- as pointed out by Dan Barlow on sbcl-devel 2000-07-02:
- The PICK-TEMPORARY-FILE-NAME utility used by LOAD-FOREIGN uses
- an easily guessable temporary filename in a way which might open
- applications using LOAD-FOREIGN to hijacking by malicious users
- on the same machine. Incantations for doing this safely are
- floating around the net in various "how to write secure programs
- despite Unix" documents, and it would be good to (1) fix this in
- LOAD-FOREIGN, and (2) hunt for any other code which uses temporary
- files and make it share the same new safe logic.
-
- (partially alleviated in sbcl-0.7.9.32 by a fix by Matthew Danish to
- make the temporary filename less easily guessable)

- is giving an unclear error message.

- Urgh... It's time to write IR1-copier.
+ During inline expansion of a local function Python can try to
+ reference optimized away objects (functions, variables, CTRANs from

+ cases are worked around by forbidding expansion in such cases, but
+ the better way would be to reimplement inline expansion by copying
+ IR1 structures.

- SBCL is unsure of what to do about characters with codes in the
- range 128-255. Currently they are treated as non-graphic, but don't
- have names, which is not compliant with the standard. Various fixes
- are possible, such as
- * giving them names such as NON-ASCII-128;
- * reducing CHAR-CODE-LIMIT to 127 (almost certainly unpopular);
- * making the characters graphic (makes a certain amount of sense);
- * biting the bullet and implementing Unicode (probably quite hard).

+ unhandled condition (of type SB-INT:BUG):
+ failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
+ Several clever people have taken a shot at this without fixing

+ commented out the SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE calls until someone figures
+ out how to make them work reliably with the rest of the GC.

+349: PPRINT-INDENT rounding implementation decisions
+ At present, pprint-indent (and indeed the whole pretty printer)
+ more-or-less assumes that it's using a monospace font. That's
+ probably not too silly an assumption, but one piece of information
+ the current implementation loses is from requests to indent by a
+ non-integral amount. As of sbcl-0.8.15.9, the system silently
+ truncates the indentation to an integer at the point of request, but
+ maybe the non-integral value should be propagated through the
+ pprinter and only truncated at output? (So that indenting by 1/2
+ then 3/2 would indent by two spaces, not one?)

+
+353: debugger suboptimalities on x86
+ On x86 backtraces for undefined functions start with a bogus stack
+ frame, and backtraces for throws to unknown catch tags with a "no
+ debug information" frame. These are both due to CODE-COMPONENT-FROM-BITS
+ (used on non-x86 platforms) being a more complete solution then what
+ is done on x86.
+
+ More generally, the debugger internals suffer from excessive x86/non-x86
+ conditionalization and OAOOMization: refactoring the common parts would
+ be good.
+
+354: XEPs in backtraces
+ Under default compilation policy
+ (defun test ()
+ (throw :unknown t))
+ (test)
+ Has the XEP for TEST in the backtrace, not the TEST frame itself.
+ (sparc and x86 at least)
