[slime-devel] CVS sbcl and CVS slime trigger evaluation error

[slime-devel] First Impressions
by iain.little＠gmail.com 17 Jul '04

17 Jul '04

I finally got around to trying SLIME, by downloading the tarfile at: http://www.common-lisp.net/project/slime/slime-1.0alpha.tar.gz I must say, I am very impressed. It looks like Slime aims to fix almost all of my minor annoyances when using cmucl/ilisp. In particular, I like the way that it opens a different buffer to deal with errors/breaks/etc, rather than dumping a screen full of stuff into the repl buffer. But a few things that I noticed: I like to put testing sexprs in the files that I am working on (I put them in all in a #| |# commented region so that I can evaluate them when I want, but they don't evaluate when I compile/load the file). In ilisp I evaluate them with C-z e, and I gather that the slime equivalent is C-x C-e. The problem is, slime puts the output in the minibuffer. (Ok, ilisp can be set up to do this as well, but I have it disabled.) Often I am printing out a representation of a large enough data structure that the output doesn't even fit in the available space. Also, the way that it disappears as soon as a key is pressed prevents me from refering to it later after I have checked/tested something else. The obvious workaround is to copy/paste the sexpr into the repl buffer, but I do this so often (at least on my current project) that this would be a serious pain. For me, the ideal way for this to work would be for there to be a variable that controls whether or not evaluation output goes to the minibuffer or the repl (Or is there one already? I put a bit of effort into looking and couldn't find anything...). A different evaluation command (maybe: slime-eval-last-expression-in-repl) would also work. I also noticed a couple of indentation issues: (ok, I admit it; I went out of my way to see how slime would indent different things ;-) ) CL> (defmacro test (a &body b) (list* '+ a b)) TEST CL> (test 1 2) 3 Which - as advertised - actually does the right thing (ilisp most certainly doesn't). But, CL> (with-accessors ((a b)) c ...) and CL> (defgeneric test2 (a) (:method-combination progn)) #<Standard-Generic-Function TEST2 (0) {48B3C389}> CL> (defmethod test2 progn ((object a)) ...) still arn't right. (But no loss there; ilisp does exactly the same thing...) The only other thing is that the &body indentation doesn't work in the lisp buffers created by opening a file. But I suspect that is because I still have ilisp installed, and it is clobbering whatever slime does. (Is there a workaround?) Anyway, I hope this helps. Slime has impressed me enough that I'm quite certain that I'll switch to it sometime in the future; the only thing stopping me at the moment is the minibuffer issue. (If nothing else, I'll come up with a fix myself when I have more time; my honours project is all-consuming at the moment.) Regards, Iain

[slime-devel] Hyperspec lookups with w3m in Slime
by d95-bli＠nada.kth.se 17 Jul '04

17 Jul '04

Not directly related to Slime, but hopefully someone can help me still... I get Hyperspec lookup inside of Slime, by setting browse-url-browser-function to w3m-browse-url. Now, when I do C-c C-d h I get Hyperspec lookup, and with C-c C-d C-d I get a description. My roblem is that the hyperspec lookup insists n popping up in the same window where I invoked it, which conveniently hides whatever I was working on. I would much prefer if the behaviour was closer to the one for C-c C-d C-d, where the description pops up in another window, and an effort is made upon exit to restore the windows to what they were before. I suspect that writing my own browser function is the right way to do it, but I am not an elisp wizard, and am not clear on how to go about it. Any ideas? (Sorry if this is too off-topic for the list.) Björn

[slime-devel] SLIME automated testing best practices.
by Dirk Gerrits 17 Jul '04

17 Jul '04

Hi. I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this mailing list, but I was wondering if and how people are using SLIME to test their programs. Looking at the SLIME manual, there is nothing that really jumps out at me as a program testing tool. Personally, I tend to have two windows above eachother: the top one displaying an open Lisp file where I edit my definitions, the bottom one displaying the SLIME REPL to test these definitions. The problem with this approach is that I don't save my testcases, ie I have no automated regression testing. How do other SLIMErs deal with this? Regards, Dirk Gerrits

[slime-devel] indent and autocomplete
by Eric Blood 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

The attached patch creates the option of having the naked Tab key do both indent and autocomplete as it currently does in the repl. I moved and renamed slime-repl-indent-and-complete-symbol to slime-indent-and-complete-symbol since it is not repl specific. Also, I have added more default options for the typeout frame--specifically it now has a default width, and moves the typeout frame to the upper right. -- eblood Index: slime.el =================================================================== RCS file: /project/slime/cvsroot/slime/slime.el,v retrieving revision 1.309 diff -u -w -r1.309 slime.el --- slime.el 8 Jun 2004 23:58:09 -0000 1.309 +++ slime.el 9 Jun 2004 04:44:28 -0000 @@ -135,6 +135,10 @@ (defvar slime-kill-without-query-p t "If non-nil, kill Slime processes without query when quitting Emacs.") +(defvar slime-tab-indent-and-complete-p t + "Whether the TAB key should do both an indent and autocomplete in the +Slime minor mode.") + (defvar slime-sbcl-manual-root "http://www.sbcl.org/manual/" "*The base URL of the SBCL manual, for documentation lookup.") @@ -553,7 +557,10 @@ (define-key inferior-slime-mode-map [(control return)] 'inferior-slime-closing-return) (define-key inferior-slime-mode-map - [(meta control ?m)] 'inferior-slime-closing-return)) + [(meta control ?m)] 'inferior-slime-closing-return) + (when slime-tab-indent-and-complete-p + (slime-define-key "\C-i" 'slime-indent-and-complete-symbol + :inferior t))) (slime-init-keymaps) @@ -1033,6 +1040,18 @@ (when (buffer-live-p (get-buffer buffer-name)) (kill-buffer buffer-name))) +(defun slime-indent-and-complete-symbol () + "Indent the current line and perform symbol completion. +First indent the line.

[slime-devel] SLIME and CMUCL with mk:defsystem
by Archisman Rudra 15 Jul '04

15 Jul '04

Hi, I have the following problem. I use defsystem to compile and load systems. When the source file is newer than the compiled file CMUCL asks whether to compile and load the source file. Somehow SLIME mis-parses this and the answer to this query is treated as a fresh input. I took a brief look at the slime elisp and swank-cmucl sources, but I do not understand the architecture enough to even attempt a patch... I haven't tried it with othe lisp implementattions to see if it is an issue with defsystem or with cmucl... -- archi Attached are cut-and pasted buffers : In SLIME repl buffer: POLY> (mk:load-system 'mathematics) ; Loading #p"/home/archi/vision/genomics/code/CLisp/newmath/mathematics-package.x86f". ; Loading #p"/home/archi/vision/genomics/code/CLisp/newmath/common-math.x86f". ; Loading #p"/home/archi/vision/genomics/code/CLisp/newmath/polynomials/polynomials-pkg.x86f". ; - Binary file /home/archi/vision/genomics/code/CLisp/newmath/polynomials/polynomials.x86f is old or does not exist. ; Compile (and load) source file /home/archi/vision/genomics/code/CLisp/newmath/polynomials/polynomials.lisp instead? y ; Evaluation aborted ; Evaluation aborted ; Compilation unit aborted.

[slime-devel] in-package at REPL?
by Peter Seibel 15 Jul '04

15 Jul '04

I haven't had a chance to look into this myself but on the off chance anyone else has seen this: it seems that from time to time when I use IN-PACKAGE at the REPL *PACKAGE* doesn't change even though the prompt does. Sometimes, however, it does work properly. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp
