If the `#:protocols` clauses of a `define-objc-class` form includes
errors, but it simplifies the declaration of protocols that are
introduced in different versions of a framework, and it's effectively
more compatible with the implementation before dc0898f5ef.
This commit merges changes that were developed in the "racket7" repo.
See that repo (which is no longer modified) for a more fine-grained
change history.
The commit includes experimental support for running Racket on Chez
Scheme, but that "CS" variant is not built by default.
The `#:blocking?` argument has no effect for now, but it will enable
better cooperation with OS thread in Racket-on-Chez. Function that
block indefinitely in a place, for example, will need to be called
with `#:blocking? #t` to prevent stalling GCs in other places.
Add a `_bytes` variant type that will work more consistently with
Racket-on-Chez, where the representation of a byte string does not
include an implicit nul terminator.
Provide unsafe functions for working with file descriptors and
sockets. Although more functions are potentially useful, these
reflect the one scurrently exported by the C API.
This make-c-id allows an author to specify a convention for how
to connect and identifier defined with define-ffi-definer and
the actual symbol in the file.
* Adds docs.
* Adds tests.
* Adds history.
Accessing unsafe functionality through the FFI seemed like a good way
to avoid writing C code, but it made things more complicated instead
of easier, and it interacts badly with a more agressive shift away
from C (such as porting to Chez Scheme). So, add functions to the
primitive `#%unsafe` module, instead.
Although "macOS" is the correct name for Apple's current desktop OS,
we've decided to go with "Mac OS" to cover all of Apple's Unix-like
desktop OS versions. The label "Mac OS" is more readable, clear in
context (i.e., unlikely to be confused with the Mac OSes that
proceeded Mac OS X), and as likely to match Apple's future OS names
as anything.
lookup-errno now returns #f when given an unknown symbol instead
of raising a contract error. It should not return #f for any
symbol that it previously accepted.
When an array value is provided, make sure that it's an array
with at least the expected length (or longer) and same element
layout. That's weaker than checking that the array elements have
the right type, because an `eq?` check at the ctype layer seems
too strong, and the ctype API doesn't provide enough information
for a more flexible equality.
Expose tagged allocation and a function that interprets a description
of tagged shapes. As a furst cut, the description can only specify
constant offsets for pointers within the object, but future extensions
are possible.
