| 21 | <dt>Improved THE type checking</dt> |
|---|
| 22 | <dd>The compiler outputs type checks for simple enough types at |
|---|
| 23 | *safety* levels 1 and 2 now.<br /> |
|---|
| 24 | The interpreter checks simple enough types at all *safety* levels</dd> |
|---|
| 25 | <dt>ANSI test fixes</dt> |
|---|
| 26 | <dd>Fixed tests due to better initarg checking:<br /> |
|---|
| 27 | CHANGE-CLASS.1.11, MAKE-INSTANCE.ERROR.3, MAKE-INSTANCE.ERROR.4, |
|---|
| 28 | CHANGE-CLASS.ERROR.4 and SHARED-INITIALIZE.ERROR.4</dd> |
|---|
| 29 | <dt>Added JVM threading primitives</dt> |
|---|
| 30 | <dd>SYNCHRONIZED-ON, OBJECT-NOTIFY, OBJECT-NOTIFY-ALL equivalents of |
|---|
| 31 | the Java synchronized block, Object.notify() and Object.notifyAll()</dd> |
|---|
| 32 | <dt>New THREADS package to hold threading primitives</dt> |
|---|
| 33 | <dd>The symbols are retained in the old EXTENSIONS package until 0.22</dd> |
|---|
| 34 | <dt>Type checking for structure slot accessor functions</dt> |
|---|
| 35 | <dd>The generated accessor functions for structure slots now assert |
|---|
| 36 | the type of the argument passed in using a THE form</dd> |
|---|
| 37 | <dt>Fixed breakage when combining the pretty printer and Gray streams</dt> |
|---|
| 38 | <dd>The fixes mean changes to the generic functions in Gray streams |
|---|
| 39 | to compensate for the fact that the pretty printer wraps streams.</dd> |
|---|
| 40 | <dt>Various performance improvements</dt> |
