[ELS 2012] Call for Participation

Apologies for the multiple postings.
====================================

European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 29th - May 1st, 2012

Call for Participation.

http://european-lisp-symposium.org

The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.

The main theme of the 2012 European Lisp Conference is
"Interoperability: Systems, Libraries, Workflows".  Lisp based and
functional-languages based systems have grown a variety of solutions
to become more and more integrated with the wider world of Information
and Communication Technologies in current use.  There are several
dimensions to the scope of the solutions proposed, ranging from
"embedding" of interpreters in C-based systems, to the development of
abstractions levels that facilitate the expression of complex context
dependent tasks, to the construction of exchange formats handling
libraries, to the construction of theorem-provers for the "Semantic
Web".  The European Lisp Symposium 2012 solicits the submission of
papers with this specific theme in mind, alongside the more
traditional tracks which have appeared in the past editions.

Chris weiterhin in Haft

Liebe Genossen, liebe Genossinnen, liebe Bürger!

Chris weiterhin in U-Haft

Nach dem ersten 6-stündigen Verhandlungstag gegen den Antifaschisten Chris
wurde die Verhandlung nun auf den 16. September vertagt. Der Genosse wird
bis dahin weiterhin von den Repressionsorganen in Untersuchungshaft
gehalten. Vor, während und nach dem Prozess solidarisierten sich über 70
Menschen mit dem Beklagten, vor dem Amtsgericht gab es eine Kundgebung,
während im Gerichtssaal kaum mehr Platz war wegen dem hohen Andrang. Während
der Kundgebung und dem Prozess vor dem Stuttgarter Amtsgericht fuhren zudem
6 Polizeiwannen auf.

Im Gerichtssaal wurde Chris von seinen Genossen mit Applaus empfangen. Die
Staatsanwaltschaft führte mehrere Zeugen vor. Der erste Zeuge, ein Polizist,
verglich die Auseinandersetzungen gegen die rassistische Partei DIE FREIHET
unter anderem mit den Protesten gegen Stuttgart 21 und meinte, dass er sowas
seit 6 Jahren nicht erlebt habe. Auf Nachfrage der Verteidigung, konnte er
aber letztendlich nicht aussagen, dass er alle “Tritte” vom Angeklagten
abbekommen hätte. Als nächste Zeugin wurde wiederum eine Polizist
vorgeladen. Bei den Aktionen wurde sie damals selbst vom
Pfefferspray-Einsatz ihrer Kollegen erfasst. Während der Verhandlung saßen
zudem mindestens zwei Vertreter der rassistischen Partei DIE FREIHEIT im
Gerichtsaal und fotografierten heimlich Prozessteilnehmer. Einer der
Polizeibeamten schien wohl ein Bekannter eines Rassisten zu sein. Ein Video
von den Protesten gegen die rassistische Partei DIE FREIHEIT am 5. Juni
wurde dem Richter als Beweismittel vorgeführt. Ein zwei weitere Zeuge,
diesmal Vertr
eter der rassistischen Partei, werden vorgeladen. Ihr Aussagen zu den
“Täter” widersprechen sich teilweise.

Re: CLG on Arch

Hello,

I'm having difficulty installing the CVS version CLG using SBCL-1.0.45-1 on
Arch. Seems to be getting stuck trying to compile the "glib" and
"glib-preload" components.  Any suggestions?

Best,

Clg won't compile with SBCL>= 1.0.35.15 and a patch

Hi,

Clg won't compile with SBCL of a version >= 1.0.35.15.  This is because
SB-KERNEL:TYPE-EXPAND was replaced by SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND in SBCL 1.0.35.15.
Adding the following:

#?+(pkg-config:sbcl>= 1 0 35 15)
(sb-ext:without-package-locks
  (defun type-expand (form)
    (typexpand form)))

somewhere around the type expansion code in clg/gffi/interface.lisp will
get around this problem.  SB-EXT:WITHOUT-PACKAGE-LOCKS is needed because
TYPE-EXPAND is still exported from the SB-KERNEL package for no reason.

Best,

-cph

Compiling clg with SBCL 1.0.30

Hello all members,
I'm trying to build OpenMusic on Fedora10 which is a graphical programming
environment for composers based on CLOS. It requires clg and SBCL v.1x.
I downloaded clg 0.93 and tried to follow instalation instruction.
But unfortunately I can't compile the Alien Function package - here is 
what I get:

[piotr <at> localhost sbcl-0.8.21-af]$ sbcl --load "system"
This is SBCL 1.0.30, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
BSD-style licenses.  See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
distribution for more information.

Could anyone please help me with this problem I  - any suggestion will 
be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,

P.S. I really need OpenMusic but I am not very experienced with lisp.

returning a PROXY

Same story as

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=18925.45196.206073.901800%40zaphod.home.loc

This time it's more generic as SBCL complained about a null
tree-view-column as return value, which is handled with a proxy.

Here is a patch for what it is worth:

*** proxy.lisp.~1.10.~	2008-05-06 11:00:51.000000000 +0200
--- proxy.lisp	2009-05-06 13:38:14.000000000 +0200

TREE-PATH as return type

There seems to be an inconsistency between the return type for
tree-path arguments and %TREE-PATH-TO-VECTOR.

As I can see from the first line

(defun %tree-path-to-vector (location)
  (unless (null-pointer-p location)
    (let ((indices (%tree-path-get-indices location))
	  (depth (%tree-path-get-depth location)))
      (if (null-pointer-p indices)
	  #()
	(map-c-vector 'vector #'identity indices 'int depth)))))

this function can return NIL when passed a null pointer.
Unfortunately RETURN-TYPE for TREE-PATH returns a '(VECTOR INT *),
which is OK for CMUCL (who is probably ignoring the declaim produced
by DEFBINDING) but makes SBCL angry whenever a GTK function returns a
null pointer.

This patch mends the problem:

*** gtktree.lisp.~1.34.~	2008-05-06 11:00:50.000000000 +0200
--- gtktree.lisp	2009-04-21 13:24:55.000000000 +0200

      (alien-type 'pointer))

+   (define-type-method return-type ((type tree-path))

+   
    (define-type-method size-of ((type tree-path) &key inlined)
