[slime-devel] Emacs menus and warnings
I used to always see the good menus created by SLIME, such as "Lisp" and "SLIME". These days, I usually see the SLIME-originated menus on the Emacs menu bar ("Lisp", "Presentations" and "SLIME", "REPL") -- but all of them are usually empty. Not always: * Yesterday, after picking up Helmut's changes, I saw the menu items in these menus. * In one instance of Emacs now, I can see only items in the "Lisp" menu. * In another instance of Emacs, all these menus are empty. What drives building these menus? Is there a variable to tweak? Separately, FYI, these are the warnings I get compiling the freshest SLIME: In slime-complete-maybe-restore-window-configuration: slime.el:3620:20:Warning: `last-command-char' is an obsolete variable (as of Emacs at least 19.34); use `last-command-event' instead. slime.el:4717:20:Warning: `next-line' used from Lisp code That command is designed for interactive use only slime.el:4718:20:Warning: `previous-line' used from Lisp code That command is designed for interactive use only In slime-next-line/not-add-newlines: slime.el:4730:10:Warning: `next-line' used from Lisp code That command is designed for interactive use only -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --

Are menus empty when you're not compiling Slime? -- With Best Regards, Stas.

Separately, FYI, these are the warnings I get compiling the freshest SLIME:
In slime-complete-maybe-restore-window-configuration: slime.el:3620:20:Warning: `last-command-char' is an obsolete variable (as of Emacs at least 19.34); use `last-command-event' instead.

slime.el:4718:20:Warning: `previous-line' used from Lisp code That command is designed for interactive use only
This has been brought up in the past. See: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/9508 and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/9509 Unfortunately for the SLIME developers, this could be a recurring message as new users come to SLIME and notice the warnings.

Yes, send a patch to the list and if the developers (who know the code better than the general user community) accept it, they will commit the change to the CVS repository and announce the change in a Daily Changelog Diff email message to the list. Regarding your problem with menus, I have not seen this problem. I am not using CMUCL, but it sounds as though it should be independent of the Lisp used. I think that what Stas Boukarev is suggesting is that you attempt to reproduce the problem using non-compiled .el files, that is, delete your .elc files and restart Emacs. Another step that you might try would be to minimize your SLIME configuration and attempt to reproduce the problem. For example, put your SLIME initialization code in a separate file, say, ~/.emacs.d/your-slime-init.el, and then start Emacs with: emacs -Q --load ~/.emacs.d/your-slime-init.el If the problem is still occurring then mail a copy of your initialization code to this list. It should then be reproducible by other SLIME users.

I installed your initialization code (modified for my `load-path' and Lisp implementation) and started it with Emacs 23.1 and the latest revisions of SLIME's files in its CVS repository, and started Emacs with emacs -Q --load your-slime-init.el I did not see the problems that you are seeing with menus. Some things to try: - Be sure that you're specifying '-Q' or '--quick' to Emacs to eliminate the possibility that some other Emacs-Lisp code is interfering with your initialization code, above. - Delete all compiled Emacs-Lisp files (*.elc) in your SLIME directory tree. - Check the *Messages* buffer for any error messages that might provide some information about why SLIME is not working.

Did check that and other buffers -- no messages to talk about. Why your run may be different from mine: 1. I am on FreeBSD. 2. I use Emacs built from the source. Now, with your experience reported, I just tried another Emacs mode, SQL, and found that it also adds empty menus for me now (it was not the case in the past.) Never mind then; I hoped to hear a simple tip on a variable or method in SLIME code that adds menus, from people well familiar with the code, but I will just explore this on my own.
