[slime-devel] comma shortcut doesn't work always
by Edi Weitz 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Another minor glitch that I encountered is that the comma shortcut in the REPL doesn't always work. I can consistently reproduce it (GNU Emacs 21.3.50 and also 21.3 release) like this: 1. Make sure point is at the beginning of a REPL input line. 2. Split Emacs frame into two windows, one of them being the REPL the other one containing something else. 3. Hide REPL window with C-x 0. 4. Now type M-x slime. 5. Type the comma. At this point I'm not asked for a shortcut command in the minibuffer but the comma is simply entered into the REPL instead. Anybody else seeing this? Cheers, Edi.

CLISP still breaks for me in the latest CVS. I have had a look at all of the DEFSLIMEFUN's that were modified since 4/18 (the previous CVS version that I had which was working ok with CLISP) and haven't found any obvious clues. Any suggestions on how I might debug this issue as it occurs at startup during the slime-connect processing in Emacs (after CLISP has started up successfully)? - Bill

[slime-devel] Comment indentation in newer Emacsen
by Edi Weitz 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Dumb question number two for today: I've recently switched to a CVS build (circa end of January) of GNU Emacs on Windows. Now, if I have a function like this in a lisp mode buffer (defun foo () "This is a very very very very very very very very very very very very long comment line." (bar x)) and press M-q within the comment string the result looks like so: (defun foo () "This is a very very very very very very very very very very very very long comment line." (bar x)) However, in 21.3 the result looked like this (defun foo () "This is a very very very very very very very very very very very very long comment line." (bar x)) which is what I prefer. Is this a bug or can the behaviour be changed with some setting that I'm missing? Thanks, Edi.

[slime-devel] [Patch] Improve slime-edit-definition-other-window and ...-frame

Hi, I am sending a little patch that improves the commands slime-edit-definition-other-window and ...-frame. Would someone like to merge it into CVS?

[slime-devel] Problems with LWW FLI
by Edi Weitz 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi! Has anyone else problems with SLIME when using Lispworks on Windows (XP) and its FLI? I've run into a (reproducable but complicated) situation where SLIME simply hung while there were no problems from the LW IDE or from the command line. I'm sitting at my Linux laptop now but I can try to create a simple test case - I just wanted to check if this is a known problem. Cheers, Edi.

[slime-devel] Class browser: how does it work? [was: Re: [slime-cvs] CVS update: slime/NEWS]

I have tried invoking it in a CMUCL SLIME session with McCLIM loaded, passing clim-clx::clx-medium as an argument. I get a buffer containing: Class Browser [+] clim-clx::clx-medium If I hit ENTER on "+", it turns into "X" and nothing else happens.

[slime-devel] problems with slime CVS and xemacs 21.4.15
by Nathan Froyd 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

I think this is really an Emacs problem, but Slime is the first Emacs package I've used where problems like this have come up, so I'm asking here first. I'm running XEmacs 21.4.15 on OS X 10.3.8. I just updated my Slime to the newest, shiniest CVS version (from 1.0 or so), only to find out that it won't work with my XEmacs. Near as I can tell, it's because my XEmacs isn't MULE-ized ({make,find}-coding-system do not exist) and Slime really wants MULE or some semblance thereof to operate. I assume then that Slime does not support non-MULE emacsen...is this a correct assumption? Or do I just need a newer XEmacs that features (some) support for coding systems in non-MULE builds? I see from looking at the archives that people seem to be using Slime CVS in XEmacs, but it's not clear whether those are MULE builds or not.

[slime-devel] Slime pre-port
by Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

Hi, since the latest release, Slime seems to have moved quite fast and requires quite advanced MOP features (namely, functions for querying method keywords, COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS-USING-CLASSES, etc). Until I fixed this, I have put a zip file with my previous attempt at a port of Slime http://ecls.sf.net/slime-patches.zip Even though it says "patches" it is a full slime distribution. I just preserved the name to overwrite a previous, incomplete zip file. Regards, Juanjo
