In non-cross mode, `-C` needs to go after `-G` and `-X` when setting
up a "bundle" directory to turn into an installer, because that mode
needs to use foreign libraries (such as SQLite) at build time, and it
can use the instances that are being set up for the installer.
Meanwhile, improve the advice for setting `PLAIN_RACKET` to use `-C`
for a cross-platform build mode, even though things tend to work
anyway without it.
Detangle the target and host DLL and library directories by
making `get-lib-search-dirs` and `get-dll-dir` report the
host system's directories, and add `get-cross-lib-search-dirs`
and `get-cross-dll-dir`.
A new `-C`/`--cross` flag causes `racket` to save a host config and
collection directory and make them available via `(find-system-path
'host-{config,collects}-dir)`, while plus `(system-type 'cross)`
reports whether `-C` mode is in effect. Besides making the host paths
available, this change allows a same-platform build to run in
corss-platform mode.
The immediate problem to solve was the creation of Windows installers
on Windows, where recent changes to support 'gui-bin-dir configuration
need a clear distinction between the host Racket and the target Racket
being built, even if they're the same platform. (The "GRacket.exe"
executable didn't work, for example.)
The changes in this commit are more than needed for the immediate
problem, but they naturally build on the necessary `-C` flag, and they
support cross-platform package setup where native libraries are needed
during setup.
Make `log` in `racket/base` optionally accept a second argument.
The second argument is the log `base`. The docs also recommend
`fllogb` when precision is important.
* Error message when base is 1
* Added docs.
* Add tests.
Remove the history annotation on `build-flat-contract` property
about removing the `#:exercise` keyword.
Because the keyword wasn't actually removed from the function,
only from the (incorrect) documentation. So there aren't any
legal programs that depend on the removed keyword argument.
The previous for/fold/derived examples in the docs
incorrectly expanded, placing the entire body of the
user defined for loop into a let expression inside of
for/fold/derived. This meant that break clauses (i.e. #:break
or #:final) that appeared in the body of the user-defined
for loop were not visible to the underlying for/fold/derived
macro after expansion and therefore usages of #:break or #:final
incorrectly resulted in syntax errors (since with the incorrect
expansion, they were seemingly misplaced keywords inside of a let).
With this PR the for/fold/derived examples in the docs now
expand correctly into a form that mirrors the actual
expected syntax of for loops:
(user-defined-for (for-clause ...) body-or-break ... body)
==(now expands more or less into)==>
(for/fold/derived (for-clause ...) body-or-break ... body)
Or in other words, the body of the user defined for loop now correctly
expands directly into the body of for/fold/derived.
Allow the directory for GUI executables to be specified as different
from console executables. The defaults for those two are different
on Mac OS, and configuring them differently might be useful to
address #1575.
Although there is probably no demand on Windows or Unix for splitting
the console and GUI bin directories, this patch tries to make things
work sensible there. On Windows, there's a corner case where a
launcher that starts GRacket (especially with `-z`) is intended to be
a console executable. The launcher creator can be told that via a
`subsystem` option, but a new `#:console?` argument was needed for
`make-gracket-launcher-path` lets the path selector know.
Support an external implementation of `read-syntax` by exposing
functionality that is currently internal to `read-syntax`: a srcloc
argument to a "special"-producing port function and wrapping special
results to reliably distinguish them from characters.
I originally picked "under" as the preposition to go before
a platform name, but obviously you should build "on" a
platform, and "under" suddenly annoys me. The choice of "on"
is now codified in the documentation style guide. Meanwhile,
"Unix" insted of "X" seems more clear and consistent in the
`racket/gui' docs.
More usefully, this patch also fixes a few out-of-date
platform-specific claims.

Although "macOS" is the correct name for Apple's current desktop OS,
we've decided to go with "Mac OS" to cover all of Apple's Unix-like
desktop OS versions. The label "Mac OS" is more readable, clear in
context (i.e., unlikely to be confused with the Mac OSes that
proceeded Mac OS X), and as likely to match Apple's future OS names
as anything.
Adjust list and stream handling as sequences so that during the body
(for ([i (in-list l)])
....)
then `i` and its cons cell in `l` are not implicitly retained while
the body is evaluated. A `for .... in-stream` similarly avoids
retaining the stream whose head is being used in the loop body.
The `map`, `for-each`, `andmap`, and `ormap` functions are similarly
updated.
The `make-do-sequence` protocol allows an optional extra result so
that new sequence types could have the same properties. It's not clear
that using `make-do-sequence` is any more useful than creating the new
sequence as a stream, but it was easier to expose the new
functionality than to hide it.
Making this work required a repair to the optimizer, which would
incorrectly move an `if` expression in a way that could affect
space complexity, as well as a few repairs to the run-time system
(especially in the vicinity of the built-in `map`, which we should
just get rid of eventually, anyway).
