Thanks for the input, I've got it working now, albeit in a hackish way. But I think this is an idea for a feature in slime, other people must have this problem too: you have a lot of threads running and suddenly they all pop up the same error you can't sensibly interact with emacs any more...

You could change the *debugger-hook* variable to handle the conditions as what you want, e.g.

(defvar *use-slime-debugger* t) (setq *debugger-hook* (let* ((slime-debugger-hook *debugger-hook*) (new-debugger-hook (lambda (&rest args) (if *use-slime-debugger* (apply slime-debugger-hook args) ; do what you want )))) new-debugger-hook))

But be aware, there might be additional problems you could meet.

Hi,

...

is there a good way to prevent slime (or rather swank) from dropping into the slime debugger depending on the value of a variable? Specifically I want to limit the number of open debugger windows to 1 and simply log all further simultaneous errors. Any help appreciated,

Chris
