Re: [racket-users] question about places and main thread gc

Sorry, it's all a bit simpler than i'm making it out to be. Basically, i want to run racket from c code (embedded i guess, but i'm not compiling any embedded c files). This is because i want to run everything in one process. I want to have actual parallelism so that is why i'm using places. I

[racket-users] matching M-N instances

Using the 'match' form, is there a straightforward way to have optional items in a pattern? For example: (match records [(list (? string? name) 0..1 phone-numbers ..1) 'ok]) This would match a list of phone numbers that might or might not have the owner's name (either as a single string or as

Re: [racket-users] package manager woes on Windows 10?

I'm not sure. I would probably add a 'single-no-return style and then grep the codebase for places that use 'single and change them (as appropriate). Robby On Sun, Sep 13, 2020 at 3:15 PM Sorawee Porncharoenwase < sorawee.pw...@gmail.com> wrote: > I meant, wouldn’t it be better to fix

I meant, wouldn’t it be better to fix text-field% itself, instead of only some instances of it? Sorry if that was confusing. On Sun, Sep 13, 2020 at 1:12 PM Sorawee Porncharoenwase < sorawee.pw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Should the fix apply to all 'single styled text-field% >

Re: [racket-users] Incorporating Markdown documents into Scribble

Apologies, I left in some debugging code. All we need is @(define (markdown-inline file) (xexprs->scribble-pres (with-input-from-file file read-markdown))) This will do you job, Jos Koot. For instance: @title{Hello} @(markdown-inline "new.md") combined with (as "new.md") This is a *

Re: [racket-users] Incorporating Markdown documents into Scribble

Okay, if I understand correctly, you would expect the trailing text in my example to be appended to the final subsection from the file. In that case, does it work if you simply remove the call to `decode-flow` from the definition of `markdown-inline`? Then the function would just return a list of

Re: [racket-users] Incorporating Markdown documents into Scribble

It's useful to have this behave like a `#include`. There are settings where you want to have a non-Scribble person author things that go "in the middle"; you want to think of this as just a more convenient way of writing what you'd have written in Scribble. I realize there's presumably a closure

What should the splicing version do in the following case: some text @(markdown-inline "file-with-sections.md") some trailing text In particular, what should happen to the trailing text? Scribble doesn't have a notion of returning to the top-level after a section. One possibility would be

[racket-users] question about places and main thread gc

Hi. I am making an app that basically spawns two racket places and i want to be able to communicate with them from c code. Will gc happen in the two racket places if i don't keep the main thread (the one that spawned the places) running? I was thinking about whether i should keep the main thread
