<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>MLton.Finalizable.touch</tt> doesn't necessarily keep values alive long enough. Our SVN has a patch to the compiler. You must rebuild the compiler in order for the patch to take effect.

A bug in an optimization pass may incorrectly transform a program to flatten ref cells into their containing data structure, yielding a type-error in the transformed program. Our CVS has a <a class="external" href="http://mlton.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mlton/mlton/mlton/ssa/ref-flatten.fun.diff?r1=1.35&r2=1.37"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">patch</a> to the compiler. You must rebuild the compiler in order for the patch to take effect.

<p>
A bug in the front end mistakenly allows unary constructors to be used without an argument in patterns. For example, the following program is accepted, and triggers a large internal error.
<pre> fun f x = case x of SOME => true | _ => false</pre> We have fixed the problem in our CVS.

A bug in an optimization pass may incorrectly flatten ref cells into their containing data structure, breaking the sharing between the cells. Our CVS has a <a class="external" href="http://mlton.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mlton/mlton/mlton/ssa/ref-flatten.fun.diff?r1=1.32&r2=1.33"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">patch</a> to the compiler.

<p>
Some arrays or vectors, such as <tt>(char * char) vector</tt>, are incorrectly implemented, and will conflate the first and second components of each element. Our CVS has a <a class="external" href="http://mlton.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mlton/mlton/mlton/backend/packed-representation.fun.diff?r1=1.32&r2=1.33"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">patch</a> to the compiler.

<p>
<tt>Socket.Ctl.getLINGER</tt> and <tt>Socket.Ctl.setLINGER</tt> mistakenly raise <tt>Subscript</tt>.

<a href="ConcurrentML"> CML</a> <tt>Mailbox.send</tt> makes a call in the wrong atomic context.

<p>
<tt>OS.Path.joinDirFile</tt> and <tt>OS.Path.toString</tt> did not raise <tt>InvalidArc</tt> when they were supposed to. They now do.

<ul>
<li>
<p>
The front end incorrectly disallows sequences of expressions (separated by semicolons) after a topdec has already been processed. For example, the following is incorrectly rejected.
<pre> val x = 0;
ignore x;
ignore x;</pre> We have fixed the problem in our CVS.
</p>
<p>

<p>
<a id="6"></a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The front end incorrectly disallows expansive <tt>val</tt> declarations that bind a type variable that doesn't occur in the type of the value being bound. For example, the following is incorrectly rejected.
<pre> val 'a x = let exception E of 'a in () end</pre> We have fixed the problem in our CVS.

The x86 codegen fails to account for the possibility that a 64-bit move could interfere with itself (as simulated by 32-bit moves). We have fixed the problem in our CVS.

<p>
Thanks to Scott Cruzen for reporting this bug.

<p>
<a id="4"></a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>NetHostDB.scan</tt> and <tt>NetHostDB.fromString</tt> incorrectly raise an exception on internet addresses whose last component is a zero, e.g <tt>0.0.0.0</tt>. Our CVS has a <a class="external" href="http://mlton.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mlton/mlton/basis-library/net/net-host-db.sml.diff?r1=1.12&r2=1.13"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">patch</a> to the Basis Library implementation.

<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>StreamIO.inputLine</tt> has an off-by-one error causing it to drop the first character after a newline in some situations. Our CVS has a <a class="external" href="http://mlton.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mlton/mlton/basis-library/io/stream-io.fun.diff?r1=text&tr1=1.29&r2=text&tr2=1.30&diff_format=h"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">patch</a>. to the Basis Library implementation.

<p>
Thanks to Scott Cruzen for reporting this bug.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<a id="2"></a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>BinIO.getInstream</tt> and <tt>TextIO.getInstream</tt> are implemented incorrectly. This also impacts the behavior of <tt>BinIO.scanStream</tt> and <tt>TextIO.scanStream</tt>. If you (directly or indirectly) realize a <tt>TextIO.StreamIO.instream</tt> and do not (directly or indirectly) call <tt>TextIO.setInstream</tt> with a derived stream, you may lose input data. We have fixed the problem in our CVS.

</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>Posix.ProcEnv.setpgid</tt> doesn't work. If you compile a program that uses it, you will get a link time error
<pre>undefined reference to `Posix_ProcEnv_setpgid'</pre> The bug is due to <tt>Posix_ProcEnv_setpgid</tt> being omitted from the MLton runtime. We fixed the problem in our CVS by adding the following definition to <tt>runtime/Posix/ProcEnv/ProcEnv.c</tt>
<pre> Int Posix_ProcEnv_setpgid (Pid p, Gid g) {
return setpgid (p, g);
}
</pre>
