================ C M U C L =============================================
CMUCL is a free, high performance implementation of the Common Lisp
programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. It
mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CMUCL provides a
sophisticated native code compiler; a powerful foreign function
interface; an implementation of CLOS; the Common Lisp Object System;
which includes multimethods and a metaobject protocol; a source-level
debugger and code profiler; and an Emacs-like editor implemented in
Common Lisp. CMUCL is maintained by a team of volunteers collaborating
over the Internet, and is in the public domain.
=== Installation instructions ==========================================
For each supported platform there are two gzipped tar archives, one
containing the base system, and the other (with extra in the name)
containing optional additional files supporting CLX, Hemlock, Gray
streams and so on.
For the Solaris/SPARC platform, the release binaries should work with
SunOS 5.5, 5.7 and 5.8 (also known respectively as Solaris 2.5,
Solaris 7 and Solaris 8). If you have an UltraSPARC processor you can
get the v9 binaries, which use instructions which are only present on
SPARC-v9 implementations; otherwise you should get the binaries
without v9 in the name of the tarball. If you have an UltraSPARC the
command uname -m will say sun4u, if you have an older machine such as
a SparcStation it will probably say sun4m.
Download the gzipped tar archives corresponding to your platform. You
can check the integrity of the files you have downloaded by comparing
the output of md5sum <filename> with that given in the file
md5sums.txt.
The release tarballs extract to the following directory structure:
bin/lisp
lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core
doc/cmucl/README (this file)
man/man1/cmucl.1
...
This allows you to install CMUCL directly under /usr/local, for
example using
cd /usr/local
tar xzf /path/to/cmucl-18d-<platform>.tar.gz
or alternatively, install under a directory in /opt, for example
mkdir /opt/cmucl-18d
cd /opt/cmucl-18d
tar xzf /path/to/cmucl-18d-<platform>.tar.gz
In the second case you will need to create a shell script to invoke
CMUCL. Copy the file /opt/cmucl-18d/bin/sample-wrapper to a directory
in your PATH (naming it cmucl for example), and replace both
occurrences of <<your-cmucl-path>> by /opt/cmucl-18d. Make sure that
this shell script is executable (using "chmod +x scriptname").
You can now invoke CMUCL: this should display a banner then show a
prompt (the default prompt is an asterisk).

documentation and tips on using CMUCL, and information regarding
mailing lists and bug reporting.
Enjoy using CMUCL!

========================== C M U C L 18 d =============================
[--- WORK IN PROGRESS --- DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ---]
The CMUCL project is pleased to announce the release of CMUCL 18d.
This is a major release which contains numerous enhancements and
bugfixes from the 18d release.
CMUCL is a free, high performance implementation of the Common Lisp
programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. It
mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CMUCL provides a
sophisticated native code compiler; a powerful foreign function
interface; an implementation of CLOS; the Common Lisp Object System;
which includes multimethods and a metaobject protocol; a source-level
debugger and code profiler; and an Emacs-like editor implemented in
Common Lisp. CMUCL is maintained by a team of volunteers collaborating
over the Internet, and is in the public domain.
Features new in this release:
* Feature enhancements:
- a new platform, OpenBSD/x86 is supported
- significant performance enhancements: code compiled with this
release is approximately 15% faster than with 18c
- Logical Pathname Translations can be auto-loaded
- The presence of gray streams support is now clearly announced in the
herald, and via the :gray-streams feature.
- Support for READ- and WRITE-SEQUENCE on Gray streams, via
STREAM-READ-SEQUENCE and STREAM-WRITE-SEQUENCE
- New :class keyword option for OPEN, which lets it return Gray streams
classes wrapped around lisp-streams.
- Facility for addition of clean-up hooks, that are called before CMU
CL is exited via EXT:QUIT.
- Added hooks that support the addition of advanced command processing
capabilities for user input (similar to the stuff ACL does)
- the modules: pathname is initialized sensibly, to make REQUIRE work
correctly out of the box. For example, you can now say
(require :clx) to load the precompiled clx-library subsystem.
- Report class information when describing symbols that are class
names.
- Compilation of PCL-generated code is now silent by default. This can
be controlled by changing pcl::*compile-lambda-silent-p*.
- Further ongoing speed tuning to various numerical routines.
- LOAD-FOREIGN has added :verbose option that honors *load-verbose*
- Support larger FD_SETSIZE on FreeBSD
- Debugger short-cuts to invoke available restarts now behave more
predictably (all available restarts get a numeric command, and named
restarts get their name as a command, unless that is already taken,
i.e. as is indicated by the debugger display)
- Improvements to disassembly listings on x86 and SPARC:
o Sparc v9 instructions are longer so make the opcode column wider.
o Allow printing of integer registers to use the Sparc register names
instead of the Lisp names.
o Add support for printing various notes during disassembly:
o Assembler routines, foreign functions, and foreign constants
o The value of constants in the code header
o References to static symbols
o Notes about pseudo-atomic stuff
o Some hints on header-word types
- Sparc port supports 64-bit integers for parameters and return
values when calling foreign functions.
- Try to use branch prediction on the sparc port.
- Compiler understands the type of SIGNUM now.
- Loading of files given by logical pathnames without a type
will do a search for possible fasl files instead of just
FASL.
- Some optimizations to ALIEN-SAP to speed up alien access.
* Numerous ANSI compliance fixes:
- EVAL-WHEN behaviour should now be in line with ANSI spec
- PROCLAIM no longer has a compile-time effect, so many old uses of this
should use DECLAIM instead
- DEFMACRO no has compile-time effect only when at toplevel
- The interaction of structure-printing and print-object now matches
ANSI spec more closely
- Duplicate keyword arguments are now allowed in lambda-list
destructuring operators.
- READTABLE-CASE is now copied by COPY-READTABLE
- fixes to the precedence lists of several error conditions
- :CLTL2, :DRAFT-ANSI-CL, :X3J13 features removed
- Removed various CLtL1/CLtL2-only exports from COMMON-LISP
(COMPILER-MACROEXPAND, COMPILER-MACROEXPAND-1, DEFINE-SETF-METHOD,
GET-SETF-METHOD, GET-SETF-METHOD-MULTIPLE-VALUE, LOGICAL-PATHNAME-P,
SIMPLE-CONDITION-FORMAT-STRING, GENERIC-FLET, GENERIC-LABELS,
WITH-ADDED-METHODS, HASH-TABLE-WEAK-P)
- changes to logical pathname semantics
- LOAD accepts :EXTERNAL-FORMAT as required by ANSI, but
doesn't do anything with it.
* Numerous bugfixes:
- fix for bogus warnings based on stale function type information for
redefined functions
- fix for printing of bit vectors (printer was incorrectly
respecting radix and base control vairables). Also bugfixes to
pretty printing of vectors
- Fix sxhash and equal hash tables for strings with fill-pointers
- read-sequence now works with byte-vectors and strings for
concatenated-streams
- Fix to handling of infinities in floating-point comparisons
- Fix bug in handling of certain complex numbers by log
- Fixed handling of floating point errors by handler-bind
- Fixed broken INVALID-METHOD-ERROR and added stricter checks in
standard method combination for the qualifiers on methods
- Fixed calling of NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD for GFs with no defined
methods
- Fixed missing coercion to class in argument processing of the
:METHOD-CLASS option to DEFGENERIC, which caused
GENERIC-FUNCTION-METHOD-CLASS to return the uncoerced class name,
breaking PCL and foreign code
- Various fixes to parameters and events in CLX
- COMPILE-FILE heeds logical-pathname translations for output file spec
- Rewrite of deftransform for concatenate, because the original
deftransform could cause the compiler to spend enormous (minutes!)
amounts of time trying to derive the type of the START variable.
- Allow only one docstring in relevant bodies, as processed by
system:parse-body
- Bugfix for handling of complex and non-numeric arguments to the ~f
format directive
- Better error checking for arguments to FILE-LENGTH, FLOAT-RADIX
- vector-push-extend works for adjustable arrays of zero length
- Respect :order argument to short form of define-method-combination
- Fix destructuring in AND sub-clauses of WITH-CLAUSES for LOOP
- IGNORE declarations work for symbol-macros now
- Changed handling of static libraries as the first argument to
load-foreign, so that all archive members are loaded (like the user
expects).
- Stricter argument checking for ADJUST-ARRAY, which also doesn't
shrink non-adjustable vectors in place anymore.
- Removed forced defaulting of unsupplied :direct-superclasses and
:direct-slots arguments by ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS, as required by
AMOP.
- Fixed shared-initialize for std-class to correctly interpret
unsupplied :direct-superclasses.
- CATCH now works correctly for immediate fixnum and character tags
- Fix some bugs in the ash deftransform.
- Fix a bug in printing logical pathnames with a file version
given.
- Fixed a sparc backend bug where offsets were generated that
couldn't fit in an offset field of an instruction.
- Complex division vop was wrong (only for Sparc with
:complex-vops *feature*)
- Stack clearing code is incorporated into the Sparc port
- The deprecated branch and taddcctv instructions shouldn't be
used at all on V9 builds.
* Other changes:
- Default for CMUCLLIB on Linux changed to match the default on other
Unices, namely /usr/local/lib/cmucl/lib/
* Code cleanups:
- Changes to PCL (the CLOS implementation included with CMUCL)
to remove code for other Common Lisp implementations.
- The features propagate-float-type, propagate-fun-type, and
constrain-float-type are now the default and only behaviour. Remove
those features from your build scripts.
* Changes to rebuilding procedure:
- the directory src/bootfiles/18c contains a number of files
required to bootstrap compilation from the 18c release. See the
README in that directory for usage instructions.
- the :NO-CLX, :NO-HEMLOCK etc features which are used to
control subsystem compilation during the build phase are no
longer present in the final cores.
- Added new new target 'initial-map' that can make a 'lisp.nm' file
from whatever 'lisp' executable is in the "target:lisp/" directory
without depending on the rest of the source code being
available. Used when setting up a build directory and/or when
internals.h doesn't yet exist.
- Various minor improvements to the Makefiles
This release is not binary compatible with code compiled using CMUCL
18c; you will need to recompile FASL files.
See <URL:http://www.cons.org/cmucl/> for download information,
guidelines on reporting bugs, and mailing list details.
We hope you enjoy using this release of CMUCL!
