[slime-devel] C-c C-k in sbcl-native source buffers
by Christophe Rhodes 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

Hi, Julian noted that C-c C-k doesn't work (well, it does, but it doesn't DWIM) in sbcl source files. Attached is an abstraction-violating patch that makes it DWIM... as ever, I'm unsure of how best to remove the violation of abstraction boundaries. (And whether the way I've violated the abstractions is the right way, come to that). Cheers, Christophe

[slime-devel] updates to swank-openmcl.lisp / notice of openmcl kernel bug effecting slime OS X
by Alan Ruttenberg 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

I've made a bunch of updates to the openmcl implementation. Details in the ChangeLog, but to summarize - fixes to backtrace - improvements to edit-definition for methods particularly - updates to reflect current multiprocessing support - support for slime-who-calls and friends via openmcl's recently added xref facility - support profiling in mcl (via metering.lisp) - define openmcl-set-debug-switches as place to put all those variables that control recording debug information. Now the kernel issue, which is present when running under OS X, but not linux. The problem manifests as the assertion in swank-backend::receive occasionally failing, hosing slime, typically during some long task. The cause was that a wait on semaphore that was returning when it shouldn't have (no signal). The fix should appear in the cvs soon, Gary Byers says (Gary found the fix, of course). If you want to patch it yourself the change is in lisp-kernel/thread_manager.c in the function wait_on_semaphore. Change if ((seconds <= 0) && (nanos <= 0)) { return 0 ; to if ((seconds <= 0) && (nanos <= 0)) { return KERN_OPERATION_TIMED_OUT ; Then cd to lisp-kernel/darwin/ and "make" Let me know if I've broken anything. BTW, congrats on slime 1.0, and sorry I couldn't get the changes in before the release. Blame it on 4 month old Jarrett Sagan Ruttenberg. -Alan

[slime-devel] save-some-buffers patch
by Eduardo Muñoz 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

Slime tries sometimes to save my .newsrc-dribble file so I find the following patch useful. Maybe an utility function `slime-lisp-buffer-p' should be created to narrow or widen de definition of "lisp buffer". -- Eduardo Muñoz | (prog () 10 (print "Hello world!") http://213.97.131.125/ | 20 (go 10))

[slime-devel] Bug in SLIME 1.0 from CVS?
by Denis Bueno 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

Sorry if you get this twice, the first wasn't from my list-subscribed email. When SLIME starts up, it says: ; SLIME 2004-09-08 I was visiting a lisp (.cl) buffer and looking at this function: (defun first-function (tokens) (let ((pos (position "[" tokens :test #'string=))) (if (> pos 0) (nth (1- pos) tokens) (error "invalid function call: empty function")))) I put the Emacs cursor after the last right-paren, issued C-c C-c, and the SLIME debugger popped up; it said (I've expanded the top stack frame): ********************** invalid number of arguments: 3 [Condition of type SB-INT:SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [ABORT] Abort handling SLIME request. 1: [ABORT] Reduce debugger level (leaving debugger, returning to toplevel). 2: [TOPLEVEL] Restart at toplevel READ/EVAL/PRINT loop.

[slime-devel] Error in function CREATE-INET-LISTENER (OS X + CMUCL)
by Matthew Munz 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hi all, I'm just getting started with SLIME and CMUCL, so any help would be really appreciated. I set up SLIME 1.0 on a linux machine according to the manual's instructions, and M-x slime worked out-of-the-box quite nicely. The analogous setup on OS X, however, gives me the following error. After this point, the inferior lisp mode works fine, but slime mode does not. A problem with the socket communication perhaps? Could someone please help me debug this? I think that my network interface is properly configured, but since it's my day 1 with SLIME, it's hard for me to know how to analyze this error. * ;; Swank started at port: 49188. 49188 * Error in function CREATE-INET-LISTENER: Error binding socket to port 0: Can't assign requested address [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.

[slime-devel] Cannot compile slime for sbcl on debian ppc
by Sam Zoghaib 10 Sep '04

10 Sep '04

Hello, I am trying to compile slime for sbcl 0.8.14 running on a Debian PowerPC computer. The compilation fails as follows: ; compiling file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-sbcl.lisp (written 04 SEP 2004 08:38:20) debugger invoked on a SB-INT:EXTENSION-FAILURE in thread 2952: Don't know how to REQUIRE SB-BSD-SOCKETS. See also: The SBCL Manual, Variable SB-EXT:*MODULE-PROVIDER-FUNCTIONS* The SBCL Manual, Function REQUIRE It fails with the CVS version as well as with 1.0. Is there anything I am missing ?

[slime-devel] Lispworks patches.
by Eduardo Muñoz 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

A couple of patches that I found necessary using Lispworks Personal Edition. These should be considered more a proof of concept than polished code. The first one enables the load-library repl-shorcut by just defining a dummy call-with-compilation-hooks. The second does a better work finding files, IMHO, given that the phisical drive of a file (on windows) is stored as the host component and it is not used to construct the pathname. Of course a pathname expert should review the thing before commit. $ diff -u swank-lispworks.lisp~ swank-lispworks.lisp --- swank-lispworks.lisp~ 2004-09-07 00:13:30.000000000 +0200 +++ swank-lispworks.lisp 2004-09-05 18:09:44.000000000 +0200 @@ -313,6 +313,7 @@ (loop for (dspec location) in locations collect (list dspec (make-dspec-location dspec location))))) + ;;; Compilation (defmacro with-swank-compilation-unit ((location &rest options) &body body) @@ -327,6 +328,10 @@ (with-swank-compilation-unit (filename) (compile-file filename :load load-p))) +(defimplementation call-with-compilation-hooks (function) + ;; #'pray instead of #'handler-bind + (funcall function)) + (defun map-error-database (database fn) (loop for (filename . defs) in database do (loop for (dspec . conditions) in defs do ======================================================================= $ diff -u swank-loader.lisp~ swank-loader.lisp --- swank-loader.lisp~ 2004-09-04 18:19:52.000000000 +0200 +++ swank-loader.lisp 2004-09-05 17:35:52.000000000 +0200 @@ -15,17 +15,10 @@ (defun make-swank-pathname (name &optional (type "lisp")) "Return a pathname with name component NAME in the Slime directory." - (merge-pathnames name - (make-pathname - :type type - :device - (pathname-device - (or *compile-file-pathname* *load-pathname* - *default-pathname-defaults*)) - :directory - (pathname-directory - (or *compile-file-pathname* *load-pathname* - *default-pathname-defaults*))))) + (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name name :type type) + (or *compile-file-pathname* + *load-pathname* + *default-pathname-defaults*))) (defparameter *sysdep-pathnames* (mapcar #'make-swank-pathname -- Eduardo Muñoz | (prog () 10 (print "Hello world!") http://213.97.131.125/ | 20 (go 10))
