[slime-devel] slime apparently mis-reporting closed connection
by Samium Gromoff 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

After well into the second decade of slime-disconnect/slime-connect loop iteration (interweaved with normal operation) the emacs side of slime stopped recognising connection status. I`m doing a slime-disconnect, restarting swank and slime-connect, however immediately after this either a slime-load-file or a (load ...) in slime repl result in a message "Connection closed." i have some time before i will have to reboot the machine, and until then i can provide various forensics upon request... regards, Samium Gromoff

[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.

[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] Freeze on SLIME development?
by Jonathon McKitrick 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

I understand that SLIME has gone 2.0 recently. Is that why the CVS tree has been so quiet? Jonathon McKitrick -- My other computer is your Windows box.

Hello Everytime I call slime-disconnect, SLIME-PROTOCOL-ERROR is signaled and swank prints out "Event history". Is this normal? Thanks.

[slime-devel] encoding problem ?
by Jean-Christophe Helary 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

I am just starting to use slime (2.0) and noticed the following problem (which may not be a problem but I can't seem to find a solution): I have a source file that includes Japanese, English and French, it is encoded in UTF-8 and when I load it I get: > invalid byte #xE7 in CHARSET:ASCII conversion > [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR] > > Restarts: > 0: [ABORT-REQUEST] Abort handling SLIME request. > 1: [ABORT] ABORT > > Backtrace: > <snip> Is there any way out of this ? If I can't use Unicode to be able to work with multiple languages it really is a pity. Jean-Christophe Helary ps I use CLISP.

[slime-devel] Trying to connect slime to clisp
by Deb Midya 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Hi! I am a new user to slime 2.0. I want some help to connect slime to clisp 2.38. I have attempted and steps are below. Thanks in advance. 1. Installation of slime 2.0 (Windows XP) I have downloaded slime 2.0 (compressed zipped file) and extracted all the file into /Deb/slime/slime-2.0 2. Installation of clisp 2.38 (Windows XP) I have downloaded clisp-2.38-win32-with-readline-and-gettext which is a compressed (zipped) file. I have unzipped it and put all the files into the directory Deb//clisp/clisp-2.38. 3. Try As per the quick setup instructions of slime in README file, I have created a text file with the following four lines. (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Deb/slime/slime-2.0/") ; your SLIME directory (setq inferior-lisp-program "/Deb/clisp/clisp-2.38") ; your Lisp system (require 'slime) (slime-setup) [Note: I could not follow the line: Add this to your ~/.emacs file and fill in the appropriate filenames:] Where do I get ~/.emacs file? And how can I use the above four lines of commands to connect slime to clisp? I have cut the first line and tried to put it at the command line of clisp, but it does not accept. I have typed manually the first aline at the command line of clisp. It does not work (error: UNDEFINED FUNCTION ADD-TO-LIST). Where as, it accepts the second line. May I request you where am I going wrong? What's the best way of doing it? I am looking forward for your response. Regards Deb --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!

[slime-devel] slime2 vs. syntax errors
by Samium Gromoff 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Say i have the following (obviously wrong, but let`s for the sake of argument pretend that i didn`t notice) code: (defstruct foo (bar nil (type (or nil t)))) When i slime-load-file this code i get the following error condition signaled to me via SLDB: Execution of a form compiled with errors. Form: (DEFSTRUCT FOO (BAR NIL (TYPE (OR NIL T)))) Compile-time-error: (during macroexpansion of (DEFSTRUCT FOO ...)) error while parsing arguments to DESTRUCTURING-BIND: odd number of elements in keyword/value list: ((TYPE (OR NIL T))) [Condition of type SB-INT:COMPILED-PROGRAM-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [ABORT] Abort SLIME compilation. 1: [ABORT-REQUEST] Abort handling SLIME request. 2: [TERMINATE-THREAD] Terminate this thread (#<THREAD "worker" {B6888B1}>) Backtrace: 0: ((SB-C::TOP-LEVEL-FORM (ERROR (QUOTE SB-INT:COMPILED-PROGRAM-ERROR) :MESSAGE "(during macroexpansion of (DEFSTRUCT FOO ...)) error while parsing arguments to DESTRUCTURING-BIND: odd number of elements in keyword/value list: ((TYPE (OR NIL T)))" #1="#<...>" . #1#))) 1: (SB-FASL::LOAD-FASL-GROUP #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl" {B6D3F51}>) 2: (SB-FASL::LOAD-AS-FASL #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl" {B6D3F51}> NIL #<unavailable argument>) 3: (SB-FASL::INTERNAL-LOAD #P"/home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl" #P"/home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl" :ERROR NIL NIL :BINARY NIL) 4: (SB-FASL::INTERNAL-LOAD #P"/home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl" #P"/home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl" :ERROR NIL NIL NIL :DEFAULT) 5: (LOAD #P"/home/deepfire/source/sdlsq/tmp.fasl") ... So, what is the problem with that? Thing is, you my argue that the error specification is precise enough. However if i want to jump to the source code location which caused this error, after striking 'v' on /any/ entry in the debug stack, i get errors like this: unhandled DEBUG-CONDITION: #<SB-DI::COMPILED-DEBUG-FUN (SB-C::TOP-LEVEL-FORM (ERROR (QUOTE SB-INT:COMPILED-PROGRAM-ERROR) :MESSAGE "(during macroexpansion of (DEFSTRUCT FOO ...)) error while parsing arguments to DESTRUCTURING-BIND: odd number of elements in keyword/value list: ((TYPE (OR NIL T)))" #1="#<...>" . #1#))> has no debug-block information. In fact, observing the debug stack makes it clear that none of its entries bear direct relevance to the source at fault. It points into the guts of the SBCL macroexpander. So this raises the question -- how do i jump to the source location of a syntax error? regards, Samium Gromoff
