[slime-devel] Question about Slime & SBCL on Windows
by Scott Turner 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

I'm currently using SLIME & SBCL (SBCL 1.0.50.24.mswinmt.876-cad5ed2 -- Kovalenko's Windows port). When I hit C-c C-c to interrupt, my Lisp dies and I have to kill Slime and restart. Am I doing something wrong, or is interrupt just not supported on SBCL? Thanks in advance for any help! -- Scott Turner

[slime-devel] Slime and clusters
by Zach Kost-Smith 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I wonder if anybody has yet to tread this path. I have been using CL at on my school's cluster. I usually develop within Slime locally, then move it to the cluster's master node and have a trial run over a remote Slime session, then once everything works, I ditch Slime and invoke my programs on the worker nodes using a bash or Lisp script (yes, we are running without a queue; crazy, huh?). I would very much like to use dispatch the jobs to the worker nodes from within Slime. More to the point, I would like to be able to start jobs on the worker nodes from my Slime connection to the master node. Now, of course I can connect to each node using a tunnel and start the jobs that way, but I want an automated interface as sketched below. I was thinking about developing something that would work for me and perhaps others. I just wanted to put this out there first to make sure it hasn't already been done and see if there are any suggests or comments on an undertaking like this. Basically all I would do is define a CL client for swank and use that to connect to worker Lisps running on each worker node from the one instance on the master. Then, if I want to send a job to the first node, all I have to do is send some code over the swank connection for the worker to evaluate and return the value. I also thought I'd write a kind of forwarder for the Swank connection so I can jump to a worker node from the master by setting the master to forward all data to the worker, and return anything coming from the worker down its connect to Slime (although, I suppose this could be arbitrarily deep, this is analogous to jumping from server to server using ssh but without the secure-ness). I am fairly convinced that this will also work (sans persistent worker Lisps) for any cluster with a queuing system that allows for interactive jobs (like the Torque/Moab combo that we use on another cluster here) and probably in a EC2 Cloud like environment as well. I'm just saying that it is possible that this could be generally useful for other people as well. Almost all of this would be on the Swank side (and thank goodness because I feel like a fish out of water in ELisp). However, I have already had trouble understanding the Slime message protocol. I'll figure it out eventually, but are there any good internals guides for Slime/Swank? Any advice is appreciated, Zach KS

[slime-devel] Unicode character misbehavior?
by Jeffrey Cunningham 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

I discovered a way to crash Slime by compiling a simple sexp containing a string. Here are the conditions: 1. Connect to a running SBCL via swank (M-x slime-connect). 2. Cut and paste the sexp below containing the smiley-face into a lisp file. 3. Compile the fragment. That's it. When I do this the inferior Lisp process is terminated "by remote peer". (let ((dangerous-string "This is a smiley-face: ☺")) (print "Important safety tip: don't do this.")) I normally only work with UTF-8 characters, and my ignorance of handling other character sets is probably the culprit here. What should I do if I want to enable slime to work with strings like this? Regards, Jeff Cunningham

[slime-devel] meta-. off by several lines on SLIME/ACL/Emacs/Windows, anyone seen this?
by mhd＠yv.org 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

When I do meta-., it takes me there, but it's off by several lines, and at a random place in the middle of the line. I think it's consistently above the def. But not by the same amount of lines each time. And I'm in a random part of the line. Should be at the beginning, right? It's stable in a session: two repeated meta-.'s take me to the same place each time. Admittedly, I've not any home work on versions of SLIME/Emacs/ACL/Windows. Not asking for anyone to do any more than say if they recall anything like this. I use SBCL and CCL with the otherwise-same stack with no similar problems

[slime-devel] Feature suggestion + minor inspector bug
by Max Mikhanosha 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

It would be really cool if XREF invoked by slime-edit-definition key, would have a key binding and a button to remove a method similar to fancy inspector. It feels silly to go back to REPL and type #'generic-function and inspect it to remove the method. The inspector bug is that 1st time you invoke inspector, is that "g" key in the inspector is not using the same readtable as original invocation of inspector. I'm using inverted readtable, and (named-readtables:in-readtable :my-readtable) in the file.lisp. Somehow when I'm inspecting objects printed in REPL, they are printed in the inspector in lower case, picking up the inverted readtable from the buffer somehow. But pressing "g" key refreshes everything in the upper case, going back to default readdable. It seems I can fix this by doing (in-readtable) in the REPL, and then it always use the inverted one. Imho principle of least surprise requires that pressing "g" key to refresh inspector view, that it would use the same readtable that view was generated with.

[slime-devel] Patch for missing type in Allegro inspector.
by Andrew Myers 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

This is a pretty minor fix. Allegro has a type :unsigned-long32 which caused a crash in the inspector on certain things.

[slime-devel] Inpsecting a variable in the lisp SLIME debugger
by Steve Quezadas 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

I am trying to inspect the value of a variable at a determined breakpoint. Here is my simplified code: (defun foo () (maplist (lambda (var) (break) var) '(a b c))) slime goes into debugger mode at this point. So I try to eval by pressing either the ":" or the "e" key and then I type "(car var)", but slime keeps on saying: The variable VAR is unbound. [Condition of type UNBOUND-VARIABLE] I am confused as to why it's saying this since "(break)" is within the scope of "var".

[slime-devel] Tramp + slime + multiple connections bug
by Zach Kost-Smith 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Well, I don't know if you consider it a but, but it sure seems like it. If you have a Tramp translations set up via Slime, it matches the translation off of the value given by (machine-instance). All is fine and good except that if you try to start a new local connection with `M-x slime' and your computer doesn't have the same (machine-instance) as the remote Lisp, Tramp gets confused as it uses the current connection to evaluate (machine-instance), then uses that to calculate the translation and it uses that translation to change the value used in the Swank load form for the new local Lisp image: (progn (load <<some-tramp-mangled-path>> :verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") <<some-other-mangled-path>> :coding-system "utf-8-unix")) This makes the slime startup die at: debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {1002941271}>: Couldn't load <<mangled>>: file does not exist. Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL. restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level. (LOAD <<mangled>> :VERBOSE T :PRINT NIL :IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST T :EXTERNAL-FORMAT :DEFAULT) 0] It would be nice if Slime by-passed Tramp completely on startup when invoked via `M-x Slime' (and perhaps always?). I did this by wrapping the SLIME body with a binding setting SLIME-FILENAME-TRANSLATIONS to nil, and I think it works. Here is a patch (this is my first time doing this, but I generated with M-x diff-buffer-with-file from Emacs; It is diffed against the probably pretty dated Slime, sorry): diff -c /home/smithzv/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/slime-20110829-cvs/slime.el /tmp/buffer-content-14752oJk *** /home/smithzv/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/slime-20110829-cvs/slime.el 2011-09-02 13:42:13.982182004 -0600 --- /tmp/buffer-content-14752oJk 2011-10-06 18:21:02.031020994 -0600 *************** *** 1076,1082 **** (defun slime (&optional command coding-system) "Start an inferior^_superior Lisp and connect to its Swank server."

For folks using cl-def, definer, and other packages that have the (def (method flags) method-name) syntax, the following snippet added to ~/.swank.lisp will start using method arguments in the message area. Replace demacs:def with the correct package name, if you are not using demacs. (swank:swank-require :swank-arglists) (in-package :swank) (defmethod arglist-dispatch ((operator (eql 'demacs:def)) arguments) (flet ((is-method (elem) (or (eq elem 'method) (and (consp elem) (eq (car elem) 'method))))) (match (cons operator arguments) (('demacs:def (#'is-method elem) (#'function-exists-p gf-name) . rest) (let ((gf (fdefinition gf-name))) (when (typep gf 'generic-function) (with-available-arglist (arglist) (decode-arglist (arglist gf)) (let ((qualifiers (loop for x in rest until (or (listp x) (empty-arg-p x)) collect x))) (return-from arglist-dispatch (make-arglist :provided-args `(method ,gf-name ,@qualifiers) :required-args `(,arglist) :rest "body" :body-p t))))))) (_)) ; Fall through ) (call-next-method))
