Hi, As I checked with the top-level repl, si::*break-level* is already 1. If I eval (let ((si::*break-level* 1)) (si::tpl)) in the slime buffer, it won't abort connection anymore. But I lose the capability of using SLIME's debugging buffer. The errors will be directly dumped to the top-level.
Another question, possibly unrelated: I'm trying to hook up C++ callbacks with lambda func. But when I issue cl_funcall in the C++ side, any error in the execution of the lambda func will abort the execution of the program. Is there any workaround? Or should I use an alternate routine instead of cl_funcall to make it "safe"?
Thanks, Bruce

Hello,
if you call lisp forms from C code (after cl_boot), then you have no set handler, so if your code signals a condition, then it goes uncought. If that's a case, you could do something, what toplevel does (setting handlers etc), or set si::*break-level* to 1 and call tpl:
(let ((si::*break-level* 1)) (si::tpl))
this should spawn toplevel console and won't exit. If you want to set proper handler consult src/lsp/tpl.lsp file in ECL sourcecode.
Regards, Daniel

Hi, there, I'm pretty new to ECL. I'm currently considering embedding ECL in a game engine. When I interactively interrupt the program and drop into the repl, I load up swank with quicklisp and create swank server with (swank:create-server :port 4005). I can connect to it from SLIME. But any error in the statement, either by deliberately typing sth wrong, will cause swank server to close instead of dropping into the debugging environment. I have no idea why this happens. It turns out that if I start swank on a different thread with mp:process-run-function, it goes well. But since the game engine is based on OpenGL, multithreading rendering isn't an option. I wonder if there is any way to get around the swank server and enable its debugger when it encounters error.
Thanks, Bruce
