4
* DEFUN("STATICP",.. had accidentally been included in a section
5
which was '#ifdef'ed out on nexts..., making it not be there
6
at link time: moved it to where it is always there.

Sun Oct 1 19:52:45 1995 Bill Schelter <wfs@jany.ma.utexas.edu>
16
* Many changes to gcl 2.1 to support 64 bit machines (eg Dec
17
alpha). Layout of structures etc changed.
18
* a gcl-2.2 beta was released in the summer.
19
since then there have been several bugs fixed. One in cmpfun.lsp
20
affecting write, and another in init_gcl.lsp to make sure the
21
link array is a string array (changed from fixnum which are no
22
longer sufficient to hold pointers).
23
* changes to fix for PA risc hpux in the hp800.h
24
* changes to unexec-19.27.c to allow MUCH faster saving in NFS
26
* testing with maxima 5.1
30
Sat Apr 29 08:48:06 1994 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
32
* Changed to release under GNU Public Library license. There
33
have been a number of other fixes including fixes to bignums.
36
Thu Jan 20 10:38:00 1994 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
39
* contains just changes so that compiles on solaris 5.2. The
40
623 version compiled on solaris 5.3, but the earlier 5.2 version of solaris
41
had some differences which needed patches. These are contained
44
Fri Dec 10 15:02:14 1993 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
47
* the check on string-trim for a list of chars is fixed.
48
Much earlier the (string-trim '(2) "ab") would run forever.
49
Then string-trim was broken.
52
Sun Dec 5 15:34:44 1993 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
54
* add solaris version: changes to several C files
55
and new version of sfasl for elf.
58
Thu Oct 29 13:20:17 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
60
* make sure the signal stack is 8 byte aligned. Needed on sun os 4.1.2
63
Thu Jun 4 06:18:20 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
65
* fix allocation of copy space during an sgc for relocatable
67
Wed Apr 29 09:02:59 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
68
*cmpnew/lfuns.lsp make load,open, error-set go through lisp
69
symbol, so users can redefine them (eg when loaded common lisp
70
condition code stuff).
71
* defstruct.lsp: put the conc-name in the current package,
72
so that programs can discover the package in effect when
73
the defstruct was done, in order to reconstruct accessors.
75
Sun Apr 26 23:28:42 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs@sonia.ma.utexas.edu)
77
* predicate.c: contains_sharp_comma handle non type t arrays
78
* co1typep optimize for the '(satifies fun) type.
79
* cmpinline.lsp, cmplabel.lsp, cmploc.lsp
80
inline-integer (set-loc unwind-exit get-inline-loc)
83
Thu Apr 23 15:09:44 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
85
* cmpenv.lsp fix function return integer proclamation.
87
Sat Apr 11 09:25:05 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
89
* numlib.lsp: changes to ensure double accuracy not lost.
91
Thu Apr 9 11:21:25 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
93
* log,exp,.. get more accuracy if given a fixnum[don't use short-float]
94
* cmptop.lsp empty keyword list bug (defun foo(&key) nil)
95
* many files add hooks for dos port.
97
Fri Mar 27 15:59:24 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
99
* (cmpinline.lsp) inline-args of a closure var which changed later,
100
signalled a compiler error.
102
Wed Mar 25 14:38:41 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
104
* (read.d) make read listen to when ':' is a read macro. in read_object
105
* (cmpfun.lsp,cmpopt.lsp): Fix optimizer for (typep x 'ratio)
106
* (predicate.c): fix equalp so (equalp (format nil "hi") "hi") -->t
108
Wed Mar 11 14:16:59 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
110
* (read.d): fix failure of (read-string "#b1"). Handle eof in
114
Wed Feb 26 21:38:04 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
116
* cmpfun.lsp change read-char optimizer so as to avoid
117
a C compiler bug on dec3100, which causes an unaligned access
118
on that machine in calls to read-char.
120
Wed Jan 29 08:30:09 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
122
* hp800.{h,defs} changes to run incrementally loaded text in a
123
separate segment (at 4zillion). Without this hp will only let
124
you run one image at a time. Unfortunately there will be a slight
125
degradation in indirect calls (which includes all calls between
126
user functions). Why do they need to have segments....
128
Thu Jan 23 17:01:37 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
130
* add some save and retore around the terminal interrupt, to
131
prevent some possible lossage when continuing from an interrupt.
132
You still may lose if there is a gc during an interrupt.
135
Wed Jan 22 19:08:11 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
137
* support for mac under AUX. Files mac2.h, mac2.defs [by weigert]
138
* misc small changes to other files for mac.
140
Sun Jan 5 21:35:21 1992 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
142
* new definitions for fplus and fminus in cmac.c The ones for
143
the 68020 were incorrect (since the changeover of the bignum code).
144
These were only used by maxima.
146
Fri Nov 22 08:39:42 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
148
* Change proclaim of function so to turn integer
149
proclained args into type T. It is not possible to
150
pass raw integer type since this would cause a problem
151
with gc. Also currently it would have generated C which
152
broke the C compilation.
154
Tue Oct 29 07:59:02 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
156
* add misc/warn-slow.lsp. If this file is loaded, then the compiler
157
warns of certain slow constructs, like undeclared arithmetic,
158
and slow array references.
160
Thu Oct 24 21:34:55 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
162
* funlink.c to handle misproclaimed functions better.
163
* big.c correct one source of "bad length" warning
165
Sun Oct 20 12:55:35 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
167
* gbc.c change position of where the C stack is marked from.
168
This is relevant for sparcs with the register windows, which
169
are dumped at interrupts.
170
* cfun,gbc changes as per PCL mods for turbo closures.
171
* read.d use 1000000000.0 rather than 1/ this , since it gives
172
more accurate value in read of float.
173
* cmpfun.lsp add hook for (typep x 'foo) so that can expand
174
this differently according to a property of 'foo.
175
* cmpcall.lsp, add a hook so that special code can be emitted
176
for calls where a super_funcall_no_event would have been emitted.
177
This code might be used where we expect closures (cf PCL)
181
Wed Oct 9 21:31:03 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
183
* read.d to make 0.7 and (/ 7.0 10) produce identical results.
184
when read (at least on 68k,sparc, rios).
185
We have left the default number of digits printed out as 17,
186
in spite of the fact that IEE has only 15.95 significant digits.
187
The reason is that correct rounding to 15 or 16 digits, will
188
commonly cause things like most-positive-long-float to print
189
in a form which is not even readable (since it is rounded up above
190
the most-positive-long-float).
192
Mon Oct 7 20:54:35 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
194
* fix LD_COMMAND typo in hp800.h
195
* fix replace_array to make the new array not live
196
beyond the call, so that gc won't accidentally mark two
197
copy two identical array bodies (so maybe overstepping the
200
Fri Oct 4 10:58:59 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
202
* close to work on already closed streams.
203
* make_pure_array arg fixed (num_log.c)
204
* estack_buf put in static area on machines like rios.
207
Sun Sep 29 12:43:54 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
209
* fix to relblock allocation in sgc_start
210
* fix for paths with "~/"
211
* change default pagesize on sun3 to 4k
214
Sat Sep 7 13:51:24 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
216
* fix bit-array-op to make correct call to si::make-array-pure
219
Mon Aug 5 18:06:35 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
221
* wt-cvars add declaration for VXXalloc variables
223
Tue Jul 30 16:48:09 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
225
* interpreted mapcar not gc protecting when given more than 2 args.
227
Sat Jul 27 12:32:35 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
229
* changes to subtypep to make (subtypep 'cons '(and t cons))
230
and (subtypep 'simple-array '(not vector)) correct.
232
Fri Jul 26 09:25:56 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
234
* change equal and hash_equal not to descend into structures.
235
A ruling in CLTL2, clarifies that this should be the case.
236
* alter get-setf-method and friends to accept environment as second
237
argument. Alter all the complex setf methods to pass the environment
238
so that local functional and macro bindings can alter the behaviour
241
Tue Jul 23 06:25:39 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
243
* sharing for fasd files for package operations was disabled.
244
Otherwise the symbol in a shadow would be shared with the symbol's
245
later occurrence in the file--It is still a good idea to put
246
package operations in a separate lisp file at the beginning of
248
* adjustable arrays brought into conformance with changes in CLTL
250
may now adjust non adjustable arrays, and the fill-pointer argument
251
to adjust-array does not change the property of having or not having
252
a fill pointer for the array.
256
Sun Jul 21 12:44:04 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
258
* fix cmac.c for maxima (error in dblrem)
260
* sloop for v on l by 'joe
261
changed to allow for the possibility that joe is a macro.
264
Wed Jul 10 10:45:54 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
266
* littleXlsp is included which provides an interface to some
267
simple X windows routines. It is not in the image by default
268
See the file lsp/littleXlsp.lsp for directions.
270
Tue Jul 9 16:29:23 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
272
* add VOL declarations for setjmps in format.c to allow to work
273
with gcc on the sparc.
274
* add stuff to cmplam.lsp for VOL declarations of &aux variables.
277
Wed Jun 26 20:59:04 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
279
* Change to gc mark of c stack to make sure register windows
280
are flushed, by calling recursively.
281
* add special bignum code for rs 6000 and aix 370
282
* fix for read suppress and the defstruct reader.
283
* Source level debugging improved (see doc/DOC and doc/dbl.el)
284
* Catch infinite recursion of proclaimed functions. Handle
285
segmentation faults on an alternate stack--so don't play around
286
to much after a segmentation fault before quitting to top level.
287
* support for hp800 (and hp700) added.
290
Wed May 22 14:54:29 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
292
* added new slot to struct stream, to hold the buffer.
293
gbc.c and file.d had been referencing the field in FILE
294
directly, but that is not reliable on att Sys V 4.
296
Thu Apr 11 17:04:54 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
298
* add conc-name to the s-data structure so users may get at
300
* add install_segmentation_catcher() and also in error()
301
(ususually arises from real segmentation faults), then turn
302
off sgc, if it's on, to avoid having the error handler stall
303
on trying to alter pages which are write protected (since
304
we are still within the memprotect_handler.
306
Thu Apr 4 08:37:50 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at max.ma.utexas.edu)
308
* If HAVE_YP_UNBIND is defined, added to c/main.c the
309
unbinding of the default yp domain. In sun os 4.1
310
we were getting a segmentation fault in _yp_dobind_soft()
311
on a restarted system.
314
Sat Mar 30 09:01:57 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
316
* Fix listen and clear-input (file.d and read.d).
317
macros LISTEN_FOR_INPUT and HAVE_IOCTL are defined in
318
att.h, bsd.h, and for the aix systems. I have tested
319
it under aix, sun, 4.3bsd, sgi4d and hpux. Not sure about
320
vannilla sysv (may have to be #undef'd there).
321
* fixed pathnames such as "~wfs/foo.lisp" to work.
325
Mon Mar 25 12:25:34 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
327
* Make sure that long float arrays get allocated on multiple of
328
sizeof(double ) alignment array.c,gbc.c.. Also unixfasl.c
330
* Add to Smakefile an initial execution of xbin/{machine}-fixes
331
if that file exists. Use this for correction of temporary bug
332
fixes, such as the bad sgi4d c compiler.
335
Mon Mar 18 12:06:26 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
337
* The structure of bignums and the underlying code was changed
338
completely. This affected many files including big.c,num_co.c
339
print.d, read.d, predicate.c, num_arith.c,.. See the file doc/bignum
340
for a discussion. The compiler was also changed to include
341
integer as a primitive type with storage allocated on the stack.
342
* A notion of deducing result type from argument types was
343
added to the compiler. Initially we are just doing that for
344
the basic integer functions, but it can be extended to others
345
* The optimization in cmpopt.lsp have been changed to allow more
346
flags to accommodate things like the result-type-from-args.
347
The compiler will normally warn (for the time being) if you
348
give it old style optimizations. Because of the extensive
349
changes to the compiler I have changed the default safety
350
for compiling the cmpnew directory back to 2.
352
Thu Feb 14 16:06:42 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
354
* debug.lsp, eval.c: fix break-step-next and break-step-into to pass
355
the correct environment back so that evaluating variables or
356
local functions will be done correctly in the debugger.
358
Mon Feb 11 16:24:15 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
360
* Fixed *break-points* function to bind the correct enviroment
361
so that variables will get the right values.
363
Mon Jan 7 21:21:22 1991 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
365
* make inline string adjustable (cmptop.lsp)
366
* multiple changes to lsp/debug.lsp and lsp/top.lsp
367
to allow source line debugging using si::nload.
368
* debugger largely redone. :bt new backtrace
369
function (:b still there). see DOC file
370
* add xdr-open xdr-write xdr-read to the si package.
371
* akcl 532 compatible with maxima 4-153
374
Wed Dec 5 01:49:50 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
376
* check_alist should allow nil, since the CLTL allows nil
377
in place of a cons in an alist.
378
* many changes to debug.lsp, eval.c and top.lsp to allow
379
source level debugging. The emacs file dbl.el was added.
380
It and the DOC file contain more information, but basically
381
there is automatic source display when broken in the debugger
382
(for lisp files loaded with nload).
384
Tue Nov 20 20:07:02 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
386
* Changes to all places where function assignments are made
387
to allow the hook compiler-def-hook, to be run. This hook
388
is used by the new source code debugger dbl.
389
* dbl allows debugging of lisp code with a display of an
390
arrow in the window opposite the line currently broken at
392
* The safety on the cmpnew files has been changed to safety 0.
393
Please notify of any places where this causes a problem! It
394
should result in significantly faster compilation. The error
395
checks should be in the source.
397
Thu Nov 8 05:31:34 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
399
* fix aix3_mprotect/mprotect.c [wrong calculation of overflow]
400
* fix memory_protect in sgbc.c
403
Wed Nov 7 09:56:30 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
405
* Change compiler-clear-compiler-properties, to take 2 args. This
406
is to provide compiler-def-hook, which lets you get the code just
407
before it is installed.
409
* Misc support for IBM 370 mainframe running under AIX. (u370)
410
* change malloc at startup to use some static space, since
411
the gc may not be initialized before some startup routines need
414
* fix to cmptag.lsp. Tags in cross closure tagobdies were sometimes not
415
being written out. (bug had been there forever). C compiler would
416
fail when the tag was not there.
419
Fri Oct 26 15:00:37 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
421
* change call_proc, the routine used to link proclaimed functions.
422
It was not incrementing vs_top soon enough, so that with args
423
(t t fixnum), with fast links off, the make_fixnum caused by
424
the last arg, might cause a gc which zeroed the vs stack above
425
vs_top, so eliminating arg1. Symptom was an <objnull> passed
426
as second arg. This could only happen when functions were proclaimed,
427
and had type not = t.
429
Sat Oct 6 08:08:47 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
431
* change assoc in list.d so (assoc nil '(nil (nil . a))) --> (nil
433
also change cmpfun.lsp in the compiler for this. (bug rep mccain)
434
* Allow #' in the (:print-function #'(lambda (..)) defstruct option
437
Thu Sep 20 19:05:05 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
439
* Fix cmpthrow in cmpcatch.lsp so that handles
440
lexical closures correctly.
442
* Fix cmpeval.lsp for incrementing a structure slot
444
* Fix cmpmain.lsp adding support for the floating point
448
Sun Sep 2 16:44:24 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
450
* Fix perm_writable. It was leaving out the last page! (Vignaux)
452
Mon Aug 20 15:15:03 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
454
* fix acos and asin in numlib.lsp (bug was (acos .5) was complex!)
456
Wed Aug 15 14:01:06 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
458
* to fasdump.c: close_fasd was munging the array handed
459
to it to cleanup. This could cause gc problems later.
461
* Several changes to gc. The alloc_relblock function fixed
462
to take into acount that rb_start - heap_end may not be
463
holepage anymore [since if sgc_enabled we have a second
464
`sgc' rb_start after the first]. We ensure that nrbpage
465
is actually the combined number of pages for relblock,
466
for sgc and regular gc. (alloc.c)
468
Tue Aug 14 16:04:19 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
469
* changes to sgc to the way memory protection is turned on.
471
* There may be problems with saving an image with (sgc-on t)
472
These have not been resolved, at least under rios, and perhaps
475
* many changes for aix 3, for rios
477
* for sgi, change the Init_links to come before doinit
478
* the sgi4d does not need the links stuff.
480
Wed Aug 8 21:59:37 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
482
* Change to h/secondary_sun_magic to make it have 8 characters.
483
* fix use-package so that allows using a package with an external
484
symbol, if that symbol is shadowed by the current package.
485
* Several fixes for sun os 4.1 (secondary magic stuff).
487
Wed May 23 11:47:34 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
489
* Make traced functions stay traced after redefinition
490
[change clear_compiler_properties, and its many callers]
491
* Fix two bugs introduced in trace.lsp when its functionality
493
* fasdump.c (fix coercion).
495
Thu Apr 12 15:28:49 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
497
* Change behaviour of proclaimed, compiled keyword argument functions, so that

503
* make subtypep (predlib.lsp) handle types of form '(not p) correctly. This
504
in turn influences compiler optimizer handling of (typep x '(not p))
505
* fix read (read.d) so that it allows eof to occur during reading of a semicolon

* fix c1values (cmpmulti.lsp) so that (values (truncate a b)) does just

Sun Apr 1 22:11:46 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
512
* make float-digits and float-precision return the significant
513
digits in terms of float-radix.
514
* If si::*print-nans* is not nil, then the C printing of Nan's
515
and infinity surrounded by #< > will be used.

Fri Mar 30 10:24:35 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)

* gbc.c, sgbc.c: displaced arrays have been a real headache.
520
(dotimes (i 5000) (make-array 1 :element-type 'string-char :displaced-to
522
would cause bad things to happen in kcl and akcl. I finally decided
523
that the link between an array and the array it is displaced to should
524
be made firm. If A is displaced to B, the user can always do adjust-array
525
on A to destroy the displacement. But from now on, as long as the
526
displacement exists then if B is marked this will cause marking of A,
529
Wed Mar 28 16:41:17 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
531
* cmpeval.lsp co1structure-predicate:
532
(defstruct foo a b ..) then foo-p was less efficient
533
than it had been in some earlier release.
534
Note:after (si::freeze-defstruct 'foo) you get the fastest foo-p,
535
since this declares the hierarchy of structures including
539
Wed Mar 7 13:30:57 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
541
* fixed copying of relblock in gc, so that if an array body
542
is allocated on C stack [the read_fasd does this for a temp array
543
it needs] then this array will not be copied. In some cases this
544
could have caused the copied relblock to exceed nrbpage size, which
545
is all that sbrk had provided.
547
* read-fasd could not be recursively entered from the lisp_eval calls which
548
were possible [from things like require or other package ops].

Tue Feb 27 09:19:49 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
559
* fix printing NIL relative to a package not using LISP.
561
Tue Feb 20 00:10:58 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at fireant.ma.utexas.edu)
563
* Add compiler::*split-files*, to allow convenient splittling of
564
large lisp files, for C compilers which can't handle infinitely
565
long C files. See doc/DOC file.
566
* Fix to fasdump.c. Broke when a .o file was loaded during compilation.
568
Fri Feb 16 09:11:08 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
570
* si::*load-pathname* is now bound to the pathname of the current file
574
Sat Feb 10 13:36:44 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
576
* Add the co1special prop check in c1symbol-fun, for fixing macros which
577
expand into declares in do, do*, prog, prog* (see also cmpfun.lsp)
578
* Fix level in c2call-local (bug report by harris).
580
Tue Jan 23 18:37:58 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
582
* change to siLreplace_array, so that the first word of the old
583
array header is preserved, so that in case sgc is on, the
584
array won't be marked SGC_RECENT, and so garbage collected if
585
there were no pointers to it.
587
Sun Jan 21 20:30:48 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
589
* Many changes to the compiler: Only defuns and defmacros are
590
compiled by default. A flag compiler::*compile-ordinaries* if
591
t means all forms will be compiled (use this for pcl at the moment).
592
See doc under compile-file.
593
* eval-when default behaviour changed to be in line with the X3j13
594
CL standard. See compile-file doc.
595
files: fasdump.c,cmpaux.c,cfun.c, cmptop, cmpwt,cmpenv, cmpspecial,
597
* some advantages of the new init scheme. Some files can be substantially
598
smaller, and there is more flexibility in writing out the init. Things
599
like closures which are constant, can be set in as constants.
601
Thu Jan 4 23:24:46 1990 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
603
* make sublis for eql equal and eq be substantially more efficient.
604
[list.d, and cmpfun.lsp]
605
* fix file_exists for AIX (stat returns 0 there even if file
606
ending in slash is not a directory (ie /u/all/bmt/.login/ would
608
* make boolean be a real type, so that we can distinguish between
609
calls to a function which want only a boolean reply or calls
610
which need more. An example is probe-file which can be 30
611
times faster when only a boolean reply is needed, not the truename.
612
This required changes to cmptype,cmpif cmpinline.
613
* add additional optimizations to cmpopt.lsp.
614
* fix vector-push-extend optimization [cmpfun, cmpopt]
615
* various fixes to sgc
619
Sat Dec 23 18:30:03 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
621
* Fix multiple-value-prog1 in cmpmulti.lsp
622
(eval-when (compile) (proclaim '(function foo (t t) t)))
623
(defun jil () (multiple-value-prog1 (values 1 2) (foo 3 4)))
624
(defun foo (a b) (joe a b) (cons a b))
625
(defun joe (a b) (list a b))
626
would have (jil) --> 3 4 until this fix. This dates from original kcl.
629
Tue Dec 5 20:22:58 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
631
* changes to alloc.c, gbc.c, page.h, object.h to allow stratified
632
garbage collection [SGC]. This should help systems with
633
a large amount of relatively static data. Only pages written
634
to since sgc-on need be marked and swept. See DOC file.
636
Sat Nov 11 07:08:27 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
638
* Add various va_end(ap)'s to match unmatched va_start's.
639
* add in some changes for hp300's faslink.
640
* add additional support for cmpnew/collectfn.lsp See the
641
documentation in the DOC file for emit-fn and friends.
642
Basically it is for getting proclamation info, who-calls info,
643
undefined info, from a pass of the compiler on a system.
644
* add additional undefined warnings for undefined lisp package
645
functions in addition to the list-undefined-functions.
649
Tue Oct 31 06:02:18 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
651
* add support of Iris 4d machine.
652
* Fix COERCE_VA_LIST for non standard machines, to
654
* Make sure defun, defmacro,.. clear the accessor property
657
Sat Oct 28 11:06:25 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
659
* remove an abort() from rel_sun4.c. This type
660
of relocation now occurs, and our method has been tested.
663
Fri Oct 27 23:01:42 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
665
* if the *system-directory* directory contains the file sys-init.lsp
666
then this file will be loaded at startup. This facility
667
is used for printing the warning message at startup, but
668
can be used for local modifications. Also by having two
669
system directories [via links and different commands]
670
different startups could be loaded. All this is in
671
addition to the regular init.lsp. The purpose of this
672
is to allow patches to be loaded, without requiring a
673
resaving of the image. [Recall the system directory
674
is the first argument to invoking a saved_kcl, or
675
the first part of the pathname if there is not a first arg
676
Typically it is the unixport directory if you use the
679
Tue Oct 24 20:23:56 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
681
* Add packlib to the unixport/boots file so that help*
682
gets compiled using the new do-symbols macro.
683
* Add alternate malloc.c file from gnu emacs, if you
684
define GNU_MALLOC. This runs much faster (15X) if you are
685
incorporating lots of C code with mallocs.
688
Thu Oct 19 21:28:25 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at nicolas.ma.utexas.edu)
690
* add si::fwrite and si::fread for doing io on file streams.
691
* Eliminate the need for the separate compiler file cmpinclude.h
692
This means that only one file is now needed for an executable,
693
and there won't be confusion over which cmpinclude.h goes with
694
which version. We store the file as a string, and write it
695
into the c files as they are compiled [if *cmpinclude-string* is
696
a string and :system-p t is not given to compile]. The time
697
difference for doing the extra write is not measurable, even
700
Wed Oct 4 23:41:17 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
702
* co1eql was causing a double evaluation
703
in some special circumstances.
706
Mon Oct 2 08:48:30 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
708
* Many changes to the compiler to support &optional, &rest
709
&key args to be passed on the C stack. This is still limited
710
to functions proclaimed to return one value.
711
* Allow user to grow the stacks from top level [see *multiply-stacks*
713
* Code for making proclamation files and collecting
714
cross referencing data in cmpnew/collectfn.lisp. This
715
is to allow a second compile of a system to take advantage
716
of information obtained in the first compile.
718
* read.d float read fixed for little endian machines.
719
* do,prog,prog* and do* compilation fixed so that declare's
720
at the beginnning of the bodies which are hidden by macros, are
721
detected and processed.
722
* :dynamic-extent declaration recognized to allow &rest
723
* proclaimed functions with one return value, will now be
724
compiled to use the C stack even if they have more than 10 args.
729
Tue Sep 5 22:15:23 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
731
* Change add-function-proclamation to be more efficient
732
when handed long lists of proclaims. Maxima for example
733
generates 3871 proclaims of functions. This now takes
734
4 seconds instead of 2 minutes.
736
Mon Sep 4 00:25:29 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
737
* cfun_to_combined fixed for t_sfun,t_gfun.
739
* ihs_function_name fixed for t_sfun,t_gfun
740
Mainly used in error handling and printing.
742
* compiled-function-name fixed to handle t_sfun,t_gfun
743
[this is used in the error handler]
745
Thu Aug 31 09:57:09 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
747
* fix reduce in seqlib.lsp.
749
Wed Aug 30 16:44:05 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
751
* change cmpeval.lsp,cmploc.lsp to make small fixnums
752
write out without the indirection through VV
756
---------Version 206-------------
758
Mon Aug 28 13:44:49 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
760
* cmptag.lsp:add-reg changed to handle dotted list case
762
* Added new types t_sfun, t_gfun of compiled function
763
objects to save space and speed funcall. See doc/funcall
764
for details. Many c files changed as well as compiler.
766
* cmpeval.lsp: made #, have the c1special property,
767
instead of c1, so these will compile properly on safety 3
769
* add si::set-mv, si::mv-ref, to allow people to implement
770
faster version of multiple values. Someday this way will
771
be the default [see doc/multiple-values and lsp/fast-mv.lisp]
775
Thu Aug 10 11:51:05 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
777
* Fixed prev fix to print in print.d so that ok if stream = t.
780
Mon Aug 7 10:19:11 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
782
* Support for HP300bsd (bsd from mt xinu) added.
783
* print fixed to add space after printing.
784
* describe modified to print more information on structures
786
Fri Jul 28 09:18:15 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
788
* trace.lsp Add keyword args allowing special
789
entry, exit, conditional and other handling of
790
traced forms. You can for example specially print
791
args, or break if args or values are inappropriate.
794
* c1decl-body: recognize safety level on first pass.
796
Sat Jul 8 15:21:42 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
798
* defstruct.lsp and read.d:
799
Fix patch_sharp to handle structures, and sharp-s-reader
800
to do its reads recursively.
801
Allows constructs such as #1=#S(joe a #1#) to work.
804
Fri Jul 7 13:40:45 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
806
* make sure the co1 properties are cleared when functions
809
Mon Jul 3 15:05:51 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
811
* Fix sharp-s-reader in defstruct.lsp and remove it
813
* remove =* and =- from gbc.c package.d
814
* fix c1value to behave correctly when one value supplied
816
* change #. and #, to interact correctly when called
819
Fri Jun 2 20:48:06 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
821
* sfasl.c gbc.c change error messages from using stderr
822
to stdout. Note the first file descriptor the user
823
opens is typically stderr, so these error messages (which
824
rarely occurred) did not appear on the screen but rather
825
caused resetting the file pointer of the user's stream!
827
Wed May 31 20:31:04 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
829
* package.d,symbol.d, packlib.lsp: Changes
830
to package hashing and intern. Allow flexibly
831
sized packages instead of insisting that all
832
internal and external packages use table with 512 elts.
833
I recommend a prime number as size. The size of
834
the internals table is automatically grown when there are 2 x
835
as many symbols as the table size.
836
For the byte-reader.im-test file (580K) the read time
837
went from 24 seconds to 16.8 seconds. (had been 53 seconds).
838
in-package and make-package take keyword args
839
:external and :internal to allow specification of the
840
size of the table for a new package.
842
Tue May 30 23:00:46 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
844
* fix writing of small and large double floats
845
in cmpeval.lsp, so that all numbers from smallest
846
double to largest may be included as constants
850
Sun May 28 16:22:07 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
852
* array.c:array_allocself takes an additional argument,
853
specifying the default value, or NULL if no initial
854
value is to be given.
855
si::make-vector has an additional optional arg of the
857
* seqlib also has calls to array_allocself, which take
858
a 0 final arg, indicating that the initialization
860
* array.c: siLcopy_array_portion added, to allow quick copying
861
from one array to another.
862
* In top.lsp the *eof* is changed to a local, so as not
863
to conflict with the si::*eof* which is the value returned
864
by the system when doing getc.
868
Fri May 12 10:57:39 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
870
* Add optimization for (type x 'foo) where
871
foo is a structure. This also affects foo-p.
872
If you (setq compiler::*frozen-defstructs* t)
873
this allows the compiler to assume that a given
874
defstruct will not be extended (by including
875
it in more structures) by new defstructs loaded
876
in later files. This can significantly speed
880
Thu May 11 07:43:52 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
882
* Fix omission of the extended mul for sun4 in 1.22
883
Now a new dependent feature EMUL lets you specify
884
an assembler file in the o directory, which will
885
be loaded in at the end.
887
* AKCL added to the *features* list. This is
888
now necessary because of internal differences in structures
889
between the standard kcl and akcl.
891
Structure changes are pretty well complete.
893
Wed May 3 12:11:54 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
895
* Fix ceiling and floor (num_co.c) by riley
897
Mon May 1 08:05:55 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
899
* fix to gc of displaced arrays. (bug report
900
and partial fix by riley). Files gbc.c array.c
901
undisplace was referrring to possibly freed list
904
* Structures are being completely reworked.
905
There are two reasons:
907
To use much less overhead at compile time of the
910
To allow raw types in defstructs, and allow packing
911
of these. For example a slot (x 0 :type (mod 50)) will
912
only require 1 byte. These structs may be made to
913
coincide with C structs more closely. All ptr or full
914
fixnum fields will be aligned on a multiple of the size
915
of ptr however for speed of reference and portability.
917
Needless to say recompilation is necessary for most files.
918
System files affected gbc.c, defstruct.c, predicate.c, print.d
919
defstruct.lsp cmpfun.lsp cmputil.lsp cmpeval.lsp predlib.lsp
920
and maybe some other small changes.
922
Naturally significant speedups will be gained if one can
923
keep integers in raw form:
924
(defstruct ja1 (a #\a :type character)(b 0 :type fixnum))
925
(defun joe (x n) (sloop::sloop for i below n do (setf (ja1-b x) i)))
926
Then (joe (make-ja1) 1000000) takes less than 1 second now,
927
as opposed to over 50 seconds prior to these changes.
930
Wed Apr 26 11:59:43 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
932
* Add message feature for AKCL start up. If unixport/message
933
exists and unixport/message-suppress does not, then
934
the file unixport/message will be printed on start up. (top.lsp)
936
* make o/akcllib.a, a library containing bcmp .. and other
937
common functions which are not present in all versions of unix.
938
The main link puts this after -lc, so that faster implementation
939
dependent versions will be used if they exist.
941
Mon Apr 24 20:28:49 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
943
* Change to eliminate char_table.s assembler code.
944
This change will unfortunately require users to recompile
945
their object code for use with this system.
947
* Fix bug in cmpinline.lsp, which was allowing
948
(rplacd (cons a b) nil) to give the wrong code.
950
* Add timing for gc, and allow have the si::*notify-gbc*
951
flag cause printing the type of gc.
952
To time gc's. do (si::gbc-time 0), to set the timer to
953
0, (si::gbc-time -1) to reset and turn it off. It
954
returns an integer in internal time units, similar
955
to get-internal-run-time.
957
* Speed up the lisp reader and intern. On a large file the
958
read is 2.4 times faster than it was.
960
* Many small changes to the include files, to eliminate duplicate
961
definitions of symbols, (not allowed by some compilers)
962
and also adding COMM_LENG, which can be null for most compilers
963
but should be a small integer for the IBM c compiler (it
964
does not accept external declarations int foo[], so we do
968
Fri Apr 21 18:13:23 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
970
* Fix bug with the new fast read-byte,....
971
If the stream argument was supplied, and was not a stream
972
but rather T or NIL, there was a problem. If you declare
973
the arg to be of type stream, then you will get identical
974
code to before; otherwise a typecheck for type stream
975
will be supplied, branching into the slower code for
977
Files cmpopt.lsp and cmptype.lsp
980
Tue Apr 18 22:56:54 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
982
* More changes to read-byte, write-byte, read-char and
983
write-char. I have removed the :in-file and :out-file
984
declarations, and the speed up for the undeclared streams
985
should be virtually the same as obtained with the declarations.
986
This will affect mainly file streams. Files cmpfun.lsp,
987
cmpopt.lsp, cmpinclude.h, read.d
989
Note that on read-byte it is still advantageous to use an
990
eof which is a fixnum.
992
reads where the eof-error-p arg is not nil are not speeded up.
994
It is still the case that two way streams are not speeded up,
995
however if (si::fp-input-stream str) returns non nil, then
996
you can use the resulting stream for fast input.
998
Thu Apr 13 00:20:11 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1000
* fixes to subtypep (as reported by riley)
1002
* changes to allow faster operation of read-char,write-char,
1003
read-byte and write-byte, when operating on file streams.
1004
In order to use these you should declare the stream
1005
to be :in-file or :out-file.
1006
You can use (typep str :in-file) to
1007
check if it is really valid.
1010
(declare (:in-file str))
1011
(the fixnum (read-byte str nil -100)))
1013
The above changes should work for ansi C style stdio,
1014
in particular for unix io. At the moment it is conditionalized
1016
files: cmpfun.lsp, cmpopt.lsp, cmtype.lsp, file.d, cmpenv.lsp
1018
The difference in reading speed is substantial: eg 3 microseconds
1019
as opposed to 60 microseconds for read-byte.
1021
To make your code portable do
1022
(proclaim '(declaration :in-file))
1024
In order for the optimizations to cut in,
1025
the read functions must be supplied with 3 args and the
1026
write functions with 2. The second of the read args
1028
Note with read-byte, using an eof value which is a fixnum,
1029
allows you to declare the location you will pass to as a fixnum.

1035
* Change c1fmla-constant in cmpif.lsp.
1036
(if (null 2) x y ) was yielding x not y!
1038
Sun Mar 19 12:26:21 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1040
* fix stream_at_end, so that a stream opened for `io'
1041
does the check, when reading, so that read can
1042
return eof properly.
1044
Sun Mar 12 01:40:53 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1046
* speed up the intern of symbol in pack_hash
1049
* psetf bug in case of two args (psetf a 3)
1050
not passing the environment. setf.lsp
1053
Fri Feb 24 22:27:22 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1055
* add fixes for &environment to allow it to come
1056
anywhere in the lambda list. defmacro.lsp and cmplam
1057
(change from R. Harris).
1059
Wed Feb 22 17:24:30 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1061
* fix tree-equal to save the previous test in list.d
1062
(assoc '(c) '((a b) ((c) d)) :test #'tree-equal) failed.
1065
Sun Feb 19 17:42:31 1989 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1067
* Fix hash_equal in hash.d. It was broken for circular
1068
structures or lists. This would affect sxhash as well
1069
as equal hash tables.
1071
* Fix obscure bug in compiler in cmptop.lsp, which could
1072
possibly leave out a sup declaration. The c compiler
1075
* Fix comparison of arrays under equalp in c/predicate.c
1076
It had been broken for rank different from 1.
1077
* Fix the assembler for the sun4 in sun4_chtab.s for
1078
multiply. (bug report by Harris).
1080
Fri Dec 9 00:47:46 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1082
* Made changes to sfasl to make it more portable.
1083
* added structures and characters to the types
1084
handled by fasdump.c
1085
* changed the c stack check in gbc.c to use cs_check.
1087
Sun Nov 27 12:31:13 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1089
* Add si::fp-input-stream, si::fp-output-stream,
1090
Which take one arg a stream, and return a stream
1091
with an strm->sm.sm_fp slot suitable for use with fread and fwrite.
1092
If this is not possible nil is returned.

(declare (optimize (safety 2)))
1100
(declare (fixnum i))
1101
(setf (char s (setq i (1+ i))) c))
1102
made c, not just i a fixnum in the char compilation,
1103
fixed in inline-args (by E. Wang) edward@ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU
1106
Wed Oct 12 17:01:06 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1108
* Added new array types: files cmptype,array.c,typespec.c,cmpopt,
1109
predlib.lsp, gbc.c, and maybe some others.
1110
Purpose of the change was to allow programs like CLX which
1111
use lots of numerical arrays, to be much more economical.
1112
Also make-array now coerces the element-type in a reasonable
1113
way, and the same handling is used in the compiler.
1115
New array element types:
1116
signed-char, unsigned-char, signed-short, unsigned-short
1117
The ranges on a SUN are
1118
((INTEGER -128 127) (INTEGER 0 255) (INTEGER -32768 32767)
1119
(INTEGER 0 65535)) respectively.
1121
make-array will always try to find the `best' array to
1122
accommodate the element-type specified. For example on a SUN
1124
(integer 0 10) --> unsigned-char
1125
(integer -3 10) --> signed-char
1126
si::best-array-element-type is the function doing this. It
1127
is also used by the compiler, for coercing array element types.
1128
If you are going to declare an array you should use the same
1129
element type as was used in making it. eg
1130
(setq my-array (make-array 4 :element-type '(integer 0 10)))
1131
(the (array (integer 0 10)) my-array)
1135
.. When wanting to optimize you need to make a reference:
1136
(the fixnum (aref (the (array (integer -3 10)) ar) (the fixnum i)))
1137
if ar were constructed using the (integer -3 10) element-type.
1138
You could of course used signed-char, but since the ranges
1139
may be implementation dependent it is better to use -3 10 range.
1140
make-array needs to do some calculation with the element-type
1141
if you don't provide a primitive data-type. One way of doing
1142
this in a machine independent fashion:
1143
(defvar *my-elt-type* #. (array-element-type (make-array 1
1144
:element-type '(integer -3 10))))
1145
Then calls to (make-array n :element-type *my-elt-type*)
1146
will not have to go through a type inclusion computation.
1150
Tue Oct 11 09:52:13 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1152
* When using gcc, it could happen that there was
1153
a string in in the init function, which got placed
1154
before the init function. Had to add -fwritable-strings
1157
Sun Oct 2 13:35:11 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1159
* Fix MP386 and att port bugs, introduced with the
1160
new mp386.h, att.h and mp386.defs files.
1161
* Fix unixtime at least for bsd, so that get-internal-real-time
1162
does not wrap every few hours, but will not wrap below 400 days.
1163
* Fix directory problems with compiling in other than the current
1164
directory, in the name of the file specified in the include.
1165
The command on most systems cd 's to the directory to run the
1166
cc, and so the .h file needed to use an unprefixed name.
1169
Sat Sep 24 16:02:22 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1171
* Changes to the computation of double-float-epsilon
1172
and more generally XX-epsilon. First they did not
1173
satisfy the condition of
1174
(defun fo (e) (not (= (float 1 e) (+ (float 1 e) e))))
1175
(fo double-float-epsilon) --> t
1176
as per CLtL. As it stands they at least satisfy the
1177
test, although there may be floats slightly smaller which
1180
Second on some machines (eg HP) the calculation done
1181
in line, carried more precision than that which would
1182
be normal when passed through eql, so that we changed
1183
the test == in constructing the double float epsilon
1184
to use a function call. Otherwise the epsilon was
1185
~10^-20 instead of the correct ~10^-16.
1187
Thu Sep 22 14:08:07 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1189
* Fixed hash_equal not to use the cast to int,
1190
in computing hash of a symbol name
1191
since this made sun4's unhappy (file hash.d ).
1193
Wed Sep 14 12:02:35 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1195
* fix to setf to make sure that
1196
(defmacro joe (x) `(progn t (car ,x)))
1197
(defsetf joe rplaca)
1198
work correctly. files changed are assignment.c and setf.lsp
1199
The defsetf'd definition takes precedence in the macroexpansion.
1200
The bad order was introduced when the evaluation of the macros including
1201
their environments was introduced (see below).
1203
Mon Sep 12 10:09:56 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1205
* use varargs.h for bind.c and list.d where
1206
variable length args are passed. We only use
1207
va_arg(ap,object) to access the next arg now.
1208
There are no more indexed references, since that
1211
* A major change for porting: Each machine type
1212
now has a .h file of its own, and things like alloc.c,
1213
main.c, unixsave.c no longer should be modified for
1214
individual machines. The file config.h is a link
1215
from `your-machine`.h and things like the VSSIZE,
1216
are also specified in that file. There are also
1217
files such as bsd.h , att.h (for system V) which
1218
can be included by the various special machine files.
1220
* c support for extended_div was added, and will
1221
be used if USE_C_EXTENDED_DIV is defined. The only
1222
function which does not have a C definition on the sun4
1223
version is extended_mul. Note that the c version
1224
of extended_div is included in big.c rather than earith.c
1225
since the latter is not compiled with the optimize switch.
1227
* The assembler functions of bitop.c had been being redefined
1228
by macros in gbc.c in an earlier change (this was actually
1229
4 times faster on a sun3), and now those functions have
1230
dummy definitions, which will go away soon.
1232
Wed Aug 31 23:38:08 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1234
* use varargs for the funlink of proclaimed functions,
1235
This affects cmpcall.lsp, funlink.c and requires
1236
<varargs.h> to be included by cmpinclude.
1237
The old variable arg business was not portable to risc
1238
architectures, where args are passed in registers.
1240
* make print return a value in print.d
1241
Hope there are not more `implicit returns' hidden away.
1243
Fri Aug 19 15:13:06 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1245
* Make (subtypep 'string-char 'character) --> t
1247
Wed Aug 3 11:33:20 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1249
* I have removed the dynamic growing of the special binding
1250
stack which I had added a few months ago (cf bds.h,main.c,bds.c.)
1252
the fact that some functions eg, Levalhook grab a pointer
1253
into the bds rather than just an index. These could easily have
1254
been changed, but until we allow the other stacks to grow
1255
dynamically, it is of questionable value.
1257
Fri Jul 1 09:41:36 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1259
* allow assoc to take key in c/list.d as per mail
1260
442 23-Jun pc%linus@mitre-bedford.ar KCL Bug: assoc doesn't take :key
1263
Wed Jun 15 16:46:40 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1265
* Added support for switch construct (see cmpnew/cmptag.lsp
1267
This will allow compiling into the c switch construct
1268
if (the test variable is declared to be a subtype of
1269
fixnum) which can then allow much faster switching on
1270
cases. To do:Should optimize some of case constructs into
1271
switch, where applicable.
1273
Wed Jun 8 11:43:00 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1275
* Altered the marking of the c stack in gbc.c.
1276
Now the current location for the c stack is taken
1277
in a separate function from the one where the environment
1278
is forced onto the stack, so that we don't have to
1279
depend on the c compilers doing things in the expected
1280
order. See mark_stack_carefully. Also added a flag
1281
C_GC_OFFSET which if defined to 2, will mark
1282
the stack twice once on 4m and once on 4m+2.
1284
* changed the initialization in main.c of bds_org
1287
This is to fit in with the earlier change to
1288
bds_overflow, to allow the bds to grow. bds_org
1289
is now a pointer rather than a hardwired value.
1292
Tue Jun 7 04:44:15 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1294
* Fix equalp to use the fill-pointer as a limit
1295
when comparing strings,vectors and bitvectors.
1298
Mon Jun 6 11:29:08 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1300
* Fix rotatef in setf.lsp to return NIL per CLtL
1301
* Fix handling of &rest arg in cmplam.lsp
1302
c2lambda-expr-without-key as per bug fix of Yuasa
1303

* Fix (random 0) bug, adding TSpositive_number type. as per

* Fix (make-array 2 0) bug per

70 13-Jan yuasa%tutics.tut.junet%ut Re: Nil is a sequence
1312
* Add bogus value (*READ-DEFAULT-FLOAT-FORMAT* t) when
1313
printing a float in a compiled file, so that it will always
1314
add the type in the printing, and we won't get a float
1315
type different from that used at compile time
1316

setf (aref x (decf i)) (aref x 1)) ->

1322
*All fixes by yuasa in the kcl-mail-archive thru Jun 88
1323
are now incorporated in akcl
1324
* Altered cmp-macroexpand-1 to use the local macro environment
1329
Wed Jun 1 13:29:57 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1331
* Altered macros.c to pass the function-macro environment
1332
if it is non nil. This is needed so that macro expansion
1333
functions can be called in the correct environment.
1334
Altered cmputil.lsp so that cmp-macroexpand and cmp-macro-expand
1335
both use the current compiler macro environment.
1336
Finally altered setf, so that it looks at the macro
1337
environment when it expands the place.
1339
Deleted treatment of setf as special form by the compiler,
1340
(introduced yesterday!)
1341
now that macros are handled correctly, and it is defined
1342
correctly as a macro.
1345
(macrolet ((ab nil 'a)) (setf (the fixnum (ab)) 3))
1346
Now work to give (set 'a (the fixnum 3)) as expected.
1350
Mon May 30 11:40:47 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1352
* Altered setf to macroexpand the place in the current
1353
lexical environment so that
1354
(macrolet ((joe nil 'bil))(setf (joe) n))
1355
would behave correctly. This change was in assignment.c
1356
in `setf' and also in cmputils.lsp adding c1setf, to
1357
get analagous treatment for compiler.
1359
It is still not totally correct: I don't handle
1360
(macrolet ((joe nil 'bil))(setf (the fixnum (joe)) n))
1362
(macrolet ((joe nil '(the fixnum bil)))(setf (joe) n))
1365
Tue May 24 09:38:58 1988 Bill Schelter (wfs at rascal)
1367
* Changed float to return single-float if given only one
1370
* Added a dynamic growth feature the bds stack, changing
1371
bds_org to be a variable rather than a macro, and altering
1374
*Enforce substantial constraints on downward closures ,to be relaxed
1375
at a future date: Currently no args, and no cross references
1376
to other types of closures. This is done in check-downward
