believers in ANSI compatibility and all, (1) there's no obvious
simple way to do it (short of disabling all warnings for type
mismatches everywhere), and (2) there's a good portable
- workaround. ANSI justifies this specification by saying
+ workaround, and (3) by their own reasoning, it looks as though
+ ANSI may have gotten it wrong. ANSI justifies this specification
+ by saying
The restriction against issuing a warning for type mismatches
between a slot-initform and the corresponding slot's :TYPE
option is necessary because a slot-initform must be specified
in order to specify slot options; in some cases, no suitable
default may exist.
- In SBCL, as in CMU CL (or, for that matter, any compiler which
- really understands Common Lisp types) a suitable default does
- exist, in all cases, because the compiler understands the concept
- of functions which never return (i.e. has return type NIL, e.g.
- ERROR). Thus, as a portable workaround, you can use a call to
- some known-never-to-return function as the default. E.g.

bogus warnings about undefined functions for magic functions like
types manually, allowing the special case (VALUES) but still excluding
all more-complex VALUES types.

(SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE) output should start with something
including the name BACKTRACE, not (as in 0.pre7.88)
- just "0: (\"hairy arg processor\" ...)". In general
- the names in BACKTRACE are all screwed up compared to
- the nice useful names in 0.6.13.
-
- Note for those who observe that this is an annoying
- bug and doesn't belong in a release: See the "note for the
- ambitious", below.
-
- Note for the ambitious: This is an important bug and I'd
- really like to fix it and spent many hours on it. The
- obvious ways to fix it are hard, because the underlying
- infrastructure seems to be rather broken.
- * There are two mostly-separate systems for storing names,
- the in-the-function-object system used by e.g.
- CL:FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION and the
- in-the-DEBUG-FUN-object system used by e.g. BACKTRACE.
- The code as of sbcl-0.pre7.94 is smart enough to set
- up the first value, but not the second (because I naively
- assumed that one mechanism is enough, and didn't proof
- read the entire system to see whether there might be
- another mechanism?! argh...)
- * The systems are not quite separate, but instead weirdly and
- fragilely coupled by the FUN-DEBUG-FUN algorithm.
- * If you try to refactor this dain bramage away, reducing
- things to a single system -- I tried to add a
- %SIMPLE-FUN-DEBUG-FUN slot, planning eventually to get
- rid of the old %SIMPLE-FUN-NAME slot in favor of indirection
- through the new slot -- you get torpedoed by the fragility
- of the SIMPLE-FUN primitive object. Just adding the
- new slot, without making any other changes in the system,
- is enough to make the system fail with what look like
- memory corruption problems in warm init.
- But please do fix some or all of the problem, I'm tired
- of messing with it. -- WHN 2001-12-22
+ just "0: (\"hairy arg processor\" ...)". Until about
+ sbcl-0.pre7.109, the names in BACKTRACE were all screwed
+ up compared to the nice useful names in sbcl-0.6.13.
+ Around sbcl-0.pre7.109, they were mostly fixed by using
+ NAMED-LAMBDA to implement DEFUN. However, there are still
+ some screwups left, e.g. as of sbcl-0.pre7.109, there are
+ still some functions named "hairy arg processor" and
+ "SB-INT:&MORE processor".
138:
a cross-compiler bug in sbcl-0.pre7.107
leaving some filing for later:-) from the monster
EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
** made inlining DEFUN inside MACROLET work again
- ** whatever bug it is that causes s/#'(lambda/(lambda/ to
- cause compilation failure in condition.lisp
- ** perhaps function debug name quick fix, if there's an easy way
+ ** bug 138
* 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/
** perhaps s/DEF-FROB/DEF/ or s/DEF-FROB/DEFINE/
* global style systematization:
** s/#'(lambda/(lambda/
* pending patches and bug reports that go in (or else get handled
somehow, rejected/logged/whatever) before 0.7.0:
+ ** DIRECTORY problems (bug 139, CR patch sbcl-devel 2001-12-31)
