9.4 changes: - updated version to 9.4 bintar README NOTICE makefiles/Mf-install.in scheme.1.in c/Makefile.i3nt c/Makefile.a6nt c/Makefile.ti3nt c/Makefile.ta6nt mats/bldnt.bat workarea c/scheme.rc s/7.ss s/cmacros.ss release_notes/release_notes.stex csug/csug.stex - added missing include killme.c - added new mat verifying that primitives raise exceptions for invalid arguments based on primdata.ss signatures. fixed some of those signatures, which weren't otherwise used except for arity checking. fixed some issues turned up by the test with who reports errors and how. primdata.ss, 5_1.ss, 7.ss, compile.ss, cpnanopass.ss, fasl.ss, interpret.ss, io.ss, record.ss, syntax.ss, primvars.ms, 5_1.ms, 7.ms, 8.ms, record.ms, mats/Mf-base, root-experr*, patch* - string comparisons (string=?, string-cidate test in mat time&date-printing to work regardless of what locale (and time zone) the host machine has set. date.ms - fixed date->time-utc to honor the zone-offset field when converting a date object to a time-utc object. stats.c, date.ms - fixed incorrect handling of library-extension when searching wpo files compile.ss, 7.ms - modified floatify_normalize to properly round denormalized results. obviated scale_float in the process. number.c, ieee.ms - fixed 0eNNNN for large NNNN to produce 0.0 rather than infinity strnum.ss, 5_3.ms - the reader now raises an exception with condition type implementation restriction (among the other usual lexical condition types), and string->number now raises #f, for #e@, where and are nonzero integers, since Chez Scheme can't represent polar numbers other than 0@ and @0 exactly. @ still produces an inexact result, i.e., we're still extending the set of inexact numeric constants beyond what R6RS dictates. doing this required a rework of $str->num, which turned into a fairly extensive rewrite that fixed up a few other minor issues (like r6rs:string->number improperly allowing 1/2e10) and eliminated the need for consumers to call $str->num twice in cases where it can actually produce a number. added some related new tests, including several found missing by profiling. added a couple of checks to number->string the absence of which was causing argument errors to be reported by other routines. strnum.ss, exceptions.ss, read.ss 5_3.ms, 6.ms, root-experr*, patch* - added pdtml flag, which if set to t causes profile-dump-html to be called at the end of a mat run. mats/Mf-base - compile-whole-program and compile-whole-library now copy the hash-bang line from the wpo file (if it has one) to the object file. compile.ss, 7.ms - stex is now a submodule. csug/Makefile and release_notes/Makefile set and use the required Scheme and STEXLIB variables accordingly. they default the machine type to a6le, but this can be overridden and is by the generated top-level Makefile. the generated top-level Makefile now has a new docs target that runs make in both csug and release_notes, and an updated distclean target that cleans the same. the annoying csug Makefile .fig.pdf rule redefinition is now gone. copyright.stex and csug.stex now list May 2016 as the revision month and date; this will have to be updated for future releases. configure, makefiles/Makefile.in, csug/Makefile, copyright.stex, csug.stex, release_notes/Makefile - added custom install options. workarea creates an empty config.h, and configure creates a config.h that sets the default scheme heap path and scheme-script name based on the actual configuration. configure, newrelease, workarea, checkin, c/Mf-base, scheme.c, main.c, Mf-install.in - renamed the installed example directory from lib to examples. Mf-install.in, scheme.1.in - added force option to gzip during man page install to prevent gzip from asking for permission to overwrite existing man page files. Mf-install.in - removed ~/lib/csv%v/%m from the default scheme heap path on unix-like systems. documented inclusion of %x\..\..\boot\%m in the Windows default scheme heap path. main.c, use.stex - added new configuration options: --installbin, --installlib, --installschemename, --installpetitename, and --installscriptname. configure - updated the example library link to the nanopass framework. CONTRIBUTING.md - now cleaning up petite.1 and scheme.1 left behind by make install Makefile-workarea.in, checkin - now removing workarea after cleaning csug and release_notes so Mf-stex (included from csug/Makefile and release_notes/Makefile) doesn't complain trying to determine the machine type. Makefile.in - added installsh support for --ifdiff so the csug make file can use it for the install target. installsh, csug/Makefile - added instructions for building (cross-compiling) a boot file for a supported machine type for which a boot file is not built by default. BUILDING - corrected CHEZSCHEMELIBS and CHEZSCHEMEEXTS index entries to be CHEZSCHEMELIBDIRS and CHEZSCHEMELIBEXTS. use.stex - updated to curl stex version 1.2.1 configure - updated the fix to S_mktime to work on windows. the struct tm structure on windows does not have the tm_gmtoff field used in the mac and linux version of the code. stats.c - updated the Windows makefiles for building and testing to remove links for files that no longer exist, which was getting in the way of creating links for files that do exist. Also updated the build batch file for Windows to compile the nanopass framework separately before building the rest of the scheme compiler and libraries. s/Mf-{a6,i3,ta6,ti3}nt, s/bldnt.bat, mats/Mf-{a6,i3,ta6,ti3}nt - updated the read me to include a link to the Chez Scheme project page. README.md - fixed embarrassing typo in read me. README.md - profiler's html output refresh: mark the files as HTML5 rather than HTML4; use target attributes rather than onclick events to open links in specific windows; add a missing table row element; replace the deprecated name attribute with an id attribute (and replace the anchors with spans); and replace the deprecated valign attribute with a style attribute. pdhtml.ss 9.4.1 changes: - updated version to 9.4.1 bintar BUILDING NOTICE makefiles/Mf-install.in scheme.1.in c/Makefile.i3nt c/Makefile.a6nt c/Makefile.ti3nt c/Makefile.ta6nt mats/bldnt.bat workarea c/scheme.rc s/7.ss s/cmacros.ss release_notes/release_notes.stex csug/csug.stex - updated newrelease to produce the correct log-entry format and fixed the existing 9.4.1 log entry newrelease, LOG - replaced a couple of tabs number.c - updated the descriptions of statistics and related functions to reflect the Version 9.3.1 change from sstats structures to sstats records, with sstats times represented as time objects and sstats bytes and counts represented as exact integers; also updated the sstats-difference description to reflect that it no longer coerces negative differences to zero. added a corresponding release note. system.stex, release_notes.stex - added a cast to eliminate a warning c/number.c - fixed bug in Windows version of directory-separator-predicate when path-* procedures are passed a path that is not a string. s/6.ss - fixed bug in cp0 on Windows with $foreign-wchar?. s/cp0.ss - Cygwin is now used on Windows, updated mats, eliminated unused killme BUILDING c/*nt c/Mf-base c/scheme.exe.manifest configure examples/Makefile mats/6.ms mats/Mf-* mats/foreign.ms mats/ftype.ms mats/patch-* mats/windows.ms s/Mf-*nt s/Mf-base workarea release_notes.stex - fixed spelling of non-existent s/syntax.ss - now forcing zlib configuration before compiling files that depend on the zlib header files, since zlib's configure script can modify the header files. removed ZlibInclude variable, which no longer serves a purpose. c/Mf-*, c/Makefile.*nt - removed unnecessary datestamp.c target c/Mf.*nt - fixed unnessesary blocking in expeditor on Windows. c/expeditor.c - eliminated a couple of thread-safety issues and limitations on the sizes of pathnames produced by expansion of tilde (home-directory) prefixes by replacing S_pathname, S_pathname_impl, and S_homedir with S_malloc_pathname, which always mallocs space for the result. one thread-safety issue involved the use of static strings for expanded pathnames and affected various file-system operations. the other affected the file open routines and involved use of the incoming pathname while deactivated. the incoming pathname is sometimes if not always a pointer into a Scheme bytevector, which can be overwritten if a collection occurs while the thread is deactivated. the size limitation corresponded to the use of the static strings, which were limited to PATH_MAX bytes. (PATH_MAX typically isn't actually the maximum path length in contemporary operating systems.) eliminated similar issues for wide pathnames under Windows by adding S_malloc_wide_pathname. consumers of the old routines have been modified to use the new routines and to free the result strings. the various file operations now consistently treat a pathname with an unresolvable home directory as a pathname that happens to start with a tilde. eliminated unused foreign-symbol binding of "(cs)pathname" to S_pathname. io.c, externs.h, new_io.c, prim5.c, scheme.c, prim.c - various places where a call to close or gzclose was retried when the close operation was interrupted no longer do so, since this can cause problems when another thread has reallocated the same file descriptor. new_io.c - now using vcvarsall type x86_amd64 rather than amd64 when the former appears to supported and the latter does not, as is the case with VS Express 2015. c/Mf-a6nt, c/Mf-ta6nt - commented out one of the thread mats that consistently causes indefinite delays under Windows and OpenBSD due to starvation. thread.ms - increased wait time for a couple of subprocess responses 6.ms - added call to collector to close files opened during iconv mats specifically for when mats are run under Windows with no iconv dll. io.ms - fixed typo: VC/bin/vcvars64.bat => VC/bin/amd64/vcvars64.bat c/Mf-a6nt, c/Mf-ta6nt - scheme_mutex_t now uses volatile keyword for owner and count fields because these fields can be accessed from multiple threads concurrently. Updated $yield and $thread-check in mats/thread.ms to be more tolerant of timing variability. c/types.h, mats/thread.ms, release_notes.stex
