Syntax objects generally make sense as properties in other syntax
objects, but they require special care when marshaling to bytecode
(as syntax objects do in general). To make that special handling
possible and reliable, constrain the shape of allowed values.
The name `path-extension` created a conflict for an existing
registered package, so it should not have been added to
`racket/path`.
Also, `path-get-extension` was intended to work on a path
that is syntactically a directory, so fix and test that.
Change the one expansion mode as far as I can tell) that disables
lifts so that lifts are now allowed, which means that
`(syntax-transforming?)` implies `(syntax-transforming--with-lifts?)`.
The old documentation incorrectly characterized when lifts
were allowed. Ryan noticed the documentation problem, and that
observation led to this simplication.
A `#:name` identifier picks the name that is bound to static
information about a structure type. An `#:extra-name` identifier
specifies an additional name to be bound to the information.
This pair of options is analogous to `#:constructor-name`
and `#:extra-constructor-name`.
Based on Jen Axel's suggestion and implementation.
Closes#1309
Provide a cleaned-up set up path-extension functions. In contrast
to `path-{add,replace}-suffix` and `filename-extension`, a dot
at the beginning of a path element is not treated as an extension
separator. Also, `path-extension` returns an extension including
its separator, which is more consistent with other extension
functions.
The new `path-has-extension?` function replaces many uses of
regexp matching in the base collections.
Closes#1307
Adjusts the docs, but a future replacement (possibly with a new name
to avoid compatibility issues) should behave like the old docs,
instead.
Closes#1292
Pass a string to the handler to describe the problem.
Also, fix minor issues (GC registration, contracts and `history`
in docs) and make `pregexp`, etc., report compilation errors as
`pregexp`, etc.
`->i` already supports method contracts (for use wihin `object-contract`,
whose `->i` support is tested, but undocumented), which would make `->im`
possible.
Unfortunately, that support is very incomplete, missing support for using
`this` in contracts, making this `->im` (or the undocumented `->i` +
`object-contract` combo) basically useless.
Once/if that is added, then this commit would enable `->im`. Until then,
it's mostly useful for future reference (hence will be reverted).
In the meantime, it's possible to use `->i` within class/object contracts
with an explicit `this` argument, so nothing critical is lost, just a tiny
shortcut.
A syntax property is added as preserved or not. For backward
compatibility, the default for a 'paren-shape key is preserved, and
any other key's default is non-preserved.
Compute an `equal?` hash code for `read`able values that
is a constant, at least for a given version of Racket. Only
(interned) symbols failed to have that property before.
On Unix and OS X, the check to avoid replacing an existing
file or directory is made by Racket, rather than the OS,
so don't claim a system error if the operation fails for
that reason.
Also, update the docs to clarify that the check is not
atomic with the move.
Closes issue #1158
