possibility of longjmp into the function that called a noreturn function.
Simplified the FORMAT routine abstracting the operations on arguments,
so that they can be easily reimplemented when the type of stack changes.
FORMAT does no longer use the lisp stack, but builds lists of arguments.
LAMBDA-PARAMETERS-LIMIT are both 64. Up to C-ARGUMENTS-LIMIT may be
passed to a function using C calling conventions. If the function is
to retrieve more arguments, (for instance through a &rest variable),
this can be done, but then the arguments have to be pushed on the lisp
stack. This method allows us to raise the CALL-ARGUMENTS-LIMIT up to
MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM. From a users point of view, there is no visible
change, excep the fact that a function may receive more arguments.
The function apply() has been replaced with cl_apply_from_stack().
The former took a pointer to the list of arguments. The latter assumes
that the last "narg" elements on the lisp stack are the arguments of
the function.
kept in a single array, "cl_symbols". The translator "dpp" and the
routine SI::MANGLE-NAME, output the right name for any symbol
which is in this array.
disappear. All code pertaining CLOS streams is moved to file.d. This code
allows the user to supply an arbitrary object instead of a stream. The object
must have the following methods defined: STREAM-READ-CHAR, STREAM-UNREAD-CHAR,
STREAM-LISTEN, STREAM-CLEAR-INPUT, STREAM-WRITE-CHAR, STREAM-CLEAR-OUTPUT,
STREAM-FORCE-OUTPUT, STREAM-CLOSE. With these methods it can be used for
input and output. This implementation of streams is enabled with the flag
--with-clos-streams during configuration phase.
- 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
This stack is also used to build the Invocation History records, which keep
track of which functions are called and which are their local environments.
With these changes, the debugger now works to the extend that it inspecting
these Invocation History Records with :backtrace, :up, :down, :variables,
now output the rights values.
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.
