14 ;;;; various constants and essentially-constants
16 ;;; a string which appears at the start of a fasl file header
18 ;;; This value is used to identify fasl files. Even though this is not
19 ;;; declared as a constant (because ANSI Common Lisp has no facility
20 ;;; for declaring values which are constant under EQUAL but not EQL),
21 ;;; obviously you shouldn't mess with it lightly. If you do set a new
22 ;;; value for some reason, keep these things in mind:
23 ;;; * To avoid confusion with the similar but incompatible CMU CL
24 ;;; fasl file format, the value should not be "FASL FILE", which
25 ;;; is what CMU CL used for the same purpose.
26 ;;; * Since its presence at the head of a file is used by LOAD to
27 ;;; decide whether a file is to be fasloaded or just loaded
28 ;;; ordinarily (as source), the value should be something which
29 ;;; can't legally appear at the head of a Lisp source file.
30 ;;; * The value should not contain any line-terminating characters,
31 ;;; because they're hard to express portably and because the LOAD
32 ;;; code might reasonably use READ-LINE to get the value to compare
34 (defparameter *fasl-header-string-start-string* "# FASL")
36 ;;; the code for a character which terminates a fasl file header
37 (def!constant +fasl-header-string-stop-char-code+ 255)
39 ;;; This value should be incremented when the system changes in such a
40 ;;; way that it will no longer work reliably with old fasl files. In
41 ;;; practice, I (WHN) fairly often neglect to increment it for CVS
42 ;;; versions which break binary compatibility. But it certainly should
43 ;;; be incremented for release versions which break binary

46 ;;; (record of versions before 0.7.0 deleted in 0.7.1.41)
47 ;;; 23 = sbcl-0.7.0.1 deleted no-longer-used EVAL-STACK stuff,
48 ;;; causing changes in *STATIC-SYMBOLS*.
49 ;;; 24 = sbcl-0.7.1.19 changed PCL service routines which might be
50 ;;; called from macroexpanded code
51 ;;; 25 = sbcl-0.7.1.41 (and immediately preceding versions, actually)
52 ;;; introduced new functions to check for control stack exhaustion
53 ;;; 26 = sbcl-0.7.2.4 or so added :VARIABLE :MACRO-EXPANSION to INFO codes
54 ;;; 27: (2002-04-08) added MIGHT-CONTAIN-OTHER-TYPES? slot to CTYPE
55 ;;; 28: (2002-05-08) new convention for foreign symbols to support
56 ;;; dynamic loading in OpenBSD
57 ;;; 29: (2002-06-24) removed *!INITIAL-FDEFN-OBJECTS* from static symbols
