This package provides the following services:
Atom SLIME Linter
Lints your Common Lisp (source.lisp or source.common-lisp) files by attempting to compile them in Slime.
apm install linter-slime-lint
Dependencies
- Emacs
- SLIME. If you don't have it installed, you can just
git clone https://github.com/slime/slime.gitsomewhere - Common Lisp compiler. I use SBCL (
brew install sbcl) - Atom Linter.
apm install linter
Setup
Set the paths for the relevent executables and libraries in the settings.
Cavaets
Since this builds the files, it will create the .fasl compiled versions if it
is successful.
Background
This starts up a headless Emacs session and tries to compile the current
file, whenever you save it, using SLIME. While it would be much simpler
to just run, say sbcl, on your file and parse the output for errors,
sbcl doesn't return line numbers for the errors it encounters.
