- Update to version 1.1.8
* Notice:
+ The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.
* New feature:
+ minimal runtime/compiler intrastructure support
for SSE SIMD values, as SB-EXT:SIMD-PACK. Enabled on x86-64
via the build-time
+ sb-simd-pack. This should enable intrinsics extensions
as libraries, without patching SBCL itself.
* Enhancement:
+ RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
the working directory of the spawned process.
(lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
+ boxed vectors (vectors of T or of FIXNUM) can now
be stack-allocated on PPC.
+ "fixed objects" can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
+ WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS no longer conses on PPC/GENCGC.
+ (sb-introspect:find-definition-sources-by-name x :vop) now
also returns VOPs which do not translate any functions, and
finds defoptimizer types ir2convert and stack-allocate-result.
+ better type derivation for APPEND, NCONC, LIST. (lp#538957)
+ MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of ROOM) now walks the heap
in a manner similar to the GC rather than its previous ad-hoc
scheme, and is therefore no less and possibly more accurate.
+ fixes and enhancements related to Unicode:
- the character database information has been updated to
Unicode 6.2;
- support for canonical and compatibility decomposition of (forwarded request 177777 from toganm)
