-for 0.7.0:
-
-* filed off the roughest edges (or, perhaps, at least hammered down the
- protruding rusty nails and snipped off the trailing razor wire,
- leaving some filing for later:-) from the monster
- EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
-* more renaming (esp. for global as opposed to lexical names):
-* pending patches and bug reports that go in (or else get handled
- somehow, rejected/logged/whatever) before 0.7.0:
-=======================================================================
for early 0.7.x:
-* patches postponed until after 0.7.0:
- ** CSR "rough patch to fix bug 106" 2001-10-28
- ** Alexey Dejneka "bug 111" 2001-12-30
-* building with CLISP (or explaining why not). This will likely involve
- a rearrangement of the build system so that it never renames
- the output from COMPILE-FILE, because CLISP's COMPILE-FILE
- outputs two (!) files and as far as I can tell LOAD uses both
- of them. Since I have other motivations for this rearrangement
- besides CLISPiosyncrasies, I'm reasonably motivated to do it.
* urgent EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
** made inlining DEFUN inside MACROLET work again
- ** (also, while working on INLINE anyway, it should be easy
+ ** (also, while working on INLINE anyway, it might be easy
to flush the old MAYBE-INLINE cruft entirely,
including e.g. on the man page)
** fixed bug 137 (more)
(so that slam.sh will run faster and also just because
ideally everything would be in cold init)
** profiled and tweaked
+* fixed (TRACE :REPORT PROFILE ...) interface to profiling
* more EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
** made %COMPILE understand magicality of DEFUN FOO
w.r.t. e.g. preexisting inlineness of FOO
** used %COMPILE where COMPILE-TOP-LEVEL used to be used
** removed now-redundant COMPILE-TOP-LEVEL and
FUNCTIONAL-KIND=:TOP-LEVEL stuff from the compiler
- ** made FUNCTION-NAME logic work on closures, so that
+ ** (ideally, but perhaps too hard, given what I've discovered
+ about the godawful internals of function debug names):
+ made FUNCTION-NAME logic work on closures, so that
various public functions like CL:PACKAGEP which
are now implemented as closures (because
they're structure slot accessors) won't be so
nasty in the debugger
- ** %SLOT-ACCESSOR/%SLOT-ACCESSOR stuff can probably go away,
- since we inline expand all slot accessors into
- %INSTANCE-REF and the optimizer knows all it needs
- to know about that.
* rewrote long-standing confusing error restarts for redefining
DEFSTRUCTs
* outstanding embarrassments
** cut-and-pasted DEF-BOOLEAN-ATTRIBUTE (maybe easier to fix
- now that EVAL-WHEN does what it should..)
+ now that EVAL-WHEN works correctly..)
** incomplete manual
- ** :IGNORE-ERRORS-P cruft in stems-and-flags.lisp-expr
+ ** :IGNORE-ERRORS-P cruft in stems-and-flags.lisp-expr. (It's
+ reasonable to support this as a crutch when initially
+ bootstrapping from balky xc hosts with their own
+ idiosyncratic ideas of what merits FAILURE-P, but it's
+ embarrassing to have to use it when bootstrapping
+ under SBCL!),
** weird double-loading (first in GENESIS, then in warm init)
of src/assembly/target/*.lisp stuff, and the associated
weirdness of the half-baked state (compiler almost but
os_trunc_foo(), os_round_up_foo()
** removed various avoid-evaluating-C-macro-arg-twice
cruft
-* added mechanisms for automatically finding dead symbols is
+* added mechanisms for automatically finding dead symbols in
package-data.lisp-expr (i.e. those symbols not bound,
fbound, defined as types, or whatever), and used them
to remove dead symbols
-* made system handle stack overflow safely unless SAFETY is dominated
- by SPEED or SPACE
-* Probably get rid of or at least rework the fdefinition/encapsulation
- system so that (SYMBOL-FUNCTION 'FOO) = (FDEFINITION 'FOO).
+* Either get rid of or at least rework the fdefinition/encapsulation
+ system so that (SYMBOL-FUNCTION 'FOO) is identically equal to
+ (FDEFINITION 'FOO).
+* building using CLISP (since building under OpenMCL works, this is
+ reduced to "it would be nice" rather than "as proof of concept")
