[slime-devel] Missing features in latest CVS
Hi, I recently upgraded from 2007-05-24 to 2007-11-16 snapshot, and I notice there are some useful features that are now gone. I've tried enabling basically everything in contrib/, but those two I can't get back: - Inspecting a (plain) function object now only shows its name and docstring. It used to show much more, in particular recorded debug information, source file and disassembled compiled code - There are no presentations in SLDB backtraces. I find presentations immensely useful for inspecting backtraces, and I miss them a lot. I do get presentations everywhere else, including streams, but not in the debugger I'm using SBCL 1.0.10 on x86/Linux, and SBCL hasn't changed since I used the May snapshot. Cheers, Maciej

I fixed that now in CVS.

A part of the functionality for presentation can achieved with ordinary commands. The other part was removed. I removed presentations from the debugger and I won't put them back. Helmut.

I removed presentations from the debugger and I won't put them back.
Could you elaborate on that decision, your rationale and intended replacements? Being able to inspect the actual parameters in a backtrace scores about 12 on a 1-10 usefulness scale, losing it is a huge hit. Could you move it to a contrib package instead? Cheers, Maciej

I, at least, seem to be able to inspect parameters in a backtrace by hitting RET on a frame and then RET on the relevant local variable line. I have no particularly fancy contribs active -- only slime-asdf, slime-autodoc, and slime-c-p-c. Is this not the case for you? Best, Christophe

Indeed, it seems to work. I know I tried doing various things to see if something doesn't trigger an inspection, I guess I somehow managed to press RET on wrong lines. Cheers, Maciej

Presentations are a contrib package and debugger doesn't know about that. Some kind of hook could be used, but that would be rather complicated. Despite that, presentations are (still) only useful in combination with a mouse and I almost never use the mouse with Emacs. Inspection can be done with RET. For the rest, I use slime-eval-in-frame.

FYI, I have just checked in keybindings for presentation-related commands. Matthias -- Matthias Köppe -- http://www.math.uni-magdeburg.de/~mkoeppe

I've also noticed that copying presentations to the REPL using middle-mouse-click doesn't work any more. the attached patch fixes that -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.

I'm seeing the same thing again, everything but the docstring and name has disappeared. CVS snapshot from 15 minutes ago. Cheers, Maciej
