[Sbcl-devel] *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* patch

[Martin A. <ma...@at...>]

Hi,

I propose a change to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT*
Since the :TRACE-FILE argument to COMPILE-FILE has been removed, IMHO
it would be very handy for the user/developer to still have access to
that information, i.e. for diagnostic output.

So, I'd like to have *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* available, not
only if SB-SHOW is in *FEATURES*.
The attached patch, enables this. *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* is now
exported from package SB-EXT.

Besides that, the patch should fix some not yet rewritten stuff,
especially in compiler/target-disassem (and I hope I got that right!),
which I stumbled upon.
[There is also a cosmetic change to the output of the time-macro,
e.g. output is now prefixed by "; ", too.]


So, a trace-file can now be generated by a simple:

(with-open-file ( *compiler-trace-output* "zut1-trace"
                 :direction :output
                 :if-does-not-exist :create)
  (compile-file
   "zut1.lisp"))


Cheers,

Martin
