Nikodemus Siivola b63c4fb9b9 0.8.19.30: less COMPILE-FILE verbosity 
First stab at fixing bug #7. To get output approximately as
           verbose as the old behaviour use :TOP-LEVEL-FORMS as the
           value of the :PRINT option to COMPILE-FILE.

           Note: Giving users control over the way things are printed
           via *COMPILER-PRINT-VARIABLE-ALIST* is OTOH a good thing,
           but it also seems to be used for ratheer diverse things,
           and people could reasonably want to customize them
           separately. Gah.

           Also list x86/FreeBSD4 as "expected to pass tests" in
           make.sh output, as that seems to be the case.

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 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*?)
In sbcl-1.2.3 running under OpenBSD 4.5 on my Alpha box, 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.
NOTES:
There is also some information on bugs in the manual page and
in the TODO file. Eventually more such information may move here.
The gaps in the number sequence belong to old bug descriptions which
have gone away (typically because they were fixed, but sometimes for
other reasons, e.g. because they were moved elsewhere).
2:
DEFSTRUCT almost certainly should overwrite the old LAYOUT information
instead of just punting when a contradictory structure definition
is loaded. As it is, if you redefine DEFSTRUCTs in a way which
changes their layout, you probably have to rebuild your entire
program, even if you know or guess enough about the internals of
SBCL to wager that this (undefined in ANSI) operation would be safe.
3: "type checking of structure slots"
a:
ANSI specifies that a type mismatch in a structure slot
initialization value should not cause a warning.
WORKAROUND:
This one might not be fixed for a while because while we're big
believers in ANSI compatibility and all, (1) there's no obvious
simple way to do it (short of disabling all warnings for type
mismatches everywhere), and (2) there's a good portable
workaround, and (3) by their own reasoning, it looks as though
ANSI may have gotten it wrong. ANSI justifies this specification
by saying
The restriction against issuing a warning for type mismatches
between a slot-initform and the corresponding slot's :TYPE
option is necessary because a slot-initform must be specified
in order to specify slot options; in some cases, no suitable
default may exist.
However, in SBCL (as in CMU CL or, for that matter, any compiler
which really understands Common Lisp types) a suitable default
does exist, in all cases, because the compiler understands the
concept of functions which never return (i.e. has return type NIL).
Thus, as a portable workaround, you can use a call to some
known-never-to-return function as the default. E.g.
(DEFSTRUCT FOO
(BAR (ERROR "missing :BAR argument")
:TYPE SOME-TYPE-TOO-HAIRY-TO-CONSTRUCT-AN-INSTANCE-OF))
or
(DECLAIM (FTYPE (FUNCTION () NIL) MISSING-ARG))
(DEFUN REQUIRED-ARG () ; workaround for SBCL non-ANSI slot init typing
(ERROR "missing required argument"))
(DEFSTRUCT FOO
(BAR (REQUIRED-ARG) :TYPE TRICKY-TYPE-OF-SOME-SORT)
(BLETCH (REQUIRED-ARG) :TYPE TRICKY-TYPE-OF-SOME-SORT)
(N-REFS-SO-FAR 0 :TYPE (INTEGER 0)))
Such code should compile without complaint and work correctly either
on SBCL or on any other completely compliant Common Lisp system.
b: &AUX argument in a boa-constructor without a default value means
"do not initilize this slot" and does not cause type error. But
an error may be signalled at read time and it would be good if
SBCL did it.
d: (fixed in 0.8.1.5)
27:
Sometimes (SB-EXT:QUIT) fails with
Argh! maximum interrupt nesting depth (4096) exceeded, exiting
Process inferior-lisp exited abnormally with code 1
I haven't noticed a repeatable case of this yet.
32:
The printer doesn't report closures very well. This is true in
CMU CL 18b as well:
(defstruct foo bar)
(print #'foo-bar)
gives
#<FUNCTION "CLOSURE" {406974D5}>
It would be nice to make closures have a settable name slot,
and make things like DEFSTRUCT and FLET, which create closures,
set helpful values into this slot.
33:
And as long as we're wishing, it would be awfully nice if INSPECT could
also report on closures, telling about the values of the bound variables.
35:
The compiler assumes that any time a function of declared FTYPE
doesn't signal an error, its arguments were of the declared type.
E.g. compiling and loading
(DECLAIM (OPTIMIZE (SAFETY 3)))
(DEFUN FACTORIAL (X) (GAMMA (1+ X)))
(DEFUN GAMMA (X) X)
(DECLAIM (FTYPE (FUNCTION (UNSIGNED-BYTE)) FACTORIAL))
(DEFUN FOO (X)
(COND ((> (FACTORIAL X) 1.0E6)
(FORMAT T "too big~%"))
((INTEGERP X)
(FORMAT T "exactly ~S~%" (FACTORIAL X)))
(T
(FORMAT T "approximately ~S~%" (FACTORIAL X)))))
then executing
(FOO 1.5)
will cause the INTEGERP case to be selected, giving bogus output a la
exactly 2.5
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.)
(Also, verify that the compiler handles declared function
return types as assertions.)
42:
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.
60:
The debugger LIST-LOCATIONS command doesn't work properly.
(How should it work properly?)
61:
Compiling and loading
(DEFUN FAIL (X) (THROW 'FAIL-TAG X))
(FAIL 12)
then requesting a BACKTRACE at the debugger prompt gives no information
about where in the user program the problem occurred.
(this is apparently mostly fixed on the SPARC, PPC, and x86 architectures:
while giving the backtrace the non-x86 systems complains about "unknown
source location: using block start", but apart from that the
backtrace seems reasonable. On x86 this is masked by bug 353. See
tests/debug.impure.lisp for a test case)
64:
Using the pretty-printer from the command prompt gives funny
results, apparently because the pretty-printer doesn't know
about user's command input, including the user's carriage return
that the user, and therefore the pretty-printer thinks that
the new output block should start indented 2 or more characters
rightward of the correct location.
67:
As reported by Winton Davies on a CMU CL mailing list 2000-01-10,
and reported for SBCL by Martin Atzmueller 2000-10-20: (TRACE GETHASH)
crashes SBCL. In general tracing anything which is used in the
implementation of TRACE is likely to have the same problem.
78:
ANSI says in one place that type declarations can be abbreviated even
when the type name is not a symbol, e.g.
(DECLAIM ((VECTOR T) *FOOVECTOR*))
SBCL doesn't support this. But ANSI says in another place that this
isn't allowed. So it's not clear this is a bug after all. (See the
e-mail on cmucl-help@cons.org on 2001-01-16 and 2001-01-17 from WHN
and Pierre Mai.)
83:
RANDOM-INTEGER-EXTRA-BITS=10 may not be large enough for the RANDOM
RNG to be high quality near RANDOM-FIXNUM-MAX; it looks as though
the mean of the distribution can be systematically O(0.1%) wrong.
Just increasing R-I-E-B is probably not a good solution, since
it would decrease efficiency more than is probably necessary. Perhaps
using some sort of accept/reject method would be better.
85:
Internally the compiler sometimes evaluates
(sb-kernel:type/= (specifier-type '*) (specifier-type t))
(I stumbled across this when I added an
(assert (not (eq type1 *wild-type*)))
in the NAMED :SIMPLE-= type method.) '* isn't really a type, and
in a type context should probably be translated to T, and so it's
probably wrong to ask whether it's equal to the T type and then (using
the EQ type comparison in the NAMED :SIMPLE-= type method) return NIL.
(I haven't tried to investigate this bug enough to guess whether
there might be any user-level symptoms.)
In fact, the type system is likely to depend on this inequality not
holding... * is not equivalent to T in many cases, such as
(VECTOR *) /= (VECTOR T).
95:
The facility for dumping a running Lisp image to disk gets confused
when run without the PURIFY option, and creates an unnecessarily large
core file (apparently representing memory usage up to the previous
high-water mark). Moreover, when the file is loaded, it confuses the
GC, so that thereafter memory usage can never be reduced below that
level.
(As of 0.8.7.3 it's likely that the latter half of this bug is fixed.
The interaction between gencgc and the variables used by
save-lisp-and-die is still nonoptimal, though, so no respite from
big core files yet)
98:
In sbcl-0.6.11.41 (and in all earlier SBCL, and in CMU
CL), out-of-line structure slot setters are horribly inefficient
whenever the type of the slot is declared, because out-of-line
structure slot setters are implemented as closures to save space,
so the compiler doesn't compile the type test into code, but
instead just saves the type in a lexical closure and interprets it
at runtime.
To exercise the problem, compile and load
(cl:in-package :cl-user)
(defstruct foo
(bar (error "missing") :type bar))
(defvar *foo*)
(defun wastrel1 (x)
(loop (setf (foo-bar *foo*) x)))
(defstruct bar)
(defvar *bar* (make-bar))
(defvar *foo* (make-foo :bar *bar*))
(defvar *setf-foo-bar* #'(setf foo-bar))
(defun wastrel2 (x)
(loop (funcall *setf-foo-bar* x *foo*)))
then run (WASTREL1 *BAR*) or (WASTREL2 *BAR*), hit Ctrl-C, and
use BACKTRACE, to see it's spending all essentially all its time
in %TYPEP and VALUES-SPECIFIER-TYPE and so forth.
One possible solution would be simply to give up on
representing structure slot accessors as functions, and represent
them as macroexpansions instead. This can be inconvenient for users,
but it's not clear that it's worse than trying to help by expanding
into a horribly inefficient implementation.
As a workaround for the problem, #'(SETF FOO) expressions
can be replaced with (EFFICIENT-SETF-FUNCTION FOO), where
(defmacro efficient-setf-function (place-function-name)
(or #+sbcl (and (sb-int:info :function :accessor-for place-function-name)
;; a workaround for the problem, encouraging the
;; inline expansion of the structure accessor, so
;; that the compiler can optimize its type test
(let ((new-value (gensym "NEW-VALUE-"))
(structure-value (gensym "STRUCTURE-VALUE-")))
`(lambda (,new-value ,structure-value)
(setf (,place-function-name ,structure-value)
,new-value))))
;; no problem, can just use the ordinary expansion
`(function (setf ,place-function-name))))
100:
There's apparently a bug in CEILING optimization which caused
Douglas Crosher to patch the CMU CL version. Martin Atzmueller
applied the patches to SBCL and they didn't seem to cause problems
(as reported sbcl-devel 2001-05-04). However, since the patches
modify nontrivial code which was apparently written incorrectly
the first time around, until regression tests are written I'm not
comfortable merging the patches in the CVS version of SBCL.
108:
(TIME (ROOM T)) reports more than 200 Mbytes consed even for
a clean, just-started SBCL system. And it seems to be right:
(ROOM T) can bring a small computer to its knees for a *long*
time trying to GC afterwards. Surely there's some more economical
way to implement (ROOM T).
Daniel Barlow doesn't know what fixed this, but observes that it
doesn't seem to be the case in 0.8.7.3 any more. Instead, (ROOM T)
in a fresh SBCL causes
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:BUG in thread 5911:
failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
unless a GC has happened beforehand.
117:
When the compiler inline expands functions, it may be that different
kinds of return values are generated from different code branches.
E.g. an inline expansion of POSITION generates integer results
from one branch, and NIL results from another. When that inline
expansion is used in a context where only one of those results
is acceptable, e.g.
(defun foo (x)
(aref *a1* (position x *a2*)))
and the compiler can't prove that the unacceptable branch is
never taken, then bogus type mismatch warnings can be generated.
If you need to suppress the type mismatch warnings, you can
suppress the inline expansion,
(defun foo (x)
#+sbcl (declare (notinline position)) ; to suppress bug 117 bogowarnings
(aref *a1* (position x *a2*)))
or, sometimes, suppress them by declaring the result to be of an
appropriate type,
(defun foo (x)
(aref *a1* (the integer (position x *a2*))))
This is not a new compiler problem in 0.7.0, but the new compiler
transforms for FIND, POSITION, FIND-IF, and POSITION-IF make it
more conspicuous. If you don't need performance from these functions,
and the bogus warnings are a nuisance for you, you can return to
your pre-0.7.0 state of grace with
#+sbcl (declaim (notinline find position find-if position-if)) ; bug 117..
(see also bug 279)
124:
As of version 0.pre7.14, SBCL's implementation of MACROLET makes
the entire lexical environment at the point of MACROLET available
in the bodies of the macroexpander functions. In particular, it
allows the function bodies (which run at compile time) to try to
access lexical variables (which are only defined at runtime).
It doesn't even issue a warning, which is bad.
The SBCL behavior arguably conforms to the ANSI spec (since the
spec says that the behavior is undefined, ergo anything conforms).
However, it would be better to issue a compile-time error.
Unfortunately I (WHN) don't see any simple way to detect this
condition in order to issue such an error, so for the meantime
SBCL just does this weird broken "conforming" thing.
The ANSI standard says, in the definition of the special operator
MACROLET,
The macro-expansion functions defined by MACROLET are defined
in the lexical environment in which the MACROLET form appears.
Declarations and MACROLET and SYMBOL-MACROLET definitions affect
the local macro definitions in a MACROLET, but the consequences
are undefined if the local macro definitions reference any
local variable or function bindings that are visible in that
lexical environment.
Then it seems to contradict itself by giving the example
(defun foo (x flag)
(macrolet ((fudge (z)
;The parameters x and flag are not accessible
; at this point; a reference to flag would be to
; the global variable of that name.
` (if flag (* ,z ,z) ,z)))
;The parameters x and flag are accessible here.
(+ x
(fudge x)
(fudge (+ x 1)))))
The comment "a reference to flag would be to the global variable
of the same name" sounds like good behavior for the system to have.
but actual specification quoted above says that the actual behavior
is undefined.
(Since 0.7.8.23 macroexpanders are defined in a restricted version
of the lexical environment, containing no lexical variables and
functions, which seems to conform to ANSI and CLtL2, but signalling
a STYLE-WARNING for references to variables similar to locals might
be a good thing.)
135:
Ideally, uninterning a symbol would allow it, and its associated
FDEFINITION and PROCLAIM data, to be reclaimed by the GC. However,
at least as of sbcl-0.7.0, this isn't the case. Information about
FDEFINITIONs and PROCLAIMed properties is stored in globaldb.lisp
essentially in ordinary (non-weak) hash tables keyed by symbols.
Thus, once a system has an entry in this system, it tends to live
forever, even when it is uninterned and all other references to it
are lost.
143:
(reported by Jesse Bouwman 2001-10-24 through the unfortunately
prominent SourceForge web/db bug tracking system, which is
unfortunately not a reliable way to get a timely response from
the SBCL maintainers)
In the course of trying to build a test case for an
application error, I encountered this behavior:
If you start up sbcl, and then lay on CTRL-C for a
minute or two, the lisp process will eventually say:
%PRIMITIVE HALT called; the party is over.
and throw you into the monitor. If I start up lisp,
attach to the process with strace, and then do the same
(abusive) thing, I get instead:
access failure in heap page not marked as write-protected
and the monitor again. I don't know enough to have the
faintest idea of what is going on here.
This is with sbcl 6.12, uname -a reports:
Linux prep 2.2.19 #4 SMP Tue Apr 24 13:59:52 CDT 2001 i686 unknown
I (WHN) have verified that the same thing occurs on sbcl-0.pre7.141
under OpenBSD 2.9 on my X86 laptop. Do be patient when you try it:
it took more than two minutes (but less than five) for me.
145:
a.
ANSI allows types `(COMPLEX ,FOO) to use very hairy values for
FOO, e.g. (COMPLEX (AND REAL (SATISFIES ODDP))). The old CMU CL
COMPLEX implementation didn't deal with this, and hasn't been
upgraded to do so. (This doesn't seem to be a high priority
conformance problem, since seems hard to construct useful code
where it matters.)
[ partially fixed by CSR in 0.8.17.17 because of a PFD ansi-tests
report that (COMPLEX RATIO) was failing; still failing on types of
the form (AND NUMBER (SATISFIES REALP) (SATISFIES ZEROP)). ]
b. (fixed in 0.8.3.43)
146:
Floating point errors are reported poorly. E.g. on x86 OpenBSD
with sbcl-0.7.1,
* (expt 2.0 12777)
debugger invoked on condition of type SB-KERNEL:FLOATING-POINT-EXCEPTION:
An arithmetic error SB-KERNEL:FLOATING-POINT-EXCEPTION was signalled.
No traps are enabled? How can this be?
It should be possible to be much more specific (overflow, division
by zero, etc.) and of course the "How can this be?" should be fixable.

162:
(reported by Robert E. Brown 2002-04-16)
When a function is called with too few arguments, causing the
debugger to be entered, the uninitialized slots in the bad call frame
seem to cause GCish problems, being interpreted as tagged data even
though they're not. In particular, executing ROOM in the
debugger at that point causes AVER failures:
* (machine-type)
"X86"
* (lisp-implementation-version)
"0.7.2.12"
* (typep 10)
...
0] (room)
...
failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
(Christophe Rhodes reports that this doesn't occur on the SPARC, which
isn't too surprising since there are many differences in stack
implementation and GC conservatism between the X86 and other ports.)
This is probably the same bug as 216
173:
The compiler sometimes tries to constant-fold expressions before
it checks to see whether they can be reached. This can lead to
bogus warnings about errors in the constant folding, e.g. in code
like
(WHEN X
(WRITE-STRING (> X 0) "+" "0"))
compiled in a context where the compiler can prove that X is NIL,
and the compiler complains that (> X 0) causes a type error because
NIL isn't a valid argument to #'>. Until sbcl-0.7.4.10 or so this
caused a full WARNING, which made the bug really annoying because then
COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE returned FAILURE-P=T for perfectly legal
code. Since then the warning has been downgraded to STYLE-WARNING,
so it's still a bug but at least it's a little less annoying.
183: "IEEE floating point issues"
Even where floating point handling is being dealt with relatively
well (as of sbcl-0.7.5, on sparc/sunos and alpha; see bug #146), the
accrued-exceptions and current-exceptions part of the fp control
word don't seem to bear much relation to reality. E.g. on
SPARC/SunOS:
* (/ 1.0 0.0)
debugger invoked on condition of type DIVISION-BY-ZERO:
arithmetic error DIVISION-BY-ZERO signalled
0] (sb-vm::get-floating-point-modes)

This example could be solved with clever enough constraint
propagation or with SSA, but consider
(let ((x 0))
(loop (incf x 2)))
The careful type of X is {2k} :-(. Is it really important to be
able to work with unions of many intervals?
191: "Miscellaneous PCL deficiencies"
(reported by Alexey Dejneka sbcl-devel 2002-08-04)
a. DEFCLASS does not inform the compiler about generated
functions. Compiling a file with
(DEFCLASS A-CLASS ()

(DEFUN A-CLASS-X (A)
(WITH-SLOTS (A-CLASS-X) A
A-CLASS-X))
results in a STYLE-WARNING:

APD's fix for this was checked in to sbcl-0.7.6.20, but Pierre
Mai points out that the declamation of functions is in fact
incorrect in some cases (most notably for structure
classes). This means that at present erroneous attempts to use
WITH-SLOTS and the like on classes with metaclass STRUCTURE-CLASS
won't get the corresponding STYLE-WARNING.

206: ":SB-FLUID feature broken"
(reported by Antonio Martinez-Shotton sbcl-devel 2002-10-07)
Enabling :SB-FLUID in the target-features list in sbcl-0.7.8 breaks
the build.
207: "poorly distributed SXHASH results for compound data"
SBCL's SXHASH could probably try a little harder. ANSI: "the
intent is that an implementation should make a good-faith
effort to produce hash-codes that are well distributed
within the range of non-negative fixnums". But
(let ((hits (make-hash-table)))
(dotimes (i 16)
(dotimes (j 16)
(let* ((ij (cons i j))
(newlist (push ij (gethash (sxhash ij) hits))))
(when (cdr newlist)
(format t "~&collision: ~S~%" newlist))))))
reports lots of collisions in sbcl-0.7.8. A stronger MIX function
would be an obvious way of fix. Maybe it would be acceptably efficient
to redo MIX using a lookup into a 256-entry s-box containing
29-bit pseudorandom numbers?
211: "keywords processing"
a. :ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS T should allow a function to receive an odd

e. Compiling

; caught STYLE-WARNING:
; The variable #:G15 is defined but never used.
212: "Sequence functions and circular arguments"
COERCE, MERGE and CONCATENATE go into an infinite loop when given
circular arguments; it would be good for the user if they could be
given an error instead (ANSI 17.1.1 allows this behaviour on the part
of the implementation, as conforming code cannot give non-proper
sequences to these functions. MAP also has this problem (and
solution), though arguably the convenience of being able to do
(MAP 'LIST '+ FOO '#1=(1 . #1#))
might be classed as more important (though signalling an error when
all of the arguments are circular is probably desireable).
213: "Sequence functions and type checking"
b. MAP, when given a type argument that is SUBTYPEP LIST, does not
check that it will return a sequence of the given type. Fixing
it along the same lines as the others (cf. work done around
sbcl-0.7.8.45) is possible, but doing so efficiently didn't look
entirely straightforward.
c. All of these functions will silently accept a type of the form
(CONS INTEGER *)
whether or not the return value is of this type. This is
probably permitted by ANSI (see "Exceptional Situations" under
ANSI MAKE-SEQUENCE), but the DERIVE-TYPE mechanism does not
know about this escape clause, so code of the form
(INTEGERP (CAR (MAKE-SEQUENCE '(CONS INTEGER *) 2)))
can erroneously return T.
215: ":TEST-NOT handling by functions"
a. FIND and POSITION currently signal errors when given non-NIL for
both their :TEST and (deprecated) :TEST-NOT arguments, but by
ANSI 17.2 "the consequences are unspecified", which by ANSI 1.4.2
means that the effect is "unpredictable but harmless". It's not
clear what that actually means; it may preclude conforming
implementations from signalling errors.
b. COUNT, REMOVE and the like give priority to a :TEST-NOT argument
when conflict occurs. As a quality of implementation issue, it
might be preferable to treat :TEST and :TEST-NOT as being in some
sense the same &KEY, and effectively take the first test function in
the argument list.
c. Again, a quality of implementation issue: it would be good to issue a
STYLE-WARNING at compile-time for calls with :TEST-NOT, and a
WARNING for calls with both :TEST and :TEST-NOT; possibly this
latter should be WARNed about at execute-time too.
216: "debugger confused by frames with invalid number of arguments"
In sbcl-0.7.8.51, executing e.g. (VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND T), BACKTRACE, Q
leaves the system confused, enough so that (QUIT) no longer works.
It's as though the process of working with the uninitialized slot in
the bad VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND frame causes GC problems, though that may
not be the actual problem. (CMU CL 18c doesn't have problems with this.)
This is probably the same bug as 162
217: "Bad type operations with FUNCTION types"
In sbcl.0.7.7:
* (values-type-union (specifier-type '(function (base-char)))
(specifier-type '(function (integer))))
#<FUN-TYPE (FUNCTION (BASE-CHAR) *)>
It causes insertion of wrong type assertions into generated
code. E.g.
(defun foo (x s)
(let ((f (etypecase x
(character #'write-char)
(integer #'write-byte))))
(funcall f x s)
(etypecase x
(character (write-char x s))
(integer (write-byte x s)))))
Then (FOO #\1 *STANDARD-OUTPUT*) signals type error.
(In 0.7.9.1 the result type is (FUNCTION * *), so Python does not
produce invalid code, but type checking is not accurate.)
233: bugs in constraint propagation

(declaim (optimize (speed 2) (safety 3)))

(foo '(nil) '(t)) => NIL, T.
237: "Environment arguments to type functions"
a. Functions SUBTYPEP, TYPEP, UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE, and
UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE now have an optional environment
argument, but they ignore it completely. This is almost
certainly not correct.
b. Also, the compiler's optimizers for TYPEP have not been informed
about the new argument; consequently, they will not transform
calls of the form (TYPEP 1 'INTEGER NIL), even though this is
just as optimizeable as (TYPEP 1 'INTEGER).
238: "REPL compiler overenthusiasm for CLOS code"
From the REPL,
* (defclass foo () ())
* (defmethod bar ((x foo) (foo foo)) (call-next-method))
causes approximately 100 lines of code deletion notes. Some
discussion on this issue happened under the title 'Three "interesting"
bugs in PCL', resulting in a fix for this oververbosity from the
compiler proper; however, the problem persists in the interactor
because the notion of original source is not preserved: for the
compiler, the original source of the above expression is (DEFMETHOD
BAR ((X FOO) (FOO FOO)) (CALL-NEXT-METHOD)), while by the time the
compiler gets its hands on the code needing compilation from the REPL,
it has been macroexpanded several times.
A symptom of the same underlying problem, reported by Tony Martinez:
* (handler-case
(with-input-from-string (*query-io* " no")
(yes-or-no-p))
(simple-type-error () 'error))
; in: LAMBDA NIL

242: "WRITE-SEQUENCE suboptimality"
(observed from clx performance)
In sbcl-0.7.13, WRITE-SEQUENCE of a sequence of type
(SIMPLE-ARRAY (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) (*)) on a stream with element-type
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) will write to the stream one byte at a time,
rather than writing the sequence in one go, leading to severe
performance degradation.
243: "STYLE-WARNING overenthusiasm for unused variables"
(observed from clx compilation)
In sbcl-0.7.14, in the presence of the macros
(DEFMACRO FOO (X) `(BAR ,X))
(DEFMACRO BAR (X) (DECLARE (IGNORABLE X)) 'NIL)
somewhat surprising style warnings are emitted for
(COMPILE NIL '(LAMBDA (Y) (FOO Y))):
; in: LAMBDA (Y)
; (LAMBDA (Y) (FOO Y))
;
; caught STYLE-WARNING:
; The variable Y is defined but never used.
245: bugs in disassembler
b. On X86 operand size prefix is not recognized.
251:
(defun foo (&key (a :x))
(declare (fixnum a))
a)
does not cause a warning. (BTW: old SBCL issued a warning, but for a
function, which was never called!)
256:
Compiler does not emit warnings for
a. (lambda () (svref (make-array 8 :adjustable t) 1))
b. (lambda (x)
(list (let ((y (the real x)))
(unless (floatp y) (error ""))
y)
(integer-length x)))
c. (lambda (x)
(declare (optimize (debug 0)))
(declare (type vector x))
(list (fill-pointer x)
(svref x 1)))
257:
Complex array type does not have corresponding type specifier.
This is a problem because the compiler emits optimization notes when
you use a non-simple array, and without a type specifier for hairy
array types, there's no good way to tell it you're doing it
intentionally so that it should shut up and just compile the code.
Another problem is confusing error message "asserted type ARRAY
conflicts with derived type (VALUES SIMPLE-VECTOR &OPTIONAL)" during
compiling (LAMBDA (V) (VALUES (SVREF V 0) (VECTOR-POP V))).
The last problem is that when type assertions are converted to type
checks, types are represented with type specifiers, so we could lose
complex attribute. (Now this is probably not important, because
currently checks for complex arrays seem to be performed by
callees.)
259:
(compile nil '(lambda () (aref (make-array 0) 0))) compiles without
warning. Analogous cases with the index and length being equal and
greater than 0 are warned for; the problem here seems to be that the
type required for an array reference of this type is (INTEGER 0 (0))
which is canonicalized to NIL.
260:
a.
(let* ((s (gensym))
(t1 (specifier-type s)))

b. The same for CSUBTYPEP.
262: "yet another bug in inline expansion of local functions"
During inline expansion of a local function Python can try to
reference optimized away objects (functions, variables, CTRANs from
tags and blocks), which later may lead to problems. Some of the
cases are worked around by forbidding expansion in such cases, but
the better way would be to reimplement inline expansion by copying
IR1 structures.
266:
David Lichteblau provided (sbcl-devel 2003-06-01) a patch to fix
behaviour of streams with element-type (SIGNED-BYTE 8). The patch
looks reasonable, if not obviously correct; however, it caused the
PPC/Linux port to segfault during warm-init while loading
src/pcl/std-class.fasl. A workaround patch was made, but it would
be nice to understand why the first patch caused problems, and to
fix the cause if possible.
268: "wrong free declaration scope"
The following code must signal type error:
(locally (declare (optimize (safety 3)))
(flet ((foo (x &optional (y (car x)))
(declare (optimize (safety 0)))
(list x y)))
(funcall (eval #'foo) 1)))
270:
In the following function constraint propagator optimizes nothing:
(defun foo (x)
(declare (integer x))
(declare (optimize speed))
(typecase x
(fixnum "hala")
(fixnum "buba")
(bignum "hip")
(t "zuz")))
273:
Compilation of the following two forms causes "X is unbound" error:
(symbol-macrolet ((x pi))
(macrolet ((foo (y) (+ x y)))
(declaim (inline bar))
(defun bar (z)
(* z (foo 4)))))
(defun quux (z)
(bar z))
(See (COERCE (CDR X) 'FUNCTION) in IR1-CONVERT-INLINE-LAMBDA.)
274:
CLHS says that type declaration of a symbol macro should not affect
its expansion, but in SBCL it does. (If you like magic and want to
fix it, don't forget to change all uses of MACROEXPAND to
MACROEXPAND*.)
275:
The following code (taken from CLOCC) takes a lot of time to compile:
(defun foo (n)
(declare (type (integer 0 #.large-constant) n))
(expt 1/10 n))
(fixed in 0.8.2.51, but a test case would be good)
278:
a.
(defun foo ()
(declare (optimize speed))
(loop for i of-type (integer 0) from 0 by 2 below 10
collect i))
uses generic arithmetic.
b. (fixed in 0.8.3.6)
279: type propagation error -- correctly inferred type goes astray?
In sbcl-0.8.3 and sbcl-0.8.1.47, the warning
The binding of ABS-FOO is a (VALUES (INTEGER 0 0)

is emitted when compiling this file:
(declaim (ftype (function ((integer 0 #.most-positive-fixnum))

foo))
(defun foo (x)

(see also bug 117)
281: COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD error signalling.
(slightly obscured by a non-0 default value for
SB-PCL::*MAX-EMF-PRECOMPUTE-METHODS*)
It would be natural for COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD to signal errors
when it finds a method with invalid qualifiers. However, it
shouldn't signal errors when any such methods are not applicable to
the particular call being evaluated, and certainly it shouldn't when
simply precomputing effective methods that may never be called.
(setf sb-pcl::*max-emf-precompute-methods* 0)
(defgeneric foo (x)
(:method-combination +)
(:method ((x symbol)) 1)
(:method + ((x number)) x))
(foo 1) -> ERROR, but should simply return 1
The issue seems to be that construction of a discriminating function
calls COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD with methods that are not all applicable.
283: Thread safety: libc functions
There are places that we call unsafe-for-threading libc functions
that we should find alternatives for, or put locks around. Known or
strongly suspected problems, as of 0.8.3.10: please update this
bug instead of creating new ones
localtime() - called for timezone calculations in code/time.lisp
284: Thread safety: special variables
There are lots of special variables in SBCL, and I feel sure that at
least some of them are indicative of potentially thread-unsafe
parts of the system. See doc/internals/notes/threading-specials
286: "recursive known functions"
Self-call recognition conflicts with known function
recognition. Currently cross compiler and target COMPILE do not
recognize recursion, and in target compiler it can be disabled. We
can always disable it for known functions with RECURSIVE attribute,
but there remains a possibility of a function with a
(tail)-recursive simplification pass and transforms/VOPs for base
cases.
287: PPC/Linux miscompilation or corruption in first GC
When the runtime is compiled with -O3 on certain PPC/Linux machines, a
segmentation fault is reported at the point of first triggered GC,
during the compilation of DEFSTRUCT WRAPPER. As a temporary workaround,
the runtime is no longer compiled with -O3 on PPC/Linux, but it is likely
that this merely obscures, not solves, the underlying problem; as and when
underlying problems are fixed, it would be worth trying again to provoke
this problem.
288: fundamental cross-compilation issues (from old UGLINESS file)
Using host floating point numbers to represent target floating point
numbers, or host characters to represent target characters, is
theoretically shaky. (The characters are OK as long as the characters
are in the ANSI-guaranteed character set, though, so they aren't a
real problem as long as the sources don't need anything but that;
the floats are a real problem.)
289: "type checking and source-transforms"
a.
(block nil (let () (funcall #'+ (eval 'nil) (eval '1) (return :good))))
signals type error.
Our policy is to check argument types at the moment of a call. It
disagrees with ANSI, which says that type assertions are put
immediately onto argument expressions, but is easier to implement in
IR1 and is more compatible to type inference, inline expansion,
etc. IR1-transforms automatically keep this policy, but source
transforms for associative functions (such as +), being applied
during IR1-convertion, do not. It may be tolerable for direct calls
(+ x y z), but for (FUNCALL #'+ x y z) it is non-conformant.
b. Another aspect of this problem is efficiency. [x y + z +]
requires less registers than [x y z + +]. This transformation is
currently performed with source transforms, but it would be good to
also perform it in IR1 optimization phase.
290: Alpha floating point and denormalized traps
In SBCL 0.8.3.6x on the alpha, we work around what appears to be a
hardware or kernel deficiency: the status of the enable/disable
denormalized-float traps bit seems to be ambiguous; by the time we
get to os_restore_fp_control after a trap, denormalized traps seem
to be enabled. Since we don't want a trap every time someone uses a
denormalized float, in general, we mask out that bit when we restore
the control word; however, this clobbers any change the user might
have made.
296:
(reported by Adam Warner, sbcl-devel 2003-09-23)
The --load toplevel argument does not perform any sanitization of its
argument. As a result, files with Lisp pathname pattern characters
(#\* or #\?, for instance) or quotation marks can cause the system
to perform arbitrary behaviour.
297:
LOOP with non-constant arithmetic step clauses suffers from overzealous
type constraint: code of the form
(loop for d of-type double-float from 0d0 to 10d0 by x collect d)
compiles to a type restriction on X of (AND DOUBLE-FLOAT (REAL
(0))). However, an integral value of X should be legal, because
successive adds of integers to double-floats produces double-floats,
so none of the type restrictions in the code is violated.
300: (reported by Peter Graves) Function PEEK-CHAR checks PEEK-TYPE
argument type only after having read a character. This is caused
with EXPLICIT-CHECK attribute in DEFKNOWN. The similar problem
exists with =, /=, <, >, <=, >=. They were fixed, but it is probably
less error prone to have EXPLICIT-CHECK be a local declaration,
being put into the definition, instead of an attribute being kept in
a separate file; maybe also put it into SB-EXT?
301: ARRAY-SIMPLE-=-TYPE-METHOD breaks on corner cases which can arise
in NOTE-ASSUMED-TYPES
In sbcl-0.8.7.32, compiling the file
(defun foo (x y)
(declare (type integer x))
(declare (type (vector (or hash-table bit)) y))
(bletch 2 y))
(defun bar (x y)
(declare (type integer x))
(declare (type (simple-array base (2)) y))
(bletch 1 y))
gives the error

(if (> x 0)
(return-from foo
(eval `(if (> ,x 1)

(throw 'bar (values 3 4)))))))))))
(BUU 1) returns garbage.
The problem is that both EVALs sequentially write to the same LVAR.

(reported by Bruno Haible sbcl-devel "Incorrect value of

dubious values for CALL-ARGUMENTS-LIMIT (see cmucl-help/cmucl-imp

In theory, (open foo :element-type '(unsigned-byte <x>)) should work

325: "CLOSE :ABORT T on supeseding streams"
Closing a stream opened with :IF-EXISTS :SUPERSEDE with :ABORT T leaves no
file on disk, even if one existed before opening.
The illegality of this is not crystal clear, as the ANSI dictionary
entry for CLOSE says that when :ABORT is T superseded files are not
superseded (ie. the original should be restored), whereas the OPEN
entry says about :IF-EXISTS :SUPERSEDE "If possible, the
implementation should not destroy the old file until the new stream
is closed." -- implying that even though undesirable, early deletion
is legal. Restoring the original would none the less be the polite
thing to do.
326: "*PRINT-CIRCLE* crosstalk between streams"
In sbcl-0.8.10.48 it's possible for *PRINT-CIRCLE* references to be
mixed between streams when output operations are intermingled closely
enough (as by doing output on S2 from within (PRINT-OBJECT X S1) in the
test case below), so that e.g. the references #2# appears on a stream
with no preceding #2= on that stream to define it (because the #2= was
sent to another stream).
(cl:in-package :cl-user)
(defstruct foo index)
(defparameter *foo* (make-foo :index 4))
(defstruct bar)
(defparameter *bar* (make-bar))
(defparameter *tangle* (list *foo* *bar* *foo*))
(defmethod print-object ((foo foo) stream)
(let ((index (foo-index foo)))

It might be straightforward to fix this by turning the
*CIRCULARITY-HASH-TABLE* and *CIRCULARITY-COUNTER* variables into
per-stream slots, but (1) it would probably be sort of messy faking
up the special variable binding semantics using UNWIND-PROTECT and
(2) it might be sort of a pain to test that no other bugs had been
introduced.
328: "Profiling generic functions", transplanted from #241

(profile foo-bar)
(unintern 'foo-bar)
(defclass foo () ((bar :accessor foo-bar)))
gives the error message
"#:FOO-BAR already names an ordinary function or a macro."
Problem: when a generic function is profiled, it appears as an ordinary
function to PCL. (Remembering the uninterned accessor is OK, as the
redefinition must be able to remove old accessors from their generic
functions.)
329: "Sequential class redefinition"

Possible solution:
The method effective when the wrapper is obsoleted can be saved
in the wrapper, and then to update the instance just run through
all the old wrappers in order from oldest to newest.

339: "DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION bugs"
(reported by Bruno Haible via the clisp test suite)
a. Syntax checking laxity (should produce errors):
i. (define-method-combination foo :documentation :operator)
ii. (define-method-combination foo :documentation nil)
iii. (define-method-combination foo nil)
iv. (define-method-combination foo nil nil
(:arguments order &aux &key))
v. (define-method-combination foo nil nil (:arguments &whole))
vi. (define-method-combination foo nil nil (:generic-function))
vii. (define-method-combination foo nil nil (:generic-function bar baz))
viii. (define-method-combination foo nil nil (:generic-function (bar)))
ix. (define-method-combination foo nil ((3)))
x. (define-method-combination foo nil ((a)))
b. define-method-combination arguments lambda list badness
i. &aux args are currently unsupported;
ii. default values of &optional and &key arguments are ignored;
iii. supplied-p variables for &optional and &key arguments are not
bound.
c. qualifier matching incorrect
(progn
(define-method-combination mc27 ()
((normal ())
(ignored (:ignore :unused)))
`(list 'result
,@(mapcar #'(lambda (method) `(call-method ,method)) normal)))
(defgeneric test-mc27 (x)
(:method-combination mc27)
(:method :ignore ((x number)) (/ 0)))
(test-mc27 7))
should signal an invalid-method-error, as the :IGNORE (NUMBER)
method is applicable, and yet matches neither of the method group
qualifier patterns.
341: PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK / PPRINT-FILL / PPRINT-LINEAR sharing detection.
(from Paul Dietz' test suite)
CLHS on PPRINT-LINEAR and PPRINT-FILL (and PPRINT-TABULAR, though
that's slightly different) states that these functions perform
circular and shared structure detection on their object. Therefore,
a.(let ((*print-circle* t))
(pprint-linear *standard-output* (let ((x '(a))) (list x x))))
should print "(#1=(A) #1#)"
b.(let ((*print-circle* t))
(pprint-linear *standard-output*
(let ((x (cons nil nil))) (setf (cdr x) x) x)))
should print "#1=(NIL . #1#)"
(it is likely that the fault lies in PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK, as
suggested by the suggested implementation of PPRINT-TABULAR)
343: MOP:COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION overriding causes error
Even the simplest possible overriding of
COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION, suggested in the PCL implementation
as "canonical", does not work:
(defclass my-generic-function (standard-generic-function) ()
(:metaclass funcallable-standard-class))
(defmethod compute-discriminating-function ((gf my-generic-function))
(let ((dfun (call-next-method)))
(lambda (&rest args)
(apply dfun args))))
(defgeneric foo (x)
(:generic-function-class my-generic-function))
(defmethod foo (x) (+ x x))
(foo 5)
signals an error. This error is the same even if the LAMBDA is
replaced by (FUNCTION (SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA ...)). Maybe the
SET-FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE-FUN scary stuff in
src/code/target-defstruct.lisp is broken? This seems to be broken
in CMUCL 18e, so it's not caused by a recent change.
344: more (?) ROOM T problems (possibly part of bug 108)
In sbcl-0.8.12.51, and off and on leading up to it, the
SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE operations in ROOM T caused
unhandled condition (of type SB-INT:BUG):
failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
Several clever people have taken a shot at this without fixing
it; this time around (before sbcl-0.8.13 release) I (WHN) just
commented out the SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE calls until someone figures
out how to make them work reliably with the rest of the GC.
(Note: there's at least one dubious thing in room.lisp: see the
comment in VALID-OBJ)
346: alpha backtrace
In sbcl-0.8.13, all backtraces from errors caused by internal errors
on the alpha seem to have a "bogus stack frame".
349: PPRINT-INDENT rounding implementation decisions
At present, pprint-indent (and indeed the whole pretty printer)
more-or-less assumes that it's using a monospace font. That's
probably not too silly an assumption, but one piece of information
the current implementation loses is from requests to indent by a
non-integral amount. As of sbcl-0.8.15.9, the system silently
truncates the indentation to an integer at the point of request, but
maybe the non-integral value should be propagated through the
pprinter and only truncated at output? (So that indenting by 1/2
then 3/2 would indent by two spaces, not one?)
352: forward-referenced-class trouble
reported by Bruno Haible on sbcl-devel
(defclass c (a) ())
(setf (class-name (find-class 'a)) 'b)
(defclass a () (x))
(defclass b () (y))
(make-instance 'c)
Expected: an instance of c, with a slot named x
Got: debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 78906:
While computing the class precedence list of the class named C.
The class named B is a forward referenced class.
The class named B is a direct superclass of the class named C.
353: debugger suboptimalities on x86
On x86 backtraces for undefined functions start with a bogus stack
frame, and backtraces for throws to unknown catch tags with a "no
debug information" frame. These are both due to CODE-COMPONENT-FROM-BITS
(used on non-x86 platforms) being a more complete solution then what
is done on x86.
More generally, the debugger internals suffer from excessive x86/non-x86
conditionalization and OAOOMization: refactoring the common parts would
be good.
354: XEPs in backtraces
Under default compilation policy
(defun test ()
(throw :unknown t))
(test)
Has the XEP for TEST in the backtrace, not the TEST frame itself.
(sparc and x86 at least)
355: change-class of generic-function
(reported by Bruno Haible)
The MOP doesn't support change-class on a generic-function. However, SBCL
apparently supports it, since it doesn't give an error or warning when doing
so so. Then, however, it produces wrong results for calls to this generic
function.

357: defstruct inheritance of initforms
(reported by Bruno Haible)
When defstruct and defclass (with :metaclass structure-class) are mixed,
1. some slot initforms are ignored by the DEFSTRUCT generated constructor
function, and
2. all slot initforms are ignored by MAKE-INSTANCE. (This can be arguably
OK for initforms that were given in a DEFSTRUCT form, but for those
given in a DEFCLASS form, I think it qualifies as a bug.)
Test case:
(defstruct structure02a
slot1
(slot2 t)
(slot3 (floor pi)))
(defclass structure02b (structure02a)
((slot4 :initform -44)
(slot5)

358: :DECLARE argument to ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION
(reported by Bruno Haible)
According to ANSI CL, ensure-generic-function must accept a :DECLARE
keyword argument. In SBCL 0.8.16 it does not.
Test case:
(progn
(ensure-generic-function 'foo113 :declare '((optimize (speed 3))))
(sb-pcl:generic-function-declarations #'foo113))
Expected: ((OPTIMIZE (SPEED 3)))
Got: ERROR
Invalid initialization argument:
:DECLARE
in call for class #<SB-MOP:FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION>.
See also:
The ANSI Standard, Section 7.1.2
Bruno notes: The MOP specifies that ensure-generic-function accepts :DECLARATIONS.
The easiest way to be compliant to both specs is to accept both (exclusively
or cumulatively).
359: wrong default value for ensure-generic-function's :generic-function-class argument
(reported by Bruno Haible)
ANSI CL is silent on this, but the MOP's specification of ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION says:
"The remaining arguments are the complete set of keyword arguments
received by ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION."
and the spec of ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION-USING-CLASS:
":GENERIC-FUNCTION-CLASS - a class metaobject or a class name. If it is not
supplied, it defaults to the class named STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION."
This is not the case in SBCL. Test case:
(defclass my-generic-function (standard-generic-function)
()
(:metaclass sb-pcl:funcallable-standard-class))
(setf (fdefinition 'foo1)
(make-instance 'my-generic-function :name 'foo1))

This is a bug because ANSI CL HyperSpec/Body/locmac_call-m__make-method
says
"The macro call-method invokes the specified method, supplying it with
arguments and with definitions for call-next-method and for next-method-p.
If the invocation of call-method is lexically inside of a make-method,
the arguments are those that were supplied to that method. Otherwise
the arguments are those that were supplied to the generic function."
and the example uses nothing more than these two cases (as you can see by
doing (trace convert-effective-method)).

mention this possibility in the BNF for parameter-specializer-name;
however, this appears to be an editorial omission, since the CLHS
mentions issue CLASS-OBJECT-SPECIALIZER:AFFIRM as being approved
by X3J13. SBCL doesn't support it:

(frob 0 (make-e367))
can be made to cause two different problems, as noted in the comments:
bug 367a: Compile and load the file. No TYPE-ERROR is signalled at
run time (in the (S367-G367 Y) form of FROB, when Y is NIL
instead of an instance of S367). Instead (on x86/Linux at least)
we end up with a segfault.
bug 367b: Comment out the (DECLAIM (FTYPE ... R367)), and compile
the file. The compiler fails with TYPE-ERROR at compile time.
368: miscompiled OR (perhaps related to bug 367)
Trying to relax type declarations to find a workaround for bug 367,
it turns out that even when the return type isn't declared (or
declared to be T, anyway) the system remains confused about type
inference in code similar to that for bug 367:
(in-package :cl-user)
(declaim (optimize (safety 3) (debug 2) (speed 2) (space 1)))
(defstruct e368)
(defstruct i368)
(defstruct g368
(i368s (make-array 0 :fill-pointer t) :type (or (vector i368) null)))
(defstruct s368
(g368 (error "missing :G368") :type g368 :read-only t))
(declaim (ftype (function (fixnum (vector i368) e368) t) r368))
(declaim (ftype (function (fixnum (vector e368)) t) h368))
(defparameter *h368-was-called-p* nil)
(defun nsu (vertices e368)
(let ((i368s (g368-i368s (make-g368))))
(let ((fuis (r368 0 i368s e368)))
(format t "~&FUIS=~S~%" fuis)
(or fuis (h368 0 i368s)))))
(defun r368 (w x y)
(declare (ignore w x y))
nil)
(defun h368 (w x)
(declare (ignore w x))
(setf *h368-was-called-p* t)
(make-s368 :g368 (make-g368)))
(trace r368 h368)
(format t "~&calling NSU~%")
(let ((nsu (nsu #() (make-e368))))
(format t "~&NSU returned ~S~%" nsu)
(format t "~&*H368-WAS-CALLED-P*=~S~%" *h368-was-called-p*)
(assert (s368-p nsu))
(assert *h368-was-called-p*))
In sbcl-0.8.18, both ASSERTs fail, and (DISASSEMBLE 'NSU) shows
that no call to H368 is compiled.
369: unlike-an-intersection behavior of VALUES-TYPE-INTERSECTION
In sbcl-0.8.18.2, the identity $(x \cap y \cap y)=(x \cap y)$
does not hold for VALUES-TYPE-INTERSECTION, even for types which
can be intersected exactly, so that ASSERTs fail in this test case:
(in-package :cl-user)
(let ((types (mapcar #'sb-c::values-specifier-type
'((values (vector package) &optional)
(values (vector package) &rest t)
(values (vector hash-table) &rest t)
(values (vector hash-table) &optional)
(values t &optional)
(values t &rest t)
(values nil &optional)
(values nil &rest t)
(values sequence &optional)
(values sequence &rest t)
(values list &optional)
(values list &rest t)))))
(dolist (x types)
(dolist (y types)
(let ((i (sb-c::values-type-intersection x y)))
(assert (sb-c::type= i (sb-c::values-type-intersection i x)))
(assert (sb-c::type= i (sb-c::values-type-intersection i y)))))))
370: reader misbehaviour on large-exponent floats
(read-from-string "1.0s1000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
causes the reader to attempt to create a very large bignum (which it
will then attempt to coerce to a rational). While this isn't
completely wrong, it is probably not ideal -- checking the floating
point control word state and then returning the relevant float
(most-positive-short-float or short-float-infinity) or signalling an
error immediately would seem to make more sense.
372: floating-point overflow not signalled on ppc/darwin
The following assertions in float.pure.lisp fail on ppc/darwin
(Mac OS X version 10.3.7):
(assert (raises-error? (scale-float 1.0 most-positive-fixnum)
floating-point-overflow))
(assert (raises-error? (scale-float 1.0d0 (1+ most-positive-fixnum))
floating-point-overflow)))
as the SCALE-FLOAT just returns
#.SB-EXT:SINGLE/DOUBLE-FLOAT-POSITIVE-INFINITY. These tests have been
disabled on Darwin for now.
373: profiling issues on ppc/darwin
The following bit from smoke.impure.lisp fails on ppc/darwin:
(progn
(defun profiled-fun ()
(random 1d0))
(profile profiled-fun)
(loop repeat 100000 do (profiled-fun))
(report))
dropping into the debugger with a TYPE-ERROR:
The value -1073741382 is not of type UNSIGNED-BYTE.
The test has been disabled on Darwin till the bug is fixed.
374: BIT-AND problem on ppc/darwin:
The BIT-AND test in bit-vector.impure-cload.lisp results in
fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 8356:
GC invariant lost, file "gc-common.c", line 605
on ppc/darwin. Test disabled for the duration.
