[racket] Text highlighting on Windows

2010-07-13 Thread George Horton
Are there any plans to fix text highlighting on Windows, please? (It's bug 9202/10166: in Racket 5.0 on Windows 7, highlighted text is poorly rendered whatever rendering settings in DrRacket or Windows are used.) As far as I can tell, this is the only thing making Racket unsuitable for desktop apps

OK mister smartypants. :) I set the limit back to 1024 MB. And ... it crashed again DrRacket again. Just like it did back when I decided to try setting it to "unlimited" in the first place, to avoid this happening. Seriously, is the idea that users are supposed to: [1] Understand the maximum me

The main obstacle was that operations like `raco make' and `raco setup' needed SHA-1 hashing from OpenSSL via the FFI. I've adjusted several things so that `make' and `make install' can work when the FFI is disabled: * A new `file/sha1' library ports Eric Knauel's implementation of SHA-1 to R

A couple more observations: [1] I'm spending a lot of time staring at the GC log scrolling by in DrRacket. I'm seeing many examples where the amount collected is negative. Ex: GC [minor] at 1028656788 bytes; 4636116 collected in 47 msec GC [minor] at 1025017408 bytes; -3872 collected in 15 msec G

Although it makes sense that a 32-bit pointer can address only 4 GB (virtual or physical, regardless). I agree it's odd that you get only 2 of the 4 GB address space for your app under Win64 and the other 2 is reserved for the system. Of course the clear way forward is to make a 64-bit app, I don't

I run DrRacket on Window 7 premium home and can go up to 2 Gb. (I have a dual core 32 bit processor, 4 Gb memory of which 3 Gb for applications) What amazes me is, that when setting memory unlimited, DrRacket can't go over 2 Gb. In stead, when passing this limit, DrRacket is aborted by windows 7. (

Thanks Matthew. This was Racket 5.0. I swore "unlimited" was set in DrRacket GUI. Maybe some bug where that was ignored? I'll check again but meanwhile I reverted temporarily to PLT Scheme 4.2.5. Another git bisect turned up a point where the behavior changed (before that I wasn't running out of m
