I don't seem to receive emails to the list by François-René Rideau

When I look at https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/ecl-devel/2018-August/thread.html I see 3 posts by him all in the thread "Oddities in ECL tests on Linux" .I haven't received any of them (they're not in spam either). Before this month last time he posted on the list was on 2016-12-27 with Message-ID: <CAN7nBXcjskn=J3oRJTBJVt1mJBY+DKVs-hFjOtTHtB0aoenp6w(a)mail.gmail.com> and I received that one (and previous emails by him). So the question is whether anyone else has the same problem. Spiros Bousbouras

Using a cl_object in Lisp
by Stewart M. 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

I am using CFFI with ECL to interface to a C++ library, which has a C++ class with a data member of type 'cl_object'. Simplified, my C++ code is: class LispObject { public: cl_object object; }; extern "C" cl_object getObject(LispObject* lo) { return lo->object; } extern "C" void setObject(LispObject* lo, cl_object clo) { lo->object = clo; } The full code is: https://common-lisp.net/viewvc/clive/trunk/src/extensions/corral/CliveCorra… Can I somehow declare the 'cl_object' type for the 'getValue()' and 'setValue()' functions using CFFI 'defcfun' to get and set ECL objects? Is there a technique using the lower-level FFI? I am looking for a way to do this without compiling C code embedded in Lisp, which I am aware ECL can do. Thank you for any ideas! -- Stewart Milberger Kavalogic, Inc.

how do you build the embed example
by blackthirt33n 28 May '18

How do you build the embed example "ecl-16.1.3\examples\embed" with the visual studio 2017 tools? I have no problem compiling running the Makefile in the msvc directory but the files up level are problematic. James

defstruct :predicate failure
by Peter Keller 09 May '18

09 May '18

Hello, I ran into a situation where I think ECL 16.1.3 has a bug in it: Linux violet > ecl ;;; Loading "/home/psilord/quicklisp/setup.lisp" ;;; Loading #P"/usr/local/lib/ecl-16.1.3/asdf.fas" ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 16.1.3 (git:UNKNOWN) Copyright (C) 1984 Taiichi Yuasa and Masami Hagiya Copyright (C) 1993 Giuseppe Attardi Copyright (C) 2000 Juan J. Garcia-Ripoll Copyright (C) 2016 Daniel Kochmanski ECL is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see file 'Copyright' for details. Type :h for Help. Top level in: #<process TOP-LEVEL>. > (defstruct (foo (:type vector) (:predicate nil)) qux bar) Condition of type: SIMPLE-ERROR NIL is an illegal structure predicate. Available restarts: 1. (RESTART-TOPLEVEL) Go back to Top-Level REPL. Broken at SI:BYTECODES. [Evaluation of: (SI:TOP-LEVEL T)] In: #<process TOP-LEVEL>. >> The clhs spec says: http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw70/CLHS/Body/m_defstr.htm most notably: ":predicate This option takes one argument, which specifies the name of the type predicate. If the argument is not supplied or if the option itself is not supplied, the name of the predicate is made by concatenating the name of the structure to the string "-P", interning the name in whatever package is current at the time defstruct is expanded. If the argument is provided and is nil, no predicate is defined. A predicate can be defined only if the structure is named; if :type is supplied and :named is not supplied, then :predicate must either be unsupplied or have the value nil. " In this case, :type is supplied, :named is not supplied, and therefore :predicate must either be unsupplied or have the value NIL. In my case, it has the value NIL. It appears to me that I have written legal CL, but ECL doesn't think so. Thank you! -pete

ASDF 3.3.2 released
by Robert Goldman 04 May '18

04 May '18

Dear Lisp implementors and maintainers, Today we release ASDF 3.3.2, the second bugfix release for the 3.3 release series. Of primary interest in this release are 1. Multiple fixes in handling misnamed (or "legacy-named," if you prefer) secondary systems ("foo-test" instead of "foo/test"). Thanks to Eric Timmons, there is also a similar fix for package-inferred-systems. 2. Fix an annoying warning message for compute-action-stamp. 3. Add support for the Mezzano implementation (thanks to E. Housel, H. Harrington). 4. Miscellaneous minor fixes and documentation tweaks. We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of ASDF -- and especially those bundling 3.3.0 or 3.3.1 -- to upgrade to 3.3.2 at their earliest convenience. Immense thanks, as always, to Fare Rideau. Also thanks to the many bug reporters and patch submitters (see the Changelog), and to Anton Vodonosov and Dave Cooper for help with testing. Here is the changelog entry for 3.3.2: cl-asdf (2:3.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low Bug fix release: * Dependency tracking: fix bugs in handling misnamed secondary systems. We now distinguish between "syntactic" and "semantic" primariness, properly warn in case a secondary system is misnamed, yet properly recompile or avoid spurious recompilation depending on whether there or not is a conflict or redefinition. Similarly handle package-inferred-system (thanks to Eric Timmons). Better warning in a fishy case of compute-action-stamp. * UIOP: Add package location information to define-package on SBCL. * Upgrade: fix issue with asdf/bundle. * Portability: add support for Mezzano (thanks to E. Housel, H. Harrington) * Documentation: add discussion of best practices. * Package-inferred system: Improve source file handling. * Test and documentation improvements. -- Francois-Rene Rideau <fare(a)tunes.org> Thu, 03 May 2018 22:46:19 -0400
