An extflonum is like a flonum, but with 80-bit precision and
not a number in the sense of `number?': only operations such as
`extfl+' work on extflonums, and only on platforms where extflonums
can be implemented by hardware without interefering with flonums
(i.e., on platforms where SSE instructions are used for
double-precision floats).
[Patch provided by Michael Filonenko and revised by Matthew.]
The compiler tracks information about bindings that are known to
hold extflonums, but the JIT does not yet exploit this information
to unbox them (except as intermediate results).
This will make switching back and forth between 5.1.3 and the latest
not lose the frame size and position preferences (since the format
of the data is different now that the current release remembers
the position on a per-monitor-configuration basis)
The synchronization result of a log receiver is now a vector of four
values, instead of three, where the last one reports the name.
Also, an optional argument to `make-logger' provides a notification
callback for each event sent to the logger.
These changes enable more control over loggers and events. Suppose
that you have processes A and B, and you want all log events of A
to be visible to B, but not vice-versa. Furthermore, you want the
log events to appear at B in the right order: if A logs an event
before B, then A's event should arrive at a log receiver's before
B's. Now that a log receiver gets the name associated with the
original event, and now that the name can be re-sent in a
`log-receiver', it's possible to give A and B separate loggers and
send all of the events from A's logger to B's logger. Furthermore,
you can use the notification callback so that when an event is logged
in B, you can make sure that all available events from from A's
logger have been transferred to B's logger.
One drawback to the current situation (after this commit) is that all
log messages are sent into the user's logger, even messages that come
about as part of DrRacket's implementation. It isn't clear how to fix
this without enumerating all of the possible messages to share and
explicitly forwarding them (both of which are suboptimal things).
On the plus side, the GUI now uses the "debug@GC" notation in a text
field, and when the logger pane is not open, there is no extra work
going on. Plus other, minor GUI improvements.
A phantom byte string is a small object that the memory
manager treats as an arbitrary-sized object, where the
size is specified when the phantom byte string is created
or or when size is changed via `set-phantom-bytes!'.
Changing `current-url-encode-mode' from 'recommended to 'unreserved
causes `url->string' to encode !, *, ', (, and ) using %, which
can avoid confusing some parsers.

Allowing them would require support for immutable fxvectors and
flvectors, interning, and more. Since the motivation for reader
support is to make marshaling and unmarshaling easier, allow
them only in `read' mode. Change printing to make then unquotable.
Also:
- remove the restriction on the use of unquote in define-judgment-form
- allows limited use (I modes only) of judgment-forms in terms
- allows the use of define-relation with the search/unification
based random term generation
Handle close parentheses in a smarter way while in
auto-parens mode and be a little more smart about
inserting brace pairs in general.
In summary:
- Add some "smart-skip" behavior to insert-close-paren,
described in the documentation.
- When auto-parens mode is enabled,
the existing "balance-parens" keybinding invokes
insert-close-paren with a smart-skip argument of
'adjacent
- A new "balance-parens-forward" keybinding invokes
insert-close-paren with a smart-skip argument of
'forward (whether or not auto-parens mode is
enabled)
- Enable basic smart-skip behavior for
strings ("...") and |...| pairs, specifically, typing
a double-quote or bar character when the cursor
immediately precedes one causes the cursor to simply
skip over the existing one
- Tweak auto-insertion of block comment pairs; i.e.
typing hash and a bar results in a properly balanced
#||# pair. Also, when you type a bar character when
the cursor immediately precedes a closing bar and
hash of a comment, then the cursor skips over both
characters (this seems better than having it just
skip over the bar, and then having to introduce a
new keybinding to detect when a hash is typed while
the cursor is between a bar and a hash)
- In strings and line/block comments, auto-parens mode
no longer has any effect (you can still use the M+..
keybindings to force insertion of a particular brace
pair)
- Detect when a character constant is being typed, and
don't insert brace pairs if so; i.e. if the cursor
is immediately after #\ , then typing any open parens,
double quote, or bar, does _not_ result in the
insertion of an open/close pair even in auto-parens
mode
- Add a bunch of tests related to auto-parens, matching
pairs of braces, strings, comments, etc. to
collects/tests/framework/racket.rkt
Track fixnum results in the same way as flonum results to enable
unboxing, if that turns out to be useful. The intent of the change,
though, is to support other types in the future, such as "extnums".
The output `raco decompile' no longer includes `#%in', `#%flonum',
etc., annotations, which are mostly obvious and difficult to
keep in sync with the implementation. A local-binding name now
reflects a known type, however.
The change includes a bug repair for he bytecode compiler that
is independent of the generalization (i.e., the new test case
triggered the old problem using flonums).
I started from tabs that are not on the beginning of lines, and in
several places I did further cleanings.
If you're worried about knowing who wrote some code, for example, if you
get to this commit in "git blame", then note that you can use the "-w"
flag in many git commands to ignore whitespaces. For example, to see
per-line authors, use "git blame -w <file>". Another example: to see
the (*much* smaller) non-whitespace changes in this (or any other)
commit, use "git log -p -w -1 <sha1>".
Bytecode changes in two small ways to help the validator:
* a cross-module variable reference preserves the compiler's
annotation on whether the reference is constant, fixed, or other
* lifted procedures now appear in the module body just before the
definitions that use them, instead of at the beginning of the
module body
message at the end of the transcript and so that it shuts down
the installation custodian (which means that any threads or
anything like that that the .plt file's code may have created
will die, plus that the "abort installation" button will now
be greyed out)
closes PR 13122
Support for break clauses complicates expansion to `for/fold/derived';
a new `syntax/for-body' library provides a helper for macros that need
to split a `for'-style body into a prefix part and wrappable part.
The new parameter (and supporting environment variables and
command-line flags) can bytecode lookup to a tree other than
where a source file resides, so that sources and generated
compiled files can be kept separate. It also supports storing
bytecode files in a version-specific location (either with
the source or elsewhere).
The `make-log-receiver' function now includes a logger-name
filter. This filter is implemented as a low enough level that
it affects `log-level?' tests to check whether a log message
needs to be constructed at all.
The -W and -L flags and PLTSTDERR and PLTSYSLOG environment variables
support filters of the form "<level> <level>@<name> ...", where
<level>@<name> specializes filtering of events for a logger whose
name matches <name> to show <level> and higher.
The old `cast' didn't work right for a mismatch between
a pointer GCableness and the source or target types, and
it didn't work right for an GCable pointer with a non-zero
offset. While those pitfalls were documented, the first
of them definitely has been a source of bugs in code that
I wrote.
Also added `cpointer-gcable?'
When a module is loaded from bytecode and then the value of
`use-compiled-file-paths' changes, an attempt to load a submodule
would fail, because source isn't used if the main module is
already declared, and the bytecode code is not used according to
`use-compiled-file-paths'. Make the bytecode path stick when it
is used once, so that submodule loads succeed, and make it work
even with `namespace-module-attach'.
The module-attach part of this protocol requires a change to the
API of a module name resolver: the notification mode gets two
arguments, instead of one, where the second argument is an
environment.
The new names are `prompt-tag/c` and `continuation-mark-key/c`
to keep the names consistent with the values that are being
contracted. Also updated the HISTORY file.
Add a `#:nothing' argument so the no-value value can be
made explicit --- based on discussion with Eli, but pending
further review.
Also, renamed `#:first' to `#:before-first' and `#:last' to
`#:after-last' to be more clear, more parallel ro `#:before-last',
and avoid a collision with prominent function names.
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*'.
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.
The new predicates are `progress-evt?' `thread-cell-values?',
`prefab-key?', `semaphore-peek-evt?', and `channel-put-evt?'.
These were used internally, and now they appear in contract
error messages.
A common Slideshow pattern is to put a subset of slides in its
own module with a `run-slides' function, and then you'd
(un)comment a `(run-slides)' call at the end of the module to
work on the subset by itself. Now, you can write
`(module+ main (run-slides))' atthe end of the module and not
have to comment it out. Adding `main' support to the `slideshow'
executable makes it more consistent with using `racket' directly.
Checking first for a `slideshow' submodule makes it possible
for `slideshow' and `racket' to do different things, in case
that's useful.
When supplying an accessor to redirect, either the corresponding field
must be accessible through the current inspector, or a mutator for
the same field must be redirected, too.
Stevie realized that we need this constraint; otherwise, impersonators
can implement mutator-like behavior even when the mutator is otherwise
secret.
Add `raise-argument-error', `raise-result-error', `raise-arguments-error',
and `raise-range-error'.
The old convention was designed for reporting on a single (sometimes very
long line). The new convention is
<name>: <short message>
<field>: <detail>
...
If <detail> is long or itself spans multiple lines, then it may
also use the form
<field>:
<detail>
where each line of <detail> is indented by 3 spaces.
Backtrace information is shown as a multi-line "context" field.
