* Support for moving code objects on the x86 port. Needed by the GENCGC version which places code objects in the dynamic space which are moved to the read-only space by purify. * Scavenger hook support; available with GENCGC. * Conditional support for scavenging the read-only space when the *scavenge-read-only-space* static symbol is defined. This is currently used with the x86 GENCGC version so that new-genesis can place code objects in the read-only space. * Hooks to GENCGC.

common binaries to be run on both: * The immediate-stack storage class has been removed, this is unnecessary as the descriptor-stack SC can be used. It may have once been part of some GC stragety to reduce the number of stack slots that needed to be noted for a GC. * The object allocation has been abstracted and cleaned up. This should produce slightly faster smaller code with CGC, and can be compiled to support inline allocation with GENCGC. CGC compiled code will run under GENCGC, and GENCGC binaries that don't use inline allocation will run under CGC. * A random hash is now placed in the unused symbol object slot (the symbol-hash slot). This saves flushing the info cache at each GC, and may have other uses for symbol based hash tables. Should help MP safety. * Common set of static symbols used by both CGC and GENCGC. * Corrections to the stack-ref VOP; now returns lisp objects not unsigned numbers. Required some patches to debug-int. * Inline unsigned/signed byte 32 to bignum allocation enabled. * Support for the x86 xadd instruction applied to instance slot and symbol values - may be handy for some MP code. * Bump up the FASL file version from 1 to 2.

types. Adds storage classes to the backend for these so they can be stored in registers or on the stack without consing; new primitive types etc. Also adds (simple-array (complex {single,double}-float)) array types to avoid consing and speed vectors operations. All these changes are conditional on the :complex-float feature. More work is needed to exploit these changes: improving the type dispatch in the various function; maybe compiler transforms or more VOPs to handle common functions inline.

Ok, here are the updated patches to make the same cmucl lisp.core work across OS versions under irix, still by making tzname resolved at runtime (on irix only).

registers off the stack to empty it rather than re-initialising the whole NPX state. This has the advantage that the flagged exceptions are preserved (they were just being flushed), and it also a little quicker.

foreign functions taking floating-point arguments after integer arguments but before the fourth argument (more or less; mips has unusual C calling conventions), and making cmucl work on IRIX 6.2 on the Onyx (where the system page size has changed). I've included the patches below, along with some discussion of the changes and a couple of problems with cmucl's interaction with dynamic loading. Also, there's a misc change to make ioctls work (I'm not sure for what version the released code worked, but it doesn't work on anything I have). The patches do not fix the R10000; cmucl continues to not work on it (O2 and Octane). The fixes make cmucl on the sgi use shared libraries so it can use dlopen et al in load-foreign; this is based on the solaris implementation. The problem with this is that the addresses of foreign variables are included directly in the dumped lisp image (without relocation on loading), which might result in a problem if cmucl is run with newer shared libraries than those it was compiled and dumped with. As far as I can tell, for the SGI at least, this does not affect function calls because the addresses used (and included in the dumped image) are those of stub routines that jump to the actual routines, thus are located in the executable proper rather than in the shared libraries, and so shouldn't be changed by a new version of the shared library. Unfortunately, this is not the case for global variables. Fortunately, there appear to only be two foreign variables used by cmucl in any of its system code winding up in the dumped image: errno and tzname. Apparently, Solaris relocates data references in dsos to match the program, while IRIX relocates data references in the program to match the dso. Thus, on Solaris, you don't need to do anything special for cmucl to work with a newer runtime libc, but on IRIX it gets the wrong value of errno and tzname. Unfortunately, the address of errno is different between irix 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 (all of which we have to have because SGI doesn't have a single cross-platform OS version yet), which would require a different lisp.core for each machine (you just need to run mk-lisp, not recompile) if it weren't for the hack below. But fortunately again, a lisp compiled for one version seems to be able to run on another version well enough to generate the new lisp.core (presumably the worst that would happen is that error messages could be confusing). It would be really nice to avoid this problem. Perhaps some kind of relocation table could be added to the dumped image format? I don't know enough about the system to know how possible or ridiculous that suggestion is, unfortunately. Is the Solaris behavior guaranteed to be the same in future releases? If not, or if any other platforms have the irix behavior, this might become a more general problem. In the meantime, we use a hack: we *define* errno in undefineds.c rather than just referencing it; this results in warnings from the linker, but it resolves the conflict in favor of the definition in the program, relocating libc to match, thus fixing this problem for errno. The other global variables, tzname et al, can't be fixed this way as easily because they're listed as weak symbols, essentially aliases for the real symbol, so redefining them wouldn't cause libc to reference the new version. Thus, as long as you don't use tzname, there's no problem right now (although there may be if any other library global variables are used in cmucl in the future). The definition of tzname is in a progn preceeded by a comment which says not to use it, so hopefully it's not in fact used and therefore not a problem. These patches have been tested on an R5000 O2 running irix 6.3 and a dual R4400 Onyx running irix 6.2. A previous version of these patches (for 17f) was tested on the onyx when it was running 5.3 (I think, maybe 5.2). The patches here are from the main branch of the CVS tar as of August 13. Incidentally, it was quite painful figuring out how to compile and bootstrap the current sources under the distributed irix 18a binary, even without trying :new-random or :signed-array (which I haven't tried to do yet); it might be nice to put a newer binary up...

required on the MIPS port where the NFP is a descriptor reg. Correct fix for the sparc is to not have the NFP defined as a BOXED register, it's defined as a non-descriptor register in compiler/sparc/vm.lisp and the GC was scavenging it and picking up bad pointers.

will place the instance in the static space but still move the substructure lists and arrays to the RO space. This is needed for compact-info environments which cache the last name in the instance which needs to be scavenged, but the hash arrays can still be placed in the RO space (the cache name was not being scavenge which could cause a false hit if very unlucky). Shall uses this new option in compiler/globaldb.lisp after people have had a chance to bootstrap in this new support.

(signed-byte 16), (signed-byte 30), (signed-byte 32). These patches include the general support and the x86 backend support; more to follow. The important changes are conditional on the :signed-array feature so shouldn't affect the source without this feature. This work has been driven by Raymond Toy.

been sharing the control stack with the compiler which could cause trouble (pushes and pops out of order, holes in arguments built up on the stack, exposed stack that can be written over on interrupt, etc) Assigned a static symbol, x86::*alien-stack*, and by default set it to the old C stack. A program many rebind this if it needs more room or wants the allocation elsewhere. The *alien-stack* is saved with the dynamic environment so is restored with a non-local exist. It's not save on function entry/exit so you need to take care to match an allocation with a deallocation. Makes use of new VOPs which are already in place. Backout an old alien stack deallocation hack.
