When collecting to the maximum generation with object counts enabled,
a structure type would effectively become permanently reachable.
Also, add `bytes-finalized` to report how many bytes were associated
with guardian-based finalization by the most recent collection.

Replace repetitive C code in "gc.c" and "vfasl.c" with an
implementation using a little "Parenthe-C" language, which is a
somewhat declarative description of object tracing. From that
descrition, we generate different kinds of tracing functions, such as
the copy function or the sweep function.
The little language is still bascially C, just with parentheses and
parameterization that is much better than trying to use the C
preprocessor. (The "mkgc.ss" file includes the compiler from
Parenthe-C to C.)
Besides replacing existing code, we also generate a new traversal to
implement `compute-object-sizes`. Finally, the GC can now perform a
fused `collect` and `compute-object-sizes` in a single traversal.
Also improve the way that locked objects are detected during GC. This
can make a significant difference (on the order of 10-20% for a full
collection) when locked objects are long-lived.

- 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.

- 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
In the general form of a function call, the return point embeds 4
words of information: offset to the start of the enclosing function,
frame size, live-veriable mask, and multiple-value return address. In
the common case, however, the multiple-value return address is either
the same as the return address or it is a `values-error` library
function, and the frame size and live-variable mask fit into a word
with bits to spare. This patch implements a more compact return point
for that common case, which shrinks the 4 words to 2 and also avoids a
relocation (= 1 more word).
Multiple-value returns are more complex with this change (i.e.,
require more code), since they must check whether the return point is
compact or not. But multiple-value returns are far less common than
function calls, so saving function-call space is a clear win.
Overall, this change tends to reduce code size by about 10% on x86_64.

If normal 1-shot continuations are mixed with opportunistic 1-shot
continuations created by `call-setting-continuation-attachment`, then
promoting an opportunistic 1-shot at a GC is wrong unless the whole
chain is promoted.

and functionality improvements (including support for measuring
coverage), primitive argument-checking fixes, and object-file changes
resulting in reduced load times (and some backward incompatibility):
- annotations are now preserved in object files for debug
only, for profiling only, for both, or not at all, depending
on the settings of generate-inspector-information and
compile-profile. in particular, when inspector information
is not enabled but profiling is, source information does
not leak into error messages and inspector output, though it is
still available via the profile tools. The mechanics of this
involved repurposing the fasl a? parameter to hold an annotation
flags value when it is not #f and remaking annotations with
new flags if necessary before emitting them.
compile.ss, fasl.ss, misc.ms
- altered a number of mats to produce correct results even
when the 's' directory is profiled.
misc.ms, cp0.ms, record.ms
- profile-release-counters is now generation-friendly; that is,
it doesn't look for dropped code objects in generations that have
not been collected since the last call to profile-release-counters.
also, it no longer allocates memory when it releases counters.
pdhtml.ss,
gc.c, gcwrapper.c, globals.h, prim5.c
- removed unused entry points S_ifile, S_ofile, and S_iofile
alloc.c, externs.h
- mats that test loading profile info into the compiler's database
to guide optimization now weed out preexisting entries, in case
the 's' directory is profiled.
4.ms, mat.ss, misc.ms, primvars.ms
- counters for dropped code objects are now released at the start
of each mat group.
mat.ss
- replaced ehc (enable-heap-check) option with hci (heap-check-interval)
option that allows heap checks to be performed periodically rather
than on each collection. hci=0 is equivalent to ehc=f (disabling
heap checks) and hci=1 is equivalent to ehc=t (enabling heap
checks every collection), while hci=100 enables heap checks only
every 100th collection. allx and bullyx mats use this feature
to reduce heap-checking overhead to a more reasonable level. this
is particularly important when the 's' directory is profiled,
since the amount of static memory to be checked is greatly increased
due to the counters.
mats/Mf-base, mat.ss, primvars.ms
- added a mat that calls #%show-allocation, which was otherwise not
being tested.
misc.ms
- removed a broken primvars mat and updated two others. in each case,
the mat was looking for information about primitives in the wrong
(i.e., old) place and silently succeeding when it didn't find any
primitives to tests. the revised mats (along with a few others) now
check to make sure at least one identifier has the information they
look for. the removed mat was checking for library information that
is now compiled in, so the mat is now unnecessary. the others were
(not) doing argument-error checks. fixing these turned up a handful of
problems that have also been fixed: a couple of unbound variables in the
mat driver, two broken primdata declarations, a tardy argument check
by profile-load-data, and a bug in char-ready?, which was requiring
an argument rather than defaulting it to the current input port.
primdata.ss, pdhtml.ss, io.ms,
primdvars.ms, 4.ms, 6.ms, misc.ms, patch*
- added initial support for recording coverage information. when the
new parameter generate-covin-files is set, the compiler generates
.covin files containing the universe of all source objects for which
profile forms are present in the expander output. when profiling
and generation of covin files are enabled in the 's' directory, the
mats optionally generate .covout files for each mat file giving
the subset of the universe covered by the mat file, along with an
all.covout in each mat output directory aggregating the coverage
for the directory and another all.covout in the top-level mat
directory aggregating the coverage for all directories.
back.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, primdata.ss, s/Mf-base,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, mats/primvars.ms
- support for generating covout files is now built in. with-coverage-output
gathers and dumps coverage information, and aggregate-coverage-output
combines (aggregates) covout files.
pdhtml.ss, primdata.ss, compile.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, primvars.ms
- profile-clear now adjusts active coverage trackers to avoid losing
coverage information.
pdhtml.ss,
prim5.c
- nested with-coverage calls are now supported.
pdhtml.ss
- switched to a more compact representation for covin and covout files;
reduces disk space (compressed or not) by about a factor of four
and read time by about a factor of two with no increase in write time.
primdata.ss, pdhtml.ss, cprep.ss, compile.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base
- added support for determining coverage for an entire run, including
coverage for expressions hit during boot time. 'all' mats now produce
run.covout files in each output directory, and 'allx' mats produce
an aggregate run.covout file in the mat directory.
pdhtml.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base
- profile-release-counters now adjusts active coverage trackers to
account for the counters that have been released.
pdhtml.ss,
prim5.c
- replaced the artificial "examples" target with a real "build-examples"
target so make won't think it always has to mats that depend upon
the examples directory having been compiled. mats make clean now
runs make clean in the examples directory.
mats/Mf-base
importing a library from an object file now just visits the object
file rather than doing a full load so that the run-time code for
the library is not retained. The run-time code is still read
because the current fasl format forces the entire file to be read,
but not retaining the code can lower heap size and garbage-collection
cost, particularly when many object-code libraries are imported.
The downside is that the file must be revisited if the run-time
code turns out to be required. This change exposed several
places where the code was failing to check if a revisit is needed.
syntax.ss,
7.ms, 8.ms, misc.ms, root-experr*
- fixed typos: was passing unquoted load rather than quoted load
to $load-library along one path (where it is loading source code
and therefore irrelevant), and was reporting src-path rather than
obj-path in a message about failing to define a library.
syntax.ss
- compile-file and friends now put all recompile information in
the first fasl object after the header so the library manager can
find it without loading the entire fasl file. The library manager
now does so. It also now checks to see if library object files
need to be recreated before loading them rather than loading them and
possibly recompiling them after discovering they are out of date, since
the latter requires loading the full object file even if it's out of
date, while the former takes advantage of the ability to extract just
recompile information. as well as reducing overhead, this eliminates
possibly undesirable side effects, such as creation and registration
of out-of-date nongenerative record-type descriptors. because the
library manager expects to find recompile information at the front of
an object file, it will not find all recompile information if object
files are "catted" together. also, compile-file has to hold in memory
the object code for all expressions in the file so that it can emit the
unified recompile information, rather than writing to the object file
incrementally, which can significantly increase the memory required
to compile a large file full of individual top-level forms. This does
not affect top-level programs, which were already handled as a whole,
or a typical library file that contains just a single library form.
compile.ss, syntax.ss
- the library manager now checks include files before library dependencies
when compile-imported-libraries is false (as it already did when
compile-imported-libraries is true) in case a source change affects
the set of imported libraries. (A library change can affect the set
of include files as well, but checking dependencies before include
files can cause unneeded libraries to be loaded.) The include-file
check is based on recompile-info rather than dependencies, but the
library checks are still based on dependencies.
syntax.ss
- fixed check for binding of scheme-version. (the check prevents
premature treatment of recompile-info records as Lexpand forms
to be passed to $interpret-backend.)
scheme.c
- strip-fasl-file now preserves recompile-info when compile-time info
is stripped.
strip.ss
- removed include-req* from library/ct-info and ctdesc records; it
is no longer needed now that all recompile information is maintained
separately.
expand-lang.ss, syntax.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, syntax.ss
- changed the fasl format and reworked a lot of code in the expander,
compiler, fasl writer, and fasl reader to allow the fasl reader
to skip past run-time information when it isn't needed and
compile-time information when it isn't needed. Skipping past
still involves reading and decoding when encrypted, but the fasl
reader no longer parses or allocates code and data in the portions
to be skipped. Side effects of associating record uids with rtds
are also avoided, as are the side effects of interning symbols
present only in the skipped data. Skipping past code objects
also reduces or eliminates the need to synchronize data and
instruction caches. Since the fasl reader no longer returns
compile-time (visit) or run-time (revisit) code and data when not
needed, the fasl reader no longer wraps these objects in a pair
with a 0 or 1 visit or revisit marker. To support this change,
the fasl writer generates separate top-level fasl entries (and
graphs) for separate forms in the same top-level source form
(e.g., begin or library). This reliably breaks eq-ness of shared
structure across these forms, which was previously broken only
when visit or revisit code was loaded at different times (this
is an incompatible change). Because of the change, fasl "groups"
are no longer needed, so they are no longer handled.
7.ss, cmacros.ss, compile.ss, expand-lang.ss, strip.ss,
externs.h, fasl.c, scheme.c,
hash.ms
- the change above is surfaced in an optional fasl-read "situation"
argument (visit, revisit, or load). The default is load. visit
causes it to skip past revisit code and data; revisit causes it
to skip past visit code and data; and load causes it not to skip
past either. visit-revisit data produced by (eval-when (visit
revisit) ---) is never skipped.
7.ss, primdata.ss,
io.stex
- to improve compile-time and run-time error checking, the
Lexpand recompile-info, library/rt-info, library-ct-info, and
program-info forms have been replaced with list-structured forms,
e.g., (recompile-info ,rcinfo).
expand-lang.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, interpret.ss, syntax.ss
- added visit-compiled-from-port and revisit-compiled-from-port
to complement the existing load-compiled-from-port.
7.ss, primdata.ss,
7.ms,
system.stex
- increased amount read when seeking an lz4-encrypted input
file from 32 to 1024 bytes at a time
compress-io.c
- replaced the fasl a? parameter value #t with an "all" flag value
so it's value is consistently a mask.
cmacros.ss, fasl.ss, compile.ss
- split off profile mats into a separate file
misc.ms, profile.ms (new), root-experr*, mats/Mf-base
- added coverage percent computations to mat allx/bullyx output
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, primvars.ms
- replaced coverage tables with more generic and generally useful
source tables, which map source objects to arbitrary values.
pdhtml.ss, compile.ss, cprep.ss, primdata.ss,
mat.ss, mats/Mf-base, primvars.ms, profile.ms,
syntax.stex
- reduced profile counting overhead by using calls to fold-left
instead of calls to apply and map and by using fixnum operations
for profile counts on 64-bit machines.
pdhtml.ss
- used a critical section to fix a race condition in the calculations
of profile counts that sometimes resulted in bogus (including
negative) counts, especially when the 's' directory is profiled.
pdhtml.ss
- added discard flag to declaration for hashtable-size
primdata.ss
- redesigned the printed representation of source tables and rewrote
get-source-table! to read and store incrementally to reduce memory
overhead.
compile.ss
- added generate-covin-files to the set of parameters preserved
by compile-file, etc.
compile.ss,
system.stex
- moved covop argument before the undocumented machine and hostop
arguments to compile-port and compile-to-port. removed the
undocumented ofn argument from compile-to-port; using
(port-name ip) instead.
compile.ss, primdata.ss,
7.ms,
system.stex
- compile-port now tries to come up with a file position to supply
to make-read, which it can do if the port's positions are character
positions (presently string ports) or if the port is positioned
at zero.
compile.ss
- audited the argument-type-error fuzz mat exceptions and fixed a
host of problems this turned up (entries follow). added #f as
an invalid argument for every type for which #f is indeed invalid
to catch places where the maybe- prefix was missing on the argument
type. the mat tries hard to determine if the condition raised
(if any) as the result of an invalid argument is appropriate and
redirects the remainder to the mat-output (.mo) file prefixed
with 'Expected error', causing them to show up in the expected
error output so developers will be encouraged to audit them in
the future.
primvars.ms, mat.ss
- added an initial symbol? test on machine type names so we produce
an invalid machine type error message rather than something
confusing like "machine type #f is not supported".
compile.ss
- fixed declarations for many primitives that were specified as
accepting arguments of more general types than they actually
accept, such as number -> real for various numeric operations,
symbol -> endianness for various bytevector operations,
time -> time-utc for time-utc->date, and list -> list-of-string-pairs
for default-library-search-handler. also replaced some of the
sub-xxxx types with specific types such as sub-symbol -> endianness
in utf16->string, but only where they were causing issues with
the primvars argument-type-error fuzz mat. (this should be done
more generally.)
primdata.ss
- fixed incorrect who arguments (was map instead of fold-right,
current-date instead of time-utc->date); switched to using
define-who/set-who! generally.
4.ss, date.ss
- append! now checks all arguments before any mutation
5_2.ss
- with-source-path now properly supplies itself as who for the
string? argument check; callers like load now do their own checks.
7.ss
- added missing integer? check to $fold-bytevector-native-ref whose
lack could have resulted in a compile-time error.
cp0.ss
- fixed typo in output-port-buffer-mode error message
io.ss
- fixed who argument (was fx< rather than fx<?)
library.ss
- fixed declaration of first source-file-descriptor argument (was
sfd, now string)
primdata.ss
- added missing article 'a' in a few error messages
prims.ss
- fixed the copy-environment argument-type error message for the list
of symbols argument.
syntax.ss
- the environment procedure now catches exceptions that occur and
reraises the exception with itself as who if the condition isn't
already a who condition.
syntax.ss
- updated experr and allx patch files for changes to argument-count
fuzz mat and fixes for problems turned up by them.
root-experr*, patch*
- fixed a couple of issues setting port sizes: string and bytevector
output port put handlers don't need room to store the character
or byte, so they now set the size to the buffer length rather
than one less. binary-file-port-clear-output now sets the index
rather than size to zero; setting the size to zero is inappropriate
for some types of ports and could result in loss of buffering and
even suppression of future output. removed a couple of redundant
sets of the size that occur immediately after setting the buffer.
io.ss
- it is now possible to return from a call to with-profile-tracker
multiple times and not double-count (or worse) any counts.
pdhtml.ss, profile.ms
- read-token now requires a file position when it is handed a
source-file descriptor (since the source-file descriptor isn't
otherwise useful), and the source-file descriptor argument can
no longer be #f. the input file position plays the same role as
the input file position in get-datum/annotations. these extra
read-token arguments are now documented.
read.ss,
6.ms,
io.stex
- the source-file descriptor argument to get-datum/annotations can
no longer be #f. it was already documented that way.
read.ss
- read-token and do-read now look for the character-positions port
flag before asking if the port has port-position, since the latter
is slightly more expensive.
read.ss
- rd-error now reports the current port position if it can be determined
when fp isn't already set, i.e., when reading from a port without
character positions (presently any non string port) and fp has not
been passed in explicitly (to read-token or get-datum/annotations).
the port position might not be a character position, but it should be
better than nothing.
read.ss
- added comment noting an invariant for s_profile_release_counters.
prim5.c
- restored accidentally dropped fasl-write formdef and dropped
duplicate fasl-read formdef
io.stex
- added a 'coverage' target that tests the coverage of the Scheme-code
portions of Chez Scheme by the mats.
Makefile.in, Makefile-workarea.in
- added .PHONY declarations for all of the targets in the top-level
and workarea make files, and renamed the create-bintar, create-rpm,
and create-pkg targets bintar, rpm, and pkg.
Makefile.in, Makefile-workarea.in
- added missing --retain-static-relocation command-line argument and
updated the date
scheme.1.in
- removed a few redundant conditional variable settings
configure
- fixed declaration of condition wait (timeout -> maybe-timeout)

Add a shortcut check when refiying the continuation frame in tail
position, which is significantly cheaper when the frame is already
there. We pay down the check by skipping an attachment-lists check
that is not needed if the frame is newly reified.
Aslo, add a one-shot continuation-frame cache, which makes a shallow
temporary attachment cheaper, as in
(let loop ([i N])
(if (zero? i)
0
(loop (call-setting-continuation-attachment
i
(lambda ()
(f (sub1 i)))))))
The cache is just one frame. Keeping a chain of allocated-by-not-GCed
frames doesn't pay off.
Meanwhile, remove the leftover `$shift-attachment` library entry.
original commit: 1f454f536b1d7efe20fe9e793cda31e54e31e5f4
Weak pairs, ephemeron pairs, some symbols, and some ports were handled
incorerctly when locked multiple times.
original commit: 847fc1c84496f67cd363c8411d0023339f4d6246
The `unlock-object` operation was O(N) with N currently locked objects
--- so, O(N^2) to lock N objects and then unlock them --- because
locked objects were stored in and searched in a global list. Also, GC
was O(N) at any generation with N locked objects across generations,
since every locked object was scanned.
Fix these poblems so that locking and unlocking is practically O(1)
and GC is not poportional to locked objects. More precisely, locking
and unlocking is now O(C) for locking an individual object C times to
be balanced by C unlocks. (Since multiple locks on a single object
is rare, this performance seems good enough.)
The implementation replaces the global list with segment-specific
lists. Backpointers are managed using the general generational
support, so that unmodified, old-generation locked objects do not
need to be swept duing a new-generation collection.
original commit: a57d256ca73a3d507792c471facb7e35afbe88b3
- 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

controversial, unless I damaged something in the process of integrating
them with other recent changes. the user's guide and release notes
have been updated as well to reflect the changes of interest to end
users.
- the body of load-library is now wrapped in a $pass-time with
to show the time spent loading libraries separately from the time
spent in expand.
syntax.ss
- interpret now plays the pass-time game
interpret.ss
- added compile-time-value? predicate and
compile-time-value-value accessor
syntax.ss, primdata.ss,
8.ms, primvars.ms, root-experr*
- $pass-stats now returns accurrate stats for the currently timed
pass.
7.ss
- compile-whole-program and compile-whole-library now propagate
recompile info from the named wpo file to the object file
to support maybe-compile-program and maybe-compile-library in
the case where compile-whole-{program,library} overwrites the
original object file.
compile.ss,
7.ms, mat.ss, primvars.ms
- replaced the ancient and unusable bintar with one that creates
a useful tarball for binary installs
bintar
- generated Mf-install InstallBin (InstallLib, InstallMan) now
correctly indirects through InstallPrefix if the --installbin
(--installlib, --installman) configure flag is not present.
src/configure
- removed definition of generate-procedure-source-information
patch.ss
- guardian tconc cells are now allocated in generation 0 in the hope
that they can be released more quickly.
gc.c
- added ftype-guardian syntax: (ftype-guardian A) creates a new
guardian for ftype pointers of type A, the first base field (or
one of the first base fields in the case of unions) of which must
be a word-sized integer with native endianness representing a
reference count. ftype pointers are registered with and retrieved
from the guardian just like objects are registered with and
retrieved from any guardian. the difference is that the garbage
collector decrements the reference count before resurrecting an
ftype pointer and resurrects only those whose reference counts
become zero, i.e., are ready for deallocation.
ftype.ss, cp0.ss, cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss, prims.ss, primdata.ss,

- fixed a bug in automatic recompilation handling of missing include
files specified with absolute pathnames or pathnames starting with
"./" or "..": was erroring out in file-modification-time with a
file-not-found or other exception rather than recompiling.
syntax.ss,
7.ms, root-experr*, patch*
- changed inline vector-for-each and string-for-each code to
put the last call to the procedure in tail position, as was
already done for the library definitions and for the inline
code for for-each.
cp0.ss,
5_4.ms, 5_6.ms
- the compiler now generates better inline code for the bytevector
procedure. instead of one byte memory write for each argument,
it writes up to 4 (32-bit machines) or 8 (64-bit machines) bytes
at a time, which almost always results in fewer instructions and
fewer writes.
cpnanopass.ss,
bytevector.ms
- packaged unchanging implicit reader arguments into a single record
to reduce the number of arguments.
read.ss
- recoded run-vector to handle zero-length vectors. it appears
we're not presently generating empty vectors (representing empty
groups), but the fasl format permits them.
7.ss
original commit: 7be1d190de7171f74a1ee71e348d3e6310392686
An attachment continuation link can be a 1-shot continuation, but
the existing 1-short continuation implementation tends to work
less well than mutishot continuations. An opportunistic 1-shot
continuation is like a multi-shot continuation, but if it is
called from a stack that is adjacent to the continuation, then
the stack is merged with the continuation's stack.
original commit: ea1eb3c5192d644ad4c4cbf755bcb6fd438cc364
- fixed a bug in which instantiating a static foreign-callable code object
fails with an invalid memory reference because the collector has
discarded its relocation information. foreign-callable code objects
are now flagged as "templates", and the collector now refuses to
discard relocation information for code objects marked as templates
when copying them to the static generation.
cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss,

- committing updated boot/*/equates.h (without the boot files, which are
still usable for bootstrapping)
boot/*/*.h

The `object-references` function is intended to support debugging of
memory leaks by providing a mapping from each live object to the
object that retained it.
original commit: 61f6602b7e6c388c529f3c5995dcf71a7c42e005
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.
cprep.ss, back.ss, compile.ss, primdata.ss,
mats/Mf-base
- 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.

primdata.ss, s/Mf-base,

- 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.
cpletrec.ss,
record.ms
- trans-make-ftype-pointer no longer generates a call to
$verify-ftype-address if the address expression is a call to
ftype-pointer-address.
ftype.ss
original commit: b6a3dcc814b64faacc9310fec4a4531fb3f18dcd
Add optional beginning-line and beginning-column components to a
source object, so that line and column information can be recorded
independent of the file. Add `locate-source-object-source` to use
the recorded information. Add a cache for `locate-source` as enabled by
the `use-cache?` optional argument, which can avoid compilation times
that are quadratic in the number of `let-values` or `define-values`
forms.
original commit: b36fab81d5041a54ce01a422395eee79d2f930bc
Revert the use of ephemeron pairs in weak hashtables, since the
difference is visible via guardians. Add hashtable based on ephemerons
(to avoid key-in-value problems) as an explicit variant.
original commit: 31ac6d78592e1a9ba6bfbe802260e3d56d4cf772
been seen on the pending list rather than the trigger lists.
gc.c
removed scan of space_ephemeron from check_heap because check_heap
as written can't handle the two link fields properly.
gcwrapper.c
in the ephemerons mat that checks interaction between mutation and
collection, added generation arguments to the first two collect
calls so they always collect into the intended generation.
