Hello,

I am new to slime and Lisp in general. I did try searching google before posting this but I can not seem to find any answer to this, so here goes:

(defun sample-function (x y)
    (if (> (+ x y) 15)
        (+ x y)
        (error "The sum of x and y must be greater than 15")))

(sample-function 3 4)

Given the above code, I can not seem to be able to display the value of x or y for that matter once the debugger kicks in on the line with the error.
Once inside the debugger, I tried pressing 'i' for inspect and entered x. Debugger replied with "unbound variable x blabla". Pressed 'e' for eval and wrote (sb-debug:var x) with
same result (using sbcl here).

Here is exactly what the debugger posts:

The sum of x and y must be greater than 15
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

Restarts:
0: [ABORT] Abort compilation.
1: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
2: [CLOSE-CONNECTION] Close SLIME connection
3: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

Backtrace:
0: (SAMPLE-FUNCTION 3 4)
1: (SB-FASL::LOAD-FASL-GROUP #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file C:\\Users\\Eddie\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\16.fasl" {24165B59}>)

8: ((LAMBDA ()))

Can anyone please help? I am getting really depressed here :(

Thanks,

Eddie
