[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.

for those of you who don't follow c.l.l (which is probaly a good idea) i commited William Bland's patch[1]. see the ChangeLog for details. 1 - http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/e1d0b7bf… -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget the perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen

[slime-devel] [patch] closing connections with :fd-handler style
by Stephen Compall 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

As far as I can tell, the only way a Swank connection object with style :fd-handler will ever be closed due to EOF (with close-connection) is if either the fd-handler implementation detects the EOF state and knows how to destroy Swank connections, or a condition is raised in the dynamic context of with-reader-error-handler. Looking at the topmost form in that context, however, it can only happen if (listen socket) answers T, so that the attempt to read can proceed and raise an eof-error, which gets wrapped up, etc. I modified process-available-input to test (listen socket) only after calling FN at least once; after all, it always returns T when the handler is called for a normal input state. Without this patch, my fd-handler backend gets into an endless loop calling the handler in install-fd-handler (with the :eof state); with this patch, the socket is closed, removed from *connections*, and from the fd-handler backend properly. Attached is the patch. -- Stephen Compall http://scompall.nocandysoftware.com/blog

[slime-devel] Odd bug - heads up
by Alan Ruttenberg 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

I found that presentations which were in my repl input history, weren't being recalled as presentations when I recalled previous history - they were coming back as text, and so would generally trigger a reader error when I tried the command. I tracked this down to (defun slime-repl-replace-input (string) (slime-repl-delete-current-input) (setq it string) (insert-and-inherit string)) If one uses insert, instead of insert-and-inherit then repl history works correctly for presentations, for me. No idea why this is problematic. It looks like this function has been this way for a long time - perhaps a bug in the emacs I am using (OS X tiger, fink installed, I think). Anyways, thought I'd post this in case anyone else was having the same problem, or had some insight as to why this is happening. -Alan

[slime-devel] patch: make slime-echo-arglist show initargs/initforms for make-instance
by Luís Oliveira 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hello, The attached patch makes slime-echo-arglist detect (make-instance 'quoted-symbol ...) forms and uses the quoted symbol to find the class and present the initargs and initforms in the mini-buffer. For example: CL-USER> (defclass foo () ((a :initarg :initarg-a :initform nil) (b :initarg :initarg-b) c)) #<STANDARD-CLASS FOO> CL-USER> (make-instance<space> ;; minibuffer displays: (make-instance class &rest initargs) CL-USER> (make-instance 'foo<space> ;; minibuffer displays: (make-instance 'foo &key (initarg-a nil) initarg-b) The code is a bit ugly, specially on the elisp side. My elisp-fu being very weak doesn't help. Suggestions on how to improve that are most welcome! BTW, the ChangeLog's encoding seems to be latin-1, wouldn't utf-8 be better? -- Luís Oliveira luismbo (@) gmail (.) com Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=pt

[slime-devel] Slime will not start on Fedora with CLISP
by stephen.3.odonnell＠bt.com 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Guys, I am totally new to Lisp, but am trying to learn, however I cannot get slime to install on my linux box! I want to be able to use slime with clisp using emacs from the command line (ie in a terminal window as oppose to in a GUI). I have tried both the latest version from CVS and the stable released version, but both give the same error. My .emacs entry and output when slime attempts to start are below. Any help would be much appreciated! emacs entry:- (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/sodonnel/slime/slime") (require 'slime) (slime-setup) Startup output:- (load "/home/sodonnel/slime/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (swank:start-server "/tmp/slime.12088" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix) i i i i i i i ooooo o ooooooo ooooo ooooo I I I I I I I 8 8 8 8 8 o 8 8 I \ `+' / I 8 8 8 8 8 8 \ `-+-' / 8 8 8 ooooo 8oooo `-__|__-' 8 8 8 8 8 | 8 o 8 8 o 8 8 ------+------ ooooo 8oooooo ooo8ooo ooooo 8 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Michael Stoll 1992, 1993 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Marcus Daniels 1994-1997 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Pierpaolo Bernardi, Sam Steingold 1998 Copyright (c) Bruno Haible, Sam Steingold 1999-2000 Copyright (c) Sam Steingold, Bruno Haible 2001-2006 [1]> ;; Loading file /home/sodonnel/slime/slime/swank-loader.lisp ... ;; Loading file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/swank-backend\ .fas ... ;; Loaded file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/swank-backend.\ fas ;; Loading file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/nregex.fas ..\ . ;; Loaded file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/nregex.fas ;; Loading file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/xref.fas ... ;; Loaded file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/xref.fas ;; Loading file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/metering.fas \ ... ;; Loaded file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/metering.fas ;; Loading file /home/sodonnel/.slime/fasl/clisp-2.38-unix-pc386/swank-clisp.f\ as ...

[slime-devel] potentially harmful bug when restarting SLIME
by Bradford W Miller 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

I'm a new user of SLIME; built from CVS, and am using emacs (fink) 21.3.50.1 under X, and Lispworks (Pro) on Mac. Startup slime note that the *SLIME-Typeout* screen appears (separately), read in some buffers. Kill slime (m-x slime-quit-lisp). Delete the buffer *Slime-Typeout* which is then replaced by some other buffer Emacs has, probably one of your source code buffers. Restart slime. Any output slime would direct to the *SLIME-Typeout* window is now directed to the exposed buffer in the mini-screen instead. Accidentally saving this file could lead to lost work. (for instance, in the REPL, type "(defun " to get a prompt for the arguments to defun).

[slime-devel] Slime support for metaclasses
by Ian Eslick 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Slime's default inspector won't show slot values for metaclasses that override the default storage locations for objects slots (i.e. where the default slot-boundp returns nil). The elephant interface to Berkeley-DB is one such system. The (defmethod inspect-for-emacs ((o standard-object) inspector) (declare (ignore inspector)) (values "An object." `("Class: " (:value ,(class-of o)) (:newline) "Slots:" (:newline) ,@(loop for slot in (swank-mop:class-slots (class-of o)) for slot-def = (find-effective-slot o slot) for slot-name = (swank-mop:slot-definition-name slot-def) collect `(:value ,slot-def ,(string slot-name)) collect " = " collect (if (swank-mop:slot-boundp-using-class (class-of o) o slot) `(:value ,(swank-mop:slot-value-using-class (class-of o) o slot-def)) "#<unbound>") collect '(:newline))))) If you add the two calls to slot-boundp-using-class and slot-value-using-class as shown above you get the expected proper behavior for lisps that don't call the -using-class mop functions from the slot-value and slot-boundp functions. (I ran into this on Allegro 7.0 under Mac OS X). The other change is to add these two functions to the swank-mop package exports. It's a minor enough change I figured someone who checks in regularly can update this and provide some judgement on whether there are likely to be any problems. Regards, Ian
