Re: [Sbcl-devel] Weak hash tables early adopter edition

[<me...@ho...>]

The weak hash table patch has been updated.

http://retes.hu/~mega/tmp/wht2.diff

It is against 0.9.15.41. Changes since the previous one:

- non-eq based weak hash tables are supported
- ppc/gengc uses the same hash table code as x86/x86-64 [completely 
untested]
- initial port to cheneygc [completely untested, may not even compile]
- added some tests that work around conservatism when threads are 
available
- hopefully reduced conservatism a tiny bit by tightening up bounds of 
loops around preserve_pointer (review this)

At this point I'd normally say testers welcome, but since I haven't been 
able to compile sbcl with cheneygc or ppc/gengc (no luck with 
sourceforge compile farm) let's include in the welcome the adventerous 
souls willing to finish things up. Alternatively, if all else fails, 
get me access to a suitable box where a cheneygc sbcl normally 
compiles.
