[slime-devel] Unusual arglist for CLIM:MAKE-APPLICATION-FRAME (McCLIM)
by Paolo Amoroso 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

If I press SPACE in the *slime-repl* or *inferior-lisp* buffer to get the arglist of McCLIM's CLIM:MAKE-APPLICATION-FRAME function, the output in the minibuffer looks unusual ([...] stands for window boundary at the rightmost side of the minibuffer): (make-application-frame frame-name &rest^J options^J &key^J (prett[...] The arglist of other CLIM functions and macros look normal and don't have sequences of spaces and ^Js like the above. I use CMUCL 18e, GNU Emacs 20.7.2, and the latest McCLIM/SLIME sources under Debian Woody. Paolo -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

[slime-devel] Remote SLIME?
by Christian Lynbech 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

Has there been thoughts on extending slime to be able run lisps at other hosts than the local (ala Franz' eli)? For the purpose of the inferior lisp, it works well to specify ssh <some-other-host> lisp ... but slime then fails to connect to the lisp. I am not quite sur exactly how slime and swank communicates, but the connection process certainly involves a file in /tmp which isn't so hot in a multi host setup. One option would be to do something like emacsclient which (I think) uses a UNIX socket in the home directory for communication with emacs. ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | christian #\@ defun #\. dk ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - petonic(a)hal.com (Michael A.

[slime-devel] CVS update:
by Luke Gorrie 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

Luke wrote this message to test a cvs-commit shell script. Because this text contains the word "ChangeLog", it should be sent to both the slime-cvs and slime-devel mailing lists. If this works, we will run this script from CVSROOT/loginfo. That way slime-devel will be informed of updates to the ChangeLog, and have an easier time of keeping track of SLIME changes, without being bothered by other commits. (It didn't work the first time, so I'm trying again.) Date: Fri Nov 14 11:49:26 2003 Author: lgorrie

[slime-devel] Couple of typos
by Raymond Toy 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

There are a couple of typos in slime.el: make-local should probably be make-local-variable. There are several calls to remove-hook with a single argument. On XEmacs, remove-hook takes 2. Those hooks that are being removed don't seem to be set anywhere. Ray

[slime-devel] Using SLIME with several CMUCL flavors
by Paolo Amoroso 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

I use more than one CMUCL "flavor": vanilla CMUCL, CMUCL with a particular dumped image (e.g. McCLIM), vanilla SBCL, etc. What is the SLIME idiom, if any, for running a specific flavor? The only one I am aware of is setting `inferior-lisp-program' before invoking SLIME with `M-x slime', but this looks kludgey. Paolo -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

[slime-devel] *inferior-lisp* and *slime-repl*: what's the difference?
by Paolo Amoroso 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

What are the differences between the inferior Lisp listener and the SLIME REPL one? For what kinds of tasks is each of them intended? How do I set one of them as the default listener? Paolo -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

[slime-devel] A tiny change to slime-inspect

[slime-devel] Slime and XEmacs
by Jan Rychter 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Hot from the ChangeLog: 2003-11-03 Luke Gorrie <luke(a)bluetail.com> * slime.el (slime-display-buffer-region): Hacked to fix completely inexplicable XEmacs problems. Thank you! I was about to ask whether SLIME is expected to work with XEmacs. I guess the question still stands -- should I report problems encountered with XEmacs, or is it a known fact that it acts, well, strange? --J.

[slime-devel] Emacs font strangeness
by Brian Downing 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

I'm running (Mac OS X Carbon) Emacs from CVS as of about two weeks ago, and slime CVS as of right now. Some of the slime faces are being set up strangely and kind of wrong. Here is my default face: Default face: (sample) Hide Face State: this face is unchanged from its standard setting. Basic default face. Parent groups: Basic Faces Attributes: [X] Font Family: apple-monaco [X] Width: Value Menu medium [X] Height: Value Menu Height in 1/10 pt: 96 [X] Weight: Value Menu medium [X] Slant: Value Menu normal [X] Underline: Value Menu Off [X] Overline: Value Menu Off [X] Strike-through: Value Menu Off [X] Box around text: Value Menu Off [X] Inverse-video: Value Menu Off [X] Foreground: white (sample) [X] Background: black (sample) [X] Stipple: Value Menu None [ ] Inherit: * Most of the slime faces are set up properly: Slime Error Face:(sample) Hide Face State: this face is unchanged from its standard setting. Face for errors from the compiler. Parent groups: Slime Attributes: [ ] Font Family: * [ ] Width: * [ ] Height: * [ ] Weight: * [ ] Slant: * [X] Underline: Value Menu Colored: red (sample) [ ] Overline: * [ ] Strike-through: * [ ] Box around text: * [ ] Inverse-video: * [ ] Foreground: * [ ] Background: * [ ] Stipple: * [ ] Inherit: * However, some of the faces (slime-highlight-face, slime-repl-input-face, and slime-repl-output-face) are strange: Slime Repl Input Face:(sample) Hide Face State: this face is unchanged from its standard setting. Face for previous input in the SLIME REPL. Parent groups: Slime Attributes: [X] Font Family: apple-monaco [X] Width: Value Menu medium [X] Height: Value Menu Height in 1/10 pt: 116 [X] Weight: Value Menu bold [X] Slant: Value Menu normal [X] Underline: Value Menu Off [ ] Overline: * [ ] Strike-through: * [ ] Box around text: * [ ] Inverse-video: * [ ] Foreground: * [ ] Background: * [ ] Stipple: * [ ] Inherit: * Notice how it's not properly inheriting, and the Height parameter is larger than my default face! (116 is the _default_ default face, not my default). This means that some things get huge and out of alignment. (Mac rant: Sadly, even if this weren't the case, Monaco, which is by far the best monospace font on the Mac, has a bold face that's wider than its normal one! I do not understand how this could ever be acceptible in a supposedly "monospace" font! But the size difference above just makes it even worse.) By the way, congratulations on slime-repl! It's the first time I've been able to write something like (progn (format t "Enter foo: ") (read)) and had "Enter foo: " actually appear before the read in Emacs. That doesn't work in *inferior-lisp* or ilisp's listener. -bcd -- *** Brian Downing <bdowning at lavos dot net>

[slime-devel] slime-repl wishlist
by Raymond Toy 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

In slime inferior-lisp mode, pressing enter will either enter a new line or send the completed s-exp to lisp. C-j does the same thing, except it will re-indent the line. This doesn't seem to work in slime-repl. It would be nice if it could! Ray
