Hrm. The tests definitely were faster. They weren't as fast as I'd wanted, but certainly not this slow. It just took three minutes for me to load that file. It's slightly complicated by that file loading _and_ running the tests, but again, it wasn't that slow before. For reference, I'm on Ubuntu running Racket 8.1.

One thing that definitely has changed is that now, Anarki requires Racket >=7.7. I just had to update my Racket from 7.2, which worked the last time I ran Anarki, Perhaps this is related?

Updated unit-test.arc to the latest. PR at https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/pull/205

Hrm, this should have been failing for a while. It comes down to functions never being able to be `iso` to each other.

  arc> (iso (fn ()) (fn ()))
  'nil
I suspect this might've changed in the new Racket? I hope this hasn't snuck through for so long.

Anyway, working on a fix now.

At one point, years ago, I relied on every lambda returning a newly allocated object. I think I brought it up as a bug in Rainbow that the [] expressions in my Arc code were generating the same lambda-lifted result instead of creating unique objects each time.

But I think this was never something I could rely on in the original, Racket-based Arc either. The Racket docs don't specify whether a lambda expression returns a new object or reuses an existing one, and in fact they explicitly allow for the possibility of reusing one:

"Similarly, evaluation of a lambda form typically generates a new procedure object, but it may re-use a procedure object previously generated by the same source lambda form."

That sentence has been in the reference since the earliest versions I can find online:

The latest docs, currently for 8.1 (2021): https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Equality.html#%28part...

5.0 (2010): https://download.racket-lang.org/docs/5.0/html/reference/eva...

4.0.0.1 (2008): https://web.archive.org/web/20080620030058/http://docs.plt-s...

3.99.0.13 (2008): https://web.archive.org/web/20080229164003/http://docs.plt-s...

I'm not sure if the bug you're referring to had to do with making the same mistake I was making back then, or if you're talking about making the opposite assumption (expecting two procedures to be equal), but it's probably best not to expect stability either way.

I was doing a deep-`iso` comparison I called `same`, because in Arc, hash tables are not the same. In Arc3.1:

  arc> (iso (obj) (obj))
  nil
  arc> (iso (obj 1 2) (obj 1 2))
  nil
So I made a function that iterated over the key/value pairs and compared them. In some unit tests, I used that on a hash table that contained functions. Yesterday, I refactored the unit tests to instead make sure the keys were right.

Interestingly, it seems that Anarki can compare hash tables:

  arc> (iso (obj) (obj))
  't
  
  arc> (iso (obj 1 2) (obj 1 2))
  't
Anyway, this should fix the unit test tests in the Anarki repo.

Oh jeez, let me take a look.

Not on you. I know we forked it as well a while ago.

>should be nil but instead was nil

I'm sorry, what?

It's printing out the two values it's comparing. Not sure yet why they're not the same.

It makes more sense when you see an error message like "should be 3 but instead was 2".
