exposed the default-library-search-handler and a library-search-handler
parameter to permit more control over the search for libraries during
import, compile-whole-library, and compile-whole-program

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.
ftype.ss, cp0.ss, cmacros.ss, cpnanopass.ss, prims.ss, primdata.ss,
gc.c,
4.ms, root-experr*
- 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 an issue with the library system where an exception that occurs
during visit or revisit left the library in an inconsistent state that
caused it to appear that it was still in the process of running. This
manifested in it raising a cyclic dependency exception, even though
there really is not a cyclic dependency. The various library
management functions involved will now reset the part of the library
when an exception occurs. This also means that if the library visit
or revisit failed for a transient reason (such as a missing or
incorrect library version that can be fixed by updating the
library-directories) it is now possible to recover from these errors.

original commit: 19e2505fc6477fce2d1d0e61187bd504b58ea994
procedures with large numbers of variables:
- added pass-time tracking for pre-cpnanopass passes to compile.
compile.ss
- added inline handler for fxdiv-and-mod
cp0.ss, primdata.ss
- changed order in which return-point operations are done (adjust
sfp first, then store return values, then restore local saves) to
avoid storing return values to homes beyond the end of the stack
in cases where adjusting sfp might result in a call to dooverflood.
cpnanopass.ss, np-languages.ss
- removed unused {make-,}asm-return-registers bindings
cpnanopass.ss
- corrected the max-fv value field of the lambda produced by the
hand-coded bytevector=? handler.
cpnanopass.ss
- reduced live-pointer and inspector free-variable mask computation
overhead
cpnanopass.ss
- moved regvec cset copies to driver so they aren't copied each
time a uvar is assigned to a register. removed checks for
missing register csets, since registers always have csets.
cpnanopass.ss
- added closure-rep else clause in record-inspector-information!.
cpnanopass.ss
- augmented tree representation with a constant representation
for full trees to reduce the overhead of manipulating trees or
subtress with all bits set.
cpnanopass.ss
- tree-for-each now takes start and end offsets; this cuts the
cost of traversing and applying the action when the range of
applicable offsets is other than 0..tree-size.
cpnanopass.ss
- introduced the notion of poison variables to reduce the cost of
register/frame allocation for procedures with large sets of local
variables. When the number of local variables exceeds a given
limit (currently hardwired to 1000), each variable with a large
live range is considered poison. A reasonable set of variables
with large live ranges (the set of poison variables) is computed
by successive approximation to avoid excessive overhead. Poison
variables directly conflict with all spillables, and all non-poison
spillables indirectly conflict with all poison spillables through
a shared poison-cset. Thus poison variables cannot live in the
same location as any other variable, i.e., they poison the location.
Conflicts between frame locations and poison variables are handled
normally, which allows poison variables to be assigned to
move-related frame homes. Poison variables are spilled prior to
register allocation, so conflicts between registers and poison
variables are not represented. move relations between poison
variables and frame variables are recorded as usual, but other
move relations involving poison variables are not recorded.
cpnanopass.ss, np-languages.ss
- changed the way a uvar's degree is decremented by remove-victim!.
instead of checking for a conflict between each pair of victim
and keeper and decrementing when the conflict is found, remove-victim!
now decrements the degree of each var in each victim's conflict
set. while this might decrement other victims' degrees unnecessarily,
it can be much less expensive when large numbers of variables are
involved, since the number of conflicts between two non-poison
variables should be small due to the selection process for
(non-)poison variables and the fact that the unspillables introduced
by instruction selection should also have few conflicts. That
is, it reduces the worst-case complexity of decrementing degrees
from O(n^2) to O(n).
cpnanopass.ss
- took advice in compute-degree! comment to increment the uvars in
each registers csets rather than looping over the registers for
each uvar asking whether the register conflicts with the uvar.
cpnanopass.ss
- assign-new-frame! now zeros out save-weight for local saves, since
once they are explicitly saved and restored, they are no longer
call-live and thus have no save cost.
cpnanopass.ss
- desensitized the let-values source-caching timing test slightly
8.ms
- updated allx, bullyx patches
patch*
original commit: 3a49d0193ae57b8e31ec6a00b5b49db31a52373f
Add optional beginning-line and beginning-column components to a
source object, so that line and column information can be recorded
independent of the file. Add `locate-source-object-source` to use
the recorded information. Add a cache for `locate-source` as enabled by
the `use-cache?` optional argument, which can avoid compilation times
that are quadratic in the number of `let-values` or `define-values`
forms.
