 What version of Mac OS X and the C toolchain are you using?

 Mountain Lion, XCode 5.0.2, and this gcc:

 (LLVM build 2336.11.00)

So getting Xcode to re-install the command-line utils fixed the problem.
Sorry - I figured just installing Xcode would take care of that.

Thanks Asumu for making those fixes!

Asumu Takikawa as...@ccs.neu.edu writes:

 On 5.3.1, you'll have to add extra type instantiations in the tests
 or just remove the test files.

I was also e-mailing Sam about this, so some wires got crossed: Sam,
Asumu's fixes make the build go through now.

Sam also asked about the REPL output:

 (queue 1 2 3)
- : (Queue Any)
#Queue

I gather that in earlier versions of Racket, I'd get (Queue
Positive-Byte) or something similar.  Is

(ann (queue 1 2 3) (Queue Integer))

the right fix for this?  It seems awfully awkward.

 Printing in the Stepper is broken yet again.  (I get backquote printing
 for the DMdA levels for lists.)  I'll try to fix it Monday or Tuesday.

 Mike, is the DMdA stepper the same as the HtDP stepper? 

Yes.

 I'm only seeing 1 dmda test in collects/tests/stepper but it doesnt
 have any lists. Can you describe the failing test case?

Pick the DeinProgramm - Die Macht der Abstraktion language.

Type, say 

(list 1 2)

and Step.  You should get 

#list 1 2

printed as an evaluation result (which is how it's printed in the REPL),
instead you get `(1 2).

Help with this would be much appreciated!

 Generally, redundancy is often a useful and appropriate tool in
 documentation.  So it would be great if Scribble would provide more
 direct support for it.

 It's just code, so you do have direct support.

Yeah, well, except you run into trouble almost immediately because that
code contains references, and Scribble is sensitive to all kinds of side
conditions involving references.  At the time, you proposed a
complicated macro to work around the ensuing problems.

 Is the issue is that you want the links in one copy of the docs to go

 Scribble's use of lexical scope to do linking is getting in your way?

Yes.

Re: [racket-dev] define-struct exports something to BSL

2010-09-22 Thread Michael Sperber

Nadeem Abdul Hamid nad...@acm.org writes:

 Consider a beginner file with:
(define-struct boa (name length))

 Student writes a template/function with parameter named a-boa, but
 misspells one occurrence, writing boa instead of a-boa.

 (define (feed a-boa)
   (make-boa (boa-name a-boa)
 (boa-length boa)))

 Their tests then fail at runtime with:
boa-length: expects argument of type struct:boa; given (make-signature 
 ...)

 Why is boa as a type visible at all in the student languages? The
 make-signature thing is really confusing, because they recognize it as
 something like a constructor but they don't know what structure it
 corresponds to.

This is my fault: We're working on something called signatures, which
can take the place of a contract comment, but is instead checked by the
system.  For example, one could write for the functions above:

(: make-boa (string number - boa))
(: boa-name (boa - string))
(: boa-length (boa - number))
(: feed (boa - boa))
 ^^^

This is why `boa' is available, and why you get output identifying boa
as a signature.  (Before the introduction of signatures, it would say
illegal use of syntax - I'm not sure that's much better.)

The work on signatures is not quite done yet (and undocumented ...), but
we're working hard on completing it in the near future.
