This change adjusts the way that trust is threaded through bytecode
and the code inspector. In Racket v6.x, reading bytecode would fail if
the code inspector is non-original and if the bytecode contains a
reference to an unsafe operation. Now, reading bytecode doesn't fail
for that reason, but all bytecode is marked as non-runnable (even
without references to unsafe operations) when loaded under a
non-original code inspector. A `read` operation by itself remains as
safe as ever.
This commit also disables the bytecode validator. For now, the
validate can be re-enabled with `PLT_VALIDATE_LOAD`.
Make `s-exp->fasl` generate an encoding that can be parsed by any
future version of `fasl->s-exp`. The new format does not rely on the
runtime system's bytecode writer and reader.
Some built-in bytes-converter combinations that were not
supposed to require custodian registration were neveretheless
registered, which created a small leak for some programs.
Make the module path index for bindings in a `module->namespace` be a
"self" MPI (with #f for path and base), instead of the MPI associated
with bindings as view from the outside of the module instance. That
makes interactive evalaution in the namespace more closely approximate
expansion within the original module.
Example use: ASL detects a "self" MPI to determine when it should
allow assignment to module-defined variables in the REPL.
Use stdout log reporting instead of stderr log reporting for status
reporting during the build, so that the status report is not
misinterpreted as an error.
This change means that if a macro transformer calls expand (not
local-expand, but top-level expand), the macro debugger won't
receive the inner expand's events. Previously, the macro debugger
tried to parse and then discard the inner expand, but that was
brittle and complicated the grammar.
The old reader used an internal option to short-circuit special-value
reading when a special value acts as a terminating "character". Expose
that shortcut by allowing 'special as an argument to
`peek-{char,byte}-or-special`, and update the reader to use it.
