[slime-devel] cmucl with slime crashes on solaris
by Mario S.Mommer 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hi, With the current cmucl snapshot for sparc (but with earlier versions this also happens), and a current slime from cvs, I get the following behaviour. I start with ; SLIME 2005-10-11 CL-USER> (tagbody tag (format t "oo~%") (sleep 5) (go tag)) oo Then I interrupt the lisp process. So far so good. When I hit "q", I get a segfault from cmucl. After that, things stop working normally. Mario. PS: the backtrace: Error in function UNIX::SIGSEGV-HANDLER: Segmentation Violation at #xFF14D878. [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.

[slime-devel] SLIME 2005-10-09 vs. inferior-lisp-program
by Peter BARABAS 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Hello, I've just updated my SLIME from CVS and got the following error in the minibuffer while doing M-x slime: "Process inferior-lisp not running" inferior-lisp-program is set to "/usr/bin/sbcl --noinform". If I set it to ""/usr/bin/sbcl" M-x slime works. -- '(Yours parenthetically), peter barabas. ((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

[slime-devel] Problems with AllegroCL and completion
by Edi Weitz 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Hi! Today I noticed that there seem to be significant problems with AllegroCL (I'm using 7.0 pro on both Windows and Linux) and completion. SLIME is current from CVS. For me the problem is reproducible like that: 1. The TAB key is bound to slime-indent-and-complete-symbol. 2. In the REPL buffer type, say, (use-package :d 3. Now, with the cursor after the "d" type TAB several times in a row very fast. This suffices to completely trash everything for me. On Windows, Emacs goes up to 60% CPU usage and doesn't react anymore, on Linux AllegroCL goes up to 95% CPU usage. Any ideas? Thanks, Edi.

[slime-devel] non-Latin1 character causes slime to disconnect
by Alan Shields 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Quick way to cause problems: At the repl, do: (code-char 65533) Swank will disconnect. This is an unhandled condition regarding an external format encoding error. Ocurred with SBCL 0.9.4.65 and 09/28/2005 at 9:20 PM's slime CVS. The quick response is "don't do that" - but the character was ocurring in (I think) a backtrace from an external format error. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Alan

[slime-devel] REPL history cleared when inferior lisp is restarted

After the recent changes to slime-output-buffer (2005-09-15), the REPL history is no longer preserved across inferior lisp restarts. I don't understand the code well enough to know what the proper fix is, but the following kludge seems to restore the old behaviour: --- slime.el 27 Sep 2005 22:42:55 -0000 1.552 +++ slime.el 1 Oct 2005 19:41:09 -0000 @@ -2474,7 +2474,8 @@ (setf (slime-connection-output-buffer) (let ((connection (slime-connection))) (with-current-buffer (slime-repl-buffer t connection) - (slime-repl-mode) + (unless (eq major-mode 'slime-repl-mode) + (slime-repl-mode)) (setq slime-buffer-connection connection) (slime-reset-repl-markers) (unless noprompt -- Juho Snellman

[slime-devel] compile-system problem
by Peter BARABAS 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hello, I'm using CVS SLIME and went into the following problem: I start slime with M-x slime, then change the current directory with <comma> !d, and do a compile-system. Everything compiles fine, but when I try to call any function with (dora:start) or (dora::list-items) I get: package "DORA" not found. When I do it in a shell as cd .devel/dora && sbcl --eval "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :dora)" --eval "(dora:start)" it works. Am I missing something? Thank you for your reply. -- '(Yours parenthetically), peter barabas. ((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

It's a bit too early to say, though, and I think there will be at least two representations.

It always pretty much worked in SBCL, so I assume you're referring to my new implementation. Progress? Some. The basic design is a Lisp evaluator that communicates with the stepper UI by way of the condition system - pretty much the same setup as my last attempt, except that I'm writing said evaluator myself. I'm about halfway done with the evaluator, and haven't really tried doing anything about the UI yet; Slime's debugger works fairly well for the development bit. *IF* I had nothing else to do, I could probably get a workable stepper (sans UI) in a week. As I do, in fact, have other things to do, I'm aiming to complete it by christmas. Partials will be unpredictable, but feel free to pull patches from darcs://brage.info/~svein/repos/slime/, which will contain semi-stable code once I've got such a thing. (At the moment it's practically empty. You could still use it as a CVS gateway, I suppose.) I'll also announce it to slime-dev once I feel confident about letting the ravening hordes at my code. As has been mentioned, all good things come to those who wait - for a tidbit, I've got a framework for step-backwards in place. > Also, what were the problems that you had getting it to work with OpenMCL? (defmacro step (&body body) ,@body) That about summarizes it. I'd been using that macro as a starting point for figuring out how the implementations did it. OpenMCL apparently didn't, but maybe I didn't dig deep enough. I'd appreciate pointers to whitepapers on Lisp evaluation and such, if you have some handy. - Svein Ove Aas
