Libraries incorporated via compile-whole-program are, by default,
not visible to environment or eval, unless libs-visible? is true;
complain if we try to visit such libraries.
original commit: 220dca39d0cb482a1cff3f31b8a3197f8b5ee1bc
- fixed an issue with the library system where an exception that occurs
during visit or revisit left the library in an inconsistent state that
caused it to appear that it was still in the process of running. This
manifested in it raising a cyclic dependency exception, even though
there really is not a cyclic dependency. The various library
management functions involved will now reset the part of the library
when an exception occurs. This also means that if the library visit
or revisit failed for a transient reason (such as a missing or
incorrect library version that can be fixed by updating the
library-directories) it is now possible to recover from these errors.

original commit: 6dbd72496fb4eaf5fb65453d0ae0a75f0ef2ad80
commonizatio pass and support for specifying default record
equal and hash procedures:
- more staid and consistent Mf-cross main target
Mf-cross
- cpletrec now replaces the incoming prelexes with new ones so
that it doesn't have to alter the flags on the incoming ones, since
the same expander output is passed through the compiler twice while
compiling a file with macro definitions or libraries. we were
getting away without this just by luck.
cpletrec.ss
- pure? and ivory? now return #t for a primref only if the prim is
declared to be a proc, since some non-proc prims are mutable, e.g.,
$active-threads and $collect-request-pending.
cp0.ss
- $error-handling-mode? and $eol-style? are now properly declared to
be procs rather than system state variables.
primdata.ss
- the new pass $check-prelex-flags verifies that prelex referenced,
multiply-referenced, and assigned flags are set when they
should be. (it doesn't, however, complain if a flag is set
when it need not be.) when the new system parameter
$enable-check-prelex-flags is set, $check-prelex-flags is
called after each major pass that produces Lsrc forms to verify
that the flags are set correctly in the output of the pass.
this parameter is unset by default but set when running the
mats.
cprep.ss, back.ss, compile.ss, primdata.ss,
mats/Mf-base
- removed the unnecessary set of prelex referenced flag from the
build-ref routines when we've just established that it is set.
syntax.ss, compile.ss
- equivalent-expansion? now prints differences to the current output
port to aid in debugging.
mat.ss
- the nanopass that patches calls to library globals into calls to
their local counterparts during whole-program optimization now
creates new prelexes and sets the prelex referenced, multiply
referenced, and assigned flags on the new prelexes rather than
destructively setting flags on the incoming prelexes. The
only known problems this fixes are (1) the multiply referenced
flag was not previously being set for cross-library calls when
it should have been, resulting in overly aggressive inlining
of library exports during whole-program optimization, and (2)
the referenced flag could sometimes be set for library exports
that aren't actually used in the final program, which could
prevent some unreachable code from being eliminated.
compile.ss
- added support for specifying default record-equal and
record-hash procedures.
primdata.ss, cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss, prims.ss, newhash.ss,
gc.c,
record.ms
- added missing call to relocate for subset-mode tc field, which
wasn't burning us because the only valid non-false value, the
symbol system, is in the static generation after the initial heap
compaction.
gc.c
- added a lambda-commonization pass that runs after the other
source optimizations, particularly inlining, and a new parameter
that controls how hard it works. the value of commonization-level
ranges from 0 through 9, with 0 disabling commonization and 9
maximizing it. The default value is 0 (disabled). At present,
for non-zero level n, the commonizer attempts to commonize
lambda expressions consisting of 2^(10-n) or more nodes.
commonization of one or more lambda expressions requires that
they have identical structure down to the leaf nodes for quote
expressions, references to unassigned variables, and primitives.
So that various downstream optimizations aren't disabled, there
are some additional restrictions, the most important of which
being that call-position expressions must be identical. The
commonizer works by abstracting the code into a helper that
takes the values of the differing leaf nodes as arguments.
the name of the helper is formed by concatenating the names of
the original procedures, separated by '&', and this is the name
that will show up in a stack trace. The source location will
be that of one of the original procedures. Profiling inhibits
commonization, because commonization requires profile source
locations to be identical.

- cpletrec now always produces a letrec rather than a let for
single immutable lambda bindings, even when not recursive, for
consistent expand/optimize output whether the commonizer is
run or not.

- trans-make-ftype-pointer no longer generates a call to
$verify-ftype-address if the address expression is a call to
ftype-pointer-address.

original commit: b6a3dcc814b64faacc9310fec4a4531fb3f18dcd
procedures with large numbers of variables:
- added pass-time tracking for pre-cpnanopass passes to compile.
compile.ss
- added inline handler for fxdiv-and-mod
cp0.ss, primdata.ss
- changed order in which return-point operations are done (adjust
sfp first, then store return values, then restore local saves) to
avoid storing return values to homes beyond the end of the stack
in cases where adjusting sfp might result in a call to dooverflood.
cpnanopass.ss, np-languages.ss
- removed unused {make-,}asm-return-registers bindings
cpnanopass.ss
- corrected the max-fv value field of the lambda produced by the
hand-coded bytevector=? handler.
cpnanopass.ss
- reduced live-pointer and inspector free-variable mask computation
overhead
cpnanopass.ss
- moved regvec cset copies to driver so they aren't copied each
time a uvar is assigned to a register. removed checks for
missing register csets, since registers always have csets.
cpnanopass.ss
- added closure-rep else clause in record-inspector-information!.
cpnanopass.ss
- augmented tree representation with a constant representation
for full trees to reduce the overhead of manipulating trees or
subtress with all bits set.
cpnanopass.ss
- tree-for-each now takes start and end offsets; this cuts the
cost of traversing and applying the action when the range of
applicable offsets is other than 0..tree-size.
cpnanopass.ss
- introduced the notion of poison variables to reduce the cost of
register/frame allocation for procedures with large sets of local
variables. When the number of local variables exceeds a given
limit (currently hardwired to 1000), each variable with a large
live range is considered poison. A reasonable set of variables
with large live ranges (the set of poison variables) is computed
by successive approximation to avoid excessive overhead. Poison
variables directly conflict with all spillables, and all non-poison
spillables indirectly conflict with all poison spillables through
a shared poison-cset. Thus poison variables cannot live in the
same location as any other variable, i.e., they poison the location.
Conflicts between frame locations and poison variables are handled
normally, which allows poison variables to be assigned to
move-related frame homes. Poison variables are spilled prior to
register allocation, so conflicts between registers and poison
variables are not represented. move relations between poison
variables and frame variables are recorded as usual, but other
move relations involving poison variables are not recorded.
cpnanopass.ss, np-languages.ss
- changed the way a uvar's degree is decremented by remove-victim!.
instead of checking for a conflict between each pair of victim
and keeper and decrementing when the conflict is found, remove-victim!
now decrements the degree of each var in each victim's conflict
set. while this might decrement other victims' degrees unnecessarily,
it can be much less expensive when large numbers of variables are
involved, since the number of conflicts between two non-poison
variables should be small due to the selection process for
(non-)poison variables and the fact that the unspillables introduced
by instruction selection should also have few conflicts. That
is, it reduces the worst-case complexity of decrementing degrees
from O(n^2) to O(n).
cpnanopass.ss
- took advice in compute-degree! comment to increment the uvars in
each registers csets rather than looping over the registers for
each uvar asking whether the register conflicts with the uvar.
cpnanopass.ss
- assign-new-frame! now zeros out save-weight for local saves, since
once they are explicitly saved and restored, they are no longer
call-live and thus have no save cost.
cpnanopass.ss
- desensitized the let-values source-caching timing test slightly

original commit: 3a49d0193ae57b8e31ec6a00b5b49db31a52373f
Add optional beginning-line and beginning-column components to a
source object, so that line and column information can be recorded
independent of the file. Add `locate-source-object-source` to use
the recorded information. Add a cache for `locate-source` as enabled by
the `use-cache?` optional argument, which can avoid compilation times
that are quadratic in the number of `let-values` or `define-values`
forms.

- stex is now a submodule. csug/Makefile and release_notes/Makefile
set and use the required Scheme and STEXLIB variables accordingly.
they default the machine type to a6le, but this can be overridden
and is by the generated top-level Makefile. the generated top-level
Makefile now has a new docs target that runs make in both csug and
release_notes, and an updated distclean target that cleans the same.
the annoying csug Makefile .fig.pdf rule redefinition is now gone.
copyright.stex and csug.stex now list May 2016 as the revision month
and date; this will have to be updated for future releases.
