- reword the first-page explanation of chaperone contracts;
try to give a positive description by talking about wrappers first
(rather than starting with what chaperones maybe don't do)
- name the recognizer functions for chaperone & impersonator contracts
(on the first page)
- clarify that `contract-projection` and `contract-val-first-projection`
are bad --- that there's a preferred alternative
- describe the outputs of `contract-projection` and
`contract-val-first-projection`; their docs were identical before, but
now re-use prose from sec 8.7 (Building New Contract Combinators)
Use a consistent style for the "good / bad" examples:
- start the code at the far left of each box
- keep a little space between the top of the box & the label
GitHub's CDN seems to have recently started returning the `Location` header for a redirect with a lowercase `l`, which breaks the redirect logic. The HTTP spec says that header names are case-insensitive, so we need to look for either version.
Commit 72d90e4 ("library-manager, numeric, and bytevector-compres
improvements") introduced a regression causing Win32 nmake builds to
fail due to an undefined symbol in c\schsig.c.
This symbol (scheme_signals_registered) is defined in a preprocessor-
conditional code block excluding WIN32 between lines 544 and 737.
This commit bypasses the build regression by enclosing the unresolved
expression in a preprocessor conditional excluding WIN32.

Make `register-process-global` check for byte strings, and avoid
retaining the byte string that it's given (in case that changes, for
example).
Closes#3053
- added invoke-library
syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
8.ms, root-experr*,
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.
number.c,
5_3.ms,
release_notes.stex
- 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.
cmacros.ss, library.ss, prims.ss, primdata.ss,
schsig.c, externs.h, prim5.c, thread.c, gc.c,
unix.ms,
system.stex, release_notes.stex
- 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.

original commit: 72d90e4c67849908da900d0b6249a1dedb5f8c7f
Building glib-specific support into the main Racket executable is
unsatisfying, but it's consistent with Racket BC, and the alternative
is especially tedious to deal with places and namespaces and
allocation.
A 0 relocation is used by fcallable code as a recognizable cookie, and
its relocations must be preserved.

In previous versions of Chez Scheme, multiple object files could be
combined by concatinating them into a single file. To support faster
object file loading and loadability verification, recompile information
and information about libraries and top-level programs within an object
file is now placed at the top of the file. The new
concatenate-object-files procedure can be used to combine multiple object
files while moving this information to the top of the combined file.
original commit: d4ef2ad9393578ff3ffe3b712736bc6a4ae7b8eb
Combined with a schemify improvement that inlines imported predicates
to expose the record-type test to Chez Scheme, this chage enables
cptypes to prune useless inlined `wrapped-object` selector branches.
That improvement, in turn, reduces code size and redundant checks on
objects that have contracts.
When a `lambda` form is marked as a method (for arity error reporting)
through a property, translate that to a static flag on the procedure,
instead of a call to `procedure->method`.
The only way we have to attach static information is through the
procedure name, so the encoding already in place for "no name" and
"path-based name" is extended to support a method flag.
Since procedures have names that are attached more directly by the
schemify pass, remove simple `let-values` forms wrapping procedures.
This shortcut improves the result of the lifting pass in some cases.
