[slime-devel] How to load something after Lisp starts
by Elliott Slaughter 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to ask slime to load something after a Lisp session has started. I've tried the following (eval-after-load "slime" '(progn ... (slime-interactive-eval "..."))) But the expression seems to never get run. I've also tried (progn (slime) (while (not (slime-connected-p)) (sleep-for 0 200)) (slime-interactive-eval "...")) Which works, but is horrible in other ways. Is there a good way to do this? Thanks. -- Elliott Slaughter "Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.

[slime-devel] Slime vs Franz Eli
by Chris Kim 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, all, I've been using Slime on top of Franz ACL for quite a while. My experience with Slime is very positive and I like Slime better in every aspects except in following situations. 1. Slime debugger: It prints bunch of Slime (swank: ..... ) related messages that I'm not interested. It's always hard to trying to comb through messages that I'm interested. How can I turn Slime related messages off? 2. While debugging, evaulating expression does not print anything but only the retuned result. Can I have it print to the standard output, i.e., console? 3. Lack of REPL command: Franz Eli supports REPL commands, for example, ":proc" for listing processes, ":pa" to change package and so on. Is there way to add them in? Thank you very much and I appreciate your efforts making Slime the best list-emacs interface. -chris

[slime-devel] swank:find-definitions-for-emacs doesn't support definition names other than symbols
by Paulo Madeira 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

M-. in slime no longer accepts dspecs other than symbols, since this change: http://bit.ly/dWJiDp I guess that change was made only to accommodate this complaint: http://bit.ly/fZLIxl This breaks two use-cases for me: to find a specific definition in ACL with M-. (method <name> [qualifiers] (<specializers>+)), and to issue swank:ed-in-emacs in certain IDE hooks/wrappers. I can workaround both cases by extracting the `second' from the list recursively until I only have a symbol, and let Slime list me all definitions with that name, but I believe this is sub-optimal when I already know the definition I want. I believe this can happen in other implementations too. Perhaps using a recursive non-interning reader, e.g. stop reading if it cannot find-symbol. Paulo Madeira

[slime-devel] Allegro compiling defun with reader error
by mega＠retes.hu 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

With Allegro, compiling a function (with C-c C-c) with a reader error such as this: (defun fooo (p) (mp:process-state p)) currently falls off the end of ETYPECASE in COLLECT-NOTES because FASLFILE is T. I suspect it's not the right fix, but it works. --- swank-allegro.lisp.~1.142.~ 2011-02-18 12:06:00.000000000 +0100 +++ swank-allegro.lisp 2011-04-03 17:43:27.000000000 +0200 @@ -462,7 +462,7 @@ (merge-pathnames (pathname filename)) *default-pathname-defaults*))) (compile-from-temp-file string buffer position filename))) - (reader-error () (values nil nil t)))) + (reader-error () nil))) ;;;; Definition Finding

[slime-devel] Another small request...
by Paul Bowyer 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

slime-devel: As I'm working with Slime and learning Lisp, I occasionally copy/paste code examples into 'somefile.lisp' for compiling/loading to test from the Slime REPL. Usually when extended characters show up in Emacs after pasting some code, I'm able to notice them and overwrite them with the correct characters, but I recently ran into a situation where an extended character (0xE28099) showed up that I was unable to discern visually (looked like a ') and when I tried to compile the file the slime connection was broken and I received "Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: connection broken by remote peer" which I was able to correct by restarting Slime. However, I had to examine the lisp source file in a hex editor (vim also worked) to discover which character was the offender. Is there a way set up Slime (or Emacs) so extended characters are identified and marked (even when they don't appear visually different than ascii)? Thanks pbowyer

[slime-devel] Problem with Slime & SBCL on Windows XP
by Scott Turner 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

I've run into a puzzling problem using Slime with SBCL on my Windows XP box. Puzzling in one way, because it seems to work fine on my laptop (also a Windows XP box), but not on my desktop machine -- not that I can see any differences in my set up. I'm running GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1, the latest Slime (3/14), and SBCL 1.0.37 (Win32-x86). My .emacs file looks like this: (setq temporary-file-directory "C:/unzipped/Tmp") (setenv "temp" temporary-file-directory) (setenv "tmp" temporary-file-directory) (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") (add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Slime") (add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Slime/contrib") (require 'slime) (require 'slime-autoloads) (slime-setup '(slime-repl)) I don't have anything in ~/.slime.lisp When I start slime (with M-x slime), the *inferior lisp* buffer comes up and loads a bunch of files (compiling the first time) and ends with: ;; Swank started at port: 2856 CL-USER> As expected. (I'll append the full trace to the bottom of this message.) However, the connection is never made and the *slime-repl* buffer never shows up. A look in *Messages* shows: Connecting to Swank on port 2856.. [2 times] If I try to telnet to that port ("telnet 127.0.0.1 2856") I get "Could not open connection..." If I start SBCL in a separate command shell, I get the same behavior. Appears to start up, but neither Emacs nor telnet can talk to the port. FWIW, I can use slime & CLisp fine on this machine -- so I don't think it's a problem with a firewall blocking the port or something similar. It appears to me that for whatever reason, the swank server is not opening the advertised port. I took a look at the swank code but I didn't see any additional debugging I can turn on. I've done some extensive Googling but can't find any solution. Any ideas what's going on or how to get it working? I'm not a subscriber to this mailing list, so if you can CC me directly in responses it would be appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide! -- Scott Turner (progn (load "c:\\Documents and Settings\\Turner\\My Documents\\Dad's Files\\Slime\\swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "c:\\unzipped\\Tmp\\slime.6340" :coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix")) This is SBCL 1.0.37, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

[slime-devel] M-. can't find definitions
by Peter Keller 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hello, I'm a relatively new emacs and SLIME (for lisp) user. I have set up a checked out version (as of a day ago) of SLIME in my emacs and it seems to be working well. However, whenever I use M-. to go to the definition of anything, I get: "No known definition for: <thing-at-point> (in <package-name>)" in the minibuffer. How can I fix this? I don't understand what I have to do to make this work. Thank you. -pete
