REPORTING BUGS
Bugs can be reported on the help mailing list
sbcl-help@lists.sourceforge.net
or on the development mailing list
sbcl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Please please please include enough information in a bug report
that someone reading it can reproduce the problem, i.e. don't write
Subject: apparent bug in PRINT-OBJECT (or *PRINT-LENGTH*?)
PRINT-OBJECT doesn't seem to work with *PRINT-LENGTH*. Is this a bug?
but instead
Subject: apparent bug in PRINT-OBJECT (or *PRINT-LENGTH*?)
Under sbcl-1.2.3, when I compile and load the file
(DEFSTRUCT (FOO (:PRINT-OBJECT (LAMBDA (X Y)
(LET ((*PRINT-LENGTH* 4))
(PRINT X Y)))))
X Y)
then at the command line type
(MAKE-FOO)
the program loops endlessly instead of printing the object.
KNOWN PORT-SPECIFIC BUGS
The breakpoint-based TRACE facility doesn't work properly in the
OpenBSD port of sbcl-0.6.7.
KNOWN BUGS
(There is also some information on bugs in the manual page and in the
TODO file. Eventually more such information may move here.)
* (DESCRIBE NIL) causes an endless loop.
* The FUNCTION special operator doesn't check properly whether its
argument is a function name. E.g. (FUNCTION (X Y)) returns a value
instead of failing with an error.
* (DESCRIBE 'GF) fails where GF is the name of a generic function:
The function SB-IMPL::DESCRIBE-INSTANCE is undefined.
* Failure in initialization files is not handled gracefully -- it's
a throw to TOP-LEVEL-CATCHER, which is not caught until we enter
TOPLEVEL-REPL. Code should be added to catch such THROWs even when
we're not in TOPLEVEL-REPL and do *something* with them (probably
complaining about an error outside TOPLEVEL-REPL, perhaps printing
a BACKTRACE, then terminating execution of SBCL).
* COMPILED-FUNCTION-P bogusly reports T for interpreted functions:
* (DEFUN FOO (X) (- 12 X))
FOO
* (COMPILED-FUNCTION-P #'FOO)
T
* The CL:STEP macro is undefined.
* DEFSTRUCT should almost certainly overwrite the old LAYOUT information
instead of just punting when a contradictory structure definition
is loaded.
* It should cause a STYLE-WARNING, not a full WARNING, when a structure
slot default value does not match the declared structure slot type.
(The current behavior is consistent with SBCL's behavior elsewhere,
and would not be a problem, except that the other behavior is
specifically required by the ANSI spec.)
* It should cause a STYLE-WARNING, not a WARNING, when the system ignores
an FTYPE proclamation for a slot accessor.
* Missing ordinary arguments in a macro call aren't reported when the
macro lambda list contains &KEY:
(DEFMACRO FOO (BAR &KEY) BAR) => FOO
(FOO) => NIL
Also in DESTRUCTURING-BIND:
(DESTRUCTURING-BIND (X Y &REST REST) '(1) (VECTOR X Y REST))
=> #(1 NIL NIL)
Also with &REST lists:
(DEFMACRO FOO (BAR &REST REST) BAR) => FOO
(FOO) => NIL
* Error reporting on various stream-requiring operations is not
very good when the stream argument has the wrong type, because
the operation tries to fall through to Gray stream code, and then
dies because it's undefined. E.g.
(PRINT-UNREADABLE-OBJECT (*STANDARD-OUTPUT* 1))
gives the error message
error in SB-KERNEL::UNDEFINED-SYMBOL-ERROR-HANDLER:
The function SB-IMPL::STREAM-WRITE-STRING is undefined.
It would be more useful and correct to signal a TYPE-ERROR:
not a STREAM: 1
(It wouldn't be terribly difficult to write stubs for all the
Gray stream functions that the old CMU CL code expects, with
each stub just raising the appropriate TYPE-ERROR.)
* bogus warnings about undefined functions for magic functions like
SB!C::%%DEFUN and SB!C::%DEFCONSTANT when cross-compiling files
like src/code/float.lisp
* The "byte compiling top-level form:" output ought to be condensed.
Perhaps any number of such consecutive lines ought to turn into a
single "byte compiling top-level forms:" line.
* The handling of IGNORE declarations on lambda list arguments of DEFMETHOD
is at least weird, and in fact seems broken and useless. I should
fix up another layer of binding, declared IGNORABLE, for typed
lambda list arguments.
* Compiling a file containing the erroneous program
(DEFSTRUCT FOO
A
B)
(DEFSTRUCT (BAR (:INCLUDE FOO))
A
B)
gives only the not-very-useful message
caught ERROR:
(during macroexpansion)
Condition PROGRAM-ERROR was signalled.
(The specific message which says that the problem was duplicate
slot names gets lost.)
* The way that the compiler munges types with arguments together
with types with no arguments (in e.g. TYPE-EXPAND) leads to
weirdness visible to the user:
(DEFTYPE FOO () 'FIXNUM)
(TYPEP 11 'FOO) => T
(TYPEP 11 '(FOO)) => T, which seems weird
(TYPEP 11 'FIXNUM) => T
(TYPEP 11 '(FIXNUM)) signals an error, as it should
The situation is complicated by the presence of Common Lisp types
like UNSIGNED-BYTE (which can either be used in list form or alone)
so I'm not 100% sure that the behavior above is actually illegal.
But I'm 90+% sure, and someday perhaps I'll be motivated to look it up..
* It would be nice if the
caught ERROR:
(during macroexpansion)
said what macroexpansion was at fault, e.g.
caught ERROR:
(during macroexpansion of IN-PACKAGE,
during macroexpansion of DEFFOO)
* The type system doesn't understand the KEYWORD type very well:
(SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL) => NIL, NIL
It might be possible to fix this by changing the definition of
KEYWORD to (AND SYMBOL (SATISFIES KEYWORDP)), but the type system
would need to be a bit smarter about AND types, too:
(SUBTYPEP '(AND SYMBOL KEYWORD) 'SYMBOL) => NIL, NIL
(The type system does know something about AND types already,
(SUBTYPEP '(AND INTEGER FLOAT) 'NUMBER) => T, T
(SUBTYPEP '(AND INTEGER FIXNUM) 'NUMBER) =>T, T
so likely this is a small patch.)
* Floating point infinities are screwed up. [When I was converting CMU CL
to SBCL, I was looking for complexity to delete, and I thought it was safe
to just delete support for floating point infinities. It wasn't: they're
generated by the floating point hardware even when we remove support
for them in software. -- WHN] Support for them should be restored.
* The ANSI syntax for non-STANDARD method combination types in CLOS is
(DEFGENERIC FOO (X) (:METHOD-COMBINATION PROGN))
(DEFMETHOD FOO PROGN ((X BAR)) (PRINT 'NUMBER))
If you mess this up, omitting the PROGN qualifier in in DEFMETHOD,
(DEFGENERIC FOO (X) (:METHOD-COMBINATION PROGN))
(DEFMETHOD FOO ((X BAR)) (PRINT 'NUMBER))
the error mesage is not easy to understand:
INVALID-METHOD-ERROR was called outside the dynamic scope
of a method combination function (inside the body of
DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION or a method on the generic
function COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD).
It would be better if it were more informative, a la
The method combination type for this method (STANDARD) does
not match the method combination type for the generic function
(PROGN).
Also, after you make the mistake of omitting the PROGN qualifier
on a DEFMETHOD, doing a new DEFMETHOD with the correct qualifier
no longer works:
(DEFMETHOD FOO PROGN ((X BAR)) (PRINT 'NUMBER))
gives
INVALID-METHOD-ERROR was called outside the dynamic scope
of a method combination function (inside the body of
DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION or a method on the generic
function COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD).
This is not very helpful..
* The message "The top of the stack was encountered." from the debugger
is not helpful when I type "FRAME 0" -- I know I'm going to the top
of the stack.
* (SUBTYPEP '(FUNCTION (T BOOLEAN) NIL)
'(FUNCTION (FIXNUM FIXNUM) NIL)) => T, T
(Also, when this is fixed, we can enable the code in PROCLAIM which
checks for incompatible FTYPE redeclarations.)
* The ANSI spec says that CONS can be a compound type spec, e.g.
(CONS FIXNUM REAL). SBCL doesn't support this.
* from Paolo Amoroso on the CMU CL mailing list 27 Feb 2000:
I use CMU CL 18b under Linux. When COMPILE-FILE is supplied a physical
pathname, the type of the corresponding compiled file is X86F:

* There's probably a bug in the compiler handling of special variables
in closures, inherited from the CMU CL code, as reported on the
CMU CL mailing list. There's a patch for this on the CMU CL
mailing list too:
Message-ID: <38C8E188.A1E38B5E@jeack.com.au>
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 22:50:32 +1100
From: "Douglas T. Crosher" <dtc@jeack.com.au>
* The ANSI spec, in section "22.3.5.2 Tilde Less-Than-Sign: Logical Block",
says that an error is signalled if ~W, ~_, ~<...~:>, ~I, or ~:T is used
inside "~<..~>" (without the colon modifier on the closing syntax).
However, SBCL doesn't do this:
* (FORMAT T "~<munge~wegnum~>" 12)
munge12egnum
NIL
* When too many files are opened, OPEN will fail with an
uninformative error message
error in function OPEN: error opening #P"/tmp/foo.lisp": NIL
instead of saying that too many files are open.
* Right now, when COMPILE-FILE has a read error, it actually pops
you into the debugger before giving up on the file. It should
instead handle the error, perhaps issuing (and handling)
a secondary error "caught ERROR: unrecoverable error during compilation"
and then return with FAILURE-P true,
* The print system doesn't conform to ANSI
"22.1.3.3.1 Package Prefixes for Symbols" for keywords printed when
*PACKAGE* is the KEYWORD package.
from a message by Ray Toy on CMU CL mailing list Fri, 28 Apr 2000:
In a discussion on comp.lang.lisp, the following code was given (by
Erik Naggum):
(let ((*package* (find-package :keyword)))
(write-to-string object :readably t))
If OBJECT is a keyword, CMUCL prints out the keyword, but without a
colon. Hence, it's not readable, as requested.
I think the following patch will make this work as expected. The
patch just basically checks for the keyword package first before
checking the current package.

accepted, without even issuing a warning. ANSI allows this, but since
it's fairly easy to mistype DECLAIM instead of DECLARE, and the
meaning is rather different, and it's unlikely that the user
has a good reason for doing DECLAIM not at top level, it would be
good to issue a STYLE-WARNING when this happens. A possible
fix would be to issue STYLE-WARNINGs for DECLAIMs not at top level,
or perhaps to issue STYLE-WARNINGs for any EVAL-WHEN not at top level.

This violates the "declarations are assertions" principle.
According to the ANSI spec, in the section "System Class FUNCTION",
this is a case of "lying to the compiler", but the lying is done
by the code which calls FACTORIAL with non-UNSIGNED-BYTE arguments,
not by the unexpectedly general definition of FACTORIAL. In any case,
"declarations are assertions" means that lying to the compiler should
cause an error to be signalled, and should not cause a bogus
result to be returned. Thus, the compiler should not assume
that arbitrary functions check their argument types. (It might
make sense to add another flag (CHECKED?) to DEFKNOWN to
identify functions which *do* check their argument types.)

Thanks for the bug report, nice to have this one fixed. It was a bug
in the x86 backend, the < VOP. A fix has been committed to the main
source, see the file compiler/x86/float.lisp.
Probably the same bug exists in SBCL.
* TYPEP treats the result of UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE as gospel,
so that (TYPEP (MAKE-ARRAY 3) '(VECTOR SOMETHING-NOT-DEFINED-YET))
returns (VALUES T T). Probably it should be an error instead,
complaining that the type SOMETHING-NOT-DEFINED-YET is not defined.
* TYPEP of VALUES types is sometimes implemented very inefficiently, e.g. in
(DEFTYPE INDEXOID () '(INTEGER 0 1000))
(DEFUN FOO (X)
(DECLARE (TYPE INDEXOID X))
(THE (VALUES INDEXOID)
(VALUES X)))
where the implementation of the type check in function FOO
includes a full call to %TYPEP. There are also some fundamental problems
with the interpretation of VALUES types (inherited from CMU CL, and
from the ANSI CL standard) as discussed on the cmucl-imp@cons.org
mailing list, e.g. in Robert Maclachlan's post of 21 Jun 2000.
* The definitions of SIGCONTEXT-FLOAT-REGISTER and
%SET-SIGCONTEXT-FLOAT-REGISTER in x86-vm.lisp say they're not
supported on FreeBSD because the floating point state is not saved,
but at least as of FreeBSD 4.0, the floating point state *is* saved,
so they could be supported after all. Very likely
SIGCONTEXT-FLOATING-POINT-MODES could now be supported, too.
* (as discussed by Douglas Crosher on the cmucl-imp mailing list ca.
Aug. 10, 2000): CMUCL currently interprets 'member as '(member); same issue
with 'union, 'and, 'or etc. So even though according to the ANSI spec,
bare 'MEMBER, 'AND, and 'OR are not legal types, CMUCL (and now
SBCL) interpret them as legal types.
* ANSI specifies DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO, but it's not defined in SBCL.
CMU CL added it ca. Aug 13, 2000, after some discussion on the mailing
list, and it is probably possible to use substantially the same
patches to add it to SBCL.
* a slew of floating-point-related errors reported by Peter Van Eynde
on July 25, 2000:
* (SQRT -9.0) fails, because SB-KERNEL::COMPLEX-SQRT is undefined.
Similarly, COMPLEX-ASIN, COMPLEX-ACOS, COMPLEX-ACOSH, and others
aren't found.
* SBCL's value for LEAST-POSITIVE-SHORT-FLOAT is bogus, and
should probably be 1.4012985e-45. In SBCL,
(/ LEAST-POSITIVE-SHORT-FLOAT 2) returns a number smaller
than LEAST-POSITIVE-SHORT-FLOAT. Similar problems
exist for LEAST-NEGATIVE-SHORT-FLOAT, LEAST-POSITIVE-LONG-FLOAT,
and LEAST-NEGATIVE-LONG-FLOAT.
* Many expressions generate floating infinity:
(/ 1 0.0)
(/ 1 0.0d0)
(EXPT 10.0 1000)
(EXPT 10.0d0 1000)
PVE's regression tests want them to raise errors. SBCL
generates the infinities instead, which may or may not be
conforming behavior, but then blow it by being unable to
output the infinities, since support for infinities is generally
broken, and in particular SB-IMPL::OUTPUT-FLOAT-INFINITY is
undefined.
* (in section12.erg) various forms a la
(FLOAT 1 DOUBLE-FLOAT-EPSILON) don't give the right behavior.

In general lengths of array type specifications aren't
checked by COERCE, so it fails when the spec is
(VECTOR 4), (STRING 2), (SIMPLE-BIT-VECTOR 3), or whatever.
* CONCATENATE has the same problem of not checking the length
of specified output array types. MAKE-SEQUENCE and MAP and
MERGE also have the same problem.
* (COERCE 'AND 'FUNCTION) returns something related to
(MACRO-FUNCTION 'AND), but ANSI says it should raise an error.
* ELT signals SIMPLE-ERROR if its index argument
isn't a valid index for its sequence argument, but should
signal TYPE-ERROR instead.
* FILE-LENGTH is supposed to signal a type error when its
argument is not a stream associated with a file, but doesn't.
* (FLOAT-RADIX 2/3) should signal an error instead of
returning 2.
* (LOAD "*.lsp") should signal FILE-ERROR.
* (MAKE-CONCATENATED-STREAM (MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM))
should signal TYPE-ERROR.
* MAKE-TWO-WAY-STREAM doesn't check that its arguments can
be used for input and output as needed. It should fail with
TYPE-ERROR when handed e.g. the results of MAKE-STRING-INPUT-STREAM
or MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM in the inappropriate positions,
but doesn't.
* (PARSE-NAMESTRING (COERCE (LIST #\f #\o #\o (CODE-CHAR 0) #\4 #\8)
(QUOTE STRING)))
should probably signal an error instead of making a pathname with
a null byte in it.
* READ-BYTE is supposed to signal TYPE-ERROR when its argument is
not a binary input stream, but instead cheerfully reads from
character streams, e.g. (MAKE-STRING-INPUT-STREAM "abc").
* DEFCLASS bugs reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
* (DEFCLASS FOO () (A B A)) should signal a PROGRAM-ERROR, and doesn't.
* (DEFCLASS FOO () (A B A) (:DEFAULT-INITARGS X A X B)) should
signal a PROGRAM-ERROR, and doesn't.
* (DEFCLASS FOO07 NIL ((A :ALLOCATION :CLASS :ALLOCATION :CLASS))),
and other DEFCLASS forms with duplicate specifications in their
slots, should signal a PROGRAM-ERROR, and doesn't.
* (DEFGENERIC IF (X)) should signal a PROGRAM-ERROR, but instead
causes a COMPILER-ERROR.
* SYMBOL-MACROLET bugs reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
* (SYMBOL-MACROLET ((T TRUE)) ..) should probably signal
PROGRAM-ERROR, but SBCL accepts it instead.
* SYMBOL-MACROLET should refuse to bind something which is
declared as a global variable, signalling PROGRAM-ERROR.
* SYMBOL-MACROLET should signal PROGRAM-ERROR if something
it binds is declared SPECIAL inside.
* LOOP bugs reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
* (LOOP WITH (A B) DO (PRINT 1)) is a syntax error according to
the definition of WITH clauses given in the ANSI spec, but
compiles and runs happily in SBCL.
* a messy one involving package iteration:
interpreted Form: (LET ((PACKAGE (MAKE-PACKAGE "LOOP-TEST"))) (INTERN "blah" PACKAGE) (LET ((BLAH2 (INTERN "blah2" PACKAGE))) (EXPORT BLAH2 PACKAGE)) (LIST (SORT (LOOP FOR SYM BEING EACH PRESENT-SYMBOL OF PACKAGE FOR SYM-NAME = (SYMBOL-NAME SYM) COLLECT SYM-NAME) (FUNCTION STRING<)) (SORT (LOOP FOR SYM BEING EACH EXTERNAL-SYMBOL OF PACKAGE FOR SYM-NAME = (SYMBOL-NAME SYM) COLLECT SYM-NAME) (FUNCTION STRING<))))
Should be: (("blah" "blah2") ("blah2"))
SBCL: (("blah") ("blah2"))
* (LET ((X 1)) (LOOP FOR I BY (INCF X) FROM X TO 10 COLLECT I))
doesn't work -- SBCL's LOOP says BY isn't allowed in a FOR clause.
* type system errors reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
* (SUBTYPEP 'BIGNUM 'INTEGER) => NIL, NIL
but should be (VALUES T T) instead.
* (SUBTYPEP 'EXTENDED-CHAR 'CHARACTER) => NIL, NIL
but should be (VALUES T T) instead.
* (SUBTYPEP '(INTEGER (0) (0)) 'NIL) dies with nested errors.
* In general, the system doesn't like '(INTEGER (0) (0)) -- it
blows up at the level of SPECIFIER-TYPE with
"Lower bound (0) is greater than upper bound (0)." Probably
SPECIFIER-TYPE should return NIL instead.
* (TYPEP 0 '(COMPLEX (EQL 0)) fails with
"Component type for Complex is not numeric: (EQL 0)."
This might be easy to fix; the type system already knows
that (SUBTYPEP '(EQL 0) 'NUMBER) is true.
* The type system doesn't know about the condition system,
so that e.g. (TYPEP 'SIMPLE-ERROR 'ERROR)=>NIL.
* The type system isn't all that smart about relationships
between hairy types, as shown in the type.erg test results,
e.g. (SUBTYPEP 'CONS '(NOT ATOM)) => NIL, NIL.
* miscellaneous errors reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
* (PROGN
(DEFGENERIC FOO02 (X))
(DEFMETHOD FOO02 ((X NUMBER)) T)
(LET ((M (FIND-METHOD (FUNCTION FOO02)
NIL
(LIST (FIND-CLASS (QUOTE NUMBER))))))
(REMOVE-METHOD (FUNCTION FOO02) M)
(DEFGENERIC FOO03 (X))
(ADD-METHOD (FUNCTION FOO03) M)))
should give an error, but SBCL allows it.
* READ should probably return READER-ERROR, not the bare
arithmetic error, when input a la "1/0" or "1e1000" causes
an arithmetic error.
* There are several metaobject protocol "errors". (In order to fix
them, we might need to document exactly what metaobject
protocol specification we're following -- the current code is
just inherited from PCL.)
* (BUTLAST NIL) should return NIL. (This appears to be a compiler
bug, since the definition of BUTLAST, when interpreted, does
give (BUTLAST NIL)=>NIL.)
* another error from Peter Van Eynde 5 September 2000:
(FORMAT NIL "~F" "FOO") should work, but instead reports an error.
PVE submitted a patch to deal with this bug, but it exposes other
comparably serious bugs, so I didn't apply it. It looks as though
the FORMAT code needs a fair amount of rewriting in order to comply
with the various details of the ANSI spec.
* The bug discussed on the cmucl-imp@cons.org mailing list ca. 5 September,
simplified by Douglas Crosher down to
(defun tickle-bug ()
(labels ((fun1 ()
(fun2))
(fun2 ()
(when nil
(tagbody
tag
(fun2)
(go tag)))
(when nil
(tagbody
tag
(fun1)
(go tag)))))
(fun1)
nil))
causes the same problem on SBCL: compiling it fails with
:LET fell through ECASE expression.
Very likely the patch discussed there is appropriate for SBCL
as well, but I don't understand it, so I didn't apply it.
