Just bumping the version number here to make sure the improved
`call/cc` is used. The improvement saves about 10% on ctak by avoiding
a layer of closure allocation.
Refactor to move some composable-continuation support out of the
way of prompts, and add a shortcut for simple composition cases.
Also, fix stack traces with continuation barriers and composable
composition, which could show sections of a trace duplicated.
For Racket CS, weaken references from managed objects to managing
custodians. Otherwise, a custodian with any managed values cannot
be GCed. Also, fix `collect-garbage` call that is triggered by
a memory-limit shutdown to happen after the current thread
(likely shutdown) is swapped out.
For traditional Racket, fix custodian shutdown on a memory-limited
custodian so that it is unregistered as having a limit.
Lift and delay serialization for non-serializable literals when
using `compile`. Just `compile`ing such an expression is ok, but
it reports an error if there's an attempt to serialize (by printing)
the compiled value.
This improvment also brings Racket CS much more in line with
traditional Racket on the kinds of values that it is willing to
serialize. For example, non-prefab structures no longer serialize
(where deserializing in a new Racket run would produce an instance of
a distinct structure type). The exception type and error message also
now matches traditional Racket.
The improvement relies on a new argument to `s-exp->fasl` for handling
errors.
Also, adjust a memory-limit test that wasn't checking behavior as
intended and that wasn't consistent with a Racket CS improvement over
traditional Racket.
A base type of `_gcpointer` works ok for traditional Racket as a kind
of "maybe it's GCable, so treat it that way just in case". That
approach doesn't work for Racket CS, where `_gpointer` has to mean
"definitely GCable memory". Although the difference is unfortunate,
making Racket CS base `(_bytes o <n>)` on `_pointer` is consistent
with the way plain `_bytes` is like `_pointer` in Racket CS and like
`_gcpointer` in traditional Racket.
Some synchronization built into `close-output-port` seems unnecessary
on modern Windows (NT and up). An extra manager thread is needed for a
anonymous pipe for "write ready?" purposes, but not to buffer output.
The Windows documentation is not entirely clear on this point, but
experiments suggest that modern anonymous pipes behave in the obvious
way.
Meanwhile, adjust the io layer used by Racket CS with the
synchronization that would be needed for Windows 95. This adjustment
is questionable, because it doesn't seem likely that we'll ever go
back that far with Racket CS. But the rktio interface to support
flushing synchronization might somehow be needed in a future setting,
or mabe it will turn out that I'm wrong about pipe buffers.
Avoid a continuation frame and layer of thunks that was in place for
checking for breaks just after applying a continuation. Instead, we
install just the continuation marks and check for breaks before
actually jumping; the break checker can't tell the difference, since
marks are the only way for it to check the continuation. This
improvement cust about 40% of the time for simple continuation capture
and application.
The ctak benchmark had lost a `(lambda (k) ...)`, which made it a
slightly different benchamrk than it was supposed to be. There's not a
good option here; changing it is a break with past Racket
benchmarking, but leaving it broken is misleading. Since the repaired
benchmark runs about the same in traditional Racket, it seems the
lesser evil to repair the benchmark. But also increase the number of
iterations, which makes the benchmark better for Racket CS (which runs
10 titmes as fast) and will help highlight the adjustment if someone
is trying to compare.
A misplaced `wrap-evt` could allow the result from `sync` on
a log receiver to be an opaque event, instead of a vector.
In other cases, a differently misplaced `wrap-evt` could also cause an
internal instance of `control-state-evt` to not be unregistered
correctly.
The solution to both problems is to add a wrapper procedure to
`control-state-evt`.
Closes#2664
Repair problems with asynchronous callbacks for futures and for
foreign callbacks. Asynchronous callbacks are used for future "sync"
operations, like `hash-set!`, that run must in a place's main thread
(as of commit f574583907).
Separately, synchronization to clean up future threads used a `ping?`
flag in a backwards sense, and it also treated a record as a box.
These problems could cause place termination to hang.
Related to #2725
The `math` library relies on this working right, since MPFR is
normally not compiled as thread-safe.
Also, fix some locking/interrupt/atomicity problems with async
callbacks generally.
When `sync` or `place-channel-get` is used on a place channel whose
other end has been GCed, then the blocking thread should also be
GCable. The `sync` case didn't work because the implementation uses
`replace-evt`. Change `sync` so that it can recognize asynchronous
`replace-evt`s in the same way as semaphores and channels (which is
more than traditional Racket offers).
