[slime-devel] swank:*globally-redirect-io* behaviour

[Austin Haas]

I ran into this today, as well. I'm launching swank on a remote server and connecting over ssh through my local emacs. Any output sent to *standard-output* from a thread only appears in the console on the server and not in the SLIME repl.

My example is:

;;; Started on remote server...

(push "/home/astro/software/clbuild/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :swank)
(setf swank:*globally-redirect-io* t)
(swank:create-server :dont-close t)
(sb-impl::toplevel-repl nil)

;;; Connect to remote swank from client using ssh, emacs, and slime, then evaluate in emacs...

(sb-thread:make-thread
 (lambda ()
   (write-line "In some random thread." *standard-output*)))


Timur, did you find a solution?
