Robert Strandh [Sat, 29 Jan 2011 01:50:40 +0000] 
Replaced `named-clause' by `name-clause' to conform to the HyperSpec.

Modified the parsing code so that all clauses are parsed with no
concern about the order.  Later, we need to check the order and
generate appropriate error messages if they are out of order.
Modified the definition of the class loop-body to contain this new
list of all the clauses.  Introduced a function parse-any-clause that
parses any clause.

Modified the code generation to take the new list of all clauses into
account.

Removed the function parse-variable-clause, because it is no longer
needed with the new way of parsing clauses.

Removed the function parse-main-clause, because it is no longer needed
with the new way of parsing clauses.

Added a comment about the HyperSpec definition of the conditional
clause.  Renamed existing function `parse-conditional' to
`parse-conditional-remaining' and introduced a "normal" parser called
`parse-conditional' that just does an alternative parse of if/when and
unless.

Added a comment about the HyperSpec definition of the termination-test
clause.  Renamed existing function `parse-termination-test' to
`parse-termination-test-remaining' and introduced a "normal" parser
called `parse-termination-test' that just does an alternative parse of
if/when and unless.

Robert Strandh [Fri, 28 Jan 2011 23:46:17 +0000] 
Fixed a problem where (form clause) was called on a do-clause, but
do-clause has multiple forms, so it should be `(progn ,(forms
clause)).

Another way of fixing this would have been to put the progn in the
clause instead.  I don't know what is best.

Robert Strandh [Sun, 12 Dec 2010 17:04:16 +0000] 
Changed from-end=t to from-end=true everywhere so as to reflect the
fact that from-end can be any generalized boolean.

For count, count-if, and count-if-not: introduced special versions
that are specialized on all the keyword parameters, but not on the
sequence type, and changed the main functions to use those new
versions.  The reason for this is that the corresponding compiler
macros (that have not been written yet) will not be able to determine
the sequence type, but can determine they keyword parameters, so the
compiler macros will use these new specialized functions.  The result
is that only the sequence type will have to be determined at execution
time, or perhaps not even then if the compiler can determine the type
by using type inference.

Modified specialized versions of the remove function when count=other
and from-end=t to use the new method of scanning a list from the end.

Robert Strandh [Sun, 5 Dec 2010 09:20:42 +0000] 
Introduced a utility function named copy-prefix to use with the
remove-family functions when seq-type=list.  Also applied some code
factoring to use other utility functions.

Currently, the find-family functions are all wrong for from-end=true
and count=other, because they destructively reverse the interval to be
checked.  It does put it back later, but in the presence of threads,
the current behavior is probably not wanted.  The plan, instead, is to
use the new method for scanning lists from end without consuming too
much stack.

Robert Strandh [Sun, 5 Dec 2010 06:32:56 +0000] 
Did some significant code factoring in count, count-if, and
count-if-not.  Also applied new method for scanning list from the end
when this is called for in count-if and count-if-not.  There are no
cases where we can cheat in those functions because the predicate may
be any function.  We *could* guess some common predicates that have no
side effects, but it probably is not worth it.

Robert Strandh [Sun, 5 Dec 2010 06:30:46 +0000] 
Made the presentation less verbose when tests pass.

Fixed a problem in stupid-count-if and stupid-count-if-not that
made most of the tests fail, even though they should have passed.

2 years agoNew method for traversing lists from the end, which is required by
Robert Strandh [Sat, 4 Dec 2010 16:06:53 +0000] 
New method for traversing lists from the end, which is required by
some sequence functions, in particular count when from-end is true.
This method uses recursion, and traverses during backtrack, but it
limits the stack depth to some fixed amount that can be set for
each implementation.

Modified existing specialized versions of count to take advantage of
the new method.  Some of them were correct in that they traversed from
end, using an auxiliary vector.  Some of them were wrong, because they
would scan from start to end even though key=other, so the key
function could have side effects, and so scanning from start to end
would have been a violation of the standard.

This new method gives us a very fast version of count when from-end is
true and either key is not identity or either test or test-not is
neither eql nor eq, i.e., when the test and/or the key might have side
effects.  We have observed execution times of only 1/3 of those of
SBCL on long lists.

Even though there is no requirement that the list be scanned from the
end when from-end is true in functions such as find, scanning from the
beginning can be penalizing when the test and/or the key functions are
costly to execute.  We might use our new method for those cases as
well, thus potentially saving a lot when the item looked for is close
to the end of the list.

More utility functions to use at the end of lists.

More renamings in order that the code conform to recent naming
conventions.

The entire code is in a limbo now.  Many tests fail.  This is work in
progress to get it back into a reasonable state.

Robert Strandh [Thu, 2 Dec 2010 16:50:20 +0000] 
Wrote tests for count, count-if, and count-if-not.  These tests
reveal several failures.

Robert Strandh [Thu, 2 Dec 2010 16:48:37 +0000] 
Introduced test-p and test-not-p into the count function,
so as to distinguish between the case where one of those
keyword argument is not given, or when an explicit nil is given.

Fixed a problem where the wrong specialized function was called when
neither test nor test-not were given.

Robert Strandh [Thu, 2 Dec 2010 16:09:09 +0000] 
Massive modifications due to several failures revealed by
improved tests.  Now all tests pass, but the coverage is still
low (around 15%).  But with the new testing strategy, this number
will now improve fairly rapidly.

2 years agoTotal change of strategy with respect to testing the sequence
Robert Strandh [Thu, 2 Dec 2010 13:52:58 +0000] 
Total change of strategy with respect to testing the sequence
functions.  It is just too time consuming and error prone to attempt
to list all relevant combinations of parameter values.  Instead, I now
automate the process by comparing values to a "stupid" version.

This strategy allows us to automatically generate many possible
combinations of arguments.

Unfortunately, this strategy makes lisp-unit less useful than it could
be.  I haven't made any decision as to whether to continue using it.
