[slime-devel] SBCL memory overcommitment after startup when using SLIME
by Aleksandar Bakic 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Hi, I first thought this was a SBCL issue, but it appears to be SLIME's. Below is the scenario: 1. Run Emacs 2. Run SBCL from Emacs 3. slime-connect to SBCL 4. Open a file in lisp mode 5. In a terminal, run "top -d 1" and make sure you see SBCL and how much virtual memory it is using 6. Write in the file "(defun foo ())" and compile foo by pressing C-c C-c 7. You should notice that top shows a few MBs more virtual memory used by SBCL The virtual memory use does not increase if you type (compile 'foo) in REPL. SBCL man page describes memory overcommitment at startup, but not afterwards. Can you reproduce the above increase? Let me know if you need more information. Thanks, Alex __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Because he wrote his own server (swank) not only the implementation specific part (swank-backend). His server also uses a rather different approach to threading than we do. >> On the technical side, Scheme has continuations but SLIME assumes that >> the Lisp is stack oriented.

Try (define k (call-with-current-continuation (lambda (c) c))) (k 1) and type C-x C-e at the end of each line.

[slime-devel] .slime/fasl/ directory names
by Lynn Quam 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

I discovered that the architecture dependent directory names in $HOME/.slime/fasl/ contain "non-standard" characters for Unix file names. For example: /homedir/quam/.slime/fasl/cmu-snapshot 2005-09 (19b)-linux-x86 I understand why this is the case, but it can be somewhat annoying because of the difficulty in properly "escaping" those names in the various Unix shells. For example, find . -name '*.x86f' | xargs grep '(defun ' grep: ./cmu-snapshot: No such file or directory grep: 2005-09: No such file or directory Admittedly, this is not a good example, but consider: find . -name '*.x86f' | xargs rm This wouldn't be a problem with if we had something like the Scheme-Shell (scsh), but ...

[slime-devel] Segmentation Fault with Slime, Uffi and CMUCL
by Stefan Kamphausen 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Dear Slime-Developers, in a project that involves heavy usage of UFFI (loading a library written in C++ with a C-header file using extern "C") I am encountering repeatable segmentation faults when working under SLIME. An example session would be: -------------------------------------------------- M-x slime ,load-system cl-the-uffi-using-system (using tab completion and a symlink in my central registry) ,cd /path/to/another/lib/im/currently/workin/on and the echo area tells me: Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: exited abnormally with code 256 -------------------------------------------------- The debugger output I get after C-g'ing is pasted below A few more notes: * I am using CVS HEAD slime, XEmacs 21.4 (patch 17) and CMU Common Lisp CVS 19b 19b-release-20050628-3 + minimal debian patches (19B) on Gentoo/x86. SLIME ist not emerged but manually kept in sync with CVS. * I can't tell for sure that there are no problems with the C-lib. But I'd expect those problems to show up when calling the functions not after loading the system and doing a simple directory change. * I have double checked the UFFI-function definitions and the C-header file. That should be correct. * Currently I can't change the C-library at all, but when the author will be back from his holiday we can change everything there. * Unfortunately I can't provide the source, it's an inhouse project of my employer (although we released one part of it under BSD license recently :-). * I can't crash it easily with SBCL 0.9.4. * And, well, it works when running CMUCL from the shell. That's why I am writing to this list in hope of some enlightenment. Of course I'd be happy if you'd say: "ah, this is a bug, I just uploaded a patch", but any pointer as to where and how I might get more information will be appreciated. Kind Regards Stefan Kamphausen PS: Funny enough, I had some problems sending to this list due to greylisting and just at that moment martin wrote his somewhat similar message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Debugger output: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit) accept-process-output(nil 0 10000) (while t (accept-process-output nil 0 10000)) (let ((debug-on-quit t) (inhibit-quit nil)) (while t (accept-process-output nil 0 10000))) (catch tag (slime-rex (tag sexp) (sexp package) ((:ok value) (unless (member tag slime-stack-eval-tags) (error "tag = %S eval-tags = %S sexp = %S" tag slime-stack-eval-tags sexp)) (throw tag (list (function identity) value))) ((:abort) (throw tag (list (function error) "Synchronous Lisp Evaluation aborted."))))

[slime-devel] SLIME/Allegro communication-style
by Lynn Quam 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Is it possible to run SLIME with Allegro using communication-style = :sigio rather than :spawn? I have a custom REPL loop which handles tcl/tk events in addition to input from *standard-input*. This work fine with SLIME and CMUCL with communication-style = :sigio. I have encountered difficulties implementing event-handling for tcl/tk with SLIME using communication-style = :spawn. One problem is that (method stream-listen slime-input-stream) on Allegro just checks if the buffer contains characters. It does not attempt to ask the socket is there are characters available. This does not appear to be a problem in CMUCL.

[slime-devel] Problem with EUC-JP encoding on Clisp-2.35 Win32 native (+fix)
by VAUCHER Laurent 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi. My current configuration is Windoze/Emacs-21.3/Clisp-2.35 native (not the cygwin port, which is much slower) and it seems that a recent fix in swank-clisp.lisp in function find-encoding is not "portable". In fact, it is compatible with Clisp-2.35-Unix-flavor (MacOSX and Cygwin included) but not with the native W32 version which lacks some encodings (only 85 vs 121 for the unix version, to be accurate). I include a patch that solves the problem for me (by not using the inexistant symbol directly) ant should also work for those using the japanese encoding on Clisp versions supporting it.

[slime-devel] disconnect after errors with openmcl
by Otto Diesenbacher 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi, I have an error, when trying to evaluate any non-existent or wrong expression in the slime-repl running openmcl 14.3. After quiting the error-message I lose the connection and have to restart slime. The last lines in the *Message* buffer: error in process filter: slime-process-available-input: Wrong type argument: listp, S error in process filter: Wrong type argument: listp, S net-read error: (cl-assertion-failed (plusp length)) Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: deleted my emacs: (version) "GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.2.0) of 2005-08-06 on quartet.local" slime is the last CVS-version btw.: with sbcl and clisp I haven't any problem. As I just startet learning lisp - I hope my descriptions are specific enough :) Thanks for any help in advance! otto
