changes in sbcl-1.4.0 relative to sbcl-1.3.21: * minor incompatible change: DESTRUCTURING-BIND treats non-toplevel () as nested empty pattern. This seems to be what the standard mandates, so conforming code should not be affected. * ehancement: (GC :GEN 7) with gencgc will zero-fill dead pseudo-static objects so that they do not spuriously cause reachability of objects that would have been otherwise dead. * enhancement: PROCESS-STATUS now tracks stopped and continued processes properly (also fixes lp#1624941, based on patch by Elias Pipping). * bug fix: INSPECT handles errors signaled while printing slot values. (lp#454682) * bug fix: DESCRIBE works on classes like it used to. * bug fix: *LOAD-PATHNAME* and *LOAD-TRUENAME* are bound to pathnames when processing a sysinit or userinit file * bug fix: save-lisp-and-die is able to collect more garbage on non-x86oid gencgc targets. * bug fix: fixed out-of-bounds array read in optimized POSITION on bit-vectors * bug fix: signal emulation respects the 128-byte stack red zone on x86-64 macOS.
