[cmucl-imp] Linux 8-bit binaries are wrong
by Raymond Toy 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

I just noticed that the 8-bit binaries for linux after June 2011 are wrong. They're actually the unicode binaries. The 2012-01 binary is ok. I'm too lazy to go back and fix those snapshots, but I should probably go and fix the 20c release though. Ray

[cmucl-imp] Happy New Year
by Raymond Toy 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

With the start of a new year (where do they all go?), the first snapshot of 2012 has been tagged. Binaries will be uploaded soon. Only a couple of user-visible changes have been added. Most of the changes are just code cleanups. See the release notes for details. Ray

[cmucl-imp] 2011-12 snapshot tagged
by Raymond Toy 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

The 2011-12 snapshot has been tagged. Binaries will be uploaded soon. The main changes in this snapshot are an update to string-to-octets, an update to asdf 2.019, and a reordering of the directories. (An unfortunate side-effect is that the history of the files didn't follow the files. The history is still there, but you have to checkout an old version to see it. If someone knows how to fix this, if possible, I'd appreciate your help.) Ray

[cmucl-imp] ASDF 2.019 released
by Faré 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Dear CL users, I released ASDF 2.018.21 as 2.019. Please test and upon success update your implementations and distributions. Since 2.018, we have the following improvements: User-Facing Changes: * UI: Create and use a load-systems abstraction, in view of using it in a system-granular parallelizing backend. (.15) * Usability: when a system can't be found, there's now a restart to retry finding a system after reinitializing the source-registry (.10). * Feature: :around-compile now accepts lambda expressions, and also strings, so you can specify future wrappers that can't even be read yet. (.11, .12). * Filesystem: recursing through logical pathnames in LispWorks (.2, .3), on SBCL as on CMUCL, have asdf:subdirectories follow symlinks (.8., .9) Change in Internals: * Configuration: modify user-configuration-directories and system-configuration-directories to return all valid directory names even when they don't exist yet so you may create them (.6), also output name of non-existing configuration file when opening them for writing (.7), * Internals: strcat (.5), split locate-systems from find-systems (.6) Bug Fixes: * Portability: Debugged CormanLisp support (.1). Fix type declaration for SCL (.17). Tweaked for Genera (.21). * Bug fix: don't drop pathname components without a / at the end when reading a path using GETENV (.18). (Bug from 2.017.27) Closes debian bug #647544. * Bug fix: don't redefine reinitialize-instance in ways that break its contract and its clients (such as asdf-dependency-grovel). Use change-class to reset slots (.16), but not to 'standard-object, which breaks ecl, rather to a proto-system class (.19), and not using keys with breaks genera (.21). (Bug from 2.017.3) * Bug fix: buglet in maybe-add-tree (.4) Upgrade: * Upgrade: unintern internals of signature changed in 2.017.12 (.13), have *system-definition-search-functions* not be a defparameter, but a defvar with a fixup (.14), clear *systems-being-defined* when upgrading asdf but re-find them immediately because they may be needed as part of a higher operation (.14). Unintern some more functions that have changed signature (.20). Happy Hacking! —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions, and were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions. — George Santayana

[cmucl-imp] Remvoing hppa-assem.s
by Raymond Toy 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I don't know why hppa-assem.s is checked in, but it confuses git on a case-insenstive file system like HPFS on a Mac. I'm going to delete this file. This file is not referenced in any of the Config files or Makefiles. I'm guessing it's the preprocessed version of hppa-assem.S. (There are probably lots of other files that could be removed, like the hppa directories, but I'm not going there.) Ray

[cmucl-imp] New directory structure
by Raymond Toy 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Currently when you clone cmucl, you get a directory structure like cmucl/ BUILDING assembly/ code/ compiler/ tools/ <etc> I want to change the structure to be cmucl/ BUILDING bin/ build.sh build-all.sh create-target.sh src/ This is much convenient when using git. It might be possible to rearrange things even more, but I think this is good enough. I'm tired of having to cd to src to git diffs and logs and such. With this structure, I don't have to anymore.

[cmucl-imp] string-to-octets
by Helmut Eller 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

I'm wondering how STRING-TO-OCTETS can be used with a fixed sized byte buffer. For example we want to write a long string to a byte stream using a fixed size byte buffer. STRING-TO-OCTETS seems to return the buffer and the number of bytes written. E.g. (let ((buffer (make-array 20 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8))) (string (make-string 100 :initial-element #\a))) (stream:string-to-octets string :external-format :utf32 :buffer buffer)) Returns a new vector (non-eq to buffer) and 404. Shouldn't one return value also indicate how many characters were converted so that the conversion can be continued at that character offset without allocating a fresh buffer? Helmut

[cmucl-imp] Upcoming release
by Raymond Toy 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

I noticed that it has been a year since our last release, so it's time once again for another release. A new branch has been created (RELEASE-20c-BRANCH) for the release. This time, I'm not going to do any pre-release. We'll make just the one build due at the end of this month for the 20c release. If it's broken for some reason, we'll send a patch if possible. If it's really broken, we'll recommend people to use the following snapshot. (Of course, because of the release, there will not be a snapshot for Nov.) Ray
