Re: Strange behaviour of *standard-output* in sbcl

Hi,

When executing following expression, the output file only has part of
contents. The size of this file is 12281.

(let ((*standard-output* (open "/home/haiwei/tmp/tmplog"
:if-exists :rename-and-delete
:if-does-not-exist :create
:direction :output)))
(judydl-enumerate root je))

You don't close the file, so some bytes remain in the buffer.


But I wrote another function which open a file and write data into
it. Then I got all the contents.
Is there any buffer or size limit on *standard-output* in sbcl?
My OS is ubuntu 8.04. The version of sbcl is 1.0.11.debian.

No, just be sure to close the file. WITH-OPEN-STREAM makes sure
stream is closed, which is why JUDYDL-ENUMERATE-FILE works.
By the way, isn't there anything choking you?

WITH-OPEN-STREAM
JUDYDL-ENUMERATE-FILE

Use rather WITH-OPEN-FILE, in JUDYDL-ENUMERATE-FILE.
Or implement a JUDYDL-ENUMERATE-STREAM.


In general, you will use WITH-OPEN-FILE.
