Slime retrieved by cvs update -D "2004-11-12" does not have this problem. Slime retrieved by cvs update -D "2004-11-16" does. Would somebody please look into this? Thanks a lot.
The warning only means that you missed a few garbage collection messages. With CMUCL, GC messages are now displayed in the echo area but apparently GC was triggered at a moment when the connection to Emacs wasn't quite ready. I think this is not crucial and I'll fix it later.
The Simple-Warning conditions signaled under such circumstances are actually caught by a catch-all CONDITION clause in a HANDLER-CASE in my program and causes troubles for me. Typing simple code like the following
(handler-case (dotimes (i 100000) (random 20000000)) (condition () (print :stop)))
in a slime repl buffer won't reproduce the problem. The actual code that caught those simple warning conditions is too complicated to reproduce here.
Anyway, I just use the following SEND-TO-EMACS to get around the problem:
(defun send-to-emacs (object) "Send OBJECT to Emacs." (when *emacs-connection* (funcall (connection.send *emacs-connection*) object)))
If you think this fix is O.K., would you please merge it into swank.lisp?
Of course, it's entirely logical to ask why *EMACS-CONNECTION* is NIL in the first place, which is totally beyond me.
Best wishes,
