Package slime-1.0+20050228-2

SLIME (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs) extends Emacs with new support for interactive programming in Common Lisp. The features are centered around slime-mode, an Emacs minor-mode that compliments the standard lisp-mode. While lisp-mode supports editing Lisp source files, slime-mode adds support for interacting with a running Common Lisp process for compilation, debugging, documentation lookup, and so on.

Make sure Emacs' `inferior-lisp-program' is set to a compatible lisp implementation lisp by including something like this in your .emacs file: (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") Currently, sbcl, openmcl, cmucl, clisp, lispworks, allegro cl, and abcl are supported to varying degrees. Use `M-x slime' in Emacs to start slime and connect to a supported Common Lisp environment. Open a lisp-mode file and do `C-h m' to see the mode description. Security note: SLIME has Lisp open a one-use TCP listen socket for Emacs to connect to for setting up communication. With all Lisps except CLISP and ABCL this socket is bound to the loopback interface and thus inaccessible to remote hosts. Be aware that if an attacker connected to this server port before Emacs then they could have the Lisp process execute arbitrary code.
