SBCL fatal error: fake_foreign_call fell through
Hello group, I have a program which allocates memory arrays of significant size (to be precise - 25,120,127 structures V containing (fixnum, fixnum, unsigned-byte, fixnum) = 13 bytes each). I'm using SBCL 0.9.17 on Intel Macbook 2.0 Ghz 2.0Gb, Mac OS X 10.4.8 My program is structured like this (in lisp pseudo-... 27 Oct 2006 01:43

Someone explain (Mc)Clim to me as if I were 5 years old
I've managed to get McClim installed and running on debian with cmucl and slime, been playing with the examples, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. It might be b/c I haven't found a good tutorial, but I think it has more to do with the preconceptions about what a GUI toolkit is and how GUI programs are str... 27 Oct 2006 02:46

What does "protocol" mean in CLOS terms?
I think that I might understand what people mean when they talk about "protocols", but I am not sure. Note - I'm not talking about the Meta Object Protocol, just invented protocols. For example, Flexichain (http://common-lisp.net/project/flexichain/) talks quite a bit about the protocols for accessing data in a se... 25 Oct 2006 13:25

LISP-in-a-box or CLISP memory constraints?
Hello, I am working with LISP-in-a-box to run my LISP programs. I have two main functions: one creates a very large list of two-element lists (on the order of 139*139 of these two-element lists, to be exact). The second function evaluates each of these tuples. The first function creates the extremely large lis... 25 Oct 2006 15:32

Effect of multiple-processors on memory allocation
Someone pointed out an interesting problem to me that applies to JVMs, I'd be interested to understand how multi-threaded lisps deal with it. Lets say there is a variable "foo". It is assigned to by something like (setf foo (complex-stuff)). Consider the situation where two processors are used both running thre... 27 Oct 2006 01:12

Assistance Needed: Setf
Hello, I'm in the process of teaching myself clisp. I'm using Paul Graham Ansi Common Lisp book. While reading this book I've stumble upon sections, which I currently don't understand fully. setf: 1. It's been mentioned to avoid using setf and things like it. I understand this expression (setf x (list... 6 Nov 2006 11:59

trouble learning LISP
Can an IF statement in lisp execute multiple expressions if it tests false. For example: (if (null expression) nil ;;if nil then skip the else part ((expression1) ;; else do expression 1 and expression 2 (expression2)) ... 23 Oct 2006 15:49

Removing Strings from a list
Hello All, My first attempt at this hasn't worked and I was hoping for some insight. I'm trying to remove all string from a list and return them as a list. This is my first attempt: (let ((elements ())) (dolist item *LIST* (if (stringp item) (push (pop *LIST*) elements) ())) ... 6 Oct 2006 17:41
