The binding of ABS-FOO is a (VALUES (INTEGER 0 0)

bug instead of creating new ones
- localtime() - called for timezone calculations in code/time.lisp

284: Thread safety: special variables
There are lots of special variables in SBCL, and I feel sure that at
the control word; however, this clobbers any change the user might
have made.
-296:
- (reported by Adam Warner, sbcl-devel 2003-09-23)
-
- The --load toplevel argument does not perform any sanitization of its
- argument. As a result, files with Lisp pathname pattern characters
- (#\* or #\?, for instance) or quotation marks can cause the system
- to perform arbitrary behaviour.

297:
LOOP with non-constant arithmetic step clauses suffers from overzealous
type constraint: code of the form
#.SB-EXT:SINGLE/DOUBLE-FLOAT-POSITIVE-INFINITY. These tests have been
disabled on Darwin for now.

- fails on hairy type check in IR2.
-
- 1. KEYWORDP is MAYBE-INLINE expanded (before TYPEP-like
- transformation could eliminate it).
-
- 2. From the only call of KEYWORDP the type of its argument is
- derived to be KEYWORD.
-
- 2. Type check for P1 is generated; it uses KEYWORDP to perform the
- check, and so references the local function; from the KEYWORDP
- argument type new CAST to KEYWORD is generated. The compiler
- loops forever.

377: Memory fault error reporting
On those architectures where :C-STACK-IS-CONTROL-STACK is in
*FEATURES*, we handle SIG_MEMORY_FAULT (SEGV or BUS) on an altstack,
the right fix is to remove the abstraction violation in the
compiler's type deriver.

+
+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.

+
+397: SLEEP accuracy
+ The more interrupts arrive the less accurate SLEEP's timing gets.
+ (time (sb-thread:terminate-thread

+ (force-output)
+ (sb-ext:gc))))

+
+398: GC-unsafe SB-ALIEN string deporting
+ Translating a Lisp string to an alien string by taking a SAP to it
+ as done by the :DEPORT-GEN methods for C-STRING and UTF8-STRING
+ is not safe, since the Lisp string can move. For example the
+ following code will fail quickly on both cheneygc and pre-0.9.8.19
+ GENCGC:
+
+ (setf (bytes-consed-between-gcs) 4096)
+ (define-alien-routine "strcmp" int (s1 c-string) (s2 c-string))
+
+ (loop
+ (let ((string "hello, world"))
+ (assert (zerop (strcmp string string)))))
+
+ (This will appear to work on post-0.9.8.19 GENCGC, since
+ the GC no longer zeroes memory immediately after releasing
+ it after a minor GC. Either enabling the READ_PROTECT_FREE_PAGES
+ #define in gencgc.c or modifying the example so that a major
+ GC will occasionally be triggered would unmask the bug.)
+
+ On cheneygc the only solution would seem to be allocating some alien
+ memory, copying the data over, and arranging that it's freed once we
+ return. For GENCGC we could instead try to arrange that the string
+ from which the SAP is taken is always pinned.
+
+ For some more details see comments for (define-alien-type-method
+ (c-string :deport-gen) ...) in host-c-call.lisp.

+403: FORMAT/PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK of CONDITIONs ignoring *PRINT-CIRCLE*
+ In sbcl-0.9.13.34,
+ (defparameter *c*
+ (make-condition 'simple-error
+ :format-control "ow... ~S"
+ :format-arguments '(#1=(#1#))))
+ (setf *print-circle* t *print-level* 4)
+ (format nil "~@<~A~:@>" *c*)
+ gives
+ "ow... (((#)))"
+ where I (WHN) believe the correct result is "ow... #1=(#1#)",
+ like the result from (PRINC-TO-STRING *C*). The question of
+ what the correct result is is complicated by the hairy text in
+ the Hyperspec "22.3.5.2 Tilde Less-Than-Sign: Logical Block",
+ Other than the difference in its argument, ~@<...~:> is
+ exactly the same as ~<...~:> except that circularity detection
+ is not applied if ~@<...~:> is encountered at top level in a
+ format string.
+ But because the odd behavior happens even without the at-sign,
+ (format nil "~<~A~:@>" (list *c*)) ; => "ow... (((#)))"
+ and because something seemingly similar can happen even in
+ PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK invoked directly without FORMAT,
+ (pprint-logical-block (*standard-output* '(some nonempty list))
+ (format *standard-output* "~A" '#1=(#1#)))
+ (which prints "(((#)))" to *STANDARD-OUTPUT*), I don't think
+ that the 22.3.5.2 trickiness is fundamental to the problem.
+
+ My guess is that the problem is related to the logic around the MODE
+ argument to CHECK-FOR-CIRCULARITY, but I haven't reverse-engineered
+ enough of the intended meaning of the different MODE values to be
+ confident of this.

+404: nonstandard DWIMness in LOOP with unportably-ordered clauses
+ In sbcl-0.9.13, the code
+ (loop with stack = (make-array 2 :fill-pointer 2 :initial-element t)
+ for length = (length stack)
+ while (plusp length)
+ for element = (vector-pop stack)
+ collect element)
+ compiles without error or warning and returns (T T). Unfortunately,
+ it is inconsistent with the ANSI definition of the LOOP macro,
+ because it mixes up VARIABLE-CLAUSEs with MAIN-CLAUSEs. Furthermore,
+ SBCL's interpretation of the intended meaning is only one possible,
+ unportable interpretation of the noncompliant code; in CLISP 2.33.2,
+ the code compiles with a warning
+ LOOP: FOR clauses should occur before the loop's main body
+ and then fails at runtime with
+ VECTOR-POP: #() has length zero
+ perhaps because CLISP has shuffled the clauses into an
+ ANSI-compliant order before proceeding.
