I have a large ancient codebase that uses the equivalent of (defconstant *varname* ...)

I redefined defconstant with (locally (declare (sb-ext:muffle-conditions style-warning sb-kernel:asterisks-around-constant-variable-name)) (cl:defconstant ... yet I still get the STYLE-WARNINGS printing out into the repl buffer even if they're not reported as warnings at the end

SBCL build time on my machine is down by 15 seconds, from 1:30 to 1:15. I wonder what caused that.

pfdietz: candidates are improved LZ-compression of debug information and improved pretty-printing of names within the compiler

well, just means you shouldn't ship it that way, but who cares about a declaration or two for development

would that only effect efficiency of compiled code, or are there correctness implications?

would be interesting to know how long does it take to build sbcl on one of the new amd chips, with 12 or 16, or even 32 cores
18:42:23
stassats
building sbcl is probably the only thing where i can benefit from more cores, but if it just goes from 50 seconds to 30 it's probably not worth it

stassats
should have better single-core performance too, but the next year should be even faster

(built with safety 0, with sb-fasteval to get make-host-1 to build in parallel too)
