CL:DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO, and a generalization of the type system's
handling of the CONS type to allow ANSI-style (CONS FOO BAR) types.
+Larry D'Anna:
+ He provided several parts of SB-CLTL2 environment access, and has
+ also worked on bugs in the IR2 conversion stage of the compiler.
+
Alexey Dejneka:
He fixed many, many bugs on various themes, and has done a
tremendous amount of work on the compiler in particular, fixing
character database, restoring the FAST-READ-CHAR optimization and
developing external format support.
+Dmitry Kalyanov:
+ His work was crucial in bringing the Windows backend forward; he
+ implemented pthreads and ported SB-THREAD to this platform.
+
Yaroslav Kavenchuk:
He implemented several missing features and fixed many bugs in
the win32 port. He also worked on external-format support for
SB-ALIEN.
+Anton Kovalenko:
+ He introduced a safepoint-based stop-the-world protocol and greatly
+ contributed to features and bugfixes related to the Windows port.
+
Richard M Kreyter:
He added documentation support for CLOS slot readers and writers,
provided several SB-POSIX and NetBSD patches, and cleaned up
SBCL to bootstrap under Lispworks for Windows.
David Lichteblau:
- He came up with a more memory-efficient representation for
- structures with raw slots.
+ He repeatedly failed to update his entry in this file.
Robert MacLachlan:
He has continued to answer questions about, and contribute fixes to,
He made a lot of progress toward getting SBCL to be bootstrappable
under CLISP.
+Gabor Melis:
+ He mainly worked on robustness related to signal handling, threads,
+ timers with small excursions to constraint propagation, weak hash
+ tables (based on CMUCL code) and optimizing x86/x86-64 calling
+ convention.
+
Perry E. Metzger:
He ported SBCL to NetBSD with newer signals, building on the
work of Valtteri Vuorikoski. He also provided various cleanups to
Timothy Ritchey:
He implemented SB-BSD-SOCKETS support for the win32 port.
+Tobias Rittweiler
+ He has made several contributions relating to source locations,
+ pretty printing, SB-INTROSPECT, and the reader.
+
Kevin M. Rosenberg:
He provided the ACL-style toplevel (sb-aclrepl contrib module), and
a number of MOP-related bug reports. He also creates the official
floating point stuff. Various patches and fixes of his have been
ported to SBCL, including his Sparc port of linkage-table.
+Larry Valkama:
+ He resurrected the HPUX port, and worked on the HPPA backend in
+ general.
+
Peter Van Eynde:
He wrestled the CLISP test suite into a mostly portable test suite
(clocc ansi-test) which can be used on SBCL, provided a slew of
INITIALS GLOSSARY (helpful when reading comments, CVS commit logs, etc.)
