| Xach | i did? |
| michaelw | the cake? |
| Xach | oh, true |
| rahul | http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/22_cgb.htm at the bottom |
| fax | yeah ive seen that any known examples of a prime test or somthing? |
| michaelw | fax: how about this one then: http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-common-lisp-114.html |
| fax | just gives me errors oh theres a fix on the page ":| I dont see how goto makes it turing complete I you cant modify anything from within the format string, so how can you do anything... |
| rahul | turing completeness isn't about doing. it's about computing a result actually, it's about recognizing a pattern |
| froydnj | argh, my slime repl is hanging |
| fax | so well its possible to write a prime test just in the format string? e.g. (format nil ... 7) => "prime" |
| Hun_ | yep ~/function-name/ |
| splittist | fax: yes. Sadly the input line on this irc client is too small to contain the solution... |
| pkhuong | splittist: just split it! |
| froydnj | argh, unknown &key argument? |
| fax | splittist: haha |
| action | froydnj knew he should not have upgraded his slime |
| froydnj | knew he should not have upgraded his slime |
| pkhuong | (splittist, also I think his small theorem fit without problem ;) |
| fax | well or even a finite number of format strings I guess |
| robsynnott | did you upgrade it on both ends? |
| froydnj | robsynnott: "both ends"? |
| robsynnott | swank and the emacs bit |
| froydnj | cvs -z3 up in the slime directory, restart slime ah, now swank::find-external-format-or-lose is losing |
| robsynnott | this is exactly why I never update it (also, I've got the swank bit running on a couple of servers, and updating would just be far too much trouble) |
| froydnj | sigh, error in timer. do the slime people eat dogfood? |
| whaleofconfusion | is there any stronger way to interrupt slime than C-c C-c? I have accidentally caused it to do infinite macroexpansion |
| Xach | you can signal the process from the shell via "kill". you should get an error handler in slime. |
| whaleofconfusion | kill the sbcl process? |
| Xach | no, just send it an INT signal (the default of "kill") oops |
