48 +0100, A.W. wrote:

Package: slime

The bug is not in the slime package, but in the cl-swank one, reassigned.

Version: 1:20090217

This is not a proper Debian version, which is always in the form $UPSTREAM_VERSION-$DEBIAN_REVISION For the next time, can you please submit bugs using the reportbug tool, as explained in the following link? http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting This also helps the environment in which you have experienced the bug, e.g. versions of other dependendent packages and so on.

Starting a new swank server with the following code

(require 'asdf)

This is not needed since ASDF is loaded by default on Debian Common Lisp implementations.

(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'swank)

This works as expected.

;Specifically, this line\/

What does this mean?

(swank:start-server :dont-close t)

results in the following error:

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {AA6A649}>: odd number of &KEY arguments

Are you sure that `start-server' is intended to be used from a CL implementation? The source code seems to disagree with this use: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun start-server (port-file &key (style *communication-style*) (dont-close *dont-close*) (coding-system *coding-system*)) "Start the server and write the listen port number to PORT-FILE. This is the entry point for Emacs." (setup-server 0 (lambda (port) (announce-server-port port-file port)) style dont-close (find-external-format-or-lose coding-system))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Leaving the rest of your mail for the slime-devel@ mailing list.

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(SWANK:START-SERVER :DONT-CLOSE)[:EXTERNAL]

A longer backtrace when trying to load the same code from stumpwm via stumpwm-mode, though I think all relevant information is the same:

I don't have any suggestions at the moment, though perhaps the upstream slime will have a fix soon. It's possible that this is an sbcl bug, but what research I'm able to do points me to slime/swank.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux Sid, updated.
