[slime-devel] Manual labour
by Luke Gorrie 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

[Repost: I'm not sure that my via-Gmane post is getting through.] I've drafted a user manual in doc/slime.texi. It's also online at http://www.bluetail.com/~luke/misc/lisp/slime.ps.gz http://www.bluetail.com/~luke/misc/lisp/slime.pdf The PDF version is a bit ugly (from ps2pdf), because texi2pdf is choking on slime.texi for some reason. Feedback would be welcome, so please RTFM! Cheers, Luke

[slime-devel] Tab completion bug?
by Dirk Gerrits 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Typing M, U, L, <TAB> in the SLIME REPL produces "multiple-value|-" where | represents the cursor/point. Is this a bug? If it'd produce "multiple-value-|" then "multiple-value-bind" and such would be just a tad easier to type. Regards, Dirk Gerrits

[slime-devel] getpid implementation on sbcl
by Christophe Rhodes 24 Mar '04

May be of interest. (Mostly because it removes the warning at startup, but also using the sb-posix supported function rather than the sb-unix internal one.

[slime-devel] CLISP: xref-results missing fspec-source-locations
by Alan Shutko 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

In current CVS on CLISP, xref-results (function the CLISP backend uses for who-calls results) doesn't work, because it calls fspec-source-locations which was removed by Helmut on March 10. Helmut, could you take a look at xref-results in swank-clisp and see if it can be converted easily to the new code? I don't immediately understand how that section works, so if you can fix it easily, it would be great. -- Alan Shutko <ats(a)acm.org> - I am the rocks. If I were really two faced, would I be wearing this one?

[slime-devel] Weirdness on Lispworks

This is not a bug report (or even a complaint!) just an observation that something which used to work no longer does so. I can imagine why replacing the top level listener from behind SLIME's back may not be a good thing. Perhaps all this is really is a note so that someday, the mechanism by which SLIME communicates with the back ends will be sufficiently well documented that it can say somewhere in the manual that forms like the above are not a good idea if you want to use slime. :-) p.s. Slime juss keeps on gettin' better! Great work!
