| minimal-criminal | tiny typo in CFFI documentation, anyone care? oh no its just me unable to read infact |
| vy | lichtblau: I'm working on a small wiki and yesterday I suprised when I hit the problem I mentioned. I didn't give any sample case because I forgot the places where I tried the this interactive debugging. But if if would give you a useable hint, I'll note 'em down this night while coding some. |
| ricky_clarkson | vy: Is there some distance between your IRC client and the code you're working on? |
| minimal-criminal | unf is there any CFFI tutorial for using arrays |
| v0|d | vy: back. |
| vy | ricky_clarkson: Umm... I'm currently studying for my real analysis final. That's why I cannot (shouldn't) code right now. |
| Dr^Nick | I've called NSApplication run from sbcl via ffi, and i have my windows running. i have a window that lets me enter text so I can continue to lisp as I run my window'd app. |
| Xach | sweet. |
| Dr^Nick | as it stands, if a user mistypes, lisp throws an exception which breaks the runloop sorry, sbcl throws an exception |
| Xach | dang, doesn't ITA have its own internal chat? it's like #ita in here! |
| Dr^Nick | ita? |
| Xach | Dr^Nick: you could handle the error |
| Dr^Nick | Xach - I'd love to. Unforunately I'm just not a strong enough lisper yet. |
| Xach | Dr^Nick: the Internet Travel Agency. it's a think tank where they train engineers how to unlock bathrooms for rewards. |
| Dr^Nick | ahaha ok |
| minimal-criminal | Dr^Nick: What FFI to Objective C are you using? or just CFFI? |
| Dr^Nick | just CFFI |
| minimal-criminal | h ok Dr^Nick: I stuck SBCL inside the MacOS folder and put a shell script which launches SBCL to run some scripts in the Resources folder.. Dr^Nick: What kind of setup do you use? (script here for ref http://rafb.net/p/8HVuWp43.txt ) |
| jsnell_ | Dr^Nick: are you trying to ask how to handle the error? if so, a more direct approach might be more effective |
| Dr^Nick | hrm. I just start sbcl, load my shared object and lisp file |
| jti | Anybody know if anybody's tried porting Mikel Evins' Bosco to SBCL? |
| minimal-criminal | Oh I see |
| Dr^Nick | jsnell: I suppose thats true. More to the point, I need to know where I can go to figure this stuff out for myself |
| jsnell | reading a book is a good first step |
| minimal-criminal | Are you using a Nib or generating a GUI programatically? |
| Dr^Nick | Programmatically jsnell - sure. I've got paul grahams books, though I haven't gone through on lisp yet |
| minimal-criminal | ok |
| jsnell | doesn't ansi common lisp cover the condition system?! |
| minimal-criminal | Dr^Nick: I have some code to make subclasses of ObjC classes Dr^Nick: Im working on adding ivars now.. |
| jsnell | you could try the chapter on conditions in practical common lisp |
