+* The system is now under CVS at SourceForge (instead of the
CVS repository on my home machine).
-?? The INSTALL file has been updated with some information
- about using anonymous CVS to download the most recent version
- from SourceForge.
-?? There's now code in the tests/ subdirectory to run the system
- through the clocc/ansi-tests/ suite, and to run additional
- SBCL-specific regression tests as well. (It's not particularly
- mature right now, but it's a start.)
+* The new signal handling code has been tweaked to treat register
+ contents as (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32), as the old CMU CL code did,
+ instead of (SIGNED-BYTE 32), as the C header files have it. (Code
+ downstream, e.g. in debug-int.lisp, has implicit dependencies
+ on the unsignedness of integer representation of machine words,
+ and that caused the system to bomb out with infinite regress
+ when trying to recover from type errors involving signed values,
+ e.g. (BUTLAST '(1 2 3) -1).)
?? The system now uses code based on Colin Walters' O(N)
implementation of MAP (from the cmucl-imp@cons.org mailing
list, 2 September 2000) when it can't use a DEFTRANSFORM to
CREDITS file.)
?? The debugger now flushes standard output streams before it begins
its output ("debugger invoked" and so forth).
-?? The two problem cases reported by Peter Van Eynde on 8 Sep 2000,
- (BUTLAST '(1 2 3) -1) and (MAKE-LIST -1), now work, and test cases
- have now been added to the regression test suite to keep them
- from appearing again. (This was a repeat appearance, alas!)
- As the regression test system gets more mature, I intend to add
- most future fixed bugs to it, but at this point I'm still playing
- with it.
?? The patch for the SUBSEQ bug reported on the cmucl-imp mailing
list 12 September 2000 has been applied to SBCL.
?? Martin Atzmueller's versions of two CMU CL patches, as posted on
