when it compiles required files
Now that this is fixed, the compilation manager will be (once again)
active when doing online compilation, so if the "Populate compiled
directories" checkbox is check (which it is by default) in the details
section of the language dialog, then online compilation will, as it
compiles your file, write out .zo files that will also be used by the
Run button.
The actual fix to this bug is the change in expanding-place.rkt (and
all it really does is move the setting of the
current-load/use-compiled and current-load parameters earlier so that
CM sees only the modified parameter settings and so doesn't give up on
compilation.
The rest of the changes are a test case (and change to drracket to
support the test case)
to gc:cons and gc:closure instead of passing locs
This enables the important change, namely that get-root-set
no longer returns roots corresponding to the arguments
of the allocation function that we're in the middle of.
This means that a common error students have (forgetting
to chase the 'hd' and 'tl' pointers in their GC) is
harder to make now, since get-root-set never contains
those locations as roots. (In the past you would have had
to write some pretty non-obvious mutator program to get
that behavior.)
* See comment about implementation issues.
* Removed the `list?' requirement on `takef' etc -- so it matches the
non-*f versions. (IMO, it'd be better to drop it from all of them.)
This also changes the output of `dropf' to `any/c'.
* Swapped the argument order so the predicate is last -- this makes it
uniform with the non-f* versions. (IMO, it'b be better to use the
popular order in all of them instead.)
* Includes tests, and also improved version of previous tests.
* Includes docs, and also fixes to previous docs (eg, drop* doesn't
return a fresh list).
There's still a function application (here, a thunk) lurking in
external accesses, but since that's a trade-off for an entire contract
application, we profit.
This pushes almost all uses of check below into tc-expr and
tc-expr/check. This means that the optimizer sees more precise types
and can make more optimizations.
Using an impersonator property to represent an application mark was
a bad choice. The property gets propagated, so it is also on any later
chaperone layer, and then things go bad: the docs say that special
treatment is triggered by supplying an argument to `impersonate-property',
but it was actually triggered by the chaperone having the property.
Change the implementation to match the documentation. Using an
impersonator property to supply the mark should be regarded as a hack,
but now the implementaiton is at least consistent with the documentaiton.
