See PR 12860; some of problem related to the PR were "fixed" by
adjusting the guarantees that are specified in the documentation.
Another problem was that non-consecutive bytes could be returned.
For all currently supported platforms, the result was already
portable, despite the documentation's hedging.
Also fixed up the documentation in other ways, such as the fact
that `seconds->date' returns a `date*'.
* The old function was removed completely, people will get it from
`racket/base' anyway.
* I also removed its documentation. I thought about leaving a note in,
but if `define-ffi-definer' is the preferred style, then this should
be done when there's a way to make `define-ffi-definer' use it. (Eg,
some new #:keyword that adds a way to change the defined name.)
* Note that the function is added to `racket/private/string' and not to
`racket/string' because the latter deals only with strings, and the
new function accepts byte strings too. It might be better to start a
new `racket/regexp' module for these functions.
As the documentation says, it's supposed to be ok to use the
same evt multiple times or in multiple threads, but an internal
buffer was allocated incorrectly, so that multiple/concurrent
uses could go wrong.
Closes PR 12860
Add extra intitial-message lines, use "..." on a field name
to indicate that it could reasonably be hidden by default,
and refine some existing messages.
Includes the addition of 'overflow and 'start-overflow-work
events, whcih are effectively specializations of 'sync and
'start-work to expose overflow handling.
Also, fix a bug related to a potential GC during mark-stack
restore from a lightweight continuation.
By itself, this change won't help anything, because tail-call
allocation is triggered for something that can't be called directly.
This change sets up part of an improvement for future-local recovery
from stack overflow, though.
(I had trouble constructing a test that would trigger the new code.
Fortunately, the existing tests trigger it.)
This fixes drdr, which is using a pre-submodules version of racket.
There was also a use of one-argument `string-join' that is fixed that
has been there for a while but drdr uses the api directly.
