[slime-devel] Symbol's value as variable is void: slime-net-processes while starting SLIME
by Paolo Amoroso 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

I have updated my working copy of the CVS sources a couple of hours ago, and SLIME does no longer work. It worked fine the previous time I had updated the sources, i.e. yesterday or at most a couple of days ago. More specifically, when I issue the `M-x slime' command from Emacs, I get the error: Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: slime-def-connection-var I also get this error in another circumstance: Symbol's value as variable is void: slime-net-processes Things are screwed so bad that when I run Gnus, it correctly accesses news, but fails to get mail from my local spool. This, anyway, is no big deal: Gnus and the rest work fine if I disable SLIME-related forms in my ~/.emacs file. Before starting SLIME, I made sure to delete all existing fasl files. I use GNU Emacs 20.7.2 and CMUCL 18e under Debian Woody. I just thought you might be interested in this... :) Paolo "SLIME CVS head or bust" Amoroso -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

[slime-devel] New keybindings for documentation commands
by Luke Gorrie 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Ahoy, As previously discussed the documentation commands have now been grouped under a `C-c C-d' prefix. The commands are: a - apropos p - apropos-package z - apropos-all d - describe-symbol f - describe-function h - hyperspec lookup ~ - hyperspec lookup of a format character The final keystroke is bound both unmodified and with control, so both `C-c C-d a' and `C-c C-d C-a' will make an apropos search. The exception is hyperspec-lookup, because it's nice to leave C-h unbound so that `C-c C-d C-h' will summarise the documentation bindings. The old bindings are removed. This has the nice effect that `C-c C-h' in a slime-mode buffer will now summarise the slime keybindings. It also shows that there are still two inf-lisp commands that we aren't currently clobbering, on `C-c C-a' and `C-c C-v'. Anyone want to fight over these bindings? I think we should have a bloody and decisive final keybinding war now and then make a 1.0-alpha release later this week. Cheers, Luke

[slime-devel] New keybindings for Who-xref commands
by Bill_Clementson＠peoplesoft.com 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Attached is a patch that provides dual key bindings for the Who-xref commands (e.g. - it now allows either "C-c C-w c" or "C-c C-w C-c" for the "Who calls ..." command).

[slime-devel] Coding system oddities
by Lennart Staflin 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hello, I'm running slime on Mac OS X, with current (CVS) Emacs and openmcl. I tend to use Latin-1 coding for files, and the keyboard generates latin-1. In slime repl I get this (slightly edited for clairty): CL-USER> (print "Åhej") "\305hej" "Åhej" It seems that the coding system emacs uses for the printed output is another then used for the main slime interaction. Changing coding system for the output stream seems to confirm this: (set-process-coding-system (get-process "*lisp-output-stream*") 'latin-1 'latin-1) After that the above example gives: (print "Åhej") "Åhej" "Åhej" //Lennart Staflin

Some people (including me at that time) liked the unmodified last key and some preferred a modified last key for key chords that had to use 3 keys. Andreas Fuchs summed up his rationale for the modified key option in this posting: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2389721&forum_id=5779 A few other people agreed with Andreas - I tried out both combinations and came around to Andreas' POV as well. However, some people (Luke included) prefer the other approach. Remember, this is only an issue with the 3-key chords as the 2-key chords need to be bound to either a control key (for each key) or a special character (for the second key) in order to conform to fsf major mode standards. Since we only use 3-key chords for certain "groups" of commands (e.g. -- documentation), we are probably not going to run out of 3-key sequences any time soon ;-) So, it probably doesn't hurt to bind to both sets of keys as it will keep everybody happy :-) - Bill

[slime-devel] pdfTeX failage on Slime manual
by Brian Downing 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

I just ran into the same stack overflow that's happening in Slime's manual on some of my own stuff. It turns out what my problem was is that pdfTeX really does not like whatever it is that TeXinfo generates for @macro output living in chapter and section titles. If I replaced my @FOOBAR{} with @acronym{FOOBAR} - only in chapter and section titles - it ran through fine. If I had to make a wild guess why this fails on pdfTeX and not plain TeX, it would be that pdfTeX is stuffing the section headers into the PDF file as the bookmark tree. -bcd -- *** Brian Downing <bdowning at lavos dot net>

[slime-devel] Feature Request: Generic Function Browser
by Thomas Schilling 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Is there already a SLIME feature like a "Generic Function Browser"? If so can someone tell how to invoke it? Here's what I'd expect from it: - list all methods of a generic function in a separate buffer - by navigating to a function and pressing 'r' it gets removed (like with REMOVE-METHOD) - 'q' closes the window - there might be some other nice things possible but this is what's be most important, cause every time I modify a method the old method is still there and it's awfully complicated to remove it then. hope someone can help -ts -- ,, \../ / <<< The LISP Effect |_\\ _==__ __ | |bb| | _________________________________________________

[slime-devel] Allegro 6.2 problem
by Peter Seibel 28 Jun '04

28 Jun '04

This may be related to the thing Edi mentioned the other day. Anyway, I start SLIME using Allegro 6.2 on Linux. Initially I'm in the directory where test-debug.lisp lives: ; SLIME: The Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs CL-USER> CL-USER> (compile-file "test-debug.lisp") ;;; Compiling file test-debug.lisp ;;; Writing fasl file test-debug.fasl ;;; Fasl write complete #p"test-debug.fasl" NIL NIL So far so good. Now I ,change-directory up one directory and try again. Which should fail since the file won't be found. But it doesn't just fail; in the SLIME repl window I get the following: CL-USER> CL-USER> (compile-file "test-debug.lisp") Error: Received signal number 11 (Segmentation violation) [condition type: SYNCHRONOUS-OPERATING-SYSTEM-SIGNAL] Restart actions (select using :continue): 0: Prompt for a different filename to compile 1: Abort handling SLIME request. 2: Abort entirely from this process. [Current process: repl-thread] [1] CL-USER(1): Typing Allegro commands (e.g. :cont 1) doesn't seem to do anything. C-c C-c gets me into sldb where I can use one of the ABORT restarts to get back to the main REPL. But this seems wrong. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp
