Track fixnum results in the same way as flonum results to enable
unboxing, if that turns out to be useful. The intent of the change,
though, is to support other types in the future, such as "extnums".
The output `raco decompile' no longer includes `#%in', `#%flonum',
etc., annotations, which are mostly obvious and difficult to
keep in sync with the implementation. A local-binding name now
reflects a known type, however.
The change includes a bug repair for he bytecode compiler that
is independent of the generalization (i.e., the new test case
triggered the old problem using flonums).
Bytecode changes in two small ways to help the validator:
* a cross-module variable reference preserves the compiler's
annotation on whether the reference is constant, fixed, or other
* lifted procedures now appear in the module body just before the
definitions that use them, instead of at the beginning of the
module body
Support for break clauses complicates expansion to `for/fold/derived';
a new `syntax/for-body' library provides a helper for macros that need
to split a `for'-style body into a prefix part and wrappable part.
The new parameter (and supporting environment variables and
command-line flags) can bytecode lookup to a tree other than
where a source file resides, so that sources and generated
compiled files can be kept separate. It also supports storing
bytecode files in a version-specific location (either with
the source or elsewhere).
The `make-log-receiver' function now includes a logger-name
filter. This filter is implemented as a low enough level that
it affects `log-level?' tests to check whether a log message
needs to be constructed at all.
The -W and -L flags and PLTSTDERR and PLTSYSLOG environment variables
support filters of the form "<level> <level>@<name> ...", where
<level>@<name> specializes filtering of events for a logger whose
name matches <name> to show <level> and higher.
The old `cast' didn't work right for a mismatch between
a pointer GCableness and the source or target types, and
it didn't work right for an GCable pointer with a non-zero
offset. While those pitfalls were documented, the first
of them definitely has been a source of bugs in code that
I wrote.
Also added `cpointer-gcable?'
When a module is loaded from bytecode and then the value of
`use-compiled-file-paths' changes, an attempt to load a submodule
would fail, because source isn't used if the main module is
already declared, and the bytecode code is not used according to
`use-compiled-file-paths'. Make the bytecode path stick when it
is used once, so that submodule loads succeed, and make it work
even with `namespace-module-attach'.
The module-attach part of this protocol requires a change to the
API of a module name resolver: the notification mode gets two
arguments, instead of one, where the second argument is an
environment.
The new names are `prompt-tag/c` and `continuation-mark-key/c`
to keep the names consistent with the values that are being
contracted. Also updated the HISTORY file.
Add a `#:nothing' argument so the no-value value can be
made explicit --- based on discussion with Eli, but pending
further review.
Also, renamed `#:first' to `#:before-first' and `#:last' to
`#:after-last' to be more clear, more parallel ro `#:before-last',
and avoid a collision with prominent function names.
For all currently supported platforms, the result was already
portable, despite the documentation's hedging.
Also fixed up the documentation in other ways, such as the fact
that `seconds->date' returns a `date*'.
Includes the addition of 'overflow and 'start-overflow-work
events, whcih are effectively specializations of 'sync and
'start-work to expose overflow handling.
Also, fix a bug related to a potential GC during mark-stack
restore from a lightweight continuation.
The new predicates are `progress-evt?' `thread-cell-values?',
`prefab-key?', `semaphore-peek-evt?', and `channel-put-evt?'.
These were used internally, and now they appear in contract
error messages.
A common Slideshow pattern is to put a subset of slides in its
own module with a `run-slides' function, and then you'd
(un)comment a `(run-slides)' call at the end of the module to
work on the subset by itself. Now, you can write
`(module+ main (run-slides))' atthe end of the module and not
have to comment it out. Adding `main' support to the `slideshow'
executable makes it more consistent with using `racket' directly.
Checking first for a `slideshow' submodule makes it possible
for `slideshow' and `racket' to do different things, in case
that's useful.
When supplying an accessor to redirect, either the corresponding field
must be accessible through the current inspector, or a mutator for
the same field must be redirected, too.
Stevie realized that we need this constraint; otherwise, impersonators
can implement mutator-like behavior even when the mutator is otherwise
secret.
Add `raise-argument-error', `raise-result-error', `raise-arguments-error',
and `raise-range-error'.
The old convention was designed for reporting on a single (sometimes very
long line). The new convention is
<name>: <short message>
<field>: <detail>
...
If <detail> is long or itself spans multiple lines, then it may
also use the form
<field>:
<detail>
where each line of <detail> is indented by 3 spaces.
Backtrace information is shown as a multi-line "context" field.
Also, use keywords for `make-pen' and `make-brush'.
Adding `make-pen' and `make-color' creates many conflicts among
teaching libraries, such as `2htdp/image'. These are easy to fix
up in the tree, but adding such obvious names to `racket/draw'
may create other compatibility problems, so we might have to reconsider
the names.
In consultation with Asumu.
The preserved path is exposed by a new `module-path-index-submodule'
function, and `module-path-index-join' now accepts an optional
submodule path.
Also, fixed a problem with `collapse-module-path-index' when
a module path indx is built on a resolved module path that
is a submodule path.
In addition to the main repair, `collapse-module-path[-index]' is
correctly documented to allow '(quote <sym>) rel-to paths.
Finally, `collapse-module-path-index' changed to use a symbolic
resolved module path that appears as the base of a module path
index, rather than falling back to the given rel-to path. It's
possble that the old beavior was intentional, but it wasn't tested,
and it seems more likely to have been a bug.

Previously, sandbox creation used `gui?', which is the result of
`gui-available?' at the time that `racket/sandbox' is instanited.
This change makes sandbox behavior less sensitive tothe order in
which modules `require'd into a program are intiantiated.
The change depends on a new `sandbox-make-namespace' default
function for `sandbox-namespace-specs'. The new function uses
either `make-base-namespace' or `make-gui-namespace', depending
on whether the GUI library is available at that point.
A new `sandbox-gui-enabled' parameter can disable use of the
GUI library even if it is available.
The `gui?' binding is still exported for backward compatibility,
but it shouldn't be used anymore.
Treat a "face" as a font description only if it has a comma,
otherwise go back to treating it as a family name.
This change fixes the problem of parsing "Times New Roman"
as "Times New, Roman".
The ActiveX part of MysterX is gone. The `ffi/com' re-imeplemtnation
provides only core COM support.
The "mysssink" DLL is still needed, and its source is still
in the tree, but it is downloaded in the same way as other
pre-built DLLs. The DLL no longer needs to be registered with
regsvr32.
Extend `define-cstruct' to support #:property specs, which causes
the constructor and C->Racket coercsions to wrap the pointer in
a structure instance with the specified properties. Of course,
the wrapper structure has a `prop:cpointer' property so that the
wrapper can be used transparently as a C pointer.
Add missing tests and documentation for the id`->list', `list->'id,
id`->list*', and `list*->'id bindings created by `define-cstruct'.
In particular, allow a pair of a relative-to directory and a base
directory. Paths that syntactically extend the base directory are
recorded as relative to the relative-to directory (which must
syntactically extend the base directory).
The compilation manager now sets the parameter to a pair with
the base directory as the main collection directory, if the source
file's path extends that directory's path.
This generalization solves problems created by cross-module inlining,
where the source location of a procedure in bytecode can now be in a
different file than the enclosing module's file.
Also add a test that checks whether the build directory shows up
in any ".zo", ".dep", or documentation ".html" files.
Closes PR 12549
Rename `read-intern-literal' to `datum-intern-literal'.
Interning is needed only in `read-syntax' or `datum->syntax' to
set up the invariants that the bytecode compiler needs for cross-module
optimization. When `read'ing numbers from a data file, meanwhile,
interning slows things down a lot and doesn't seem worthwhile.
More generally, support a
(define _id (begin 'compiler-hint:cross-module-inline _proc-expr))
hint, which is how the compiler determines that `map', etc., are
candidates for inlining.
Inline only trivial functions, such as `(empty? x)' -> `(null? x)',
to avoid generating too much code.
Bytecode includes a new `inline-variant' form, which records a
version of a function that is suitable for cross-module inlining.
Mostly, the variant let the run-time system to retain a copy
of the bytecode while JITting (and dropping the bytecode of)
the main variant, but it may be different from the main variant
in other ways that make it better for inlining (such a less loop
unrolling).
The `date*' structure type is an extension of `date' with
`nanosecond' and `time-zone-name' fields.
The `seconds->date' function now accepts a real and returns a
`date*'. The fractional part of its argument goes into the
`nanosecond' field.
Macros and other tools that need syntax privilege used
`(current-code-inspector)' at the module top-level to try to
capture the right code inspector at load time. It's more
consistent to instead use the enclosing module's declaration-time
inspector, and `var-ref->mod-decl-insp' provides that. The
new function works only on references to anonymous variables,
which limits access to the inspector.
The real function name is longer, of course.
