to gc:cons and gc:closure instead of passing locs This enables the important change, namely that get-root-set no longer returns roots corresponding to the arguments of the allocation function that we're in the middle of. This means that a common error students have (forgetting to chase the 'hd' and 'tl' pointers in their GC) is harder to make now, since get-root-set never contains those locations as roots. (In the past you would have had to write some pretty non-obvious mutator program to get that behavior.) |

The Racket Programming Language =============================== Instructions for building Racket from source are in src/README. The main executables in this package: * DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!). * racket: command-line tool for running Racket programs. * raco: command-line tool for compilation, documentation, and more. More Information ---------------- For Racket documentation, use DrRacket's `Help' menu, run the `Racket Documentation' application (Windows or Mac OS X), or run `raco docs' from a command line.
