The world doesn't need yet another cross-platform I/O library, but
it's getting one. This one has exactly the things that Racket needs,
and pulling it out will make it reusable from other VMs while
improving the Racket code organization.
This first step just gets started.
For a term
(lambda (arg-id ...) (define def-id _rhs) ... (arg-id def-id) ...)
the expander could take quadratic time in the number of `def-id`s
due to walking an environment to remove use-site scopes. (The
variant of the expander rewritten in Racket didn't have this
problem.)
This commit add mzrt_sema_try_wait to the functions that operate
on semaphores. The existing ones are:
* int mzrt_sema_create(mzrt_sema **sema, int init);
* int mzrt_sema_post(mzrt_sema *sema);
* int mzrt_sema_wait(mzrt_sema *sema);
* int mzrt_sema_destroy(mzrt_sema *sema);
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.
An authentic structure type is one whose instances cannot be
impersonated or chaperoned. The intended use of `prop:authentic` is to
annotate a library-private data structure where impersonators are
never needed internally for the data structure, and the declaration
lets the compiler produce less code and fewer branches by omitting
impersonator support.
In non-cross mode, `-C` needs to go after `-G` and `-X` when setting
up a "bundle" directory to turn into an installer, because that mode
needs to use foreign libraries (such as SQLite) at build time, and it
can use the instances that are being set up for the installer.
Meanwhile, improve the advice for setting `PLAIN_RACKET` to use `-C`
for a cross-platform build mode, even though things tend to work
anyway without it.
When comparing a part of a hamt that is a collision node versus a
subtree node, a "hash code" was extracted from the collision node ---
but that's really a code for an integer key is that used for the
collision element. The comparison should instead use a code extracted
from the reference to the collision node (which is the code that is
common to all colliding keys).
Detangle the target and host DLL and library directories by
making `get-lib-search-dirs` and `get-dll-dir` report the
host system's directories, and add `get-cross-lib-search-dirs`
and `get-cross-dll-dir`.
A new `-C`/`--cross` flag causes `racket` to save a host config and
collection directory and make them available via `(find-system-path
'host-{config,collects}-dir)`, while plus `(system-type 'cross)`
reports whether `-C` mode is in effect. Besides making the host paths
available, this change allows a same-platform build to run in
corss-platform mode.
The immediate problem to solve was the creation of Windows installers
on Windows, where recent changes to support 'gui-bin-dir configuration
need a clear distinction between the host Racket and the target Racket
being built, even if they're the same platform. (The "GRacket.exe"
executable didn't work, for example.)
The changes in this commit are more than needed for the immediate
problem, but they naturally build on the necessary `-C` flag, and they
support cross-platform package setup where native libraries are needed
during setup.
Avoid the well-known possibility of quadratic handling of ephemeron
chains, where all ephemerons are immediately known, no keys are
immediately known, and each link in the chain has a value that refers
to the next link's key.
To aviod quadratic behior, attach a list of ephemerons to each page of
allocated objecst, where marking any object on the page triggers a
rescan of the ephemerons without waiting to rescan all ephemerons.
Make `log` in `racket/base` optionally accept a second argument.
The second argument is the log `base`. The docs also recommend
`fllogb` when precision is important.
* Error message when base is 1
* Added docs.
* Add tests.
Store relative paths in "info-cache.rktd" (which corresponds,
roughly, to packages) in a platform-independent form, instead
of using the current platform's convention.
Using the current platform's covention works badly when
cross-compiling for Windows on Unix, since relative paths are used as
keys in the "info-cache.rktd" table. For example, updating a
pre-installed package on Windows mangles the mapping if the installer
is created from a cross-compiled installation.
Optimization to convert `(hash-ref <ht> <key> (lambda () <constant>))`
to `(hash-ref <ht> <key> <constant>)` didn't check that the `lambda`
for had zero argument.
Closes#1648
* generics: optional scope arg for private macros
To make them more friendly to macros that expand to generics
* add tests for generic-method-table macro
and/c, and between/c (which implies <=/c and >=/c) so that they turn
themselves into integer-in when appropriate
for example, (contract-stronger? (integer-in 0 4) (and/c natural? (<=/c 4)))
returns #t
- positive-integer?
- negative-integer?
- nonpositive-integer?
- nonnegative-integer?
These are like their exact-* counterparts provided by racket/base,
but they work for inexact numbers, and not just exact ones.
Fix problem with once-use tracking and delayed variable-use marking
that is performed for local function bodies. A delayed variable-use
registration might happen after a once-used variable is replaced by
its use.
This scenario is difficult to provoke, because the optimizer has to
first decide not to move a once-use function, and in a latter pass
decide to move it after all. There's not enough information to
retract the tentative use plus its transitive implications.
The solution is to avoid the generic once-use layer for `lambda` forms
whose uses are delayed (and that likely has a good effect on inlining
anyway). The other half of the solution is to avoid transitive use
marking on a once-used variable whose expression has been moved (and
there are no transitive things to skip, because that expression isn't
a `lambda` form).
It appears that Mac OS wants `RTLD_LOCAL` in the dlopen() call,
otherwise dlsym() searches through all previously open shared objects
– even though dlopen() is given a specific library handle.
The expr/c syntax class, as well as its underlying implementation
function, wrap-expr/c, previously produced misleading error messages.
The main purpose of these tools is to ensure a user-provided expression
conforms to a macro-provided contract. However, contract errors produced
by these forms were consistent with situations where both value and
contract were provided by the same party.
This fixes the discrepancy by changing how these forms assign blame to
emulate contract errors that arise from improper function arguments,
since most expressions provided to macros are semantically similar to
function arguments. All examples within the documentation itself
reflect this use case.
These changes alter the contents of error messages raised by expr/c and
wrap-expr/c, which could theoretically break some test suites, but it’s
extremely unlikely that any non-test code would depend on the precise
wording of contract error messages, and the interface is otherwise
completely backwards-compatible.

When the second argument to `bytes-set!` is a reference to a
module-level variable that is definitely defined but not a known
constant, then an incorrect reordering was used that would cause
the third argument value to get overwritten before the call.
Closes#1601
The primitive `read` uses a shortcut --- a private "ungetc"
implementation --- that did not count position correctly for
non-ASCII characters.
Closes#1599
The documentation says that it should work on any output port,
although there's special treatment of ports that originate
from `pretty-print` itself.
Closes#1579.
Allow the directory for GUI executables to be specified as different
from console executables. The defaults for those two are different
on Mac OS, and configuring them differently might be useful to
address #1575.
Although there is probably no demand on Windows or Unix for splitting
the console and GUI bin directories, this patch tries to make things
work sensible there. On Windows, there's a corner case where a
launcher that starts GRacket (especially with `-z`) is intended to be
a console executable. The launcher creator can be told that via a
`subsystem` option, but a new `#:console?` argument was needed for
`make-gracket-launcher-path` lets the path selector know.
After some reductions, the new rator advance less the effect
clocks than the original rator. For example in
(equal? x 7) ==> (eq? x 7)
(my-struct? x) ==> #t or #f
The lambdas can be marked as single valued and/or mark preserving.
With this information is possible to remove unnecessary wrapping
like the `values` in
(let ([f (lambda () '(1))])
(display f f)
(values (f)))
or in reductions like
(car (list (f))) ==> (values (f)) ==> (f)
Moreover, this is useful to test that the optimizer has marked
correctly the function f as single valued and mark preserving.
If a module has any sort of complex bindings, such as a definition of
a macor-introduced identifiers, then `module->namespace` and variants
(like `variable-reference->namespace`) need to recreate suitable
bindings. Make sure that the module-path index for recreated bindings
is the run-time one, not the compile-time one.
Closes#1584
To avoid moving expressions that may have a side effect, the optimizer must
recognize that in this position this will cause an error and advance
the virtual clock.
Currently the only primitive that is flagged as SCHEME_PRIM_IS_OMITABLE and
may have multiple return values is `values`.
Thanks to Robby for finding the original version of the test.
When a hash table or other special value appears immediately on the
right-hand side of `define-values`, it needs to be protected by an
explicit quote when writing to bytecode.
Closes#1580
* byte-regexp? values should not be considered 3D syntax.
* hash? values are now allowed in serialized syntax properties with (template … #:properties (…))
* marshalling properties which were prefab structs called map on the result of struct->vector, changed it to struct->list as the struct "name" is always serializable.
Continuing the saga that includes 8190a7730d and d1ba9fbb6e, it turns
out that a 0-binding clause as the last one isn't so special after
all. A little later in the optimizer, now that we're sometimes moving
an error to the body, we can't assume that the body can be discard
if an error was detected.
Set up bindings and shift phases as needed to make
`variable-reference->namespace` work in a run-time position when the
enclosing module is instantiated at a phase other than 0.
Thanks to Rohin Shah for the bug report.
Support an external implementation of `read-syntax` by exposing
functionality that is currently internal to `read-syntax`: a srcloc
argument to a "special"-producing port function and wrapping special
results to reliably distinguish them from characters.
When Racket is run with stdout or stderr redirected to a file,
then it must be treated as a regular file, otherwise flushing
and position counting doesn't work right.
Merge to v6.8
