[Openmcl-devel] *read-default-float-format* in IDE

[Arthur Cater]

Some time ago I was asking how to set the default package for the listener.
Getting no answer I developed this - admirably elegant ;) - workaround, in my
ccl-init: perhaps adapting it will do the job for you.

  (defun goblin::set-listener-package (package &optional complain)
    (let ((process (find "Listener" (ccl::all-processes) :key #'process-name :test #'equal)))
      (if process
        (prog1 t
          (gui::eval-in-listener-process process (format nil "(in-package ~s)" package)))
        (when complain (format t "~&Could not find Listener process~%")))))
  (process-run-function 'set-listener-package
    #'(lambda nil (do (it) (it t)
                    (unless (setf it (goblin::set-listener-package :goblin nil)) (sleep 0.1)))))

Ideally, I like to set it to ns:cg-float so that both 32 and 64 bit cocoa lisps read the proper format (as you know, CGFloat is 32 bits on 32-bit systems and 64 bits on 64-bit systems)
