[Sbcl-devel] freeze for sbcl-1.1.7

[Christophe Rhodes]

Dear all,

It's time to freeze exciting new development so that I can release
sbcl-1.1.7 late next week. I would be particularly grateful if we could
arrange testing what is currently there, and fixes for any issues
revealed, before I perform the release dance. To that end, maybe what
is currently in master could be considered "release candidate 1" for
sbcl-1.1.7?

Thank you,

Christophe

Hi,

I recall that some time ago MIPS testing was needed.

I am making efforts to build a MIPS Linux image on an emulator
(technically, a Yocto project's quemu'able image) running on my
laptop.Supposing that I can get things wired up correctly, I will
bootstrap SBCL up to HEAD and execute SBCL's tests on the emulator and
report back to the list the results.

The default settings for the image are mips32 fpu-hard bigendian and o32.

Threaded FreeBSD 8.3/x86 passes tests as expected, and threaded free 9.1/x86-64 fails a bunch of tests:
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (UNDEFINED-FUNCTION BUG-353)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / BACKTRACE-INTERRUPTED-CONDITION-WAIT
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (DIVIDE-BY-ZERO BUG-346)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (DIVIDE-BY-ZERO BUG-356)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (THROW NO-SUCH-TAG)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / BUG-308926
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / XEP-TOO-MANY-ARGUMENTS
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (BACKTRACE TL-XEP)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (BACKTRACE MORE-PROCESSOR)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (BACKTRACE XEP)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / CLOS-SLOT-TYPECHECKFUN-NAMED
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / (DEBUGGER SOURCE 1)
Failure: debug.impure.lisp / GF-DISPATCH-BACKTRACE

but 1.1.6 was the exact same (I don't know how long it's been that way)

OS X 10.8.2/x86 consistently causes my macbook to kernel panic during tests, both with and without threads.

Threaded OS X 10.8.2/x86-64:
Unexpected success: debug.impure.lisp / BACKTRACE-INTERRUPTED-CONDITION-WAIT

Threaded and unthreaded Linux 3.2/x86 and x86-64 pass tests as expected.

What would you like to do about the Windows build? The status is the same as 1.1.6 and 1.1.5: everything appears to work except sb-concurrency, which fails its test suite. For the moment, I've uploaded binaries to the experimental folder, to make sure people who use them know what they are getting themselves into.
