[slime-devel] How do I make slime-interactive-eval insert the result in the current buffer?
by Pascal J.Bourguignon 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Hello, I like to have the result of my expressions inserted in the buffer where the expression is. Like with C-u C-x C-e in emacs-lisp-mode. How should I proceed to get this behavior with slime? -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. -- Robert Heinlein

[slime-devel] My personal Slime Feature wishlist
by Thomas Schilling 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

I just put together a list of features I'd like to have in SLIME. I think it's better to post it here than letting it get dusty in my home-dir. Consider it as a base of discussion or a possible roadmap for, say, SLIME 2.0 than as a list of must-haves. It's all in the spirit of making SLIME+Lisp the superior tool to accomplish everything :) Of course, I'm willing to contribute, too. They are ordered in terms of (by me) estimated efford. * Nicer Homepage How about this?: http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~s3815210/slime-hp-suggestion/ * Class Browser Open a window where the class under the point is shown with all its direct superclasses and its direct subclasses or all of both. - `s' shows/hides the class' direct slots - `m' shows/hides all methods specializing on the class * Source Outline Mode Provide an outline mode for lisp source. That is the user can collapse/expand single lisp expressions. - The keybindings should be the same as in the text outline mode. - What do we show of collapsed expressions? Should a `defun' include the argument list? Should it be specific to the expression being collapsed? Should every expression be collapsible? - A block of comments may be considered a) as a single sexp b) as belonging to the next sexp (if it's on a separate line) or to the provious sexp (if it's on the same line) I favour b) since it would make a full-collapsed file more concise. * Refactoring Aids Provide commands for refactoring operations. Examples for useful Lisp-refactorings are: - extract/inline function/method - move slot to super-/subclass - inline temp/replace temp with query - rename function/class/slot/variable/... - ... - We have to work out which refactorings from [1] are applicable to Lisp (and make sence) and which additional refactorings would be useful for Lisp. - Some refactorings are really hard to implement. Namely all that require a code walker - Note that refactorings are considered save modifications on _working_ code in order to ease implementation of new features. It might still be worth considering how much refactoring is possible without assuming that the code is already compiled and DTRT. * Program Slicing Display (only) all the code that can effect a specified object. For example if invoked on a slot name display all expressions that may change this slot's value _and_ show all expressions that effect these former statements. - How much effort would it take to implement this? - Is it really useful for lisp? (Since lisp does indeed have side-effects, I think it would be of a certain use. So maybe the question should be: How much useful can it be for lisp?) - Can we cover all cases? - What additional information would be needed?

[slime-devel] "query-replace" strangeness.
by Iain Little 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

It seems that cvs slime is interfering with "query-replace" (also checked "replace-string"). (Using cmucl18e) As a simple example (putting file contents in triple-double-quotes): I start with: """ bug """ Then after doing a query-replace to replace "bug" with "buggy" I get: """ buggyug """ This only happens when slime is running. (It works fine both before slime starts up, and after quitting.) I have also noticed strange capitilisation of file contents in a way not at all related to the replace query on more complicated examples, but I couldn't. """ strange BUG """ Then doing query-replace "bug" with "buggy": """ sTRANGE BUGGYUG """ As a final twist, everything seems to work fine when the buffer has been modified since last being saved. This leads me to suspect that the problem is caused by the cache stuff, somehow... Iain

[slime-devel] Function signatures incomplete
by Iain Little 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

I noticed that in cvs slime the entire function signature (when typing a function/macro into a lisp-mode buffer) doesn't always get shown anymore; it seems to cut off after the first line. For example, the signature for MAKE-ARRAY cuts off after "(element-type t)" in cvs slime (cmucl18e). I checked with slime-1.0alpha, and it works as expected there. Cheers, Iain

[slime-devel] Emacs error when quitting Slime
by Ivan Boldyrev 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

Greetings! When I quit Slime with comma and 'quit', Emacs shows error message: error in process sentinel: Connection closed. Backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Connection closed.") signal(error ("Connection closed.")) error("Connection closed.") (cond ((null conn) (error "Not connected.")) ((not ...) (error "Connection closed.")) (t conn)) (let ((conn ...)) (cond (... ...) (... ...) (t conn))) slime-connection() (eq (slime-connection) slime-default-connection) (and (slime-connected-p) (eq (slime-connection) slime-default-connection)) (if (and (slime-connected-p) (eq ... slime-default-connection)) (progn (setq slime-state-name name) (force-mode-line-update))) (when (and (slime-connected-p) (eq ... slime-default-connection)) (setq slime-state-name name) (force-mode-line-update)) slime-set-state("[not connected]") slime-net-sentinel(#<process SLIME Lisp> "exited abnormally with code 256\n") It is not fatal, but annoying. I tried to hack the code myself, but I still do not understand full code, so I am afraid to break something. -- Ivan Boldyrev Violets are red, Roses are blue. // I'm schizophrenic, And so am I.

[slime-devel] nightly build
by Jeff Bowman 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

I am behind a firewall that prevents cvs from coming in. I have downloaded the slime-1.0alpha.tar.gz file and am using it, but I noticed one of the problems I'm having is mentioned in the list as being fixed. So my question is: is there a nightly build mechanism in place where I can download a more current version of slime than the tarball, or is the tarball contents updated frequently so I can get the fix? [RE: Symbol Completion Broken (CLISP)] Thanks! This is a great tool! Jeff

[slime-devel] Symbol completion broken (CLISP)
by Steven E. Harris 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Using CLISP with SLIME updated from CVS as of 21 June 2004, symbol completion coaxed by M-Tab (`slime-complete-symbol') no longer produces anything useful. If I type (with-o in a buffer in SLIME mode connected to a CLISP repl and hit M-Tab, SLIME reports in the minibuffer [Can't find completion for "with-o"] and refuses to either complete or suggest completions for the partial symbol. This used to work as of about two weeks ago, but I can't recall when the exact last time I tested this was. -- Steven E. Harris

[slime-devel] Uh, (require 'slime) errors out
by Peter Seibel 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

I can no longer (require 'slime) because I get an error "Not connected". I'm trying to track it down from the backtrace (see below) but since it just started happening I'm assuming this is due to some recent change and perhaps the author of said change will know right away what's wrong. -Peter P.S. I'm a CVS idiot--how do I see what changes have been made recently to a given file?
