[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.

[slime-devel] OpenGL Integration into the REPL ?
by Sean Charles 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hello, I am currently developing 'something interesting' using SBCL and OpenGL via Apple X11. I have built SBCL and OpenGLUT from source as I am lucky enough to have an Intel 20" iMac and I wanted to make sure I was getting maximum speed i.e. no Rosetta in the way. My 'project' is coming along but it bugs me that I have to keep stopping and starting the application in order to make changes to the software because once the 'glutMainLoop' gets control the SLIME session doesn't respond anymore. I had to slightly modify the cl-opengl package as it has two symbol naming problems concerning the roman fonts but that is the only change I have had to make along with the library.lisp package which needed to be coaxed into loading my OpenGLUT build on an Intel Darwin platform. Apart from that it works very well, the MESADEMOS:GEARS averages about 4900 frames per second much to my disbelief!!! I know that SBCL does not currently support threading on the intel iMac which maybe would solve all my problems in one fell swoop. Software: SLIME CVS latest as of 13-July-2006 SBCL 0.9.13 OpenGLUT 0.6.3 I have spent a few hours reading the SWANK code trying to see where I can make changes but I am just to new to it, I have used SLIME but never before had a need to modify it and right now it looks a bit intimidating to try and figure out how to do what I would like to do which is basically find a way to make the OpenGL timer function and the display function both to 'keep the SWANK backend alive' by somehow calling whatever is needed to ensure that the SLIME session remains active at the same time as my OpenGL application is running. For me this would be incredibly productive as it means (if I have understood LISP so far [used Smalltalk for about 6 years]) that I can fiddle with my application while it is running and see any changes that affect the display be effected the next time the display is rendered. Is this at all possible??? I would think that a new SWANK back end could be created. I have also toyed with the idea of hacking the SBCL source code directly to contain the OpenGL libraries and somehow making the changes at that point but id I thought SWANK / SLIME was big, SBCL is enormous by comparison and I'd rather be coding my application that fiddling with the tools. Many thanks Sean Charles www.objitsu.com

RE: [slime-devel] Feature suggestion
by Bradford W Miller 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

"* everyone should learn to just bind the `[' key to insert-delimited-parenthesis anyhow." Not those of us who use logic languages embedded into Lisp. []'s are used to denote rules as ()'s are used to denote expressions. But I concur that the lispworks behavior is surprising, confusing, and should not be taken as a general model of how most of us want to interact with the REPL. On the other hand, most of us would never have attempted to enter more than one variable into the REPL at one time because it breaks our mental model of READ.

[slime-devel] How to inspect locals

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] Workaround for possible HANDLER-CASE bug in OpenMCL
by Kai Kaminski 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi, I just tried to use the latest Slime with OpenMCL 1.0 (ppc32) and it choked on a HANDLER-CASE form in SWANK.LISP, because the :NO-ERROR clause is not the last. According to the Hyperspec that is legal, but OpenMCL doesn't like it anyway. Swapping the two clauses in the HANDLER-CASE form solves the problem (at least for me). I've attached a patch. Thanks, Kai

[slime-devel] SBCL takes 100% of cpu
by Alan Pavicic 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hello, after I enter 'slime-disconnect' my sbcl goes on 100% of cpu. I am running sbcl 0.9.15 and two different versions of slime from gentoo tree: slime-2.0.0.20060805 and slime-cvs. That's happening on two different machines. I tried to strace what is going on but sbcl crashed with 'Argh! corrupted error depth, halting' Following lines are from my .sbclrc: (setf swank:*use-dedicated-output-stream* nil) (setf swank:*communication-style* :fd-handler) (swank:create-server :dont-close t) Any ideas?

[slime-devel] (setq swank:*globally-redirect-io* t) no longer works?
by Lars Rune Nøstdal 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hello, Using latest CVS of SBCL and Slime with swank:*globally-redirect-io* set to T no longer directs output to *standard-output* to the Emacs-buffer *slime-repl sbcl* when printing in a thread; it gets printed in the Emacs-buffer *inferior-lisp* instead. This happens when I print to *standard-output* from a thread, like this: cl-user> (sb-thread:make-thread (lambda () (write-line "hello?"))) #<sb-thread:thread {B0FC379}> Now I know I can fix this by binding *standard-output* inside the lambda via a lexical variable pointing to the "original" *standard-output* "outside" the thread. I'm wondering if this change of behavior of swank:*globally-redirect-io* is intended or maybe caused by something else? I've found this feature useful when doing quick and nasty debugging - so I kind of miss it. :) -- Lars Rune Nøstdal http://lars.nostdal.org/

[slime-devel] Using SLIME with OpenMCL with Obj-C bridge
by Phil 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I'm having a minor problem using SLIME with OpenMCL and it's Objective-C bridge. Specifically, I want the REPL and any other threads that get created by SLIME to process commands via OpenMCL to be wrapped by a with-autorelease-pool call (which is defined by the bridge) to prevent memory leakage when creating Obj-C objects. Where would be the appropriate places in swank-openmcl to accomplish this? Thanks, Phil

[slime-devel] Help, can't get slime working.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.7, and I've tried getting slime to work with the OS's emacs, xemacs and emacs21 from fink, as well as a Carbon Emacs package that was linked from the Apple downloads site. I've tried the slime from fink, slime from cvs, and downloaded tgz, and the slime that came bundled in the Carbon Emacs. I've tried using clisp, cmucl, sbcl, and openmcl, and nothing I've tried works. Below is my current .emacs file, which is set to use slime from the tgz file, and sbcl from fink.

I get a little something, a menu bar ' SLIME' addition, when I M-x slime-mode; but no REPL, etc. I spent sometime mining GMANE for an answer, but I only saw a partially similar unanswered question by Peter Siebel.
