[Sbcl-devel] API change about sb-simple-streams

[Chun T. (binghe) <bin...@gm...>]

Hi, all

SBCL's simple-stream implementation seems a little old since Allegro 
CL's simple-stream has some API change from 6.2 to 7.0:

in 
http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/8.0/doc/operators/excl/device-open.htm:


    device-open

*Arguments: */ stream slot-names initargs /

*Number of required arguments changed in release 7.0*. In release 6.2, 
this function had two required arguments, /simple-stream/ and /options/. 
In 7.0, it has three. The /initargs/ argument is essentially a new name 
for the old /options/ argument. *device-open* 
<http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/8.0/doc/operators/excl/device-open.htm> 
now is similar to *shared-initialize* 
<http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/8.0/ansicl/dictentr/shared-i.htm>. 


Should we (sbcl, I mean) do the same change in contrib/sb-simple-streams 
to follow Allegro CL?

Thanks.
