When an ephemeron is accessed through a weak mapping from the same key
that is used in the ephemeron, and when the key is not otherwise
reachable, there can be a race between extracting the value from the
ephemeron and performing a GC that reclaims the key. Avoid that race
by supplying the key back to `ephemeron-value`, which ensures that the
key remains reachable until the value is extracted.
In many cases, supplying the key as the second argument would also
work --- since that argument is used as a replacement value when the
key is inaccessible, but the key can't become inaccessible if it's
pending as a replacement value. A separarate optional argument to
`ephemeron-value` seems clearer and more general, though.
Avoid retaining namespaces that are created to gather runtime paths.
If expansion generates a lot of instances with a lot of type
information, for example, this repair can save a lot of space.
add the `'none` log level to the intro paragraph,
declare `'none` the level of "least detail",
and change prose to say "subscribes to current level and lower"

If the sub-template inside #(...) is unsyntax-splicing instead
of list, produce the template #((~@! . ????)) instead of calling
(datum->syntax o list->vector o syntax->list). Fixes#2402.
Fix some race conditions involving concurrent setup tasks that are
each trying to generate both machine-independent bytecode and
machine-specific bytecode.
add a function to escape any glob wildcards in a path or string
also add a private `glob-element->filename` function so that, e.g., the pattern
`a\*` matches the file named `a*` (previously, the match would fail and
I think it was impossible to match for only `a*`)
With this script the "default" value of RACKETCS_SUFFIX is effectively ""
instead of "cs" as in the make file.
This is a minor incompatibility/unexpected behavior that will get eventually
solved when the real default changes to "".
Fix the fallback interpreter (which is used for the "outside" of a
module that is too big to compile) so that it's safe-for-space.
This change is unlikely to repair any immediate problems, but space
safety problems are difficult to detect and avoid when the underling
implementation is not safe-for-space so fixing the interpreter is
likely worthwhie in the long run.
Module definitions and expression need to have a prompt around them to
delimit continuation capture, variable assignment needs to happen at
the right point to ensure that reassignment is guarded and
non-assignment is detected. But avoid the prompt when it's not needed,
such as around function definitions.
Closes#2398
Similar to a255def019, but for side effects potentially
exposed by definition RHS expressions, instead of
expressions not in a definition. Improve that commit and
this one by only forcing variable assignments at non-simple
expressions.
Travis is eliminating its container-based infrastructure
and deprecating the `sudo` keyword.
This commit also updates the example build matrix to use
more recent Racket versions.

Discard local-variable names to avoid `gensym` artifacts in the same
way that a more complete compilation would discard the names. This
change does not affect function names, which are preserved through
separate properties.
It most cases, it's more important for `compiler/cm` to reliably
replace a file that might be busy than to make the file update atomic.
To suport that kind of use, `call-with-atomic-output-file` implemented
a fairly reliable, multi-step, non-atomic process for replacing a file
on Windows.
For recompilation of bytecode in machine-independent form, however,
`compiler/cm` now really wants to atomically write a replacement
bytecode file. That's not generally possible on Windows (except on
NTFS with transactions, which are discouraged...), but MoveFileEx work
atomically in some cases and it's likely to work for the cases needed
by `compiler/cm`. Probably.
So, add a mode to `call-with-atomic-output-file` to get "more atomic"
updates on Windows. This mode is enabled by a callback that makes the
caller responsible for deciding what to do with the move fails, such
as waiting a while and trying again. And `compiler/cm` now waits a
while and tries again, up to a limit, which should be good enough for
recompilation.
Enable `raco {setup|make}` to build two sets of compiled files: one
set that is suitable for the current machine, and another set that is
suitable for a different machine or for all machines (i.e.,
machine-independent bytecode).
In the long run, this new `raco setup` mode support cross compilation
where the build machine and target machine have different bytecode
formats --- unlike the current cross-compliation mode, which relies on
there being a single bytecode format in traditional Racket for all
platforms.
In the short run, the new mode enables the faster creation of
Racket-on-Chez distribution builds. The build server can send out
machine-independent bytecode to client machines while using
machine-specific bytecode for itself to drive the build process.
The new compilation mode relies on a somewhat delicate balance of the
`current-compile-target-machine` and `current-compiled-file-roots`
parameters (as reflected by the `-M` and `-R` command-line flags for
Racket) as well as cross-compilation mode (as enabled by the `-C`
command-line flag).
The 'target-machine result from `system-type` reports the
default value of `current-compile-target-machine`.
Also, fill in pieces to make `setup/cross-system` work
for RacketCS, although cross-compilation is still several
steps away.
The new path for recompiling from machine-independent files
trues to read a ".zo" file without holding the recmopilation
lock and without an `exn:fail:filesystem` handler.
