A value that starts "1", "y", or "Y" enabled incremental mode
permanently (any value was allowed formerly), while a value that
starts "0", "n", or "N" causes incremental-mode requests to be
ignored.
Port `examples`, `interactions`, etc., to use the new `examples`
form of `scribble/examples`. The main intended effect is to ensure
that errors are produced by examples only as specifically
indicated.
- uniformly remove the extra layers of calls to unknown functions for
chapereone-of? checks that make sure that chaperone contracts are
well-behaved (put those checks only in contracts that are created
outside racket/contract)
- clean up and simplify how missing projection functions are created
(val-first vs late-neg vs the regular ones)
- add some logging to more accurately tell when late-neg projections
aren't being used
- port the contract combinator that ->m uses to use late-neg
- port the </c combinator to use late-neg
Although calling `(collect-garbage 'incremental)` in a program with
a periodic task is the best way to request incremental collection, it's
handy for some experiments to have an environment variable that turns
it on permanently.
This change also makes incremental-mode minor collections log as "mIn"
instead of "min", and it changes the first field of the logged
`gc-info` structure to be a mode symbol instead of a boolean.
Allow a more dynamic (than `impersonator-prop:application-mark`)
determination of continuation marks and associated values to wrap the
call of an impersonated procedure.
When an internal-definition context is used with `local-expand`, the
any binding added to the context affect expansion, but the binding do
not appear in the expansion. As a result, Check Syntax was unable to
draw an arrow from the `s` use to its binding in
(class object%
(define-struct s ())
s)
The general solution is to add the internal-definition context's
bindings to the expansion as a 'disappeared-bindings property. The new
`internal-definitionc-context-track` function does that using a new
`internal-definition-context-binding-identifier` primitive.
Make the old-generation marking process incremental
on request, where `(collect-garbage 'incremental)`
makes a request.
Only the marking phase of an old-generation collection
is incremental, so far. In exchange for slower
minor collections and a larger heap, you get a major
collection pause time that is roughly halved. So, this
is a step forward, but not good enough for most purposes
that need incremental collection.
An incremental-mode request sticks until the next
major GC. The idea is that any program that could
benefit from incremental collection will have
some sort of periodic task where it can naturally
request incremental mode. (In particular, that
request belongs in the program, not in some external
flag to the runtime system.) Otherwise, the
system should revert to non-incremental mode, given
that incremental mode is slower overall and can
use much more memory --- usually within a factor of
two, but the factor can be much worse due to
fragmentation.
After some expansions, a expression with the syntax property 'inferred-name of
'x is converted to one with ('x . 'x), so it's not useful to get the name of a
procedure. So we simplify the syntax property 'inferred-name to handle
these cases.
