I'm using SLIME 2.0 so these may already be fixed, but maybe not. The Lisp is CLISP 2.41. 1. The syntax for complex numbers (like that: #C(1 1)) seems to mess with the feature that displays function arguments in minibuffer. It thinks that #C and (1 1) are actually two different arguments, which is annoying. 2. I wrote a function: (defun fast-orient (start end point) (declare (optimize (speed 3) (safety 0))) (declare (number start end point)) (> (anti-product (- point start) (- end start)) 0)) When I C-c C-c it, SLIME displays the following error: "FORMAT: The control-string must be a string, not WARN" [Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [ABORT] Abort SLIME compilation. 1: [ABORT-REQUEST] Abort handling SLIME request. 0: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND::SIGNAL-COMPILER-WARNING> 1: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND::C-WARN> 2: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::PARSE-OPTIMIZE-QUALITY> 3: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::PROCESS-DECLARATIONS> 4: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-LAMBDABODY> 5: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FUNCTION> 6: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM> 7: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-DIRECT-FUNCTION-CALL> 8: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-GLOBAL-FUNCTION-CALL> 9: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM> 10: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-PROGN> 11: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM> 12: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-LET/LET*> 13: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION #:|2104 2258 (DEFCONSTANT C-FORM-TABLE (LET # # ...))-169-1|> 14: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM> 15: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM> 16: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-PROGN> 17: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM> 18: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-LAMBDABODY> and so on... 3. The indentation of loop macro is strange and annoying. I can never figure out the principle behind it. Maybe some Python-style indentation mechanism could be used? -- Best regards, Timofei Shatrov mailto:grue@mail.ru
