SYMBOL-MACROLET bugs reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
- a: (SYMBOL-MACROLET ((T TRUE)) ..) should probably signal
- PROGRAM-ERROR, but SBCL accepts it instead.
- b: SYMBOL-MACROLET should refuse to bind something which is
- declared as a global variable, signalling PROGRAM-ERROR.
c: SYMBOL-MACROLET should signal PROGRAM-ERROR if something
it binds is declared SPECIAL inside.
the new output block should start indented 2 or more characters
rightward of the correct location.

ANSI specifies that the RESULT-TYPE argument of CONCATENATE must be
a subtype of SEQUENCE, but CONCATENATE doesn't check this properly:
doesn't seem to exist for sequence types:

-70:

(DECLAIM (OPTIMIZE ..)) doesn't work properly inside LOCALLY forms.
(I haven't tried to investigate this bug enough to guess whether
there might be any user-level symptoms.)
-90:
- a latent cross-compilation/bootstrapping bug: The cross-compilation
- host's CL:CHAR-CODE-LIMIT is used in target code in readtable.lisp
- and possibly elsewhere. Instead, we should use the target system's
- CHAR-CODE-LIMIT. This will probably cause problems if we try to
- bootstrap on a system which uses a different value of CHAR-CODE-LIMIT
- than SBCL does.
-
94a:
Inconsistencies between derived and declared VALUES return types for
DEFUN aren't checked very well. E.g. the logic which successfully
GC, so that thereafter memory usage can never be reduced below that
level.
-96:
- The TRACE facility can't be used on some kinds of functions.
- (Basically, the breakpoint facility was incompletely implemented
- in the X86 port of CMU CL, and hasn't been fixed in SBCL.)
-
98:
In sbcl-0.6.11.41 (and in all earlier SBCL, and in CMU
CL), out-of-line structure slot setters are horribly inefficient
the first time around, until regression tests are written I'm not
comfortable merging the patches in the CVS version of SBCL.
-102:
- As reported by Arthur Lemmens sbcl-devel 2001-05-05, ANSI
- requires that SYMBOL-MACROLET refuse to rebind special variables,
- but SBCL doesn't do this. (Also as reported by AL in the same
- message, SBCL depended on this nonconforming behavior to build
- itself, because of the way that **CURRENT-SEGMENT** was implemented.
- As of sbcl-0.7.3.x, this dependence on the nonconforming behavior
- has been fixed, but the nonconforming behavior remains.)
-
104:
(DESCRIBE 'SB-ALIEN:DEF-ALIEN-TYPE) reports the macro argument list
incorrectly:
time trying to GC afterwards. Surely there's some more economical
way to implement (ROOM T).

#+NIL) and I'd like to go back to see whether this really is
a compiler bug before I delete this BUGS entry.
-123:
- The *USE-IMPLEMENTATION-TYPES* hack causes bugs, particularly
- (IN-PACKAGE :SB-KERNEL)
- (TYPE= (SPECIFIER-TYPE '(VECTOR T))
- (SPECIFIER-TYPE '(VECTOR UNDEFTYPE)))
- Then because of this, the compiler bogusly optimizes
- (TYPEP #(11) '(SIMPLE-ARRAY UNDEF-TYPE 1))
- to T. Unfortunately, just setting *USE-IMPLEMENTATION-TYPES* to
- NIL around sbcl-0.pre7.14.flaky4.12 didn't work: the compiler complained
- about type mismatches (probably harmlessly, another instance of bug 117);
- and then cold init died with a segmentation fault.
-
124:
As of version 0.pre7.14, SBCL's implementation of MACROLET makes
the entire lexical environment at the point of MACROLET available
(let ((x (1+ x)))
(call-next-method)))
Now (FOO 3) should return 3, but instead it returns 4.
-
-137:
- (SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE) output should start with something
- including the name BACKTRACE, not (as in 0.pre7.88)
- just "0: (\"hairy arg processor\" ...)". Until about
- sbcl-0.pre7.109, the names in BACKTRACE were all screwed
- up compared to the nice useful names in sbcl-0.6.13.
- Around sbcl-0.pre7.109, they were mostly fixed by using
- NAMED-LAMBDA to implement DEFUN. However, there are still
- some screwups left, e.g. as of sbcl-0.pre7.109, there are
- still some functions named "hairy arg processor" and
- "SB-INT:&MORE processor".

+140:
+ (reported by Alexey Dejneka sbcl-devel 2002-01-03)
+
+ SUBTYPEP does not work well with redefined classes:
+ ---
+ * (defclass a () ())
+ #<STANDARD-CLASS A>
+ * (defclass b () ())
+ #<STANDARD-CLASS B>
+ * (subtypep 'b 'a)
+ NIL
+ T
+ * (defclass b (a) ())
+ #<STANDARD-CLASS B>
+ * (subtypep 'b 'a)
+ T
+ T
+ * (defclass b () ())
+ #<STANDARD-CLASS B>
+
+ ;;; And now...
+ * (subtypep 'b 'a)
+ T
+ T
+
+ This bug was fixed in sbcl-0.7.4.1 by invalidating the PCL wrapper
+ class upon redefinition. Unfortunately, doing so causes bug #176 to
+ appear. Pending further investication, one or other of these bugs
+ might be present at any given time.
141:
Pretty-printing nested backquotes doesn't work right, as
It should be possible to be much more specific (overflow, division
by zero, etc.) and of course the "How can this be?" should be fixable.

148:
In sbcl-0.7.1.3 on x86, COMPILE-FILE on the file
(in-package :cl-user)
Is (1 . 1) of type CONS a cons? => NIL
without signalling an error.
-154:
- There's some sort of problem with aborting back out of the debugger
- after a %DETECT-STACK-EXHAUSTION error in sbcl-0.7.1.38. In some cases
- telling the debugger to ABORT doesn't get you back to the main REPL,
- but instead just gives you another stack exhaustion error. The problem
- doesn't occur in the trivial case
- * (defun frob () (frob) (frob))
- FROB
- * (frob)
- but it has happened in more complicated cases (which I haven't
- figured out how to reproduce).
-
-156:
- FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION doesn't work right in 0.7.0 or 0.7.2.9:
- * (function-lambda-expression #'(lambda (x) x))
- debugger invoked on condition of type TYPE-ERROR:
- The value NIL is not of type SB-C::DEBUG-SOURCE
- (reported by Alexey Dejneka sbcl-devel 2002-04-12)
-
157:
Functions SUBTYPEP, TYPEP, UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE, and
UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE should have an optional environment argument.
isn't too surprising since there are many differences in stack
implementation and GC conservatism between the X86 and other ports.)
-165:
- Array types with element-types of some unknown type are falsely being
- assumed to be of type (ARRAY T) by the compiler in some cases. The
- following code demonstrates the problem:
-
- (defun foo (x)
- (declare (type (vector bar) x))
- (aref x 1))
- (deftype bar () 'single-float)
- (foo (make-array 3 :element-type 'bar))
- -> TYPE-ERROR "The value #(0.0 0.0 0.0) is not of type (VECTOR BAR)."
- (typep (make-array 3 :element-type 'bar) '(vector bar))
- -> T
-
- The easy solution is to make the functions which depend on knowing
- the upgraded-array-element-type (in compiler/array-tran and
- compiler/generic/vm-tran as of sbcl-0.7.3.x) be slightly smarter about
- unknown types; an alternative is to have the
- specialized-element-type slot in the ARRAY-TYPE structure be
- *WILD-TYPE* for UNKNOWN-TYPE element types.

+178: "AVER failure compiling confused THEs in FUNCALL"
+ In sbcl-0.7.4.24, compiling
+ (defun bug178 (x)
+ (funcall (the function (the standard-object x))))
+ gives
+ failed AVER:
+ "(AND (EQ (IR2-CONTINUATION-PRIMITIVE-TYPE 2CONT) FUNCTION-PTYPE) (EQ CHECK T))"

+181: "bad type specifier drops compiler into debugger"
+ Compiling
+ (in-package :cl-user)
+ (defun bar (x)
+ (declare (type 0 x))
+ (cons x x))
+ signals
+ bad thing to be a type specifier: 0

+ continue compiling) which seems wrong.
+
+183: "IEEE floating point issues"
+ Even where floating point handling is being dealt with relatively
+ well (as of sbcl-0.7.5, on sparc/sunos and alpha; see bug #146), the
+ accrued-exceptions and current-exceptions part of the fp control
+ word don't seem to bear much relation to reality. E.g. on
+ SPARC/SunOS:

+187: "type inference confusion around DEFTRANSFORM time"
+ (reported even more verbosely on sbcl-devel 2002-06-28 as "strange
+ bug in DEFTRANSFORM")
+ After the file below is compiled and loaded in sbcl-0.7.5, executing
+ (TCX (MAKE-ARRAY 4 :FILL-POINTER 2) 0)
+ at the REPL returns an adjustable vector, which is wrong. Presumably
+ somehow the DERIVE-TYPE information for the output values of %WAD is
+ being mispropagated as a type constraint on the input values of %WAD,
+ and so causing the type test to be optimized away. It's unclear how
+ hand-expanding the DEFTRANSFORM would change this, but it suggests
+ the DEFTRANSFORM machinery (or at least the way DEFTRANSFORMs are
