This adds a tag to DrRacket File menu docs. It adds two margin notes
to the quick start, one linking to the essentials for using DrRacket,
and the other for saving Definitions.
Addresses PR 9501.
These additions could create backward-compatibility problems, but our
searches suggest that problems will be rare; it's more common for
`_size_t' to be incorrectly aliased to `_int', so having definitions
for these standard types is likely to avoid future problems.
A part with style property 'toc-hidden no longer
hides child sections, which makes it consistent with Latex/PDF
rendering.
A part with style 'grouper and 'unnumbered does not make its
child parts render as more nested, which is consistent with
'gruper without 'unnumbered. An unnumbered grouper is represented
as "" in a section-number list (while #f is still used for
unnumbered non-grouper layers).
Includes a repair for floating-point `min' and `max' that affects all
x86 builds that use SSE arithmetic, leaving the (otherwise unused)
floating-point stack in a bad state, which might have affected
x87-using C/foreign libraries running alongside Racket.
wrap/handle-evt that receives multiple values must have a handler function with adequate arity.
struct.c:
change contract for wrap/handle-evt from (any/c -> any) to procedure?
thread.c:
adjust sync processing
sync.rktl:
add test for handle-evt, wrap-evt and prop:evt
Also, some cleanups of the code and
make the syntax-color/ library docs
point to color:text<%> instead of
color:text% (as the interesting information
is attached to the interface, not the class)
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).
This guarantees that patterns like (? pred pat) will
always check `pred` before matching any of `pat`.
However, `and` patterns are not required to match left-
to-right.
The `+m' flag is a long-overdue shorthand for `++xref-in setup/xref
load-collections-xref', which links to installed documentation in
the same way as DrRacket's "Scribble HTML" button.
That is, use `+m' to link to installed documentation,
scribble +m mine.scrbl
instead of the previously recommended
scribble ++xref-in setup/xref load-collections-xref mine.scrbl
Merge to 5.3.2
There appears to be no way to make `on-demand' work right for the
Unity window manager's global menu bar, since there's no notificiation
when the menu bar is clicked. We approximate the correct behavior
by calling `on-demand' when a containing frame loses the keyboard
focus, which might be because the menu bar was clicked; that may be
too late (because the menu has already been shown), but it should
work most of the time.
Closes PR 13347.
Relevant to PR 13395, but DrRacket will have to change to work
around the remaining limitations of `on-demand'.
The synchronization result of a log receiver is now a vector of four
values, instead of three, where the last one reports the name.
Also, an optional argument to `make-logger' provides a notification
callback for each event sent to the logger.
These changes enable more control over loggers and events. Suppose
that you have processes A and B, and you want all log events of A
to be visible to B, but not vice-versa. Furthermore, you want the
log events to appear at B in the right order: if A logs an event
before B, then A's event should arrive at a log receiver's before
B's. Now that a log receiver gets the name associated with the
original event, and now that the name can be re-sent in a
`log-receiver', it's possible to give A and B separate loggers and
send all of the events from A's logger to B's logger. Furthermore,
you can use the notification callback so that when an event is logged
in B, you can make sure that all available events from from A's
logger have been transferred to B's logger.
One drawback to the current situation (after this commit) is that all
log messages are sent into the user's logger, even messages that come
about as part of DrRacket's implementation. It isn't clear how to fix
this without enumerating all of the possible messages to share and
explicitly forwarding them (both of which are suboptimal things).
On the plus side, the GUI now uses the "debug@GC" notation in a text
field, and when the logger pane is not open, there is no extra work
going on. Plus other, minor GUI improvements.
Put the details consistently with event datatypes, instead
of trying to put them all in `sync', which better reflects
the extensibility of the set of synchronizable events.
A phantom byte string is a small object that the memory
manager treats as an arbitrary-sized object, where the
size is specified when the phantom byte string is created
or or when size is changed via `set-phantom-bytes!'.
Keep track of whether any Racket-managed subprocesses are pending,
and use waitpid(0, ...) only if there is one, to better cooperate
with an embedding environment.
Also, add a chapter to the "Inside" manual to explain the issues.
