* new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information
about object allocation.
+ * optimization: more efficient complex float and real float operations
+ on x86-64.
+ * optimization: division of a real float by a complex float is implemented
+ with a specialised code sequence.
+ * optimization: MAKE-INSTANCE with non-constant class-argument but constant
+ keywords is an order of magnitude faster.
+ * optimization: MAKE-INSTANCE with constant keyword arguments is x2-4 faster
+ in the presence of :AROUND or non-standard primary INITIALIZE-INSTANCE
+ methods, and similarly for non-standard metaclass classes as long as there
+ are no methods additional on MAKE-INSTANCE.
* optimization: more efficient type-checks for FIXNUMs when the value
is known to be a signed word on x86 and x86-64.
- * optimization: (EXPT -1 INTEGER) is compiled into (IF (EVENP INTEGER) 1 -1).
- (thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * optimization: compiler now optimizes (EXPT -1 INTEGER), (EXPT -1.0 INTEGER),
+ and (EXPT -1.0d0 INTEGER) into an ODDP test. (thanks to Stas Boukarev and
+ Paul Khuong)
+ * improvement: less unsafe constant folding in floating point arithmetic,
+ especially for mixed complex/real -float operations.
+ * improvement: complex float division is slightly more stable.
* improvement: DESCRIBE output has been reworked to be easier to read and
contains more pertinent information.
* improvement: failure to provide requested stack allocation compiler notes
note being issued is now considered a bug.)
* optimization: compiler is smarter about delegating argument type checks to
callees.
+ * bug fix: SB-POSIX exports the documented types and functions
+ FILE-DESCRIPTOR and FILENAME, and also the corresponding -DESCRIPTOR
+ types. (reported by "abhi")
* bug fix: on 64 bit platforms FILL worked incorrectly on arrays with
upgraded element type (COMPLEX SINGLE-FLOAT), regression from 1.0.28.55.
(thanks to Paul Khuong)
anymore.
* bug fix: GENTEMP is now unaffected by pretty printer dispatch table.
(thanks to Alex Plotnick)
+ * bug fix: SLEEP accepts large integer arguments, truncating them to
+ SIGNED-WORD on the assumption that sleeping for 68 years is sufficient
+ for anyone. (reported by Leslie Polzer, thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * bug fix: compiler notes for expensive slot type checks could be emitted
+ at runtime MAKE-INSTANCE calls. (reported by Samium Gromoff)
