[slime-devel] Reader conditional highlighting for xemacs
by Raymond Toy 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Here is a very gross implementation of reader conditional highlighting for xemacs. This is a really cool feature, but it should use something besides font-lock-comment-face, I think. It would also be nice if the conditional expression were also highlighed the same way. Then I could ignore it completely. Ray (defun slime-activate-font-lock-magic () (if (featurep 'xemacs) (let ((pattern '((slime-search-suppressed-forms (0 font-lock-comment-face t))))) (setf lisp-font-lock-keywords (append lisp-font-lock-keywords pattern)) (setf lisp-font-lock-keywords-1 (append lisp-font-lock-keywords pattern)) (setf lisp-font-lock-keywords-2 (append lisp-font-lock-keywords pattern))) (font-lock-add-keywords 'lisp-mode '((slime-search-suppressed-forms 0 font-lock-comment-face t))))) (when slime-highlight-suppressed-forms (slime-activate-font-lock-magic))

Of course, the locale may have some have a multibyte coding system as default, but for SLIME we can use whatever we like. I think we should use a unibyte coding system. Simple, easy to understand, and efficient. You will not be able to send your emails with SLIME, but that's a restriction I can live with :-) We do already (set-buffer-multibyte nil) in slime-make-net-buffer. So, character positions it the *cl-connection* buffer should correspond to byte offsets. In slime-net-connect we do: (set-process-coding-system proc 'no-conversion 'no-conversion) Maybe we should use 'iso-latin-1-unix for writing. How does that sound? Helmut.

[slime-devel] SLIME to be featured in Practical Common Lisp
by Peter Seibel 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

I'm getting to the point in the work on my book that I'm starting to think in detail about packaging code for the accompanying CD, etc. I'm planning to use some version of the Lisp In A Box package that Matthew Danish and Mikel Evins have been working on which features SLIME heavily. I'll also be using SLIME as my example of a Lisp development environment, talking about it in the text. So, the question is, what version of SLIME do I use? I've only been loosely paying attention--have there been any changes since 1.0 that I'll want? (I've been running CVS head for pretty much forever). Are there any plans for a 1.1 or 1.0.1 or whatever? Also, is there anything that Franz could do to help us make SLIME better on Allegro? Since they're the ones who started this book project, the accompanying CD will probably contain a version of Allegro for Linux, Windows, and OS X. Are there any features of SLIME that are missing or lame on Allegro compared to other Lisp's? If there's any low-hanging fruit that could be picked off with a bit of cooperation from the folks at Franz maybe I can talk to them about it. FWIW, I'm also planning to provide SBCL for Linux and OS X, OpenMCL for OS X, and perhaps CLISP for all three platforms. (Unless either a Windows port of SBCL or CMUCL shows up in the near future.) So if there any notable SLIME defficiencies on any of those platforms that I should be aware of, feel free to let me know. Finally, are there any major holes in the current SLIME docs? I may be able to help plug them if there are so I can just refer folks to SLIME docs rather than having to explain everything in the book text proper. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

I just did a "cvs update -A" and started up CMUCL with my own core image without any problem. Sorry about the noise. Thanks a lot to all Slime developers for this wonderful piece of software.

To me, it seems that this bug has always been there, and I have no idea why we've only just started noticing it. (Clearly I don't do enough real work in slime). The problem arises in UTF-8 locales only, with slime's emacs end treating the first three bytes or so of a connection as text (rather than binary). The attached patch fixes the problem at a certain cost in dynamic range of communications. Please advise if this is the desired solution, or if I/we need to do some more work. Cheers, Christophe

[slime-devel] Several questions about typeout frames
by R. Mattes 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hello list, i have some questions about slime's typeout frames. First, is there a way to configure the appearance of the typeout frames short of editing 'slime.el'? I'd like to customize the background color as well as disable the statusbar. Maybe there's a chance to defcustom slime-typeout-frame-properties instead of devar-ing it? Second, is it possible to have the compiler messages show up in the typeout frame instead of poping up in (not so) small tooltip windows. I often encounter huge compiler messages that cause tooltips the size of my sceen :-) TIA Ralf Mattes

[slime-devel] Wrong coloring of read-time conditionals
by Edi Weitz 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi! I just noticed that the coloring of read-time conditionals isn't correct (anymore). See for example the screenshot at <http://zappa.agharta.de/slime-screenshot.png>. This is with current SLIME, Emacs 21.3, and Allegro 7.0 pro on Linux. The forms marked with a red line obviously have the wrong color. Anyone else seeing this? Cheers, Edi.

[slime-devel] reader conditional fontification?
by Peter Seibel 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Looking through the manual I see that SLIME is supposed to "gray out" code that will be omitted based on the current connection. However opening a file with a bunch of readtime conditionals I don't see any code grayed out. Any ideas how I might have dorked this up? -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp
