Mostly for amusement, including the contrast between
the benefits of closure compilation for a host interpreter
versus the benefits for a host compiler.
The old implementation could cause deadlock by blocking on a semaphore
while waiting for the original place to run a callback, but a master
GC might be needed (and the blocked place wouldn't get the signal).
Beside fixing that problem, a potential memory leak is fixed in
calling an ffi funcition and having a Racket->C unmarshaling fail.
Also, the GC marking routine for a `place' value didn't reference the
place's underlying `place_obj' value.
The eopl language is now racket-based rather than mzscheme-based. This
test-suite, which was originally distributed on the book's web-site has
been re-written in the new language. Changes include dropping all
drscheme-init.scm and top.scm files. Remaining files were renamed to
use the .rkt extension and edited to use the #lang syntax (instead of
modulue). Require and provide forms were changed to reflect racket's
syntax instead of mzscheme's (eg, only-in vs. only). Several
occurrences of one-armed ifs were changed to use when and unless. All
tests have been run successfully.
The bug is triggered by unsafe flonum operations, a
conversion that tries to make the arguments more unboxable,
and a `lambda' form within an argument to the unsafe
operation.
Closes PR 12587
The `or' and `and' functions already worked correctly; this
fix is for `or' and `and' as applied directly to arguments, which
expands to the `racket/base' `or' and `and' forms.
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.
