Re: [slime-devel] starting with a saved image

Hi,

I would like to start sbcl as an inferior-lisp with slime and load a previously saved image (saved with sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die). How can I do this? I just want to do this occasionally, not all the time, and the path of the image is not fixed (I use many images), so I need to be able to enter that interactively.

If your image creates a REPL on stdin, you can start SLIME with C-u M-x slime and enter something like sbcl --core <file>

On startup, SLIME sends some forms to the stdin of the subprocess to load Swank. If the subprocess doesn't create a REPL then this approach will obviously not work.
