added fix for whole program/library compilation bug with help from
@owaddell who originally reported the problem in issue 386. this bug
arises from the way the parts of the combined library, and their
binary dependencies, are invoked when one of the constituent libraries
is invoked. consider, for example, a combined library that contains
(A) and (B), where (B) depends on a binary library (C). depending on
the sort order of (A) and (B), which may be unconstrained in the
partial ordering established by library dependencies, invoking (A) may
result in the invoke code for (B) being run first, without (B) ever
being explicitly invoked. this can result in bindings required from
(C) by the invoke code in (B) to be unbound. even in the case where
(A) comes before (B) in the topological sort, if they are combined
into the same cluster, (B)'s invoke code will be run as part of
invoking (A). the solution is two part: first we extend the invoke
requirements of the first library in the cluster to include the binary
libraries that precede it in the topological sort and add a dependency
on the first library in the cluster to all of the other libraries in
the cluster. this means no matter which library in the cluster is
invoked first, it will cause the first library to be invoked, in turn
ensuring the binary libraries that precede it are invoked. when there
are multiple clusters, a dependency is added from each cluster to the
first library in the cluster that precedes it. this ensures that
invoking a library in a later cluster first, will still cause all of
the dependencies of the previous clusters to be invoked. ultimately,
these extra dependencies enforce an ordering on the invocation of the
source and binary libraries that matches the topological sort, even if
the topological sort was under constrained. to maintain the property
that import requirements are a superset of the invoke and visit
requirements, we also extend the import requirements to include the
extended invoke requirements. the import requirements are also added
to the dependency graph to further constrain the topological sort and
ensure that we do not introduce artificial cycles in the import graph.

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.

- 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
- 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,
gc.c,
7.ms
- committing updated boot/*/equates.h (without the boot files, which are
still usable for bootstrapping)
boot/*/*.h
- updated release notes
release_notes.stex
original commit: 71d3abba684e04b134720ea1bd9a8c847c38ac5f
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
Libraries incorporated via compile-whole-program are, by default,
not visible to environment or eval, unless libs-visible? is true;
complain if we try to visit such libraries.
original commit: 220dca39d0cb482a1cff3f31b8a3197f8b5ee1bc
compilation now treat a malformed object file as if it were
not present and needs to be regenerated. A malformed object
file (particularly a truncated one) might occur if the compiling
processes is killed or aborts before it has a chance to delete
a partial object file.

original commit: c2cb8c79a925c0eb2f9d589e3a497712800bd1dc
that calls the current value of base-exception-handler so the handler
can be overridden, as we do in our own make files.

line from the wpo file (if it has one) to the object file.

- stex is now a submodule. csug/Makefile and release_notes/Makefile
set and use the required Scheme and STEXLIB variables accordingly.
they default the machine type to a6le, but this can be overridden
and is by the generated top-level Makefile. the generated top-level
Makefile now has a new docs target that runs make in both csug and
release_notes, and an updated distclean target that cleans the same.
the annoying csug Makefile .fig.pdf rule redefinition is now gone.
copyright.stex and csug.stex now list May 2016 as the revision month
and date; this will have to be updated for future releases.
configure, makefiles/Makefile.in,
csug/Makefile, copyright.stex, csug.stex,
release_notes/Makefile
- rebuilt the boot files
