[slime-devel] SBCL, Win32 and git SLIME

[Gleb Golubitsky]

Hi All,

2 days ago i'd checkouted fresh SLIME from git repo
(http://github.com/nablaone/slime.git) and found out that SLDB with
SBCL at win32 is broken. The trouble was when you enter to sldb and
choose any restart, the inferior-lisp completely hangs (when i try to
evaluate something in REPL the only i got was the message "the command
is queued").

I've hacked abit into the code and found a workaround for this problem:

diff --git a/swank.lisp b/swank.lisp
index b66af8a..35b879b 100644
--- a/swank.lisp
+++ b/swank.lisp

+    #-(and sbcl win32)
     (wait-for-event `(:sldb-return ,(1+ level)) t) ; clean event-queue
     (when (> level 1)
       (send-event (current-thread) `(:sldb-return ,level)))))

I'm not sure whether this "patch" breaks something else but it's working for me.
