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.
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.
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().
Bit fiddling operations with negative fixnums now work.
Remove unportable code of the type va_list d = cs.
Simplify gathering of &rest and &key arguments in compiled code.
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.
that C long integers which exceed the fixnum representation are promoted
to bignums. This is particularly important when exporting addresses to lisp code.
at the top level, it processes their bodies as top level forms as well. For
instance, (LOCALLY (EVAL-WHEN (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL) (PRINT "HELLO"))), now works.
meaningful names for the exported functions. For instance,
(proclaim '(si::c-export-fname union))
is used to produce a C function with name clLunion, which can be directly used
in other compiled files. This feature has been applied to almost all functions
in the Lisp runtime.
