[slime-devel] comma shortcut doesn't work always
by Edi Weitz 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Another minor glitch that I encountered is that the comma shortcut in the REPL doesn't always work. I can consistently reproduce it (GNU Emacs 21.3.50 and also 21.3 release) like this: 1. Make sure point is at the beginning of a REPL input line. 2. Split Emacs frame into two windows, one of them being the REPL the other one containing something else. 3. Hide REPL window with C-x 0. 4. Now type M-x slime. 5. Type the comma. At this point I'm not asked for a shortcut command in the minibuffer but the comma is simply entered into the REPL instead. Anybody else seeing this? Cheers, Edi.

CLISP still breaks for me in the latest CVS. I have had a look at all of the DEFSLIMEFUN's that were modified since 4/18 (the previous CVS version that I had which was working ok with CLISP) and haven't found any obvious clues. Any suggestions on how I might debug this issue as it occurs at startup during the slime-connect processing in Emacs (after CLISP has started up successfully)? - Bill

[slime-devel] Problems with LWW FLI
by Edi Weitz 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi! Has anyone else problems with SLIME when using Lispworks on Windows (XP) and its FLI? I've run into a (reproducable but complicated) situation where SLIME simply hung while there were no problems from the LW IDE or from the command line. I'm sitting at my Linux laptop now but I can try to create a simple test case - I just wanted to check if this is a known problem. Cheers, Edi.

[slime-devel] eval-in-emacs and 'window'-debugger
by Antonio Menezes Leitao 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Hi everybody, I noticed that slime provides a function eval-in-emacs that sends a form to the emacs side where it is evaluated. However, I would like to get the results on the lisp side but I always get NIL. Is there a different swank function for that? (in the emacs-lisp-interface from Franz I used a lep::eval-in-emacs that did precisely what I needed). This is very useful to provide refactoring operations (that operate on the Lisp side) that need to interact with the user using emacs lisp operations such as y-or-n-p or read-from-minibuffer. I know that it might be difficult to find a general scheme to translate from emacs lisp values to common lisp values but all I need is symbols, strings, numbers and such. ----------------- A few years ago I developed a 'window'-debugger and 'window'-inspector for Ilisp+CMUCL similar to what I used in the Explorer Lisp Machines. I recently adapted it to Slime+Whatever-Common-Lisp-slime-supports. If anyone is interested I can post it. However, I would like to suggest two changes to Slime in order to improve its portability: 1. The function swank::inspected-parts should provide a recognizable value for unbound slots. Here is one example in SBCL CL-USER> (defclass c () ((a))) #<STANDARD-CLASS C> CL-USER> (swank::inspected-parts (make-instance 'c)) "The object is a STANDARD-OBJECT of type C. " (("A" . #:INSPECT-UNBOUND-OBJECT-3530)) and in CLISP CL-USER> (swank::inspected-parts (make-instance 'c)) "#<COMMON-LISP-USER::C #x20426856> standard object type: COMMON-LISP-USER::C" (("A" . INSPECT-TMP-PACKAGE-5413::|#<unbound>|)) I know that the returned values are recognizable (e.g., by being the value of the variable sb-impl::*inspect-unbound-object-marker* or something similar) but given the fact that it depends on the Common Lisp being used, it would be preferable if Slime provided a function that recognizes such value. If it already does, my apologies. 2. The function swank::frame-locals doesn't distinguish valid locals from invalid ones. I know that not all Common Lisps make that distinction but for the ones that make, it would be useful to get that information (for Common Lisps that don't provide such information a default could be chosen). Currently, Slime puts a :not-available as value which, IMHO, is error-prone. It would be nicer to have an extra field for each local that describes its status or (as in 1.) a slime function that recognizes such special value or as a third (and not so good) alternative, swank::frame-locals should not produce invalid locals. Thanks in advance, António Leitão.

[slime-devel] Loading slime for clisp in xemacs on Windows
by Andrei Stebakov 23 Dec '04

23 Dec '04

Hi, I have xemacs and clisp that came with the cygwin distribution. I just downloaded slime-1.0 and put the following in my custom.el file: (add-to-list 'load-path "C:\\Linux\\slime-1.0\\") (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t))) (add-hook 'inferior-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (inferior-slime-mode t))) (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp -K full") (require 'slime) (slime-setup) Now, when I load slime (via M-x slime) I got: [1]> *** - PARSE-NAMESTRING: syntax error in filename "c:\\Linux\\slime-1.0\\swank-loader.lisp" at position 2 Break 1 [2]> *** - READ from #<IO TERMINAL-STREAM>: there is no package with name "SWANK" Break 2 [3]> "C:\\DOCUME~1\\stebakov\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\slime.2036" Break 2 [3]> Could anyone give me some info what I can do to fix it? Thanks, Andrei

[slime-devel] OS X & Carbon Emacs
by David Steuber 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Hi, On OS X, M-TAB is taken by the system for task switching. What do people generally map in its place (and how)? ESC TAB works, but it is a bit awkward. There is also M-/ but I don't want to change that. I also want to keep the command key as Meta. I'm using Emacs from CVS (updated occasionally).

[slime-devel] Ilisp interfering with SLIME ?
by Xavier Maillard 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Hello, I am kinda satisfied with SLIME but it is, sometimes, crashing my Lisp session. In fact sometimes when loading a file, says test.lisp, I can clear see ilip related stuff and thus, it crashes. I do *NOT* load any ilisp related stuff in my .emacs. What should I check to completely disable this /side-effect/ ? Thank you. -- Xavier Maillard| "Stand Back!

[slime-devel] slime-update-indentation
by Lynn Quam 01 Nov '04

Is there any way to cause slime-update-indentation to be invoked in a more automatic fashion? It should at least be in one of the EMACS menus.
