[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

[slime-devel] Problems with SLIME and LispWorks 5
by Bill Atkins 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

'm having trouble getting SLIME to start with LispWorks 5.0. I'm running the latest CVS of SLIME and I don't have any problems with CLISP or SBCL. I started Emacs without loading my configuration file ("emacs -q"), then loaded SLIME and evaluated (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/ local/bin/lispworks -tty") . Then I ran SLIME and watched some output scroll through *inferior-lisp*, only to stop at a CL-USER> prompt. The echo area informs me that SLIME is still polling the connection ("Polling "/tmp/slime.1257".. (Abort with `M-x slime- abort-connection'.)"). Clearing out old FASL's doesn't seem to make a difference. This is an Intel Mac, if that's relevant. The contents of inferior-lisp are below.

[slime-devel] Connection to Emacs lost under LispWorks 5.0
by Chris Dean 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

When I evaluate (code-char 8217) in the SLIME repl, the Emacs connection to the Lisp process is lost. It looks like lisp is still running when I look at my ps output. This is under Linux using LispWorks 5.0 and the latest CVS slime. The *inferior-lisp* buffer has the message ;; swank:close-connection: #\U+2019 is not of type BASE-CHAR. I assume this is some sort of encoding problem, but I'm not sure where. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Cheers, Chris Dean
