* enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
supported on ppc/Darwin in addition to the previously supported
platforms.
+ * enhancement: the statistical profiler now walks deeper into the
+ call stack for more meaningful call-graphs and accrued time
+ reports (x86/x86-64 only). It also now reports time spent in
+ foreign functions.
+ * enhancement: it is now possible to trace most individual methods
+ of a generic function in addition to tracing the generic function
+ itself.
* bug fix: invalid :DEFAULT-INITARGS are detected in compiled calls
to MAKE-INSTANCE.
* bug fix: defaulted initargs are passed to INITIALIZE-INSTANCE and
produces an error. (thanks to Vincent Arkesteijn)
* bug fix: NAMESTRING on pathnames with :WILD components in their
directories works correctly. (thanks to Artem V. Andreev)
+ * fixed bug 125: compiler preserves identity of closures. (reported
+ by Gabe Garza)
+ * bug fixed: functions with &REST arguments sometimes failed with
+ "Undefined function" when compiled with (DEBUG 3). (reported by
+ Robert J. Macomber)
+ * bug fix: overflow during compiling of setting element of a bit
+ vector with constant index and value. (reported by Timmy Douglas)
* build fix: fixed the dependence on *LOAD-PATHNAME* and
*COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* being absolute pathnames.
+ * on x86 compiler partially supports stack allocation of dynamic-extent
+ closures.
+ * GO and RETURN-FROM do not check the extent of their exit points
+ when compiled with SAFETY 0.
* fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
** encoding and decoding errors are now much more robustly
handled; it should now be possible to recover even from invalid
input or output to the terminal. (thanks to Teemu Kalvas)
+ ** provided a first cut at implementing STRING-TO-OCTETS and
+ OCTETS-TO-STRING. (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+ ** altered the SB-MD5 contributed module slightly, changing the
+ interface just enough for it to be supportable for builds where
+ lisp characters are not eight bits.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** the FORMATTER-generated functions for ~V[ conditionals require
the correct number of arguments.
+ ** READ-FROM-STRING returns the mandated second value when applied
+ to displaced strings.
+ ** the #\Rubout and #\Backspace characters are treated as invalid
+ constituent characters by the tokenizer.
changes in sbcl-0.8.18 relative to sbcl-0.8.17:
* new feature: reloading changed shared object files with
projects / sbcl.git / blobdiff
