I am working on a system and had a compile time error in one of my source files. When I quickload (asdf load) the system, I land in the debugger with a condition of type UIOP/LISP-BUILD:COMPILE-FILE-ERROR.

I know I can look at the error in the inspector, but I don't see the actual underlying compile error.

If I compile and load the particular file, I get a SB-INT:COMPILED-PROGRAM-ERROR which better directs me to the problem, but to get it, I abort from the debugger, open the file, and load that (or sometimes C-c C-c form by form) to get the more specific message.

Showing specbot replies publicly is useful mostly to tell other people where to look, or to ask people for help on an entry.

jasom: don't you see the error message in the REPL output, along with the QL output?

Hello, I'm printing out an argument to my function to figure out what it is, and all I'm getting is "[object Object]"
8:58:33
jdz
akr: no, I mean something that a JavaScript implementation (e.g., browser) would write to the console when an object is converted to a string instead of writing the object itself.
9:01:35
jdz
akr: also, instead of printing the value, you can use BREAK, and the inspector to inspect it.

If I declaim it in my repl, will that apply to packages I load with quicklisp and asdf?

It would be nice for a user to be able to specify that, so the library writer doesn't have to.

Guys, would you be able to point me towards Peter Norvig's note about his PAIP book being not anymore very useful for AI but still considered a very good CL book?

hey this is my first time using irc and this just seemed to ask lisp related questions. I was looking to learn a new language and make a text-adventure for fun in that language. Do you guys think that would be a good idea in lisp?

malgrand, there's a book for learning lisp with lots of games: <http://landoflisp.com/>

Hey I'm looking at USOCKETS and wondering whether people have already been running this with lots of sockets and e.g. adopting the more hardcore platform-specific select()-like system calls. Anybody been up to such mischief already?

I'm actually hacking Lisp on a fun project. Story for another time :). But it's jolly pleasant.

I'm peeking in the USOCKETS code (do we still capitalize symbol names like that? :-)) and I see that on LispWorks Linux it's delegating to a builtin mechanism (MP:NOTICE-FD, MP:UNNOTICE-FD), and on LispWorks Windows it's doing scary Win32 API calls, and on CCL it's calling select() via FFI. Seems quite nice that there is a backend for each platform that provides an easy point to hack. Just vaguely wondering if there are git branches aro
