We also need to save C ABI volatile registers before calling the signal handler in order to be able to reliably resume. Add signal-handler and leaf-signal-handler subprimitives to preserve volatile registers before invoking the signal handler C function.
Now that "io" provides a method on object for stream-read-partial-unsafe that forwards to stream-read-unsafe, individual stream class that don't implement partial reads don't need to provide such a method themselves.
Now that all streams have been updated to implement the stream-read-unsafe protocol, take out the noncopying-reader shim. Turn stream-read and stream-read-partial into plain functions over the -unsafe generics.
Change the fread primitive to fread-unsafe, matching the new primitive in the VM, and update the implementation of c-reader to implement stream-read-unsafe and stream-read in terms of fread-unsafe
Specifically,
• Created >c-array to be replacement for >T-array.
• Created cast-array to be generic replacement for all T-array-cast words.
• Created c-array@ to be generic replacement for T-array@ words.
• Replaced usages of <T-array> with T <c-array>
• Replaced usages of <direct-T-array> with T <c-direct-array>
• Replaced usages of >T-array with T >c-array
• Replaced usages of T-array-cast with T cast-array
• Replaced usages of malloc-T-array with T malloc-array.
• Removed malloc-T-array.
• Removed T-array-cast.
• Removed T-array@.
• Removed >T-array.
I also added (but didn't change any code to use):
• T c-array-type, returns T-array
• T c-array?, returns T-array?
• c-array{ T ... }, returns T-array{ ... }
Bootstraps just find on Mac OS X. Also `load-all test-all` works for me.
C: now sets the stack effect of the new word to slot names
add new basis/constants vocab; CONSTANT: foo bar is equivalent to : foo bar ; inline
(going to fold CONSTANT:, ALIAS: and qualified into core soon perhaps)
tighten the screws: inline words now need a stack declaration too
update some usages of inline words
Add millis as a library word
sleep now takes either a duration or a microsecond count; code using durations doens't need to be updated, code using millisecond counts updated to use durations for the most part
