Hi!

While loading and partly recompiling a system from within SLIME I came across the following error (in the *slime-repl* buffer):

; While compiling FILL-PAGE: Warning: Variable *LOG-NAME* is never used. Error: Received signal number 11 (Segmentation violation) [condition type: SYNCHRONOUS-OPERATING-SYSTEM-SIGNAL]

Restart actions (select using :continue): 0: retry the compilation of /home/edi/prodata/html-fill.lisp 1: continue compiling /home/edi/prodata/html-fill.lisp but generate no output file 2: Retry performing #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL @ #x7154e1a2> on #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "html-fill" @ #x715878aa>. 3: Continue, treating #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL @ #x7154e1a2> on #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "html-fill" @ #x715878aa> as having been successful. 4: Abort SLIME compilation. 5: Abort handling SLIME request. 6: Abort entirely from this (lisp) process. [Current process: repl-thread] [1] CL-USER(1): CL-USER>

It turned out I had forgotten a closing parenthesis at the end of one form. If I do the same thing from the command line it looks like this:

; While compiling FILL-PAGE: Warning: Variable *LOG-NAME* is never used. Error: eof encountered on stream #<EXCL:FILE-SIMPLE-STREAM #p"/home/edi/prodata/html-fill.lisp" for input pos 22368 @ #x722e3de2> starting at position 1712. [condition type: END-OF-FILE]

Restart actions (select using :continue): 0: retry the compilation of /home/edi/prodata/html-fill.lisp 1: continue compiling /home/edi/prodata/html-fill.lisp but generate no output file 2: Retry performing #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL @ #x7148e20a> on #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "html-fill" @ #x71495c5a>. 3: Continue, treating #<ASDF:COMPILE-OP NIL @ #x7148e20a> on #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "html-fill" @ #x71495c5a> as having been successful. 4: Return to Top Level (an "abort" restart). 5: Abort entirely from this (lisp) process.

[changing package from "COMMON-LISP-USER" to "PRODATA"] [1] PRODATA(2):

Any idea why SLIME behaves like this?

[Allegro 7.0 beta on Linux, GNU Emacs 21.3, SLIME from CVS.]

Cheers, Edi.
