Recently SLIME has started asking me a lot if I want to enter a recursive edit whenever it enters the debugger. If I say n it freezes until I C-g out. If I say y it seems okay. What's that all about?
SLIME enters a recursive edit when a synchronous RPC needs to be debugged. This is usually only needed to debug SLIME code with SLIME itself. Most RPCs -- in particular RPCs to evaluate arbitrary user code -- are asynchronous. So a recursive edit is usually a sign for a bug in a SWANK function.
I belive that theory fits my observations--I *have* been mucking around with Swank code. So is the best thing to do to say 'y' and proceed on my way. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter@javamonkey.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp
