- the collector now releases bignum temporaries in the collector
rather than relocating them so we don't keep around huge bignum
temporaries forever.
gc.c
- removed the presumably useless vector-handling code from load()
which used to be required to handle fasl groups.
scheme.c
- object files are no longer compressed as a whole, and the parameter
compile-compressed is no longer defined. instead, the individual
fasl objects within an object file are compressed whenever the
new parameter fasl-compressed is set to its default value, #t.
this allows the fasl reader to seek past portions of an object
file that are not of interest, i.e., visit-only code and data
when "revisiting" an object file and revisit-only code and data
when "visiting" an object file. the compressed portions are
compressed using the format and level specified by the compress-format
and compress-level parameters. the C-coded fasl reader and
boot-file loader no longer handle compressed files; these are
handled, less efficiently, by the Scheme entry point (fasl-read).
a warning exception is raised the first time a program attempts
to create or read a compressed fasl file.

- added begin wrappers around many of the Scheme source files that
contained multiple expressions to cut down the number of top-level
fasl objects and increase compressibility. also removed the
string filenames for debugging at the start of each file that had
one---these are best inserted universally by a modified compile-file
during a debugging session when desired. also removed unnecessary
top-level placeholder definitions for the assignments that follow.

- added invoke-library
syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
8.ms, root-experr*,
libraries.stex, release_notes.stex
- updated the date
release_notes.stex
- libraries contained within a whole program or library are now
marked pending before their invoke code is run so that invoke
cycles are reported as such rather than as attempts to invoke
while still loading.
compile.ss, syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
7.ms, root-experr*
- the library manager now protects against unbound references
from separately compiled libraries or programs to identifiers
ostensibly but not actually exported by (invisible) libraries
that exist only locally within a whole program. this is done by
marking the invisibility of the library in the library-info and
propagating it to libdesc records; the latter is checked upon
library import, visit, and invoke as well as by verify-loadability.
the import and visit code of each invisible no longer complains
about invisibility since it shouldn't be reachable.
syntax.ss, compile.ss, expand-lang.ss,
7.ms, 8.ms, root-experr*, patch*
- documented that compile-whole-xxx's linearization of the
library initialization code based on static dependencies might
not work for dynamic dependencies.
system.stex
- optimized bignum right shifts so the code (1) doesn't look at
shifted-off bigits if the bignum is positive, since it doesn't
need to know in that case if any bits are set; (2) doesn't look
at shifted-off bigits if the bignum is negative if it determines
that at least one bit is set in the bits shifted off the low-order
partially retained bigit; (3) quits looking, if it must look, for
one bits as soon as it finds one; (4) looks from both ends under
the assumption that set bits, if any, are most likely to be found
toward the high or low end of the bignum rather than just in the
middle; and (5) doesn't copy the retained bigits and then shift;
rather shifts as it copies. This leads to dramatic improvements
when the shift count is large and often significant improvements
otherwise.
number.c,

- threaded tc argument through to all calls to S_bignum and
S_trunc_rem so they don't have to call get_thread_context()
when it might already have been called.
alloc.c, number.c, fasl.c, print.c, prim5.c, externs.h
- added an expand-primitive handler to partially inline integer?.
cpnanopass.ss
- added some special cases for basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *,
/, quotient, remainder, and the div/div0/mod/mod0 operations) to
avoid doing unnecessary work for large bignums when the result
will be zero (e.g,. multiplying by 0), the same as one of the
inputs (e.g., adding 0 or multiplying by 1), or the additive
inverse of one of the inputs (e.g., subtracting from 0, dividing
by -1). This can have a major beneficial affect when operating
on large bignums in the cases handled. also converted some uses
of / into integer/ where going through the former would just add
overhead without the possibility of optimization.
5_3.ss,
number.c, externs.h, prim5.c,
5_3.ms, root-experr, patch*,

on the compress-level parameter. Prior to this it always used a
default setting for compression. the compress-level parameter
can now take on the new minimum in addition to low, medium, high,
and maximum. minimum is presently treated the same as low
except in the case of lz4 bytevector compression, where it
results in the use of LZ4_compress_default rather than the
slower but more effective LZ4_compress_HC.

original commit: 72d90e4c67849908da900d0b6249a1dedb5f8c7f
In previous versions of Chez Scheme, multiple object files could be
combined by concatinating them into a single file. To support faster
object file loading and loadability verification, recompile information
and information about libraries and top-level programs within an object
file is now placed at the top of the file. The new
concatenate-object-files procedure can be used to combine multiple object
files while moving this information to the top of the combined file.
original commit: d4ef2ad9393578ff3ffe3b712736bc6a4ae7b8eb
loadability without actually loading; also, support for unregistering
guarded objects.
- improved error reporting for library compilation-instance errors:
now including the name of the object file from which the "wrong"
compilation instance was loaded, if it was loaded from (or compiled
to) an object file and the original importing library, if it was
previously loaded from an object file due to a library import.
syntax.ss, 7.ss, interpret.ss,

- removed situation and for-input? arguments from $make-load-binary,
since the only consumer always passes 'load and #f.
7.ss,

- $separate-eval now prints the stderr and stdout of the subprocess
to help in diagnosing separate-eval and separate-compile issues.
mat.ss
- added unregister-guardian, which can be used to unregister
the unressurected objects registered with any guardian. guardian?
can be used to distinguish guardian procedures from other objects.

smgmt.stex, threads.stex
- added verify-loadability. given a situation (visit, revisit,
or load) and zero or more pathnames (each of which may be optionally
paired with a library search path), verity-loadability checks
whether the set of object files named by those pathnames and any
additional object files required by library requirements in the
given situation can be loaded together. it raises an exception
in each case where actually attempting to load the files would
raise an exception and additionally in cases where loading files
would result in the compilation or loading of source files in
place of the object files. if the check is successful,
verity-loadability returns an unspecified value. in either case,
although portions of the object files are read, none of the
information read from the object files is retained, and none of
the object code is read, so there are no side effects other than
the file operations and possibly the raising of an exception.
library and program info records are now moved to the top of each
object file produced by one of the file compilation routines,
just after recompile info, with a marker to allow verity-loadability
to stop reading once it reads all such records. this change is
not entirely backward compatible; the repositioning of the records
can be detected by a call to list-library made from a loaded file
before the definition of one or more libraries. it is fully
backward compatible for typical library files that contain a
single library definition and nothing else. adding this feature
required changes to the object-file format and corresponding
changes in the compiler and library manager. it also required
moving cross-library optimization information from library/ct-info
records (which verity-loadability must read) to the invoke-code
for each library (which verity-loadability does not read) to
avoid reading and permanently associating record-type descriptors
in the code with their uids.
compile.ss, syntax.ss, expand-lang.ss, primdata.ss, 7.ss,

- fixed a bug that bit only with the compiler compiled at
optimize-level 2: add-library/rt-records was building a library/ct-info
wrapper rather than a library/rt-info wrapper.
compile.ss
- fixed a bug in visit-library that could result in an indefinite
recursion: it was not checking to make sure the call to $visit
actually added compile-time info to the libdesc record. it's not
clear, however, whether the libdesc record can be missing
compile-time information on entry to visit-library, so the code
that calls $visit (and now checks for compile-time information
having been added) might not be reachable. ditto for
revisit-library.

original commit: b911ed47190727b0e1d6a88c0e473d1757accdcd
and functionality improvements (including support for measuring
coverage), primitive argument-checking fixes, and object-file changes
resulting in reduced load times (and some backward incompatibility):
- annotations are now preserved in object files for debug
only, for profiling only, for both, or not at all, depending
on the settings of generate-inspector-information and
compile-profile. in particular, when inspector information
is not enabled but profiling is, source information does
not leak into error messages and inspector output, though it is
still available via the profile tools. The mechanics of this
involved repurposing the fasl a? parameter to hold an annotation
flags value when it is not #f and remaking annotations with
new flags if necessary before emitting them.
compile.ss, fasl.ss, misc.ms
- altered a number of mats to produce correct results even
when the 's' directory is profiled.
misc.ms, cp0.ms, record.ms
- profile-release-counters is now generation-friendly; that is,
it doesn't look for dropped code objects in generations that have
not been collected since the last call to profile-release-counters.
also, it no longer allocates memory when it releases counters.
pdhtml.ss,
gc.c, gcwrapper.c, globals.h, prim5.c
- removed unused entry points S_ifile, S_ofile, and S_iofile
alloc.c, externs.h
- mats that test loading profile info into the compiler's database
to guide optimization now weed out preexisting entries, in case
the 's' directory is profiled.
4.ms, mat.ss, misc.ms, primvars.ms
- counters for dropped code objects are now released at the start
of each mat group.
mat.ss
- replaced ehc (enable-heap-check) option with hci (heap-check-interval)
option that allows heap checks to be performed periodically rather
than on each collection. hci=0 is equivalent to ehc=f (disabling
heap checks) and hci=1 is equivalent to ehc=t (enabling heap
checks every collection), while hci=100 enables heap checks only
every 100th collection. allx and bullyx mats use this feature
to reduce heap-checking overhead to a more reasonable level. this
is particularly important when the 's' directory is profiled,
since the amount of static memory to be checked is greatly increased
due to the counters.
mats/Mf-base, mat.ss, primvars.ms
- added a mat that calls #%show-allocation, which was otherwise not
being tested.
misc.ms
- removed a broken primvars mat and updated two others. in each case,
the mat was looking for information about primitives in the wrong
(i.e., old) place and silently succeeding when it didn't find any
primitives to tests. the revised mats (along with a few others) now
check to make sure at least one identifier has the information they
look for. the removed mat was checking for library information that
is now compiled in, so the mat is now unnecessary. the others were
(not) doing argument-error checks. fixing these turned up a handful of
problems that have also been fixed: a couple of unbound variables in the
mat driver, two broken primdata declarations, a tardy argument check
by profile-load-data, and a bug in char-ready?, which was requiring
an argument rather than defaulting it to the current input port.
primdata.ss, pdhtml.ss, io.ms,
primdvars.ms, 4.ms, 6.ms, misc.ms, patch*
- added initial support for recording coverage information. when the
new parameter generate-covin-files is set, the compiler generates
.covin files containing the universe of all source objects for which
profile forms are present in the expander output. when profiling
and generation of covin files are enabled in the 's' directory, the
mats optionally generate .covout files for each mat file giving
the subset of the universe covered by the mat file, along with an
all.covout in each mat output directory aggregating the coverage
for the directory and another all.covout in the top-level mat
directory aggregating the coverage for all directories.
back.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, primdata.ss, s/Mf-base,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, mats/primvars.ms
- support for generating covout files is now built in. with-coverage-output
gathers and dumps coverage information, and aggregate-coverage-output
combines (aggregates) covout files.
pdhtml.ss, primdata.ss, compile.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, primvars.ms
- profile-clear now adjusts active coverage trackers to avoid losing
coverage information.
pdhtml.ss,
prim5.c
- nested with-coverage calls are now supported.
pdhtml.ss
- switched to a more compact representation for covin and covout files;
reduces disk space (compressed or not) by about a factor of four
and read time by about a factor of two with no increase in write time.
primdata.ss, pdhtml.ss, cprep.ss, compile.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base
- added support for determining coverage for an entire run, including
coverage for expressions hit during boot time. 'all' mats now produce
run.covout files in each output directory, and 'allx' mats produce
an aggregate run.covout file in the mat directory.
pdhtml.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base
- profile-release-counters now adjusts active coverage trackers to
account for the counters that have been released.
pdhtml.ss,
prim5.c
- replaced the artificial "examples" target with a real "build-examples"
target so make won't think it always has to mats that depend upon
the examples directory having been compiled. mats make clean now
runs make clean in the examples directory.
mats/Mf-base
importing a library from an object file now just visits the object
file rather than doing a full load so that the run-time code for
the library is not retained. The run-time code is still read
because the current fasl format forces the entire file to be read,
but not retaining the code can lower heap size and garbage-collection
cost, particularly when many object-code libraries are imported.
The downside is that the file must be revisited if the run-time
code turns out to be required. This change exposed several
places where the code was failing to check if a revisit is needed.
syntax.ss,
7.ms, 8.ms, misc.ms, root-experr*
- fixed typos: was passing unquoted load rather than quoted load
to $load-library along one path (where it is loading source code
and therefore irrelevant), and was reporting src-path rather than
obj-path in a message about failing to define a library.
syntax.ss
- compile-file and friends now put all recompile information in
the first fasl object after the header so the library manager can
find it without loading the entire fasl file. The library manager
now does so. It also now checks to see if library object files
need to be recreated before loading them rather than loading them and
possibly recompiling them after discovering they are out of date, since
the latter requires loading the full object file even if it's out of
date, while the former takes advantage of the ability to extract just
recompile information. as well as reducing overhead, this eliminates
possibly undesirable side effects, such as creation and registration
of out-of-date nongenerative record-type descriptors. because the
library manager expects to find recompile information at the front of
an object file, it will not find all recompile information if object
files are "catted" together. also, compile-file has to hold in memory
the object code for all expressions in the file so that it can emit the
unified recompile information, rather than writing to the object file
incrementally, which can significantly increase the memory required
to compile a large file full of individual top-level forms. This does
not affect top-level programs, which were already handled as a whole,
or a typical library file that contains just a single library form.
compile.ss, syntax.ss
- the library manager now checks include files before library dependencies
when compile-imported-libraries is false (as it already did when
compile-imported-libraries is true) in case a source change affects
the set of imported libraries. (A library change can affect the set
of include files as well, but checking dependencies before include
files can cause unneeded libraries to be loaded.) The include-file
check is based on recompile-info rather than dependencies, but the
library checks are still based on dependencies.
syntax.ss
- fixed check for binding of scheme-version. (the check prevents
premature treatment of recompile-info records as Lexpand forms
to be passed to $interpret-backend.)
scheme.c
- strip-fasl-file now preserves recompile-info when compile-time info
is stripped.
strip.ss
- removed include-req* from library/ct-info and ctdesc records; it
is no longer needed now that all recompile information is maintained
separately.
expand-lang.ss, syntax.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, syntax.ss
- changed the fasl format and reworked a lot of code in the expander,
compiler, fasl writer, and fasl reader to allow the fasl reader
to skip past run-time information when it isn't needed and
compile-time information when it isn't needed. Skipping past
still involves reading and decoding when encrypted, but the fasl
reader no longer parses or allocates code and data in the portions
to be skipped. Side effects of associating record uids with rtds
are also avoided, as are the side effects of interning symbols
present only in the skipped data. Skipping past code objects
also reduces or eliminates the need to synchronize data and
instruction caches. Since the fasl reader no longer returns
compile-time (visit) or run-time (revisit) code and data when not
needed, the fasl reader no longer wraps these objects in a pair
with a 0 or 1 visit or revisit marker. To support this change,
the fasl writer generates separate top-level fasl entries (and
graphs) for separate forms in the same top-level source form
(e.g., begin or library). This reliably breaks eq-ness of shared
structure across these forms, which was previously broken only
when visit or revisit code was loaded at different times (this
is an incompatible change). Because of the change, fasl "groups"
are no longer needed, so they are no longer handled.
7.ss, cmacros.ss, compile.ss, expand-lang.ss, strip.ss,
externs.h, fasl.c, scheme.c,
hash.ms
- the change above is surfaced in an optional fasl-read "situation"
argument (visit, revisit, or load). The default is load. visit
causes it to skip past revisit code and data; revisit causes it
to skip past visit code and data; and load causes it not to skip
past either. visit-revisit data produced by (eval-when (visit
revisit) ---) is never skipped.
7.ss, primdata.ss,
io.stex
- to improve compile-time and run-time error checking, the
Lexpand recompile-info, library/rt-info, library-ct-info, and
program-info forms have been replaced with list-structured forms,
e.g., (recompile-info ,rcinfo).
expand-lang.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, interpret.ss, syntax.ss
- added visit-compiled-from-port and revisit-compiled-from-port
to complement the existing load-compiled-from-port.
7.ss, primdata.ss,
7.ms,
system.stex
- increased amount read when seeking an lz4-encrypted input
file from 32 to 1024 bytes at a time
compress-io.c
- replaced the fasl a? parameter value #t with an "all" flag value
so it's value is consistently a mask.
cmacros.ss, fasl.ss, compile.ss
- split off profile mats into a separate file
misc.ms, profile.ms (new), root-experr*, mats/Mf-base
- added coverage percent computations to mat allx/bullyx output
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, primvars.ms
- replaced coverage tables with more generic and generally useful
source tables, which map source objects to arbitrary values.
pdhtml.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, primdata.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, primvars.ms, profile.ms,
syntax.stex
- reduced profile counting overhead by using calls to fold-left
instead of calls to apply and map and by using fixnum operations
for profile counts on 64-bit machines.
pdhtml.ss
- used a critical section to fix a race condition in the calculations
of profile counts that sometimes resulted in bogus (including
negative) counts, especially when the 's' directory is profiled.
pdhtml.ss
- added discard flag to declaration for hashtable-size
primdata.ss
- redesigned the printed representation of source tables and rewrote
get-source-table! to read and store incrementally to reduce memory
overhead.
compile.ss
- added generate-covin-files to the set of parameters preserved
by compile-file, etc.
compile.ss,
system.stex
- moved covop argument before the undocumented machine and hostop
arguments to compile-port and compile-to-port. removed the
undocumented ofn argument from compile-to-port; using
(port-name ip) instead.
compile.ss, primdata.ss,
7.ms,
system.stex
- compile-port now tries to come up with a file position to supply
to make-read, which it can do if the port's positions are character
positions (presently string ports) or if the port is positioned
at zero.
compile.ss
- audited the argument-type-error fuzz mat exceptions and fixed a
host of problems this turned up (entries follow). added #f as
an invalid argument for every type for which #f is indeed invalid
to catch places where the maybe- prefix was missing on the argument
type. the mat tries hard to determine if the condition raised
(if any) as the result of an invalid argument is appropriate and
redirects the remainder to the mat-output (.mo) file prefixed
with 'Expected error', causing them to show up in the expected
error output so developers will be encouraged to audit them in
the future.
primvars.ms, mat.ss
- added an initial symbol? test on machine type names so we produce
an invalid machine type error message rather than something
confusing like "machine type #f is not supported".
compile.ss
- fixed declarations for many primitives that were specified as
accepting arguments of more general types than they actually
accept, such as number -> real for various numeric operations,
symbol -> endianness for various bytevector operations,
time -> time-utc for time-utc->date, and list -> list-of-string-pairs
for default-library-search-handler. also replaced some of the
sub-xxxx types with specific types such as sub-symbol -> endianness
in utf16->string, but only where they were causing issues with
the primvars argument-type-error fuzz mat. (this should be done
more generally.)
primdata.ss
- fixed incorrect who arguments (was map instead of fold-right,
current-date instead of time-utc->date); switched to using
define-who/set-who! generally.
4.ss, date.ss
- append! now checks all arguments before any mutation
5_2.ss
- with-source-path now properly supplies itself as who for the
string? argument check; callers like load now do their own checks.
7.ss
- added missing integer? check to $fold-bytevector-native-ref whose
lack could have resulted in a compile-time error.
cp0.ss
- fixed typo in output-port-buffer-mode error message
io.ss
- fixed who argument (was fx< rather than fx<?)
library.ss
- fixed declaration of first source-file-descriptor argument (was
sfd, now string)
primdata.ss
- added missing article 'a' in a few error messages
prims.ss
- fixed the copy-environment argument-type error message for the list
of symbols argument.
syntax.ss
- the environment procedure now catches exceptions that occur and
reraises the exception with itself as who if the condition isn't
already a who condition.
syntax.ss
- updated experr and allx patch files for changes to argument-count
fuzz mat and fixes for problems turned up by them.
root-experr*, patch*
- fixed a couple of issues setting port sizes: string and bytevector
output port put handlers don't need room to store the character
or byte, so they now set the size to the buffer length rather
than one less. binary-file-port-clear-output now sets the index
rather than size to zero; setting the size to zero is inappropriate
for some types of ports and could result in loss of buffering and
even suppression of future output. removed a couple of redundant
sets of the size that occur immediately after setting the buffer.
io.ss
- it is now possible to return from a call to with-profile-tracker
multiple times and not double-count (or worse) any counts.
pdhtml.ss, profile.ms
- read-token now requires a file position when it is handed a
source-file descriptor (since the source-file descriptor isn't
otherwise useful), and the source-file descriptor argument can
no longer be #f. the input file position plays the same role as
the input file position in get-datum/annotations. these extra
read-token arguments are now documented.
read.ss,
6.ms,
io.stex
- the source-file descriptor argument to get-datum/annotations can
no longer be #f. it was already documented that way.
read.ss
- read-token and do-read now look for the character-positions port
flag before asking if the port has port-position, since the latter
is slightly more expensive.
read.ss
- rd-error now reports the current port position if it can be determined
when fp isn't already set, i.e., when reading from a port without
character positions (presently any non string port) and fp has not
been passed in explicitly (to read-token or get-datum/annotations).
the port position might not be a character position, but it should be
better than nothing.
read.ss
- added comment noting an invariant for s_profile_release_counters.
prim5.c
- restored accidentally dropped fasl-write formdef and dropped
duplicate fasl-read formdef
io.stex
- added a 'coverage' target that tests the coverage of the Scheme-code
portions of Chez Scheme by the mats.
Makefile.in, Makefile-workarea.in
- added .PHONY declarations for all of the targets in the top-level
and workarea make files, and renamed the create-bintar, create-rpm,
and create-pkg targets bintar, rpm, and pkg.
Makefile.in, Makefile-workarea.in
- added missing --retain-static-relocation command-line argument and
updated the date
scheme.1.in

- added compress-level parameter to select a compression level for
file writing and changed the default for lz4 compression to do a
better job compressing. finished splitting glz input routines
apart from glz output routines and did a bit of other restructuring.
removed gzxfile struct-as-bytevector wrapper and moved its fd
into glzFile. moved DEACTIVATE to before glzdopen_input calls
in S_new_open_input_fd and S_compress_input_fd, since glzdopen_input
reads from the file and could block. the compress format and now
level are now recorded directly the thread context. replaced
as-gz? flag bit in compressed bytevector header word with a small
number of bits recording the compression format at the bottom of
the header word. flushed a couple of bytevector compression mats
that depended on the old representation. (these last few changes
should make adding new compression formats easier.) added
s-directory build options to choose whether to compress and, if
so, the format and level.

- improved the effectiveness of LZ4 boot-file compression to within
15% of gzip by increasing the lz4 output-port in_buffer size to
1<<18. With the previous size (1<<14) LZ4-compressed boot files
were about 50% larger. set the lz4 input-port in_buffer and
out_buffer sizes to 1<<12 and 1<<14. there's no clear win at
present for larger input-port buffer sizes.
compress-io.c
- To reduce the memory hit for the increased output-port in_buffer
size and the corresponding increase in computed out_buffer size,
one output-side out_buffer is now allocated (lazily) per thread
and stored in the thread context. The other buffers are now
directly a part of the lz4File_out and lz4File_in structures
rather than allocated separately.
compress-io.c, scheme.c, gc.c,
cmacros.ss
- split out the buffer emit code from glzwrite_lz4 into a
separate glzemit_lz4 helper that is now also used by gzclose
so we can avoid dealing with a NULL buffer in glzwrite_lz4.
glzwrite_lz4 also uses it to writing large buffers directly and
avoid the memcpy.
compress-io.c
- replaced lz4File_out and lz4File_in mode enumeration with the
compress format and inputp boolean. using switch to check and
raising exceptions for unexpected values to further simplify
adding new compression formats in the future.
compress-io.c
- replaced the never-defined struct lz4File pointer in glzFile
union with the more specific struct lz4File_in_r and Lz4File_out_r
pointers.
compress-io.h, compress-io.c
- added free of lz4 structures to gzclose. also changed file-close
logic generally so that (1) port is marked closed before anything is
freed to avoid dangling pointers in the case of an interrupt or
error, and (2) structures are freed even in the case of a write
or close error, before the error is reported. also now mallocing
glz and lz4 structures after possibility of errors have passed where
possible and freeing them when not.
compress-io.c,
io.ss
- added return-value checks to malloc calls and to a couple of other
C-library calls.
compress-io.c
- corrected EINTR checks to look at errno rather than return codes.
compress-io.c
- added S_ prefixes to the glz* exports
externs.h, compress-io.c, new-io.c, scheme.c, fasl.c
- added entries for mutex-name and mutex-thread

original commit: 722ffabef4c938bc92c0fe07f789a9ba350dc6c6
add name fields for mutexes and condition variables, now `make-mutex` and `make-condition` accept an optional argument `name`, which must be a symbol or #f. The name, if not #f, is printed every time the object is printed, which is useful for debugging.

- fixed handling of bintar, rpm, pkg make files
newrelease
- fixed a bug in the fasl representation and reading of mutually
recursive ftypes where one of the members of the cycle is the
parent of another, which manifested in the fasl reader raising
bogus "incompatible record type" exceptions. (The bug could also
affect other record-type descriptors with cycles involving parent
rtds and "extra" fields.) object files created before this fix
are incompatible with builds with this fix, and objects files
created after this fix are incompatible builds without this fix.

original commit: 766d591c18c2779866d1a059700e6ff1c02cb3c5
exposed the default-library-search-handler and a library-search-handler
parameter to permit more control over the search for libraries during
import, compile-whole-library, and compile-whole-program
original commit: 7b4fdd374f9cb973de1143bfcc830194b36befda
controversial, unless I damaged something in the process of integrating
them with other recent changes. the user's guide and release notes
have been updated as well to reflect the changes of interest to end
users.
- the body of load-library is now wrapped in a $pass-time with
to show the time spent loading libraries separately from the time
spent in expand.
syntax.ss
- interpret now plays the pass-time game
interpret.ss
- added compile-time-value? predicate and
compile-time-value-value accessor
syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
8.ms, primvars.ms, root-experr*
- $pass-stats now returns accurrate stats for the currently timed
pass.
7.ss
- compile-whole-program and compile-whole-library now propagate
recompile info from the named wpo file to the object file
to support maybe-compile-program and maybe-compile-library in
the case where compile-whole-{program,library} overwrites the
original object file.
compile.ss,
7.ms, mat.ss, primvars.ms
- replaced the ancient and unusable bintar with one that creates
a useful tarball for binary installs
bintar
- generated Mf-install InstallBin (InstallLib, InstallMan) now
correctly indirects through InstallPrefix if the --installbin
(--installlib, --installman) configure flag is not present.
src/configure
- removed definition of generate-procedure-source-information
patch.ss
- guardian tconc cells are now allocated in generation 0 in the hope
that they can be released more quickly.
gc.c
- added ftype-guardian syntax: (ftype-guardian A) creates a new
guardian for ftype pointers of type A, the first base field (or
one of the first base fields in the case of unions) of which must
be a word-sized integer with native endianness representing a
reference count. ftype pointers are registered with and retrieved
from the guardian just like objects are registered with and
retrieved from any guardian. the difference is that the garbage
collector decrements the reference count before resurrecting an
ftype pointer and resurrects only those whose reference counts
become zero, i.e., are ready for deallocation.

- fixed a bug in automatic recompilation handling of missing include
files specified with absolute pathnames or pathnames starting with
"./" or "..": was erroring out in file-modification-time with a
file-not-found or other exception rather than recompiling.
syntax.ss,

- changed inline vector-for-each and string-for-each code to
put the last call to the procedure in tail position, as was
already done for the library definitions and for the inline
code for for-each.
cp0.ss,
5_4.ms, 5_6.ms
- the compiler now generates better inline code for the bytevector
procedure. instead of one byte memory write for each argument,
it writes up to 4 (32-bit machines) or 8 (64-bit machines) bytes
at a time, which almost always results in fewer instructions and
fewer writes.
cpnanopass.ss,
bytevector.ms
- packaged unchanging implicit reader arguments into a single record
to reduce the number of arguments.
read.ss
- recoded run-vector to handle zero-length vectors. it appears
we're not presently generating empty vectors (representing empty
groups), but the fasl format permits them.
7.ss

Also, report an error if a string type is misused as an argument (for
foreign procedures) or result (for foreign callables) with
`__collect_safe`.
