changes in sbcl-0.9.2 relative to sbcl-0.9.1:
* numerous signal handling fixes to increase stability
+ * Support for EUC-JP external format. (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
* bug fix: interrupt-thread restores the eflags register on x86
* minor incompatible change: we now correctly canonize default
initargs, making them be a list of (INITARG INITFORM INITFUNCTION)
* dynamic space size on PPC has been increased to 768Mb. (thanks to
Cyrus Harmon)
* SB-MOP:ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS now accepts a class as the
- :METACLASS argument in addition to a class name. (reported by
- Bruno Haible for CMUCL, patch for CMUCL by Gerd Moellman)
+ :METACLASS argument in addition to a class name. (reported by
+ Bruno Haible for CMUCL, patch for CMUCL by Gerd Moellmann)
+ * RESTART-CASE can now be wrapped around CALL-METHOD forms.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible; patch from Gerd Moellmann)
* bug fix: sbcl runtime can now be compiled with gcc4 (thanks to
Sascha Wilde)
* bug fix: more cleanups to the floating point exception handling on
x86-64 (thanks to James Knight)
+ * bug fix: the compiler does not try to constant fold calls of
+ COERCE and BIT-* functions when they return freshly constructed
+ objects. (reported by Nikodemus Siivola and Paul Dietz)
* optimization: improved the MIPS versions of generic (in the
generic sense) arithmetic routines. (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+ * optimization: direct conversion of (unsigned-byte 32) to floats on
+ the PowerPC platform.
+ * optimization: structure instances with raw slots now use less
+ memory, and probably show better memory locality. (thanks to
+ David Lichteblau)
+ * optimization: DYNAMIC-EXTENT declarations for lists and closures
+ are treated as requests for stack allocation on the x86-64 and
+ Alpha-32 platforms.
* contrib improvement: it's harder to cause SOCKET-CLOSE to close()
the wrong file descriptor; implementation of SOCKET-OPEN-P.
(thanks to Tony Martinez)
