[slime-devel] SLIME talk at the Emacs Conference
by Luke Gorrie 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Howdy! Long time no chat :-) I will give a talk at the Emacs Conference (emacsconf.org, London March 31) called "How to write an Emacs-based IDE like SLIME". The idea is to demo SLIME, explain how its development works, and give some encouragement and practical tips to people who might want to build something similar for other languages. If you have some ideas please fire away :) particularly about things I might easily overlook being as my SLIME know-how is about 10 years old! Cheers, -Luke

[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] Next release?
by James M. Lawrence 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hello, Slime-2.5's breakage of interactive restarts and multi-threaded kills (https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/155) are major, at least for me. This was quickly fixed, thanks to João. Could we please have another slime release before the next Quicklisp snapshot? Best, James

[Slime-devel] [slime-devel] Setting up swank contrib source paths
by Gayane Kazhoyan 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to have the Lisp code of Slime contribs in multiple directories. So, I have the official ones in /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/ and I would like to, e.g. have the slime-hello-world [1] somewhere else. I tried to push the path to the asdf:*central-registry* and also setting *default-pathname-defaults* in .sbclrc and even starting a swank server with swank-loader::*source-directory* correctly set up, but then the problem is that the *source-directory* is not a list and the path to the default contribs gets lost... So, currently my .sbclrc looks like this: (require :asdf) (pushnew #p"/path/to/slime-hello-world/" asdf:*central-registry* :test #'equal) And when I M-x slime, swank still can't find the slime-hello-world Lisp part. Any ideas? Thanks! Gaya [1] https://github.com/slime/slime-hello-world

[Slime-devel] slime 2.4 with emacs 24.3.50: Loading problems after M-x slime
by Sian Mountbatten 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hello. I'm using Debian GNU/Linux (jessie) on amd64 architecture. Usually, I do not have any problems with starting slime, but, now, whenever I issue the command "M-x slime" in Emacs, I get lots of STYLE-WARNING messages from sbcl showing redefinitions of swank functions, followed by "Polling" messages suggesting that I issue the command "M-x slime-abort-connection". I have uploaded the part of my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file concerning the Slime connection to http://paste.lisp.org/+31M2. Could someone look at that paste and tell me what I'm doing wrong? -- Dr Sian Mountbatten http://www.poenikatu.co.uk/ Associate member of the FSF no. 10888 Asocia membro de la Libera Programara Fonduso n-ro 10888

[Slime-devel] [slime-devel] .swank.lisp
by Gayane Kazhoyan 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hey, I wanted to pass some s-exps to my Lisp implementation on slime startup and figured out that putting some code into .swank.lisp works. So, in my case it was telling the SBCL compiler where it's sources are: (sb-ext:set-sbcl-source-location "~/workspace/lisp/sbcl/") It looks to me that this solution is quite hacky: writing implementation specific code in the general swank setup file. Does anyone know when and from whom this file is actually being called? Couldn't find anything in the slime / swank sources. And the other question is: Is there actually a better way to do this? Maybe adding a hook on slime-load-hook and executing stuff with slime-rex or something like that... Thanks. Gaya

[Slime-devel] no whitespace in history
by Robert Brown 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

I just tried a recent version of Slime. When I type M-P in the slime-repl buffer I see the previous command I typed, but without any whitespace. For instance, "(cons 1 2)" appears as "(cons12)". In my .emacs file I have slime-repl-history-trim-whitespaces set to t. If I set it to nil, I get the correct history string. It looks like all whitespace is being trimmed, not just leading and trailing spaces. Emacs 24.3, SBCL 1.1.16.84, Bob
