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?'
Also, fix FFI procedures to preserve names: change `ptr-ref' with
`_fpointer' on an `ffi-obj' value to return the `ffi-obj'
value, so that the name in the `ffi-obj' value can be used
by `_cprocedure'.
Closes PR 12645
Extend `define-cstruct' to support #:property specs, which causes
the constructor and C->Racket coercsions to wrap the pointer in
a structure instance with the specified properties. Of course,
the wrapper structure has a `prop:cpointer' property so that the
wrapper can be used transparently as a C pointer.
Add missing tests and documentation for the id`->list', `list->'id,
id`->list*', and `list*->'id bindings created by `define-cstruct'.
punctuations outside of the form, as it does with quote punctuations.
So things like this
#, @foo{...}
that required the space to make the @foo read as a scribble form are
now better written as
@#,foo{...}
This changes all such occurrences. (In case you see this change in
your files and are worried that there might be changes: I mechanically
verified that the result of `read'ing the modified files is identical
to the previous version.)
