Re: [slime-devel] patchlets on buffering.

By default, the connection between the lisp and the slime repl is buffered. I would like to propose to have it unbuffered. on the grounds that if the user has a (format t ...), he/she probably wants the message to appear immediately on the screen :-)

Isn't the proper way to make the message appear immediately to use a (force-output) or a (format t "....~%")? -- Fred Gilham gilham@csl.sri.com The amazing thing is, back when I was a C++ programmer, I thought that [Design Patterns] was SUCH a great book. And I guess it was, in a way: it made it possible to use C++ and get something done. In the long run, of course, that may have been a disservice... - Alain Picard
