+3: "type checking of structure slots"
+ a:
ANSI specifies that a type mismatch in a structure slot
initialization value should not cause a warning.
WORKAROUND:
Such code should compile without complaint and work correctly either
on SBCL or on any other completely compliant Common Lisp system.
-6:
- bogus warnings about undefined functions for magic functions like
- SB!C::%%DEFUN and SB!C::%DEFCONSTANT when cross-compiling files
- like src/code/float.lisp. Fixing this will probably require
- straightening out enough bootstrap consistency issues that
- the cross-compiler can run with *TYPE-SYSTEM-INITIALIZED*.
- Instead, the cross-compiler runs in a slightly flaky state
- which is sane enough to compile SBCL itself, but which is
- also unstable in several ways, including its inability
- to really grok function declarations.
-
- As of sbcl-0.7.5, sbcl's cross-compiler does run with
- *TYPE-SYSTEM-INITIALIZED*; however, this bug remains.
+ b: &AUX argument in a boa-constructor without a default value means
+ "do not initilize this slot" and does not cause type error. But
+ an error may be signalled at read time and it would be good if
+ SBCL did it.

- The way that the compiler munges types with arguments together
- with types with no arguments (in e.g. TYPE-EXPAND) leads to
- weirdness visible to the user:
- (DEFTYPE FOO () 'FIXNUM)
- (TYPEP 11 'FOO) => T
- (TYPEP 11 '(FOO)) => T, which seems weird
- (TYPEP 11 'FIXNUM) => T
- (TYPEP 11 '(FIXNUM)) signals an error, as it should
- The situation is complicated by the presence of Common Lisp types
- like UNSIGNED-BYTE (which can either be used in list form or alone)
- so I'm not 100% sure that the behavior above is actually illegal.
- But I'm 90+% sure, and the following related behavior,
- (TYPEP 11 'AND) => T
- treating the bare symbol AND as equivalent to '(AND), is specifically
- forbidden (by the ANSI specification of the AND type).

- (LOCALLY

- is redundant. However, as reported by Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll for

- macros themselves, since it's too hard for the macro to detect
- assignments to the variable within the clause.
- Note: The compiler *is* smart enough to do the type inference in
- many cases. This case, derived from a couple of MACROEXPAND-1
- calls on Ripoll's original test case,
- (DEFUN NEGMAT (A)
- (DECLARE (OPTIMIZE SPEED (SAFETY 0)))

- (SETF (ROW-MAJOR-AREF A I) (- (ROW-MAJOR-AREF A I)))

- demonstrates the problem; but the problem goes away if the TAGBODY
- and GO forms are removed (leaving the SETF in ordinary, non-looping
- code), or if the TAGBODY and GO forms are retained, but the

+243: "STYLE-WARNING overenthusiasm for unused variables"
+ (observed from clx compilation)
+ In sbcl-0.7.14, in the presence of the macros
+ (DEFMACRO FOO (X) `(BAR ,X))
+ (DEFMACRO BAR (X) (DECLARE (IGNORABLE X)) 'NIL)
+ somewhat surprising style warnings are emitted for
+ (COMPILE NIL '(LAMBDA (Y) (FOO Y))):
+ ; in: LAMBDA (Y)
+ ; (LAMBDA (Y) (FOO Y))
+ ;
+ ; caught STYLE-WARNING:
+ ; The variable Y is defined but never used.
+
+245: bugs in disassembler
+ a. On X86 an immediate operand for IMUL is printed incorrectly.
+ b. On X86 operand size prefix is not recognized.
+
+248: "reporting errors in type specifier syntax"
+ (TYPEP 1 '(SYMBOL NIL)) says something about "unknown type
+ specifier".
+
+251:
+ (defun foo (&key (a :x))
+ (declare (fixnum a))
+ a)
+
+ does not cause a warning. (BTW: old SBCL issued a warning, but for a
+ function, which was never called!)
+
+256:
+ Compiler does not emit warnings for
+
+ a. (lambda () (svref (make-array 8 :adjustable t) 1))
+
+ b. (lambda (x)
+ (list (let ((y (the real x)))
+ (unless (floatp y) (error ""))
+ y)
+ (integer-length x)))
+
+ c. (lambda (x)
+ (declare (optimize (debug 0)))
+ (declare (type vector x))
+ (list (fill-pointer x)
+ (svref x 1)))
+
+257:
+ Complex array type does not have corresponding type specifier.
