13:57:32proleMy distro repositorie purpose a version of slime, slime-2.15, but it don't work either, with the error saying that I need make operation, and just stopping on a file
14:01:46proleThat's crazy how the help is good here. I truly don't understand why people are saying that the lisp community is bad; I only met very good and helpful people here
14:03:08beachprole: Yes, if you have reasonable questions, you follow the advice you get, and you learn between two questions, then usually the answers are to the point.
18:56:54drmeisterHi - I added some specialized vector/array types to Clasp and I thought I did everything right - but the new types/classes aren't working properly wrt subtypep
18:58:01drmeisterUh - pausing while I formulate thought
19:02:52drmeisterClasp implements the specialized vectors as C++ classes - so there are a bunch of them for signed and unsigned integers and integers of 8, 16, 32, 64 bits.
19:04:36drmeisterThe (vectorp <vec>) predicate returns T in both cases - so I have that much.
19:05:19drmeisterIf anyone has pointers on how to get Clasp's subclassp to respond properly - I'm all ears.
19:05:40drmeisterI will continue to dig into the subtypep code to figure out where the crucial test is.
19:07:52drmeisterWell, one reason I was having trouble was cacheing of the subtypep result- I figured out how to disable it.
19:13:21axionWhile I don't have a solution, I'd just like to thank you for your determination with Clasp over the years. I have not tried it yet, but it is a project on my radar.
20:13:59drmeisterIs this a problem? (subtypep (find-class 'core:simple-vector-int8-t) 'vector) -> NIL && (subtypep (find-class 'core:simple-vector-int8-t) (find-class 'vector)) -> T
20:14:27drmeisterIt's inconsistent right? It means I still have to weave 'core:simple-vector-int8-t into the subtypep code.
20:18:08jasomthe class of an object in lisp is not neessarily the same as its type
20:23:22jasome.g. all strings are in a single class despite there being 3 string types specified in the standard
20:27:15jasomI don't know if you're allowed to have the class of a vector be something other than the ones specified in the standard
20:27:47jasomhmm actually I think you are because IIRC some implementations define vectors of base-char to be a subclass of string
