[slime-devel] Not displaying SLIME calls in debugger backtrace
by Paolo Amoroso 27 Nov '03

Is it possible not to display SLIME-related calls in the debugger backtrace? If not, this would be a useful option. Paolo -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

[slime-devel] SLIME and Lispworks?
by Alain.Picard＠memetrics.com 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Dear SLIME developers (hi Luke!) Well, ILISP has been annoying me _SO_ much recently I figured it may finally be time to do something about it; then I stumbled on this project. I realize (from reading your sources so far) that you're focussing on CMUCL and SBCL; however, if the intent is to try to make the protocol sufficiently general/portable to other Lisps, I hereby volunteer my services as Lispworks user/tester/debugger (and even, initially) porter of whatever LW specific code needs to be written to get SLIME going on LW. I can't promise I have a lot of time to devote to this, so I'll be happy to pass the ball on to whoever wants to take this up next, but one is greater than zero, so I'm willing to give this a go, if the concensus of this list is that this is a) feasible b) a good idea So let me know your thoughts. (I won't be offended if you think such an effort is undesirable or premature, so feel free to speak your collective minds). yours, --Alain Picard

[slime-devel] SLIME
by Luke Gorrie 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

G'day ILISP hackers, I should've written earlier to introduce our project called "SLIME" to you guys. It's similar to ILISP, the main differences are that we use a TCP socket to talk to Lisp and we generally try to imitate the Emacs Lisp programming interface. It started out a few months ago as a hack by Eric Marsden for highlighting CMUCL's compiler warnings in Emacs buffers, but other people started playing with it and now it's snowballed. The main page is on Cliki at http://www.cliki.net/SLIME if you want to know more. I'm not sure how all this relates to ILISP exactly, but I just wanted to shoot you a note to say hello and invite you to play around with it! Cheers, Luke

[slime-devel] SLIME and SBCL complaints about closed file descriptors
by Daniel Barlow 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

There is a long-standing bug in SBCL with sockets and finalisers that probably affects SLIME users more than anyone else. If you get errors about closed file descriptors while trying to do compilations, this is probably why. The fix is in SBCL CVS now (may be tomorrow by the time it gets into anoncvs) or you can patch an older SBCL by adding the following code to .sbclrc or somewhere suitable (in-package :sb-bsd-sockets) (defmethod socket-close ((socket socket)) (let ((fd (socket-file-descriptor socket))) (cond ((eql fd -1) ; already closed nil) ((slot-boundp socket 'stream) (close (slot-value socket 'stream)) ;; closes fd (setf (slot-value socket 'file-descriptor) -1) (slot-makunbound socket 'stream)) (t (sb-ext:cancel-finalization socket) (handler-case (if (= (sockint::close fd) -1) (socket-error "close")) (bad-file-descriptor-error (c) (declare (ignore c)) nil) (:no-error (c) (declare (ignore c)) nil)))))) -dan -- http://web.metacircles.com/ - CL custom development and SBCL support

[slime-devel] Users!
by Luke Gorrie 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

Avast mateys! I have come to the shocking realisation that we actually have USERS! Good heavens.. we haven't really prepared for this. I feel like the proverbial guy who forgot he was hosting a party and only had light beer when the guests arrived. What we need is a way for new users to find out how to use SLIME -- what some would call a manual. We need the information to be easy to update and get feedback on and for changes to be easy to follow. Sounds like a job for Cliki! So I've started a couple of new pages there: http://www.cliki.net/SLIME-HOWTO The mundane stuff - how to download and install. http://www.cliki.net/SLIME%20Features What features we have and how to use them. I have only made a start on the Features page. It would be great if newcomers to SLIME post little notes pointing out important information that's missing, and if seasoned users and hackers help them out and write a few words about their favourite features. What else can we do to help people use SLIME, beyond hacking? Cheers, Luke
