[slime-devel] Highlighting of forms from sldb?
by Raymond Toy 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

I think this changed some time ago, but I didn't reported it. When I'm in sldb and press "v" on one of the stack frames, slime brings up the source file quite nicely in another window. Previously (with xemacs), the offending form would be highlighted, with the cursor in the sldb buffer. Now, what happens is that the offending form is very momentarily highlighted (in blue). Is my memory wrong, or has this changed? In any case, it's certainly much nicer if the form were highlighted, even if the cursor is in the sldb window. Ray

[slime-devel] 'q' in temporary buffer closes the window rather than returning to REPL
by Brett Hoerner 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

The documentation says, "Temporary buffers can be dismissed by pressing q. This kills the buffer and restores the window configuration as it was before the buffer was displayed." Using emacs 22.3.1 (or the latest Aquamacs or CarbonEmacs) and a CVS checkout of SLIME (current) when I (for example) open documentation with C-c C-d C-d and press 'q', it closes the whole window. I expect (based on the documentation above) that it should actually kill that buffer, show the REPL again, and put my cursor/focus back in my main window where I started, correct? Is there anything I could have set wrong, or somewhere I should look to debug this, if so? It would save me so much time if I didn't have to kill buffer and change windows after each little lookup, etc. It should be noted that I am using Clojure with swank-clojure, if that has any affect. I imagine that SLIME is what handles the interface though. Thanks! Brett

[slime-devel] is there a way to suppress polling in the minibuffer?

When I run SLIME there is a constant transmission of the message "Polling /tmp/slime ... Is there a way to keep the polling but stop the constant minibuffer notifications? Thanks, --Bob Solovay

[slime-devel] Implementation Specific Configuration
by Volkan YAZICI 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

Hi, How can set local environment variables in slime-mode specific to each lisp implementation? I tried to use something similar to below code snippet. (defun custom-slime-mode () (interactive) ... ;; Implementation specific symbol completion. (setq slime-complete-symbol-function (case slime-lisp-implementation-name ((x y z) 'slime-simple-complete-symbol) (t 'slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol)))) (add-to-list 'slime-mode-hook 'custom-slime-mode) But emacs complains that (void-variable slime-lisp-implementation-name) How do you define implementation specific local environment variables? Regards.

[slime-devel] Fuzzy completion patch
by Geoff Wozniak 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

When using fuzzy completion with ACL's "modern" lisp (mlisp), completion of symbols in the keyword package fails. This small fix corrects that by changing the package identifier from the string "KEYWORD" to the form (symbol-name :keyword) in swank-c-p-c.lisp. -- Geoff

[slime-devel] Using SLIME with :sb-thread enabled in SBCL?
by Benjamin Lambert 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

Dear SLIME, I've been having this problem, in one way or another, for a long time now. But, I think, I'd always found some combination of SLIME and SBCL that worked together. Now, I'm stuck. I'm running SBCL 1.0.22, on Linux x86-64. I believe I have a very recent version of SLIME, checked out from CVS within the last few weeks. SLIME seems to work fine with the SBCL binary distribution. But, when I recompile it with ":sb-thread" enabled, Slime won't start. So, it seems that the threading is interfering with SLIME? When I starts Slime, this is the error I see see this in mini-buffer: List connection closed unexpectedly: exited abnormally with code 256 And, in the *inferior-lisp* buffer I see: " Implicitly creating new generic function STREAM-READ-CHAR-WILL- HANG-P. ; loading #P"/home/benlambert/.slime/fasl/2008-11-02/sbcl-1.0.22-linux- x86-64/swank.fasl" WARNING: These Swank interfaces are unimplemented: (CALLS-WHO DISASSEMBLE-FRAME SLDB-BREAK-AT-START SLDB-BREAK-ON-RETURN WHO-SPECIALIZES) ;; Swank started at port: 41099. 41099 * Process inferior-lisp hangup" I'm glad to provide any more debugging information that I can. Is there any fix, or workaround, that I could try? That is, short of just not using threading. Thanks for any help you might be able to give. Ben Lambert P.S. I'm a long time user and a big fan of Slime. Good work, all. -- Benjamin Lambert Graduate Student of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University www.cs.cmu.edu/~belamber Mobile: 617-869-1844

[slime-devel] parsing of local functions & macros
by Tamas K Papp 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Hi, I find SLIME's ability to display argument syntax in the status bar and complete function names and argument lists very useful. I am just wondering it if would be possible to make this work for local functions and macros too. Eg when I write (flet ((strange-function (a b) (+ a b (* a b)))) (strng-f then C-c C-i could offer the completion strange-function among the choices, then its arguments would display in the status bar, and C-c C-s would complete them. Same for macrolet. I know very little about SLIME's internal workings. Is it possible to do this? Thank you, Tamas

[slime-devel] swank-listener-hooks fix, paredit-friendly REPL patch
by Ivan Shvedunov 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello. I've discovered a problem with swank-listener-hooks (rendering REPL unusable), which is needed for CLG. The trivial patch that restores it's functionality is attached. Another patch attached to this message makes SLIME REPL usable in Paredit mode by using the part of input between its start and (point) as history search pattern. I've sent a patch doing that long time ago, it was applied but later accidentally (as I understood it after asking on #lisp) reverted. I forgot about it for a while and just kept changes in my copy of SLIME, but now I decided to share them again. Thanks. Ivan
