changes in sbcl-0.8.21 (0.9alpha.1?) relative to sbcl-0.8.20:
+ * incompatible change: thread support for non-NPTL systems has
+ been removed - locking is buggy and unreliable. A threaded
+ SBCL build will now refuse to start unless futex support is
+ detected in the kernel
* incompatible change: the top level REPL now has only an ABORT
restart associated with it, not TOPLEVEL and ABORT as it used to.
TOP and TOPLEVEL are now available as debugger commands for
are now more amenable to inspection by INSPECT.
* workaround for bug 354: XEPs no longer appear in backtraces unless
explicitly requested.
+ * fixed bug: receiving the signal which results from attempting to
+ write to mprotect()ed memory (SIGSEGV on Linux and some *BSDs,
+ SIGBUS on other *BSDs) on architectures where the C stack is also
+ the Lisp stack (x86 and x86-64) from foreign code no longer leads
+ to debugger confusion or wild instability. (reported by Cheuksan
+ Wang)
* fixed bug: COUNT and EQUAL no longer issue compiler efficiency
notes when operating on objects known to be SIMPLE-BIT-VECTORs.
(reported by Lutz Euler)
* contrib improvement: SB-INTROSPECT handles more of SLIME's needs
than previously; in addition, its test suite is now run on build.
(thanks to Luke Gorrie)
- * a more robust x86-64 disassembler. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * a more robust x86-64 disassembler. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: added a immediate representation for single-floats
+ on x86-64
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** MISC.564: defined out-of-line version of %ATAN2 on x86.
+ ** attempting to create a package with a colliding nickname causes
+ correctable errors to be signalled.
+ ** MISC.572-574: :START1 and :START2 broken for simple-base-strings.
+ ** several x86-64 backend bugs related to sign-extension of immediate
+ operands.
changes in sbcl-0.8.20 (0.9alpha.0?) relative to sbcl-0.8.19:
* fixed inspection of specialized arrays. (thanks to Simon Alexander)
