Re: [slime-devel] Sending values to the repl

I want to send values to the repl from the Lisp image.

Firstly, is there a simpler way to approach this?

If you want to write stuff as output to the REPL buffer, use

(defun repl-stream () (swank::connection.user-output (or swank::*emacs-connection* (swank::default-connection))))

(format (repl-stream) "Foobar~%")

If you want to send something as a result (which will turn into a presentation if you use the slime-presentations contrib), use

(defun send-as-repl-result (&rest objects) (funcall *send-repl-results-function* objects))
