* a port to the Compaq/DEC Alpha CPU, thanks to Dan Barlow
* Martin Atzmueller ported Tim Moore's marvellous CMU CL DISASSEMBLE
patch, so that DISASSEMBLE output is much nicer.
+* The code in the SB-PROFILE package now seems reasonably stable.
+ I still haven't decided what the final interface should look like
+ (I'd like PROFILE to interact cleanly with TRACE, since both
+ facilities use function encapsulation) but if you have a need
+ for profiling now, you can probably use it successfully with
+ the current CMU-CL-style interface.
* Pathnames and *DEFAULT-DIRECTORY-DEFAULTS* are much more
ANSI-compliant, thanks to various fixes and tests from Dan Barlow.
Also, at Dan Barlow's suggestion, TRUENAME on a dangling symbolic
* Some math functions have been fixed, and there are new
optimizers for deriving the types of COERCE and ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE,
thanks to Raymond Toy's work on CMU CL, ported by Martin Atzmueller.
+* (There are also some new optimizers in contrib/*-extras.lisp. Those
+ aren't built into sbcl-0.6.13, but are a sneak preview of what's
+ likely to be built into sbcl-0.7.0.)
* A bug in COPY-READTABLE was fixed. (Joao Cachopo's patch to CMU
CL, ported to SBCL by Martin Atzmueller)
* DESCRIBE now gives more information in some cases. (Pierre Mai's
patch to CMU CL, ported to SBCL by Martin Atzmueller)
-* The code in the SB-PROFILE package has been substantially
- improved, although it's still unstable.
+* Martin Atzmueller and Bill Newman fixed some bugs in INSPECT.
* There's a new slam.sh hack to shorten the edit/compile/debug
cycle for low-level changes to SBCL itself, and a new
:SB-AFTER-XC-CORE target feature to control the generation of
some things that I'd like to do in 0.6.x, in no particular order:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM:
- The batch-related command line options for SBCL don't work
- properly.
- A small part of making them work properly is making sure that
- verbose GC messages end up piped to error output.
- Make sure that when the system dies due to an unhandled error
- in batch mode, the error is printed successfully, whether
- FINISH-OUTPUT or an extra newline or whatever is required.
- Make sure that make.sh dies gracefully when one of the SBCLs
- it's running dies with an error.
-MUSING:
- Actually, the ANSI *DEBUGGER-HOOK* variable might be a better
- place to put the die-on-unhandled-error functionality.
-FIX:
- ??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-PROBLEM:
As long as I'm working on the batch-related command-line options,
it would be reasonable to add one more option to "do what I'd want",
testing standard input for non-TTY-ness and running in no-programmer
?? Do it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM:
- In order to make a well-behaved backtrace when a batch program
- terminates abnormally, it should be limited in length.
-FIX:
- ?? Add a *DEBUG-BACKTRACE-COUNT* variable, initially set to 64,
- to provide a default for the COUNT argument to BACKTRACE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-PROBLEM:
I used CMU CL for years, and dozens of times I cursed the
inadequate breakpoint-based TRACE facility which doesn't work on
some functions, and I never realized that there's a wrapper-based
??
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM:
- The :SB-TEST target feature should do something.
-FIX:
- ??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-PROBLEM:
I still haven't cleaned up the cut-and-paste programming in
* DEF-BOOLEAN-ATTRIBUTE, DELETEF-IN, and PUSH-IN
* SB!SYS:DEF!MACRO ASSEMBLE and SB!XC:DEFMACRO ASSEMBLE
