- (TIME (ROOM T)) reports more than 200 Mbytes consed even for
- a clean, just-started SBCL system. And it seems to be right:
- (ROOM T) can bring a small computer to its knees for a *long*
- time trying to GC afterwards. Surely there's some more economical
- way to implement (ROOM T).
+ ROOM issues:
- Daniel Barlow doesn't know what fixed this, but observes that it
- doesn't seem to be the case in 0.8.7.3 any more. Instead, (ROOM T)
- in a fresh SBCL causes
+ a) ROOM works by walking over the heap linearly, instead of
+ following the object graph. Hence, it report garbage objects that
+ are unreachable. (Maybe this is a feature and not a bug?)
- debugger invoked on a SB-INT:BUG in thread 5911:
- failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
-
- unless a GC has happened beforehand.
+ b) ROOM uses MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS to walk the heap, which doesn't
+ check all pointers as well as it should, and can hence become
+ confused, leading to aver failures. As of 1.0.13.21 these (the
+ SAP= aver in particular) should be mostly under control, but push
+ ROOM hard enough and it still might croak.

-411: NAN issues on x86-64
- Test :NAN-COMPARISONS in float.pure.lisp fails on x86-64, and has been
- disabled on those platforms. Since x86 does not exhibit any problems
- the problem is probably with the new FP implementation.

+

+420: The MISC.556 test from gcl/ansi-tests/misc.lsp fails hard.
+
+In sbcl-1.0.13 on Linux/x86, executing

+Analysis: + and a number of other arithmetic functions exhibit the
+same behaviour. Here's the underlying problem: On x86 we perform
+single-float + integer normally using double-precision, and then
+coerce the result back to single-float. (The FILD instruction always
+gives us a double-float, and unless we do MOVE-FROM-SINGLE it remains
+one. Or so it seems to me, and that would also explain the observed
+behaviour below.)
+
+During IR1 we derive the types for both
+
+ (+ <single> <integer>) ; uses double-precision
+ (+ <single> (FLOAT <integer> <single>)) ; uses single-precision
+
+and get a mismatch for a number of unlucky arguments. This leads to
+derived result type NIL, and ends up flushing the whole whole
+operation -- and finally we generate code without a return sequence,
+and fall through to whatever.
+
+The use of double-precision in the first case appears to be an
+(un)happy accident -- interval arithmetic gives us the
+double-precision result because that's what the backend does.

+421: READ-CHAR-NO-HANG misbehaviour on Windows Console:
- This was fixed in 1.0.4.89, but the patch was reverted as it caused
- ROOM to cons sufficiently to make running it in a loop deadly on
- GENCGC: newly allocated objects survived to generation 1, where next
- call to ROOM would see them, and allocate even more...
+ It seems that on Windows READ-CHAR-NO-HANG hangs if the user
