RE: [racket-users] garbage collection

One thing to note, though, is that collectors like Boehm do support marking regions of memory as not containing pointers. IIRC, Boehm is actually quite performant, ignoring the fact that it might leak (and usually leaks for functional languages) - it's generational and incremental. The Unity gam

-output-to-file line to see if the drracket:indentation branch is ever executed, but apparently it isn't. How does Scribble manage to get DrRacket to indent it in a non-sexp way? Thanks!Yuhao Dong -- You received this message because you are subscribe

This doesn't work unless program.rkt is written in #lang racket/load which is unsuitable for large applications. On Sat, 2014-03-29 at 15:17 +0400, Roman Klochkov wrote: > I think, something like (thread (load "path/to/program.rkt")) > > > Fri, 28 Mar 2014 1

Re: [racket] Tail recursive module cons

timing numbers say so. Of course, the memory consumption may be larger with the non-tail version, as I suppose each continuation frame contains more information than a number. On Sat, 2014-03-29 at 08:06 -0400, Prabhakar Ragde wrote: > Yuhao Dong wrote: > > > The thing is, Racket's &qu

Re: [racket] Tail recursive module cons

Using accumulator+reverse won't really improve the runtime at all. The thing is, Racket's "stack" is a list of continuations. I don't see how explicitly keeping the "stack" in an accumulator would help. Stack overflow won't be a problem since the "stack" is a list on the heap, and unless memory ru

[racket] Saving memory by sharing a racket VM instance?

So, I have a really, really cheap VPS. I need to run several racket programs on it; however, just the memory usage of the standard library, jit, etc of each racket instance means that I can't concurrently run more than one racket process without running out of memory. Is there any way I could prog

Re: [racket] Y combinator

I can answer your last question: this operation (converting to CSP) is almost never done manually. Many compilers/interpreters do this operation before compiling/interpreting, including IIRC Racket; note that by converting to CSP you eliminate non-tail recursion altogether and replace it by an ad-h
