[racket] Evaluating pict to string

I think the issue you're seeing is that you've instantiated two copies of
slideshow/pict (as in the example program below), one inside the sandbox
and one outside so the functions on picts from the outside don't work on
picts that are produced by code inside.

I think that probably the right fix is to add some code to expressions that
are evaluated that does the translation inside the sandbox (so very big
picts turn into out of memory errors inside the sandbox instead of outside,
for example).

Robby

#lang racket
(require racket/sandbox)
(define evaluator
  (parameterize ([sandbox-output 'string]
                 [sandbox-error-output 'string]
                 [sandbox-path-permissions '((exists #rx#"")
                                             (read #rx#""))])
    (call-with-limits #f #f
                      (lambda () (make-evaluator 'slideshow)))))


(define (run-code ev str)
  (define res (ev str))
  (define out (get-output ev))
  (define err (get-error-output ev))
  (list res out err))

(require slideshow/pict)

(define not-an-outside-pict (run-code evaluator (format "~s" '(circle 10))))
(pict? not-an-outside-pict)

(run-code evaluator (format "~s" '(pict? (circle 10))))
