freenode/lisp - IRC Chatlog

13:17:03 samlamamma I'm doing some work on WebAssembly. It's very frustrating to read non-lisper's WASM, they spread their right parens around like discarded toe nails

13:31:38 Odin- "It's the same as block scoping, right?"

13:32:14 Odin- They need to get their act together on the GC and shared linking stuff.

14:04:02 harovali beach: no-defun-allowed: thanks

14:04:50 harovali i killed the buffer and restarted slime without creating another inferior lisp

14:06:19 harovali beach: sure, I'd like to use the best option in the context I am. But I ran (inspect ...) because it was a step in this clim tutorial https://kantz.com/clim-primer/application-frames.htm

14:08:22 beach I see.

14:09:27 beach What I usually do when I write a CLIM application, I include a command that starts Clouseau on the frame or on a pane.

14:14:08 p_l Odin-: there's a significant benefit if one wants to implement GC themselves in that multivalue is getting actually implemented

14:22:55 Odin- p_l: As I understand it, that's considered a base for the in-platform GC stuff.

14:24:29 p_l it's one of the requirements

14:24:38 p_l it's also a requirement for a bunch of other things

14:25:00 p_l because it allows to write code that doesn't use `locals`

14:41:21 harovali beach: interesting , thanks

14:43:55 pjb minion: memo for emaczen: lisp itself is just an assembler. Just avoid the most sophisticated macros (or consider lisp as a macro assembler and use them!). See for example: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.lang.lisp/T3UZwLoN0lw/4r9q_8cwKoQJ THIS IS YOUR STABLE ASSEMBLER!

14:43:55 minion Remembered. I'll tell emaczen when he/she/it next speaks.

16:33:26 pnp is there any way to interrupt a running process in the slime-repl? I have that process that is not terminating and i would like to kill it (stop the running operation) it from Emacs...

16:33:54 beach C-c C-c should work.

16:42:45 pfdietz I had some trouble with that running sbcl from slime under WSL.

17:52:44 jmercouris pfdietz: OK

17:53:00 jmercouris pfdietz: does it work?

17:53:47 jackdaniel there is a certain medium value of "work" for which it does!

17:54:12 jmercouris well well well! perhaps a windows port will never be necessary!

17:54:51 jackdaniel you talk as if sbcl were not ported to windows already

17:55:11 jmercouris I thought windows support was poor

17:55:13 pfdietz It works well enough. If I really need to interrupt it I go to the Ubuntu window and kill -SIGSEGV its pid.

18:48:39 sjl TIL that while (round) is required to round half to even, format's ~,VF directive is allowed to use half-to-whatever-it-wants.

18:51:55 sjl $ ccl --eval '(format t "~,3F" 0.5625d0)' --eval '(quit)' # => 0.562

18:51:57 sjl $ sbcl --eval '(format t "~,3F" 0.5625d0)' --eval '(quit)' # => 0.563
