[slime-devel] cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to REPL
by Faheem Mitha 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I've recently started using SLIME with SBCl on Debian, where SLIME defaults to using SBCL, at least when it is installed. So far I am very impressed. I haven't been able to take off and fly yet, but I'm on the runway.:-) I'm particularly impressed by the underlining source which has compile errors, and doing a popup on mouseover feature. I don't know whose idea this was, but it is pretty damn cool. Does anyone know the history of this feature? So, I have a question about SLIME. When debugging, or indeed otherwise, I find it useful to copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL. I've been using the mouse for this, which is decidedly sub-optimal. I hate using the mouse. I was thinking that it would be handy to have a command which would copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL, while at the same time switching the buffer to the REPL. The S-expression would be chosen by having the cusor to the right of the closing expression. I'm not sure if this position has a name. I don't know if this command already exists. I could not find it in the manual. If it doesn't, could someone tell me what code would tell emacs to do this? My knowledge of Emacs programming is non-existent. Please CC me on any reply. Thanks. Regards, Faheem

[slime-devel] cl-gtk2 compile/interpretation errors
by Toolis Patrick (Contractor) 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

I was wondering whether anybody had successfully run this GUI library in the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs before. I am having difficulties with the use of bordeaux threads in compilation. I do not wish to set the shebang-features variable by recompiling sbcl, so I was wondering whether it is possible to run Windowing in a single thread (I understand that this does not work well practically). I was able to create a window once, but I cannot duplicate this. Errors about ³unithread² support occurred in ensure-gtk-main, and, when I tried load-system on cl-gtk2-gtk, I received a ³compile-op nil² error in the asdf.lisp¹s perform method. Interestingly, loading the gtk/gtk.package.lisp file worked. I understand that this is as much a cl-gtk issue as it is an issue with the interpreter/IDE, but the interpreter seems very impractical for use in this case.

(defimplementation call-with-compilation-hooks (function) #-ecl-bytecmp (funcall function) #-ecl-bytecmp (handler-bind ((c:compiler-message #'handle-compiler-message)) (funcall function))) It seems that the function above is called twice; I suppose that one of both #-ecl-bytecmp should be #+ecl-bytecmp?

Hi, Are there any ways to jump to functions defined in top level let form by slime-edit-definition? For example below, I want to jump to the head of (defin foo ...) form, not that of top level (let ...) form when M-. on (foo): ----- (let (var) (defun foo () var))) (foo) ----- Thanks, Masayuki

[slime-devel] broken buffer <-> repl interaction
by Simon Koch 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

I used to install slime by using the Ubuntu package system, but currently those packages are either out of date or broken. Therefore I installed and configured slime and emacs myself using the provided manuals. But after that the buffer<->repl interaction is still broken. I am used to an interaction where typing (FORMAT t "foobar~%") into a buffer e.g. *scratch* and then using C-M-x on it, would result in the repl printing "foobar". Instead I am getting an error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function FORMAT) (FORMAT t "foobar~%") eval-region(291 312 t (lambda (ignore) (goto-char 312) (quote (FORMAT t "foobar~%")))) ; Reading at buffer position 310 apply(eval-region (291 312 t (lambda (ignore) (goto-char 312) (quote (FORMAT t "foobar~%"))))) eval-defun-2() eval-defun(nil) call-interactively(eval-defun nil nil) recursive-edit() which confuses me in two ways: 1. there is no output in the REPL as expected 2. given the (doubtful) assumption that the line contained an error: this is not the error/debug-screen I am used by slime which is supposed to look like the right top window in the picture shown on the homepage of slime. Another symptom I got is, that c-x c-m which is supposed to expand a given macro-expression works in the *slime-repl sbcl* buffer, but in any other buffer the message "C-c RET is not defined" appears. This is my current .emacs file: ;;slime-setup (load (expand-file-name "~/quicklisp/slime-helper.el")) (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/simkoc/emacs/slime/") (require 'slime-autoloads) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-asdf)) I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

[slime-devel] Hang with cmucl 20c
by Harald Hanche-Olsen 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

I am running cmucl 20c (unicode version) under slime, with coding-system set to utf-8-unix and quicklisp loaded. All seems to work well, including loading various quicklisp packages, until I try this: CL-USER> (ql:quickload "ironclad") To load "ironclad": Load 1 ASDF system: ironclad ; Loading "ironclad" ... and the slime-repl buffer hangs with the cursor at the last line above. In the *inferior-lisp* buffer I find this: ;; swank:close-connection: No matching method for the generic function #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE (1) {59232FA9}>, when called with arguments (#<Stream for descriptor 5>). Help! 12 nested errors. KERNEL:*MAXIMUM-ERROR-DEPTH* exceeded. There is nothing untoward in the *slime-events* buffer. Any idea what could be the problem? I'll be happy to provide backtraces, etc. if you can only tell me how to get them. I supposed there is something odd about the stream for descriptor 5. Perhaps someone who knows the internals well can tell me what stream that is, and how it is different from other streams? (Oh, loading ironclad in the *inferior-lisp* buffer works like a charm, after I tweaked the source code a little so it could find libcrypt. All this is on ubuntu, BTW, linux kernel 3.2.0-31-generic.) - Harald
