16-bits large arguments.
Macros are implemented as two-argument functions, leaving argument checking
to funcall() and apply() and thus saving space.
AND, WHEN and OR are plain macros. No optimizer is required in the bytecodes
compiler.
Removed public functions FEtype_error_plist().
Low level function getf() and get() renamed as ecl_get[f]().
Simplified the loops which deal with property lists.
Assertions ASSERT and CHECK-TYPE moved from conditions.lisp to assert.lisp; old definitions removed.
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.
- 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
but to the dynamically determined "heap_start".
Define pointer types and macros to handle pointer arithmetic properly.
Replace calls to clLfuncall in interpreted code with OP_FCALL/OP_PFCALL.
Fix OP_PFCALL/OP_FCALL so that it looks for symbols in the global environment.
Take care of stack growth direction in mark_stack_conservative().
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.
