interrupts enabled.
* incompatible change: support for *BEFORE-GC-HOOKS* (that have been
inoperational for a while now) has been completely removed.
- * Null lexical environments are now printed as #<NULL-LEXENV>,
+ * null lexical environments are now printed as #<NULL-LEXENV>,
significantly reducing the amount of clutter in typical backtraces.
+ * documentation on weak pointers, finalization, and after GC hooks
+ has been added to the manual.
* optimization: REPLACE on declared (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) vectors, as well
as other specialized array types, is much faster. SUBSEQ and
COPY-SEQ on such arrays have also been sped up.
+ * optimization: EQL is now more efficient when at least other argument
+ is known to be of type (OR FIXNUM (NOT NUMBER)).
+ * fixed bug: the runtime is now less vulnerable to changes in the
+ size of the SBCL object on OS X, and virtual memory is reserved for
+ all spaces that need to be at a fixed address.
* fixed bug: finalizers are now thread-safe. (thanks to Gabor Mellis)
* fixed bug: finalizers and after GC hooks that cause consing are now
safe.
*ERROR-OUTPUT*, not *STANDARD-OUTPUT*.
* fixed inference of the upper bound of an iteration variable.
(reported by Rajat Datta).
+ * fixed bug 211e: calling local functions with duplicated constant
+ keyword argument no longer causes a bogus style warning about an
+ unused variable.
+ * fixed bug 305: INLINE/NOTINLINE declaration no longer causes local
+ ftype declaration to be disregarded. (reported by Dave Roberts)
* fixed bug 373: caused by erronous compilation of references to alien
variables in the runtime on ppc/darwin.
* fixed bug 376: CONJUGATE type deriver.
fixed. (thanks to Bruno Haible)
* improvements to the MIPS runtime code for increased stability.
(thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
- * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
- ** the restarts for recovering from input and output encoding
- errors only appear when there is in fact such an error to
- handle.
* increased the maximimum compact environment size to allow
purify on images with large amounts of functions. (thanks to Cyrus Harmon)
+ * partial workaround for bug 135: don't name the function we're
+ calling for hairy cases of EVAL, so as not to accumulate one environment
+ entry per call to EVAL. (reported by Kevin Reid)
* improvements to the x86-64 disassembler. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
* optimization: type testing for non-vector arrays should be faster.
+ * fixed TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL, added support for :ENCAPSULATE NIL
+ on x86-64
+ * bug fix: setting 31st element of a bit vector to zero did not work
+ on Alpha-32.
+ * bug fix: redefining a class definition which failed due to a
+ previous accessor / function clash now works (but see BUGS entry
+ #380 for more problems in this area). (thanks to Zach Beane)
+ * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
+ ** the restarts for recovering from input and output encoding
+ errors only appear when there is in fact such an error to
+ handle.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** MISC.549 and similar: late transformation of unsafe type
assertions into derived types caused unexpected code
** accessing double-floats stored on the stack now works on x86-64.
** debugger internals could sometimes create invalid lispobjs,
resulting in GC crashes.
+ ** MISC.548: type check weakening can convert required type into
+ optional.
+ ** initialization forms for bindings are not in scope of free special
+ declarations.
changes in sbcl-0.8.21 (0.9alpha.1?) relative to sbcl-0.8.20:
* incompatible change: thread support for non-NPTL systems has
