Update to ECL 9.10.2. Changes since previous package:
ECL 9.10.2: =========== * Bugs fixed: - Fixed typo in src/c/unixint.d that affected single-threaded builds - The GMP library did not build in OS X Snow Leopard in 64-bits mode. - The package MP is needed also in single-threaded versions (for fake mp:with-lock, which is used in CLX). - In CLX, there were a couple of typos in the code related to locks and ECL. These typos only revealed in multithreaded builds of the CLX library. - In Linux there is a problem with handlers for SIGFPE being totally ignored by the system. The problem seems to be solved by avoiding the use of feenableexcept() and restricting to C99 exception tests. That is bad because we can not reliably and cheaply detect underflow exceptions. - Under OS X, --enable-rpath works again. It was broken for about a year due to my misunderstanding of how -install_name works and the differences between that and -rpath. ECL 9.10.1: =========== * Configuration flags: - The option --enable-slow-config is now always on in Solaris and it does not take more time than an ordinary build using --with-system-gmp=no - A new compiler macro ECL_NO_LEGACY can be defined to remove all deprecated macros and functions. Have a look at the end of src/h/external.h to see what functions are deprecated on each release -- typically they are functions that have been renamed with one of the prefixes, ecl_, cl_, si_, ext_ or _ecl. - Under OS X, you can use the environment variable ABI to select between 32-bits (ABI=32) or 64-bits pointers (ABI=64). * Bignums: - When embedded, ECL may coexist with code that uses the GMP library in different ways, and sometimes that code may use different memory allocation routines. In order to solve this problem ECL introduces a new option, ECL_OPT_SET_GMP_MEMORY_FUNCTIONS, which determines whether GMP will use the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector to allocate memory or not. - The previous change also implies that ECL must do all bignum computations using GMP-allocated numbers that are then automatically freed. More precisely, this is done using big_register[0-2]_get() and big_register_normalize() everywhere and operating destructively on those numbers. These functions have been made aware of the fact that GMP may use other allocation routines and always call mpz_clear() to free memory. - The internal functions dealing with bignums have been renamed with the usual prefix "_ecl", and some of them have been turned into macros. Do not use those functions if possible. - Bignums are now allocated as a compact IMMUTABLE unit that combines the lisp object and the data for the GMP integer itself. Since it can be now allocated as an atomic (i.e. pointerless) region of memory, the garbage collector has to work less for marking and collecting them. - The function ecl_alloc_simple_vector() also creates arrays as a compact unit with pointerfree memory whenever possible. - The functions cl_alloc_simple_{base,extended}_string() now carry the prefix ecl_ instead of cl_, and they are simple aliases for ecl_alloc_simple_vector. - ECL now implements weak pointers. The interface is (ext:make-weak-pointer value) => weak-pointer (ext:weak-pointer-value weak-pointer) => value and it defines a new built-in type, EXT:WEAK-POINTER - When running in multithreaded mode, the streams for *terminal-io*, *standard-input* and *standard-output* are created using non-locking C pipes, instead of locking C streams. This is essential to allow background threads gain control of the console. * Native threads: - ECL now implements WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS and WITH-INTERRUPTS similarly to SBCL. It creates three local macros, ALLOW-WITH-INTERRUPTS and WITH-LOCAL-INTERRUPTS, and an additional one WITH-RESTORED-INTERRUPTS, which executes the forms with the value of interrupts of the forms that surround WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS. - Symbol SI:*INTERRUPT-DISABLE* changes name to SI:*INTERRUPTS-DISABLED*. - New function MP:PROCESS-JOIN, waits for a thread to terminate (J.C.Beaudoin) For this to work, threads are always created in a joinable state, and they only detach themselves when exiting and no process is waiting. - EXT:QUIT now has a different definition (ext:quit &optional (exit-code 0) (kill-all-threads nil)) The first difference is that QUIT will execute all unwind-protect forms that surrounds the form that caused the exit. The second one is that we can explicitely kill all threads and wait for them to exit before exiting. - Two new functions MP:PROCESS-SUSPEND and MP:PROCESS-RESUME allow suspending and resuming a thread. - The C function ecl_import_current_thread() now automatically registers the thread with the garbage collector. You should use ecl_release_current_thread() before the thread exits, for consistency. - Due to the change in ecl_import_current_thread(), ECL now needs a slightly more modern version of the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector. Hence, even if you try to enforce --enable-boehm=system, you may find that ECL ignores the pre-installed library in favor of the one shipped with it. * Bugs fixed: - WITH-LOCK might run into a race condition when the lock acquisition process was interrupted. - The following functions are now interrupt safe: MP:MAKE-LOCK. - The use of GIVEUP-LOCK in WITH-LOCK is now protected against interrupts. - Forms in toplevel EVAL-WHEN or PROGN statements did not have a proper value of bytecodes.definition, causing the debugger to enter an infinite chain of errors - In Solaris 8 ECL failed because it did not find inttypes.h - When signbit() is not available, ECL now looks for existence of copysign. * Signals and environment: - The toplevel now allows handling multiple processes in the same console. Two new commands, :w and :s, allow reading the list of processes waiting for grabbing the console and switching to that given process. - ECL now has a signal handling thread running in the background. When Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break is pressed or the process gets a SIGINT signal, then a separate thread is spawned for handling that event. This thread typically enters the debugger, allowing either to continue or to interrupt specific processes. * Packages: - The package hash tables are not destructively extended, but rather a new hash table is created when we need more room. ecl_sethash() now returns the pointer to the possibly reallocated hashtable. - ECL now follows the SBCL model, by which there is a global lock for destructive package operations (INTERN, EXPORT, etc), but not for query only operations (FIND-SYMBOL, PACKAGE-USE-LIST), etc. * Windows: - The latest version of Visual Studio introduced a number of automatically generated files (*.implib, *.manifest, *.expdef) which are not used at all by ECL, but which were also not deleted, causing the temporary directory to be filled with garbage. - FASLs created by COMPILE and LOAD in the directory for temporary files are now properly deleted before exiting ECL. - ECL now embeds the manifest file in the generated executables and shared libraries. * Other errors: - Extended strings (i.e. strings with characters that are not base-characters) were not identified as valid documentation strings by the interpreter.
