[rdnzl-devel] attaching handler / Tablet PC ink/ stroke/ not working
by Richard Fateman 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Is anyone successfully using microsoft "ink" from Lisp via rdnzl? I sent this note to Edi RJF: Could you look at a (1 page) piece of code and see if there is something obvious that (my student and I) are doing wrong trying to use rdnzl? It is at http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~fateman/temp/mjnet.lisp Edi: I just did and it looks OK to me. ... Nevertheless it doesn't work on either Allegro (RJF) or Lispworks. (Edi) It opens a window and enables "Ink", but if a handler is set up, it stops inking after the first stroke, and never really calls the handler. Oh, you don't need to have a Tablet PC, but it probably helps to have the microsoft Tablet PC SDK downloaded to your Windows machine. (Our project involves reading and speaking mathematics into a computer for processing by computer algebra programs in Lisp.) Thanks for any hints. RJF

But it would be /very/ helpful if you could reproduce this and submit a bug report to LispWorks support. As you'll know they're currently working on the 5.0 release which will have some changes in the threading code as well. It'd be nice if they could fix that before they release the new version. Thanks again, Edi.

[rdnzl-devel] RDNZL - bug in delegate adapter release mechanism
by lisp 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi Edi I've tracked down what looks to be a bug in the mechanism for releasing delegate adapters. The foreign callable ReleaseDelegateAdapter is declared with a return type of ffi-void-pointer but tries to return the result of remhash - a boolean. On LWW (at least) this results in: Condition: T cannot be converted to foreign type :POINTER. Call to SYSTEM::FOREIGN-CALLABLE-ENTRY-POINT-NEW-PROCESS-AUX (offset 21) SYSTEM::FUNC : RDNZL::%FOREIGN-CALLABLE/RELEASEDELEGATEADAPTER I would suggest changing it (and the corresponding initialisation and DLL code) to have a void return type: (ffi-define-callable (ReleaseDelegateAdapter ffi-void) ((index ffi-integer)) ;; remove entry from hash table if CLR is done with it (remhash index *callback-hash*)) Also, in DelegateAdapter.cpp you have a comment on the destructor that it doesn't appear to be working: // the destructor notifies Lisp that this instance is no longer used - // at least in theory, this doesn't seem to work right now DelegateAdapter::~DelegateAdapter() { release(indexIntoLisp); } This may have beeen the caused by the callback/threading issues discussed recently. At least it has certainly worked for me here (hence this bug report) when using a DLL based LWW image (many thanks for your recent example of this). Perhaps the .NET GC is running in a different thread, so the callback was failing in a normal .EXE image? The full traceback from the bug above seems to support this - it shows LWW creating a new process to handle the callback: CL-USER 4 : 1 > :bb #<PACKAGE COMMON-LISP-USER> Condition: T cannot be converted to foreign type :POINTER.
