Make the module path index for bindings in a `module->namespace` be a
"self" MPI (with #f for path and base), instead of the MPI associated
with bindings as view from the outside of the module instance. That
makes interactive evalaution in the namespace more closely approximate
expansion within the original module.
Example use: ASL detects a "self" MPI to determine when it should
allow assignment to module-defined variables in the REPL.
This change means that if a macro transformer calls expand (not
local-expand, but top-level expand), the macro debugger won't
receive the inner expand's events. Previously, the macro debugger
tried to parse and then discard the inner expand, but that was
brittle and complicated the grammar.
The old reader used an internal option to short-circuit special-value
reading when a special value acts as a terminating "character". Expose
that shortcut by allowing 'special as an argument to
`peek-{char,byte}-or-special`, and update the reader to use it.
This commit merges changes that were developed in the "racket7" repo.
See that repo (which is no longer modified) for a more fine-grained
change history.
The commit includes experimental support for running Racket on Chez
Scheme, but that "CS" variant is not built by default.
Add a `_bytes` variant type that will work more consistently with
Racket-on-Chez, where the representation of a byte string does not
include an implicit nul terminator.
Faster for the case that an impersonator has a small number of
impersonator properties. To enable hand-coded search, a small number
of properties are now kept in a vector instead of a hash tree.
Commit 89512eda had accientally disabled the JIT's fast
path for structure-type property predicates and selectors.
Re-enable it, but but repair a problem with the way that
impersonator-property operations are handled by the same
code.
Before 544b7a3d53, an incorrect barrier check prevented applying
a continuation captured in other threads from being applied in a
thread created with `call-in-nested-thread`. There's no good
reason to prohibit such an application, and now that the bogus
check is gone, an explicit prompt is needed in the implementation
to make it behave correctly.
Provide unsafe functions for working with file descriptors and
sockets. Although more functions are potentially useful, these
reflect the one scurrently exported by the C API.
When a composable continuation has continuation marks that should
be merged with marks in the immediate continuation frame when
the continuation is applied, then mergeing did not always work.
It only worked in the case that the merge cadidates are the only
marks, because the merging check used the wrong end of the captured
sequence of marks.
Using `(local-expand <expr> 'module-begin <stops> def-ctx)` didn't
work right, because definitions added to `def-ctx` were not visible.
(While adding definitions before `module-begin` expansion is an unusual
thing to do, there's no reason that it has to fail.)
Repairs a problem with ce9894c8bf, where a large "inlined" vector
allocation is not actually inlined, but other parts of the JIT
assume that it will behave as inlined --- which implies that the
runstack will be left unchanged after the call.
Closes#1868
