The intent is to support phase-crossing data such as the `exn:fail:syntax'
structure type that is instantiaed by macros and recognized by contexts
that use `eval' or `expand'. Phaseless modules are highly constrained,
however, to avoid new cross-phase channels, and a module is inferred to
be phaseless when it fits syntactic constraints.
I've adjusted `racket/kernel' and improved its documentation a little
so that it can be used to implement a phaseless module (which can
import only from other phaseless modules).
This change also adds a `flags' field to the `mod' structure type
from `compiler/zo-structs'.
Instad of `(dynamic-require .. #f)', use `(dynamic-require .. 0)', which
has the effect of making compile-time code "available" (see docs) in
case the loaded module uses `eval' on syntax objects that refer to
non-kernel syntax.
This is, afaict, a completely backwards compatible way to add this
functionality in the sense that any of the non-error command-line
arguments passed to raco test before still do precisely the same
things
An extflonum is like a flonum, but with 80-bit precision and
not a number in the sense of `number?': only operations such as
`extfl+' work on extflonums, and only on platforms where extflonums
can be implemented by hardware without interefering with flonums
(i.e., on platforms where SSE instructions are used for
double-precision floats).
[Patch provided by Michael Filonenko and revised by Matthew.]
The compiler tracks information about bindings that are known to
hold extflonums, but the JIT does not yet exploit this information
to unbox them (except as intermediate results).
Strip any code signing when generating an executable from
Racket or GRacket. Also, place the __LINKEDIT segment in
virtual memory after the __PLTSCHEME segment, so that
the in-memory layout order matches the file layout order,
which in turn makes the code-signing tool's update of the
__LINKEDIT segment's size not create a virtual-memory
overlap with __PLTSCHEME.
This is another old bug that could have caused validation failures
with flonums, but it showed up with fixnum tracking because fixnums
are more common (e.g., from `string-length').
There were really two bugs: information installed at the
wrong offet in one place, and a failure to detect that information
should be propagated in a different place. Fixing both avoids
a validation problem with `html/sgml-reader'.
Track fixnum results in the same way as flonum results to enable
unboxing, if that turns out to be useful. The intent of the change,
though, is to support other types in the future, such as "extnums".
The output `raco decompile' no longer includes `#%in', `#%flonum',
etc., annotations, which are mostly obvious and difficult to
keep in sync with the implementation. A local-binding name now
reflects a known type, however.
The change includes a bug repair for he bytecode compiler that
is independent of the generalization (i.e., the new test case
triggered the old problem using flonums).
The new function allows declaration of a module dependency, as
opposed to a mere file dependency. Misuse of this function opens
the door to cyclic compilation dependencies, so we have to check
for that in `compiler/cm'.
I started from tabs that are not on the beginning of lines, and in
several places I did further cleanings.
If you're worried about knowing who wrote some code, for example, if you
get to this commit in "git blame", then note that you can use the "-w"
flag in many git commands to ignore whitespaces. For example, to see
per-line authors, use "git blame -w <file>". Another example: to see
the (*much* smaller) non-whitespace changes in this (or any other)
commit, use "git log -p -w -1 <sha1>".
Shape information allows the linker to check the importing
module's compile-time expectation against the run-time
value of its imports. The JIT, in turn, can rely on that
checking to better inline structure-type predicates, etc.,
and to more directy call JIT-generated code across
module boundaries.
In addition to checking the "shape" of an import, the import's
JITted vs. non-JITted state must be consistent. To prevent shifts
in JIT state, the `eval-jit-enabled' parameter is now restricted
in its effect to top-level bindings.
Bytecode changes in two small ways to help the validator:
* a cross-module variable reference preserves the compiler's
annotation on whether the reference is constant, fixed, or other
* lifted procedures now appear in the module body just before the
definitions that use them, instead of at the beginning of the
module body
An attempt to detect a submodule could trigger the original module
name resolver when the would-be enclosing module would be handled
by the embedding-specific resolver. When a submodule is not found
but its would-be enclosing module is embedded, then assume that
the default resolver wouldn't find the submodule, eithe --- and
therefore avoid a potential "collection not found" error.
The new parameter (and supporting environment variables and
command-line flags) can bytecode lookup to a tree other than
where a source file resides, so that sources and generated
compiled files can be kept separate. It also supports storing
bytecode files in a version-specific location (either with
the source or elsewhere).
When a module is loaded from bytecode and then the value of
`use-compiled-file-paths' changes, an attempt to load a submodule
would fail, because source isn't used if the main module is
already declared, and the bytecode code is not used according to
`use-compiled-file-paths'. Make the bytecode path stick when it
is used once, so that submodule loads succeed, and make it work
even with `namespace-module-attach'.
The module-attach part of this protocol requires a change to the
API of a module name resolver: the notification mode gets two
arguments, instead of one, where the second argument is an
environment.
The libraries moved were:
- mzlib/control => racket/control
- mzlib/date => racket/date
- mzlib/deflate => file/gzip
- mzlib/inflate => file/gunzip
- mzlib/port => racket/port
- mzlib/process => racket/system
- mzlib/runtime-path => racket/runtime-path
- mzlib/shared => racket/shared
- mzlib/unit => racket/unit
- mzlib/unit-exptime => racket/unit-exptime
- mzlib/zip => file/zip
The old modules in mzlib are now pointers to the
new modules. These are all modules that were already
redirected in the documentation.
