[slime-devel] slime-apropos-package now sorts correctly
by Hoehle, Joerg-Cyril 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Hi, slime-apropos-package now conforms to its specification and also sorts symbols printed with package prefix. I supply the patches as attachments in the hope that MS-Windows nor MS-Outlook will break the TAB and LF characters of the original diff. I hope this is fine. Regards, Jörg Höhle.

[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

RE: [slime-devel] Slime hanging on foreign function calls with Lispworks
by Shawn Nicholson 05 Jul '05

Well, My question can be disregarded. I see in the known problems document that this issue does not currently have a known reason or solution. Thanks, Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Nicholson Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 11:21 AM To: slime-devel(a)common-lisp.net Subject: [slime-devel] Slime hanging on foreign function calls with Lispworks Hello, I am a new user to slime and have run into something I can't seem to figure out. I am running Lispworks 4.4.5 Professional and Slime 2005-4-27 (LispWorks Port 1525 PID 220). I am attempting to run some code which calls some foreign functions however any attempt to do so causes Slime to hang. The windows click does not happen at all. Any ideas on what I'm missing (or what settings I have incorrect) that would prevent me from making FLI calls?

[slime-devel] M-p/M-n doesn't move to the note in cvs slime and xemacs
by Raymond Toy 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

After updating slime to the CVS slime version of 2005-05-16 to get the GC message changes, I notice that M-p/M-n no longer seems to move the the previous/next compiler note when in the Lisp buffer. The compiler notes seem to be highlighted correctly, but M-p/M-n always say no next note. This is with cmucl 2005-05 snapshot, and xemacs 21.5-b20. This combination with slime from Feb or so was working just fine. I can look into this if someone gives a few pointers on where to look. Thanks, Ray

[slime-devel] Projects
by Nicolas Neuss 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Hello, with help from c.l.l, I have made ASDF putting my FASLs to different directories depending on the implementation. Unfortunately, SLIME's C-c C-k still puts FASLs in the directory where the file lies. This looks like a problem which can only be solved by considering Lisp files as parts of ASDF systems (similar to what IDEs for other languages do with projects). Maybe this is a direction to take for SLIME? Yours, Nicolas. P.S.: Some further ideas: Maybe SLIME could somehow search for a system for the file when it is loaded. Or one could think of assisting SLIME by putting the system name in a comment at the beginning of the file.

[slime-devel] Indenting and matching square brackets
by Steve Huffman 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

I'm having trouble matching and indenting square brackets. All is well in *scratch* and in emacs-lisp mode, but in Lisp Slime I cannot get square brackets to match or auto-indent. It's certainly not mission-critical, but it's definitely a nuisance. Thanks for any help, Steve

[slime-devel] a question and a bug
by Larry D'Anna 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

The question: I'd really like to be able to use slime with a unix domain socket. I saw some stuff about this in the archives but it wasn't clear whether or not there were any plans on actually incorporating this into slime. So my question is: is anyone working on this? and if not would you accept a patch that did it? The bug: For some reason slime sets the common-lisp-indent-function property on symbols instead of the lisp-indent-function property, which is apparently what emacs actually uses. The bug is fixed by throwing the following into slime-handle-indentation-update: (put symbol 'lisp-indent-function indent)

[slime-devel] CLISP on Windows?
by Peter Seibel 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

So I was under the impression that CLISP and Slime Just Worked on Windows. However I'm trying to build the CLISP lispbox and it's not quite working. As far as I can tell the call to comint-send-string in slime-start-swank-server is not doing much. If I manually call (swank:start-server ...) in the *inferior-lisp* buffer, passing it the name of the file that slime is polling, everything starts up fine. Is there some obvious reason why that might not be working. I'm using the vanilla win32 binaries of CLISP (2.33.2) and Emacs (21.3) supplied by their respective developers and the 1.2.1 tar of SLIME. -Peter

[slime-devel] patch: improve CLISP slime-apropos-* output: setf and type
by Hoehle, Joerg-Cyril 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Hi, with that (any my prior patches), SLIME yields valuable apropos output. Here are some examples: bignum Type: (not documented) bit Function: (not documented) Setf: (not documented) Type: (not documented) bit-vector Type: (not documented) Class: (not documented) load-time-value Special Operator: (not documented) locally Macro: (not documented) Setf: (not documented) ext:local Macro: Return the closure defined locally with LABELS or FLET. Setf: Modify the local definition (LABELS or FLET). Although most stuff in CLISP has no documentation string, I find it already valuable to appear there as type/class/variable/ setf-able/macro/special-operator/generic-function/function. Enjoy, Jorg Hohle.
