Major Section: NOTE-2-7
It was possible for guard verification to succeed where it should have failed. See the discussion under note-2-7-bug-fixes.
There have been changes in the guards generated from type declarations for the following cases. Thanks to Dave Greve and Matt Wilding for suggesting such changes.
(type (signed-byte n) val) (type (unsigned-byte n) val) (type (integer m n) val)The following examples illustrate the changes.
(type (signed-byte 4) x) ==> [old] (AND (INTEGERP X) (<= -8 X) (<= X 7)) ==> [new] (SIGNED-BYTE-P 4 X) (type (unsigned-byte 4) x) ==> [old] (AND (INTEGERP X) (<= 0 X) (<= X 15)) ==> [new] (UNSIGNED-BYTE-P 4 X)
