Thanks to Javier Olaechea. Fixes ----- * [r14808] CL:FILE-WRITE-DATE fixed for logical pathnames * ANSI-TEST ** Update references to new git repository at ** ABCL now runs the git master consolidated ANSI-TEST suite which features subdirectories and distinquished value for *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*. ** ABCL.TEST.ANSI:CLEAN-TESTS now acts recursively via appropiate Pathname wildcards to match new directory structure. * ASDF Fix COMPILE-SYSTEM to offer full ANSI environment for ASDF and ABCL-CONTRIB. * ABCL-ASDF ** Use of Maven has been robustified. *** [r14803] Fix usage with all known versions through maven-3.3.3 Addresses . *** [r14806] Fix usage with specifying local Maven repository ** More complete attempt at re-initialization via (ABCL-ASDF:INIT :force t) Version 1.3.2 ============= 19-APR-2015 Enhancements ------------ * Make result of DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO available at compilation time [r14727] Fixes ----- * Fix failed AVER [#289] [r14763] * Fix incorrect dead code elimination Additionally, don't recurse into flet/labels upon elimination of a single labels function; simply continue by changing the applicable set. Reported by Vibhu Mohindra. [r14754][r14756] * Numeric tower repairs on promoting floats across representation boundaries [r14749-50] (Massimiliano Ghilardi). * Return SIMPLE-ERROR for invalid external-format arguments.[r14735] * Lisp stack frame representation now formatted as unreadable. [r14738-9] Contrib ------- * JSS ** Fix GET-JAVA-FIELD and SET-JAVA-FIELD [r14718] ** no longer error on NO-SUCH-JAVA-FIELD, by setting fields as accessible where necessary [r14715] [r14725] * ABCL-ASDF ** Update to current Maven support (keep up with changing APIs through the Maven 3.2.3-3.2.5 hysteresis) [r14742-7] (Cyrus Hamon). ** Special-case JNA artifacts with alternate network location [r14733] ** Further work on ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE [r14732] (Cyrus Hamon) ** Find Maven under FreeBSD ports [r14723], under OS X Homebrew [r14776] * ABCL-JAR ** Fix ASDF-JAR:PACKAGE [#376] [r14717][r14720][r14736] (Eduardo Bellani) * ASDF ** Updated to version 3.1.4. Version 1.3.1 ============= 30-APR-2014 ## Fixed * The underlying Java Function Interface (JFI) now converts CL:T and CL:NIL to JAVA:+TRUE+ and JAVA:+FALSE+. Users who wish to reference a JAVA:+NULL+ should do so explicitly. * Make JCALL work in more places. Thanks to Olof-Joachim Frahm. * Interpolate CL:SLEEP and THREADS:OBJECT-WAIT for timeouts below the Planck timer ("1ns") to a nanosecond. * Update to ASDF 3.1.0.103. Fixes loading of Ironclad and other Quicklisp systems. * Fix Uniform Naming Convention (aka "UNC" or "network") paths under Windows. DIRECTORY now works again on UNC paths. UNC paths may be either specified with either back slash (#\\) or forward slash (#\/) doubled as the first character in a Pathname namestring. The patterns in ////[directories-and-files] are parsed as is stored as HOST. is stored as DEVICE. [directories-and-files] gets parsed as per the normal rules under Windows. Mixing namestrings with both backslash and slash characters can lead to unpredictable results. It is recommended not to use backslash characters in namestrings if it can be avoided. The pathname printed representation is always normalized to using forward slash delimiters. * Find contrib based on system jar name. From Olof-Joachim Frahm. Version 1.3.0 ============= 15-MAR-2014 ## Features * Make LispStackFrame.UNAVAILABLE_ARG a singleton object, and lazily create the little used portions of the Lisp stack. Aggressively cache and control the use of memory by the underlying Lisp stack frame representation by introducing the private LispThread.StackFrame and LispThread.StackSegments classes. Contributed by Dmitry Nadezhin. LispStackFrame object are allocated on every LispThread.execute(...) . However, they are seldom [accessed] ([... verify via] inspect[tion of the] stack trace). This patch delays allocation of LispStackFrame? objects until they are requested. Raw information about stack frames is stored in stack. Stack is an Object[] array (more precisely a list of [...]4 [Mib] Object[] arrays). ME: We are going to need a way to try to less agressively grab 4Mib chunks in low memory situations. Memory profiling of ABCL shows that the classes with largest allocation count are org.armedbear.lisp.LispStackFrame and org.armedbear.lisp.LispStackFrame.UnavailableArgument. Contributed by Dmitry Nadezhin. [r14572]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14572 [r14579]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14579 * ASDF 3.0.1.94 shipped with the implementation * per function call stack and memory exception handler in CL:COMPILE Inline calls to jrun-exception-protected (used by handler-bind to catch out of memory conditions). This commit saves generation roughly 50 cls files. [r14552]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14552 * SYS:SHA256 audited The functionality if the SYS:SHA256 algorithim has been audited for use on inputs of single for files with recently shipping ORCL Java 7 implementations (through jdk-1.7.0_51). [r14582]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14582 * Connect to NetBeans controlled JDWP via SLIME The Netbeans IDE configuration now includes a way to connect to the running-under-jdb ABCL via SLIME. One needs a version of SLIME able to be loaded from its 'swank.asd' definition. * Install 'abcl.jar' and 'abcl-contrib.jar' locally as Maven artifacts The Ant `abcl.mvn.install` target now installs build artifacts into the local Maven repository (Olof-Joachim Frahm) [r14579]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14606 ## Compatibility * CL:DIRECTORY The implementation specific :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS argument to the ANSI DIRECTORY function has been changed to nil. This implements behavior closer to SBCL and guarantees that a DIRECTORY operation will not signal a file error. [r14619]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14619 [ticket-340]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/340 ## Fixes * Fix CL:SLEEP for intervals less than a millisecond. For intervals less than or equal to a nanosecond, including an interval of zero, the current thread merely yields execution to other threads. [r14632]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14632 ## Tested ### "Java_HotSpot(TM)_64-Bit_Server_VM-Oracle_Corporation-1.7.0_51-b13" "x86_64-Mac_OS_X-10.9.1" ### "Java_HotSpot(TM)_64-Bit_Server_VM-Oracle_Corporation-1.8.0-b129" "x86_64-Mac_OS_X-10.9.2" ## Contrib #### abcl-asdf * Now working with both Maven 3.0.x and 3.1.x. Thanks to Anton for the help! [ticket-328]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/328 * cache Maven dependency resolution to avoid repeated lookups. Instead of calling ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE in both the ASDF COMPILE-OP and LOAD-OP, we now cache the result of invocation in COMPILE-OP and add this value in the LOAD-OP phase. Contributed by Cyrus Harmon. [r14631]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14631 #### jna Now references jna-4.0.0. Some incompatibility with CFFI ([in progress with fixing upstream][cffi-easye]).

Thanks @xach! Nota bene: all of the following systems need patches to work as of the 2012-10-13 Quicklisp. All patches have been accepted in at least an initial form by the upstream maintainers. ** CLOSER-MOP Quite possible with local patches ** CFFI Needs patches to 2012-10-13 Quicklisp.

Version 1.0.0 ============== 22-OCT-2011 Released at the European Common Lisp Meeting Amsterdam 2011 Features -------- * (Draft) manual * Much better Quicklisp system capabilities (trivial-garbage, bordeaux-threads, parenscript, cxml, et. al.) Changes ------- * Updated ASDF to 2.017.22 Fixes ----- * CLOSURE-HTML now compiles * DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION long form implemented Version 0.27.0 ============== Features -------- * ABCL works as an SBCL build host * Huge (> 64k) literal object support (fixes CL-UNICODE support) * The ABCL-ASDF contrib allows the specification of JAR-FILE or JAR-DIRECTORY components that can be resolved via a PATHNAME. The MVN component bootstraps a Maven3 Aether connector to locally replicate a versioned jar artifact for dynamic inclusion in the CLASSPATH. Changes ------- * Renamed LispObject.writeToString() method to (more Lispy) printObject() * New LispObject.princToString() for user readable output * Changed behaviour of LispObject.unreadableString() to signal errors when *PRINT-READABLY* is non-NIL * Static initializers moved to () (java: static { }) to prevent repeated execution when invoking the constructor multiple times * Compiler clean-ups * Changed implementation of LABELS to eliminate the need to *always* create a closure * File compiler (COMPILE-FILE) clean-ups * When calling a function with the wrong number of arguments, report the expected (range) of arguments * Upgraded ASDF to 2.017 * JSS:JLIST-TO-LIST now converts any java.list.List to a Lisp list. * The ASDF extensions from JSS for the "jar-directory", "jar-file", and "class-file-directory" types have been refactored into the ABCL-ASDF contrib as well as the *ADDED-TO-CLASSPATH* variable which records dynamically added dependencies. Use the JSS:ENSURE-COMPATIBILITY function to have JSS include these dependencies. * As long as ABCL-ASDF:ENSURE-MVN-VERSION can dynamically introspect and then load Maven 3 libraries at runtime, ASDF components of type MVN can now be used to specify versioned JVM artifacts. * Threads spawned by THREADS:MAKE-THREAD can terminate the Lisp image via the EXT:QUIT and EXT:EXIT functions.

Changes ------- * Merge 'unsafe-p-removal' branch. Version 0.24.0 ============== 22-JAN-2011 Features -------- * [svn r130103-r13107] Implemented JNULL_REF_P to distinguish a JAVA-OBJECT which contains a Java "null" from the Lisp NIL. * [svn r13102] More type-conversion helpers in JAVA package: LIST-FROM-JARRAY, VECTOR-FROM-JARRAY, and LIST-FROM-JENUMERATION. * [svn r13078] JVM::MAKE-CLASS-INTERFACE-FILE provides an interface for the creation of Java interfaces as serialized by the new classwriter code. An example of use can be found in "examples/misc/dynamic-interfaces.lisp". * [svn r13087] Upgraded to ASDF-2.012 Fixes ----- * [svn r13135] Fix the problem that FASLs can contain a limited number of functions. * [svn r13117][ticket #117] Fix stack inconsistency error. * [svn r13018][ticket #114] Fix strange backtrace growth. * [svn r13105] Fix Pathname.java failing to find boot.lisp in an "unpacked JAR" situation found by running ABCL in the Glassfish v3 servlet container. * [svn r13096] For arrays, add initialization with the default value of the element type if neither INITIAL-ELEMENT nor INITIAL-CONTENT have been specified. Found by: dmalves_ (freenode irc nick). * [svn r13094] Eliminate flushes after every character in javax.scripting support. * [svn r13090] Make --batch exit, use Lisp.exit() in places where applicable so that the streams are flushed, hence allowing --eval output to be flushed. * [svn r13088] Fix algorithim error in writing byte sequences via RandomAccessCharacterFile. Found and fixed by David Kirkman. Changes ------- * [svn r13141-13146,13156] Make ABCL a well behaving library to better support embedding: NEVER call System.exit() again. Instead, ABCL now throws org.armedbear.lisp.ProcessingTerminated and org.armedbear.lisp.IntegrityError. * [svn r13111] Added a "tools" directory available in SVN repository to contain tools for developing ABCL in various states. The first inhabitant is 'code-grapher.lisp' that provides a prototype to diagram a JVM instruction sequence via graphviz. * [svn r13101] Reduced verbosity of the AbclScriptEngine. * [svn r13097-13100] Slight refactoring of PATHNAME code, further specifying URI escaping rules. * [svn r13091-2] Better error reporting for UnhandledCondition thrown from the Interpreter, storing the originating Java error in the "cause" field if the cause is a subclass of JAVA_EXCEPTION.

Version 0.19 ============ 14-MAR-2010 Features -------- * [svn r12518] *DISASSEMBLER* may now contain a hook which returns the command to disassemble compiled functions. * [svn r12516] An implementation of user-extensible sequences as proposed in Christopher Rhodes, "User-extensible sequences in Common Lisp", Proc. of the 2007 International Lisp Conference. * [svn r12513] Implement SYS:SRC and SYS:JAVA logical pathname translations for system Lisp source and the root of the Java package structure, respectively. * [svn r12505] All calls to anonymous functions and local functions that have been declared inline are now converted to LET* forms, reducing stack usage and the number of generated classes. * [svn r12487] An initial port ASDF-INSTALL now forms the first ABCL contrib. Such contribs are optionally built by the Ant target 'abcl.contrib'. ASDF-INSTALL is not expected to work very well under Windows in its present state. * [svn r12447] [ticket:80] REQUIRE now searches for ASDF systems. * [svn r12422] Jar pathname support extensively re-worked and tested so that LOAD, PROBE-FILE, TRUENAME, DIRECTORY, and WRITE-FILE-DATE all work both for local and remote jar pathnames of the form "jar:URL!/JAR-ENTRY". The loading ASDF systems from jar files is now possible. SYS:PATHNAME-JAR-P predicate signals whether a pathname references a jar. NB: jar pathnames do *not* currently work as an argument to OPEN. SYS:UNZIP implemented to unpack ZIP files. SYS:ZIP now has a three argument version for creating zip files with hierarchical entries. * [svn r12450] Collect unprocessed command-line arguments in EXT:*COMMAND-LINE-ARGUMENT-LIST* (Dennis Lambe Jr.) * [svn r12414] SYS::%GET-OUTPUT-STREAM-ARRAY returns a Lisp byte array from a Java byte array stream. * [svn 12402] ABCL.TEST.LISP:RUN-MATCHING will now execute that subset of tests which match a string.

Our with-standard-io-syntax implementation now correctly resets all necessary pprint variables. Patch by Douglas R. Miles, thanks for the contribution! * [svn r12485] Pathnames starting with "." can now have TYPE. * [svn r12484] FASLs containing "." characters not used to indicate type (i.e. ".foo.bar.baz.abcl") can now be loaded. * [svn r12422] Pathname.java URL contructor under Windows now properly interprets the drive letter. * [svn r12449] The 'abcl.jar' produced by Netbeans now contains a valid manifest (found by Paul Griffionen). * [svn r12441] ZipCache now caches all references to ZipFiles based on the last-modified time for local files. Remote files are always retrieved due to problems in the underlying JVM code. SYS:REMOVE-ZIP-CACHE implements a way to invalidate an entry given a pathname. * [svn r12439] Remove duplication of java options in Windows 'abcl.bat' script. * [svn r12437] CHAR-CODE-LIMIT is the upper execlusive limit (found by Paul Griffionen). * [svn r12436] Describe formatting was missing a newline (reported by Blake McBride). * [svn 12469] Ensure that FILE-ERROR always has a value (possibly NIL) for its PATHNAME member. * [svn r14222] MERGE-PATHNAMES no longer potentially shares structure between its result and *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*. * [svn r12416] Fixed ANSI LAMBDA.nn test failures caused by errors in lambda inlining. * [svn r12417] [ticket:83] Fix TRANSLATE-LOGICAL-PATHNAME regression. (Alan Ruttenberg). * [svn r12412] Optimize memory efficiency of FORMAT by use of a hashtable rather than a CHAR-CODE-LIMIT array. * [svn r12408] FIND-SYMBOL requires a string argument. * [svn r12400] Make NIL (as symbol) available to the compiler. * [svn r12398] Move lambda list analysis to compile time where possible. * [svn r12397] BROADCAST-STREAM obeys default external format fixing ANSI MAKE-BROADCAST-STREAM.8. * [svn r12395] Improve arglist display for SLIME (Matthias Hölzl). * [svn r12394] Optimize array utilization in closures. * [svn r12393] Optimize array functions in compiler which don't require clearing the VALUES array. * [svn r12392] Optimize/normalize aspects of boot.lisp * [svn r12391] Prevent duplicated subclasses form occuring. Other ----- * [svn r12447] SYS::*MODULE-PROVIDER-FUNCTION* now provides a mechanism to extend the REQUIRE resolver mechanism at runtime. * [svn r12430] Ant based build no longer writes temporary files to contain the Lisp build instructions. * [svn r12481] STANDARD-CLASS now has slots to be inherited by deriving metaclasses in support of the (in progress) work on metaclass. * [svn r12425] No longer ignore the METACLASS defclass option in support of the (in progress) work on metaclass * [svn r12422] SYS::*LOAD-TRUENAME-FASL* now contains the TRUENAME of the Java "*.cls" component when loading a packed FASL. * [svn r12461] Human readable Java representations for class cast exceptions for NULL and UNBOUND values. * [svn r12453 et. ff.] Large numbers of the implementation of Java primitives have been declared in a way so that a stack trace provides a much more readable indication of what has been invoked. Primitives which extend Primitive are prefixed with "pf_"; those which extend SpecialOperator are prefixed with "sf_". * [svn r12422] The internal structure of a jar pathname has changed. Previously a pathname with a DEVICE that was itself a pathname referenced a jar. This convention was not able to simultaneously represent both jar entries that were themselves jar files (as occurs with packed FASLs within JARs) and devices which refer to drive letters under Windows. Now, a pathname which refers to a jar has a DEVICE which is a proper list of at most two entries. The first entry always references the "outer jar", and the second entry (if it exists) references the "inner jar". * [svn r12419] Ant 'abcl.release' target centralizes the build steps necessary for creating releases. * [svn r12409] Compiler now rewrites function calls with (LAMBDA …) as the operator to LET* forms. * [svn r12415] CLASS-FILE renamed to ABCL-CLASS-FILE to prepare for (in progress) reworking of Stream inheritance. * [svn r123406] 'test/lisp/abcl/bugs.lisp' forms a default location to add unit tests for current bug testing. The intention is to move these tests into the proper location elsewhere in the test suite once they have been fixed. * [svn r124040] Java tests upgraded to use junit-4.8.1. Netbeans project runtime classpath now uses compilation results before source directory, allowing the invocation of ABCL in interpreted mode if the Ant 'abcl.compile.lisp.skip' property is set. Java unit tests for some aspects of jar pathname work added. * New toplevel 'doc' directory now contains: + [svn r12410] Design for the (in progress) reworking of the Stream inheritance. + [svn r12433] Design and current status for the re-implementation of jar pathnames. * [svn r12402] Change ABCL unit tests to use the ABCL-TEST-LISP definition contained in 'abcl.asd'. Fixed and renabled math-tests. Added new tests for work related to handling jar pathnames. * [svn r12401] The REFERENCES-NEEDED-P field of the LOCAL-FUNCTION structure now tracks whether local functions need the capture of an actual function object.
