Re: [slime-devel] Completion doesn't work for un-evaluated functions - expected behavior?

I'm getting started with SLIME from CVS. It's successfully installed.

If I start SLIME, create a new buffer Lisp buffer, and define a function, completion doesn't work for that function's name until the defun is evaluated.

Is this the expected behavior?

Yes.

If so, is there any way to "enable" completion for not-yet-evaluated symbols?

Currently, no. And I doubt there is any need. Slime uses lisp implementation for introspection, because it's not so easy to do static analysis on Lisp. And defining a function is as easy as pressing "C-c C-c", or "C-c C-k" so that the whole file would be compiled.
