[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] How to inspect locals
by Jonathon McKitrick 27 Aug '06

27 Aug '06

Hi all, when running SBCL and a condition occurs that causes a break, how can I view the locals that have been bound in the function? Viewing the arguments isn't hard, but I cannot seem to figure out the locals. -Jonathon -- "I am sure that Jesus would use a command prompt. Hello? Ten Commandments??"

[slime-devel] sbcl stream flushing race
by Robert J. Macomber 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

After some time, I've finally got annoyed by the SBCL output race buglet to do something about it. For those who haven't seen this (either because you don't use sbcl, or your systems aren't the "right" speed to trigger it), sometimes when outputting to the dedicated output stream, multiple flushes will be done to aren't the "right" speed to trigger it), sometimes when outputting to the dedicated output stream, multiple flushes will be done at the same time, resulting in something that looks like this paragraph. I have a patch that fixes it, but it's a bit of a blunt instrument. It wraps the streams passed to MAKE-STREAM-INTERACTIVE in a Gray stream containing a mutex, so that the stream acts as a monitor, preventing different threads from using it at the same time. (This changes the semantics of the make-stream-interactive interface; before it was called for side-effects, now it may or may not have a side effect and returns an "interactive" stream that may or may not be the same object as the one it was called with. All the swank backends are updated in the patch.) Currently, the patch is sbcl-only. While updating the other backends, I noticed abcl uses the same "thread which FORCE-OUTPUTs" technique, but I don't have abcl here, so I don't know if the same race manifests, if abcl even supports Gray strams, or how to create and use a mutex if the two previous conditions held. Is there any interest in this, or does anyone have a better idea how to approach this bug? -- Robert Macomber slime(a)rojoma.com / Thas on #lisp

[slime-devel] three little patches
by Gary King 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hiya, Here are three small patches for SLIME. They do the following: 1. Make find-definitions a little more flexible with an around method: if the symbol isn't in the current package, the around method goes on to look in all the packages too. (I haven't added similar logic to symbol completion but will someday). 2. Modifies swank-loader so that Allegro's alisp and mlisp programs get different locations. Otherwise mlisp complains about alisp's files. 3. Added two more symbols to the exports list in swank-openmcl.

[slime-devel] source location snippet searching
by Taylor R. Campbell 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

If the Lisp system provides a snippet hint for a source location, `slime-goto-source-location' uses `slime-isearch' to find the nearest occurrence of it in order to narrow down the location better, and subsequently uses `slime-search-call-site' to narrow it down even further. However, the search may send the point off into some random place in the file, even in a completely different defun, but then `slime-search-call-site' narrows itself to whichever defun it's on and searches *there*, so if `slime-isearch' got lost then the whole thing will get lost. Is there a reason that `slime-goto-source-location' does not narrow to the defun before running `slime-isearch'? The above problem is solved by this simple patch: Index: slime.el =================================================================== RCS file: /project/slime/cvsroot/slime/slime.el,v retrieving revision 1.605 diff -u -r1.605 slime.el --- slime.el 26 Mar 2006 03:51:56 -0000 1.605 +++ slime.el 30 Mar 2006 23:51:34 -0000 @@ -5043,7 +5043,9 @@ (slime-goto-location-buffer buffer) (slime-goto-location-position position) (when-let (snippet (getf hints :snippet)) - (slime-isearch snippet)) + (save-restriction + (narrow-to-defun) + (slime-isearch snippet))) (when-let (fname (getf hints :call-site)) (slime-search-call-site fname))) ((:error message)

[slime-devel] Multiple SLIME Inspectors
by Lynn Quam 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

It is often very useful to inspect more than one object (object-tree) at the same time. With SLIME, one can Inspect an object, and then rename the *Slime Inspector* buffer, and inspect another object, getting a new *Slime Inspector* buffer. (It would be better to have a "Spawn New Inspector" command.) However, inspect operations in the old (renamed) buffer cause the results to be displayed in the new inspector rather than the "current" inspector. How hard would it be to make this work.
