[slime-devel] SWANK:*SLDB-PPRINT-FRAMES* still available?
After a major software upgrade and various CVS problems, after over a month I have finally updated my working copy of SLIME's CVS tree. But when I start SLIME with CMUCL, I get this error related to my ~/.swank.lisp: ;; Loading #P"/home/paolo/.swank.lisp". Reader error at 56 on #<Stream for file "/home/paolo/.swank.lisp">: Symbol "*SLDB-PPRINT-FRAMES*" not found in the SWANK package. [Condition of type LISP::READER-PACKAGE-ERROR] Restarts: 0: [CONTINUE] Use symbol anyway. 1: Return NIL from load of #P"/home/paolo/.swank.lisp". 2: Return NIL from load of "/home/paolo/src/slime/swank-loader.lisp". 3: [ABORT ] Return to Top-Level.

Is there equivalent functionality in current SLIME? I use GNU Emacs 21.3.2 and CMUCL 2004-12 under Slackware Linux 10.0. Paolo -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

It has been renamed to *sldb-print-pretty*. There is also a bunch of new *sldb-print-xxx* variables to customize printing in the debugger. The manual is currently a bit behind with the code, but a quick search in the ChangeLog gives usually a hint was happened to previously exported symbols. Helmut.

I recall the rename. At that time, since I knew I was not going to update my sources for some time, I added a comment to my ~/.swank.lisp noting the new name for the variable. Bet when I tried it today and got the above error, I thought some other changes had been made while I was not watching. Paolo -- Why Lisp? http://alu.cliki.net/RtL%20Highlight%20Film

The symbols are generated by a macro and weren't exported. Now they are. Helmut.

Slightly tangentially: in SBCL the experience of replacing various *FOO-PRINT-????* variables with a single *FOO-VARIABLE-ALIST* has (imo) been mostly positive. This style makes the issue of keeping user-customizations up to date with provided varibles: instead of (setf *foo-print-pretty* t *foo-print-level* 3) users do (setf *foo-variable-alist* '((*print-pretty . t) (*print-level* . t))) but implementors still muck with *foo-print-pretty*, and use WITH-FOO-IO-SYNTAX: (defmacro with-foo-io-syntax (&body forms) `(call-with-foo-io-syntax (lambda () ,@forms)) (defun call-with-foo-io-syntax (function) (let ((*print-pretty* *foo-print-pretty*)) ; and other internal defaults (progv (nreverse (mapcar #'car *foo-io-syntax*)) (nreverse (mapcar #'cdr *foo-io-syntax*)) (funcall function)))) How would a patch along these lines for Slime sound?
