changes in sbcl-0.9.11 relative to sbcl-0.9.10:
+ * new platform: experimental support for SBCL x86/Darwin, including
+ MacOS X 10.4.5 on Intel.
* new feature: Unicode character names are now known to the system
(through CHAR-NAME and NAME-CHAR).
+ * minor incompatible change: the contrib modules SB-POSIX and
+ SB-BSD-SOCKETS no longer depend on stub C libraries; the intent of
+ this change is to make it easier to distribute
+ location-independent binaries.
* bug fix: as implied by AMOP, standardized classes no longer have
slots named by external symbols of public packages. (reported by
Pascal Costanza)
* optimization: calling functions via constant symbols -- as in
(FUNCALL 'FOO) -- is now roughly as efficient as calling them
via the function object as in (FUNCALL #'FOO).
+ * optimization: on x86 and x86-64, the calling convention for the
+ case of dealing with an unknown number of values has been altered
+ to be friendlier to the prediction heuristics implemented,
+ particularly with reference to CALL and RET pairing. (thanks to
+ Alastair Bridgewater)
+ * enhancement: CONSTANTP is now able to determine constantness of
+ more complex forms, including calls to constant-foldable standardized
+ functions and some special forms beyond QUOTE.
+ * fixed bug: occasional GC crashes on Solaris/x86
+ * optimization: x86-64 supports stack allocation of results of simple
+ calls of MAKE-ARRAY, bound to variables, declared DYNAMIC-EXTENT
changes in sbcl-0.9.10 relative to sbcl-0.9.9:
* new feature: new SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE keyword argument :EXECUTABLE can
