The preserved path is exposed by a new `module-path-index-submodule'
function, and `module-path-index-join' now accepts an optional
submodule path.
Also, fixed a problem with `collapse-module-path-index' when
a module path indx is built on a resolved module path that
is a submodule path.
In addition to the main repair, `collapse-module-path[-index]' is
correctly documented to allow '(quote <sym>) rel-to paths.
Finally, `collapse-module-path-index' changed to use a symbolic
resolved module path that appears as the base of a module path
index, rather than falling back to the given rel-to path. It's
possble that the old beavior was intentional, but it wasn't tested,
and it seems more likely to have been a bug.
Closes PR 12724
Although th eoriginal idea was to distinguish "text" paths
from derived filesystem paths, practically everythign that accepts
a module path also accepts a path. Building the generalization into
`module-path?' makes it easier to support `submod' wrappers on paths,
and it seems to fix things rather than break them.
Rename `read-intern-literal' to `datum-intern-literal'.
Interning is needed only in `read-syntax' or `datum->syntax' to
set up the invariants that the bytecode compiler needs for cross-module
optimization. When `read'ing numbers from a data file, meanwhile,
interning slows things down a lot and doesn't seem worthwhile.
This change saves a small amount of space in cross-reference files
and some space in loaded cross-reference information.
It also saves work converting strings to mutable on deserialize,
although the performance difference seems negligible.
Changed backtracking algorithm, runtime representations
- syntax classes, ~describe no longer implicitly commit
- ~describe no longer delimits effect of cut
Added keyword & optional args for stxclasses
Added ~do and #:do, ~post, ~commit and #:commit,
~delimit-cut and #:no-delimit-cut
Added syntax/parse/debug, syntax/parse/experimental/*
- expr/c for contracting macro sub-expressions
moved from syntax/parse to syntax/parse/experimental/contract
- syntax class reflection (~reflect, ~splicing-reflect)
- eh-alternative-sets (~eh-var)
- provide-syntax-class/contract
(only for params, not attrs so far)
Changed ~fail to not include POST progress (#:fail still does)
old (~fail _) is now (~post (~fail _))
Made msg argument of ~fail optional
Removed generic "repetition constraint violated" msg
Removed atom-in-list stxclass
Removed unnecessary datum->syntax on cdr of pair pattern
massive improvements to long-list microbenchmarks
Optimization: integrable syntax classes (id, expr, keyword)
need better measurements
Optimization: ad hoc elimination of head/tail choice point
for (EH ... . ()) patterns
Added unstable/wrapc (proc version of expr/c)
