changes relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+ * DEPRECIATION: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
+ contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
+ * DEPRECIATION: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
+ SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
+ * new contrib: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to contain
+ additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming; at the
+ moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
+ implementation.
+ * new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
+ GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters. Also added
+ :TIMEOUT argument to GRAB-MUTEX on non-sb-lutex platforms like Linux and
+ BSD.
+ * new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
+ SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
+ SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.
+ * new feature: a CANCEL-DEADLINE is associated with DEADLINE-TIMEOUT
+ conditions to defer the deadline for forever.
+ * enhancement: *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *STANDARD-INPUT*, and *ERROR-OUTPUT* are
+ now bivalent.
+ * enhancement: errors from NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD and
+ NO-PRIMARY-METHOD now have a RETRY restart available to retry the
+ generic function call.
+ * enhancement: SB-BSD-SOCKET improvements
+ ** sockets and socket streams now have a more informative printed
+ representation based on the corresponding SOCKET-NAME and
+ SOCKET-PEERNAME.
+ ** SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM once more supports the :AUTO-CLOSE option.
+ (lp#540413)
+ * improvements to the instrumenting profiler
+ ** new feature: report per-function GC overhead. (thanks to John Fremlin)
+ ** optimization: counters no longer use locks for the overflow mode.
+ ** bug fix: whenever a profiling counter wrapped into overflow mode, it
+ incurred an off-by-one miscount.
+ * bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
+ * bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
+ * bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
+ to timeouts could be left in an inconsistent state.
+ * bug fix: fix typo in "Reporting Bugs" section of the manual (lp#520366)
+ * bug fix: misoptimization of multiplication by one in
+ (SB-C::FLOAT-ACCURACY 0) policies.
+ * bug fix: miscounts in SB-PROFILE.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
* enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
stack frame thrown from.
+ * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
+ compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
+ * enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
+ translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
+ Weber)
+ * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
+ constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
+ access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
+ * optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
+ storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
+ for accessing such arrays.
+ * optimization: passing NIL as the environment argument to TYPEP no longer
+ inhibits optimizing it. (lp#309788)
+ * optimization: more efficient register usage when handling single-float
+ arguments on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: ADJUST-ARRAY and STABLE-SORT on vectors no longer use
+ pre-allocated temporary vectors. (lp#496249)
* bug fix: Fix compiler error involving MAKE-ARRAY and IF forms
in :INITIAL-CONTENTS. (lp#523612)
* bug fix: FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION lost declarations from interpreted
functions. (lp#524707)
* bug fix: bogus style warnings from certain (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
WITH-SLOTS usages during compilation.
+ * bug fix: SB-C::CLASS-INFO now prints correctly. (lp#514762)
+ * enhancement: Can now build with ud2 instead of int3 as trap instruction on
+ all x86oid platforms with :UD2-BREAKPOINTS target feature.
+ * bug fix: Breakpoints now work when using ud2 instead of int3 as trap
+ instruction (tested on x86oid linux with ud2-breakpoints).
+ * bug fix: slam.sh now works on win32.
+ * bug fix: better differences of numeric types. (lp#309124)
+ * bug fix: arrays declared intersection and union types can have their
+ upgraded element type derived. (lp#316078)
+ * bug fix: SB-SPROF allocation profiling for all threads failed to profile
+ threads started during profiling. (lp#472499)
+ * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT test failure when building without SB-EVAL feature.
+ (lp#535658)
+ * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:DECLARATION-INFORMATION did not take
+ SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY into account. (lp#313337)
+ * bug fix: Comma inside a backquoted array or structure resulted in nonsense
+ values instead of signaling an error. (lp#309093)
+ * bug fix: Spurious unused variable warning in a DEFSTRUCT edge case.
+ (lp#528807)
+ * bug fix: More consistent warnings and notes for ignored DYNAMIC-EXTENT
+ declarations (lp#497321)
+ * bug fix: FIND and POSITION on lists did not check sequence bounds properly
+ and failed to detect circular lists (lp#452008)
+ * bug fix: leakage from ~/.asdf-install into the ASDf-INSTALL contrib build
+ (lp#538974)
+ * bug fix: LOOP OF-TYPE VECTOR compile-time error. (lp#540186)
+ * bug fix: SIGNAL SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT before entering the debugger
+ due to it, so that handlers can run.
+ * bug fix: reparsing undefined types if they have become defined since
+ parsing. (lp#309128)
+ * bug fix: missing &REST type in a proclamation for a function with both
+ &REST and &KEY in lambda-list caused miscompilation (lp#458354)
+ * bug fix: WHO-CALLS information for source-transformed and compiler-macro
+ expanded calls (lp#542174)
+ * bug fix: more accurate WHO-MACROEXPANDS information; point into rather
+ than just at toplevel form.
