SBCL 1.0.6 New in version 1.0.6Back to top
new contrib: sb-cover, an experimental code coverage tool, is included as a contrib module.
optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS for unibyte encodings and UTF-8 is significantly faster.
optimization: calls of the form (AREF FOO (+ INDEX
)) now produce more efficient code on x86-64 if the compiler can determine that (+ INDEX ) does not require a bounds check and FOO has an element type at least 8 bits wide.
enhancement: a new, experimental synchronous timeout facility is provided. Refer to SB-SYS:WITH-DEADLINE for details.
enhancement: when a symbol name conflict error arises, the conflicting symbols are always printed with a package prefix. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
enhancement: stepping is now once again supported on the SPARC and MIPS platforms. (It is also now more likely to work on CheneyGC builds on the PPC.)
enhancement: sb-sprof can now also track and report accurate call counts.
bug fixes: the treatment of non-standard subclasses of SB-MOP:SPECIALIZER is more correct.
incompatible change: PURIFY no longer copies the data from the dynamic space into the static and read-only spaces on platforms that use the generational garbage collector
bug fix: GETHASH, (SETF GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH are now interrupt safe.
bug fix: GC race condition occasionally resulting in crashes with the error message "SIG_STOP_FOR_GC blocked at a bad place" has been fixed.
bug fix: &ENVIRONMENT variables in macro lambda lists can now be declared ignored.
bug fix: DEFSETF lambda lists without &ENVIRONMENT no longer cause a STYLE-WARNING to be signalled (regression from 1.0.4.)
bug fix: an asynchronous interrupt could previously leave the system running with GC inhibited.
bug fix: a DECLARE form evaluated at top-level now causes an error rather than silently (or verbosely) returning NIL.
bug fix: trying to dissassemble functions compiled at high DEBUG could result in a error being signalled due to source form lookup errors. (reported by Peter Graves)
