[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] Running tasks when slime isn't connected
by Shaun Morris 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

I'm writing an application that needs to continue to process data, even when slime is not connected. If I had threads, I might use them, but I'm using CLISP. My solution to this problem is to insert a loop that checks the status of the socket, and processes a chunk of data, until the socket is ready, before accepting the connection. I'd really like something like this committed, so I don't have to maintain my own version of slime forever, but I'm open to any other solutions as well. My changes follow. Thanks, Shaun ------------------------------------------------------------------------- swank-backend.lisp: (definterface connection-available-p (socket) "Returns t if (accept-connection socket) will proceed without blocking.") swank.lisp: (defvar *disconnected-idle-hook* '() "This hook is run repeatedly, whenever a client is not connected.") (defun serve-connection (socket style dont-close external-format) (loop until (or (null *disconnected-idle-hook*) (connection-available-p socket)) do (run-hook *disconnected-idle-hook*)) (let ((client (accept-authenticated-connection socket :external-format external-format))) (unless dont-close (close-socket socket)) (let ((connection (create-connection client style external-format))) (run-hook *new-connection-hook* connection) (push connection *connections*) (serve-requests connection)))) swank-clisp.lisp: (defimplementation connection-available-p (socket) (socket:socket-wait socket 0))

[slime-devel] slime-filename-translations xemacs-compatability
by Nathan Bird 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

* slime.el (slime-find-filename-translators): use assoc* instead of assoc-default. assoc* is out of cl-seq which is in both x and gnu emacs (slime-filename-translations): added a default identity mapping for the system-name as reported by elisp. Once I fixed the assoc*, I started getting errors when developing entirely locally that it couldn't find a translation for "NATHAN", which is my machine-instance (inventive name isn't it?) correctly reported by ACL. Fix: add a translation for the system-name as reported by the host emacs that just uses identity. Attached is a diff (filename-translation-compat.diff) to just the slime.el, since I have a separate patch outstanding that also hits the changelog. There is also a diff (nathanbird-4-2-06.diff) that encompasses this change and the previous one entitled "swank-source-files defaults". If you need me to resend this patch once you have committed the previous patch or with some other parameters just let me know. Man, I really like darcs :-) Nathan Bird

[slime-devel] Stream flushing race
by Robert J. Macomber 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Any comments on the second stream-flush race patch I posted? I've now been using it more or less continously sinec it was posted, and it's solved the duplicated output problem for me nicely, without causing any problems. -- Robert Macomber slime(a)rojoma.com / Thas on #lisp

[slime-devel] filename patch
by Christian Lynbech 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

I am having troubles with the filename handling in slime. The load path to slime ends up being something like this: ~/Tools/UPSTREAM/slime/... which the lisp (including both CMUCL and SBCL) doesn't like. The following patch fixes the problem for me: ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | christian #\@ defun #\. dk ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - petonic(a)hal.com (Michael A.

[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] can't load slime (sbcl)
by Irène Durand 05 Apr '06

Hello, I am trying to have Slime and SBCL on my students machines. On my machine everything works fine but on the students machines I obtain at the end of the loading the error error in process filter: Wrong number of arguments: nil, 12 in the emacs mini-buffer. I have SBCL 0.9.11 and the latest cvs version of Slime. Any idea of what can be wrong?
