Log Message:
Update to 2.1.7.
New in version 2.1.7
* incompatible change: on certain platforms (currently just
x86-64), dynamic-extent arrays specialized on character and
numeric types and created without either :INITIAL-ELEMENT or
:INITIAL-CONTENTS will reflect previous contents of the stack
instead of #\null (or 0) in all elements.
* minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:START-PROFILING no longer
silently does nothing if the clock is already running. It
instead stop and restarts with the newly provided options, and
warns.
* minor incompatible change: the system attempts to refer to the
supplied pathname in compiler diagnostics, if relevant, rather
than the truename.
* enhancement: new contrib module sb-graph producing graphical
visualizations of Intermediate Representations of SBCL
compilation data structures.
* platform support:
* improved code generation for unary minus in modular contexts
on arm64.
* make the disassembler annotations slightly more robust on arm64.
* release space back to the Operating System on Windows.
* improve the test for whether pages need to be committed on Windows.
* fix a bug in the use of the VPCMPEQD opcode on
x86-64. (#1928516, thanks to Marco Heisig)
* optimization: the type of (LOOP ... COLLECT ...), and the type
of COLLECT INTO variables, is derived as LIST. (#1934577,
reported by SATO shinichi)
New in version 2.1.6
* minor incompatible change: COMPILE-FILE does not merge the input
file's pathname-directory into the output path if :OUTPUT-FILE
was specified and has a directory that is not :UNSPECIFIC.
* platform support:
* improvements to unwind code generation on arm64.
* on x86-64, accept three operands for vshufpd. (reported by
Bela Pecsek)
* on x86-64, improvements to use of popcount
* improve exception handling on 64-bit Windows. (thanks to
Luis Borges de Oliveira)
* bug fix: allow use of macros with improper argument
list. (#1929623, thanks to Sean Maher)
* bug fix: COERCE no longer attempts to guess what the user meant
if they provide a type specifier of a union of types other than
STRING. (#1929614)
* bug fix: print a single trailing zero after the decimal point
for FORMAT ~E if there are no digits remaining to be printed and
the width allows it. (#883520)
