Hey,
I wanted to pass some s-exps to my Lisp implementation on slime startup and figured out that putting some code into .swank.lisp works. So, in my case it was telling the SBCL compiler where it's sources are:
(sb-ext:set-sbcl-source-location "~/workspace/lisp/sbcl/")
It looks to me that this solution is quite hacky: writing implementation specific code in the general swank setup file. Does anyone know when and from whom this file is actually being called? Couldn't find anything in the slime / swank sources. And the other question is: Is there actually a better way to do this? Maybe adding a hook on slime-load-hook and executing stuff with slime-rex or something like that...
I put that kind of SBCL-specific stuff in the SBCL startup file, ~/.sbclrc.
If I wanted to run SBCL-specific stuff during swank initialization, I think I would probably put something like this in the swank init file:
#+sbcl (load "~/.swank-sbcl.lisp")
It's hard for me to imagine a situation where I'd want to do that, though.
