[slime-devel] Restartable frames
by Terje Norderhaug 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Six swank back-ends implement the RESTART-FRAME interface. Yet only two of these back-ends implements FRAME-RESTARTABLE-P, which is used by the BACKTRACE slimefun to identify whether a frame is restartable. Allegro and SBCL implement both restart-frame and frame-restartable- p. ABCL, CCL, CLISP and LispWorks only implement restart-frame. For consistency, perhaps back-ends that implement restart-frame also could implement frame-restartable-p? -- Terje Norderhaug terje(a)in-progress.com

[slime-devel] autodoc tweaks for CLON object system
by David O'Toole 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi everyone, I'm trying to implement the solution described in http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2008-August/015392.html However, when trying to use slime-autodoc and see if it works, as soon as point rests in between the brackets of [method-name object arg1 arg2...] i get an error with the message eldoc error: (wrong-type-argument listp [define-key)) I know this is an old thread, but I've put off implementing it long enough. Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting things to work?

[slime-devel] (:end-of-stream) clause in dispatch-event
by Tobias C. Rittweiler 19 Mar '10

Grepping for :end-of-stream only reveals that use in dispatch-event. Same for %apply. Any problem with getting rid of those? -T.

Is there a technical reason that the restart must be there or is it a time limited advertising campaign? Helmut

[slime-devel] [2nd CfP] 7th European Lisp Workshop at ECOOP'10, June 21/22
by Didier Verna 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

+------------------------------------------------------------+ | 2ND CALL FOR PAPERS | | 7th European Lisp Workshop | | June 21/22, Maribor, Slovenia - co-located with ECOOP 2010 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ News ==== Our invited speaker, Manuel Serrano, will talk about "diffuse programming" and HOP. The abstract of his presentation can be found on the website at: http://european-lisp-workshop.org/upcoming/programme.php Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: April 19, 2010 Notification of acceptance: May 05, 2010 ECOOP early registration deadline: May 10, 2010 7th European Lisp Workshop: June 21 or 22, 2010 (tbdl) Please note that registration must be done with ECOOP itself. For more information visit http://www.european-lisp-workshop.org Contact: Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr Invited Speaker =============== Manuel Serrano (INRIA, France) http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Manuel.Serrano/ Overview ======== "...Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bio-informatics, B2B and E-Commerce, Data Mining, EDA/Semiconductor applications, Expert Systems, Finance, Intelligent Agents, Knowledge Management, Mechanical CAD, Modeling and Simulation, Natural Language, Optimization, Research, Risk Analysis, Scheduling, Telecom, and Web Authoring just because these are the only things they happened to list." -- Kent Pitman Lisp, one of the eldest computer languages still in use today, is gaining momentum again. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch, making it the ideal candidate for writing Domain Specific Languages. Common Lisp, with the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), was the first object-oriented programming language to receive an ANSI standard and remains the most complete and advanced object system of any programming language, while influencing many other object-oriented programming languages that followed. This workshop will address the near-future role of Lisp-based languages in research, industry and education. We solicit contributions that discuss the opportunities Lisp provides to capture and enhance the possibilities in software engineering. We want to promote lively discussion between researchers proposing new approaches and practitioners reporting on their experience with the strengths and limitations of current Lisp technologies. The workshop will have two components: there will be formal talks, and interactive turorial/demo/coding sessions. Papers ====== Formal presentations in the workshop should take between 20 minutes and half an hour; additional time will be given for questions and answers. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming - Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches - Protocol meta-programming and libraries - New language features and abstractions - Software evolution - Development aids - Persistent systems - Dynamic optimization - Implementation techniques - Hardware Support - Efficiency, distribution and parallel programming - Educational approaches and perspectives - Experience reports and case studies Interactive Tutorial/Demo/Coding Sessions ========================================= Additionally, we invite less formal talks in the form of interactive tutorial/demo/coding sessions. The purpose of these sessions is both to demonstrate and receive feedback on any interesting Lisp system, either stable or under development. Being less formal than technical paper presentations, these sessions are expected to be highly interactive. Submission Guidelines ===================== Potential contributors are encouraged to submit: - a long paper (around 10 pages) presenting scientific and/or empirical results about Lisp-based uses or new approaches for software engineering purposes, - a short essay (5 pages) defending a position about where research, practice or education based on Lisp should be heading in the near future, - a proposal for an interactive tutorial/demo/coding session (1-2 pages) describing the involved library or application, and the subject of the session. Papers (both long and short) should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms (see below). Authors will later be required to sign an ACM copyright form, as the workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. For more information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998 Submissions should be uploaded to Easy Chair, at the following address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elw2010 Organizers ========== Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris Charlotte Herzeel, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit, Brussel Robert Strandh, LaBRI, University of Bordeaux 1, France Christophe Rhodes, Goldsmiths College, University of London -- Resistance is futile.
