[slime-devel] starting with a saved image

Hi, I would like to start sbcl as an inferior-lisp with slime and load a previously saved image (saved with sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die). How can I do this? I just want to do this occasionally, not all the time, and the path of the image is not fixed (I use many images), so I need to be able to enter that interactively. Thanks, Tamas

You can introduce lisp images with different names to SLIME-LISP-IMPLEMENTATIONS and start them via "M-- M-x slime RET lisp-image-name RET". Regards.

If your image creates a REPL on stdin, you can start SLIME with C-u M-x slime and enter something like sbcl --core <file> On startup, SLIME sends some forms to the stdin of the subprocess to load Swank. If the subprocess doesn't create a REPL then this approach will obviously not work. Helmut.
