PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED 

European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 30th - May 1st, 2012 

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. 

We invite submissions in the following forms: 

[ELS 2012] European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia; call for papers

Welcome to a Quantum computing. Where not looking,for another 
Quantum leap in technology tomorrow but a INFINITE leap in 
technology today. Pushing - Quantum physics and Science to the 
Technological edge!! 

Quantum computers promise enormous computational advance: 100 
quantum particles can do the work of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 
of today's best computers (experiments with 7 quantum particles have 
been done at LANL). 

Cutting-edge quantum science experiments are the foundation of this 
new technology. 

Investigations into methods for fabrication of large scale devices

Re: Portable directory listing function

"Peter Seibel" <peter <at> javamonkey.com> wrote in message 
news:<m3hdxb7ywv.fsf <at> javamonkey.com>...
So I'm trying to write a function that returns a list of pathnames
representing files contained in a given subdirectory including
immediate subdirectories. Further, I want the subdirectories to be
represented by pathnames in "directory form", i.e. with all the name
elements in the directory component of the pathname as opposed to
"file form" where the last name element is split up into the name and
type components. Here's what I've got so far which I've tested on
current versions of SBCL, CMUCL, Lispworks, OpenMCL, Allegro, and
CLISP. If you have easy access to other implementations and care to
test this out, let me know what readtime conditionalization I need to
add.

In corman this is

#+cormanlisp
(multiple-value-bind
   (files dirs)
     (cl::directory-files-and-subdirs wildcard)
   (append files dirs))

but wild-pathname and file-namestring are not defined and :wild often not 
treated correctly

The attached patches fixes that

Network Programming

Are there any good Corman-specific tutorials concerning sockets.lisp 
or network programming in general? I know that there are some simple 
examples in sockets.lisp itself but I was looking for something more 
in depth. Cheers and thanks in advance.

;;; An error occurred in function CSTRUCT-SLOT-INFO:

I have moved my SDL FFI bindings to a seperate package and are
receiving the following error when I try to set a variable in a
structure:

(setf (ct:cref sdl:SDL_Rect rectangle x) (random width))

;;; An error occurred in function CSTRUCT-SLOT-INFO:
;;; Error: Cannot access C type (STRUCT X SHORT Y SHORT W
UNSIGNED-SHORT H UNSIGNED-SHORT) with access X

The structure looks like this...

typedef struct {
	Sint16 x;
	Sint16 y;
	Uint16 w;
	Uint16 h;
} SDL_Rect;

I don't receive an error when I read from a structure, only write to
it. For example, this works just fine:

(eql sdl:SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN (ct:cref sdl:SDL_Event sdl-event type)

where SDL_Event looks like this...

typedef struct {
	Uint8 type;
    Uint8 buffer[1023];
} SDL_Event;

....

The problem seems to be that while the struct is exported, the
variables are not. Can't work out why accessing the struct works, but
attempting to write to the struct doesn't.

Anyone have any ideas ?

IDE string colorization; finally

After downloading the patches and recompiling the CCL image, suddenly
all strings in my IDE were rendered in purple. Took me a couple of
seconds before the penny dropped and I realized that my additions to
edit-window.lisp had taken effect.

So, if anyone wishes to add string colorization to their IDE, my
modifications are below...

-Luke

...Export the following additions strings...

"DARK-PURPLE"
"STRING-FORMAT"

... Just after 
(defconstant blue (win:RGB 0 0 255))

add the following...

(defconstant dark-purple (win:RGB 126 0 176))

... Just after
(defparameter lisp-symbol-format (make-text-format :bold t))

add the following...

(defparameter string-format (make-text-format :color dark-purple
:bold t))

.. Just after 
(defun format-commenting (ITextRange start end)

add the following...

(defun format-string (ITextRange start end)
    (format-text ITextRange start end 
        :bold (text-format-bold string-format)
        :italic (text-format-italic string-format)
        :color (text-format-color string-format)))

... In (colorize-buffer) , after 

((eq type ':comment) (format-commenting ITextRange start end))

add the following...

((eq type ':string) (format-string ITextRange start end))
