Clasp v2.5.0

Version 2.5.0 (LLVM15-17) 2024-01-01

Added

• New module named "gray-streams" which makes it possible to
  initialize the Gray stream protocol without calls to internal
  functions.
• New build mode :bytecode-faso which builds the kernel as native
  code (FASO) while the bytecode compiler is active.
• Generic gray:stream-file-length which implements cl:file-length
  for Gray streams.
• Generic versions of cl:pathname and cl:truename, both of which
  are available after the Gray stream modules is required.
• Generic (setf gray:stream-element-type),
  gray:stream-external-format, and
  (setf gray:stream-external-format) for basic support of bivalent
  streams.
• Generic gray:stream-file-string-length which implements
  cl:file-string-length for Gray streams.
• The bytecode compiler warns about unused variables.

Changed

• cl:format and pprint now respect the value returned by
  gray:stream-line-length.
• cl:close now uses the :abort argument to decide what to do with
  the resulting file. If :abort is non-NIL and the file was created
  as a result of :if-does-not-exist :create then the file is
  deleted. If :abort is non-NIL, there was an existing file and
  :if-exists is either :supersede or :rename-and-delete then the
  original file is restored.

Removed

• Obsolete :object, :ll, :bc, and :fasl build modes.

Fixed

• cl:read-line so it correctly returns lines that end with EOF.
• cl:read-byte so it respects the eof-error-p and eof-value
  arguments for Gray streams.
