Hi all,
Following recent advices on c.l.l, I just tried a recently downloaded (02/04/04) version of SLIME. I am using it with XEmacs 21.4.12 and clisp 2.32, and I'm getting the following strange behaviour :
The first invocation of M-x slime RET in a just started XEmacs freezes it
the following sequences of evaluated forms freeze it as weel :
(slime-maybe-start-lisp) (slime-read-port-and-connect) or (slime-maybe-start-lisp) (slime-start-swank-server) ;; eval only once ! (setq port (slime-read-swank-port)) (slime-connect "localhost" port)
but NOT the following
(slime-maybe-start-lisp) (slime-start-swank-server) (setq *proc* (slime-net-connect "localhost" port)) (slime-init-connection *proc*)
which works fine (i.e. after evaluating a few more forms I get a fully functional SLIME)
In all cases, the lisp is started ok, as is the swank server. The problem seems to me to be located somewhere in the slime-init-connection/slime-net-connect interaction.
I tried to put a conditional in slime-connect do process to slime-init-connection only if (slime-net-connect "localhost" port) returns, and to increase the delay between each run-with-timer (the swank server gets started after a good 3-4 seconds) but it didn't seem to help.
The XEmacs stack dump I get when killing it is the following : Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) accept-process-output(nil 0 10000) (while t (accept-process-output nil 0 10000) (when nil (recursive-edit) (error "Evaluation aborted."))) # bind (inhibit-quit debug-on-quit) (let ((debug-on-quit t) (inhibit-quit nil)) (while t (accept-process-output nil 0 10000) (when nil ... ...))) # (catch slime-result-66523 ...)

I cannot reproduce this problem. I tried XEmacs 21.1, XEmacs 21.4, Emacs 20.7 and Emacs 21.3 with CLISP 2.32. I invoke CLISP with 'clisp -K full' and that seems work without problems.
What do mean with 'freezes'? 'freeze' as in "Emacs does not respond, but C-g works" or "Emacs does not respond and I have to kill Emacs entirely"?
C-g is supposed to work. It would be serious bug in SLIME if it were otherwise.
but NOT the following
(slime-maybe-start-lisp) (slime-start-swank-server) (setq *proc* (slime-net-connect "localhost" port)) (slime-init-connection *proc*) ^^^^
| What's the value of 'port' here? -------------+
SLIME uses a different/random port for each connection, so it is bit surprising that you can connect after restarting the server.
which works fine (i.e. after evaluating a few more forms I get a fully functional SLIME)
In all cases, the lisp is started ok, as is the swank server. The problem seems to me to be located somewhere in the slime-init-connection/slime-net-connect interaction.
Judging from the backtrace, it seems that Emacs can connect, but apparently CLISP doesn't reply to the first request. The first request is usually (swank:getpid).
I have no idea what might cause the problem and can only the give the lame re-compile-everything advice :-) Make sure you have a link to the metering package as described in swank-clisp.lisp and remove all byte-compiled .elc files. Add
(setq swank::*redirect-io* nil) (setq swank::*use-dedicated-output-stream* nil) (setq swank::*log-events* t) (setq swank::*sldb-initial-frames* 1)
to your ~/.swank.lisp for better debugging messages. You can also try to run clisp in a separate xterm, start the swank server with:
(load "swank-loader") (swank:create-swank-server)
and use M-x slime-connect to connect to it.

Hi
I seem to have the same problem.
I have GNU Emacs 21.2.1, SBCL 0.8.7 and I am using Redhat 9

Yes, C-g works, and Emacs behaves normally after that.

I have tried this, but it still fails.
Here is the error messages I got:

[This is unrelated to the CLISP problem.]
SLIME uses fcntl(2) to enable SIGIO for the socket. The binding for fcntl is only available in newer SBCL versions (0.8.7.36 and above).
I patched SLIME to use our own version of fcntl if the function doesn't exist it the sb-posix package. The CVS version of SLIME should now work with not so new SBCL versions, at least on Linux.
