A low-level client for the [Swank][swank] server of [SLIME][slime].
# Overview
swank-protocol is a small, low-level client for Swank. It handles connections
and reading/writing messages.
This is not a full client for Swank, it’s a permissively-licensed library for
building Swank clients. It doesn’t match requests to responses, it doesn’t
asynchronously read responses and events from Swank. It just takes care of the
low level details: Connecting, sending messages down the socket, reading and
parsing incoming events and responses, and optionally logging.
# Usage
First, load everything:
“‘
(ql:quickload :swank-protocol)
“‘
Run this to start a Swank server on ‘localhost:5000‘:
“‘lisp
(setf swank:*configure-emacs-indentation* nil)
(let ((swank::*loopback-interface* (uiop:hostname)))
(swank:create-server :port 5000 :dont-close t))
“‘
Now we connect:
“‘
(defparameter connection
(swank-protocol-make-connection (uiop:hostname)
5000))
(swank-protocol:connect connection)
“‘
Now we can start sending requests:
“‘lisp
(swank-protocol:request-connection-info connection)
“‘
And reading responses:
“‘lisp
(swank-protocol:read-message connection)
“‘
For instance, let’s create a REPL. First, we require some modules:
“‘lisp
(swank-protocol:request-swank-require connection
’(swank-presentations swank-repl))
(swank-protocol:request-init-presentations connection)
“‘
(Don’t worry about the symbols’ package)
Now we actually create it:
“‘lisp
(swank-protocol:request-create-repl connection)
“‘
Now we can send things for evaluation:
“‘lisp
(swank-protocol:request-listener-eval connection "(+ 2 2)")
“‘
And receive the results:
“‘lisp
(swank-protocol:read-all-messages connection)
“‘
# API
## ‘connection‘
The ‘connection‘ class has the following readers:
* ‘connection-hostname‘: The Swank server’s hostname.
* ‘connection-port‘: The Swank server’s port.
And the following accessors:
* ‘connection-request-count‘: The integer ID of the last request sent to the
Swank server. Starts at zero.
* ‘connection-package‘: The package where things are evaluated. This should be
changed when you send a request to Swank to change the current package.
* ‘connection-thread‘: This is the keyword ID of the thread to execute things
in. ‘t‘ is used by default to tell Swank to pick the default thread.
* ‘connection-log-p‘: Whether to log messages as they are read/written.
* ‘connection-logging-stream‘: The stream to log things to, by default,
‘*error-output*‘.
Instances of ‘connection‘ can be created with ‘make-connection‘:
“‘lisp
;; A regular connection
(make-connection "my-hostname" "1234")
;; A connection with logging
(make-connection "my-test-server" "1234" :logp t)
“‘
The ‘connect‘ function connects to the Swank server and returns t.
## Input/Output
After connecting, you can do two things: Send messages or read them.
To write messages, you can use ‘emacs-rex‘, which takes a connection and an
S-expression to send to Swank. Implicit in this request, and stored in the
‘connection‘ object, are two bits of information: The current package and the
request ID.
To read messages, you use ‘read-message‘, which takes a connection and reads the
next message coming from Swank. The result is an S-expression.
## High-level Functions
There are higher-level convenience functions that call ‘emacs-rex‘, to minimize
repetition and error:
### ‘connection-info‘
Requests connection information. The matching response is a plist with
connection information.
Example response:
“‘lisp
(:return
(:ok
(:pid 1234
:style :spawn
:encoding (:coding-systems ("utf-8-unix" "iso-latin-1-unix"))
:lisp-implementation (:type "SBCL" :name "sbcl" :version "1.2.9" :program "/usr/local/bin/sbcl")
:machine (:instance "laptop" :type "X86-64" :version "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz")
:features (:bordeaux-threads ... :x86-64)
:modules ("SWANK-REPL" ... "uiop")
:package (:name "COMMON-LISP-USER" :prompt "CL-USER")
:version "2014-12-23"))
