Does anyone know the working status of slime-complete-symbol-function? The "compound" mode is a very important feature for me, but I can't get it to work anymore. I remember reading that some work had been done on that portion of the code, and that this functionality was not enabled by default. The manual says that it can be set through Emacs' SLIME customization group, but when I do so, I get the following in my messages log:
funcall: Symbol's function definition is void: slime-complete-symbol*The story is the same with slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol, and also if I set the slime-complete-symbol-function directly using setf in Emacs. It seems that the only one of the three options for which symbol-function is set is 'slime-simple-complete-symbol.
These days, slime-complete-symbol* is in a contrib package. You have to load that before you can use it. The manual hasn't been updated properly.
The steps to execute are:
1. make sure that your contrib directory is current with: "cvs update -d"
2. edit your .emacs and add something like:
(add-to-list 'load-path ".../slime/contrib") (slime-setup '(slime-c-p-c))
3. restart Emacs
