I was looking at the tests after building, and I was wondering if there was any documentation for the with-test macro

fails-on means that it can run without hosing the whole thing but doesn't work correctly

and is there a higher-level meaning? Should tests that are broken-on in theory be fixed?

I've got a docstring fix at https://github.com/phmarek/sbcl/commit/9ffa314ce37d88e9458d19ec4bd2a5f22b1711ad

If you want... I thought that (once) registering that remote and then just "git remote update" and "git merge" would be easier

Hmm. There appears to be untapped potential to optimize various built-ins based on argument types. Sample ticket submitted.

re interruption and synchronisation primitives, I'm beginning to think that the only portable way (i.e., outside of just assuming we have something like futexes, which are available on linux, windows, many BSDs, and, apparently, hidden in OS X) to satisfy our reentrancy/atomicity requirements is to use some form of message passing to a background thread that doesn't get interrupted for GC, etc.

pfdietz: equal to string=, string= does more stuff than just strings and will error otherwise

probably not a big deal, as it's not simple-string, but could aid some bad-code detection

i have a large amount of notes on all kinds of possible optimizations, improvements, bad code detectors
