2001-04-01  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.c (MARK):  Re-introduce a cheap sanity test for non debug
	mode, as suggested by Michael Livshin.

2001-03-31  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* backtrace.c (display_backtrace_body): since the `print_state'
	variable is not used (instead its data field is used directly as
	`pstate'), protect it from the hungry compiler optimizations.
	thanks to Bill Schottstaedt for the report.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.[ch] (scm_tc16_allocated):  New type tag for allocated cells.
	It is only defined and used if guile is compiled with
	SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.  It's purpose is, to never
	let cells with a free_cell type tag be visible outside of the
	garbage collector when in debug mode.

	* gc.c (scm_debug_cell_accesses_p):  Set to true as default.

	(scm_assert_cell_valid):  Use a local static variable to avoid
	recursion.

	(MARK):  Only check for rogue cell pointers in debug mode.  Use
	scm_cellp for this purpose and place all checks for rogue pointers
	into that function.  Further, since due to conservative scanning
	we may encounter free cells during marking, don't use the standard
	cell type accessor macro to determine the cell type.

	(scm_cellp):  Check if the cell pointer actually points into a
	card header.

	(scm_init_gc):  Initalize scm_tc16_allocated.

	* gc.h (GCH):  Renamed to SCM_GC_H.

	(SCM_VALIDATE_CELL):  Enclose the expression in brackets.  This
	might be unnecessary, but I feel better this way :-)

	(SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE):  New macro.

	(SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):  Deprecated.  These are not used
	in guile, and it is unlikely that they will be applied to real
	pairs anyway.

	(SCM_SET_FREE_CELL_TYPE):  Removed.  It was not used.

	(SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED):  New macro.  Only non-empty if guile is
	compiled with SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.

	(SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Use of SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED will
	make sure that in debug mode no free cell will ever be visible
	outside of the garbage collector.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* async.c (scm_asyncs_pending):  Don't use != to compare SCM
	values.

	* async.c (scm_system_async), variable.c (scm_make_variable,
	scm_make_undefined_variable):  Use scm_cons to create a pair.

	* debug.c (scm_reverse_lookup):  Perform proper type checking.
	Remove suspicious use of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.

	* eq.c (scm_equal_p), tags.h (SCM_ECONSP):  Use SCM_CONSP instead
	of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.  A sane compiler should be able to perform
	the corresponding optimization.

	* eval.c (iqq):  Use proper type check.

	(scm_m_expand_body):  Remove redundant type checks.

	(promise_print):  Don't access promise cells as pairs.

	* eval.c (EVALCAR, iqq, scm_m_expand_body, scm_eval_args,
	scm_deval_args SCM_CEVAL), guardians.c (scm_guard), hashtab.c
	(scm_internal_hash_fold), print.c (scm_iprlist):  Use !SCM_CELLP
	for SCM_NCELLP, !SCM_CONSP for SCM_NCONSP, !SCM_IMP for SCM_NIMP,
	!SCM_FALSEP for SCM_NFALSEP, !SCM_NULLP for SCM_NNULLP

	* eval.c (scm_m_define, scm_macroexp, SCM_CEVAL), print.c
	(scm_iprin1):  Use new macro predicate and accessors.

	* eval.h (scm_tc16_macro):  Removed declaration.  It is declared
	in macros.h.

	* eval.h (EVALH), macros.h (MACROSH), ports.h (PORTSH), procs.h
	(PROCSH), tags.h (TAGSH), variable.h (VARIABLEH):  Renamed to
	SCM_EVAL_H, SCM_MACROS_H, SCM_PORTS_H, SCM_PROCS_H, SCM_TAGS_H and
	SCM_VARIABLE_H.  Even the macros that are used to inhibit
	including a header file twice should be in the SCM_ namespace.

	* fluids.c (scm_swap_fluids, scm_swap_fluids_reverse),
	properties.c (scm_primitive_property_ref,
	scm_primitive_property_del_x):  Prefer stronger predicates like
	SCM_NULLP or SCM_FALSEP over SCM_IMP.

	* gc.c (MARK):  Use proper macros to access procedure-with-setter
	cell elements and closure cell elements.

	(gc_sweep_freelist_finish, scm_gc_sweep, init_heap_seg):  Don't
	access free cells as pairs.

	(scm_unprotect_object):  scm_hashq_get_handle returns #f if
	no hashtab entry is found.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep), ports.c (scm_close_port):  Use new macro
	SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG.

	* guardians.c (TCONC_IN), print.c (scm_free_print_state):  Don't
	use SCM_SET_C[AD]R for uninitialized cells.

	* hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_get_handle):  Use SCM_VALIDATE_VECTOR.
	If the hashtable has no slots, return #f instead of '().  This
	unifies the return value with most assoc-functions.

	(scm_hash_fn_ref):  Use proper type check.

	(scm_hashq_get_handle, scm_hashv_get_handle, scm_hash_get_handle):
	Removed references to non-existing functions from documentation.

	* keywords.c (scm_keyword_dash_symbol):  Use proper macros to
	access keyword cell elements.

	* macros.h (SCM_MACROP, SCM_MACRO_TYPE, SCM_MACRO_CODE):  New
	macros.

	* ports.h (SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG):  New macro.

	* print.c (scm_iprlist):  Added comment.  Improved loop
	conditions.

	* procs.h (SCM_ENV, SCM_SETENV):  Don't access closure cells as
	pairs.

	scm_variable_set_x):  Use proper macros to access variable cell
	elements.

	(scm_variable_bound_p):  Don't use SCM_NEGATE_BOOL.

	* variable.h (SCM_VARVCELL):  Don't access variable cells as
	pairs.

	* vectors.c (scm_vector), weaks.c (scm_weak_vector):  Simplified,
	added FIXME comment, removed register specifier.

2001-03-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

	* goops.c, goops.h (scm_init_oop_goops_goopscore_module): Deprecated.
	* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Don't init goopscore module.

	(scm_string_capitalize): Rewrote and corrected docstrings.
	(scm_string_ci_to_symbol): Made docstring more explicit.

	* gh.h/gh_data.c (gh_ints2scm):  Changed the signature to use a
	const int* to reflect that the input array of integers remains
	unchanged.  Thanks to Brett Viren for the hint.

2001-03-14  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* gh_data.c (gh_scm2chars, gh_scm2shorts, gh_scm2longs),

2001-03-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* ramap.c (racp): Removed optimization which caused array copying
	to fail if the two arrays shared storage.  Re-inserted the IVDEP
	macros removed in the change of 2000-03-09.  (Don't really have a
	complete grasp of what they are for, but they seem to be necessary
	on Crays.  This needs testing!)  Thanks to Miroslav Silovic.

2001-03-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

2001-03-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* coop-threads.c (scm_call_with_new_thread), load.c
	(scm_primitive_load, scm_sys_search_load_path), random.c

	about the expected type with the wrong-type-arg error message.

	* smob.c (scm_make_smob):  Abort on misuse of smob - it indicates

2001-03-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* eval.c (scm_m_letstar): Removed check for duplicate bindings.
	Duplicate bindings are OK in a let* since a let* is semantically

	taking an unexpectedly large filename for an AF_UNIX socket from
	bind/connect/sendto (thanks to Martin Grabmueller).
	
	* socket.c (scm_sock_fd_to_port, SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT): removed the
	former and adjusted the latter.
	(scm_socket, scm_socketpair): cosmetic changes.
	(scm_getsockopt, scm_setsockopt): declare optlen as int, not
	size_t as socklen_t substitute.  don't restrict args/return values
	to INUM: allow full range of int or size_t.
	(scm_fill_sockaddr): check arguments before allocating memory, to
	avoid leakage.  use malloc, not scm_must_malloc.
	(scm_connect, scm_bind, scm_sendto): use int, not size_t as socklen_t
	substitute.  free the sockaddr structure before throwing an error.
	(scm_init_add_buffer): procedure removed, together with its static
	buffer scm_addr_buffer, which wouldn't be thread safe.  instead,
	define a macro MAX_ADDR_SIZE and declare the buffer where needed.
	(scm_accept, scm_getpeername, scm_getsockname, scm_recvfrom,
	scm_sendto): use a local buffer instead of scm_addr_buffer.
	adjust for new SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT.  use int for address size,
	not size_t.
	(scm_recvfrom): set addr->sa_family to AF_UNSPEC before the recvfrom
	call to detect whether recvfrom could be bothered to set the address.
	(scm_init_socket): don't call scm_init_addr_buffer.

2001-03-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	in the non-toplevel loop.
	(nontoplevel_cdrxnoap, nontoplevel_cdrxbegin, nontoplevel_begin):
	New labels with the meaning of their non-"nontoplevel" partners,
	but they are used when it is known that the body is not evaluated at
	top-level.
	(scm_apply, scm_dapply): use SCM_EVALIM2 to get proper error
	reporting for empty combinations.

	* eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When evaluating expressions on

2001-02-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* symbols.c (scm_mem2symbol): Put a empty statement after the
	next_symbol label.  This is mandated by ANSI, appearantly.

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* gc_os_dep.c: Do not include <linux/version.h>.  It makes no
	sense to compile for a specific kernel version.  Do not include
	<asm/signal.h> while defining __KERNEL__.  This hack should no
	longer be needed and caused problems.

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): use `SIDEVAL' instead of
	SCM_CEVAL when evaluating subforms of `begin' forms.  SCM_CEVAL
	can not deal with immediates.

2001-02-12  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

	* list.c (scm_list_copy): Validate the first argument.

2001-02-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	evaluated with respect to the module system.
	
	* modules.h. modules.c (scm_current_module_lookup_closure): New
	function.

	* eval.h (scm_primitive_eval, scm_primitive_eval_x): New
	prototypes.
	(scm_i_eval, scm_i_eval_x, scm_eval, scm_eval_x): Changed argument
	names to better reflect their meaning.

	* eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Recognize when `begin' is being
	evaluated at top-level and synronize lookup closure before
	executing every subform.
	(scm_primitve_eval_x, scm_primitive_eval): New functions.
	(scm_eval_x, scm_eval): Reimplement in terms of
	scm_primitive_eval_x and scm_primitive_eval, respectively.
	
2001-02-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* macros.c (scm_macro_name, scm_macro_transformer): Use
	SCM_SMOB_DATA instead of SCM_CDR.  Provided by Martin Grabmueller.

	and C names.
	(scm_select_module, scm_set_current_module): Likewise.  Changed
	all uses.
	
	* ports.c (scm_port_for_each): Make a snapshot of the port table
	before iterating over it.  The table might change while the user
	code is running.  With the snapshot, the user can depend on the
	fact that each port that existed at the start of the iteration is
	encountered exactly once.  (ice-9 popen) depends on this.

2001-02-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* strings.h (SCM_STRING_MAX_LENGTH):  New macro.

	* strings.c (scm_makstr, scm_take_str, scm_make_string):  Added
