      * minor incompatible change: the compiler will emit optimization notes
        related to complex type checks only at high SPEED optimization settings.

  • sbcl-2.4.6

    changes in sbcl-2.4.6 relative to sbcl-2.4.5:
      * enhancement: name conflicts resulting from colliding symbols in IMPORT and
        USE-PACKAGE are resolved once for each name, rather than between pairwise
        colliding symbols.
      * enhancement: calls to structure constructors with type mismatches in
        default initforms cause compile-time warnings.
      * platform support:
        ** fix constant-folding of %log1p and %log2 on 32-bit x86.
        ** fix the encoding of popcntd on ppc64
      * bug fix: EXPORT could be tricked into exporting two distinct symbols of

      * bug fix: two-argument calls to LOG with arguments of different precision
        do not lose accuracy through insufficiently-precise intermediate values.
      * bug fix: :NEWLINE options in *DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* are respected when
        opening files.  (reported by Marco Antoniotti)
      * bug fix: extend type declarations for the iteration variable of DOLIST

  • sbcl-2.4.5

    changes in sbcl-2.4.5 relative to sbcl-2.4.4:
      * incompatible change: attempting to pass or return alien structs by value
        now signals errors.  Previously, such attempts would silently tend to
        corrupt registers or memory; there is work in progress to allow such calls
        conforming to the platform ABI.  (thanks to Rongcui Dong)
      * minor incompatible change: function debug info is compressed only if the
        system is compiled with libzstd, rather than falling back to a pure-lisp
        compression implementation.
      * minor incompatible change: the compiler will warn in more cases when it
        can detect incorrectly-typed arguments to FORMAT directives ~C and ~R
      * minor incompatible change: strings are converted to a more compact
        representation if possible before being used as docstrings.
      * platform support:
        ** explicitly include stdlib.h where needed on OpenBSD.  (thanks to
           Sebastien Marie)

           Oliveira)

           reported by Yan)
        ** hang on startup under some terminal emulators on OS X 14.5.
           (lp#2067313, reported by Richard M Kreuter)
      * enhancement: when (> debug 1), try to find source locations for code
        expanded from macros that copy their input forms.
      * bug fix: the method-combination generic function caches were missing some
        of the generic functions constructed during the PCL build itself.
        (reported by Didier Verna)
      * bug fix: SXHASH on equal PATHNAME objects could return different values in
        different cores.  (reported by Luís Borges de Oliveira)
      * bug fix: spurious compiler warnings on SORT in some circumstances.
        (lp#2065609, reported by William G Lederer)
      * optimization: faster bignum addition and negation on arm64, x86-64.
      * optimization: faster type tests for (unsigned-byte X) for X being
        multiples of the platform word size, on arm64, x86-64.

        ** on win32 on 64-bit systems, clear x87 state as well as SSE state after
           an exception.  (lp#2000435, reported by David Scherfgen)
      * enhancement: type assertions resulting from declarations involving variable
        numbers of multiple values are now checked.
      * enhancement: support for memory allocation arenas is now available on the
        arm64 platform.
      * enhancement: the cross-referencing facility is now able to handle
        anonymous functions.
      * enhacnement: the SB-INTROSPECT contrib finds callees in methods of generic
        functions.
      * bug fix: inconsistency in VOP definitions implementing DPB.  (lp#2059842)
      * bug fix: MASK-FIELD miscompilation.  (lp#2059849)
      * bug fix: caching a state-dependent type function leads to wrong type
        inference further down the line.  (lp#2059888)
      * bug fix: internal consistency violation after failing to apply a
        MAKE-ARRAY transform.  (lp#2060083)
      * bug fix: check the array index before constant-folding an array reference.
        (lp#2060347)
      * bug fix: don't try to apply type constraints from SATISFIES
        types.  (lp#2060756)
      * bug fix: the JOIN-THREAD-PROBLEM function is now exported from the
        SB-THREAD package.  (lp#2063385, thanks to Benjamin Lee)
      * bug fix: compare-and-swap works as expected on SLOT-VALUE of
        FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT instances.  (reported by qhong)
      * bug fix: on arm64, and x86-64 with some non-default build options, integer
        rounding functions treat minus zero more consistently.
      * bug fix: disassembly of stack allocation of vectors caused a crash.
        (reported by bohonghuang)
      * bug fix: don't leak memory when decompressing a compressed core.
      * optimization: the amount of space needed for debug-info is about 50% less,
        leading to a total default image size reduction of more than 10%.
      * optimization: on arm64 and x86-64, encoding constants in machine code is
        sometimes smaller.
      * optimization: on arm64 and x86-64, list accumulation is done with less
        space overhead.

        without additional consing.
    
  • sbcl-2.4.3

    changes in sbcl-2.4.3 relative to sbcl-2.4.2:

        respects the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable (if set) as the latest
        timestamp to be used.
      * contributed module: the sb-perf contributed module, an interface
        originally by Luke Gorrie to Linux's perf, is now included by default on
        Linux.  (Thanks to Philipp Marek)
      * platform support:
        ** on Linux and BSD variants, timezone querying is now faster.

        ** PPC64: allow configuring the system with fasteval.
      * bug fix: erroneous transform of EQUALP on characters (lp#2055425)
      * bug fix: float rounders (FTRUNCATE and related functions) handle minus
        zero more consistently, returning minus zero as the primary value when
        rounding to zero from a negative value.
      * bug fix: type checks for (VECTOR T) were giving the wrong answer for
        vectors displayed to simple multi-dimensional arrays.  (reported by
        _death)
      * bug fix: do not transform away division by BIT when the BIT might still
        include 0.  (lp#2056184, reported by xizang)
      * bug fix: various errors related to imperfections in the perfect hash
        generator.  (lp#2055794, lp#2056341)

        not lose precision through a single-float intermediate argument.
      * bug fix: LOG to the base 2 of integer powers of 2 are more likely to get
        the mathematically precise answer.
      * bug fix: LOG on ratios very near 1 with numerator or denominator being
        near a power of 2 will use log1p and so will lose less precision.
      * bug fix: the utf-8 external format with Unix line-endings updates its

        to NIL when the system is started with the --script command-line argument.
        (reported by Hraban Luyat, thanks to Nicolas Martyanoff)
      * minor incompatible change: when looking for its core file, the system

        assesses argv[0] if /proc/self/exe is invalid.  (thanks to Philipp Marek)
      * minor incompatible change: the system no longer provides type names on the
        standard (CL) symbols ARRAY-RANK, ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE, PATHNAME-HOST,
