* minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and
SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor
of SB-THREAD:THREAD-ERROR-THREAD.
+ * new contrib module: SB-QUEUE provides thread-safe lockless FIFO queues.
* new feature: docstrings for local and anonymous functions are no longer
discarded. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
* new feature: SB-THREAD:SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD provides access to symbol
values in other threads.
* new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information
about object allocation.
+ * optimization: MAKE-INSTANCE with non-constant class-argument but constant
+ keywords is an order of magnitude faster.
* 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: DESCRIBE output has been reworked to be easier to read and
+ contains more pertinent information.
* improvement: failure to provide requested stack allocation compiler notes
provided in all cases (requested stack allocation not happening without a
note being issued is now considered a bug.)
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)
