It seems I've gained commit access to SBCL, which makes me busy cleaning up and committing my own patches ;) before getting on with package locks — which should go on a branch soonish, I think.

Tentative short-term TODO:

  • Bugfix: Failed aver triggered by a DEFCLASS with identical reader and writer names (should be caught earlier and give a meaningful error message). Patch done, but needs to be cleaned up and thought about.
  • Bugfix: CLOSE :ABORT T should not supersede files, but restore the original, nor should it delete files being appended to.
  • Packagelocks-onna-stick.
  • MAKE-ARRAY transforms are being prevented by :INITIAL-CONTENTS — nothing a compiler-macro can't fix.

In other news, last exam for this semester is tomorrow, indicating the time for a few days of well earned R&R. Also, I've been thinking about cobbling an RSS for this log, though not sure how as of yet: since these are static pages that leaves out some popular options.
