behaviour, and in particular no longer treats all memory as being
exhausted when many small objects point to each other in a deeply
recursive manner.
+ * bug fix: arrays specialized on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 15) are now
+ recognized as being TYPEP their class.
* optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the x86 backend.
* optimization: SEARCH on simple-base-strings can now be open-coded.
(see also contrib/compiler-extras.lisp for inspiration for
teaching the compiler about the Boyer-Moore algorithm).
+ * value, returned by MAX (and MIN) called with several EQUALP, but
+ not EQL, arguments now does not depend on compiler settings.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** in stack analysis liveness information is propagated from
non-local entry points.
** DIRECTORY on logical pathnames is more correct.
** CLEAR-INPUT, CLEAR-OUTPUT, FINISH-OUTPUT and FORCE-OUTPUT
signal a TYPE-ERROR if their argument is not a stream.
+ ** READ-BYTE and WRITE-BYTE signal a TYPE-ERROR if their stream
+ designator argument does not designate a stream.
+ ** OPEN-STREAM-P and INPUT-STREAM-P on synonym streams work by
+ examining the synonym.
+ ** STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE and FRESH-LINE on broadcast-streams now
+ work as specified.
+ ** OPEN and WITH-OPEN-STREAM allow opening streams with
+ element-type larger than ([UN]SIGNED-BYTE 32).
