-195: "confusing reporting of not-a-REAL TYPE-ERRORs from THE REAL"
- In sbcl-0.7.7.10, (THE REAL #(1 2 3)) signals a type error which
- prints as "This is not a (OR SINGLE-FLOAT DOUBLE-FLOAT RATIONAL)".
- The (OR SINGLE-FLOAT DOUBLE-FLOAT RATIONAL) representation of
- REAL is unnecessarily confusing, especially since it relies on
- internal implementation knowledge that even with SHORT-FLOAT
- and LONG-FLOAT left out of the union, this type is equal to REAL.
- So it'd be better just to say "This is not a REAL".

+ Compiler does not check THEs on unused values, e.g. in
+
+ (progn (the real (list 1)) t)
+
+ This situation may appear during optimizing away degenerate cases of
+ certain functions: see bugs 54, 192b.

+205: "environment issues in cross compiler"
+ (These bugs have no impact on user code, but should be fixed or
+ documented.)

+ b. The body of (EVAL-WHEN (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL) ...) is evaluated in

+206: ":SB-FLUID feature broken"
+ (reported by Antonio Martinez-Shotton sbcl-devel 2002-10-07)
+ Enabling :SB-FLUID in the target-features list in sbcl-0.7.8 breaks
+ the build.

+207: "poorly distributed SXHASH results for compound data"
+ SBCL's SXHASH could probably try a little harder. ANSI: "the
+ intent is that an implementation should make a good-faith
+ effort to produce hash-codes that are well distributed
+ within the range of non-negative fixnums". But
+ (let ((hits (make-hash-table)))
+ (dotimes (i 16)
+ (dotimes (j 16)
+ (let* ((ij (cons i j))
+ (newlist (push ij (gethash (sxhash ij) hits))))
+ (when (cdr newlist)
+ (format t "~&collision: ~S~%" newlist))))))
+ reports lots of collisions in sbcl-0.7.8. A stronger MIX function
+ would be an obvious way of fix. Maybe it would be acceptably efficient
+ to redo MIX using a lookup into a 256-entry s-box containing
+ 29-bit pseudorandom numbers?
+
+208: "package confusion in PCL handling of structure slot handlers"
+ In sbcl-0.7.8 compiling and loading
+ (in-package :cl)
+ (defstruct foo (slot (error "missing")) :type list :read-only t)
+ (defmethod print-object ((foo foo) stream) (print nil stream))
+ causes CERROR "attempting to modify a symbol in the COMMON-LISP
+ package: FOO-SLOT". (This is fairly bad code, but still it's hard
+ to see that it should cause symbols to be interned in the CL package.)
+
+209: "DOCUMENTATION generic function has wrong argument precedence order"
+ The method from
+ (DEFMETHOD DOCUMENTATION ((X (EQL '+)) Y) "WRONG!")
+ should not be executed in the call
+ (DOCUMENTATION '+ 'FUNCTION),
+ as the DOCUMENTATION generic function has a different argument
+ precedence order (see its entry in the CLHS). However, despite a
+ correct generic function definition in the PCL source code, SBCL
+ returns "WRONG!" for the call.
