variables in the COMMON-LISP package, and will signal errors for
most violations of these type constraints (where previously they
were silently accepted).
- * changes in type checking closed the following bugs:
+ * minor incompatible change: COMPILE-FILE now uses the freedom
+ afforded (ANSI 3.2.2.3) to use derived function types for
+ functions defined in the same file. This also permits the system
+ to warn on static type mismatches and function
+ redefinition. (Currently it does not work with high DEBUG level.)
+ * minor incompatible change: VALUES declaration is disabled.
+ * When issuing notes, the compiler now signals a condition of type
+ SB-EXT:COMPILER-NOTE, and provides an associated MUFFLE-WARNING
+ restart for use in user handlers. It is expected that the
+ COMPILER-NOTE condition will eventually become a condition
+ supertype to a hierarchy of note types, which will then be
+ handleable in a similar fashion. However, at the moment, no such
+ note subtypes yet exist. (SB-INT:SIMPLE-COMPILER-NOTE exists,
+ but it's an implementation detail, not a classification for the
+ purpose above.)
+ * Changes in type checking closed the following bugs:
** type checking of unused values (192b, 194d, 203);
** template selection based on unsafe type assertions (192c, 236);
** type checking in branches (194bc).
- * VALUES declaration is disabled.
- * a short form of VALUES type specifier has ANSI meaning.
+ * A short form of VALUES type specifier has ANSI meaning (it has
+ increased the number of situations when SBCL cannot perform type
+ checking).
* fixed bug in DEFSTRUCT: once again, naming structure slots with
keywords or constants is permissible.
* STREAM-READ-SEQUENCE and STREAM-WRITE-SEQUENCE now have methods
outputs FRESH-LINE or TERPRI, and no longer converts its stream
argument to a pretty-print stream. Instead, it leaves any such
operations to DESCRIBE-OBJECT methods.
- * bug fix: APROPOS now respects the EXTERNAL-ONLY flag. (reported
+ * bug fix: APROPOS now respects the EXTERNAL-ONLY flag. (reported
by Teemu Kalvas)
* bug fix: NIL is now a valid destructuring argument in DEFMACRO
- lambda lists. (thanks to David Lichteblau)
- * bug fix: defining a generic function with a :METHOD-CLASS being a
+ lambda lists. (thanks to David Lichteblau)
+ * bug fix: Defining a generic function with a :METHOD-CLASS being a
subclass of STANDARD-METHOD no longer causes stack exhaustion.
(thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
- * increased compilation speed of long MULTIPLE-VALUES-BIND.
+ * fixed bug 246: increased compilation speed of long
+ MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND (and likewise of NTH-VALUE with a constant
+ integer argument)
+ * a contributed module implementing COMPILER-LET and MACROEXPAND-ALL
+ has been included.
+ * DEFCONSTANT now throws a condition of type
+ SB-EXT:DEFCONSTANT-UNEQL if it is being asked to redefine a
+ constant to a non-EQL value; CONTINUE and ABORT restarts
+ respectively change and preserve the value.
+ * fixed bug 63: The code walker, part of the implementation of CLOS,
+ is now better at handling symbol macros.
+ * bug fix: There is no longer an internal implementation type named
+ CL:LENGTH. (reported by Raymond Toy)
+ * bug fix: In macro-like defining macros/special operators the
+ implicit block does not enclose the lambda list.
+ * fixed bugs 10 and 43: Bare VALUES, AND, OR and MEMBER symbols (not
+ enclosed in parentheses) are not suitable as type specifiers, and
+ their use properly signals an error now.
+ * bug fix: An argument count mismatch for a type specifier in code
+ being compiled no longer causes an unhandled error at compile
+ time, but signals a compile-time warning.
+ * fixed simple vector readable printing
+ * bug fix: DESCRIBE takes more care over whether the class
+ precedence list slot of a class is bound before accessing it.
+ (reported by Markus Krummenacker)
+ * bug fix: FORMATTER can successfully compile pretty-printer format
+ strings which use variants of the ~* directive inside.
+ * bug fix: SEARCH now applies its TEST predicate to the elements of
+ the arguments in the correct order. (thanks to Wolfhard Buss)
+ * fixed bug 235b: The compiler uses return types of MAPCAR and friends
+ in type inference. (thanks to Robert E. Brown)
+ * bug fix: Reading in symbols with an explicit package name of ""
+ (e.g. '||::FOO) now works correctly. (reported by Henrik Motakef)
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** NIL is now allowed as a structure slot name.
- ** arbitrary numbers, not just reals, are allowed in certain
+ ** Arbitrary numbers, not just REALs, are allowed in certain
circumstances in LOOP for-as-arithmetic clauses.
- ** multiple class redefinitions before slot access no longer
+ ** Multiple class redefinitions before slot access no longer
causes a type error.
** (SETF FIND-CLASS) now accepts NIL as an argument to remove the
association between the name and a class.
+ ** Generic functions with non-standard method-combination and over
+ five methods all of which return constants no longer return NIL
+ after the first few invocations. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+ ** CALL-NEXT-METHOD with no arguments now passes the original
+ values of the arguments, even in the presence of assignment.
+ ** Functions [N]SUBST*, LAST, NRECONC, [N]SUBLIS may return any
+ object.
+ ** DISASSEMBLE works with closures and funcallable instances.
+ ** ADD-METHOD now returns the generic function, not the new method.
+ ** FIND-METHOD signals an error if the lengths of the specializers
+ is incompatible with the generic function, even if the ERRORP
+ argument is true.
+ ** TYPE-OF returns recognizeable subtypes of all built-in-types of
+ which its argument is a member.
+ ** DEFCLASS only redefines the class named by its class-name
+ argument if that name is the proper name of the class;
+ otherwise, it creates a new class.
+ ** SLOT-UNBOUND now correctly initalizes the CELL-ERROR-NAME slot
+ of the UNBOUND-SLOT condition to the name of the slot.
+ ** (SETF (AREF bv 0) ...) did not work for bit vectors.
+ ** SLOT-UNBOUND and SLOT-MISSING now have their return values
+ treated by SLOT-BOUNDP, SLOT-VALUE, (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
+ SLOT-MAKUNBOUND in the specified fashion.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.1 relative to sbcl-0.8.0:
+ * fixed bug 148: failure to inline-expand a local function left
+ garbage, confusing the compiler.
+ * fixed bugs 3cd: structure slot readers perform type check if the
+ slot can have an invalid value (i.e. it is either not initialized
+ or can be written with a less specific slot writer).
+ * bug fix: the compiler now traps array references to elements off
+ the end of an array; previously, the bounds checking in some
+ circumstances could go off-by-one.
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
