I'm trying to attack PR-13350, which is the busy-polling bug involving readline.
The closest I've got so far is:
https://github.com/dyoo/racket/tree/pr-13350
When I run the small test program:
#######
$ cat test.rkt
#lang racket/base
(require readline/mzrl)
(list (readline-bytes #">>> ")
(readline "... "))
#######
Everything is happy: CPU usage is close to zero, and the program
appears to do the right thing:
#######
$ ~/local/racket/bin/racket test.rkt
>>> hello
... world
'(#"hello" "world")
#######
However, when I try using this in the larger context of xrepl, I've
found that I've completely broken it.
#######
$ ~/local/racket/bin/racket
Welcome to Racket v5.3.3.1.
> (require xrepl)
-> hello
-> world
-> help
#######
where the repl isn't paying attention at all. There is something
crucial that I don't understand, but I've stared at this too long.
I'm completely baffled at the moment.
