A few basic Lisp commands while in debugger (gdb)?
by PR 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi, I remember vaguely that there have been added a few useful, simple functions for Lisp, which can be used during a gdb session, but I can't currently find them... Could anybody please point me to them? Thanks, Paul P.S. This would probably help debugging an android thread issue, happening only on a few recent devices; at least I already figured how to run gdbserver on android, and debug from the PC.

undefined function hook
by yaroe＠free.fr 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

Hello ! I'm looking for the equivalent for ECL of the SBCL compiler function sb-c::ir1-convert that transform a form to intemediary reresentation (level 1). Also the equivalent if SBCL interpreter function sb-int::simple-eval-in-lexenv I want to plug in some code for the case of undefined functions and undefined free variable. Thanks you for your attention !

Broken link in _Lisp (ECL) and QML (Qt5) on Android?_
by pdoherty 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

Hi all, I'm new here, so apologies if this is not the proper forum for the following report. I was just reading the post, [Lisp (ECL) and QML (Qt5) on Android?](https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/posts/Lisp-ECL-and-QML-Qt5-on…, and noticed that the link to README-PREPARE.txt is broken. The link should (probably) point to: https://gitlab.com/eql/EQL5-Android/blob/master/README-PREPARE.md (It would appear that the file's extension was changed at some point.) Best, PRD

ASDF 3.1.1 is released
by Robert Goldman 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Here is the announcement. Because this fixes a backwards-compatibility bug, we strongly encourage you to replace 3.3.0 with 3.3.1 in your implementations. Best regards, Robert Today we release ASDF 3.3.1, the first bugfix release for the 3.3.0 release series. Of primary interest in this release are 1. a fix for an incompatibility in the UIOP stamp-comparison functions. The handling of infinity as a bound in these functions changed between 3.2 and 3.3, potentially causing problems in backward compatibility. In order to maintain compatibility, the old behavior was restored to the stamp-comparison functions, and new functions -- TIMEstamp comparison functions -- were added to carry the new behaviors. 2. a fix for upgrade from version 3.2.1 3. fixes for bugs that can occur when the default readtable is manipulated inside a dependency loaded by DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON. We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of ASDF -- and especially those bundling 3.3.0 -- to upgrade to 3.3.1 at their earliest convenience. Here is the changelog entry for 3.3.1: cl-asdf (2:3.3.167-1) unstable; urgency=low New milestone: * UIOP compatibility fix: Introduced new replacement "timestamp" comparison functions, because of inadvertent change in the API. Functions that are compatible with the old semantics are retained as "stamp" comparison functions, but will eventually be deprecated. * Upgrade fix: Upgrade from 3.2.1 needed repair. * Syntax manipulation: Fix for bugs that could be introduced when the default readtable was manipulated during the loading of a defsystem-depends-on system. * Tests: tests for new capabilities and bugs * Documentation: a number of improvements and clarifications.

ASDF 3.3 is released
by Robert Goldman 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

Today we release ASDF 3.3. The most substantial change is to the build planning process, which has been reformed by François-René Rideau so that DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON now behaves correctly. There are a number of other improvements, and we are indebted to Daniel Kochmanski, Rommel Martinez, and Chun Tian for contributions. Thanks again to Anton Vodonosov and Dave Cooper for support in testing, and new thanks to Martti Halminen, Jens K. Loewe, and Jason Miller. I would like to dedicate this ASDF release to the late Elias Pipping. On a technical level, Elias made great improvements in some of the most challenging ASDF internals, notably the RUN-PROGRAM component of UIOP, a place where implementations are not constrained by the language specification, diverge radically from each other, and are poorly documented. On a personal level, Elias was very supportive to me as ASDF maintainer, and while I was going through an illness. He did all these things despite being gravely ill with the cancer that eventually killed him. He will be greatly missed, Z'chrono L'vracha. We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of ASDF to adopt 3.3.0 at their earliest convenience. The improvements offered in this release will substantially improved the reliability and predictability of ASDF use. Details on bugfixes can be found at https://launchpad.net/asdf and in the discussions in merged branches of https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf Here is the changelog entry for 3.3: cl-asdf (2:3.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low New milestone: * Build-plan: Extensively revised the build plan process so that :DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON would work correctly, even when depended on systems change (which didn't work before). See our ELS demonstration about it: "Delivering Common Lisp Applications with ASDF 3.3" < https://github.com/fare/asdf2017 > * Internals: to support the above, many ASDF internals have changed. ASDF now has the notion of multiple build phases to a common build session (which generalizes the previous build cache). ASDF considers loading a .asd file as an operation DEFINE-OP, and tracks as dependencies files mentioned during in :LOAD-FILE-FORM statements, etc. Some code has moved to new files or among old files, and between packages. Actions are now uniformly represented as a CONS of an OPERATION and a COMPONENT, where in some cases previously only the class of the operation was preserved. Forcing is constrained to be uniform across all phases of a top level ASDF operation invocation. Fixed the protocol for resetting systems being (re)defined, allowing subclasses to define default slot values. Remove *LOAD-SYSTEM-OPERATION*, as the current maintainer of ECL, for which it was originally designed, decided that it could never be made to work properly, after all. * ASDF&UIOP: Tweak dependencies between ASDF and UIOP. To avoid DEFINE-OP circularity, asdf.asd with no longer causes uiop.asd to be loaded. A standalone UIOP won't be loaded at all unless it's strictly more recent than ASDF. * Tests: tests for new capabilities and bugs. Test backtraces can be disabled. * Documentation: a number of improvements and clarifications. * Feature: a new feature :asdf3.3 * ECL: restored the deprecated function MAKE-BUILD, removed in 3.2.0, in a way that works on top of supported APIs (we still recommend you migrate to these supported APIs). Also stop using the deprecated COMPUTE-INIT-NAME. * Deprecation: starting to emit STYLE-WARNINGs for deprecated functions. Will gradually escalate to true WARNINGs and then ERRORs. -- Robert P.

Help.doc loading in Binary
by John Mercouris 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hello everyone, I’m running ECL + EQL 16.1.3, Mac OS High Sierra I can produce a binary with ECL, but I have an issue, when I try to run it on anybody’s computer: I get the following: ------------------------------------------------------ Condition of type: FILE-ERROR Filesystem error with pathname “SYS:help.doc”. Either 1) the file does not exist, or 2) we are not allowed to access the file, or 3) the pathname points to a broken symbolic link. No restarts available. Top level in: #<process TOP-LEVEL>. > ------------------------------------------------------ I’ve determined that the cause of this error is a file missing at: /usr/local/lib/ecl-16.1.3/help.doc I’ve been able to get binary files to work on other people’s machines by copying the help.doc file to the appropriate dir. Unfortunately this is not a practical solution for distribution. Is there any way to tell ECL to not attempt to load this file? Any patch I can apply to the source? Thanks, -John
