[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] swank-ecl without serve-event ?
by CRLF0710 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

want to use slime with ecl under windows, But under win32 there's no sys/select.h so serve-event doesn't work. I see that swank-ecl relies on serve-event. Any possibility to get a plain one with sockets or something? -- Wir müssen wissen; wir werden wissen! CrLF.0710

[slime-devel] disable help-echo
by Yuan Luo 12 Jun '12

Hi, Not sure whether this is the best forum to ask, if not, please direct me to a proper one. I am running emacs remotely and the help-echo text such as "mouse-2: copy to input, mouse-3: menu" is taking too long to show up. Is there anyway I can disable help-echo text? Best, Yuan

[slime-devel] Question about current directory and M-x cd behavior
by Jeffrey Cunningham 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Greetings, This problem has been bothering me for awhile. If I start emacs and then slime in one directory and M-x cd to another, even though M-x pwd tells me I am in the other directory, running a simple piece of code like (with-open-file (*standard-output* "test" :direction :output) (print (get-universal-time))) demonstrates that Lisp still thinks it's "current" directory is the first directory. How do you get around this problem? The only way I know is to kill the current inferior-lisp, change directories, and start a new one, which seems somewhat over-kill to say the least. Regards, Jeff

[slime-devel] Handling Slime interrupts
by Zach Kost-Smith 10 Jun '12

10 Jun '12

Is there a way to handle a Slime initiated user interrupt. For context: I am writing a shell interaction library and would like to intercept user interrupts in order to call sigstop and, possibly, subsequently call sigcont or sigkill to pause, unpause, or kill the shell process. From the command line (i.e. without Slime) or the inferior lisp process comint buffer, I can handle the condition sb-sys:interactive-interrupt in SBCL and get results along the lines I would like: > * (handler-case (loop :while t :do (sleep 1)) (sb-sys:interactive-interrupt (cond) (print "test") (error cond))) > > ;; User inputs C-c > > "test" ;; <- My code is run > debugger invoked on a SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT in thread #<THREAD > "initial thread" RUNNING > {1002940EE1}>: > Interactive interrupt at #x7FFFF79CA350. > > 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. > > (#:EVAL-THUNK) > 0] However, when the user interrupt initiates from the Slime repl, this handler is bypassed entirely and my wrapper code isn't run. I don't know enough about the way Slime/Swank uses conditions to understand what is happening here. Does anybody know how I can successfully handle a user interrupt that is initiated from within Emacs, either via changing my code or hacking on Slime/Swank itself? Zach KS

[slime-devel] setting heap size for SBCL for use with SLIME
by Faheem Mitha 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to configure SLIME to increase SBCL's heap size. I found the question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7181183/how-to-configure-sbcl-to-use-mor… but the listed answer doesn't work for me, namely, putting (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl --dynamic-space-size 1024") in ~/.emacs. The default value is 512Mb. I'm using the following function to determine the heap size. This code was posted by Nikodemus Siivola on SBCL help, see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.steel-bank.general/1914 (define-alien-variable ("dynamic_space_size" dynamic-space-size-bytes) unsigned-long) (defun heap-n-bytes () (+ dynamic-space-size-bytes (- sb-vm::read-only-space-end sb-vm::read-only-space-start) (- sb-vm::static-space-end sb-vm::static-space-start))) Please CC me on any reply. Thanks. Regards, Faheem
