[slime-devel] New listener
by Liam Healy 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Missing the old Symblics Select-L and Select-Control-L, I put together the following which will create a new listener and cycle through (forward or backward) the existing listeners. Comments welcome; I'm curious to know how to get slime-new-listener to work when the current listener is busy, because my main usage of a second listener is to do something while the first listener is busy, and unless I remember to open the second listener in advance, I'm still stuck.

It isn't always clear what section you would find it in from the name alone. But what really induced me to add it was when an upgrade of xpdf at work broke its text search capability and all I had on that machine was slime.pdf. ;-) If no one else thinks it could be useful, I'll take it out. --Jeff ----- End forwarded message -----

I don't know that there is a good way to connect the shell script to the actual standard I/O in the Lisp image, but you might be able to get halfway there. You want a utility called nc (aka Netcat) that relays data between its stdin/stdout and sockets. It was designed to allow shell scripts to use streams to interface with network daemons and such. example: $ echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc host.example.com 80 > file.html You'd have to listen on a socket in the Lisp, but once that connection is made, you could use stream I/O. Netcat works with UNIX domain sockets, so you wouldn't have to worry about TCP connections from other hosts. http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ man page: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nc Another slightly less flexible possibility is Netpipes: http://web.purplefrog.com/~thoth/netpipes/netpipes.html -A -- Maxint Consulting Linux: The ultimate video game.

[slime-devel] [BUG] a repeatable way to crash a utf-8 slime session
by Samium Gromoff 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

While figuring out how to deal with unicode i stumbled upon across something which appeared to be killing slime session/sbcl with an ensuing emacs message telling something about process filters. Urfin from #lisp helped me to narrow this down to evaluation of (format t "~c" #\UD0BB), or otherwise getting #\UD0BB shown on the screen, like having it displayed as the result of evaluation. It seems to have a 100% repeatability. I have yesterday's slime and sbcl 1.0/x86/Linux. regards, Samium Gromoff

[slime-devel] loads of files in /tmp
by Samium Gromoff 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

I apologise in advance if this is a FAQ entry -- i did read the slime doc, but failed to find an answer. The thing is, after a sufficiently prolonged slime session i have tens in megabytes and hundreds in quantity of files of tmp.*\.tmp-regex-matching names. Slime does not seem to be getting rid of them, at all. I understand well that these are temporary files in a location designed to hold temporary files -- but still -- do i have to remove them myself if i happen to never reboot? regards, Samium Gromoff

[slime-devel] scripting via swank
by Gábor Melis 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Ahoj Suppose there is a long running lisp image with a swank server and I want to connect to it from shell scripts and evaluate lisp forms in an environment where *standard-output*, *standard-input* and *error-output* are bound to streams that correspond to stdout, stdin and stderr of the shell script. The only idea I had was to pass the pid of the shell script to the lisp and bind *standard-output* to (open "/proc/<pid-of-shell-script/fd/0" ...) which should work on linux. Anything nicer? Cheers, Gábor
