- Enable simple allocator to use mmap()
- Rewrite cmpwt.lsp so that it produces files with short lines and ANSI strings
- Fix mkdir so that it accepts a parameter for the mode
+Deftype BIT-VECTOR would not expand to a vector type.
+Each compiled file has an entry point whose name is either
init_CODE() or another name based on the name of the source file.
The algorithm for computing these names has been slightly changed
so that the entry points of ECLS's own library do not conflict with
user defined entry points.
+A LET/LET* form in which the initializers for a variable have not
the expected type produce a warning, but the code is accepted. For
instance (LET (V) (DECLARE (TYPE FIXNUM V)) (SETQ V 1)) now
compiles.
+(SETF name), where name is a symbol, is now a valid function name in all
contexts. It is accepted by DEFUN, FUNCTION, FBOUNDP, FMAKUNBOUND, etc,
and it can be the on the function position in any form.
+New specialized arrays for (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) and (SIGNED-BYTE 8).
These hash tables can be dumped to help files which are understood by ECLS.
Most documentation strings have been moved back to the lisp source files
from which "SYS:help.doc" is built.
- The value of *package* is correctly set and restored while loading
compiled code. This way, 'ecls -eval "(print *package*)"' produces
the expected result #<"COMMON-LISP-USER" package>
- COMPILE-FILE now outputs three values.
- The value of si::*keep-definitions* determines whether the
interpreter keeps the source of defined functions, for later use
with COMPILE and DISASSEMBLE. For instance,
> (set si::*keep-definitions* t)
> (defun foo (x) (1+ x))
> (compile 'foo)
> (foo 2)
3
> (compile 'foo)
;;; Error ....
These definitions are lost once the function is compiled, hence
the second error message.
growth of the stack and in the way va_arg() arguments can be accessed.
Fix the bytecodes compiler so that it handles toplevel forms properly and
so that it understands LOCALLY.
Split configure.in into configure.in+aclocal.m4 and improve the resulting
tests.
