+ to '#define QSHOW_SIGNAL 1' in src/runtime/runtime.h.

+- isolate a smallish test case, run it
+
+- if it just hangs kill it with sigabrt: kill -ABRT <pidof sbcl>
+
+- print the backtrace from ldb by typing 'ba'
+
+- attach gdb: gdb -p <pidof sbcl> and get backtraces for all threads:
+ thread apply all ba
+
+- if multiple threads are in play then still in gdb, try to get Lisp
+ backtrace for all threads: 'thread apply all
+ call_backtrace_from_fp($ebp, 100)'. Substitute $ebp with $rbp on
+ x86-64.
+
+- send a report with the backtraces and the output (both stdout,

Such code should compile without complaint and work correctly either
on SBCL or on any other completely compliant Common Lisp system.

- (TIME (ROOM T)) reports more than 200 Mbytes consed even for

- way to implement (ROOM T).

- 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
+ ROOM issues:
- debugger invoked on a SB-INT:BUG in thread 5911:
- failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
+ 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?)
- 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

- In the course of trying to build a test case for an

- If you start up sbcl, and then lay on CTRL-C for a

- %PRIMITIVE HALT called; the party is over.
- and throw you into the monitor. If I start up lisp,
- attach to the process with strace, and then do the same
- (abusive) thing, I get instead:
- access failure in heap page not marked as write-protected
- and the monitor again. I don't know enough to have the
- faintest idea of what is going on here.

SBCL's SXHASH could probably try a little harder. ANSI: "the

215: ":TEST-NOT handling by functions"
- a. FIND and POSITION currently signal errors when given non-NIL for
- both their :TEST and (deprecated) :TEST-NOT arguments, but by
- ANSI 17.2 "the consequences are unspecified", which by ANSI 1.4.2
- means that the effect is "unpredictable but harmless". It's not
- clear what that actually means; it may preclude conforming
- implementations from signalling errors.
- b. COUNT, REMOVE and the like give priority to a :TEST-NOT argument
- when conflict occurs. As a quality of implementation issue, it
- might be preferable to treat :TEST and :TEST-NOT as being in some
- sense the same &KEY, and effectively take the first test function in
- the argument list.
- c. Again, a quality of implementation issue: it would be good to issue a
- STYLE-WARNING at compile-time for calls with :TEST-NOT, and a
- WARNING for calls with both :TEST and :TEST-NOT; possibly this
- latter should be WARNed about at execute-time too.
+
+ We should verify that our handling of :TEST-NOT and :TEST is consistent
+ for all functions that accept them: that is, signal an error if both
+ are specified.
+
+ Similarly, a compile-time full warning for calls with both would be good.
+
+ We might also consider a compile-time style warning for :TEST-NOT.
216: "debugger confused by frames with invalid number of arguments"
In sbcl-0.7.8.51, executing e.g. (VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND T), BACKTRACE, Q

- #<FUN-TYPE (FUNCTION (BASE-CHAR) *)>
-
- It causes insertion of wrong type assertions into generated

-
- (defun foo (x s)
- (let ((f (etypecase x

- (integer #'write-byte))))

- (etypecase x

(read-from-string "1.0s1000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
causes the reader to attempt to create a very large bignum (which it

-380: Accessor redefinition fails because of old accessor name
- When redefining an accessor, SB-PCL::FIX-SLOT-ACCESSORS may try to
- find the generic function named by the old accessor name using
- ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION and then remove the old accessor's method in
- the GF. If the old name does not name a function, or if the old name
- does not name a generic function, no attempt to find the GF or remove
- any methods is made.
-
- However, if an unrelated GF with an incompatible lambda list exists,
- the class redefinition will fail when SB-PCL::REMOVE-READER-METHOD
- tries to find and remove a method with an incompatible lambda list
- from the unrelated generic function.

-381: incautious calls to EQUAL in fasl dumping
- Compiling
- (frob #(#1=(a #1#)))
- (frob #(#1=(b #1#)))
- (frob #(#1=(a #1#)))
- in sbcl-0.9.0 causes CONTROL-STACK-EXHAUSTED. My (WHN) impression
- is that this follows from the use of (MAKE-HASH-TABLE :TEST 'EQUAL)
- to detect sharing, in which case fixing it might require either
- getting less ambitious about detecting shared list structure, or
- implementing the moral equivalent of EQUAL hash tables in a
- cycle-tolerant way.

386: SunOS/x86 stack exhaustion handling broken
According to <http://alfa.s145.xrea.com/sbcl/solaris-x86.html>, the
stack exhaustion checking (implemented with a write-protected guard
page) does not work on SunOS/x86.

-395: Unicode and streams
- One of the remaining problems in SBCL's Unicode support is the lack
- of generality in certain streams.
- a. FILL-POINTER-STREAMs: SBCL refuses to write (e.g. using FORMAT)
- to streams made from strings that aren't character strings with
- fill-pointers:
- (let ((v (make-array 5 :fill-pointer 0 :element-type 'standard-char)))
- (format v "foo")
- v)
- should return a non-simple base string containing "foo" but
- instead errors.

403: FORMAT/PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK of CONDITIONs ignoring *PRINT-CIRCLE*
In sbcl-0.9.13.34,
(defparameter *c*
VECTOR-POP: #() has length zero
perhaps because CLISP has shuffled the clauses into an
ANSI-compliant order before proceeding.

+ Given the following food in a single file
+ (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)
+ (defstruct foo3))
+ (defstruct bar
+ (foo #.(make-foo3)))
+ as of 0.9.18.11 the file compiler breaks on it:
+ failed AVER: "(NOT (FUNCTIONAL-HAS-EXTERNAL-REFERENCES-P CLAMBDA))"
+ Defining the missing MAKE-LOAD-FORM method makes the error go away.

+407: misoptimization of loop, COERCE 'FLOAT, and HANDLER-CASE for bignums
+ (reported by Ariel Badichi on sbcl-devel 2007-01-09)
+ 407a: In sbcl-1.0.1 on Linux x86,
+ (defun foo ()
+ (loop for n from (expt 2 1024) do
+ (handler-case
+ (coerce n 'single-float)
+ (simple-type-error ()
+ (format t "Got here.~%")
+ (return-from foo)))))
+ (foo)
+ causes an infinite loop, where handling the error would be expected.
+ 407b: In sbcl-1.0.1 on Linux x86,
+ (defun bar ()
+ (loop for n from (expt 2 1024) do
+ (handler-case
+ (format t "~E~%" (coerce n 'single-float))
+ (simple-type-error ()
+ (format t "Got here.~%")
+ (return-from bar)))))
+ fails to compile, with
+ Too large to be represented as a SINGLE-FLOAT: ...
+ from
+ 0: ((LABELS SB-BIGNUM::CHECK-EXPONENT) ...)
+ 1: ((LABELS SB-BIGNUM::FLOAT-FROM-BITS) ...)
+ 2: (SB-KERNEL:%SINGLE-FLOAT ...)
+ 3: (SB-C::BOUND-FUNC ...)
+ 4: (SB-C::%SINGLE-FLOAT-DERIVE-TYPE-AUX ...)
+
+ These are now fixed, but (COERCE HUGE 'SINGLE-FLOAT) still signals a
+ type-error at runtime. The question is, should it instead signal a
+ floating-point overflow, or return an infinity?
+
+408: SUBTYPEP confusion re. OR of SATISFIES of not-yet-defined predicate
+ As reported by Levente M\'{e}sz\'{a}ros sbcl-devel 2006-02-20,
+ (aver (equal (multiple-value-list
+ (subtypep '(or (satisfies x) string)
+ '(or (satisfies x) integer)))
+ '(nil nil)))
+ fails. Also, beneath that failure lurks another failure,
+ (aver (equal (multiple-value-list
+ (subtypep 'string
+ '(or (satisfies x) integer)))
+ '(nil nil)))
+ Having looked at this for an hour or so in sbcl-1.0.2, and
+ specifically having looked at the output from
+ laptop$ sbcl
+ * (let ((x 'string)
+ (y '(or (satisfies x) integer)))
+ (trace sb-kernel::union-complex-subtypep-arg2
+ sb-kernel::invoke-complex-subtypep-arg1-method
+ sb-kernel::type-union
+ sb-kernel::type-intersection
+ sb-kernel::type=)
+ (subtypep x y))
+ my (WHN) impression is that the problem is that the semantics of TYPE=
+ are wrong for what the UNION-COMPLEX-SUBTYPEP-ARG2 code is trying
+ to use it for. The comments on the definition of TYPE= probably
+ date back to CMU CL and seem to define it as a confusing thing:
+ its primary value is something like "certainly equal," and its
+ secondary value is something like "certain about that certainty."
+ I'm left uncertain how to fix UNION-COMPLEX-SUBTYPEP-ARG2 without
+ reducing its generality by removing the TYPE= cleverness. Possibly
+ the tempting TYPE/= relative defined next to it might be a
+ suitable replacement for the purpose. Probably, though, it would
+ be best to start by reverse engineering exactly what TYPE= and
+ TYPE/= do, and writing an explanation which is so clear that one
+ can see immediately what it's supposed to mean in odd cases like
+ (TYPE= '(SATISFIES X) 'INTEGER) when X isn't defined yet.
+
+409: MORE TYPE SYSTEM PROBLEMS
+ Found while investigating an optimization failure for extended
+ sequences. The extended sequence type implementation was altered to
+ work around the problem, but the fundamental problem remains, to wit:
+ (sb-kernel:type= (sb-kernel:specifier-type '(or float ratio))
+ (sb-kernel:specifier-type 'single-float))
+ returns NIL, NIL on sbcl-1.0.3.
+ (probably related to bug #408)
+
+410: read circularities and type declarations
+ Consider the definition
+ (defstruct foo (a 0 :type (not symbol)))
+ followed by
+ (setf *print-circle* t) ; just in case
+ (read-from-string "#1=#s(foo :a #1#)")
+ This gives a type error (#:G1 is not a (NOT SYMBOL)) because of the
+ implementation of read circularity, using a symbol as a marker for
+ the previously-referenced object.
+
+416: backtrace confusion
+
+ (defun foo (x)
+ (let ((v "foo"))
+ (flet ((bar (z)
+ (oops v z)
+ (oops z v)))
+ (bar x)
+ (bar v))))
+ (foo 13)
+
+ gives the correct error, but the backtrace shows
+ 1: (SB-KERNEL:FDEFINITION-OBJECT 13 NIL)
+ as the second frame.
+
+418: SUBSEQ on lists doesn't support bignum indexes
+
+ LIST-SUBSEQ* now has all the works necessary to support bignum indexes,
+ but it needs to be verified that changing the DEFKNOWN doesn't kill
+ performance elsewhere.
+
+ Other generic sequence functions have this problem as well.
+
+419: stack-allocated indirect closure variables are not popped
+
+ (defun bug419 (x)
+ (multiple-value-call #'list
+ (eval '(values 1 2 3))
+ (let ((x x))
+ (declare (sb-int:truly-dynamic-extent x))
+ (flet ((mget (y)
+ (+ x y))
+ (mset (z)
+ (incf x z)))
+ (declare (dynamic-extent #'mget #'mset))
+ ((lambda (f g) (eval `(progn ,f ,g (values 4 5 6)))) #'mget #'mset)))))
+
+ (ASSERT (EQUAL (BUG419 42) '(1 2 3 4 5 6))) => failure
+
+ Note: as of SBCL 1.0.16.29 this bug no longer affects user code, as
+ SB-INT:TRULY-DYNAMIC-EXTENT needs to be used instead of
+ DYNAMIC-EXTENT for this to happen. Proper fix for this bug requires
+ (Nikodemus thinks) storing the relevant LAMBDA-VARs in a
+ :DYNAMIC-EXTENT cleanup, and teaching stack analysis how to deal
+ with them.
+
+421: READ-CHAR-NO-HANG misbehaviour on Windows Console:
+
+ It seems that on Windows READ-CHAR-NO-HANG hangs if the user
+ has pressed a key, but not yet enter (ie. SYSREAD-MAY-BLOCK-P
+ seems to lie if the OS is buffering input for us on Console.)
+
+ reported by Elliot Slaughter on sbcl-devel 2008/1/10.
+
+422: out-of-extent return not checked in safe code
+
+ (declaim (optimize safety))
+ (funcall (catch 't (block nil (throw 't (lambda () (return))))))
+
+behaves ...erratically. Reported by Kevin Reid on sbcl-devel
+2007-07-06. (We don't _have_ to check things like this, but we
+generally try to check returns in safe code, so we should here too.)
+
+424: toplevel closures and *CHECK-CONSISTENCY*
+
+ The following breaks under COMPILE-FILE if *CHECK-CONSISTENCY* is true.
+
+ (let ((exported-symbols-alist
+ (loop for symbol being the external-symbols of :cl
+ collect (cons symbol
+ (concatenate 'string
+ "#"
+ (string-downcase symbol))))))
+ (defun hyperdoc-lookup (symbol)
+ (cdr (assoc symbol exported-symbols-alist))))
+
+ (Test-case adapted from CL-PPCRE.)
+
+428: TIMER SCHEDULE-STRESS and PARALLEL-UNSCHEDULE in
+ timer.impure.lisp fails
+
+ Failure modes vary. Core problem seems to be (?) recursive entry to
+ RUN-EXPIRED-TIMERS.
+
+429: compiler hangs
+
+ Compiling a file with this contents makes the compiler loop in
+ ORDER-UVL-SETS:
+
+ (declaim (inline storage))
+ (defun storage (x)
+ (the (simple-array flt (*)) (unknown x)))
+
+ (defun test1 (lumps &key cg)
+ (let ((nodes (map 'list (lambda (lump) (storage lump))
+ lumps)))
+ (setf (aref nodes 0) 2)
+ (assert (every #'~= (apply #'concatenate 'list nodes) '(2 3 6 9)))))
