15:52:35 drmeister_ Bike: I posted this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/1aeedw1/repairing_remarkable_marker_plus/

15:52:45 drmeister_ Off topic - I know.

15:53:04 drmeister_ Bring me the other one and I'll try it again.

15:53:17 drmeister_ Good morning everyone.

15:55:04 bike Alright

18:41:22 paulapatience Is there any way to describe to Clasp how to inspect objects which are instances of C++ classes?

18:56:30 yitzi Can you clarify? What do you mean?

19:22:07 stassats` like cl:describe-object but for inspect?

19:42:29 yitzi If you are talking about functions defined with clbind, then what is there to inspect? There aren't any slots as far as Clasp is concerned. Its all wrapped_pointer.

19:43:14 yitzi Core classes defined by LISP_CLASS, etc. are different.

20:03:48 paulapatience When you click on an unreadable object in Sly, it opens up the sly-inspector

20:04:04 paulapatience Which allows you to click on slots to inspect them, etc.

20:05:20 paulapatience Maybe it would be cool to allow something similar for C++ classes, e.g., if the user specifies what the members are, when you click on it in the REPL it can show the values of members

20:05:30 paulapatience Instead of stuffing all that information in print-object

20:06:37 paulapatience And yes, I am talking about the wrapped_pointers

20:07:14 paulapatience Obviously it wouldn't be as interactive as with slots, but it could give you a better idea of the object's state

20:17:28 yitzi The best that you could do with the current framework is add inspect case https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/blob/d23de8b433394ec88daac0c2a7f1fc47d17d10c2/src/lisp/kernel/lsp/describe.lisp#L453

20:18:19 yitzi wrapped pointers are completely opaque so there isn't really anything to iterate over.

20:20:31 yitzi I started on an new inspector that can be extended with iteration of additional axes (like slots) for SICL, but it requires pretty printing which SICL doesn't have yet. So it is mostly just a proof-of-concept now.

21:11:46 paulapatience Got it, thanks
