When the mutability decision on a variable is delayed, but then the
variable is discovered to be mutable before the delay is triggered,
then mutability information could get lost.
Mutability analysis may determine that a `set!` is dead code, and then
the mutated variable might be optimized away, so don't leave the dead
`set!` behind.
When the srcloc-enriched S-expression representation a function that
is available for cross-module inlining has a source that is not a
path, string, or symbol, then the source has to be dropped in the
module's serialized form.
On a 64-bit machine, the problem was a `<` versus `<=`.
On a 32-bit machine where 4294967087 is not a fixnum, the
problem was in how bignums are handled.
Previously, `error` would raise an `exn:fail` with the following message,
because it treated the first of the three strings as a format string
and the other two as its arguments:
> error: format string requires 0 arguments, given 2;
> arguments were:
> " is a procedure, to always escape when called"
> " (by calling raise-blame-error with the arguments it was given"`
The main change is to disable forced GCs during the documentation
phase in a parallel `raco setup`. Since each GC is global (instead of
place local) in Racket CS, these forced GCs created a scaling problem.
Furthermore, they're not really necessary; peak memory use tends to
remain the same without them in a parallel build, since the
".zo"-building phase doens't have extra collections and tends to
establish peak memory use.
A non-parallel build still includes explicitly forced GCs. In that
mode, the cost is modest while reducing peak use by 30%.
A new environment variable appends timestamps (in process time since
startup) for each status line, which is useful for generating more
detailed build plots.
Since a GC with accounting doesn't run in parallel, it discards
owner-thread information (ironically) that is used for parallel
collection. Losing ownership information could reduce parallelism in
later collections --- but only if they run without accounting.
This commit does not turn on ownership tracking, however, because
experiments suggest that it isn't worthwhile for Racket:
* Preserving ownership information slows down a major collection in
accounting mode by 5-10%.
* Racket uses accounting mode only for full collections, and the loss
of ownership information would mostly affect only later full
collections. Since accounting momde tends to stick around, very
little parallelism is actually lost.
* Without further work, accounting mode cannot benefit from
parallelization, because it works by stepping sequentially through
accounting domains, and that aligns with thread ownership. A
possible improvement is to look ahead in the accounting-domain
object sequence to find one that starts in another ownership
domain, and then constrain concurrent tracing from that object to
keep the count private and not leave the ownership domain until the
accounting sequence has caught up.
Besides making it easier to turn on "parallel" collection for
accounting mode, the small refactorings here make it easier to bring
more things, like guardian and weak-pair handling, into the parallel
part of a collection. So, the changes are probably worth keeping for
that purpose.
The collector tries to use roughly the same amount of parallelism as
the number of active threads, but make sure that it doesn't fall back
to an ownership-mangling non-parallel collection if all but one place
happens to be stalled.
Make the exchange of objects by parallel sweepers --- which is needed
when an object being swept by one thread refers to an object owner by
another thread --- much simpler and slightly faster.
The original design of exchanging memory regions didn't really work
out, and it had degrenerated to essentially exchanging objects.
Explicitly exchanging objects instead of regions makes the GC simpler,
because received objects can be just added to the regular sweep stack,
and less additional space<->type correspondence is needed.
Fix mishandling of an expanded `if` where the test position is a
syntax object. The expander's compiler pass from expanded objects to
linkets knows that the syntax object isn't useful, but it tried to be
helpful by preserving the syntax object's content as quoted --- and
that content turns out not to be available, so the syntax object was
replaced by #f, instead.
Closes#3436
Rename definitions that are not exported and that are not used as
inferred function names. The rename is based on a hash of the
right-hand side, instead of being just the position of the definition
in the module, and that should help further reduce diffs in schemified
output after small changes to the source.
Instead of one big lock, have one big lock and one small lock for just
manipulating allocation state. This separation better reflects the
locking needs of parallel collection, where the main collecting thread
holds the one big lock, and helper threads need to take a different
lock while changing allocation state.
This commit also includes changes to cooperate better with LLVM's
thread sanitizer. It doesn't work for parallel collection, but it
seems to work otherwise and helped expose a missing lock and a
questionable use of a global variable.
This ensures that the moveq instruction is inside an IT block.
Backward compatible change - still builds on ARMv6 with Thumb.
This breakage is generally not noticeable on a RPi3 because, although the

Disable incremental promotion when backreferences are enabled,

Casting a ptr to an integer of a different size causes a warning - this is only noticeable on 32bits. Fix this by using `TO_VOIDP` and `TO_PTR` helper macros.
This PR fixes two issues regarding disappeared-use in reqprov.rkt
1. Copy/preserve disappeared-use for all provide subforms instead
of only the first one. The following program doesn't have an arrow from

2. Fix incorrect `disappeared-use` for `struct-out`: it is inappropriate
to check if an identifier is bound to a struct info in provide

Small fixes to enable LTO compilation

./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -flto"
LDFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -flto"
--prefix=...
One fix deals with variable `errnum` that might be used uninitialized.
The other is to ensure that `boot_file_data` is marked as used
otherwise, it is removed by LTO and ends up crashing build

Instead of having leftover Scheme threads swept by the main thread,
distribute Scheme threads among sweeper threads, and swap into each
thread's content to preserve its allocation ownership. This change
makes parallelism more consistent for different timings that end up
assigning sweepers differently.
Move per-thread allocation information to a separate object, so the
needs of the collector are better separated from the thread
representation. This refactoring sets up a change in the collector to
detangle sweeper threads from Scheme threads.
Change the internal parallelism strategy for the GC to record an owner
for each allocated segment of memory, and have the owner be solely
responsible for copying or marking objects of the segment. When
sweeping, a collecting thread handles references to objects that it
owns or that have been copied or marked already, and it asks another
collecting thread to resweep an object that refers to objects owned by
that that thread. At worst, an object ends up being swept by all
collecting threads, one at a time, but that's unlikely for a given
object.
The approach seems likely to scale better than a lock-based approach,
even the one that used a lightweight, CAS-based lock and retries on
lock failure.
That is, use pairs on the property in more places, as the pair
already was computed and the value-blame function already does
the needful when it sees a pair on the property.
When the GC needs to copy/mark a record, it previously forced a
copy/mark on the record's type descriptor, since the copy/mark needs
information from the descriptor. But the needed information is not in
danger of being overwritten for forwading (since it's after the first
two words of the type descriptor), so it's ok to use the old reference
as-is --- at least in non-counting mode. Simplifying record-type
handling and deferring the record-type update to the sweep phase, the
same as for other components of the record type, makes the GC slightly
faster.
Fall back to `current-directory` when `current-load-relative-directory`
is #f.
This change also affects `deserialize` --- not because byte code
loading uses it directly in this case, but because they share a helper
function, which exposes the issue. This implementation change is
worrying (even though it makes the implementation match the
documentation), but unless we discover that some use of serialization
needs absolute paths deseialized as relative, is seems better to be
consistent everywhere about falling back to `currenrt-directory`. This
aspect of the change can be reverted separately (by adding more code)
if needed.
Closesracket/drracket#421
All allocation is now thread-local, which recovers a small bit of
performance that was lost when adding thread-local allocation
alongside global allocation.
Parallelism uses thread contexts created by Chez Scheme threads (which
correspond to Racket places and future-running threads), but it
creates its own OS-level threads to perform collection. The number of
collection-helper threads is limited to the number of active Chez
Scheme threads. Only the main "sweep" pass runs in parallel --- that
is, after roots have been traversed, and before weak references and
finalization are handled --- but that's the bulk of collection work.
Also, memory-accounting collections always run as single-threaded.
Improved support for thread-location allocation (and using more
fine-grained locks in fasl reading) may provide a small direct
benefit, but the change is mainly intended as setup for more
parallelism in the collector.
There's a trade-off between keeping the distribution sizes small and
making ".boot" files available for convenient embedding, even though
embedding is relatively rare. For Unix platforms, since you have to
build from source to get a static library for embedding anyway, we'll
leave out ".boot" files. For Mac OS, the distribution's "Racket"
framework includes ".boot" files --- even though the framework is
itself unused for a normal distribution build, since signing and
notarization are handled by embedded the boot files in an executable,
but the framework was kept for a kind of backward compatibility. For
Windows, the Racket DLL can be used for embedding, so the ".boot"
files would be the only missing piece; also, they were already
included in a cross-built distribution.
Update "Inside" to note that ".boot" files must be built on Unix and
to clarify the location of ".boot" files on Mac OS.
Closes#3377
The A32 instruction set has an interesting encoding of immediate
values where a larger value sometimes fits in a smaller set of
instructions. That turns out to be a bad property for loading a return
address, because it means that the as label computations push code
further away, a contracting return-address calculation can pull code
back nearer, and this push-and-pull can keep the label allocator from
arriving at a fixpoint.
This became a bigger problem with 8834597c1f, which creates
return-label references that go backwards and where the offset can be
much larger than the normal, forward references.
See #3378: The possibility of mutation should be considered in
`:do-in` in somme rare cases, while it's not clear that there's
anything better to be done for mutation of the list accumulators in

This commit doesn't update nanopass itself, but adapts `rktboot`

The Scheme stack pointer was left in call state when the number of
results is wrong, with the intent of exposing the enclosing function's
frame for debugging purposes, but there's no guanrantee that the
result address is still on the stack (i.e., the continuation make have
been captured). Reinstall the return address before calling the
exception handler.
Avoid coercing an integer to a flonum when doing so loses
precision. It's especially helpfu lto preserve oddness

Experiment with removing built-in Racket functions in stack traces to
make the trace less noisy. "Built-in" is defined as code that exists
in the built-in modules. On CS, built-in code is detected as residing
in the static generation. (Also, on CS, the code must have a name but
no source location or detailed debugging information to be
suppressed.) On BC, a code object has a bit set if it's loaded at boot
time.
This change makes stack traces look more like Racket BC traces before
the macro expander was implemented in Racket. The frames for built-in
functions have been useful for implementing the expander and Racket
CS, but probably they're just noise for most users most of the time.
Set the `PLT_SHOW_BUILTIN_CONTEXT` environment variable to preserve
all available frames in the stack trace.
Some text-editing tools on Windows include a BOM character (encoded)
at the start of a file that is intended as UTF-8. The general
recommendation for UTF-8 is to *not* include a BOM --- but, well,
Windows. When a BOM is there, meanwhile, the recommendation is to
preserve it in the stream, so always discarding an initial BOM at the
file-port level is not a good idea. A new file mode would make sense,
but distinctions like 'text and 'binary mode have turned out to be
best avoided.
Although I'm not sure it's really a good idea, treating a BOM
character as whitespace in the reader (at least in comment positions)
is an easy way around the problem for text files that are intended as
programs.
Closes#1114
The `current-locale` parameer value is transferred to the C lbrary via
`setlocale` on demand by Racket functions that depend on the locale,
but some libraries (like libedit) can also depend on the locale
setting. By default, the C library starts with the "C" locale, so it's
worthwhile to install the default locale on startup, even if that's
not a complete solution to support changes to `current-locale`.
This fixes at least one "potential" bug in the file
`collects/pkg/private/create.rkt`, where `else` in the
`cond` is bound to `else` from `match` instead of `racket/base`.

truthy, making the program happen to be correct.)

Change the ".zo" format to convert a linklet bundle hash table to a

Refine the approach in 91abd020d1 so that it's only used when needed
to work for the combination of custodian management and unsafe
finalization.
Also, improve the documentation to clarify the constraints on
`register-finalize` due to its implementation in CS by ordered
finalization. This constraint is also reflected in a new `#:ordered?`
argument to `register-custodian-shutdown`. Any existing code that uses
`register-custodian-shutdown` plus `register-finalizer` directly
instead of `register-finalizer-and-custodian-shutdown` would need to
be updated for Racket CS, but code like that should be rare to
nonexistent.
Closes#3352
Reverts the repair attempt in 91abd020d1. The problem with switching

- the collector now promotes objects one generation higher at a time
by default. previously, it promoted every live oldspace object to
the selected target generation, which could result in objects
prematurely skipping one or more generations and thus being

pointers from older newspace objects to younger newspace objects
that could not previously occur.

the same number of collections with this coarser (and less
expensive) measurement. this change also fixes a problem with
too-frequent collections when the maximum-generation is set to
zero. to make the determination even less expensive, a running
total of bytes in each generation is now maintained in a new
bytes_of_generation vector, and maybe-fire-collector is no longer
called when the collector is running.

In initial-state, the call to dir-list will sort the results of directory-list. However, in initial-state, there is a different path that will call directory-list without sorting. This change makes these paths consistent.
The `flsingle` function takes a flonum and discards precision that
wouldn't fit in a single-flonum. If single-precision arithmetic is
somehow useful, then combine flonum operations with `flsingle` to
discard precision on the result; even on Racket BC, that's likely to
perform better than using generic arithmetic on single flonums.
The top-level makefile now builds Racket CS as `racket` by default.
Use `racket bc` to build Racket BC as `racket`. Use `make both` to
build both CS and BC (the latter with the `bc` suffix) overlayed in a
single build. By using `make both` insted of `make cs` plus `make bc`,
you can avoid redundant package downloads and documentation rendering.
To build Racket BC as `racket`, use `racket bc RACKETBC_SUFFIX=`, but
you must consistently use `RACKETBC_SUFFIX=` with `make` every time.
Adjust `configure` and makefiles so that `configure` can be run in an
directory, not just the source directory. Initial boot files are found
at either the current directory or the source directory.
Also, add support for `-B` and `--Boot` flags to accept a path that is
resolved relative to the current directory, instead of relative to the
installation.
The `--enable-cs` and `--enable-csdefault` flags now enabled just the
CS build, as long as pb boot files are present or
`--enable-racket=...` is supplied.
Currently, `make` is the same as `make bc`, but the idea is that
`make` can become the same as `make cs` when some other pieces are in
place.
The source of the top-level makefile is now ".makefile", and it's
turned into "Makefile" using "racket/src/makemake.rkt". The
transformation makes non-GNU `make` variants and `nmake` act like GNU
make to propagate variables, which makes abstraction through targets
plus variables (admitedly an abuse of `make`) more reliable and
consistent.
Why abuse `make` this way? Because `make` variants and `nmake` are
similar enough that to constitute a portable scripting language, and
one that conveniently provides a large number of entry points.
Also, schemified "thread", "io", "regexp", "schemify", and "expander"
layers are checked in. Overall, building Racket CS no longer requires
first building Racket BC.
The imported sources are from the `racket/ChezScheme` repository,
which branched from `cisco/ChezScheme`. The commit history is
preserved, but all of the commit IDs have shifted, because bootfiles
have been pruned from the history.
The "cs-bootstrap" package is now in the `racket/ChezScheme` repo,
because it needs to track the Chez Scheme implementation instead of
the Racket implementation.
Commit 023681947c fixed a problem cooperating with xform, but the
repair assumes xform. The "embed-in-c.rkt" test, for example, uses 3m
without xform (and instead uses macros like `MZ_GC_DECL_REG`.
It's not clear that adding to "HISTORY.txt" is all that useful. But as
long as we do, at least include milestones that were signficant enough
to mention in release announcements.
CS didn't always return a complete path when simplifying in
use-filesystem mode. On Windows, CS and BC were inconsistent with each
other and the Unix behavior.
A `\\?\RED\` path is Racket- and Windows-specific, and it's an extreme
corner case: a drive-relative absolute path that include elements that
must eb specially esacped. BC's `build-path` incorrectly allowed
`\\?\RED\` to extend an absolute path. CS's `build-path` incorrctly
allowed various absolute-path extensions, including `\\?\RED\` paths.
The documentation was slightly off.
Since file links and directory links on Windows are disjoint, and the
difference is relevant for operations such as deleting a file,
`link-exists?` is not enough information. Add `file-or-directory-type`
to provide more information and also avoid separate calls to
`file-exists?`, `directory-exists?`, etc.
The `delete-directory/files` function now uses `file-or-directory-type`
so that it will work right with Windows directory links.
Relevant to #3288
Procedures in compiled code could not previously have source-location
paths that are managed through the write-relative and load-directory
configuration. Instead, paths were always converted to strings that
start "..." --- and those strings were sometimes incorrectly converted
back to paths in context information extracted from a continuation
mark set.
This commit takes advantage of changes to Chez Scheme `fasl-write` and
`fasl-read` (and related for compiling code) to lift paths out where
linklet-level marshaling can take care of them.
Sync with changes from cisco/ChezScheme. The specific code fragments
that are compressed and the chunks that are used for compression
remain essentially the same as before for Racket CS, but a different
organization at the Chez Scheme level takes over some of the work that
was on the Racket CS linklet layer, and load times may improve
slightly.
In CS, if you interrupt an especially tight non-tail recursion, such
as
(let loop ()
(cons 1 (loop)))
then the "context" view of the continuation (as recorded in a
continuation mark set) can take space that is a multiple of the size
of the continuation itself. That's a particular problem if the
too-deep recursion triggers the memory limit in DrRacket, because
DrRacket will then need a multiple of its current heap space to report
"out of memory".
(Note: Just keeping the continuation itself is not a good option,
because that may retain other data referenced by the continuation.)
This commit reduces the heap space used to gather a continuation
context, relying in part on new Chez Scheme support, but mostly it
limits the context length to roughly the same maximum as in BC. The BC
limit is an implementation artifact, but it turns out to have good
properties; informaiton on more than 64k continuation frames is rarely
useful. The limit could be a parameter, but a large built-in limit
seems likely good enough.
(Another note: Adding a limit argument to
`continuation-mark-set->context` doesn't help enough, because it's too
late by that point; too much memory has been used to repersent the
information that's in the mark set.)
The commit also tightens tracking of continuations for memory
accounting, reducing the chance that a thread's large continuation
will be charged to the wrong custodian.
- A part of contract-out's code generation for struct assumes that
there's no parent struct and uses the provided struct name for
everything. This causes duplicate definitions when there are duplicate
field names where one is in a child struct and another is
in a parent struct. This PR fixes the problem.
- Disallow multiple #:omit-constructor
- Deprecate super-id. This information is unnecessary since we can
extract it from static struct information already. Attempting to
check that super-id is well-formed is error-prone due to how
the super struct type could be contracted which shields us from
detecting that they are indeed the super type.
- Utilize static struct field name information, and provide

Fixes: #3266, #3269, #3271, and #3272
This commit adds `prop:struct-field-info` which is implemented to provide
static information about field names. The property is attached to all
struct types generated by `define-struct`.
The commit also modifies kernstructs to have the property.
Finally, the commit switches `struct-copy` to use the static field name
information when it's available.
It remains to change `contract-out` and `match`'s `struct*` to
recognize/attach this new property, but this could be done
separately in the future.
This PR is largely based on racket/racket#732, though the approach is slightly
different.
Although building with the wrong offsets is good enough to compile
the compiler to compile itself correctly, a broken intermediate
compilation can create confusion.
As the documentation says, `datum->syntax` should use
`datum-intern-literal`. That helps avoid syntax-object mutability, and
it increases sharing in compiled forms. The use of
`datum-intern-literal` got lost when the expander was rewritten in
Racket.
Relevant to #3245
The default package scope is determined by consulting the user-scope
configuration, then falling back to the installation-scope
configuration, then defaulting to user.
So, if you have a user-scope configuration of `default-scope`, it
doesn't matter what the configuration says in other scopes, which
means that the output of `raco pkg config` can be confusing. Extra
output in this commit is intended to make it less confusing.
Probably the original mistake here was allowing `default-scope` at a
scope-specific layer, instead of having it just as an installation
configuration (like `name`).

Most of the commit is a commented out, updated version of the Scheme
implementation of MRG32k3a `random`. With the latest improvements for
unboxed floating-point arithmetic, performance is relatively good, but
it doesn't catch up to the C compiler's output. On an x86_64 MacBook
(i7 4870HQ) using LLVM or a Raspberry Pi 3 using GCC, it's about 50%
slower compared to C (in contrast to 300% slower before unboxing).
It's almost the same speed on a older x86_64 Linux machine (i7 2600)
using GCC. Where the C compiler wins, maybe it's due to the use of
SIMD instructions in the C output for x86_64 and Arm32. Switching to
the Scheme implementation of `random` would probably be fine, but
aisde from the satisfaction of being in Scheme, there's no reason to
pay the sometimes 50% penalty for now.
Caching compiled JIT fragments in a SQLite database did not turn out

atomic-action queue. Atomic actions tend to be ok to run a second time
(including JIT compilation), so a problem may not show up immediately,
but a semaphore can get out of sync and cause problems later.
Change `fl->fx` to truncate as it converts, which is typically done
anyway by a machine instruction to convert from floating-point to
integer values. This makes `fl->fx` different from `inexact->exact`
or `fl->exact-integer`, but it brings BC and CS in line.
Follows Chez Scheme and Guile. Turns `(exp 10000.+0.0i)` into
`+inf.0+0.0i` instead of `+inf.0+nan.0i`, which is analagous to
the behavior for exact 0 in the complex part.
Fixes#3194.
If the callback takes too long to run, then a second copy was
scheduled --- which likely schedules a third copy, and so on. This
problem could lead DrRacket to get stuck in a GC cycle, for example.
In Schemify's lifting pass, avoid disturbing loop patterns that Chez
Scheme will recognize. Keeping the loops intact is helpful for
floating-point unboxing, where (currently) unbxoing is supported
across loop iterations but not across function boundaries in general.
When a `module` or `let-syntax` form is `expand`ed (i.e., when a
syntax object must be generated), then code is expanded to a syntax
object and then parsed again for compilation. In that second parse,
take advantage of the fact that the expression is already expanded,
which means that no new scopes or bindings need to be created.

Two "self" module path indexes are treated the same on load when they
have the same resolved module name. Fix the serialization intern table
to take that into account and avoid some GC-based non-deterministism.

On a second look, 6d06086dad unnecessarily duplicates work already don
by `copy-file` in most cases. For the case where `copy-file` was not
used, there was code to explicitly set an executable bit, but the new
approach is better and should be used just there.
Changes `_ptr`, `_list`, and `_vector` syntax to be more permissive.
Matching by symbol rather than binding is usually the wrong choice,
but the position where `i`, `o`, or `io` is recognized in `_ptr` and
company is not an expression position. Also, `i`, `o`, and `io` are
not otherwise bound. So, it's difficult to justify the current
behavior. If `_ptr` and company were defined today, we'd use keywords
like `#:i` instead of symbols like `i`.
A potential drawback of this change is that a `i`, `o`, or `io` might
be written with the intent of referring to a binding, and this change
makes such a reference silently allwowed instead of an errror. That
seems relatively unlikely, however, while having to avoid `i`, `o`, or
`io` as a binding is occassionally a pain --- something I've run into
once or maybe twice.
Closes#887
The Windows scheduler tends to work on 16ms bounaries, which
is not good for sleeping (as part of an animation, say) for
times near or less than 16ms. Change rktio to request more
fine-grained scheduling temporarily when trying to sleep for
a short time.
Extracting the name from a procedure involves `string->symbol` and
possibly some string parsing. Map the code object to the result
symbol to speed up multiple requests for the same code object.
* Ensure that the GMP ARM extra file has the correct extension
We hardcoded in some places the extension of the GMP ARM extra file
with .o, however the Makefile rule to build the file will use .lo is
--enable-shared is enabled. This commit fixes the discrepancy by not
hardcoding the extension anywhere.
Fixes#3176
* Avoid gnu make extension
* Replace spaces to conform with other lines
* Ensure we only add extension if file is needed
* Move the LTO definition to the configure.ac
* Carry the LTO variable into the Makefile
* Fix variable reference
* Add variable definition to gc2 Makefile
* annotate assignment
Concurrent lazy scope propagation had a (very unlikely) race condition
updating a syntax object. Ryan pointed out this problem as part of the
discussion for #3162.
Switch to using a single field for a syntax object's content and
propagations, so a CAS can be used to update the field. As a pleasant
side effect, this change tends to make syntax objects more compact.
Fix `ptr-ref` to properly handle the offset in a pointer for
specialized references, like extracting ` _double`.
Thanks to Laurent Orseau for the bug report and Jens Axel Søgaard for

When a future triggers a write barrier, a lock is needed to prevent a
race between the future thread and other threads in the same place (on
most platforms).
Thanks to Dominik Pantůček for tracking down this bug.
Check `file-exists?` before passing the file on to `file-size` and/or
`open-input-file`. The latter led to confusing error messages, e.g.:
```
(file->string "DNE")
;; file-size: cannot get size
```
affects: `file->value` `file->list` `file->string` `file->bytes`
`file->lines` `file->bytes-lines`
The call to `random-sample/replacement` gets called when `(not
replacement?)` holds, while `random-sample/out-replacement` gets called
otherwise.
This is probably because the algorithm for the without replacement case
actually replaces parts of the sample, but that is different from the
meaning of a sample with and without replacement, which means with
possible duplicates or without.
This PR fixes four bugs:
1. Accessors are required at use-site in order to use `struct-copy`.
This PR removes that requirement since the information is already available in
struct-info. The following program used to fail prior the PR but will now pass.
```
(module a racket
(provide a)
(struct a (b)))
(require 'a)
(struct-copy a (a 1) [b 2])
```
2. `struct-copy` fails if the structure type transformer binding is renamed
(#1399). The following program used to fail prior the PR but will now pass.
```
(module struct racket/base
(provide (struct-out point))
(struct point (x y) #:transparent))
(require (rename-in 'struct [point point2d]))
(struct-copy point2d (point2d 1 2) [x 3])
```
3. With supertype, it's possible to construct colliding accessors,
causing `struct-copy` to update an incorrect field. The following program
produced incorrect outputs prior this PR but will now be correct.
```
(module a racket
(provide a)
(struct a (b-c) #:transparent))
(require 'a)
(struct a-b a (c) #:transparent)
(struct-copy a-b (a-b 1 2) [b-c #:parent a 10])
;; before the PR: (a-b 1 10), after the PR: (a-b 10 2)
(struct-copy a-b (a-b 1 2) [c 10])
;; before the PR: (a-b 1 10), after the PR: (a-b 1 10)
```
4. Similar to 3., prior this commit, it's possible to refer to a bogus field
name when supertype is present. The following program doesn't result in
a syntax error which is wrong. This commit fixes that.
```
(module a racket/base
(provide (all-defined-out))
(struct a (b-c) #:transparent))
(require 'a)
(struct a-b a (d) #:transparent)
(struct-copy a-b (a-b 1 2) [c 10])
```
The key idea is that the actual struct name (if the struct is created via
`struct` or `define-struct`) can be extracted from the name of struct predicate.
The actual field names then can be precisely extracted from accessors.
Note that struct-infos that are created manually by `make-struct-info`
didn't work with `struct-copy`. This PR didn't attempt to fix that because
it requires a significant change that would not be backward compatible with
the current struct info.
Instead of logging an error when the `openssl` module is loaded, defer
a complaint until procedures that would depend on the configuration is
called. Otherwise, errors can get printed in programs that depend on
the `openssl` library but do not always need OpenSSL support at run
time.
This is a backward-incompatible changed, but no packages currently
registered at pkgs.racket-lang.org refer to `ssl-dh4096-param-path`.
Providing `ssl-dh4096-param-bytes`, instead, avoids carrying along an
extra file with any stand-alone executable that depends on `openssl`.
Don't try to park values when allocating a weak box or pair in a
future thread, since that creates a race on the parking spaces. A
future thread can't run a GC, so it's doesn't need to park.
Touching a future in a future allocates a weak box, so this bug could
have been responsible for many crahses.

Update GMP license statment following 392dc33ceb which comes from
a recent GMP version.
This does not affect the overall license situation of Racket BC,
which includes other LGPL v3 code, or of Racket CS, which does not
use GMP.
The `call-with-deep-time-limit` function in `racket/sandbox` expects a
subprocess to be removed from its custodian when the subprocess is
done. CS wasn't doing that at all, leaving custodian removal to a
finalizer. BC was doing delaying a remove until `subprocess-status` is
used (which happened to work for existing uses of
`call-with-deep-time-limit`, apparently.)

When incremental mode is enabled, adjust garbage collection to avoid
promoting objects from the next-to-oldest generation into the oldest
generation. This change produces a good approximation to incremental
collection for game-like programs (although probably not server-like
programs with large, temporary jobs).
Fix error checking and reporting for position-based struct accessors
and mutators. Also, fix mutability recording for prefab structure
types that have auto fields.

Implement 'atomic-interior allocation and immobile cells using
`make-immobile-bytevector` and `make-immobile-vector`, which avoids
having to unlock through a finalizer.
Also, the Chez Scheme GC can now mostly mark a major generation,
instead of copying it, which can significantly reduce memory
use during a GC for an old, large heap (such as DrRacket's).
Show peak administrative as a parenthesized delta on peak space.
For BC, this extra delta is small, because BC compacts (instead of
copying) old-generation objects. For CS, the extra delta can large ---
typically an extra 50%, but potentially another 100% --- because a
full collection copies all old-generation objects.
Also, for BC, fix cumulative-allocation reporting to include child
places.
Extract invert_limb code for ARM from GMP 6.2.
In order to check for thumb mode availability use defined macro `__thumb__`, which in turns requires us to process the source file with `gcc` instead of `as` in order to access the preprocessor - tested with `clang` as well.

The Chez Scheme change avoids a leak while collecting in counting
mode, which is used by Racket's memory-accounting mode.
Also, add a small repair for 4256214981.
GitHub switched URLs for tarballs, redirecting to the new one with
a 302. However, old versions of Racket don't follow redirects in
`raco pkg install`, so they broke (before 6.3). Using the new URL
should work for everyone.

`--fast-file-copy`, which is usefl for speeding up a pipeline of
archiving (helpful to pkg-build).
