+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.
+
+ c: Reading of not initialized slot sometimes causes SEGV (for inline
+ accessors it is fixed, but out-of-line still do not perform type
+ check).

- 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).

- the declaration in
- (TYPECASE X
- ((SIMPLE-ARRAY SINGLE-FLOAT)
- (LOCALLY
- (DECLARE (TYPE (SIMPLE-ARRAY SINGLE-FLOAT) X))
- ..))
- ..)
- is redundant. However, as reported by Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll for

- workaround for the problem for now, but can't be done by the TYPECASE
- 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)))
- (COND ((TYPEP A '(SIMPLE-ARRAY SINGLE-FLOAT)) NIL

- (SETF (ROW-MAJOR-AREF A I) (- (ROW-MAJOR-AREF A I)))
- (GO SB-LOOP::NEXT-LOOP)
- SB-LOOP::END-LOOP))))))
- 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
- assigned value becomes 0.0 instead of (- (ROW-MAJOR-AREF A I)).

-193: "unhelpful CLOS error reporting when the primary method is missing"
- In sbcl-0.7.7, when
- (defmethod foo :before ((x t)) (print x))
- is the only method defined on FOO, the error reporting when e.g.
- (foo 12)
- is relatively unhelpful:
- There is no primary method for the generic function
- #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION FOO (1)>.
- with the offending argument nowhere visible in the backtrace. This
- continues even if there *are* primary methods, just not for the
- specified arg type, e.g.
- (defmethod foo ((x character)) (print x))
- (defmethod foo ((x string)) (print x))
- (defmethod foo ((x pathname)) ...)
- In that case it could be very helpful to know what argument value is
- falling through the cracks of the defined primary methods, but the
- error message stays the same (even BACKTRACE doesn't tell you what the
- bad argument value is).

-194: "no error from (THE REAL '(1 2 3)) in some cases"

- a. In sbcl-0.7.7.9,
- (multiple-value-prog1 (progn (the real '(1 2 3))))
- returns (1 2 3) instead of signalling an error. This was fixed by
- APD's "more strict type checking patch", but although the fixed
- code (in sbcl-0.7.7.19) works (signals TYPE-ERROR) interactively,
- it's difficult to write a regression test for it, because
- (IGNORE-ERRORS (MULTIPLE-VALUE-PROG1 (PROGN (THE REAL '(1 2 3)))))
- still returns (1 2 3).
- still-broken parts:
- b. (IGNORE-ERRORS (MULTIPLE-VALUE-PROG1 (PROGN (THE REAL '(1 2 3)))))
- returns (1 2 3). (As above, this shows up when writing regression
- tests for fixed-ness of part a.)
- c. Also in sbcl-0.7.7.9, (IGNORE-ERRORS (THE REAL '(1 2 3))) => (1 2 3).
- d. At the REPL,
- (null (ignore-errors
- (let ((arg1 1)
- (arg2 (identity (the real #(1 2 3)))))
- (if (< arg1 arg2) arg1 arg2))))
- => T
- but putting the same expression inside (DEFUN FOO () ...),
- (FOO) => NIL.
- notes:
- * Actually this entry is probably multiple bugs, as
- Alexey Dejneka commented on sbcl-devel 2002-09-03:)
- I don't think that placing these two bugs in one entry is
- a good idea: they have different explanations. The second
- (min 1 nil) is caused by flushing of unused code--IDENTITY
- can do nothing with it. So it is really bug 122. The first
- (min nil) is due to M-V-PROG1: substituting a continuation
- for the result, it forgets about type assertion. The purpose
- of IDENTITY is to save the restricted continuation from
- inaccurate transformations.
- * Alexey Dejneka pointed out that
- (IGNORE-ERRORS (IDENTITY (THE REAL '(1 2 3))))
- works as it should. Also
- (IGNORE-ERRORS (VALUES (THE REAL '(1 2 3))))
- works as it should. Perhaps this is another case of VALUES type

COERCE, MERGE and CONCATENATE go into an infinite loop when given

of the implementation, as conforming code cannot give non-proper
