I just stumbled upon a problem with fuzzy completion. This was investigated using a freshly updated slime from CVS and SBCL 1.0.28 on an intel mac.
If one adds
(setq *read-default-float-format* 'double-float)to .sbclrc, deletes ~/.slime and then restart the slime session, completion stops working. One gets an error such as this (in emacs):
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Format specifier doesn't match argument type") format(" %s %-8.2f" "-f--t---" "42.67858333333333d0") (insert (format " %s %-8.2f" classification-string score))Apparently, due to float type differences that I can not quite understand, the scores reported from the cl side now includes the "d0" specifier for a single float which emacs then interprets as a symbol rather than a number.
This is because threads do not inherit bindings, so in all threads started by slime *read-default-float-format* is bound to SINGLE-FLOAT, while in the parent thread it is DOUBLE-FLOAT.
