[racket] Bug report against current release?

2011-08-02 Thread Mason Loring Bliss
Is there any point to reporting a bug against the last release? My wife downloaded a nightly build on her Mac, and in the nightly build, she can paste pictures from HTDPv2 into DrRacket. With the release (MacOS Intel) the paste didn't work. I'm not sure what the status of the old release is once th

[racket] DrRacket online check syntax

I've just pushed an extension of DrRacket to support online check syntax that I demoed at RacketCon. (This will not be in the upcoming release by in the release 3 months from now.)

I sat down with Eli earlier and took a look at what was going on. It's quite perplexing. He did everything right to switch his background, but no matter what he clicked, the actual background wouldn't change. Eventually, by changing resolution, he was able to get it to a solid blue, but then he w

What do you do when two lists share a tail? Using your example: (define l (list 1 2 3 4 5)) [___gap12345] (cons 0 l)[___gap___012345] (cons 6 l)? With cons cells, sharing a tail is trivial, but with your scheme, it would require copying. (Unless you w

Oh sorry, I realize I was talking about two different things. I set up a test case that creates a color:text% and explicitly calls `start-colorer' with the pairs, style, and get-token things I defined, but for implementing a language I only have access to #:info. I think some new keys can be passe

[racket] Should immutable lists be implemented as over-allocated arrays?

2011-08-02 Thread Greg Hendershott
Should immutable lists be implemented as over-allocated arrays, instead of as linked lists? Seems like immutable lists don't need the pointer-like, linked-list semantics of mutable lists. Pros: 1. Contiguous items means better locality of reference (for various levels of cache, from CPU on up to

Ok the last mystery is how can I control the pair matching and colors that lexemes should have? If I call `start-colorer' on the color:text% I can pass in the style function and the list of matching lexemes but with the module-reader I only have control over the lexer via #:info. Currently I have
