tags 517839 + upstream thanks Hi Christoph! Cc:ing the slime-devel mailing list, since this is an upstream issue (already reported, read below).

Please always set LANG=C when you provide logs, since it is difficult to parse foreign languages ;-) I can reproduce the bug on a clean cowbuilder chroot: first, I created it for lenny, then installed slime together with xemacs21 and emacs22 (no errors).

[slime-devel] Putting FASLs compiled from emacs in the same place as ASDF
by John Fremlin 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

For a while I patched SLIME so that it would put FASLs in the same place as ASDF was told to put them. This keeps miscellaneous .fasls from cluttering up source directories. The way it did this was to modify all the swank-${impl}.lisp files. Now I have been pleasantly surprised to see that the compile output-file has been very decently abstracted away. It isn't perfect but it at least supports the customisations by Debian's common-lisp-controller::alternative-root-path-to-fasl-path. Can I suggest this replacement for fasl-pathname? Or at least that a convenient way of allowing a similar customization be integrated? (Maybe allow *fasl-directory* to be a function?) (defun fasl-pathname (input-file options) (cond ((getf options :fasl-directory) (let* ((str (getf options :fasl-directory)) (dir (filename-to-pathname str))) (assert (char= (aref str (1- (length str))) #\/)) (compile-file-pathname input-file :output-file dir))) (*fasl-directory* (compile-file-pathname input-file :output-file *fasl-directory*)) (t (or (ignore-errors (first (asdf:output-files (make-instance 'asdf:compile-op) (make-instance 'asdf:cl-source-file :name (pathname-name (pathname input-file)) :parent (make-instance 'asdf:module :pathname nil :name "") :pathname nil)))) (compile-file-pathname input-file)))))

[slime-devel] slime troubles
by Gary King 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I just installed slime fresh from CVS on OS X using Aquamacs When I try > (require 'slime) > (require 'slime-autoloads) > (slime-setup '(slime-scratch slime-editing-commands slime-repl > slime-c-p-c slime-autodoc > slime-editing-commands)) and start slime (using M-- M-x slime and allegro), I get a happy *inferior-lisp* but no REPL. If I try using sbcl instead, the same thing happens. I don't have time right now to fuss and futz with slime setup; I'm not sure why what I'm doing isn't working and the HTML manual isn't much help. Suggestions much appreciated. thanks, -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM * gwking on twitter

[slime-devel] ABCL newline & input/output
by szergling 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi all, I think I roughly see the policy for the way ABCL treats newlines on different operating systems. But there are some bits that don't seem to fit well with Slime. I have a specific problem in mind here. In the latest (3 Mar) slime/swank, I narrowed the issue down to this (ignore indentation, and the REPL numbers, they're out of order): Firstly, this is the 0.13.0 ABCL tarball. Running on Windows. CL-USER(33): (lisp-implementation-type) "Armed Bear Common Lisp" CL-USER(34): (lisp-implementation-version) "0.13.0" CL-USER(39): *features* (:ASDF :X86 :JAVA-1.5 :ARMEDBEAR :ABCL :COMMON-LISP :ANSI-CL :WINDOWS :CDR6) Internal newline representation CL-USER(35): #\linefeed #\Newline SWANK(57): #\return #\Return CL-USER(31): (coerce (format nil "~%") 'list) (#\Newline) CL-USER(32): (mapcar #'char-code (coerce (format nil "~%") 'list)) (10) CL-USER(30): (with-open-file (s "c:/home/temp/temp.txt" :direction :output :if-exists :supersede) (write-string (format nil "~%") s)) " " CL-USER(38): (with-open-file (s "c:/home/temp/temp.txt" :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)) (loop for b = (read-byte s nil nil) while b collect b)) (13 10) It looks like ABCL uses #\Newline internally. Conversion happens on print/reading. Doesn't clisp do conversions on prints? Swank's encode-message ran afoul of this issue because the encoded message length (internal length of string) and what is written out with write-string are inconsistent. >From a cursory skim through the Hyperspec, I think ABCL hasn't violated any standards, so slime is the one who's wrong here, but I don't really know the Hyperspec that well. What does everyone think? If I apply the attached hack, I now get the following problem in my Slime REPL: CL-USER> 60 60^M CL-USER> So it's probably not quite the right way to do things. Any suggestions or fixes? Cheers, Theam Yong Chew
