[slime-devel] Standard output no longer appears in REPL
by Steven E. Harris 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

It's been a couple of months since I last used SLIME. Today I noticed that when I evaluate expressions in the REPL that write to *standard-output*, the output appears in the *inferior-lisp* buffer, but not in the REPL as it used to. I'm using GNU Emacs on Windows atop the CLISP Cygwin build. SLIME is up to date with CVS. Is there some new configuration required to restore the old behavior with output streams feeding into the REPL output? -- Steven E. Harris

[slime-devel] Add hook to swank::dispatch-event
by Paulo Madeira 25 May '11

25 May '11

What do you think about adding a hook to swank::dispatch-event, much alike the mechanism in slime-dispatch-event? The purpose would be to support any set of commands that the contribs add, or even the user, through .swank.lisp or any other means. Right now, you can't send any command to Emacs that isn't in dispatch-event's destructuring-case. Paulo Madeira

[slime-devel] Indent IF*
by Gábor Melis 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello Attached is a hack based on the code that indents LOOP (in contrib/slime-indentation.el) to indent IF*. I'm aware that few people hack on code with IF* but to them it's quite useful. You need to load the slime-indentation contrib and this file. It does this: (if* (eq t nil) then () () elseif (dsf) thenret x else (balbkj) (sdf)) Yes, that was the spec and the user doc. Cheers, Gabor

[slime-devel] Indentation question
by Nikodemus Siivola 08 May '11

08 May '11

I have a nasty habit of writing macros with multiple keyword clauses in them--like this: (deffoo foo (stuff) (:bar (a b) (cons a b)) (:zot (a b c) (fii a b c)) (:default 42) (:error (crap))) which of course tend to indent terribly (deffoo foo (stuff) (:bar (a b) (cons a b)) (:zot (a b c) (fii a b c)) (:default 42) (:error (crap))) I've occasionally added special indentation rules for these things in .emacs, but that's no fun at all. I've also sometimes used non-keyword symbols and added global definitions which tell slime how to indent things: (defmacro bar (lambda-list &body body) (error "oops, not in DEFFOO")) None of these is really satisfactory: hacking .emacs means users of a library that has macros with this style don't get the correct indentation in Slime out of the box. Using non-keyword symbols makes the code harder to read. (Keywords make it obvious that those are clauses or options of some sort.) Can someone suggest something better? Cheers, -- Nikodemus

[slime-devel] How to load something after Lisp starts
by Elliott Slaughter 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to ask slime to load something after a Lisp session has started. I've tried the following (eval-after-load "slime" '(progn ... (slime-interactive-eval "..."))) But the expression seems to never get run. I've also tried (progn (slime) (while (not (slime-connected-p)) (sleep-for 0 200)) (slime-interactive-eval "...")) Which works, but is horrible in other ways. Is there a good way to do this? Thanks. -- Elliott Slaughter "Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.

[slime-devel] Slime vs Franz Eli
by Chris Kim 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, all, I've been using Slime on top of Franz ACL for quite a while. My experience with Slime is very positive and I like Slime better in every aspects except in following situations. 1. Slime debugger: It prints bunch of Slime (swank: ..... ) related messages that I'm not interested. It's always hard to trying to comb through messages that I'm interested. How can I turn Slime related messages off? 2. While debugging, evaulating expression does not print anything but only the retuned result. Can I have it print to the standard output, i.e., console? 3. Lack of REPL command: Franz Eli supports REPL commands, for example, ":proc" for listing processes, ":pa" to change package and so on. Is there way to add them in? Thank you very much and I appreciate your efforts making Slime the best list-emacs interface. -chris

[slime-devel] swank:find-definitions-for-emacs doesn't support definition names other than symbols
by Paulo Madeira 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

M-. in slime no longer accepts dspecs other than symbols, since this change: http://bit.ly/dWJiDp I guess that change was made only to accommodate this complaint: http://bit.ly/fZLIxl This breaks two use-cases for me: to find a specific definition in ACL with M-. (method <name> [qualifiers] (<specializers>+)), and to issue swank:ed-in-emacs in certain IDE hooks/wrappers. I can workaround both cases by extracting the `second' from the list recursively until I only have a symbol, and let Slime list me all definitions with that name, but I believe this is sub-optimal when I already know the definition I want. I believe this can happen in other implementations too. Perhaps using a recursive non-interning reader, e.g. stop reading if it cannot find-symbol. Paulo Madeira
