Re: [slime-devel] specifying charset of a file to compile

What does not work:

• when I use C-c C-k, the functions seem to be compiled as if the source code was in latin-1 I think.

How can I configure slime to behave similarly whether it compiles a file or a function?

I added a bit support for this. If you add

-*- slime-coding: utf-8-unix -*-

to your file, SLIME will pass it as :external-format argument to COMPILE-FILE. It only works for C-c C-k and only for a few backends. There may be problems with source locations which use byte offsets or ASDF or other code which opens source files without specifying the encoding. Maybe CL:OPEN should be smarter about encodings and not SLIME.
