  • sbcl-1.1.18

    changes in sbcl-1.1.18 relative to sbcl-1.1.17:
      * optimization: COERCE is now more effecient for more cases when the type is

      * bug fix: properly pprint literal functions inside nested lists.
        (lp#1300716)
      * bug fix: more-correctly handle array-type unity (broken for ages, causing
        compilation problems since 1.1.13.x due to smarter TYPEP type propagation,
        reported by jasom in #lisp).

  • sbcl-1.1.16

    changes in sbcl-1.1.16 relative to sbcl-1.1.15:
      * minor incompatible change: improve read/print consistency for pathnames on
        Win32, by using the circumflex character #\^ as the escape character.
        (lp#673625)
      * enhancement: SB-EXT:DEFINE-LOAD-TIME-GLOBAL. (lp#1253688)
      * enhancement: Loading fasls with symbols from an undefined package includes
        the name of the symbol in the error message.
      * bug fix: problems when redefining classes and doing TYPEP on classes
        concurrently. (lp#1272742)
      * bug fixes to the x86-64 XCHG instruction:
        ** it was misencoded when used with RAX, R8-R15 registers. (reported by
           Eric Marsden)
        ** it was misencoded when used to exchange EAX with itself.
        ** the disassembler wrongly printed XCHG RAX, R8 and the corresponding
           32- and 16-bit variations as NOP.
      * bug fix: the disassembler outputs source annotations in the right place
        and no longer randomly drops some of them. (lp#1249205)
      * bug fix: fix commutative-arg-swap from introducing undumpable structures
        into code, prevent code with errors from being compiled. (lp#1276282)

        resolved.
      * bug fix: the deterministic profiler now uses ENCAPSULATE functionality to
        wrap functions around. (lp#309086)
    
  • sbcl-1.1.15

    changes in sbcl-1.1.15 relative to sbcl-1.1.14:
      * new feature: the iterative spilling/coloring register allocator developed
        by Alexandra Barchunova during Google Summer of Code 2013 is now merged
        in.  By default, it only activates for functions that optimize with
        (speed 3) and (> speed compilation-speed), but setting
        sb-regalloc:*register-allocation-method* to :iterative forces its
        execution.  The previous behaviour can be obtained by instead setting that
        variable to :greedy.  Thanks again to Google for their support, and, more
        crucially, to Alexandra Barchunova for her hard work.
      * optimization: make-array with known element-type and unknown dimensions is
        much faster.
      * optimization: make-array with unknown element-type is faster as well.
        (lp#1004501)
      * enhancement: sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die on Windows now accepts
        :application-type argument, which can be :console or :gui. :gui allows
        having GUI applications without an automatically appearing console window.
      * enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms:
        conservative roots must be valid-looking tagged pointers or point
        within a code object, not merely point to within the allocated part
        of a page, in order to pin a page.
      * enhancement: support for "Mac Roman" external format.
      * enhancement: encapsulation of named generic functions now happens without
        altering the identity of the function bound to the name.
      * bug fix: Windows applications without the console window no longer misbehave.
        (patch by Wilfredo Velazquez, lp#1256034).
      * bug fix: modular arithmetic optimizations do not stumble on dead branches
        with bad constants. (reported by Douglas Katzman)
      * bug fix: CLISP can be used again as a cross-compilation host.
        (Thanks to Vasily Postnicov, lp#1261451)
      * bug fix: run-program crashed with :directory nil. (lp#1265077)
    
  • sbcl-1.1.14

    changes in sbcl-1.1.14 relative to sbcl-1.1.13:
      * optimization: complicated TYPEP tests are less opaque to the type
        propagation pass. (lp#1229340)
      * optimization: [N]BUTLAST perform a single pass over the list. (lp#1245697)
      * optimization: EQUALP on structures with raw slots (double-float/complex)
        no longer conses and is faster.
      * optimization: RESTART-CASE expands to more compact code.
        Thanks to Jan Moringen. (lp#1249055)
      * enhancement: Top-level defmethod without defgeneric no longer causes
        undefined-function warnings in subsequent forms. (lp#503095)
      * enhancement: Better error messages for system errors on Windows.
      * enhancement: run-sbcl.sh is usefully handled by rlwrap.  Thanks to William
        Cushing. (lp#1249183)
      * enhancement: new function SB-EXT:ASSERT-VERSION->= accepts a version
        specification (multiple integer arguments) and signals a continuable error
        if the current SBCL version is lower (older) than the specification.
        (lp#674372)
      * enhancement: better ARRAY-RANK result derivation. (lp#1252108)
      * bug fix: EQUALP now compares correctly structures with raw slots larger
        than a single word.
      * bug fix: contribs couldn't be built on Windows with MinGW.
      * bug fix: Better pathname handling on Windows. (lp#922117)
      * bug fix: OPEN reports a more meaningful error when an existing file is
        opened for output with :if-exists :new-version.  Thanks to Philip
        Munksgaard. (lp#455381)
      * bug fix: DEFSTRUCTs with NIL as a slot name no longer cause strange
        CLOS-related errors.  (lp#633911)
      * bug fix: GC deadlocks caused by concurrent consing on Windows.
    
  • sbcl-1.1.13

    changes in sbcl-1.1.13 relative to sbcl-1.1.12:
      * optimization: better distribution of SXHASH over small conses of related
        values.  (lp#309443)
      * other improvements to SXHASH:
        ** use the whole of the positive-fixnum range for SXHASH of fixnums
      * enhancement: The error message when calling an undefined alien function
        includes the name of the function on x86-64.
      * enhancement: sb-ext:run-program now supports :environment on Windows.
      * enhancement: ASDF is no longer required to load contribs at runtime.
        (lp#1132254)
      * enhancement: when called with a symbol, FIND-RESTART no longer calls
        COMPUTE-RESTARTS, making it faster and cons less (lp#769615)
      * enhancement: FIND-RESTART and COMPUTE-RESTARTS handle huge restart
        clusters better in some cases
      * enhancement: SOME/ANY/other quantification higher-order functions no
        longer cons. (lp#1070635)
      * bug fix: forward references to classes in fasls can now be loaded.
        (lp#746132)
      * bug fix: don't warn on a interpreted->compiled function redefinition
        from the same location.  (patch by Douglas Katzman, lp#1042405)
      * bug fix: Create vectors of proper internal length when reading literal
        vectors from FASLs. (Reported by Jan Moringen)
      * bug fix: COMPILE can now succefully compile setf functions.
        (Reported by Douglas Katzman)
      * bug fix: run-program performs more correct escaping of arguments on

        actual name.
      * bug fix: (the [type] [constant]) now warns when [constant] matches
        [type] except for the number of values.  (Reported by Nathan Trapuzzano
        on sbcl-help)
      * bug fix: signal errors in required cases of slot-definition initialization
        protocol.  (lp#309072)
      * bug fix: run-sbcl.sh works better in the presence of symlinks on OS X.
        (thanks to Stelian Ionescu, lp#1242643)
      * bug fix: when given a restart object, FIND-RESTART checks whether the
        restart is active and, when a condition is supplied, whether the restart
        is associated to a different condition (lp#774410)

    changes in sbcl-1.1.12 relative to sbcl-1.1.11:
      * enhancement: Add sb-bsd-sockets:socket-shutdown, for calling

        (thanks to Elias Martenson, lp#1220084)
      * optimization: CHAR-EQUAL is faster for constant and base-char arguments.
      * bug fix: probe-file now can access symlinks to pipes and sockets in
        /proc/pid/fd on Linux. (reported by Eric Schulte)

      * bug fix: Floating point exceptions do not persist on Solaris anymore.
      * bug fix: (setf . a) is pprinted correctly (reported by Douglas Katzman).
      * bug fix: handle compiler-error in LOAD when it's not run from inside EVAL.

        (thanks to Stephan Frank, lp#1206191)
      * bug fix: sb-safepoint can now reliably handle signal interruptions of
        foreign code. (lp#1133018)
      * bug fix: the compiler-macro for MAKE-INSTANCE when emitting "fallback"
        constructors no longer fails to merge actual and default initargs
        (thanks to Jan Moringen, lp#1179858)
      * bug fix: the compiler-macro for MAKE-INSTANCE when emitting "fallback"
        constructors handles non-KEYWORD initialization arguments more correctly.

        standard.  (lp#1203585, thanks to Jan Moringen)
      * bug fix: silence a note from RESTART-CASE under high-SPEED optimization
        settings.  (lp#1023721)

      * bug fix: Parsing of &optional/&key/&rest arguments now never overwrites
        arguments during copying on x86 and x86-64; it may still happen on other
        platforms when there are more fixed arguments than stack slots.

  • sbcl-1.1.11

    changes in sbcl-1.1.11 relative to sbcl-1.1.10:
      * enhancement: support building the manual under texinfo version 5.
        (lp#1189146)
      * enhancement: Windows builds no longer display the "Kitten of Death" message.
        A warning is instead appended to the regular banner, and may be muted with
        --noinform.  (lp#728247)
      * enhancement: support building under new linker handling of syscalls under
        NetBSD.  (thanks to Robert Swindells)
      * bug fix: undefined function errors are now properly reported on PPC and MIPS.
        (regression since 1.1.9)
      * bug fix: (funcall (function X junk)) didn't causes an error when X had a
        compiler macro.  (thanks to Douglas Katzman).

  • sbcl-1.1.10

    changes in sbcl-1.1.10 relative to sbcl-1.1.9:
      * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 3.0.2.
      * optimization: stack frames are packed more efficiently on x86oids, which
        ought to reduce the frequency of Methuselahn conservative references (it
        certainly helps with gc.impure.lisp / BUG-936304 on x86).
      * optimization: on x86 and x86-64, integer negation forms like (- x) are now
        recognized in modular arithmetic contexts, and compile to native negate,
        rather than going through bignums only to keep the low bits.
      * bug fix: Compiling potential modularic arithmetic forms does not cause type
        errors when some integer types lack lower or upper bounds. (lp#1199127)
      * bug fix: Non-trivial modular arithmetic forms are always cut to the right
        bitwidth before being used in a non-modular context. (lp#1199428)
      * bug fix: Multiple catch/unwind blocks in a single function are now
        allocated in the right stack order on win32. (lp#1072739)

    changes in sbcl-1.1.9 relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
      * new feature: the contrib SB-GMP links with libgmp at runtime to speed
        up arithmetic on bignums and ratios.  (contributed by Stephan Frank)
      * enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
        functions, like LENGTH.
      * enhancement: clean.sh now also cleans doc/internals.
      * enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-SYMBOL-WITH-PREFIX can be used within ~// to
        print a symbol with a package prefix.
      * enhancement: The debugger and backtracing are more robust against buggy
        PRINT-OBJECT methods.
      * optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
      * optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
      * optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
        an indirect fdefn structure.
      * optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
      * optimization: (mod fixnum) type-checks are performed using one unsigned
        comparison, instead of two.
      * optimization: enable more modular arithmetic transforms in the presence of
        conditionals.
      * optimization: bitwise OR forms can now trigger modular arithmetic as well,
        when the result is known to be negative.
      * optimization: recognize more cases of useless LOGAND/LOGIOR with constants.
      * optimization: comparisons between rationals and constant floats or between
        integers and constant ratios are now converted to rationals/integers at
        compile time.
      * optimization: Smaller and faster DOUBLE-FLOAT-LOW-BITS on x86-64.
      * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
      * bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
        types.  (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
      * bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
        addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
      * bug fix: uninitialized type-error conditions can now be printed.
        (lp#1184586)
      * bug fix: tests for sb-bsd-sockets no longer use a predefined port for
        listening, allowing several tests to run in parallel.
      * bug fix: during disassembly to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* instruction
        prefixes as used on x86 and x86-64 no longer sometimes print incorrectly.
        (lp#1085729)
      * bug fix: Specialised SIMD-PACK types can be negated.
      * bug fix: Modular arithmetic is more robust. (incidentally fixes another bug
        reported by Eric Marsden)

        or double float precision on x87.
      * bug fix: Known-safe vector access on x86oids should not fail spuriously
        when the index is of the form (+ x constant-positive-integer).
      * bug fix: Remove GPL-licensed files from source distribution. (lp#1185668)
      * bug fix: backtrace printer no longer tries to create very large lists when
        the arg-count register is clobberred by other code. (lp#1192929)
      * bug fix: x86 should never signal an FP exception while boxing an FP value,
        a situation that lands us into ldb.
    
  • sbcl-1.1.8

    changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
      * notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
        ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
        rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.
      * new feature: minimal runtime/compiler intrastructure support for SSE
        SIMD values, as SB-EXT:SIMD-PACK. Enabled on x86-64 via the build-time
        feature :sb-simd-pack. This should enable intrinsics extensions as
        libraries, without patching SBCL itself. Thanks to Alexander Gavrilov
        for maintaining a branch for so long.
      * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
        the working directory of the spawned process.
        (lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
      * enhancement: boxed vectors (vectors of T or of FIXNUM) can now be
        stack-allocated on PPC.
      * enhancement: "fixed objects" can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
      * enhancement: WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS no longer conses on PPC/GENCGC.
      * enhancement: (sb-introspect:find-definition-sources-by-name x :vop) now
        also returns VOPs which do not translate any functions, and finds
        defoptimizer types ir2convert and stack-allocate-result.
      * enhancement: better type derivation for APPEND, NCONC, LIST.
        (lp#538957)
      * enhancement: MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of ROOM) now walks the
        heap in a manner similar to the GC rather than its previous ad-hoc
        scheme, and is therefore no less and possibly more accurate.
      * fixes and enhancements related to Unicode:
        ** the character database information has been updated to Unicode 6.2;
        ** support for canonical and compatibility decomposition of characters has
           been added, along with support for primary composition;
        ** support for Unicode normalization forms of strings (NFC, NFKC, NFD and
           NFKD) has been included;
        ** querying the character database for code points not defined by Unicode
           gives less wrong answers (lp#1178038, reported by Ken Harris)
      * enhancement: print intermediate evaluation results for some ASSERTed
        expressions. (lp#789497) (patch by Alexandra Barchunova)
      * enhancement: x86-64 disassemblies are annotated with unboxed constant
        values when there are references to (RIP-relative) unboxed constants.
      * bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
        of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
        (lp#1096444)
      * bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
        sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
        decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
      * bug fix: Loading a core with a discontiguous dynamic space now correctly
        computes the amount of dynamic space used.
      * bug fix: disassembler missing ",8" on SHLD
      * bug fix: backtracing through INTERNAL-ERROR signal handlers on systems
        that provide an "invalid" stack frame link for the signal handler
        itself now use the saved-fp-and-pc mechanism to pick up from the stack
        frame in the interrupt (signal) context.  This is known to affect
        threaded FreeBSD/x86-64.
      * bug fix: some LOOP statements couldn't be compiled.
        (lp#1178989)
      * bug fix: sb-sequence:dosequence works on literal vectors.
      * bug fix: errors in generic arithmetic show the assembly routine's
        caller on x86 and x86-64. (lp#800343)
      * bug fix: Compile-time type errors should never result in COMPILE-FILE
        failure. (lp#943953)
      * bug fix: Known bad local calls do not cause strange failures when
        emitting or dumping code. (lp#504121)
      * bug fix: Multiply-inlined structure constructor don't cause IR2-time
        codegen errors: type checks are inserted as necessary. (lp#1177703)
      * bug fix: Unsigned modular arithmetic is correctly converted into signed
        modular arithemtic (mostly to exploit fixnum-width VOPs). (lp#1026634)
      * bug fix: a combination of inlined local function with &optional and
        recursion no longer causes undescriptive compiler errors. (lp#1180992)
      * bug fix: sub-word BOOLEAN alien types now disregard higher order bits
        when testing for non-zero-ness.
      * bug fix: (CONCATENATE 'null ...) no longer fails for generic sequences.
        (lp#1162301)
      * bug fix: Type mismatch for the value of conditional expressions are
        correctly reported when detected at compile-time, instead of complaining
        about a constant NIL (similar for non-EQ-comparable catch tags).
      * bug fix: Referring to INLINE global functions as values should not result
        in a compilation failure. (lp#1035721)
      * optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
      * optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
      * optimization: On x86-64, the number of multi-byte NOP instructions used
        for code alignment is now always minimal.
      * optimization: On 64-bit targets, the compiler generates much faster
        code for type checks for types known at compile time that are smaller
        than (SIGNED-BYTE 64) or (UNSIGNED-BYTE 64) and larger than FIXNUM, and
        their COMPLEX variants.
      * optimization: On x86 targets, more uses of ALIEN-FUNCALL during cross
        compilation now inline the INVOKE-WITH-SAVED-FP-AND-PC dance.
      * optimization: ROOM no longer conses so egregiously on non-x86oid
        systems.
      * optimization: associative bitwise operations reassociate patterns like
        (f (f x k1) k2) to expose (f x (f k1 k2)).  Same for + and * of
        rational values.
      * optimization: quasiquote expressions now perform more constant folding,
        instead of consing equal lists at runtime. (lp#1026439)
      * optimization: local call analysis of inlined higher-order function
        should converge more quickly, resulting in better code for complex
        functions.
      * optimization: On x86-64, medium (word-sized but wider than 32 bits)
        integer constants are handled more cleverly, especially when they
        can be represented as sign-extended (signed-byte 32). (Based on a
        patch by Douglas Katzman)
      * optimization: IF/IF conversion should reliably result in sane code
        when (some of) the results of the inner IF are always false or
        always true.
      * optimization: On x86oids, variable right shifts of machine words are
        compiled into straight SAR/SHR, instead of going through the generic
        VOP. (lp#1066204)
    
  • sbcl-1.1.7

    changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
      * enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
        (lp#457053)
      * bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
        (lp#1049404)
      * bug fix: redefining conditions does not lead to multiple evaluations of
        hairy slot initfunctions anymore (lp#1164969)
      * bug fix: CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS now works for condition classes
        (lp#1164970)
      * bug fix: function constants now work as initforms and default initarg
        values of conditions (lp#539517)
      * bug fix: svref/(setf svref) on symbol macros don't crash the compiler
        anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
      * bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
        forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
      * bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function)
        "doc").  Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation
        of NIL for all other documentation types.  (Reported by Zach
        Beane; regression since 2e52fa05.)
      * bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
        should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination.  (Reported by
        Eric Marsden).
      * bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
        the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
        robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
      * optimization: LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.

  • sbcl-1.1.6

    changes in sbcl-1.1.6 relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
      * enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant
        fndb entries can be ignored by passing :overwrite-fndb-silently t
        as a keyword argument to sb-c:defknown (after attributes). Useful
        to allow defknown to be re-loaded. Use with :allow-other-keys t
        for backward compatibility.
      * optimization: compiler is much faster in compiling SVREF and (SETF SVREF)
        forms.
      * bug fix: Prevent a make-array transform from modifying source forms
        causing problems for inlined code. Thanks to Bart Botta.
        (regression since 1.0.42.11-bis)
      * bug fix: clear-output calls the correct gray stream routine,
        sb-gray:stream-clear-output. (lp#1153257)
      * bug fix: an error is signalled for an invalid format modifier: ~<~@>.
        (lp#1153148)
      * bug fix: Better error messages for package operations (lp#1154776)
      * bug fix: delete-package on a nonexistent package should signal a cerror.
        (regression since 1.0.37.44).
      * bug fix: accessing &MORE (stack allocated &REST) arguments checks bounds.
        (lp#1154946, lp#1072112)
      * bug fix: compiling make-array no longer signals an error when the
        element-type is an uknown type, a warning is issued instead.
        Thanks to James Kalenius (lp#1156095)
      * bug fix: SEARCH on generic (non-VECTOR non-LIST) sequence types no longer
        produces wrong results for some inputs.  (Thanks to Jan Moringen.)
