- added compress-level parameter to select a compression level for
file writing and changed the default for lz4 compression to do a
better job compressing. finished splitting glz input routines
apart from glz output routines and did a bit of other restructuring.
removed gzxfile struct-as-bytevector wrapper and moved its fd
into glzFile. moved DEACTIVATE to before glzdopen_input calls
in S_new_open_input_fd and S_compress_input_fd, since glzdopen_input
reads from the file and could block. the compress format and now
level are now recorded directly the thread context. replaced
as-gz? flag bit in compressed bytevector header word with a small
number of bits recording the compression format at the bottom of
the header word. flushed a couple of bytevector compression mats
that depended on the old representation. (these last few changes
should make adding new compression formats easier.) added
s-directory build options to choose whether to compress and, if
so, the format and level.

- improved the effectiveness of LZ4 boot-file compression to within
15% of gzip by increasing the lz4 output-port in_buffer size to
1<<18. With the previous size (1<<14) LZ4-compressed boot files
were about 50% larger. set the lz4 input-port in_buffer and
out_buffer sizes to 1<<12 and 1<<14. there's no clear win at
present for larger input-port buffer sizes.
compress-io.c
- To reduce the memory hit for the increased output-port in_buffer
size and the corresponding increase in computed out_buffer size,
one output-side out_buffer is now allocated (lazily) per thread
and stored in the thread context. The other buffers are now
directly a part of the lz4File_out and lz4File_in structures
rather than allocated separately.
compress-io.c, scheme.c, gc.c,
cmacros.ss
- split out the buffer emit code from glzwrite_lz4 into a
separate glzemit_lz4 helper that is now also used by gzclose
so we can avoid dealing with a NULL buffer in glzwrite_lz4.
glzwrite_lz4 also uses it to writing large buffers directly and
avoid the memcpy.
compress-io.c
- replaced lz4File_out and lz4File_in mode enumeration with the
compress format and inputp boolean. using switch to check and
raising exceptions for unexpected values to further simplify
adding new compression formats in the future.
compress-io.c
- replaced the never-defined struct lz4File pointer in glzFile
union with the more specific struct lz4File_in_r and Lz4File_out_r
pointers.
compress-io.h, compress-io.c
- added free of lz4 structures to gzclose. also changed file-close
logic generally so that (1) port is marked closed before anything is
freed to avoid dangling pointers in the case of an interrupt or
error, and (2) structures are freed even in the case of a write
or close error, before the error is reported. also now mallocing
glz and lz4 structures after possibility of errors have passed where
possible and freeing them when not.
compress-io.c,
io.ss
- added return-value checks to malloc calls and to a couple of other
C-library calls.
compress-io.c
- corrected EINTR checks to look at errno rather than return codes.
compress-io.c
- added S_ prefixes to the glz* exports
externs.h, compress-io.c, new-io.c, scheme.c, fasl.c
- added entries for mutex-name and mutex-thread

controversial, unless I damaged something in the process of integrating
them with other recent changes. the user's guide and release notes
have been updated as well to reflect the changes of interest to end
users.
- the body of load-library is now wrapped in a $pass-time with
to show the time spent loading libraries separately from the time
spent in expand.
syntax.ss
- interpret now plays the pass-time game
interpret.ss
- added compile-time-value? predicate and
compile-time-value-value accessor
syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
8.ms, primvars.ms, root-experr*
- $pass-stats now returns accurrate stats for the currently timed
pass.
7.ss
- compile-whole-program and compile-whole-library now propagate
recompile info from the named wpo file to the object file
to support maybe-compile-program and maybe-compile-library in
the case where compile-whole-{program,library} overwrites the
original object file.
compile.ss,
7.ms, mat.ss, primvars.ms
- replaced the ancient and unusable bintar with one that creates
a useful tarball for binary installs
bintar
- generated Mf-install InstallBin (InstallLib, InstallMan) now
correctly indirects through InstallPrefix if the --installbin
(--installlib, --installman) configure flag is not present.
src/configure
- removed definition of generate-procedure-source-information
patch.ss
- guardian tconc cells are now allocated in generation 0 in the hope
that they can be released more quickly.
gc.c
- added ftype-guardian syntax: (ftype-guardian A) creates a new
guardian for ftype pointers of type A, the first base field (or
one of the first base fields in the case of unions) of which must
be a word-sized integer with native endianness representing a
reference count. ftype pointers are registered with and retrieved
from the guardian just like objects are registered with and
retrieved from any guardian. the difference is that the garbage
collector decrements the reference count before resurrecting an
ftype pointer and resurrects only those whose reference counts
become zero, i.e., are ready for deallocation.
ftype.ss, cp0.ss, cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss, prims.ss, primdata.ss,

- fixed a bug in automatic recompilation handling of missing include
files specified with absolute pathnames or pathnames starting with
"./" or "..": was erroring out in file-modification-time with a
file-not-found or other exception rather than recompiling.
syntax.ss,
7.ms, root-experr*, patch*
- changed inline vector-for-each and string-for-each code to
put the last call to the procedure in tail position, as was
already done for the library definitions and for the inline
code for for-each.
cp0.ss,
5_4.ms, 5_6.ms
- the compiler now generates better inline code for the bytevector
procedure. instead of one byte memory write for each argument,
it writes up to 4 (32-bit machines) or 8 (64-bit machines) bytes
at a time, which almost always results in fewer instructions and
fewer writes.
cpnanopass.ss,
bytevector.ms
- packaged unchanging implicit reader arguments into a single record
to reduce the number of arguments.
read.ss
- recoded run-vector to handle zero-length vectors. it appears
we're not presently generating empty vectors (representing empty
groups), but the fasl format permits them.
7.ss
original commit: 7be1d190de7171f74a1ee71e348d3e6310392686
- fixed a bug in which instantiating a static foreign-callable code object
fails with an invalid memory reference because the collector has
discarded its relocation information. foreign-callable code objects
are now flagged as "templates", and the collector now refuses to
discard relocation information for code objects marked as templates
when copying them to the static generation.
cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss,
gc.c,
7.ms
- committing updated boot/*/equates.h (without the boot files, which are
still usable for bootstrapping)
boot/*/*.h
- updated release notes

original commit: 71d3abba684e04b134720ea1bd9a8c847c38ac5f
commonizatio pass and support for specifying default record
equal and hash procedures:
- more staid and consistent Mf-cross main target
Mf-cross
- cpletrec now replaces the incoming prelexes with new ones so
that it doesn't have to alter the flags on the incoming ones, since
the same expander output is passed through the compiler twice while
compiling a file with macro definitions or libraries. we were
getting away without this just by luck.
cpletrec.ss
- pure? and ivory? now return #t for a primref only if the prim is
declared to be a proc, since some non-proc prims are mutable, e.g.,
$active-threads and $collect-request-pending.
cp0.ss
- $error-handling-mode? and $eol-style? are now properly declared to
be procs rather than system state variables.
primdata.ss
- the new pass $check-prelex-flags verifies that prelex referenced,
multiply-referenced, and assigned flags are set when they
should be. (it doesn't, however, complain if a flag is set
when it need not be.) when the new system parameter
$enable-check-prelex-flags is set, $check-prelex-flags is
called after each major pass that produces Lsrc forms to verify
that the flags are set correctly in the output of the pass.
this parameter is unset by default but set when running the
mats.
cprep.ss, back.ss, compile.ss, primdata.ss,
mats/Mf-base
- removed the unnecessary set of prelex referenced flag from the
build-ref routines when we've just established that it is set.
syntax.ss, compile.ss
- equivalent-expansion? now prints differences to the current output
port to aid in debugging.
mat.ss
- the nanopass that patches calls to library globals into calls to
their local counterparts during whole-program optimization now
creates new prelexes and sets the prelex referenced, multiply
referenced, and assigned flags on the new prelexes rather than
destructively setting flags on the incoming prelexes. The
only known problems this fixes are (1) the multiply referenced
flag was not previously being set for cross-library calls when
it should have been, resulting in overly aggressive inlining
of library exports during whole-program optimization, and (2)
the referenced flag could sometimes be set for library exports
that aren't actually used in the final program, which could
prevent some unreachable code from being eliminated.
compile.ss
- added support for specifying default record-equal and
record-hash procedures.
primdata.ss, cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss, prims.ss, newhash.ss,
gc.c,
record.ms
- added missing call to relocate for subset-mode tc field, which
wasn't burning us because the only valid non-false value, the
symbol system, is in the static generation after the initial heap
compaction.
gc.c
- added a lambda-commonization pass that runs after the other
source optimizations, particularly inlining, and a new parameter
that controls how hard it works. the value of commonization-level
ranges from 0 through 9, with 0 disabling commonization and 9
maximizing it. The default value is 0 (disabled). At present,
for non-zero level n, the commonizer attempts to commonize
lambda expressions consisting of 2^(10-n) or more nodes.
commonization of one or more lambda expressions requires that
they have identical structure down to the leaf nodes for quote
expressions, references to unassigned variables, and primitives.
So that various downstream optimizations aren't disabled, there
are some additional restrictions, the most important of which
being that call-position expressions must be identical. The
commonizer works by abstracting the code into a helper that
takes the values of the differing leaf nodes as arguments.
the name of the helper is formed by concatenating the names of
the original procedures, separated by '&', and this is the name
that will show up in a stack trace. The source location will
be that of one of the original procedures. Profiling inhibits
commonization, because commonization requires profile source
locations to be identical.
cpcommonize.ss (new), compile.ss, interpret.ss, cprep.ss,
primdata.ss, s/Mf-base,
mats/Mf-base
- cpletrec now always produces a letrec rather than a let for
single immutable lambda bindings, even when not recursive, for
consistent expand/optimize output whether the commonizer is
run or not.
cpletrec.ss,
record.ms
- trans-make-ftype-pointer no longer generates a call to
$verify-ftype-address if the address expression is a call to
ftype-pointer-address.
ftype.ss
original commit: b6a3dcc814b64faacc9310fec4a4531fb3f18dcd
Add optional beginning-line and beginning-column components to a
source object, so that line and column information can be recorded
independent of the file. Add `locate-source-object-source` to use
the recorded information. Add a cache for `locate-source` as enabled by
the `use-cache?` optional argument, which can avoid compilation times
that are quadratic in the number of `let-values` or `define-values`
forms.
original commit: b36fab81d5041a54ce01a422395eee79d2f930bc
Revert the use of ephemeron pairs in weak hashtables, since the
difference is visible via guardians. Add hashtable based on ephemerons
(to avoid key-in-value problems) as an explicit variant.
original commit: 31ac6d78592e1a9ba6bfbe802260e3d56d4cf772
been seen on the pending list rather than the trigger lists.
gc.c
removed scan of space_ephemeron from check_heap because check_heap
as written can't handle the two link fields properly.
gcwrapper.c
in the ephemerons mat that checks interaction between mutation and
collection, added generation arguments to the first two collect
calls so they always collect into the intended generation.

the maximum length happens to be (most-positive-fixnum).
