I'm debugging my (Common) Lisp code in Slime tied to clisp.
When the debugger generates the Backtrace it's my understanting that I can hit 'v' on a frame to take me to the source.
However, when I do this on the any frame I get:
frame-source-location not implemented
Is this expected, am I missing anything?
Edit1: In addition every single frame has "No Locals", is this to be expected too?
Edit2: In fact, the whole backtrace output is pretty unintelligible. I'm new to Lisp, so I wasn't initially sure if this was expected or not - but I'm attaching a screenshot, hopefully someone can confirm for me if this looks 'normal':
Edit3 I'm guessing this is related
Since posting the question I have found this link which seems to indicate the Slime and clisp integration is not quite working as it should be.
So, in the meantime I have installed Steel Bank Common Lisp (sbcl), as easy as (on Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get install sbcl
and configured Slime to use that instead of clisp:
Snippet of my .emacs file:
;;; Lisp (SLIME) interaction
;;(setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp")
(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")
This results in more pleasant debug output:
