- The compiler is supposed to do type inference well enough that
- 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
- CMU CL, it sometimes doesn't. Adding declarations is a pretty good
- 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)).

Functions are assigned names based on the context in which they're

time trying to GC afterwards. Surely there's some more economical

When the compiler inline expands functions, it may be that different

Evidently Python thinks of the lambda as a code transformation so
