[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

I provided a possible fix to sllme-devel a while ago. But now there is an issue tracker! So I've opened an issue. https://github.com/slime/slime/issues/161 If Gary want's add color commentary there, more power too him.

Re: [Slime-devel] I think I need a little help

Hello João, I discovered something today about the debug window problem I'm having with slime. I have a little-used installation of Linux Mint 16 on a different partition of my hard drive and I spent some time today going through the steps to load Emacs 24.3.1, along with sbcl-1.1.18, and all of the other folders and files that it took to make it as similar as possible to my installation of Linux Mint 14. I had a little problem initially until I remembered to install quicklisp and then I downloaded a fresh copy of slime using my install script and started emacs-24, did M-x slime, and there was no unwanted debug window in emacs. I quit and restarted slime several times and each time it came up without the unwanted debug window. It seems the slime debug window problem is specific to my installation of Linux Mint 14. I can only guess that I have done something to cause the problem, but I have no idea what it might have been. I'm usually very careful about installing anything that might cause a problem, but maybe I did something stupid... Anyway, to make a long story short, I'm going to migrate my work system files over to the Linux Mint 16 installation and then clean up my work partition to use for the next new release of Linux Mint (I kind of like it). If you are searching for the elusive debug window problem, I suspect you'll never find it on a different system so I suggest you cease and call it wasted effort because of me. Thanks again for all of your help, Paul Bowyer

[Slime-devel] I think I need a little help

Hello everyone, I've recently tried to use Emacs 24.1.1 which is available from the repository of Linux Mint and I cannot get slime to run properly with it. I'm using slime from github which I get with "git clone https://github.com/slime/slime.git" and I'm using SBCL-1.1.18. I tried using a very basic ".emacs" file by following the directions in the slime manual ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;Latest slime installation (add-to-list 'load-path "~/my-slime-sandbox/slime/") (require 'slime-autoloads) (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/sbcl" ) (setq slime-contribs '(slime-fancy)) ;;This fails to load properly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The message I get in the emacs message when I try ALT-x slime window is: define-slime-contrib: Symbol's value as variable is void: --cl---cl-var--11849-- I also ran the slime test suite using the same emacs with the following sequence of commands that I have in a bash script. ------------------------------------------- cd ~/my-slime-sandbox/slime make clean make compile #Run the test suite make clean check make check-fancy ------------------------------------------- The output of the test is: <snip> Test readme-recipe condition: (ert-test-failed "Unexpected error running takeoff forms\n(void-variable --cl---cl-var--99749--)") FAILED 61/186 readme-recipe <snip> Test traditional-recipe condition: (ert-test-failed "Unexpected error running preflight forms\n(void-variable --cl---cl-var--99749--)") FAILED 183/186 traditional-recipe <snip> Ran 186 tests, 184 results as expected, 2 unexpected (2014-05-20 17:41:21-0700) 1 expected failures 2 unexpected results: FAILED readme-recipe FAILED traditional-recipe make: *** [check] Error 2 make -C contrib EMACS="emacs" LISP="sbcl" check-fancy make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pfb/my-slime-sandbox/slime/contrib' emacs -Q -L . -L .. --batch -f batch-byte-compile slime-sprof.el In toplevel form: slime-sprof.el:5:1:Error: Symbol's value as variable is void: --cl---cl-var--99749-- make[1]: *** [slime-sprof.elc] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pfb/my-slime-sandbox/slime/contrib' make: *** [check-fancy] Error 2 That's as much as I can tell you about my problem.

I’m trying to bring this up again, and also now sending it to slime-devel. I would like this warning to be gone. Can anyone fix it?

It is using with-standard-io-syntax. That binds ccl::*print-abbreviate-quote* to nil.

[Slime-devel] Is it possible to get double-float from lisp?
by Leo Liu 10 May '14

10 May '14

Due to different syntaxes for floats: (slime-eval `(anything-that-poduces-double-floats)) => a variable I wonder if this is curable? Thanks. Leo

I implemented FUNCTION-NAME and FIND-SOURCE-LOCATION for AllegroCL and requested a pull on github: https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/142 Is this enough or shall I write to this list as well? :-) cheers, Gabor
