[slime-devel] Sometimes function arglists stop displaying
by Peter Seibel 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

I've noticed this a few times: I'll be using SLIME and suddenly space no longer causes the function arglists to show up in the minibuffer. SPC is still bound to slime-space but it doesn't work in either Lisp source code buffers or REPL buffers. I certainly didn't do anything on purpose to turn it off. I just observed it in Allegro though since I switch impls a lot I'm not sure if that's the only place I've seen it. I'll try to look into it if I get a chance but I thought I post here in case anyone else knows anything about it. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter(a)javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

Is there a reason you > can't use that? The lisp executable needs to be a WIN32 console application in order to be launched from an Emacs inferior lisp process. The ACL Trial edition executables under MS Windows are WIN32 Windows applications and can not be launched from an inferior lisp in Emacs. Franz also ship a build.exe with their regular product (but not the trial edition) - this is a WIN32 console application but there are issues with multiprocessing support with this executable and it is really only shipped (IMO) for legacy support reasons. Therefore, regardless of whether you use the ACL trial or the ACL commercial product under Windows, it is preferable to use the Windows application version of the executable. That is why I manually launch alisp.exe and load the .slime.lisp file to start up swank. > [snip] > > > Is there some alternative way to connect to an already started lisp process > > or am I just doing something wrong? > > We used to close the server socket when the connection was > established.

However, I've downloaded the latest CVS version and it works perfectly! > And in case it wasn't obvious, there should never be a need to > disconnect. That would be is a bug and I'd like hear about it. If I have a long-running process, it is nice to be able to exit Emacs and re-connect to a running lisp. I have another question: I see that you can create multiple SLIME repl's to the same lisp by just manually connecting on different sockets. However, if I open 2 connections, all output (whether from repl[1] or repl[2] goes to repl[2]. Presumably both repl's are using *standard-output* and this is why the output from both goes to the same emacs buffer. Is this a bug or is there a specific command that I should be using for creating a second repl or is there something that needs to be specified manually so that output from each repl is directed to the correct buffer? A side effect of this is that once you evaluate something in repl[1] and the output is sent to repl[2], the prompt disappears from repl[1]. You can still enter expressions and evaluate them; however, you no longer have the prompt. - Bill

I haven't noticed that with Allegro/SLIME under w2k. When it happens, did you try pressing "C-h k SPC" to see whether space was still bound to slime-space? Perhaps some other emacs code is re-defining the space key. If it is still bound, did you try debugging slime-space and slime-arglist in emacs? - Bill

[slime-devel] Using SLIME with ACL on Win2000
by Bill_Clementson＠peoplesoft.com 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

I've just recently tried out SLIME on Windows and think it's really neat. (I posted a comment on my weblog a few days ago at: http://home.comcast.net/~bc19191/blog/040229.html ) I initially played around with CLISP and SLIME but have recently started using SLIME with ACL under W2K. I'm impressed by how much functionality you guys have delivered in the last few months. I have 2 questions: 1. How do most people who are using ACL with Windows connect? I have the following in my .emacs file so that I kick off ACL and start SLIME by pressing "F5": (global-set-key [(f5)] '(lambda () (interactive) (shell-command "c:/bin/acl-6.2/alisp.exe +B +cm -L ~/.slime.lisp&") (delete-other-windows) (slime-connect "localhost" 4005))) (the slime.lisp file that I load automatically has the following 2 lines in it: (load "c:/usr/home/site/slime/swank-loader.lisp") (swank::create-swank-server 4005) Is this typical or is there some better approach? 2. When I kill SLIME in Emacs (but don't kill the ACL process), I thought that I would be able to re-connect to the ACL process by just running slime-connect again. However, this doesn't work. The message I get in Emacs (regardless of whether I answer the "close network connection" message with yes or no) is: "open-network-stream: make client process failed: connection refused, :name, SLIME Lisp, :buffer, nil, :host, localhost, :service, 4005" The ACL listener shows the following: ;; Connection to Emacs lost. ; Fast loading c:\bin\acl-6.2\code\acldns.005 ;;; Installing acldns patch, version 5 ;; [eof encountered on stream #<MULTIVALENT stream socket connected from localhost/4005 to localhost/2303 @ #x204df1a2>] Is there some alternative way to connect to an already started lisp process or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks, Bill Clementson

[slime-devel] Interactive compile loses DSPEC info
by Alain.Picard＠memetrics.com 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

Another one: I'm using latest CVS slime + Lispworks on Linux. If I compile and load my system from scratch, I can use M-. to jump around function definitions. but if I go to a function, hit C-c C-c to recompile the function, jump to a different emacs buffer and try M-. on the newly compiled function, I now get: make-single-line (:error The file #P"/tmp/filecLlfIH.lisp" does not exist.) (:location (:file /home/kooks/XOS/Bullseye/src/Common/generic-utilities.lisp) (:function-name MAKE-SINGLE-LINE)) in the *XREF buffer. Cheers,

[slime-devel] thread manipulation
by Marco Baringer 29 Feb '04

29 Feb '04

i've just commited a patch which allows you to do "stuff" with the threads in slime-list-threads. Killing threads: (bound to k in the slime-list-thread menu), simply kill-thread the thread at point. (Only implemented on OpenMCL). Attaching a slime-repl to a thread: (bound to a in the slime-list-thread menu) This will interuppt the thread, start a (fore ground) server in it and attach to that server in a new repl buffer. Debugging a thread: (bound to d in the slime-list-thread menu) This will interuppt the thread and then immediatly signal a simple-error putting you in an sldb-buffer. The backtrace will contain a bunch of extra frames intreduced by the simple-error, but all the restarts and frames are there. This has only been tested on OpenMCL and has, more than once, rendered my original (started via terminal) lisp unusable. -- Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget the perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen
