[slime-devel] SLIME + CMUCL + Threads

[Steve Huffman]

Hi All,

I'm working on reddit.com and have been suffering from mysterious  
lockup issues. I'm told there is an issue I've neglected to address  
between SLIME and CMUCL.

My .cmucl.init-lisp contains these lines:

(swank:create-server :dont-close t)
(mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops)

I launch CMUCL via detachtty and connect to it via emacs + SLIME on  
my local machine. I've recently learned of the slime-multiprocessing  
variable in emacs, but do not set it from its default at present.  
I've also learned that swank:*communication-style* plays a roll in  
all of this.

My question is, how do all these pieces fit together? The goal is to  
start CMUCL with detachtty and have our website run in all its multi- 
threaded glory, but allow me to connect with SLIME when I need to  
modify things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Steve Huffman
