| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: &optional use-background-streams emacs-listener-number port announce-to-file
This function is obsolete. It has been replaced by new-start-emacs-lisp-interface. This function
is still defined to handle one anomalous case: you are using a 6.2
version of the Emacs-Lisp interface even though you are running
Allegro CL 7.0. In that case, when you want to start theemacs-lisp
interface and you are not doing so in the standard way (by calling the
emacs function fi:common-lisp), you may have to use this function on
the Lisp side. You are using the 7.0 Emacs-Lisp interface if
evaluating the emacs variable
fi:emacs-lisp-interface-version
results in a value
"3.9" or larger. (You can evaluate an emacs variable in the *scratch8
buffer by entering the variable name and then Control-J.) If you are
using the 6.2 interface, we recommend you update to the 7.0 version.
This function starts the 6.2 emacs-lisp interface (see eli.htm) on the Lisp side. The only situation in which you should call this function is:
You can start the interface after Lisp has been started, typically not in Emacs, with this function and the 6.2 emacs-lisp interface function fi:start-interface-via-file. This is typically done for debugging a running but apparently broken process. To do this, in Lisp call a form like:
(excl:start-emacs-lisp-interface t 1 7666 "~/.eli-startup")
Note we have specified the emacs-listener-number
as 1 (it must not be a number already used for a *common-lisp* buffer,
if any exist), the port as 7666 (it can be any
valid port number on the machine that is not already in use and can be
nil
, which causes the system to choose an
appropriate port number), and announce-to-file as
the file that will be used (it will be created for this call). Then,
sometime later on the emacs side, do this (the host is "pie"):
(fi:start-interface-via-file "pie" "*common-lisp*" "~/.eli-startup")
The arguments are the host running Lisp, the buffer name, and the filename.
The arguments to start-emacs-lisp-interface are:
t
.
nil
(the default)
causes the system to choose an appropriate value for the port.
