Previously there were at least 5 different ways MACHINE_ARCH could be set,
some statically and some at run time, and in many cases these settings
differed, leading to issues at pkg_add time where there was conflict
between the setting encoded into the package and that used by pkg_install.
Instead, move to a single source of truth where the correct value based on
the host and the chosen (or default) ABI is determined in the bootstrap
script. The value can still be overridden in mk.conf if necessary, e.g.
for cross-compiling.
ABI is now set by default and if unset a default is calculated based on
MACHINE_ARCH. This fixes some OS, e.g. Linux, where the wrong default was
previously chosen.
As a result of the refactoring there is no need for LOWER_ARCH, with
references to it replaced by MACHINE_ARCH. SPARC_TARGET_ARCH is also
removed.

changes in sbcl-1.3.1 relative to sbcl-1.3.0:
* enhancement: SB-THREAD support for ARM64.
* enhancement: compiling an out-of-line DEFSTRUCT constructor call
will warn if a defaulted value is incompatible with its slot type.
* enhancement: a local INLINE declaration on a structure constructor
will work as intended, subject to any other factors that inhibit
inlining, even if the DEFSTRUCT was not itself within a global
INLINE proclamation for the named constructor
* enhancement: SB-EXT:DYNAMIC-SPACE-SIZE is now defined for cheneygc.
* enhancement: x86[-64] platforms support SB-EXT:CAS on structure slots
of type SB-EXT:WORD
* enhancement: the interleaved structure slot optimization from
release 1.2.6 has been ported to 32-bit x86, Sparc, PowerPC, ARM64.
* enhancement: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD signals a proper error when an attempt
is made to join the current thread
* bug fix: NTH-VALUE does not cause stack overflow. (lp#1511419)
* bug fix: structure constructor type checking is better. (lp#1508735)
* bug fix: supplied-p variables for unused optional or keyword variables no
longer confuse SB-DI:PARSE-COMPILED-DEBUG-FUN-LAMBDA-LIST (and thus the
backtrace machinery) (lp#1498644)
* bug fix: Backtrace correctly handles undefined-function frames on MIPS.
* bug fix: WITH-FLOAT-TRAPS-MASKED correctly clears accrued traps on MIPS
(fixes issues with floating-point type derivation in the compiler).
* bug fix: FLOAT-NAN-P and FLOAT-TRAPPING-NAN-P now work correctly on MIPS
and HPPA.
* bug fix: MIPS context register access now masks to 32 bits (fixing issues
parsing negative-fixnum values for internal-error arguments and escaped
debug variables on 64-bit CPUs).
* bug fix: (SETF SAP-REF-DOUBLE) with constant offset on big-endian MIPS
now works correctly.
* bug fix: Callback parameter (argument) handling on MIPS is now vastly
more correct.
* bug fix: %DECREMENT-SEMAPHORE adjusts the remaining timeout after a
spurious wakeup

changes in sbcl-1.3.0 relative to sbcl-1.2.16:
* minor incompatible change: the environment passed to a macro/setf/deftype
expander is not always an object of type SB-KERNEL:LEXENV.
It can be nil, as is permissible by the standard.
* enhancement: ported to ARM64 Linux.
* enhancement: a new interpreter is included which has many benefits
over sb-eval. It is disabled by default. See src/interpreter/README
for instructions to enable it, and further details.
* bug fix: calling COMPILE when SB-EXT:*EVALUATOR-MODE* was :INTERPRET
would fail to perform "normal semantic processing such as macro expansion"
as stipulated by X3J13 issue LOAD-TIME-EVAL.
* bug fix: SB-UNICODE:CONFUSABLE-P no longer treats "<" and the empty
string as confusable. (lp#1504739)
* bug fix: (ASSERT (COMPUTE-IT ...)) would expand incorrectly
if COMPUTE-IT was a local macro that shadowed a global function.
* bug fix: SB-POSIX:CFSETISPEED and SB-POSIX:CFSETOSPEED now work properly
on platforms that use only the minimum specified set of fields in struct
termios (verified on Linux, still known not to work on FreeBSD and NetBSD,
very probably others). (partial fix for lp#1500951)
changes in sbcl-1.2.16 relative to sbcl-1.2.15:
* enhancement: by default, timers with a repeat interval do not "catch up"
by repeatedly calling their function after a clock discontinuity such as a
suspend and resume cycle
* bug fix: correctly restore multiple values on the stack in the presence of
alien calls. (lp#1489590)
* bug fix: MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM enforces that :ELEMENT-TYPE
is a subtype of CHARACTER.
* bug fix: an EQL method specializer no longer causes garbage retention
if there are no extant methods using the specializer. (lp#492851)
changes in sbcl-1.2.15 relative to sbcl-1.2.14:
* new feature: DEPRECATION declaration for functions, variables and types
causes {EARLY,LATE,FINAL}-DEPRECATION-WARNING to be signaled when subject
of the declaration is used. Integrated with DESCRIBE, DOCUMENTATION and
SB-CLTL2:{VARIABLE,FUNCTION}-INFORMATION. Documented in the "Deprecation"
section of the manual.
* enhancement: ASDF updated to 3.1.5. (lp#1476867)
* enhancement: definitions within PROGN get proper source locations when
compiled (needs latest Slime to take advantage of this). (lp#1473147)
* enhancement: source locations for DEFCLASS slots now point directly to the
slot definitions, not the whole DEFCLASS form.
* bug fix: better source location in the presence of quoted forms.
(lp#1370561)
* bug fix: better source locations inside backqoute. (lp#1361502)
* bug fix: HANDLER-BIND requires that the handler-function be
a function designator at the time of binding establishment. (lp#1480679)
* bug fix: inlined functions surrounded by nested macrolets are properly
inlined. (lp#309123)
changes in sbcl-1.2.14 relative to sbcl-1.2.13:
* minor incompatible change: The name of a compiled anonymous lambda
as returned by the third value of FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION can have
a lambda-list-like list following the introductory LAMBDA that is not
in general a syntactically valid lambda list. Specifically, it won't
retain default values, supplied-p variables, or &KEY or &AUX bindings.
* enhancement: DESTRUCTURING-BIND has been totally reimplemented from
scratch to address a handful of performance and correctness issues.
Some minor behavioral differences exist regarding order of evaluation
of default forms for unsupplied &OPTIONAL and &KEY arguments
when nested destructuring patterns are involved.
(lp#707556, lp#707573, lp#707578, lp#708051)
* enhancement: DEFCONSTANT and DEFSTRUCT respect package locks. (lp#1186238,
lp#1036716)
* enhancement: sb-unicode:normalize-string has a new optional argument,
FILTER, a callback which controls which decomposed characters are
collected. Useful for stripping away diacritics more efficiently.
* bug fix: (TYPE-OF ARRAY) for a non-simple array is subject to change
after a call of ADJUST-ARRAY. (lp#1333731)
* bug fix: Dynamic-extent allocation with a loop between allocating a value
and the start of its environment no longer discards the allocated data
when the loop is taken. (lp#1472785)
* bug fix: Variable-reference elimination no longer generates incorrect code
under certain circumstances. (lp#1446891)
* bug fix: variables with EQL types are no longer treated as constants by
VOPs, which caused problems with closures being allocated for such
variables, but they remained unused. (lp#1390149)
* bug fix: Windows installer generates registry key name
correctly. (lp#1476447)

changes in sbcl-1.2.13 relative to sbcl-1.2.12:
* incompatible change: on success, TRY-SEMAPHORE and WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE
return the new count
* enhancement: WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE accepts a decrement parameter
* enhancement: JOIN-THREAD allows distinguishing timeout vs. abort in all
situations
* enhancement: On Windows DBG_PRINTEXCEPTION_C is handled and its message is
printed. (lp#1437947)
* bug-fix: TRUENAME works properly on broken symlinks presented as
directories. (lp#1458164)
* bug fix: Inlined DPB and DEPOSIT-FIELD don't interfere with left-to-right
order of argument evaluation. (lp#1458190)
* bug fix: (SETF (LDB (BYTE 1 2 JUNK) X) 0) is rightly rejected.
* bug fix: DEFSETF lambda lists should not permit argument destructuring.
* bug fix: calls to (SETF SLOT-VALUE) on a missing slot would in certain
situations incorrectly return the result of a SLOT-MISSING method
instead of always returning the new value. (lp#1460381)
* bug fix: a DEFMACRO occurring not at toplevel and capturing parts of
its lexical environment (thus being a closure) caused expressions
involving the macro name to cause corruption in the pretty-printer
due to faulty introspection of the lambda list of a closure.
* bug fix: out of line MAP/MAP-INTO check that the results produced by the
function are of the matching sequence type. (lp#1459581)
* bug fix: pretty-printing of '(LET `((,X ,Y)) :B) is handled correctly.

changes in sbcl-1.2.12 relative to sbcl-1.2.11:
* minor incompatible change: the SB-C::*POLICY* variable is no longer
a list. Code which manipulated it as such (including but not limited
to non-bundled releases of ASDF) will need to be revised.
* enhancement: The input stream for COMPILE-FILE implements
STREAM-LINE-COLUMN.
* enhancement: EVAL errors that occur by way of LOAD report the starting
line and column number of the erring toplevel form. (lp#565247)
* optimization: better MAP and MAP-INTO on known vector result types.
* bug fix: Read/modify/write macros accessing a place which is a
composition of CAR+CDR operations, such as (SHIFTF (CADR X) (ELT V 0)),
do not access subforms more than once. (lp#1450968)
* bug fix: short form of DEFSETF no longer allows trailing junk.
* bug fix: DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO respects the provisions of CLHS 5.1.3
regarding argument evaluation order. (lp#1452539)
* bug fix: POP works as specified in CLHS if the setter for its
argument has a side-effect on the existing CAR value. (lp#1454021)
* bug fix: Reading "#()" with a positive numeric argument signals a
reader error. As specified, reading "#1()" has undefined consequences,
so correct portable code should be indifferent to this. (lp#1252100)
* bug fix: Malformed reader conditionals such as "(#-no-such-feature)"
and "(#+sbcl)" no longer parse as NIL. (lp#1454400)
changes in sbcl-1.2.11 relative to sbcl-1.2.10:
* enhancement: SET-PPRINT-DISPATCH will warn when given an expression in
which any part is unrecognizable as a legal type-specifier.
The dispatch table will be altered, but the new entry is disabled.
Subsequent type-defining forms will cause pprint-dispatch tables to
re-examine whether any disabled entries should be enabled. (lp#1429520)
* enhancement: Loading code containing calls to a deprecated function will,
under most circumstances, signal warnings similar to compiling such code.
The usual caveat holds about not detecting calls through a computed name,
as in (funcall (intern "DEPRECATED-FUN" "SB-EXT")).
* enhancement: (SB-EXT:COMPILE-FILE-LINE) is a new macro that expands
to a constant (VALUES integer integer) indicating the source line/column
from which it was read, intended for logging Lisp runtime errors in
a style similar to that afforded by the C preprocessor __LINE__ macro.
Similarly (SB-EXT:COMPILE-FILE-POSITION) returns a position in characters.
* enhancement: improved source locations for VOPs, alien types and
declarations.
* bug fix: functions in :FINAL deprecation have the correct docstring.
No visible change, as no such functions presently exist. (lp#1439151)
* bug fix: (SETF (FDEFINITION this) (FDEFINITION OTHER)) signals an error
if OTHER names either a macro or special-operator. (lp#1439921)
changes in sbcl-1.2.10 relative to sbcl-1.2.9:
* minor incompatible change: all SOCKINT::WIN32-* functions have been
deprecated with EARLY deprecation state
* minor incompatible change: performing introspection via the system-internal
SB-INT:INFO function could expose that :TYPE :TRANSLATOR is not necessarily
a function, as it always was before. (Affects swank-fancy-inspector)
* enhancement: The value of SXHASH on bit-vectors of length equal to the
word size now depends on the vector's contents instead of being constant;
its value on bit-vectors of length divisible by the word size now depends
also on the contents of the vector's last word.
* bug-fix: sb-bsd-sockets on win32 uses proper C function declarations.
(lp#1426667)
* bug fix: A new dead code elimination phase removes dead code loops
that confuse stack analysis. (lp#1255782, lp#308914)
* bug fix: A toplevel form which was simple enough to bypass the main
compiler in COMPILE-FILE, and which contained an empty SETQ or PROGN
would produce an invalid fasl file. (lp#1427050)
* bug fix: The compiler no longer signals an internal error when
encountering invalid FUNCTION forms like (function 1)
* bug fix: express proper dependencies in the ASDF contrib, to support
systems where make runs in parallel. (lp#1434768; thanks to Nikhil
Benesch)

changes in sbcl-1.2.9 relative to sbcl-1.2.8:
* minor incompatible change and bug fix: unboxed numeric constants
on x86oids are arranged in memory differently, and the disassembler
does not show them separately in DISASSEMBLE, but does
if DISASSEMBLE-CODE-COMPONENT is used. (lp#1421987)
* optimization: The compiler's treatment of type specifiers makes
it slightly faster and more memory-efficient. Portable code
should be indifferent to this change, however, users of
SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-TYPE might notice that (MEMBER T NIL)
and (MEMBER NIL T) are both internally collapsed to the former,
so that the latter can never be obtained as part of an FTYPE.
* optimization: a TYPEP call in which the second argument is not a
QUOTE form but nevertheless recognized as a compile-time constant
might open-code the test. One scenario for this involves backquote,
such as (TYPEP x `(my-type ,some-arg)). Code which relied upon
deferring until runtime should declare (NOTINLINE TYPEP).
[Due to the sematic constraints of DEFTYPE etc in in CLHS 3.2.2.3,
code requiring delayed evaluation could be unportable though.]
* enhancement: unused variables at the top-level are now reported.
(lp#492200)
* bug fix: DEFCLASS handles cyclic {super,meta}class relations better
(lp#1418883)
* bug fix: compiler no longer signals an error when compiling certain
function calls. (lp#1416704, lp#404441, lp#1417822, lp#1234919)
* bug fix: compiler doesn't stumble on a LOGIOR transform. (lp#1389433)
* bug fix: more robust debugger and backtraces. (lp#1413850, lp#1099500,
lp#1412881, lp#945261, lp#1419205, lp#1409402)
* bug fix: files larger than 4GB can now be compiled.
* bug fix: x86 truncated results from 64-bit foreign functions to 32 bits.
* bug fix: file-position didn't work on large files on win32. (lp#1271545)
* bug fix: callbacks from foreign threads can work without enabling
sb-safepoint.
* bug fix: sb-introspect:function-lambda-list works properly on interpeted
macros. (lp#1387404)
* bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY properly handles non-adjustable arrays. (lp#886418)
* bug fix: compiler no longer fails to dump a multidimensional array
constant involving a circular reference to itself
* bug fix: conditional and nested DX allocation no longer confuse the
compiler in STACK analysis. (lp#1044465)
* bug fix: sb-rotate-byte constant folding bug fixed. (lp#1423682)
changes in sbcl-1.2.8 relative to sbcl-1.2.7:
* enhancement: better error and warning messages. (lp#1314767, lp#736383)
* enhancement: backtrace for invalid argument count produces the exact
supplied arguments including the extra ones, on x86, x86-64 and ARM.
* enhancement: a STYLE-WARNING is signaled for DEFSTRUCT accessors which
are used before the structure is defined; similarly for the predicate.
* optimization: FORMAT NIL with only ~a and string arguments is transformed
into CONCATENATE.
* optimization: POSITION and FIND when inlined into code that is compiled
with qualities of safety < 2 and speed > space will no longer signal
an error on circular lists, but will potentially loop forever if given
no :END constraint. As was always the case, calls that are not inlined
are safe regardless of lexical policy.
* bug fix: CLOS methods compiled with (OPTIMIZE (DEBUG 0))
no longer cause debugger failure when printing a backtrace
* bug fix: more resilience to deleted code. (lp#1308328, lp#1390544)
* bug fix: the CLHS example of MAKE-LOAD-FORM involving TREE-WITH-PARENT
did not work, and now it does.
changes in sbcl-1.2.7 relative to sbcl-1.2.6:
* optimization: returning constant values refers to preboxed constants
more reliably. (lp#1398785)
* enhancement: a STYLE-WARNING is produced if a compiler-macro is defined
for a function after at least one ordinary (not inlined) call to that
function was compiled, indicating a likely compilation order problem.
Likewise a warning ensues if a call is compiled to a function
that is subsequently proclaimed INLINE.
* enhancement: always lose() when something goes wrong while saving a core
(instead of just printing an error on stderr in some situations).
* enhancement: frames in the debugger are now restartable by default.
* bug fix: restore error handling on Windows x86.
* bug fix: MAKE-SEQUENCE detects type errors in its :INITIAL-ELEMENT
at compile-time when possible. (lp#330299)
* bug fix: parsing of malformed type specifiers no longer results
in a memory-fault-error.
* bug fix: LOOP properly destructures nested lists in WITH.
* bug fix: MACROEXPANDing the redefinition of an alien structure type no
longer signals the wrong error.
* bug fix: PROGV doesn't get confused by forced DEBUG 3 (lp#1405456).
changes in sbcl-1.2.6 relative to sbcl-1.2.5:
* enhancement: SERVE-EVENTS uses the poll() system call in lieu of
select() if the OS has the former. Previously poll() was used
only if waiting on exactly one file descriptor.
* enhancement: efficiency of access to untagged structure slots is improved
on x86-64, and the order of slots in memory is exactly as specified by
defstruct, simplifying use of structures as arguments to foreign calls.
* bug fix: SB-DEBUG:ARG now works in all TRACE options which evaluate forms.
(lp#1357826)
* bug fix: GC memory corruption during internal memory handling.
* bug fix: duplicate effective-slot-definition objects as compared
by EQ on name could be present in CLASS-SLOTS of a class whose
metaclass was structure-class or condition-class. (lp#1049423)
* bug fix: HANDLER-BIND with empty bindings works again; regression in
1.2.5. (lp#1388707)
* bug fix: ATOMIC-INCF works on structure slots in interpreted code.
(lp#1381867)
* bug fix: MAKE-ARRAY properly handles character types like (eql #\a) and
(member #\a #\c). (lp#1392068)
* bug fix: READ sometimes accidentally preserved a whitespace character
after a token when it should not have. (lp#327790)
changes in sbcl-1.2.5 relative to sbcl-1.2.4:
* enhancement: sb-bsd-sockets now has basic support for IPv6
* enhancement: An sb-unicode package has been added, containing
many functions related to handling Unicode text
* enhancement: The reader now normalizes symbols to Normalization
Form KC (NFKC). This behavior can be disabled with
SB-EXT:READTABLE-NORMALIZATION
* enhancement: a style-warning is signaled if OPTIMIZE declarations
multiply specify a quality with differing values. (lp#310267)
* bug fix: conservatively pointed to pages wipe out unused dwords so
that they cannot act as false roots in turn.
* bug fix: the walker's handling of lexical variable and symbol-macro
bindings is improved (lp#375326, lp#1368305)
* bug fix: HANDLER-{BIND,CASE} no longer drop into ldb when a clause
contains an undefined condition type; regression in 1.1.19 (lp#1378939)
* bug fix: in interpreted code, inequality predicates did not type-check
arguments that weren't examined, and a 1-argument use of MIN or MAX
accepted a complex number. (lp#1373702)
* bug fix: APROPOS and APROPOS-LIST handle inherited symbols correctly.
(lp#1364413, thanks to Zach Beane)
changes in sbcl-1.2.4 relative to sbcl-1.2.3:
* enhancement: the sequence functions MAP, CONCATENATE and MERGE now call
the new generic functions SEQUENCE:MAP, SEQUENCE:CONCATENATE and
SEQUENCE:MERGE respectively when the specified result type designates an
extended sequence.
* bug fix: Wrong binding order of supplied-p parameters in macro lambda
lists. (lp#721135)
* bug fix: VALIDATE-SUPERCLASS returns T when the superclass is the
universal superclass (lp#1332983)
* bug fix: reading an uninterned symbol whose print name has the
syntax of an integer signals an error. (lp#310062)
* bug fix: the walker is less likely to be confused when walking LET* forms
with special bindings and use of those bindings and others of the same
name.
* bug fix: a rare bug affecting 32-bit platforms resulting in a
fatal condition with the message "Globaldb rehash failure" has been fixed.
changes in sbcl-1.2.3 relative to sbcl-1.2.2:
* enhancement: DOCUMENTATION works on instances of
FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS
* enhancement: ASSERT reports arguments of calls to lexical functions in
additional to global functions.
* enhancement: ASDF updated to 3.1.3
* enhancement: UIOP can be loaded without ASDF.
* bug fix: some methods on CHANGE-CLASS did not finalize the new class
before accessing its class-precedence list.
* bug fix: CHANGE-CLASS no longer fails on unbound slots in the source
object.
* bug fix: CHANGE-CLASS signals an appropriate error when the destination
class is a FORWARD-REFERENCED-CLASS.
* bug fix: CHANGE-CLASS no longer signals bogus TYPE-ERRORs for slots for
which initargs have been supplied.
* bug fix: saving cores on ARM was broken since the introduction of GENCGC.
(lp#1349795)
* bug fix: macroexpanding a backquoted expression involving ",."
outside of the compiler failed. (lp#1354623)
changes in sbcl-1.2.2 relative to sbcl-1.2.1:
* incompatible change: the #\` ("backquote") reader macro was reimplemented
to support robust pretty-printing. Reading a form involving #\` produces
an invocation of the QUASIQUOTE ordinary macro which may contain subforms
that are not lists. Code that unportably attempts operations on
un-evaluated forms resulting therefrom, e.g.
(SUBST a b (read-from-string "`(x (,y))"))
might generate incorrect results and/or errors.
* enhancement: support for GNU/kFreeBSD x86.
* enhancement: ATOMIC-INCF and ATOMIC-DECF can operate on (CAR x), (CDR x)
and DEFGLOBAL variables of type fixnum.
* enhancement: arithmetic constant reduction is now performed on defconstant
constants too. (lp#1337069).
* bug fix: certain ftype proclamations containing &optional t &rest t no
longer cause subsequent definitions to signal bogus style-warnings.
* bug fix: #\Bell and #\Bel now read to different characters. (lp#1319452).
* bug fix: CAS SYMBOL-VALUE on locally special variables didn't work.
(lp#1098355)
changes in sbcl-1.2.1 relative to sbcl-1.2.0:
* enhancement: GENCGC is enabled on ARM.
* enhancement: better error reporting for invalid calls to local functions.
* enhancement: support for GNU/kFreeBSD distributions. (lp#1079954, thanks
to Christoph Egger)
* enhancement: experimental support for threads on NetBSD/x86-64. (thanks
to Robert Swindells)
* enhancement: support for DragonFly BSD. (lp#1292845, thanks to Vasily
Postnicov)
* bug fix: TYPE-OF must not return AND/OR/NOT expressions.
(lp#1317308)
* bug fix: accessing NIL arrays stopped producing errors. (lp#1311421)
* bug fix: DISASSEMBLE no longer prints unwanted stuff. (lp#1251861)
* bug fix: compiling SVREF on unknown types no longer produces scary errors.
(lp#1258716)
* bug fix: assorted LOOP fixes and enhancements. (lp#645534, lp#1322923,
lp#700538, lp#613876, lp#695286, lp#798388)
* bug fix: silence compiler notes from the SEARCH transform. (lp#1071310)
* bug fix: array type intersection handles T and unknown element types
correctly. (lp#1258716)
* bug fix: fix a corner case in array type unparsing that would result in
misleading translations from our internal type representation.
* bug fix: array-rank now sees through union and intersection types.
(lp#1310574)
* bug fix: when DECLARE expressions are in the wrong place, be careful not
to attempt to evaluate the subforms. (lp#573747; thanks to Roman
Marynchak)
* bug fix: misplaced and missing declarations in DEFTRANSFORM. (lp#1066451)
* bug fix: FBOUNDP returned NIL for a class of incorrect function names
instead of signaling an error. (lp#1095483)
* bug fix: fix a compile-time AVER in regalloc: lifetime analysis
used to (rarely) introduce duplicate conflict markers in a single
TN/block pair. (lp#1327008)

* enhancement: when SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE fails due multiple threads, the
report of the signaled conditions lists currently running threads.
* enhancement: ported to ARM linux.
* enhancement: sb-gmp contrib has been updated. (lp#1305266)
* enhancement: new contrib sb-mpfr by Stephan Frank.
* bug fix: MAKE-SEQUENCE works with sequence types defined via DEFTYPE

only supported by the native version, so ensure /usr/bin/nm is called. Also
explicitly pass the --arch flag to ensure the correct compiler flags are used.

changes in sbcl-1.1.18 relative to sbcl-1.1.17:
* optimization: COERCE is now more effecient for more cases when the type is
known at compile-time.
(lp#1309815)
* bug fix: correctly inherit condition initforms. (lp#1300904)
* bug fix: properly pprint literal functions inside nested lists.
(lp#1300716)
* bug fix: more-correctly handle array-type unity (broken for ages, causing
compilation problems since 1.1.13.x due to smarter TYPEP type propagation,
reported by jasom in #lisp).

changes in sbcl-1.1.17 relative to sbcl-1.1.16:
* enhancement: printing backtraces respects
SB-DEBUG:*DEBUG-PRINT-VARIABLE-ALIST* when printing call arguments
(lp#1261646)
* optimization: defstruct out-of-line accessor are now as fast as inlined.
(lp#1264924)
* bug fix: INVOKE-RESTART-INTERACTIVELY no longer refuses to invoke RESTART
instances with a test-function (reported by Vivitron in #sbcl)
* bug fix: STREAM-ERROR-POSITION-INFO fails in fewer situations (lp#1264902)
* bug fix: Change COND error message (lp#1254511)
* bug fix: LOAD is no longer confused when called on a directory.
(lp#1077996)
* bug fix: MAKE-CONDITION reports names of missing condition classes
properly (lp#1199223)
* bug fix: restore building with clang. (lp#1293643)
* bug fix: restore building on SPARC (broken since 1.1.15).
* bug fix: improved FreeBSD support.
* bug fix: PPC floating point conversion corrupted stack.
changes in sbcl-1.1.16 relative to sbcl-1.1.15:
* minor incompatible change: improve read/print consistency for pathnames on
Win32, by using the circumflex character #\^ as the escape character.
(lp#673625)
* enhancement: SB-EXT:DEFINE-LOAD-TIME-GLOBAL. (lp#1253688)
* enhancement: Loading fasls with symbols from an undefined package includes
the name of the symbol in the error message.
* bug fix: problems when redefining classes and doing TYPEP on classes
concurrently. (lp#1272742)
* bug fixes to the x86-64 XCHG instruction:
** it was misencoded when used with RAX, R8-R15 registers. (reported by
Eric Marsden)
** it was misencoded when used to exchange EAX with itself.
** the disassembler wrongly printed XCHG RAX, R8 and the corresponding
32- and 16-bit variations as NOP.
* bug fix: the disassembler outputs source annotations in the right place
and no longer randomly drops some of them. (lp#1249205)
* bug fix: fix commutative-arg-swap from introducing undumpable structures
into code, prevent code with errors from being compiled. (lp#1276282)
* bug fix: pathnames with :back in their directory component are succeffully
resolved.
* bug fix: the deterministic profiler now uses ENCAPSULATE functionality to
wrap functions around. (lp#309086)
changes in sbcl-1.1.15 relative to sbcl-1.1.14:
* new feature: the iterative spilling/coloring register allocator developed
by Alexandra Barchunova during Google Summer of Code 2013 is now merged
in. By default, it only activates for functions that optimize with
(speed 3) and (> speed compilation-speed), but setting
sb-regalloc:*register-allocation-method* to :iterative forces its
execution. The previous behaviour can be obtained by instead setting that
variable to :greedy. Thanks again to Google for their support, and, more
crucially, to Alexandra Barchunova for her hard work.
* optimization: make-array with known element-type and unknown dimensions is
much faster.
* optimization: make-array with unknown element-type is faster as well.
(lp#1004501)
* enhancement: sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die on Windows now accepts
:application-type argument, which can be :console or :gui. :gui allows
having GUI applications without an automatically appearing console window.
* enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms:
conservative roots must be valid-looking tagged pointers or point
within a code object, not merely point to within the allocated part
of a page, in order to pin a page.
* enhancement: support for "Mac Roman" external format.
* enhancement: encapsulation of named generic functions now happens without
altering the identity of the function bound to the name.
* bug fix: Windows applications without the console window no longer misbehave.
(patch by Wilfredo Velazquez, lp#1256034).
* bug fix: modular arithmetic optimizations do not stumble on dead branches
with bad constants. (reported by Douglas Katzman)
* bug fix: CLISP can be used again as a cross-compilation host.
(Thanks to Vasily Postnicov, lp#1261451)
* bug fix: run-program crashed with :directory nil. (lp#1265077)

no longer conses and is faster.
* optimization: RESTART-CASE expands to more compact code.
Thanks to Jan Moringen. (lp#1249055)

undefined-function warnings in subsequent forms. (lp#503095)
* enhancement: Better error messages for system errors on Windows.
* enhancement: run-sbcl.sh is usefully handled by rlwrap. Thanks to William
Cushing. (lp#1249183)

specification (multiple integer arguments) and signals a continuable error
if the current SBCL version is lower (older) than the specification.
(lp#674372)
* enhancement: better ARRAY-RANK result derivation. (lp#1252108)
* bug fix: EQUALP now compares correctly structures with raw slots larger
than a single word.

opened for output with :if-exists :new-version. Thanks to Philip
Munksgaard. (lp#455381)
* bug fix: DEFSTRUCTs with NIL as a slot name no longer cause strange
CLOS-related errors. (lp#633911)
* bug fix: GC deadlocks caused by concurrent consing on Windows.
changes in sbcl-1.1.13 relative to sbcl-1.1.12:
* optimization: better distribution of SXHASH over small conses of related
values. (lp#309443)
* other improvements to SXHASH:
** use the whole of the positive-fixnum range for SXHASH of fixnums
* enhancement: The error message when calling an undefined alien function
includes the name of the function on x86-64.
* enhancement: sb-ext:run-program now supports :environment on Windows.
* enhancement: ASDF is no longer required to load contribs at runtime.
(lp#1132254)

protocol. (lp#309072)
* bug fix: run-sbcl.sh works better in the presence of symlinks on OS X.
(thanks to Stelian Ionescu, lp#1242643)
* bug fix: when given a restart object, FIND-RESTART checks whether the
restart is active and, when a condition is supplied, whether the restart
is associated to a different condition (lp#774410)
changes in sbcl-1.1.12 relative to sbcl-1.1.11:
* enhancement: Add sb-bsd-sockets:socket-shutdown, for calling
shutdown(3). (thanks to Jan Moringen, lp#1207483)

* bug fix: restart clause parsing in RESTART-CASE is more in line with the
standard. (lp#1203585, thanks to Jan Moringen)
* bug fix: silence a note from RESTART-CASE under high-SPEED optimization
settings. (lp#1023721)

Note that contrary to last month's message, the increased type
opacity in the compiler has not been fixed in this release cycle.
changes in sbcl-1.1.11 relative to sbcl-1.1.10:
* enhancement: support building the manual under texinfo version 5.
(lp#1189146)
* enhancement: Windows builds no longer display the "Kitten of Death" message.
A warning is instead appended to the regular banner, and may be muted with
--noinform. (lp#728247)
* enhancement: support building under new linker handling of syscalls under
NetBSD. (thanks to Robert Swindells)
* bug fix: undefined function errors are now properly reported on PPC and MIPS.
(regression since 1.1.9)
* bug fix: (funcall (function X junk)) didn't causes an error when X had a
compiler macro. (thanks to Douglas Katzman).
* bug fix: signal a warning when defining a setf-function when a
setf-expander is already present. (thanks to Douglas Katzman).
* bug fix: improved threading on PPC.
* bug fix: ROOM works again on Windows. (lp#1206456)
* bug fix: Streams were flushed even when there was one byte still left in
the buffer. (lp#910213)
* bug fix: OPEN handles correctly when :if-exists and :if-does-not-exist are
either NIL or :ERROR. (reported by Jan Moringen)
As well as the release notes, appended below, it is worth noting
that some internal changes related to the optimization of type
tests for bounded positive integers might cause performance
regressions in code that dispatches based on the type of objects,
as in for example
(typecase x
((unsigned-byte 24) ...[1])
(t ...))
where in the region of code marked ...[1] the compiler could be expected
to infer that x was of type (unsigned-byte 24), but currently fails to
do so. This can be worked around by inserting an explicit declaration,
and the developers hope to address this in the next release cycle.
changes in sbcl-1.1.10 relative to sbcl-1.1.9:
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 3.0.2.
* optimization: stack frames are packed more efficiently on x86oids, which
ought to reduce the frequency of Methuselahn conservative references (it
certainly helps with gc.impure.lisp / BUG-936304 on x86).
* optimization: on x86 and x86-64, integer negation forms like (- x) are now
recognized in modular arithmetic contexts, and compile to native negate,
rather than going through bignums only to keep the low bits.
* bug fix: Compiling potential modularic arithmetic forms does not cause type
errors when some integer types lack lower or upper bounds. (lp#1199127)
* bug fix: Non-trivial modular arithmetic forms are always cut to the right
bitwidth before being used in a non-modular context. (lp#1199428)
* bug fix: Multiple catch/unwind blocks in a single function are now
allocated in the right stack order on win32. (lp#1072739)
changes in sbcl-1.1.9 relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
* new feature: the contrib SB-GMP links with libgmp at runtime to speed
up arithmetic on bignums and ratios. (contributed by Stephan Frank)
* enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
functions, like LENGTH.
* enhancement: clean.sh now also cleans doc/internals.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-SYMBOL-WITH-PREFIX can be used within ~// to
print a symbol with a package prefix.
* enhancement: The debugger and backtracing are more robust against buggy
PRINT-OBJECT methods.
* optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
* optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
* optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
an indirect fdefn structure.
* optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
* optimization: (mod fixnum) type-checks are performed using one unsigned
comparison, instead of two.
* optimization: enable more modular arithmetic transforms in the presence of
conditionals.
* optimization: bitwise OR forms can now trigger modular arithmetic as well,
when the result is known to be negative.
* optimization: recognize more cases of useless LOGAND/LOGIOR with constants.
* optimization: comparisons between rationals and constant floats or between
integers and constant ratios are now converted to rationals/integers at
compile time.
* optimization: Smaller and faster DOUBLE-FLOAT-LOW-BITS on x86-64.
* bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
* bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
types. (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
* bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
* bug fix: uninitialized type-error conditions can now be printed.
(lp#1184586)
* bug fix: tests for sb-bsd-sockets no longer use a predefined port for
listening, allowing several tests to run in parallel.
* bug fix: during disassembly to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* instruction
prefixes as used on x86 and x86-64 no longer sometimes print incorrectly.
(lp#1085729)
* bug fix: Specialised SIMD-PACK types can be negated.
* bug fix: Modular arithmetic is more robust. (incidentally fixes another bug
reported by Eric Marsden)
* bug fix: FP return values from foreign calls are always rounded to single
or double float precision on x87.
* bug fix: Known-safe vector access on x86oids should not fail spuriously
when the index is of the form (+ x constant-positive-integer).
* bug fix: Remove GPL-licensed files from source distribution. (lp#1185668)
* bug fix: backtrace printer no longer tries to create very large lists when
the arg-count register is clobberred by other code. (lp#1192929)
* bug fix: x86 should never signal an FP exception while boxing an FP value,
a situation that lands us into ldb.

changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
* notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.
* new feature: minimal runtime/compiler intrastructure support for SSE
SIMD values, as SB-EXT:SIMD-PACK. Enabled on x86-64 via the build-time
feature :sb-simd-pack. This should enable intrinsics extensions as
libraries, without patching SBCL itself. Thanks to Alexander Gavrilov
for maintaining a branch for so long.
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
the working directory of the spawned process.
(lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
* enhancement: boxed vectors (vectors of T or of FIXNUM) can now be
stack-allocated on PPC.
* enhancement: "fixed objects" can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
* enhancement: WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS no longer conses on PPC/GENCGC.
* enhancement: (sb-introspect:find-definition-sources-by-name x :vop) now
also returns VOPs which do not translate any functions, and finds
defoptimizer types ir2convert and stack-allocate-result.
* enhancement: better type derivation for APPEND, NCONC, LIST.
(lp#538957)
* enhancement: MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of ROOM) now walks the
heap in a manner similar to the GC rather than its previous ad-hoc
scheme, and is therefore no less and possibly more accurate.
* fixes and enhancements related to Unicode:
** the character database information has been updated to Unicode 6.2;
** support for canonical and compatibility decomposition of characters has
been added, along with support for primary composition;
** support for Unicode normalization forms of strings (NFC, NFKC, NFD and
NFKD) has been included;
** querying the character database for code points not defined by Unicode
gives less wrong answers (lp#1178038, reported by Ken Harris)
* enhancement: print intermediate evaluation results for some ASSERTed
expressions. (lp#789497) (patch by Alexandra Barchunova)
* enhancement: x86-64 disassemblies are annotated with unboxed constant
values when there are references to (RIP-relative) unboxed constants.
* bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
(lp#1096444)
* bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
* bug fix: Loading a core with a discontiguous dynamic space now correctly
computes the amount of dynamic space used.
* bug fix: disassembler missing ",8" on SHLD
* bug fix: backtracing through INTERNAL-ERROR signal handlers on systems
that provide an "invalid" stack frame link for the signal handler
itself now use the saved-fp-and-pc mechanism to pick up from the stack
frame in the interrupt (signal) context. This is known to affect
threaded FreeBSD/x86-64.
* bug fix: some LOOP statements couldn't be compiled.
(lp#1178989)
* bug fix: sb-sequence:dosequence works on literal vectors.
* bug fix: errors in generic arithmetic show the assembly routine's
caller on x86 and x86-64. (lp#800343)
* bug fix: Compile-time type errors should never result in COMPILE-FILE
failure. (lp#943953)
* bug fix: Known bad local calls do not cause strange failures when
emitting or dumping code. (lp#504121)
* bug fix: Multiply-inlined structure constructor don't cause IR2-time
codegen errors: type checks are inserted as necessary. (lp#1177703)
* bug fix: Unsigned modular arithmetic is correctly converted into signed
modular arithemtic (mostly to exploit fixnum-width VOPs). (lp#1026634)
* bug fix: a combination of inlined local function with &optional and
recursion no longer causes undescriptive compiler errors. (lp#1180992)
* bug fix: sub-word BOOLEAN alien types now disregard higher order bits
when testing for non-zero-ness.
* bug fix: (CONCATENATE 'null ...) no longer fails for generic sequences.
(lp#1162301)
* bug fix: Type mismatch for the value of conditional expressions are
correctly reported when detected at compile-time, instead of complaining
about a constant NIL (similar for non-EQ-comparable catch tags).
* bug fix: Referring to INLINE global functions as values should not result
in a compilation failure. (lp#1035721)
* optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
* optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
* optimization: On x86-64, the number of multi-byte NOP instructions used
for code alignment is now always minimal.
* optimization: On 64-bit targets, the compiler generates much faster
code for type checks for types known at compile time that are smaller
than (SIGNED-BYTE 64) or (UNSIGNED-BYTE 64) and larger than FIXNUM, and
their COMPLEX variants.
* optimization: On x86 targets, more uses of ALIEN-FUNCALL during cross
compilation now inline the INVOKE-WITH-SAVED-FP-AND-PC dance.
* optimization: ROOM no longer conses so egregiously on non-x86oid
systems.
* optimization: associative bitwise operations reassociate patterns like
(f (f x k1) k2) to expose (f x (f k1 k2)). Same for + and * of
rational values.
* optimization: quasiquote expressions now perform more constant folding,
instead of consing equal lists at runtime. (lp#1026439)
* optimization: local call analysis of inlined higher-order function
should converge more quickly, resulting in better code for complex
functions.
* optimization: On x86-64, medium (word-sized but wider than 32 bits)
integer constants are handled more cleverly, especially when they
can be represented as sign-extended (signed-byte 32). (Based on a
patch by Douglas Katzman)
* optimization: IF/IF conversion should reliably result in sane code
when (some of) the results of the inner IF are always false or
always true.
* optimization: On x86oids, variable right shifts of machine words are
compiled into straight SAR/SHR, instead of going through the generic
VOP. (lp#1066204)
changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
* enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
(lp#457053)
* bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
(lp#1049404)
* bug fix: redefining conditions does not lead to multiple evaluations of
hairy slot initfunctions anymore (lp#1164969)
* bug fix: CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS now works for condition classes
(lp#1164970)
* bug fix: function constants now work as initforms and default initarg
values of conditions (lp#539517)
* bug fix: svref/(setf svref) on symbol macros don't crash the compiler
anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
* bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
* bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function)
"doc"). Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation
of NIL for all other documentation types. (Reported by Zach
Beane; regression since 2e52fa05.)
* bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination. (Reported by
Eric Marsden).
* bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
* optimization: LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.
changes in sbcl-1.1.6 relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
* enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant
fndb entries can be ignored by passing :overwrite-fndb-silently t
as a keyword argument to sb-c:defknown (after attributes). Useful
to allow defknown to be re-loaded. Use with :allow-other-keys t
for backward compatibility.
* optimization: compiler is much faster in compiling SVREF and (SETF SVREF)
forms.
* bug fix: Prevent a make-array transform from modifying source forms
causing problems for inlined code. Thanks to Bart Botta.
(regression since 1.0.42.11-bis)
* bug fix: clear-output calls the correct gray stream routine,
sb-gray:stream-clear-output. (lp#1153257)
* bug fix: an error is signalled for an invalid format modifier: ~<~@>.
(lp#1153148)
* bug fix: Better error messages for package operations (lp#1154776)
* bug fix: delete-package on a nonexistent package should signal a cerror.
(regression since 1.0.37.44).
* bug fix: accessing &MORE (stack allocated &REST) arguments checks bounds.
(lp#1154946, lp#1072112)
* bug fix: compiling make-array no longer signals an error when the
element-type is an uknown type, a warning is issued instead.
Thanks to James Kalenius (lp#1156095)
* bug fix: SEARCH on generic (non-VECTOR non-LIST) sequence types no longer
produces wrong results for some inputs. (Thanks to Jan Moringen.)
(lp#1153312)
changes in sbcl-1.1.5 relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
* minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING no longer loops
by default.
* new feature: package local nicknames. See manual for details.

resulting from IMPORT, EXPORT, or USE-PACKAGE.
* enhancement: variant DEFPACKAGE forms now signal a full error with
restarts provided for resolving the situation. (lp#891351)
* enhancement: by setting SB-EXT:*ON-PACKAGE-VARIANCE* appropriately variant
DEFPACKAGE forms can now signal a full error with restarts provided for
resolving the situation. See manual for details. (lp#891351)

(Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.) (lp#1102748)
* enhancement: backtrace improvements
** secondary CLOS dispatch functions have better debug names (lp#503081)
** easier to read method names in backtraces. See
SB-DEBUG:*METHOD-FRAME-STYLE*.

forwards-compatible replacements for SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE and
SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST.
** SB-DEBUG:*SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS** has been deprecated, as the same
information is available in less intrusive form as frame annotations.
* enhancement: SB-POSIX now provides MAP-ANON.
* enhancement: test-suite results are colorized, failures in red, unexpected
success in green. Works on Windows and on terminals with ANSI escape code
support. Can be disabled with --no-color.
* optimization: SB-CONCURRENCY:QUEUE implementation is more efficient.
(thanks to James M. Lawrence)
* bug fix: no more unused variable style warnings from RESTART-CASE
macroexpansion (lp#1113859)
* bug fix: no more unused variable style warnings when loading
sb-bsd-sockets.asd (lp#1114681)
* bug fix: deleting a package removes it from implementation-package
lists of other packages.
* bug fix: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING is now usable in the Slime REPL on Darwin.
This does not fix the occasional "interrupt already pending" issue, though.
* bug fix: (setf (documentation 'x 'function)) and
(setf (documentation #'x t)) set documentation in different places.
(regression since 1.0.43.63)
* bug fix: build on newer glibc. (lp#1095036)
changes in sbcl-1.1.4 relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
* optimization: LOOP expressions using "of-type character" have slightly
more efficient expansions.

in very long compile times or heap exhaustion anymore. (lp#1095488)
* bug fix: `#3(1) is read as #(1 1 1), not as #(1). (lp#1095918)
* bug fix: adjust-array ignored :initial-element for simple-vectors.
(lp#1096359)
* bug fix: optimizations to MAKE-INSTANCE with literal list initargs no
longer cause infinite loops (on circular data) or violate eqlity
constraints. (lp#1099708)
* bug fix: FIRST was not being open coded. (regression from 1.1.0)
changes in sbcl-1.1.3 relative to sbcl-1.1.2:
* enhancement: warnings about bad locale settings, LANG, LC_CTYPE, etc.
(lp#727625)
* enhancement: support for C-c to interrupt the foreground thread
on Windows. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: STDCALL alien callbacks. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: Safepoint builds on POSIX platforms can now optionally be
built without pseudo-atomic sequences and their run-time overhead.

alien callbacks and appear as Lisp threads for the duration of that
function invocation. On safepoint builds only.
* enhancement: Miscellaneous improvements to namestrings and underlying
calls to OS functions for file system access on Windows. (Thanks to
Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: The MSI installer support for Windows now uses Windows
Installer XML at least version 3.5 and includes various usability
improvements. (Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.)

changes in sbcl-1.1.2 relative to sbcl-1.1.1:
* notice: System requirements for SBCL on Microsoft Windows: Windows NT 5.1
or newer (Windows XP, Server 2003) is required. Support for Windows 2000
(NT 5.0) is no longer being maintained.
* notice: Starting with this version, SBCL on Windows no longer supports
building with disabled thread support.
* enhancement: frlocks have been added to SB-CONCURRENCY contrib module.
* enhancement: New feature sb-dynamic-core allows the runtime to be
rebuilt or relocated without requiring changes to the core file on
all linkage table platforms. Required on Windows. (Thanks to Anton
Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: Console I/O streams use UCS-2. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: I/O on Windows unnamed pipes is interruptible
asynchronously using interrupt-thread, timers when running on Windows NT
version 6.1 or newer (Windows 7, Server 2008 R2). (Thanks to Anton
Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: Support for the experimental safepoint-based stop-the-world
protocol on the PowerPC platform.
* bug fix: Non-blocking reads from the Windows console were not necessarily
non-blocking. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko. (lp#308923)
* bug fix: stability of threads on Windows has been improved upon through
an updated stop-the-world protocol (thanks to Anton Kovalenko).

changes in sbcl-1.1.1 relative to sbcl-1.1.0:
* enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT no longer grabs the world-lock.
(COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE still do.)
* optimization: the SPARC backend now supports the precise generational
(GENCGC) garbage collection. Enabled by default on Solaris/SPARC and
Linux/SPARC. Thanks to Raymond Toy (via CMUCL).
* enhancement: add experimental support for the SB-THREAD feature and the
timer facility on Windows. Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.
Threads are enabled by default, and this version of SBCL is considered
to be the last and final release to officially support building with
threads disabled.
* optimization: The compiler no longer rotates loops in some cases where
this transformation actually lead to worse code being generated.
* bug fix: SB-CLTL2:MACROEXPAND-ALL correctly handles shadowing of
symbol-macros by lexical bindings.
* bug fix: stack allocation was prevented by high DEBUG declaration in
several cases.
* bug fix: SB-EXT:GC-LOGFILE signaled an error when no logfile was set.
(thanks to SANO Masatoshi)
* bug fix: PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING performed non-native parsing when
:JUNK-ALLOWED was true.
* bug fix: type derivation inferred overly conservative types for
unions of array types. (lp#1050768)

pkgsrc changes:
* "user-destdir" is default these days, remove setting.
Changes in sbcl-1.1.0 relative to sbcl-1.0.58:
* enhancement: New variable, sb-ext:*disassemble-annotate* for controlling
source annotation of DISASSEMBLE output. Defaults to T.
* enhancement: TIMEOUT arguments added to WITH-MUTEX and WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK, and
WAIT-P argument added to WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-PUSH and SB-EXT:ATOMIC-POP allow atomic operations
on list heads.
* enhancement: Optional features (not enabled by default) allow the
use of signals for inter-thread synchronization to be reduced on certain
supported platforms (currently Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD on x86 and
x86-64). Set (and :sb-thread :sb-safepoint :sb-thruption :sb-wtimer)
to test these experimental features. Known remaining bugs include minor
thread safety issues, less timely freeing of memory by GC, and certain
(not yet optimally low) runtime overhead. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.
* optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT of lists are faster and use fewer
comparisons, particularly on almost-sorted inputs.
* bug fix: Reading floats with large exponents no longer takes too much time
before reporting that the exponent is too large.
* bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:SOCKET-RECEIVE with a UDP socket now works
correctly when the received datagram is larger than the provided buffer.
(lp#1023438, thanks to Robert Uhl)
* bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION returned a bogus read-form when given
a SYMBOL-VALUE form with a constant symbol argument.
* bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION signaled an error when a macro expanding
into a DEFCAS defined place was used as the place.
* bug fix: FIND and POSITION signaled a type-error when non-bits where looked
for from bit-vectors.
* bug fix: a race condition around thread creation could (in SBCL 1.0.57)
lead to internal errors or crashes (lp#1058799).
* documentation: a section on random number generation has been added to the
manual. (lp#656839)

Changes in sbcl-1.0.58 relative to sbcl-1.0.57:
* enhancement: implicit generic function warnings now specify the package
in which the new generic function is being created.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-UPDATE makes it easy to perform non-destructive
updates of CAS-able places (similar to Clojure's swap!).
* enhancement: run-program no longer decodes and re-encodes environment when
:environment argument is not provided. (lp#985904)
* enhancement: errors during compiler-macro expansion no longer cause
runtime errors, only a compile-time warning, otherwise behaving as if
the compiler macro had declined to expand.
* optimization: On x86-64, code alignment of block headers is done with
multi-byte NOPs now instead of repetitions of the single-byte NOP.
* optimization: MAP-INTO is substantially faster when the target sequence is
of unknown type; mapping into lists is no longer O(N^2). (thanks to James
M. Lawrence)
* optimization: the compiler no longer heap-conses to check exits in cases
where the exit function is dynamic extent, or when it can prove the exit
function cannot escape.
* optimization: SB-SEQUENCE:DOSEQUENCE is faster on vectors of unknown
element type, and vectors that aren't SIMPLE-ARRAYs.
* optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT are more efficient in execution
speed (around 1/3 the time in some cases), and a little better in terms of
comparison calls. (Thanks to Takeru Ohta)
* bug fix: On SPARC, a limitation on the number of code constants emittable
by the compiler has been lifted, allowing certain long functions to
compiled and assembled which had previously been unsupported; fixes
cl-bench on this ISA (lp#1008996).
* bug fix: potential for infinite recursion during compilation of CLOS slot
typechecks when dependency graph had loops. (lp#1001799)
* bug fix: error forms reported with some program-errors were not escaped
properly.
* bug fix: functions from EVAL are now on more equal footing with functions
from COMPILE. (lp#1000783, lp#851170, lp#922408)
* bug fix: ENSURE-GENERIC-METHOD-COMBINATION accepts method combination
objects as its :METHOD-COMBINATION argument, not just lists designating
method combinations. (lp#936513)
* bug fix: run-program no longer unconditionally uses /tmp/ for temporary
files. (lp#968837).
* bug fix: restore build on solaris/sparc. (lp#1008506)
* bug fix: an issue with LDB in the PowerPC backend has been resolved;
this fixes an issue found with cl-postgres (thanks to Tomas Hlavaty).
* bug fix: compiler-macro lambda-lists specifying non-keyword symbols
as keyword arguments no longer accidentally match unevaluated symbols
against them.
* bug fix: FORMAT used to loop infinitely in some cases when a COLINC
parameter was zero, now it signals an error. (lp#905817, fixed since
1.0.56.19)
* bug fix: run-program with :pty t no longer makes the pty as the process's
controling terminal.

changes in sbcl-1.0.57 relative to sbcl-1.0.56:
* RANDOM enhancements and bug fixes:
** bug fix: the range and distribution of random integers could be
catastrophically wrong when the compiler derived the type of its
argument as a disjoint set of small integers.
** bug fix: the distribution of random integers is now completely
uniform even when the specified limit is not a power of two.
(Previously some values could be about 0.1 % more probable than
others in the worst case.)
** RANDOM on large integer arguments is generally faster and conses
less than before; this is visible for fixnums above a length of
about 24 bits, but extremely so for bignums: the old implementation
used time and space quadratical in the size of the argument there,
the new one is linear.
* enhancement: redesigned protocol for quitting SBCL. SB-EXT:EXIT is the new
main entry point, SB-EXT:QUIT is deprecated.
* enhancement: additions to the SB-THREAD API: RETURN-FROM-THREAD,
ABORT-THREAD, MAIN-THREAD-P, and MAIN-THREAD.
* enhancement: FASL loading no longer grabs the world-lock.
* enhancement: GENCGC reclaims space more aggressively when objects being
allocated are a large fraction of the total available heap space.
(lp#936304)
* enhancement: backtraces show the correct number of arguments for frames
called with too many arguments.
* enhancement: support for abort(3), exit(3), and _exit(2) has been added to
SB-POSIX.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated 2.21.
* optimization: fewer uses of full calls to signed modular functions.
(lp#903821)
* optimization: typechecking alien values is typically 5 x faster.
* optimization: FDEFINITION, SYMBOL-FUNCTION, MACRO-FUNCTION, and FBOUNDP
are 20% faster.
* bug fix: file compilation performance issues when dumping subtypes
of CHARACTER (lp#994487)
* bug fix: fixed disassembly of some SSE instructions on x86-64.
* bug fix: SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS signals an error for bogus :CLASS arguments in
OPEN. (lp#969352, thanks to Kambiz Darabi)
* bug fix: CASE normal-clauses do not allow T and OTHERWISE as keys.
(lp#959687)
* bug fix: (SETF (FIND-CLASS X) NIL) removed proper name of the underlying
classoid even if X was not the proper name of the class. (lp#941102)
* bug fix: declaration leakage between lexical environments due to careless
use of NCONC in MAKE-LEXENV. (lp#924276)
* bug fix: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST now works when
*default-pathname-defaults* contains NAME or TYPE components.
* bug fix: PPRINT couldn't print improper lists with CARs being some symbols
from CL package, e.g. (loop . 10).
* bug fix: run-program with existent or non-existent files for :output or
:input when :if-output-exists or :if-input-does-not-exist are NIL properly
returns NIL instead of signalling an obscure error.
* bug fix: fix miscompilation of some logand forms with large constant
arguments. (lp#974406)
* bug fix: account for funcallable-instance objects properly in ROOM.
* bug fix: incorrect octets reported for c-string decoding errors.
(lp#985505)
* bug fix: miscompilation of LDB on the PowerPC platform. (thanks to Bruce
O'Neel)
* bug fix: better input error reporting for COMPILE-FILE. (lp#493380)
* bug fix: default size of non-nursery generations has been shrunk on GENCGC,
allowing faster release of memory back to the OS. (lp#991293)
* bug fix: WITH-DEADLINE (:SECONDS NIL :OVERRIDE T) now drops any
existing deadline for the dynamic scope of its body.
* bug fix: compiler-internal interval arithmetic needed to be more
conservative about open intervals when operated on by monotonic but not
strictly-monotonic functions. (lp#975528)
* bug fix: copy-tree caused stack exhaustion on long linear lists, and now
it's also slightly faster. (lp#998926)
* bug fix: better error messages for malformed declarations.
(lp#1000239)
* bug fix: define-condition didn't return the name of the defined condition.
* documentation:
** improved docstrings: REPLACE (lp#965592)
|
|
New in version 1.0.56
* bug fix: fix copy-structure. When copying from stack to heap,
garbage could end up in the heap making GC unhappy.
(Thanks to James Knight, #911027)
* enhancements
+ SBCL can now be built using Clang.
+ ASDF has been updated 2.20.
* bug fix: compiler errors when weakening hairy integer types. (#913232)
* bug fix: don't complain about a too-hairy lexical environment
for inlining when the function has never been requested for inlining.
(#963530)
|
|
New in version 1.0.55
* enhancements to building SBCL using make.sh:
+ --fancy can be specified to enable all supported feature
enhancements.
+ --with-<feature> and --without-<feature> can be used to
specify which features to build with.
+ --arch option can be used to specify the architecture to
build for. (Mainly useful for building 32-bit SBCL's on
x86-64 hosts, not full-blows cross-compilation.)
* enhancement: extended package prefix syntax
<pkgname>::<form-in-package> which allows specifying name
of the default interning package for the whole form.
* enhancement: when *READ-EVAL* is true, arrays with element
type other than T can be printed readably using #.-based
syntax. (Thanks to Robert Brown)
* enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN signals a storage-condition instead
of returning a null alien when malloc() fails. (#891268)
* enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-UNREADABLY restart for
PRINT-NOT-READABLE conditions can be conveniently accessed
through function with the same name, analogously to CONTINUE.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:*SUPPRESS-PRINT-ERRORS* can be used to
suppress errors from the printer by type, causing an error
marker to be printed instead. (Thanks to Attila Lendvai)
* enhancement: BACKTRACE and DESCRIBE now bind *PRINT-CIRCLE*
to T, and generally behave better when errors occur during
printing.
* enhancement: the test runner now takes a --report-skipped-tests
argument to report the individual tests skipped as well as the
number of skipped tests.
* enhancement: undefined functions now appear in backtraces as
("undefined function") instead of ("bogus stack frame") on
x86oids.
* enhancement: detected deadlocks no longer cause stderr to be
spammed, and deadlock errors are reported in an easier-to-decipher
manner.
* enhancement: DESCRIBE on type designators reports the
expansion in more cases.
* enhancement: SBCL now provides either an explicit :BIG-ENDIAN
or :LITTLE-ENDIAN in *FEATURES*, instead of :BIG-ENDIAN being
implied by lack of the :LITTLE-ENDIAN feature. (Thanks to
Luis Oliveira, #901661)
* enhancement: better disassembly of segment-prefixes on x86
and other instruction prefixes (e.g. LOCK) on x86 and x86-64.
* optimization: FIND and POSITION on bit-vectors are orders of
magnitude faster (assuming KEY and TEST are not used, or are
sufficiently trivial.)
* optimization: SUBSEQ on vectors of unknown element type is
substantially faster. (#902537)
* optimization: specialized arrays with non-zero :INITIAL-ELEMENT
can be stack-allocated. (#902351)
* optimization: the compiler is smarter about representation
selection for floating point constants used in full calls.
* optimization: the compiler no longer refuses to coerce large
fixnums to single floats inline, except on x86 where this
limitation is still necessary.
* bug fix: deadlock detection could report the same deadlock
twice, for two different threads. Now a single deadlock is
reported exactly once.
* bug fix: interval-arithmetic division during type derivation
did not account for signed zeros.
* bug fix: compiler error when typechecking a call to a
function with non-constant keyword arguments.
* bug fix: misoptimization of TRUNCATE causing erratic behaviour.
* bug fix: condition slot accessors no longer cause undefined
function style-warnings when used in the :REPORT clause of
the DEFINE-CONDITION form that defines them. (#896379)
* bug fix: DEFGENERIC warns about unsupported declarations, as
specified by ANSI. (#894202)
* bug fix: SUBTYPEP tests involving forward-referenced classes
no longer bogusly report NIL, T.
* bug fix: bogus style-warnings for DEFMETHOD forms that both
declared some required arguments ignored and performed
assignments to others. (#898331)
* bug fix: *EVALUATOR-MODE* :COMPILE treated (LET () ...)
identically to (LOCALLY ...) leading to internally
inconsistent toplevel-formness.
* bug fix: non-toplevel DEFSTRUCT signaled a style warning for
unknown type.
* bug fix: redefining a function whose previous definition
contained an unknown type no longer causes a style-warning. (#806243)
* bug fix: undefined functions now appear in backtraces as
("undefined function") instead of ("bogus stack frame") on non-x86oids.
* bug fix: backtraces are no longer cut off at ("undefined
function") when called under certain circumstances (involving a
caller-allocated stack frame) on PPC.
* bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM leaked a file-descriptor per call on
non-Windows systems. (regression since 1.0.53)
* bug fix: GC deadlocks from dladdr() on certain platforms.
* bug fix: broken standard streams no longer automatically
cause recursive errors on debugger entry.
* bug fix: build ignored --dynamic-space-size=<size> argument
to make.sh (regression since 1.0.53)

function with an external entry point caused compiler-errors.
* bug fix: compiler notes for failed stack allocation for a
function argument no longer claim to be unable to stack
allocate the function.
* bug fix: COERCE now signals a type-error on several
coercions to subtypes of CHARACTER that are forbidden
according to ANSI. (#841312)
* bug fix: missing failure-to-stack-allocate compiler notes
for some forms of MAKE-ARRAY with dynamic-extent. (#902351)
* bug fix: some of the compile-time side-effects of DEFCLASS
were not caught by package locks.

changes in sbcl-1.0.54 relative to sbcl-1.0.53:
* minor incompatible changes:
** RENAME-FILE on a symbolic links used to rename the linked-to file
instead of the link.
** DELETE-DIRECTORY on symbolic link to a directory used to delete the
directory, but now signal an error instead. Use TRUENAME to resolve the
pathname if you wish to delete the linked directory, and DELETE-FILE if
you wish to delete the
** The internal SB-THREAD::SPINLOCK API has been deprecated, and using
symbols associated with it will trigger a compile-time warning.
* thread-related enhancements:
(This work has been funded by the SBCL Threading 2011 IndieGoGo campaign.
Many thanks to generous donors!)
** Threading is now more reliable on non-Linux platforms. We still don't
consider threads on non-Linux platforms good enough to enable them by
default, but they're in a clearly better shape now.
** Deadlines supported now on all platforms.
** All blocking functions in the threading API now have a :TIMEOUT
argument.
** Semaphore notification objects have been added to SB-THREAD.
** SB-CONCURRENCY contrib now includes Allegro-style GATE objects.
** SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP has been extended to support SLOT-VALUE,
STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS, and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS.
** Users can now defined new places usable with SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP
using an API anologous to defining new SETFable places.
* GC-related enhancements and bug fixes:
** --dynamic-space-size and --control-stack-size now understand Kb, Mb,
and Gb suffixes. Default is megabytes as before.
** on GENCGC targets, the default dynamic space size is now 512Mb for
32-bit systems, and 1Gb for 64-bit systems. (OpenBSD/x86-64 is the only
exception, defaulting to mere 444Mb to fit under default ulimits.) The
new defaults are in place to prevent hitting swap on low-end systems.
Use build-time option --dynamic-space-size to build an SBCL with
another default, or the runtime option to adjust the size at startup: a
good size is at most equal to the amount of physical memory the system
has.
** on GENCGC targets, nursery and generation sizes now default to 5% of
dynamic-space size.
** on GENCGC targets, SB-KERNEL:MAKE-LISP-OBJ no longer categorically
refuses to create SIMPLE-FUN objects.
** on 64-bit GENCGC targets, setting the nursery size above 4Gb now works.
(lp#870868)
** on CHENEYGC targets, SB-KERNEL:MAKE-LISP-OBJ now does the same
validation of pointer objects as GENCGC does, instead of a
comparatively weak bounds-check against the heap spaces.
* SB-BSD-SOCKETS bug fixes:
** GET-PROTOCOL-BY-NAME had a significant memory leak.
** GET-HOST-BY-NAME and GET-HOST-BY-ADDRESS small amounts of memory on
systems with getaddrinfo().
** GET-HOST-BY-NAME and GET-HOST-BY-ADDRESS weren't thread or interrupt
safe outside systems with getaddrinfo().
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated 2.019.
* enhancement: special-case TCO prevention for functions which never return
extended to untrusted types, keeping one more frame's worth of debug
information around in many cases.
* enhancement: debug-names of anonymous and local function are more
descriptive. Affects backtraces and SB-SPROF results. (lp#805100)

resolved to directories.
* bug fix: type mismatch when assigning to lexical variables no longer
result in fasl-dumping internal type objects. (lp#890750)
* bug fix: type mismatch on (SETF AREF) and function return values no
longer result in fasl-dumping internal type objects.
* bug fix: With several combinations of argument types, for example (EXPT
<integer> <(complex double)>), EXPT now uses double-precision throughout
instead of partially calculating only to single-precision. (lp#741564;
thanks to Lutz Euler)
* bug fix: SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD is no longer able to construct bogus
objects when interrupted by GC on PPC.

changes in sbcl-1.0.53 relative to sbcl-1.0.52:
* enhancement: on 64-bit targets, in src/compiler/generic/early-vm.lisp,
the parameter n-fixnum-tag-bits may now vary from 1 (fixnum =
(signed-byte 63)) to 3 (fixnum = (signed-byte 61)) at build-time.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:WAIT-FOR allows waiting for arbitrary events.

for complext setf-expanders.
* bug fix: PUSH, PUSHNEW, POP, REMF, INCF, DECF, DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO,
GETF, LOGBITP, LDB, and MASK-FIELD now arrange for non-primary values
of multiple-valued places to be set to NIL, instead of signalling an
error (per a careful reading of CLHS 5.1.2.3).
* bug fix: floating-point traps now work on darwin/x86 and /x86-64.
* bug fix: repair crash in x86oid darwin signal handling emulation
when built with certain compilers.
* bug fix: SB-ROTATE-BYTE misrotated to the right when using constant
rotation arguments on x86-64. (lp#882151)
* bug fix: low-level control flow optimisations could result in bogus
code in functions with tail and non-tail calls to local functions on

to emit literal characters > (code-char 4095), for comparisons with
constant characters.

* enhancement: --[no-]merge-core-pages determines whether the runtime
hints the operating system that identical core pages between SBCL
processes should share the same physical memory. Default is to only
enable this for compressed cores.

functions with both optional and key argments.
* bug fix: regalloc doesn't barf on unused TNs due to type-directed constant
folding. (lp#729765)

changes in sbcl-1.0.49 relative to sbcl-1.0.48:
* minor incompatible change: WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE no longer disables
interrupts for its body.
* enhancement: source locations are now available for files loaded as
source, compile-time-too evaluation, and initialization files.

virtual source-file information, eg. overriding input-file of COMPILE-FILE
when a temporary file is used for compilation.

* enhancement: backtraces involving frames from the default evaluator are
more readable.

* enhancement: SB-POSIX improvements:
** WNOHANG and WUNTRACED are exported.
** SYSCALL-ERROR now also provides the name of the failing system call.
* enhancement: --script improvements:
** errors on standard input, output, and error streams are handled and
cause scripts to exit silently, making them easier to use in shell
pipelines.
** backtraces from scripts now go to standard error instead of the
terminal even if one is available.
** --script can be an argument, causing the script to be loaded from
standard input.
* enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN-STRING provides an easy way to transport lisp
strings to foreign memory.
* enhancement: (SETF GC-LOGFILE) allows logging garbage collections to
a file, making it easier to understand heap dynamics.

allows the compiler to automatically elide rest-list allocation so long as
the call sites are in functions that the compiler knows cannot escape.
(lp#504575)
* optimization: CALL-NEXT-METHOD using explicit arguments is faster,
especially in safe code when none of the required arguments have changed
their identities.
* bug fix: blocking reads from FIFOs created by RUN-PROGRAM were
uninterruptible, as well as blocking reads from socket streams created
with for which :SERVE-EVENTS NIL. (regression from 1.0.42.43)
* bug fix: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR now removes dispatch-macro character syntax
from the to-char if the from-char is not a dispatch-macro character.
* bug fix: references to undefined variables in function calls that are
optimized away now signal a runtime error. (lp#722734)

* bug fix: forms such as (FUNCALL (FUNCTION NAME OOPS) ...) were compiled
without complaints.
* bug fix: less verbose source forms for functions from EVAL. (lp#747485)
* bug fix: sense of SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS was inverted in a MAKE-INSTANCE
optimization. (regression from 1.0.45.18/1.0.46.15)
* bug fix: package locks did not protects against compile-time side-effects
of DEFUN. (lp#675584)
* bug fix: --dynamic-space-size argument is validated more carefully.
(lp#721457)
* bug fix: memory fault from printing a malformed simple-condition.
(lp#705690)
* bug fix: redefining classes so that slot-definition classes change now
engages the obsolete instance protocol. (lp#766271)
* bug fix: constant improper lists could break source coverage recording.
(lp#767959)
* bug fix: compiling calls to eg. MEMBER with massive constant list arguments
could exhaust stack.

* enhancement: (FORMAT "foo" ...) and similar signal a compile-time warning. (lp#327223)
* enhancement: no more "in: LAMBDA NIL" messages from the compiler for forms
processed using EVAL -- now the appropriate toplevel form is reported instead.

declarations. (lp#726331)
* enhancement: :NOT-NULL option has been added to alien C-STRING type to indicate
that NIL/NULL is excluded from the type.
* enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:MAP-ROOT allows mapping over pointers contained in
arbitrary objects.
* optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are faster in the presence of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS
and its compatriots.
* optimization: core startup time is reduced by 30% on x86-64. (lp#557357)
* bug fix: SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST guards against potentially leaking
stack-allocated values out of their dynamic-extent. (lp#310175)
* bug fix: attempts to use SB-SPROF for wallclock profiling on threaded
x86-64 builds caused a type-error.
* bug fix: calling COMPILE with something else than a lambda-expression as the
second argument reports a more sensible error. (lp#718905)
* bug fix: invalid combinations of :PREDICATE and :TYPE options in DEFSTRUCT
are detected. (lp#520607)
* bug fix: constant keyword argument checking didn't take :ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS
into account.
* bug fix: SLOT-BOUNDP information is correct during MAKE-INSTANCE in the
presence of (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS) and SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS
methods. (regression from 1.0.45.18)
* bug fix: INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods supplying initargs via
CALL-NEXT-METHOD work correctly. (regression from 1.0.45.19)
* bug fix: several foreign functions accepting string also accepted NIL and
consequently caused a memory fault at 0 now signal a type-error instead.
(lp#721087)
* bug fix: under rare circumstances, constraint propagation could rewrite a
variable reference to refer to a variable not in scope, causing an error
during physical environment analysis when attempting to close over the
variable. (lp#551227)
* bug fix: SIMPLE-CONDITION :FORMAT-CONTROL defaults to NIL.

Changes in sbcl-1.0.46 relative to sbcl-1.0.45:
* enhancement: largefile support on Solaris.
* enhancement: SB-PROFILE:REPORT now supports :LIMIT and :PRINT-NO-CALL-LIST
arguments (lp#710017)
* enhancement: SB-PCL:+SLOT-UNBOUND+ is exported, making it possible to
distinguish unbound instance slots when using STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS
&co. (lp#718039)
* optimization: ERROR and CERROR are approximately 5 times faster.
* optimization: optimized constructors are used for MAKE-INSTANCE of classes
with applicable non-standard (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS),
SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS, and INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods, speeding
up instance creation in those cases.
* optimization: arithmetic operations with multiple constant arguments in now
have them reduced at compile-time. (lp#676414)
* optimization: determining current character position on string-streams for
pretty-printing was overly slow.

lifetime analysis to overwrite closed-over variables (lp#681092).
* bug fix: encoding errors from some multibyte external formats such as EUC-JP
were not handled correctly (lp#713063).
* bug fix: printing waitqueue objects without setting *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T is now
safe (lp#673630).

unintern the wrong symbol with the same name. (lp#693796)
* bug fix: COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH always has access to a pristine table,
making it possible to restore the initial table if it has been messed up.
(lp#678409)

New in version 1.0.45
* enhancement: ~/ and ~user/ are treated specially in pathnames.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.010.
* optimization: mutated closed-over variables that are only accessed
by DYNAMIC-EXTENT closures (currently only FLET and LABELS functions
declared to be DYNAMIC-EXTENT) are stored directly in their containing
stack frame, rather than allocating a VALUE-CELL (#586103).
* optimization: UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup functions are now declared
DYNAMIC-EXTENT.
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.44
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM accepts :EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument
to select the external-format for its :INPUT, :OUTPUT, AND
:ERROR :STREAMs.

(SIMPLE-ARRAY SB-EXT:WORD (*)) as a place.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 2.009.
* enhancement: the system detects known type-erros in calls better,

* optimization: constant-folding exploits numeric and character types,
in addition member types.
* optimization: numeric, character and member types that are inhabited
by exactly one value are tested with EQL.
* optimization: more conditional branches are eliminated during IR1.
Branches are simplified before performing if/if-conversion,
and simple equivalent branches (that only read the same constant
or variable) are merged.
* improvements to the Windows port:
+ change: canonical unparsing form for pathname namestrings now
uses / as directory separator. NATIVE-NAMESTRING still uses \
as the separator.

serve-event event-loop by default. (#316072)
+ In addition to streams created by explicit calls to MAKE-FD-STREAM
this affects streams from CL:OPEN.

serve-event by default, but this is liable to change:
applications needing serve-event for socket streams
should explicitly request it using :SERVE-EVENTS T in the call.

SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF &co.
* enhancement: CLOS effective method functions and defclass slot
typechecking function now have debug names for use in backtraces

in several error and warning messages which are often associated
with package conflicts or mixups (#622789, thanks to Attila Lendvai)

Changes in sbcl-1.0.41 relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
* optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
* optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
if it exists.
* bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.

* bug fix: readdir now works on :inode64 darwin builds (lp#592897)
* bug fix: Name conflicts between symbols passed as arguments to a single
call to IMPORT no longer add multiple symbols with the same name to the
package (detectable via DO-SYMBOLS).

New in version 1.0.39
- bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64
now show the calling frame.
- bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow
their space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they
are written out of order).
- bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on
non-x86oid platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale
pointers on the control stack in subsequent GCs (which would,
and does, break invariants).
- bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
- bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than
about 32767 now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
- bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and
conversions) in the high order bits are explicitly cleared
out. In some contrived situations, this could lead to wrong
results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
- bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when
building with clisp. (#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
- new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to
Josh Elsasser).
- bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.

changes in sbcl-1.0.38 relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
* incompatible change: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
like for any other thread-related datastructure, MUTEX, etc. (lp#547095)
* deprecation: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
* deprecation: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
* new contributed module: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to
contain additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming;
at the moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
implementation.
* new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters. Also added
:TIMEOUT argument to GRAB-MUTEX on non-sb-lutex platforms like Linux and
BSD.
* new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
* new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.
* new feature: a CANCEL-DEADLINE is associated with DEADLINE-TIMEOUT
conditions to defer the deadline for forever.
* enhancement: *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *STANDARD-INPUT*, and *ERROR-OUTPUT* are
now bivalent.
* enhancement: errors from NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD and
NO-PRIMARY-METHOD now have a RETRY restart available to retry the
generic function call.
* enhancement: SB-BSD-SOCKET improvements
** sockets and socket streams now have a more informative printed
representation based on the corresponding SOCKET-NAME and
SOCKET-PEERNAME.
** SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM once more supports the :AUTO-CLOSE option.
(lp#540413)
** SOCKET-CLOSE now accepts :ABORT argument, which is passed on to
CL:CLOSE when appropriate, and no longer disassociates the stream
from the socket if close failed. (lp#543951)
* improvements to the instrumenting profiler
** new feature: report per-function GC overhead. (thanks to John Fremlin)
** optimization: counters no longer use locks for the overflow mode.
** bug fix: whenever a profiling counter wrapped into overflow mode, it
incurred an off-by-one miscount.
* enhancement: improved MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation (lp#543473)
* enhancement: improved DEFMETHOD pretty-printing.
* enhancement: perform range reduction when arguments are too large for
x87's transcendentals (instead of returning 0). (lp#327192)
* enhancement: eliminate some spurious TYPE-WARNINGs. Should help with
some of CL-PPCRE's macros. (lp#570079)
* enhancement: our machine code is slightly less hostile to valgrind on
x86-64.
* enhancement: up-to-date versions of NetBSD-current are supported. (Thanks
to Robert Swindells and Aleksej Saushev)
* bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
* bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
* bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
to timeouts could be left in an inconsistent state.

* bug fix: misoptimization of multiplication by one in
(SB-C::FLOAT-ACCURACY 0) policies.

* bug fix: Fix lost wakeup bug between SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT and
CONDITION-NOTIFY on Linux. See threads "lost wakeup in condition-wait /
condition-notify" (Feb 2010) and "Condition-Wait, Deadline handler, waking
up itself" (March 2010) for further details.
* bug fix: allow forward FIND and POSITION on lists to elide checking :END
against length of the list if the element is found before the specified
END is reached. (thanks to Alec Berryman, lp#554385)
* bug fix: errors signalled during package graph modification no longer
block FIND-SYMBOL and FIND-PACKAGE in other threads. (lp#511072)
* bug fix: SB-POSIX build was broken when SBCL was compiled without the
:SB-DOC feature. (lp#552564)
* bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT build issues on GENGC/PPC. (lp#490490)

* bug fix: GCD always returns positive values. (lp#413680)
* bug fix: Converting division to multiplication by reciprocal handles
denormals.
* bug fix: We were too eager in eliding range reduction tests on x87.
The maximal magnitude is 2^63, not 2^64.

ignored anymore.
* bug fix: Maybe restore buildability on Alpha.
* bug fix: READ-BYTE isn't inline anymore, fixing weird streams failures.
(lp#569404)
* bug fix: RANDOM-STATE can be printed readably again.
* bug fix: Unreadable objects were sometimes printed like #<\nFoo>.
* bug fix: Using EQL with non-constant values of constant type (e.g. EQL
types) could result in type mismatches during compilation.
changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
* enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
stack frame thrown from.
* enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
* enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
Weber)
* optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
* optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
for accessing such arrays.
* optimization: passing NIL as the environment argument to TYPEP no longer
inhibits optimizing it. (lp#309788)
* optimization: more efficient register usage when handling single-float
arguments on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
* optimization: ADJUST-ARRAY and STABLE-SORT on vectors no longer use
pre-allocated temporary vectors. (lp#496249)
* bug fix: Fix compiler error involving MAKE-ARRAY and IF forms
in :INITIAL-CONTENTS. (lp#523612)
* bug fix: FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION lost declarations from interpreted
functions. (lp#524707)

WITH-SLOTS usages during compilation.
* bug fix: SB-C::CLASS-INFO now prints correctly. (lp#514762)
* enhancement: Can now build with ud2 instead of int3 as trap instruction on
all x86oid platforms with :UD2-BREAKPOINTS target feature.
* bug fix: Breakpoints now work when using ud2 instead of int3 as trap
instruction (tested on x86oid linux with ud2-breakpoints).
* bug fix: slam.sh now works on win32.
* bug fix: better differences of numeric types. (lp#309124)
* bug fix: arrays declared intersection and union types can have their
upgraded element type derived. (lp#316078)
* bug fix: SB-SPROF allocation profiling for all threads failed to profile
threads started during profiling. (lp#472499)
* bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT test failure when building without SB-EVAL feature.
(lp#535658)
* bug fix: SB-CLTL2:DECLARATION-INFORMATION did not take
SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY into account. (lp#313337)
* bug fix: Comma inside a backquoted array or structure resulted in nonsense
values instead of signaling an error. (lp#309093)
* bug fix: Spurious unused variable warning in a DEFSTRUCT edge case.
(lp#528807)
* bug fix: More consistent warnings and notes for ignored DYNAMIC-EXTENT
declarations (lp#497321)
* bug fix: FIND and POSITION on lists did not check sequence bounds properly
and failed to detect circular lists (lp#452008)
* bug fix: leakage from ~/.asdf-install into the ASDf-INSTALL contrib build
(lp#538974)
* bug fix: LOOP OF-TYPE VECTOR compile-time error. (lp#540186)

&REST and &KEY in lambda-list caused miscompilation (lp#458354)
* bug fix: WHO-CALLS information for source-transformed and compiler-macro
expanded calls (lp#542174)
* bug fix: more accurate WHO-MACROEXPANDS information; point into rather
than just at toplevel form.

New in version 1.0.36
- new feature: SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-1, SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND, and
SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-ALL behave exactly like their MACROEXPAND
counterparts but work on type specifiers.
- new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINED-TYPE-NAME-P returns whether a
symbol is known to name a type specifier.
- new feature: SB-EXT:VALID-TYPE-SPECIFIER-P returns whether a
given type specifier is valid where "valid" basically means
"would be accepted as second argument of TYPEP".
- new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-TYPE takes a
function-designator and returns the function's declared, or
derived FTYPE.
- new feature: SB-POSIX now supports accessing the d_ino
member of dirent structures. (Thanks to Philipp Marek and
Pierre THEIRRY)
- new feature: The function SB-EXT:SEED-RANDOM-STATE has been
added to provide for seeding a RANDOM-STATE object with
user-provided data or from the operating system's PRNG.
Also, (MAKE-RANDOM-STATE T) will attempt to initialize the
returned state from the operating system's PRNG where
possible. (Thanks to Fare Rideau; launchpad bug #310116)
- bug fix: Fix SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS:READ-VECTOR to correctly set
the FILE-POSITION of the stream being read from. (launchpad
bug #491087)
- bug fix: Fix grammar and style issues for the docstrings of
printer-related variables and functions. (Thanks to mon_key;
launchpad bug #518696)
- bug fix: Fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to
Larry Valkama and Bruce O'Neel.
- bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT sometimes signaled a
deadline twice in a row even though a handler defered the
deadline long into the future. (#512914)
- bug fix: A deadline handler was run without interrupts
enabled for a deadline signaled within
SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT.
That could result in infinitely spinning, non-killable threads.
- bug fix: Backtrace from internal-errors on x86-64 os x was
truncated before reaching the erring stack frame.
- bug fix: Fix type derivation for EXPT when raising a fixnum
to a real power. (launchpad bug #525949)
- bug fix: Fix SB-EXT:GENERATION-* accessors for generations >
0 on GENCGC platforms. (launchpad bug #529014)
- bug fix: More robust checks for invalid DEFMETHOD argument
specializers. (launchpad bug #525916)
- bug fix: Fix building on Darwin when sysctl is not in the
user's PATH. (Thanks to Robert Goldman)
