debian/1.0.34.0-1.1

Debian release 1:1.0.34.0-1.1

sbcl.1.0.39

sbcl_1_0_39

changes in sbcl-1.0.39 relative to sbcl-1.0.38:
  * bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64 now show
    the calling frame.
  * bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow their
    space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they are written out
    of order).
  * bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on non-x86oid
    platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale pointers on the control
    stack in subsequent GCs (which would, and does, break invariants).
  * bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
  * bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than about 32767
    now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
  * bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and conversions) in the
    high order bits are explicitly cleared out. In some contrived situations,
    this could lead to wrong results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
  * bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when building with
    clisp.  (lp#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
  * new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to Josh
    Elsasser).
  * bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.

sbcl.1.0.38

sbcl_1_0_38

changes in sbcl-1.0.38 relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
  * incompatible change: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
    like for any other thread-related datastructure, MUTEX, etc. (lp#547095)
  * deprecation: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
    contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
  * deprecation: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
    SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
  * new contributed module: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to
    contain additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming;
    at the moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
    implementation.
  * new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
    GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters.  Also added
    :TIMEOUT argument to GRAB-MUTEX on non-sb-lutex platforms like Linux and
    BSD.
  * new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
    SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
  * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
    SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.
  * new feature: a CANCEL-DEADLINE is associated with DEADLINE-TIMEOUT
    conditions to defer the deadline for forever.
  * enhancement: *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *STANDARD-INPUT*, and *ERROR-OUTPUT* are
    now bivalent.
  * enhancement: errors from NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD and
    NO-PRIMARY-METHOD now have a RETRY restart available to retry the
    generic function call.
  * enhancement: SB-BSD-SOCKET improvements
    ** sockets and socket streams now have a more informative printed
       representation based on the corresponding SOCKET-NAME and
       SOCKET-PEERNAME.
    ** SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM once more supports the :AUTO-CLOSE option.
       (lp#540413)
    ** SOCKET-CLOSE now accepts :ABORT argument, which is passed on to
       CL:CLOSE when appropriate, and no longer disassociates the stream
       from the socket if close failed. (lp#543951)
  * improvements to the instrumenting profiler
    ** new feature: report per-function GC overhead. (thanks to John Fremlin)
    ** optimization: counters no longer use locks for the overflow mode.
    ** bug fix: whenever a profiling counter wrapped into overflow mode, it
       incurred an off-by-one miscount.
  * enhancement: improved MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation (lp#543473)
  * enhancement: improved DEFMETHOD pretty-printing.
  * enhancement: perform range reduction when arguments are too large for
    x87's transcendentals (instead of returning 0). (lp#327192)
  * enhancement: eliminate some spurious TYPE-WARNINGs. Should help with
    some of CL-PPCRE's macros. (lp#570079)
  * enhancement: our machine code is slightly less hostile to valgrind on
    x86-64.
  * enhancement: up-to-date versions of NetBSD-current are supported.  (Thanks
    to Robert Swindells and Aleksej Saushev)
  * bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
  * bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
  * bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
    to timeouts could be left in an inconsistent state.
  * bug fix: fix typo in "Reporting Bugs" section of the manual (lp#520366)
  * bug fix: misoptimization of multiplication by one in
    (SB-C::FLOAT-ACCURACY 0) policies.
  * bug fix: miscounts in SB-PROFILE.
  * bug fix: Fix lost wakeup bug between SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT and
    CONDITION-NOTIFY on Linux. See threads "lost wakeup in condition-wait /
    condition-notify" (Feb 2010) and "Condition-Wait, Deadline handler, waking
    up itself" (March 2010) for further details.
  * bug fix: allow forward FIND and POSITION on lists to elide checking :END
    against length of the list if the element is found before the specified
    END is reached. (thanks to Alec Berryman, lp#554385)
  * bug fix: errors signalled during package graph modification no longer
    block FIND-SYMBOL and FIND-PACKAGE in other threads. (lp#511072)
  * bug fix: SB-POSIX build was broken when SBCL was compiled without the
    :SB-DOC feature. (lp#552564)
  * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT build issues on GENGC/PPC. (lp#490490)
  * bug fix: more robust runtime executable path detection. (lp#375549)
  * bug fix: GCD always returns positive values. (lp#413680)
  * bug fix: Converting division to multiplication by reciprocal handles
    denormals.
  * bug fix: We were too eager in eliding range reduction tests on x87.
    The maximal magnitude is 2^63, not 2^64.
  * bug fix: Transforms for TRUNCATE don't die when the result is completely
    ignored anymore.
  * bug fix: Maybe restore buildability on Alpha.
  * bug fix: READ-BYTE isn't inline anymore, fixing weird streams failures.
    (lp#569404)
  * bug fix: RANDOM-STATE can be printed readably again.
  * bug fix: Unreadable objects were sometimes printed like #<\nFoo>.
  * bug fix: Using EQL with non-constant values of constant type (e.g. EQL
    types) could result in type mismatches during compilation.

sbcl.1.0.37

sbcl_1_0_37

changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
  * enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
    stack frame thrown from.
  * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
    compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
  * enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
    translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
    Weber)
  * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
    constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
    access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
  * optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
    storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
    for accessing such arrays.
  * optimization: passing NIL as the environment argument to TYPEP no longer
    inhibits optimizing it. (lp#309788)
  * optimization: more efficient register usage when handling single-float
    arguments on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
  * optimization: ADJUST-ARRAY and STABLE-SORT on vectors no longer use
    pre-allocated temporary vectors. (lp#496249)
  * bug fix: Fix compiler error involving MAKE-ARRAY and IF forms
    in :INITIAL-CONTENTS. (lp#523612)
  * bug fix: FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION lost declarations from interpreted
    functions. (lp#524707)
  * bug fix: bogus style warnings from certain (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
    WITH-SLOTS usages during compilation.
  * bug fix: SB-C::CLASS-INFO now prints correctly. (lp#514762)
  * enhancement: Can now build with ud2 instead of int3 as trap instruction on
    all x86oid platforms with :UD2-BREAKPOINTS target feature.
  * bug fix: Breakpoints now work when using ud2 instead of int3 as trap
    instruction (tested on x86oid linux with ud2-breakpoints).
  * bug fix: slam.sh now works on win32.
  * bug fix: better differences of numeric types. (lp#309124)
  * bug fix: arrays declared intersection and union types can have their
    upgraded element type derived. (lp#316078)
  * bug fix: SB-SPROF allocation profiling for all threads failed to profile
    threads started during profiling. (lp#472499)
  * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT test failure when building without SB-EVAL feature.
    (lp#535658)
  * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:DECLARATION-INFORMATION did not take
    SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY into account. (lp#313337)
  * bug fix: Comma inside a backquoted array or structure resulted in nonsense
    values instead of signaling an error. (lp#309093)
  * bug fix: Spurious unused variable warning in a DEFSTRUCT edge case.
    (lp#528807)
  * bug fix: More consistent warnings and notes for ignored DYNAMIC-EXTENT
    declarations (lp#497321)
  * bug fix: FIND and POSITION on lists did not check sequence bounds properly
    and failed to detect circular lists (lp#452008)
  * bug fix: leakage from ~/.asdf-install into the ASDf-INSTALL contrib build
    (lp#538974)
  * bug fix: LOOP OF-TYPE VECTOR compile-time error. (lp#540186)
  * bug fix: SIGNAL SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT before entering the debugger
    due to it, so that handlers can run.
  * bug fix: reparsing undefined types if they have become defined since
    parsing. (lp#309128)
  * bug fix: missing &REST type in a proclamation for a function with both
    &REST and &KEY in lambda-list caused miscompilation (lp#458354)
  * bug fix: WHO-CALLS information for source-transformed and compiler-macro
    expanded calls (lp#542174)
  * bug fix: more accurate WHO-MACROEXPANDS information; point into rather
    than just at toplevel form.

sbcl.1.0.36

sbcl_1_0_36

changes in sbcl-1.0.36 relative to sbcl-1.0.35:
  * new feature: SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-1, SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND, and
    SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-ALL behave exactly like their MACROEXPAND counterparts
    but work on type specifiers.
  * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINED-TYPE-NAME-P returns whether a symbol is known
    to name a type specifier.
  * new feature: SB-EXT:VALID-TYPE-SPECIFIER-P returns whether a given type
    specifier is valid where "valid" basically means "would be accepted as
    second argument of TYPEP".
  * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-TYPE takes a function-designator and
    returns the function's declared, or derived FTYPE.
  * new feature: SB-POSIX now supports accessing the d_ino member of
    dirent structures.  (Thanks to Philipp Marek and Pierre THEIRRY)
  * new feature: The function SB-EXT:SEED-RANDOM-STATE has been added to
    provide for seeding a RANDOM-STATE object with user-provided data or
    from the operating system's PRNG.  Also, (MAKE-RANDOM-STATE T) will
    attempt to initialize the returned state from the operating system's
    PRNG where possible.  (Thanks to Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#310116)
  * bug fix: Fix SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS:READ-VECTOR to correctly set the
    FILE-POSITION of the stream being read from.  (launchpad bug lp#491087)
  * bug fix: Fix grammar and style issues for the docstrings of
    printer-related variables and functions.  (Thanks to mon_key; launchpad
    bug lp#518696)
  * bug fix: Fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
    Bruce O'Neel.
  * bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT sometimes signaled a deadline twice
    in a row even though a handler defered the deadline long into the
    future. (lp#512914)
  * bug fix: A deadline handler was run without interrupts enabled for a
    deadline signaled within SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT. That could result
    in infinitely spinning, non-killable threads.
  * bug fix: Backtrace from internal-errors on x86-64 os x was truncated
    before reaching the erring stack frame.
  * bug fix: Fix type derivation for EXPT when raising a fixnum to a
    real power.  (launchpad bug lp#525949)
  * bug fix: Fix SB-EXT:GENERATION-* accessors for generations > 0 on
    GENCGC platforms.  (launchpad bug lp#529014)

    (Thanks to Robert Goldman)

sbcl.1.0.35

sbcl_1_0_35

changes in sbcl-1.0.35 relative to sbcl-1.0.34:
  * optimization: ROUND with a single single-float or double-float argument
    is properly inlined when possible.
  * optimization: Slightly better code is generated for integer<->float
    conversions and for single-float<->double-float conversions on x86-64.
  * optimization: SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE now generates more efficient
    code for 32-bit and 64-bit rotations on x86-64.
  * bug fix: The install script changes the ownership of directories as well
    as files for contrib modules using asdf.  (thanks to Eugene Ossintsev;
    launchpad bug lp#508485)
  * bug fix: TRUNCATE with a single single-float or double-float argument is
    properly inlined when possible.  (launchpad bug lp#489388)
  * bug fix: Passing a rotation count of zero to SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE
    no longer causes a compiler error on x86 and ppc.
  * bug fix: GET-MACRO-CHARACTER bogusly computed its second return value
    always relative to *READTABLE* rather than the passed argument.

sbcl.1.0.34

sbcl_1_0_34

changes in sbcl-1.0.34 relative to sbcl-1.0.33:
  * minor incompatible change: threading support is now enabled by default
    on x86[-64] Linux.
  * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:DEFTYPE-LAMBDA-LIST now also works on most
    builtin types.
  * enhancement: Errors during compile-time-too processing (i.e. EVAL-WHEN)
    are now caught and reported just like errors during macroexpansion.
  * enhancement: SB-POSIX now provides access to tcdrain(), tcflow(),
    tcflush(), tcgetsid(), and tcsendbreak(). (thanks to Jerry James)
  * enhancement: ASDF systems can now depends on SB-QUEUE.
  * fixes and improvements related to Unicode and external formats:
    ** bug fix: error handling and restart usage in the ucs-2 external format
       has been improved.
    ** there is now an implementation of the ucs-4 external format.
    ** the utf-16 and utf-32 external formats are supported.
  * bug fix: SB-POSIX wrapper for putenv no longer tries to put lisp strings
    in the environment. setenv() and unsetenv() are also provided. (reported by
    Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#460455)
  * bug fix: LOAD of both .fasl and .FASL type files now forces fasl-style
    loading. This ensures sensible errors for .FASL files from other
    implementations on case-insensitive filesystems. (reported by Willem
    Broekema; launchpad bug lp#489417)
  * bug fix: #p"\\\\" can now be read without error on Win32.  (reported by
    Willem Broekema; launchpad bug lp#489698).
  * bug fix: some minor code rearrangements to reenable warning-free building
    from CMUCL (reported by xme@gmx.net; launchpad bug lp#491104)
  * bug fix: PRINT-OBJECT for clos instances respects the right margin when
    pretty printing
  * bug fix: FIND-PACKAGE & DEFPACKAGE were not thread safe. (reported by
    Attila Lendvai)

sbcl.1.0.33

sbcl_1_0_33

changes in sbcl-1.0.33 relative to sbcl-1.0.32:
  * new port: support added for x86-64 NetBSD.  (thanks to Aymeric Vincent)
  * improvement: support O_LARGEFILE access to files larger than 2GB on
    x86-64/linux.  (thanks to Daniel Janus; launchpad bug lp#453080)
  * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:WHO-SPECIALIZES-DIRECTLY to get a list of
    definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself.
  * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:WHO-SPECIALIZES-GENERALLY to get a list of
    definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself, or on
    subclasses of it.
  * new build flag: :sb-xref-for-internals; SBCL will collect xref information
    about itself during the build (e.g. for M-? in Slime), if this flag is
    enabled in customize-target-features.lisp. This will increase the core
    size by about 5-6mb, though, so it's mostly interesting to SBCL
    developers.
  * new feature: various GENCGC tuning parameters have been experimentally
    documented and exported from SB-EXT. See documentation for details.
  * fixes and improvements related to Unicode and external formats:
    ** the Unicode character database has been upgraded to the
       Unicode 5.2 standard, giving names and properties to a number of new
       characters, and providing a few extra characters with case
       transformations.
    ** improvement: restarts for providing replacement input/output on coding
       errors for fd-stream external formats.
    ** improvement: where :<encoding> is a keyword corresponding to an
       external format the system supports, it is now possible to specify
       (:<encoding> :replacement <character>) as an external format which will
       automatically substitute <character> on encoding or decoding errors for
       streams and for STRING-TO-OCTETS and its inverse.  (launchpad bug
       lp#317072)
    ** improvement: the file streams underlying the standard streams (such as
       *STANDARD-INPUT*, *TERMINAL-IO*) are opened with an external format
       which uses the replacement mechanism to handle encoding errors,
       preventing various infinite error chains and unrecoverable I/O
       confusion.
    ** minor incompatible change: the utf-8 external format now correctly
       refuses to encode Lisp characters in the surrogate range (char-codes
       between #xd800 and #xdfff).
    ** fix a typo preventing conversion of strings into octet vectors
       in the latin-2 encoding.  (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug
       lp#471689)
    ** fix a bug in the octet multibyte handling of decoding errors and the
       USE-VALUE restart.  (launchpad bug lp#314939)
    ** fix the bug underlying the expected failure in the FORCE-END-OF-FILE
       restart on fd-stream decoding errors.
    ** fix a bug in the ATTEMPT-RESYNC fd-stream decoding restart when the
       error is near the end of file.
    ** fix a double-error case in unibyte octet conversions, when the first
       use of USE-VALUE is ignored.
    ** fix bugs in handling of undefined code points in unibyte encodings.
    ** fix LISTEN (and consequent hangs in READ-CHAR-NO-HANG) on bivalent
       streams after an UNREAD-CHAR.
  * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also reports if the
    object is allocated in a boxed region of dynamic space.
  * enhancement: SB-POSIX:FORK now signals an error if an attempt to
    fork with multiple Lisp threads running is made, instead of going
    ahead with unpredictable consequences. (reported by Leslie Polzer)
  * bug fix: uses of slot accessors on specialized method parameters within
    the bodies of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS methods no longer triggers a type
    error while finalizing the class.  This fix may cause classes with slot
    accessors to be finalized later than previously.  (reported by Lars Rune
    Nøstdal; launchpad bug lp#473699)
  * bug fix: restore buildability on the MIPS platform.  (regression from
    1.0.30.38, reported by Samium Gromoff)
  * bug fix: inspecting closures is less likely to fail with a type error.
  * bug fix: no timer starvation when setting the system clock back.
    (launchpad bug lp#460283)
  * bug fix: WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX now binds *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* to the
    standard pprint dispatch table as specified by CLHS.
  * bug fix: give CLISP a hint about a type declaration to enable it to build
    the cross-compiler without warnings.  (thanks to Josh Elasser; launchpad
    bug lp#396597)
  * bug fix: correctly dump literal objects in defaulting forms of arglists.
    (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug lp#310132)
  * bug fix: distinguish in type specifiers between arrays that might be
    complex and arrays that are definitely complex.  (launchpad bug lp#309129)
  * bug fix: SUBTYPEP knows that the SYMBOL type is not SUBTYPEP the KEYWORD
    type.  (reported by Levente Mészáros; launchpad bug lp#485972)
  * bug fix: setting the value of a symbol-macro within a method in the
    presence of type declarations works properly again.  (reported by Iban
    Hatchondo; launchpad bug lp#485019)

sbcl.1.0.32

sbcl_1_0_32

changes in sbcl-1.0.32 relative to sbcl-1.0.31:
  * optimization: faster FIND and POSITION on strings of unknown element type
    in high SPEED policies. (thanks to Karol Swietlicki)
  * optimization: faster CONCATENATE 'STRING in low SPEED policies (reported
    by David Vázquez)
  * improvement: better error signalling for bogus parameter specializer names
    in DEFMETHOD forms (reported by Pluijzer)
  * bug fix: DELETE-FILE once again works on logical pathnames (regression
    since 1.0.30.49)
  * bug fix: LOGICAL-PATHNAME signals a TYPE-ERROR if pathspec is specified
    incorrectly.
  * bug fix: redefinition of a class via DEFCLASS without :DEFAULT-INITARGS
    removes previous default initargs (reported by Lars Rune Nøstdal and
    Samium Gromoff)
  * bug fix: correct WHO-CALLS information for inlined lambdas with complex
    lambda-lists. (reported by Peter Seibel)
  * bug fix: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE option :SAVE-RUNTIME-OPTIONS did not work
    correctly when starting from an executable core without saved runtime
    options (reported by Faré Rideau, thanks to Zach Beane)
  * bug fix: (SETF SLOT-VALUE) signalled a warning which should have been
    an optimization note instead. (reported by Martin Cracauer)
  * bug fix: WITH-SLOTS did not work with THE forms. (thanks to David Tolpin)
  * bug fix: Have RUN-PROGRAM with :INPUT T only run the subprocess in a
    new process group if it doesn't need to share stdin with the sbcl
    process. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
  * bug fix: SATISFIES could be misoptimized to refer to a local function.
    (reported by Stanislaw Halik)
