Shape information allows the linker to check the importing
module's compile-time expectation against the run-time
value of its imports. The JIT, in turn, can rely on that
checking to better inline structure-type predicates, etc.,
and to more directy call JIT-generated code across
module boundaries.
In addition to checking the "shape" of an import, the import's
JITted vs. non-JITted state must be consistent. To prevent shifts
in JIT state, the `eval-jit-enabled' parameter is now restricted
in its effect to top-level bindings.
Updated example for for/digits to avoid confusion: it's not clear
otherwise that the intentional syntax error wasn't just a casual
mistake.
Added an example for sequence-add-between.
so that it waits until online check syntax actually
finishes (otherwise, there actually is a leak;
the link is broken when the message comes back from the
other place)
This tracking allows the compiler to treat structure sub-type
declarations as generating constant results, and it also allows
the compiler to recognize an applications of a constructor or
predicate as functional.
The JIT takes advantage of known-constant bindings to avoid the
check that a variable is still bound to a structure predicate,
selector, or mutator; that makes the code short enough to really
inline. The inlined version takes about half the time of the
indirect version.
The compiler does not yet track bindings precisely enough to
recognize constants for sub-type declarations.
- lets other events be handled based on how long it has been
replaying the current trace (instead of based on the number of
pieces in the trace that have been seen)
- breaks up the syncheck:add-rename-menu pieces of the trace to
be more granular (to make the previous point work better)
This should make DrRacket more responsive when the trace is being
replayed
This fixes several issues:
- `Parameter` generates impersonator contracts correctly
- `Any` handling now copies immutable data when possible
- `Any` now recognizes more atomic base types
