[racket-users] Ability to unload an ffi-lib?

Is it possible to unload an ffi-lib? I'm doing development on Windows where loading a DLL locks it and prevents the DLL from being recompiled. There was another post on this, but it was about 7 years old, so I thought I would see if anything has changed. Thanks, Chris -- You received this

This program works in 7.3, but not 7.4, which complains about the use of strings before it's definition. Swapping the order of valid-progs and strings fixes that, but the program then loops, although I don't understand why. On Thu, Sep 5, 2019 at 11:10 AM David Van Horn wrote: > > How about

How about this: a stream of strings which can be be parsed and compiled. (Note that this will loop when it gets to the first program that makes the compiler loop; luckily it's inefficient enough that you'll never actually get there.) #lang racket (define valid-progs (for/stream ([p strings]
