Package: cl-swank Version: 1:20070409-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch To demonstrate: * Start cmucl in a window. * Say to Lisp: (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp") * Say to Lisp `(create-server)'. * Start Emacs. * Say to Emacs `M-x slime-connect RET RET RET'. * Play about in both to show they've connected. * Say to Emacs `, disconnect RET'. * Lisp says: Help! 12 nested errors. KERNEL:*MAXIMUM-ERROR-DEPTH* exceeded. Debug (type H for help) (LISP::DO-OUTPUT #<Stream for descriptor 6> #.(SYSTEM:INT-SAP #xB7F8A000) 0 3055 ...) and refuses to cooperate further. It won't listen to C-c, C-z, C-\ or any other obvious signals; saying `killall lisp' in another shell works OK. This is obviously hopeless for connecting Slime to some long-running server, fixing something, and disconnecting again. To fix the problem (apparently): --- /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank.lisp 2007-05-31 21:49:06.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/mwooding/swank.lisp 2007-07-19 14:46:46.000000000 +0100 @@ -617,7 +617,7 @@ (connection.socket-io *emacs-connection*)) (defun close-connection (c &optional condition backtrace) - (format *debug-io* "~&;; swank:close-connection: ~A~%" condition) +;; (format *debug-io* "~&;; swank:close-connection: ~A~%" condition) (let ((cleanup (connection.cleanup c))) (when cleanup (funcall cleanup c))) In case it's interesting, I'm using cmucl 19d-20061116-2. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cl-swank depends on: ii common-lisp-controller 6.10 This is a Common Lisp source and c cl-swank recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
