[racket-users] Two issues in Racket 6.11/6.2 Win64: can't reindent, notepad used for opening html pages

2015-07-05 Thread Emmanuel Oga
Hi, I'm having two issues in Racket 6.11 and 6.2, Win64: 1) I can't re-indent: * The Tab key over a highlighted selection doesn't work. * Ctrl-I or menu Racket > Re-indent All does nothing, with and without code being selected * I manually broke the indentation in hideous ways to make sure the

[racket-users] how to add file types to `raco test`?

2015-07-05 Thread Matthew Butterick
`raco test` will automatically test every .rkt and .scrbl file in a directory. Suppose I make `#lang foo` and thus many of my test files end with .foo. I would want all .foo files to be automatically tested as well. Is there a way to use "info.rkt" to tell `raco test` to add file types? (Should the

Some high water mark on the stack might be another improvement - it would only need to scan above it for changes - but on a second thought: that wouldn't work or "change" wouldn't mean anything anymore because of the Lazy Sweep. Have you ever seen such a thing segfault after exactly 9000 cells

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

Oops, I had a typo in my lede, which confused my question. I have little doubt that Racket can be installed on SteamOS; I'm more curious about experiences (e.g., GC in games, any difficulty with Valve's ABI or their encryption or anti-tampering stuff, difficulty FFI-ing with the C++ SDK, perfo

Should be pretty easy. SteamOS is just a front-end running on top of Debian Wheezy, to my understanding. Even uses APT. I don't know what they've changed compared to the standard distro, but you can probably even just do "apt-get install racket". You could always give it a try: http://store.steamp
