[slime-devel] minor enhancements recommended!
by Surendra Singhi 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi, I will suggest few minor changes which can be made, but will greatly simplify things for the users. I feel when there is an error *sldb * should show up in place of the repl buffer instead of replacing the code buffer. At present every time there is an error I have to replace the sldb buffer by code buffer and then repl by the sldb buffer. I am sure other users might also be facing this problem and so they must have written some short-cut keys to do this. But for xemac newbies(like me) it may be hard to write such short-cut keys and so this feature should be inbuilt. Second, I feel even when the sldb buffer is visible there should be a way of interpreting new function definitions(this maybe hard to implement). The reason why this feature is useful is that after looking at the error one changes the code and then executes it. But because repl is hung it the function doesn't executes. And so I am forced to go to sldb kill it, so that repl returns to normal state and then go back and interpret(execute) the function again. Moreover, when the sldb is killed the buffer positions revert back to what they were before the error occurred. This is annonying and I feel shound't happen. Thanks. -- Surendra Singhi www.public.asu.edu/~sksinghi

[slime-devel] net-read error with slime -D "2004-11-19 19:00"
by Matthew Danish 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

The latest slime causes problems for me in Allegro 6.2 mlisp on Win32. I suspect the culprit is the new encoding stuff. I get a "net-read error: (end-of-file)" and an ugly debugger backtrace with lots of line noise in it. Any ideas? -- ;; Matthew Danish -- user: mrd domain: cmu.edu ;; OpenPGP public key: C24B6010 on keyring.debian.org

[slime-devel] [PATCH] macro indentation fix
by Chris Capel 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

My previous patch fixed the arglist code, but the function that returns macro indention was still broken. (In more ways than one, actually--it didn't treat &body and &rest equivalently. That problem turned out to be the actual problem with the indentation macro that led me on this adventure in the first place. Go figure.) This patch fixes that quite nicely, I believe.

[slime-devel] Improvement to slime-maybe-start-lisp
by Chris Capel 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Sorry, I don't have the resources to send a diff from here. When slime starts an inferior lisp process, it should probably check to make sure swank isn't already loaded (by an init file, or being in the default lisp image) before it calls load. This can take lots of extra time on a slow machine. So here's what I have it send the lisp process in slime-maybe-start-lisp: "(when (null (find-package :swank)) (load %S))\n" Chris Capel

[slime-devel] features from ILisp I miss in slime
by Rodrigo Ventura 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hello all, I've just tryed slime, after years of ILisp use, and I feel great! Slime is definitely a step ahead of ILisp. However, there some features I was used to in ILisp, and that I miss in slime. Maybe some of them are configurable, maybe others are not. Here goes my list: - there are a list of key bindings that can be seen after a C-h m in a Lisp Slime mode, which do not work (e.g., C-c C-a, C-c C-c, etc.) Some of them have different key bindings in Slime, while others follow a distinct functional scheme (e.g., showing arguments as you type, which works fine in slime). - in Lisp Slime mode a RET does not auto-indent the next line. It'd be useful to have auto-identation, so that we could save a TAB everytime we write a new line of LISP. - in the REPL loop M-p is not quite pratical; couldn't you use for instance C-up for last expression entered (similar to ILisp)?

[slime-devel] C-c C-l bug
by Surendra Singhi 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hi, This time I am using slime standard 1-0 release on Xemacs(with clisp) and it seems the command for loading a file doesn't work, specifically the short-cut key and the associated command. It doesn't do anything rather shows the *inferior-lisp* buffer for no reason. The explicit lisp load file command works without any problem. Thanks in advance -- Surendra Singhi www.public.asu.edu/~sksinghi

[slime-devel] xemacs & slime - bug

I use xemacs and slime on windows machine. I recently downloaded the latest version of slime from cvs, but while starting it I get the following error message. Any help on this will be appreciated. I looked into the code and was able to figure out the problem somewhere in slime.el file. But I am a slime and xemacs newbie and wasn't able to fix it.
