[slime-devel] slime-toggle-trace-fdefinition (C-c C-t) causes XEmacs to hang
by Steven E. Harris 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Using SLIME updated to the current CVS in XEmacs 21.4.13 with CLISP 2.33.1 on Cygwin, trying to trace a function (C-c C-t) causes XEmacs to hang. I can interrupt XEmacs with C-g, eliciting the following backtrace: ,---- | Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit) | accept-process-output(nil 0 10000) | (while t (accept-process-output nil 0 10000)) | (let ((debug-on-quit t) (inhibit-quit nil)) (while t (accept-process-output nil 0 10000))) | (catch tag (slime-rex (tag sexp) (sexp package) (... ... ...) (... ...)) (let (... ...) (while t ...))) | (apply (function funcall) (catch tag (slime-rex ... ... ... ...) (let ... ...))) | (let* ((tag ...) (slime-stack-eval-tags ...)) (apply (function funcall) (catch tag ... ...))) | slime-eval((swank:toggle-trace-fdefinition "sum-nearest")) | (message "%s" (slime-eval (backquote ...))) | (lambda (fname-string) "Toggle trace for FNAME-STRING." (interactive (list ...))

Is this a known problem? -- Steven E. Harris

[slime-devel] please no sharpsign references in C-c RET output
by Chisheng Huang 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

With cvs Slime on 2005-02-01, invoking C-c RET on piece of my code generates the following output (with lots of code snipped): (let () (flet ((#:handler-show-message-11502 (c) (popup-message ...))) (handler-case (let ((#:data-11500 (let ((data (apply ... (append (list x-var y-var) (when ...))))) (if log-p (apply #'%ensure-log-cases data (list x-var y-var)) ...))) (#:original-vars-11501 (when ...)) ...) (if trellis-display-spec (do-trellis-plot :scatterplot icon (:ftn ...) plot (:ftn ...) trellis-display-spec nil log-p #:data-11500 (x-var y-var) #:original-vars-11501) ...)) ...))) With the latest cvs Slime on 2005-03-14, invoking C-c RET on the same piece of code generates the following output: (let () (flet ((#1=#:handler-show-message-11502 (c) (popup-message ...))) (handler-case (let ((#2=#:data-11500 (let ((data (apply ... (append (list . #3=(x-var y-var)) (when ...))))) (if log-p (apply #'%ensure-log-cases data (list . #3#)) ...))) (#4=#:original-vars-11501 (when ...)) ...) (if trellis-display-spec (do-trellis-plot :scatterplot icon #5=(:ftn ...) plot #6=(:ftn ...) trellis-display-spec nil log-p #2# #3# #4#) ...)) ...))) I much prefer the way the 2005-02-01 Slime displays the macroexpanded code. Is there any way to tell Slime NOT to use a bunch of sharpsigns and numbers when displaying the output from C-c RET? Using sharpsigns and numbers make the expanded code hard to read. My memory sucks and I have to search back and forth for a particular definition of a sharpsign reference when there are more than one. There are 7 such sharpsign references in the C-c RET output of this particular piece of code. To make the matters worse, doing a C-c RET on (DO-TRELLIS-PLOT ...) in the C-c RET output from the latest cvs Slime will throw me into the debugger: Reader error at 556 on #<String-Input Stream>: Object is not labelled #2# [Condition of type READER-ERROR] Doing the same thing with the 2005-02-01 Slime is no problem. Best, -cph

[slime-devel] installing slime in fedora core 3?
by Jason Wang 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

hi, i'm very new to linux.. i have installed Fedora Core 3 on my computer, it's working fine. I want to install slime onto Fedora Core 3.... i can't seem to follow the installation instructions.. on the installation instructions: (slime-setup) when i typed this into emacs and compile and run it, it just returned nil.. anyone know what's happening? thanks alot :D -- www.programer.name - my own personal blog : ) The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n. What matter where, if I be still the same, and what I should be, all but less than he whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least we shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice to reign is worth ambition though in hell: Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n. --- John Milton, in his epic poem Paradise Lost

[slime-devel] compile window (in ECB) and *SLIME Note*
by Andrew Stebakov 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, Looks like there is a conflict between those two buffers. I have an ecb compile window at the bottom of the screen so every time I start typing some function (let's say socket:socket-connect) as soon as I press space bar I got all layout messed up when "cl-connection" fills up almost all screen and *SLIME-Note" takes the space of edit window. I use: Emacs : XEmacs 21.4 (patch 13) "Rational FORTRAN" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Sun May 25 2003 on TSUNAMI Package: ECB: 2.31, semantic: 1.4.2, eieio: 0.17, speedbar: 0.14beta4, JDEE: 2.3.2 Think, I should report it to ECB too... Thanks, Andrew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo

[slime-devel] slime-edit-value
by Luke Gorrie 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

Howdy, I just added a new command called slime-edit-valueon `C-c E'. Here's what it does: Prompt for a form that should be setf'able. Evaluate the form and pop up a buffer containing the value. Let you edit the value how you want. On `C-c C-c' send the edited value over to Lisp and setf it. I've used a super-handy Emacs Lisp command like this for years and I'm surprised that I didn't think to SLIME it sooner. Cheers, Luke

[slime-devel] Intentionally dynamic variables in elisp?
by Peter Seibel 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Since variables in elisp are by default dynamically scoped, is there a coding convention for when you mean to take advantage of a variable being dynamic? Should one use *names* like in Common Lisp? -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)gigamonkeys.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

[slime-devel] auto insertion of closing pair for ( and " - possible new feature
by Surendra Singhi 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hello, I have written code for inserting closing pairs for ( and ". Something similar can be added to slime if it is not already there in the cvs version. One drawback of this code is that unlike in eclipse if the user also types a closing pair, the auto-inserted closing pair is not removed. And i am not able to figure out how to stop skeleton-insert from pushing everything at the end of current point of insertion by one line. (defun self-insert-pair() "Insert characters (,\" and their closing pair, and then put the cursor in the middle position." (interactive) (setq skeleton-pair t) (let ((char last-command-char)) (case char (?\( (skeleton-insert '(nil "(" > _ ")"))) (?\" (skeleton-pair-insert-maybe nil))))) (local-set-key [\(] 'self-insert-pair) (local-set-key [\"] 'self-insert-pair) -- Surendra Singhi www.public.asu.edu/~sksinghi/ "O thou my friend! The prosperity of Crime is like unto the lightning, whose traitorous brilliancies embellish the atmosphere but for an instant, in order to hurl into death's very depths the luckless one they have dazzled." -- Marquis de Sade
