Avoids a common problem with libffi installed by MacPorts
causing problems with a mismatch between an iconv installed
by MacPorts and the system iconv. (When libffi is installed,
then -I/opt/include for the libffi heads also picks up the
iconv headers, but the ordering of the lib flags doesn't
pick up libiconv from /opt/lib. We could try to hack around
this by ordering the flags just right, but it seems better
to avoid the issue.)
JIT-generated doesn't actually conform to the constraints
of the Win64 stack-unwind protocol. In pariticular,
JITted code might move the stack pointer after a "preamble"
that saves non-volatiles, and the frame pointer isn't in
the right place. So, we can't implement the generic unwind
hook --- but the JIT's stack traversal can interleave its own
unwinding with the OS-supplied unwinding interface.
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).
Clients of scheme_apply(), scheme_eval(), etc. (i.e., the variants
without a leading "_") except aborts to continue jumping out, while
a recent change to make them behavior more like a default prompt
handler caused them to return on errors. Changethe handler to behave
like the default, except that after running a result thunk, the
handler effectively aborts again.
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?'
Using `call-as-atomic' isn't right, because that allows an escape
via `call-as-nonatomic'. Assuming that `call-as-nonatomic' isn't
used, it seems like `call-as-atomic' should be ok, anyway, but
somehow its leads to unbalanced `end-atomic' calls.
Add `file-position*', which can return #f instead of raising
an exception when a port's position is unknown. Change
`make-input-port' and `make-output-port' to accept more
kinds of values as the initial position.
These changes make it possible to synchronize a port's
position with a `port-commit-peeked' action. It's ugly,
which I think reflect something broken about position
tracking in the port protocol (which seems difficult to fix
without breaking compaibility).
Providing a port instead of a reading or writing procedure
redirects the read/write to the specified port. This shortcut
is kind of a hack, but the run-time system can easily streamline
the redirection when it's exposed this way.
Using the new redirection feature reduces overhead in
`with-output-to-bytes' and `pretty-print'.
Previously, the use of `pretty-print' for `print' by `racket/main'
and the use of `transplant-output-port' by `pretty-print' caused
a flush to happen.
This problem highlights a potential general issue, which is that
`pretty-print' happened to always flush its output before, and
some programs may accidentally depend on that behavior.
We can't disallow the creation of bad mutators without breaking
old code, but we can prevent the JIT from treating them like
good ones.

Since SIGHUP normally means that the output has gone away,
don't try to write to it.
Closes PR 13058 (although it doesn't solve the more general
problem that is noted in the PR)
The bytecode compiler used to convert an expresison like
(<flonum-op> <simple-expr> <complex-expr>)
to
(let ([id <complex-expr>])
(<flonum-op> <simple-expr> id))
to help an older version of the JIT avoid boxing the result of
<simple-expr>, but that transformation isn't needed, since the JIT can
keep unboxed values on the stack.
The transformation was complex and apparently buggy.
The changes also include a repair to the JIT for code that the
bytecode compiler formerly wouldn't generate, but which is allowed
bytecode.
Closes PR 13052
Generalize splitting of `(let-values ([(x ...) (values e ...)]) ....)'
to `(let ([x e] ...) ....)' for any `e', since it's always equivalent.
Right?
(The old requirements on the `e's seem to be needed only for
`letrec-values' splitting and maybe mutable variables.)
Treat unsafe functional operations (which never raise an
exception) as omitable, which means that simple `let-values'
combinations can be split into `let' bindings, etc.
