[hunchentoot-devel] slime foreground buffer for hunchentoot
I'm interested in having the ability to break, trace, etc., all the functions running in Hunchentoot. Is there any trick for this? I'd really like to ideally have a SLIME REPL buffer dedicated to it. Has anyone accomplished such a thing? I know Hunchentoot is not running in my main REPL thread. I'm assuming it's just running in one other thread, or mainly in one other thread, making this seem manageable. I'm mostly using CCL and SBCL for devel currently. Thanks, Mark

I don't know about a dedicated Slime buffer, but I run Hunchentoot single-threaded when I need to debug something in the request execution path. That blocks the REPL buffer, but works well for many situations. I'd be interested in learning how Slime can be used to debug multi-threaded programs. Any insight would be appreciated! -Hans

Do you have a flexible way to switch to a single-threaded hunchentoot?

No, the start functions in my applications usually accept a singled-threaded-p argument or something similar. I'm open to suggestions how Hunchentoot could be improved to make switching between multi and single-threaded modes easier, if required. -Hans
Just to all be on the same page, could you share how exactly you start with a single thread? Is it something like (setq hunchentoot::*supports-threads-p* nil) before you call hunchentoot:start? Note that *supports-threads-p* is not exported (need double ::'s). In any case, I think a good start would be to have documented way to choose single vs. multithreaded. And it should not be confused with the having the capability or not, so I think it should be a different variable. I guess on a non-*support-threads-p* platform, it could be an error to choose multithreaded, but otherwise, I'd like a high-level way to choose. But I'm very new to this, so please forgive me if I'm lost and missed something, as is probably the case.

(hunchentoot:start (make-instance 'hunchentoot:acceptor :port 9911 :taskmaster (make-instance 'hunchentoot:single-threaded-taskmaster))) does that for me. I agree that this is verbose and also not obvious from the documentation - I have the plan to improve on that, but I can't make any promises other than that I'll be working on a Hunchentoot based project in July and hope to put in some time to get the Hunchentoot release done as well. -Hans
