libraries.stex, release_notes.stex
- updated the date
release_notes.stex
- libraries contained within a whole program or library are now
marked pending before their invoke code is run so that invoke
cycles are reported as such rather than as attempts to invoke
while still loading.
compile.ss, syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
7.ms, root-experr*
- the library manager now protects against unbound references
from separately compiled libraries or programs to identifiers
ostensibly but not actually exported by (invisible) libraries
that exist only locally within a whole program. this is done by
marking the invisibility of the library in the library-info and
propagating it to libdesc records; the latter is checked upon
library import, visit, and invoke as well as by verify-loadability.
the import and visit code of each invisible no longer complains
about invisibility since it shouldn't be reachable.
syntax.ss, compile.ss, expand-lang.ss,
7.ms, 8.ms, root-experr*, patch*
- documented that compile-whole-xxx's linearization of the
library initialization code based on static dependencies might
not work for dynamic dependencies.
system.stex
- optimized bignum right shifts so the code (1) doesn't look at
shifted-off bigits if the bignum is positive, since it doesn't
need to know in that case if any bits are set; (2) doesn't look
at shifted-off bigits if the bignum is negative if it determines
that at least one bit is set in the bits shifted off the low-order
partially retained bigit; (3) quits looking, if it must look, for
one bits as soon as it finds one; (4) looks from both ends under
the assumption that set bits, if any, are most likely to be found
toward the high or low end of the bignum rather than just in the
middle; and (5) doesn't copy the retained bigits and then shift;
rather shifts as it copies. This leads to dramatic improvements
when the shift count is large and often significant improvements
otherwise.

- threaded tc argument through to all calls to S_bignum and
S_trunc_rem so they don't have to call get_thread_context()
when it might already have been called.
alloc.c, number.c, fasl.c, print.c, prim5.c, externs.h
- added an expand-primitive handler to partially inline integer?.
cpnanopass.ss
- added some special cases for basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *,
/, quotient, remainder, and the div/div0/mod/mod0 operations) to
avoid doing unnecessary work for large bignums when the result
will be zero (e.g,. multiplying by 0), the same as one of the
inputs (e.g., adding 0 or multiplying by 1), or the additive
inverse of one of the inputs (e.g., subtracting from 0, dividing
by -1). This can have a major beneficial affect when operating
on large bignums in the cases handled. also converted some uses
of / into integer/ where going through the former would just add
overhead without the possibility of optimization.
5_3.ss,
number.c, externs.h, prim5.c,
5_3.ms, root-experr, patch*,
release_notes.stex
- added a queue to hold pending signals for which handlers have
been registered via register-signal-handler so up to 63 (configurable
in the source code) unhandled signals are buffered before the
handler has to start dropping them.

- bytevector-compress now selects the level of compression based
on the compress-level parameter. Prior to this it always used a
default setting for compression. the compress-level parameter
can now take on the new minimum in addition to low, medium, high,
and maximum. minimum is presently treated the same as low
except in the case of lz4 bytevector compression, where it
results in the use of LZ4_compress_default rather than the
slower but more effective LZ4_compress_HC.

Avoid saving a list of per-field vector descriptions when
field names are not going to be relevant and the rest of
the description is easily computed from information that is
alerady available.

Uninterned symbols are slightly more expensive to allocate than 0- or
1-argument calls to `gensym`, but they're much cheaper to hash (and
print). They're also more consistently distinct when unfasled, and the
fasled form is determinsitic.

which are just like hashtable-cell, except that if the given
key isn't present, they return #f instead of mutating the table.

- 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

original commit: 722ffabef4c938bc92c0fe07f789a9ba350dc6c6
A program can use `make-arity-wrapper-procedure` to synthesize a
function that reports a given arity mask (without calling `compile`).
In addition, `set-arity-wrapper-procedure!` suports modifying the
implementation of a synthesized procedure. Although similar
functionality could be achieved with `(lambda args (apply (unbox proc)
args))`, an arity wrapper procedure can dispatch to another procedure
without allocating a list for the arguments.
The interpreter now uses an internal variant of arity wrappers to
cooperate with `procedure-arity-mask`.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
