:fd-handler doesn't work with CCL. You could set swank:*communication-style* to nil, which works with every backend, but of course loses some niceties, eg. you can't use M-. while Lisp does a lengthy computation.

Thanks for the details. Is supporting :fd-handler for CCL on the roadmap?

No, CCL has threads so no need for :fd-handler.

I don't follow your logic. SBCL has threads on many platforms as well. More importantly, the behavior within Slime when running CCL is non-intuitive and the fix for that is not obvious (although I'm still working on it). The behavior of :fd-handler seems as though it would address the issue, so why wouldn't it be supported for CCL?

Thanks,

Patrick
