Hi,

Continuing from a previous discussion I was having directly with Luigi
Panzeri about this issue.  I was having problems with unknown foreign type
errors.

I'm running Leopard (10.5.1) on a PowerBook G4 under SBCL v.1.0.2

I've quoted his initial response.  He suggested I ask here to see if someone
else has the solution, though my initial problem was solved by his
suggestion.  I've run into a new problem though.

This was the source of the type error messages, but when I fixed that and
tried again, I got these errors from SBCL:

==== START OF LOG ====
Compiling CLOS bindings for Appkit framework in
/usr/local/lib/sbcl/site/cl-objc/src/frameworks/Appkit-CLOS.lisp
Control stack guard page temporarily disabled: proceed with caution

debugger invoked on a SB-KERNEL::CONTROL-STACK-EXHAUSTED:
  Control stack exhausted (no more space for function call frames).  This is
probably due to heavily nested or infinitely recursive function calls, or a
tail call that SBCL cannot or has not optimized away.

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [RETRY ] Retry performing #<ASDF:LOAD-OP NIL {11ABD101}> on
              #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "generate-frameworks-bindings"
{11AC19A9}>.
  1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating #<ASDF:LOAD-OP NIL {11ABD101}> on
              #<ASDF:CL-SOURCE-FILE "generate-frameworks-bindings"
{11AC19A9}>
              as having been successful.
  2: [RETRY ] Retry installation
  3: [ABORT ] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
==== END OF LOG ====

Retrying does nothing to help with this problem, and even eventually leads
to bad memory accesses on the part of SBCL, and an eventual seg fault.

Oh yeah, I'm using ASDF-Install to install Cl-ObjC by running the following
in SBCL:

(require 'asdf)
(require 'asdf-install)
(asdf-install:install 'cl-objc)

Anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

Thanks,

I have never been able to get Luigi Panzeri's cl-objc to run  
successfully under sbcl on an intel mac (neither 32 nor 64 bit)  
running Leopard. I always run into some error or other before it  
finishes compiling.

I haven't looked at the source much at all, but does cl-objc take any  
cognisance of the fact that the interface to the objective-c runtime  
is different in Leopard than it was in Tiger?

regards,

Ralph

Well, I'm running on a PowerPC, but I don't think that would make a big
enough difference.  Could be wrong though.

If that's true then that might be the problem, though I don't know why it
would be causing the errors I'm getting.  If I knew more about how the lisp
code is interfacing with objective-c code, I might try to solve the problem
myself.

Going through the list archives I noticed that my problem has been reported
previously.  Its basically a stack overflow so its the same thing that
Jianshi Huang reported on Dec 1, 2007.

I'll just wait, like he is, for the next release.

Thanks,
Jeremy Shoemaker
