Dear McCLIM list,
I have worked on a patch for the pretty printer of CMUCL and SBCL that
helps support the new presentation-like features of SLIME in
conjunction with the pretty printer.
I'd like to ask if someone of you could comment on whether this patch
would be useful for McCLIM as well. If so, this would be another
reason for including it at as a core extension into SBCL and CMUCL.
The patch implements a feature of the Allegro CL pretty printer, which
is called SCHEDULE-ANNOTATION there. This function queues arbitrary
functions ("annotations") in the pretty-printing stream in sequence
with the characters that are printed to the stream, until the stream
has decided on the concrete layout. When the characters are forwarded
to the target stream, the annotations are invoked at the right position.
In my changes to SLIME, I use the function as follows. I believe
(without knowing much about CLIM) that it should be possible to use
similar code to send CLIM presentation data (output records?), font
changes, etc. cleanly through pretty-printing streams.
;; If we are printing to an XP (pretty printing) stream, printing the
;; escape sequences directly would mess up the layout because column
;; counting is disturbed. Use "annotations" instead.

"Uses the bridge mechanism with two messages >id and <id. The first one
says that I am starting to print an object with this id. The second says I am finished"

(write-annotation stream #'presentation-start record)
(multiple-value-prog1
(funcall continue)
(write-annotation stream #'presentation-end record)))
(funcall continue)))
I am including the pretty-printer patch (for SBCL) at the end of this
message.
