-for 0.7.0:
+for late 0.7.x:
-* filed off the roughest edges (or, perhaps, at least hammered down the
- protruding rusty nails and snipped off the trailing razor wire,
- leaving some filing for later:-) from the monster
- EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
- ** made inlining DEFUN inside MACROLET work again
-* more renaming in global external names:
- ** reserved DO-FOO-style names for iteration macros
- ** finished s/FUNCTION/FUN/
- ** s/VARIABLE/VAR/
- ** s/TOP-LEVEL/TOPLEVEL/
-* global style systematization:
- ** s/#'(lambda/(lambda/
- ** four-space indentation in C
-* pending patches that go in (or else get rejected) before 0.7.0:
- ** Alexey Dejneka "BUG in nested backquotes processing"
- sbcl-devel 2001-12-21
-=======================================================================
-for early 0.7.x:
-
-* patches postponed until after 0.7.0:
- ** Christophe Rhodes "rough patch to fix bug 106" 2001-10-28
-* building with CLISP (or explaining why not)
-* urgent EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
- ** fixed bug 137
+* test file reworking
+ ** non-x86 ports now pass irrat.pure.lisp
+ ** ports with less than 256Mb of heap (sparc, ppc and mips)
+ now don't fail bit-vector.impure-cload.lisp
* faster bootstrapping (both make.sh and slam.sh)
** added mechanisms for automatically finding dead code, and
used them to remove dead code
(so that slam.sh will run faster and also just because
ideally everything would be in cold init)
** profiled and tweaked
+* fixed (TRACE :REPORT PROFILE ...) interface to profiling
* more EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
** made %COMPILE understand magicality of DEFUN FOO
w.r.t. e.g. preexisting inlineness of FOO
** used %COMPILE where COMPILE-TOP-LEVEL used to be used
** removed now-redundant COMPILE-TOP-LEVEL and
FUNCTIONAL-KIND=:TOP-LEVEL stuff from the compiler
- ** made FUNCTION-NAME logic work on closures, so that
+ ** (ideally, but perhaps too hard, given what I've discovered
+ about the godawful internals of function debug names):
+ made FUNCTION-NAME logic work on closures, so that
various public functions like CL:PACKAGEP which
are now implemented as closures (because
they're structure slot accessors) won't be so
nasty in the debugger
- ** %SLOT-ACCESSOR/%SLOT-ACCESSOR stuff can probably go away,
- since we inline expand all slot accessors into
- %INSTANCE-REF and the optimizer knows all it needs
- to know about that.
-* rewrote long-standing confusing error restarts for redefining
- DEFSTRUCTs
* outstanding embarrassments
- ** cut-and-pasted DEF-BOOLEAN-ATTRIBUTE (maybe easier to fix
- now that EVAL-WHEN does what it should..)
- ** incomplete manual
- ** :IGNORE-ERRORS-P cruft in stems-and-flags.lisp-expr
- ** weird double-loading (first in GENESIS, then in warm init)
- of src/assembly/target/*.lisp stuff, and the associated
- weirdness of the half-baked state (compiler almost but
- not quite ready for prime time..) of the system after
- cold init
+ ** :IGNORE-ERRORS-P cruft in stems-and-flags.lisp-expr. (It's
+ reasonable to support this as a crutch when initially
+ bootstrapping from balky xc hosts with their own
+ idiosyncratic ideas of what merits FAILURE-P, but it's
+ embarrassing to have to use it when bootstrapping
+ under SBCL!),
* fixups now feasible because of pre7 changes
- ** ANSIfied DECLAIM INLINE stuff (deprecating MAYBE-INLINE)
+ ** ANSIfied DECLAIM INLINE stuff (deprecating MAYBE-INLINE,
+ including e.g. on the man page)
* miscellaneous simple refactoring
* belated renaming:
** renamed %PRIMITIVE to %VOP
+ ** A few hundred things named FN and FCN should be
+ named FUN (but maybe not while dan_b is
+ working on a threads branch and drichards is
+ working on a Windows port).
* These days ANSI C has inline functions, so..
** redid many cpp macros as inline functions:
HeaderValue, Pointerp, CEILING, ALIGNED_SIZE,
os_trunc_foo(), os_round_up_foo()
** removed various avoid-evaluating-C-macro-arg-twice
cruft
-* added mechanisms for automatically finding dead symbols is
- package-data.lisp-expr (i.e. those symbols not bound,
- fbound, defined as types, or whatever), and used them
- to remove dead symbols
-* made system handle stack overflow safely unless SAFETY is dominated
- by SPEED or SPACE
-* Probably get rid of or at least rework the fdefinition/encapsulation
- system so that (SYMBOL-FUNCTION 'FOO) = (FDEFINITION 'FOO).
+* Either get rid of or at least rework the fdefinition/encapsulation
+ system so that (SYMBOL-FUNCTION 'FOO) is identically equal to
+ (FDEFINITION 'FOO).

out of scope. (However, it still might be possible to
determine that some or all of them are hopelessly stale
and delete them.)
