since T will be (mostly) pointers but some specialized vectors can remove pointers for e.g. ub64 or double-float

And then, if you really need ot know, you should refer to the documentation of sbcl and of clisp, and it probably won't be the same thing.

LdBeth: otherwise, you can always try (documentation 'system::*driver* 'variable) or (describe 'system::*driver*)

LdBeth: Third, it's not documented in clisp, so DUH! https://clisp.sourceforge.io/impnotes/idx.html

What is the best way to disable initargs validity checking for a particular #'change-class call?
9:43:15
no-defun-allowed
also, dunno if you can, validity checking is usually handled by however lambda lists are handled
9:44:23

"initargs validity checking" sounds like something silly like putting an odd number of values in the &key section, but i'm not sure

I'm not even sure how to do it globally withot total redefinition of primary method with &allow-other-keys

Quick question. Anyone got a reference on how to upgrade ASDF from 2 to 3? Linux, Lisp, Slime etc
10:32:20

akater: ASDF Manual s3.4, suggests using install tool install-asdf.lisp I'm not sure if I need a complete ASDF Git-pull and build first though.

adam4567: in principle: cloen asdf, issue make, call (compile-file "/path/to/asdf.lisp")
10:36:32
jackdaniel
then put "/path/to/asdf.fasl" in your chosen location and put in your lisp init file

Is there some compatible way to find out whether a PATHNAME is a directory or a file?
10:56:45
flip214
If there was a slash at the end there'll be no PATHNAME-NAME, but if there wasn't there will, so that alone isn't enough.

Basically, I've got a string; if it's a file, I want to read it, if it's a directory, I want to read all "*.conf" in there.

phoe: yeah, right, a kernel/filesystem access is needed. ah, PROBE-FILE does that? thanks!
11:23:00
flip214
phoe: I just found out that DIRECTORY also does this normalization; and it will already correctly handle "etc/*.conf" as well!

in ltk, if i use event loop for a continuous action with sleep for speed, i cant use the widget callbacks

I am asking because if there is anything that littlelisper is missing in McCLIM, we should put it on the TODO list.
