[bpt/guile.git] / libguile / ChangeLog

2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* eval.c (scm_badformalsp): New static function.
	(SCM_CEVAL): Check arguments for procedure-with-setter closures.
	(Thanks to Keisuke Nishida.)

	The major reason for Guile's slow loading speed has been the fact
	that a chain of Scheme level procedures has been evaluated for
	every top-level symbol lookup during the first pass through the
	code.
	
	The following is a kludge which I suggested four years ago, and
	which I've repeatedly suggested since.  Personally, I've never
	been bothered by Guile's slow loading speed, so I thought I would
	let someone else do it...

	But since the new environments will be included first in
	Guile-1.5, I thought it would make people happy to get the kludge
	into 1.4.
	
	* modules.c: Added #include "libguile/vectors.h";
	Added #include "libguile/hashtab.h";
	Added #include "libguile/struct.h";
	Added #include "libguile/variable.h";
	Capture Scheme level `module-make-local-var!' to be used in the
	standard eval closure.
	(scm_standard_eval_closure): New primitive.

	* modules.h (scm_standard_eval_closure): Declare.

	* eval.c (scm_lookupcar): Test for !SCM_CONSP (SCM_CAR (env))
	instead of SCM_TRUE (scm_procedurep (SCM_CAR (env))).

	* symbols.c (scm_sym2vcell): Bypass dispatch in the evaluator for
	standard eval closures.

	* variable.c: Code layout fixes.

2000-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.am: Added LIBS line to libpath which accidentally
	disappeared in the change of 2000-06-01.
	(Thanks to Dale	P. Smith.)

2000-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* scmsigs.c (scm_segfault): Removed.  (Was probably added by
	mistake since it is not mentioned in ChangeLog.)

	* gc.h (SCM_VALIDATE_CELL): Cast result to (void) in order to
	avoid compiler warnings in gcc.  (Does this work for other
	compilers?)

2000-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.h (SCM_VALIDATE_CELL): Don't "use" the value returned by
	abort ().
	(SCM_CARLOC, SCM_CDRLOC): Define directly instead of using
	SCM_CELL_OBJECT_0 and SCM_CELL_OBJECT_1.  It's not correct to take
	the address of these expressions since they use SCM_VALIDATE_CELL.
	(Thanks to Bernard Urban.)

	* dynl.c: Changed #include <ltdl.h> --> #include
	"libltdl/ltdl.h".  (Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.)

2000-06-01  Craig Brozefsky  <craig@red-bean.com>

	* Makefile.am: libguile_la_LDFLAGS gets -version-info args
	from GUILE-VERSION definition of LIBGUILE version.  Added to
	libpath.h definitions for guileversion and libguileversion which
	both get their values from GUILE-VERSION definition.

2000-05-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.h (SCM_BIGP):  Don't use SCM_SMOB_PREDICATE in header
	file:  Code using numbers should not be required to include
	smob.h.

2000-05-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* coop-threads.c.cygnus, coop-threads.h.cygnus, fsu-pthreads.h,
	mit-pthreads.c, mit-pthreads.h:  Deleted.

	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST), scmsigs.c, threads.[ch]:  Drop
	references to deleted files and fsu/mit thread support in
	general.

2000-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* hooks.c (symbol_name, scm_create_hook):  Restored the original
	behaviour of scm_create_hook.  Changing it was bad as Carl
	R. Witty has pointed out.

	* gc.c (scm_init_gc):  We can still rely on scm_create_hook to
	protect the object.

2000-05-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.c (scm_init_gc):  Protect scm_after_gc_hook, since this will
	soon not be done by scm_create_hook any longer.

	* hooks.c (make_hook, print_hook, scm_create_hook,
	scm_make_hook_with_name, scm_make_hook), hooks.h (SCM_HOOK_NAME,
	SCM_HOOK_PROCEDURES, SCM_SET_HOOK_PROCEDURES,
	scm_make_hook_with_name), init.c (scm_boot_guile_1):  Hooks no
	longer have names.  As an intermediate solution, the name
	predicate is emulated via object properties, but use of this
	feature is deprecated.

	* hooks.h (scm_free_hook):  Removed, as it is never defined.

2000-05-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.[ch] (SCM_POSFIXABLE, SCM_NEGFIXABLE, SCM_FIXABLE):
	Un-deprecated since otherwise user code can't determine whether a
	number fits into an inum any longer.  The names should be changed
	some time, though.

	* numbers.c (scm_big2inum):  Eliminated use of SCM_UNEGFIXABLE.

	* tags.h (SCM_UNPACK_CAR):  Deprecated.

2000-05-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* filesys.h (SCM_OPDIRP), fluids.h (SCM_FLUIDP, SCM_FLUID_NUM),
	fports.h (SCM_OPFPORTP, SCM_OPINFPORTP, SCM_OPOUTFPORTP), hooks.h
	(SCM_HOOK_ARITY), keywords.h (SCM_KEYWORDP, SCM_KEYWORDSYM),
	numbers.h (SCM_NUMP, SCM_BIGSIGN, SCM_BDIGITS, SCM_NUMDIGS): 
	Replace SCM_UNPACK_CAR appropriately.  Don't access cells via
	SCM_{SET}?C[AD]R unless they are known to be cons cells.

	* gc.c (scm_heap_seg_data_t, scm_mark_locations, scm_cellp,
	init_heap_seg):  Remove unused struct member variable 'valid'.

2000-05-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* fports.c (fport_write), ports.c (scm_markstream, scm_port_mode,
	scm_print_port_mode), ports.h (SCM_OPPORTP, SCM_OPINPORTP,
	SCM_OPOUTPORTP, SCM_INPUT_PORT_P, SCM_OUTPUT_PORT_P, SCM_OPENP),
	procs.h (SCM_CLOSCAR), unif.h (SCM_ARRAY_NDIM, SCM_ARRAY_CONTP),
	variable.h (SCM_VARIABLEP):  Replace SCM_UNPACK_CAR
	appropriately.

2000-05-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.c (free_list_length), hash.c (scm_hasher), macros.c
	(scm_macro_type), objects.c (scm_class_of), options.c
	(scm_options), print.c (scm_iprin1), strports.c (st_seek), throw.c
	(SCM_LAZY_CATCH_P):  Replace SCM_UNPACK_CAR appropriately.

2000-05-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* eval.c (scm_macroexp, SCM_CEVAL, scm_force), tags.h:  Replace
	SCM_UNPACK_CAR with SCM_CELL_TYPE or SCM_CELL_WORD_0.

	* eval.c (scm_force):  Add documentation.

	* eval.c (scm_force, scm_cons_source):  Don't access cells via
	SCM_{SET}?C[AD]R unless they are known to be cons cells.

2000-05-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* strings.h (SCM_NSTRINGP, SCM_NRWSTRINGP), tags.h
	(SCM_NDOUBLE_CELLP), vectors.h (SCM_NVECTORP):  Deprecated.

	* gc.c (scm_igc), gc.h (SCM_PTR_MASK, SCM_PTR_LT):  Removed #ifdef
	nosve #endif conditionally compiled code.

2000-05-23  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* gc.c (scm_heap_seg_data_t): fixed comment for the `span' member.

2000-05-22  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* guile-doc-snarf.in: put the preprocessed file through sed to
	trim all lines to 1024 chars.  I hope it doesn't break anybody's
	sed.  we'll see.  (note: this is lossy trimming, i.e. the spill
	isn't wrapped around but actually chopped off.  this seemed to me
	safe because the current snarfer doesn't understand multi-line
	cookies anyway.  in the long term, it would be nice not to depend
	on AWK for anything.)

	* gc.h (SCM_[SET_]CELL_{WORD,OBJECT}, SCM_VALIDATE_CELL): reverted 
	the previous change to this macros, after deciding to torture the
	snarfer instead.

2000-05-21  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* gc.h (SCM_[SET_]CELL_{WORD,OBJECT}, SCM_VALIDATE_CELL): brought
 	the yucky, ugly and nasty conditional compilation back.  sorry,
 	but it was either that or requiring GAWK to build Guile.
	(lots of places): removed the code that implemented the old GC
 	scheme.

	* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): removed the code conditioned on
 	!GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME.

	* __scm.h: (GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME): removed.

	* gc.c (scm_protect_object, scm_unprotect_object): change the
 	implementation to more efficient (at least in the time complexity
 	sense).  the calls should now also be thread-safe -- I suspect
 	that people expect them to be.  (thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys)
	(lots of places): removed the code that implemented the old GC
 	scheme.

	* hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_create_handle_x): add missing
	SCM_REALLOW_INTS before return.  I really wonder about the
	possible interactions between hashtables, threads & GC.  it
	doesn't look healthy at all. 

2000-05-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* unif.c (scm_bit_count):  Fixed the parameter checks.  Thanks to
	Dale P. Smith.

2000-05-19  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* __scm.h (SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES), gc.h (SCM_):  Added as a new
	debug option to verify all accesses to cells actually access
	objects on the heap.

	* gc.h (SCM_VALIDATE_CELL):  Added.  Only performs validation if
	SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES is set to 1.

	(SCM_CELL_WORD, SCM_CELL_OBJECT, SCM_SET_CELL_WORD,
	SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT):  Use SCM_VALIDATE_CELL to check every cell
	that is accessed.

2000-05-19  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gh_data.c (gh_scm2chars, gh_scm2shorts, gh_scm2longs,
	gh_scm2floats, gh_scm2doubles):  Change !SCM_NIMP to SCM_IMP.

	* gc.c (scm_cellp):  Fixed and simplified.

	* throw.c (JBJMPBUF, SETJBJMPBUF, SCM_JBDFRAME, SCM_SETJBDFRAME,
	make_jmpbuf, scm_init_throw):  Now using double cells to represent
	jump buffers when using debug extensions.

	(freejb):  Removed.

2000-05-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gh.h gh_data.c gh_funcs.c (gh_new_procedure*, gh_chars2byvect,
	gh_shorts2svect, gh_longs2ivect, gh_ulongs2uvect, gh_floats2fvect,
	gh_doubles2dvect, gh_doubles2scm, gh_define, gh_lookup,
	gh_module_lookup):  Accept const pointers as parameters.

	* gh.h gh_data.c (gh_int2scmb):  Deprecated.

2000-05-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* __scm.h (SCM_DEBUG_REST_ARGUMENT):  Renamed from
	SCM_DEBUG_REST_ARGUMENTS in order to clarify that we don't test
	the actual arguments in the list, but rather the rest argument as
	a list of arguments.

	* validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_REST_ARGUMENT):  Added.

	* async.c (scm_noop), eval.c (scm_map, scm_for_each), list.c
	(scm_list_star, scm_append, scm_append_x), ports.c
	(scm_close_all_ports_except), ramap.c (scm_array_map_x,
	scm_array_for_each), regex-posix.c (scm_make_regexp), stacks.c
	(scm_make_stack), strings.c (scm_string_append), struct.c
	(scm_make_struct, scm_make_vtable_vtable):  Validate rest arguments.

	* dynl.c (DYNL_GLOBAL, sysdep_dynl_link, kw_global, sym_global,
	scm_dynamic_link, scm_init_dynamic_linking), dynl.h
	(scm_dynamic_link):  Removed possibility to pass flags to
	scm_dynamic_link, as it had no effect anyway.

	* filesys.c (scm_fcntl):  Made single optional rest argument into
	a standard optional argument.

	* hooks.c (scm_run_hook):  A list of rest arguments is never
	SCM_UNBNDP.

	* list.c (scm_append, scm_append_x), stacks.c (scm_make_stack),
	strings.c (scm_string_append):	Don't perform half-hearted checks
	to see whether the rest argument forms a proper list any more, use
	SCM_VALIDATE_REST_ARGUMENTS instead.

	* ports.c (scm_close_all_ports_except):  Accept empty list of rest
	arguments.

	* posix.c (scm_convert_exec_args), print.c (scm_simple_format):
	Simplify verification of rest argument.

	* stacks.c (scm_make_stack), stacks.h (scm_make_stack), throw.c
	(ss_handler, handler_message):  Make first mandatory rest argument
	of scm_make_stack into a standard mandatory argument.  

	* unif.c (scm_transpose_array, scm_enclose_array,
	scm_array_in_bounds_p), unif.h (scm_transpose_array,
	scm_enclose_array, scm_array_in_bounds_p):  Make first mandatory
	rest argument into a standard mandatory argument.

2000-05-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* __scm.h:  Added SCM_DEBUG as default debug option. (Thanks to
	Keisuke Nishida for the suggestion.)  Added debug option
	SCM_DEBUG_REST_ARGUMENTS.

	* eval.c (scm_map, scm_for_each):  Make sure all lists have the
	same length.  Also, removed redundant parameter checks.

2000-05-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* Makefile.am:  Let 'make clean' remove *.x and *.doc files.

	* __scm.h:  Improved explanation of giving options to make.

	* __scm.h (SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS), tags.h
	(SCM_STRICT_TYPING, SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS):  Renamed
	SCM_STRICT_TYPING to SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS and moved the
	corresponding declaration and comment to __scm.h.

	* _scm.h (errno), gc.h (SCM_CELLPTR, SCM_PTR_LT), numbers.c
	(scm_remainder, scm_modulo), numbers.h (SCM_SRS, SCM_MAKINUM,
	SCM_INUM):  Removed conditionally compiled code for Turbo C.

	* gdbint.c (gdb_maybe_valid_type_p):  Eliminated call to scm_tag.
	That check can be assumed to be redundant except for very rare
	conditions that actually indicate broken heap data.

2000-05-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_logcount, scm_integer_length):  Reordered
	dispatch sequence.

2000-05-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * stime.c (scm_strftime): don't reset TZ if zone is an empty
	string.  append a "0" to the zone for TZ.

2000-05-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_logbit_p, scm_bit_extract):  Reordered dispatch
	sequence.

	(scm_bit_extract):  Fixed handling of bignums.

2000-05-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* async.c (scm_sys_gc_async_thunk), chars.h (SCM_ICHRP, SCM_ICHR,
	SCM_MAKICHR), continuations.h (SCM_SETJMPBUF), error.c
	(scm_sysmissing), error.h (scm_sysmissing), evalext.c
	('serial-map), ioext.c (scm_fseek), ioext.h (scm_fseek),
	keywords.c (scm_tc16_kw, scm_init_keywords), ports.h (SCM_CRDY,
	SCM_INPORTP, SCM_OUTPORTP), ramap.c ('serial-array-copy!,

	(SCM_VALIDATE_CHAR):  Replace use of deprecated macros
	SCM_INPORTP, SCM_OUTPORTP, SCM_ICHRP by SCM_INPUT_PORT_P,
	SCM_OUTPUT_PORT_P, SCM_CHARP, respectively.

2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* stime.c (scm_strftime): if HAVE_TM_ZONE is not defined, hack the
	TZ environment variable so that the %Z format returns the zone
	from the input vector instead of the system default.

	from Keisuke Nishida:
	* fports.c (scm_setvbuf): minor docstring fix.
	* ports.h (scm_generic_fgets): obsolete prototype deleted.

2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* __scm.h:  Added new section for debugging options.

	(SCM_DEBUG_DEPRECATED):  If 1, no deprecated code is included to
	help developers to get rid of references to deprecated code.

	* numbers.[ch] (SCM_POSFIXABLE, SCM_NEGFIXABLE, SCM_UNEGFIXABLE,
	SCM_FIXABLE, SCM_FLOBUFLEN):  These macros are no longer provided
	as part of the interface and are marked as deprecated in the
	header file.

	* numbers.c (scm_make_real, scm_make_complex):  Inlined the
	corresponding macros SCM_NEWREAL and SCM_NEWCOMPLEX,
	respectively.

	* numbers.h (SCM_NEWREAL, SCM_NEWCOMPLEX, SCM_INEXP, SCM_CPLXP,
	SCM_REAL, SCM_IMAG, SCM_REALPART, scm_makdbl, SCM_SINGP,

2000-05-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.h (scm_cell, SCM_CELL_WORD, SCM_CELL_OBJECT,
	SCM_SET_CELL_WORD, SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT):  Scheme cells now consist
	of two scm_bits_t values instead of two SCM values, because it is
	legal for cell entries to hold values that are not scheme objects.

	(SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CAR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):
	Use SCM_SETC[AD]R to modify contents of pairs.

2000-05-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (IS_INF, isfinite):  Added FIXME comment.

	(scm_abs, scm_magnitude):  Make these two independent of each
	other.  scm_abs now reports an error if given a complex argument.

	(scm_istr2flo, scm_integer_p).  Use SCM_REAL_VALUE instead of
	SCM_REALPART if the object is known to be real.

	(scm_init_numbers):  No need to use SCM_NEWREAL macro for speed
	here.

	* numbers.h (SCM_SINGP):  Set to 0 instead of SCM_BOOL_F.

2000-05-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	vector_sum_squares), unif.c (scm_make_uve, scm_array_p,
	scm_array_set_x):  Use SCM_REAL_VALUE instead of SCM_REALPART if

	deprecated SCM_CPLXP.  Use SCM_INEXACTP instead of deprecated
	SCM_INEXP.

2000-05-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c:  No need to include unif.h.

	(IS_INF):  Returned to old test for now:  x == x + 1 will not work
	for large numbers due to rounding errors.
	Thanks to Kalle Olavi Niemitalo.

2000-05-09  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_divbigdig):  Removed outdated comment.

	(add1, scm_init_numbers):  Removed add1.

2000-05-09  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (IS_INF):  The new test is x == x + 1.  The old test
	x == x/2 did not work for zero values.  Thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys
	and Ivan Toshkov.

	(scm_number_to_string, scm_sum, scm_difference, scm_two_doubles,
	scm_num2long, scm_num2long_long, scm_num2ulong):  Reordered
	dispatch sequence.

2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* scmsigs.c (take_signal): Execute SCM_ASYNC_TICK for SIGSEGV,
	SIGILL and SIGBUS signals.  These signals are not continuable and
	must be handled for real right away.

2000-05-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_zero_p, scm_positive_p, scm_negative_p,
	scm_real_part, scm_imag_part, scm_magnitude,
	scm_inexact_to_exact):  Reordered dispatch sequence.

2000-05-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* feature.c:  No need to include "libguile/smob.h"

	(scm_loc_features, features, scm_add_feature, scm_init_feature):
	Removed variable 'scm_loc_features' as a pointer to the SCM value
	holding the features list.  Using variable 'features' instead,
	which holds the interned pair.  Thus, SCM_SETCDR can be used
	instead of pointer trickery.

2000-05-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* alist.c (scm_acons):  Use SCM{_SET}?_CELL_OBJECT as long as a
	cell is not known to be a valid pair.

2000-05-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* eval.c (ASRTSYNTAX, scm_m_body, scm_m_letrec1):  Removed
	ASRTSYNTAX.  Using SCM_ASSYNT instead.

	(scm_m_body):  Don't create a redundant cons cell.

	(scm_m_do):  Removed redundant test 'bodycheck'.

	(bodycheck):  Removed.

	* stacks.c (stack_depth, read_frame, read_frames):  Removed
	redundant calculation of size, minimized some variable scopes.

2000-05-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* pairs.c (scm_cons, scm_cons2):  Use SCM{_SET}?_CELL_OBJECT as
	long as a cell is not known to be a valid pair.

	(scm_pair_p):  Eliminated redundant SCM_IMP test.

2000-05-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* eval.c (scm_m_body, scm_macroexp, unmemocopy, scm_eval_args,
	scm_deval_args):  Eliminated redundant SCM_IMP tests.

	* hashtab.c (scm_ihashx, scm_sloppy_assx, scm_delx_x), weaks.c
	(scm_make_weak_key_hash_table, scm_make_weak_value_hash_table,
	scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table):  Fixed critical sections.
	Thanks to Keisuke Nishida.

2000-05-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_logand, scm_logior, scm_logxor, scm_logtest):
	Fixed some goto-related initialization bugs (introduced by me).

2000-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.h (SCM_INUM0):  Uses SCM_MAKINUM instead of SCM_PACK.

	* dynl.c (dynl_obj, DYNL_OBJ, get_dynl_obj):  Removed.

	(DYNL_FILENAME, DYNL_HANDLE):  Use SCM_CELL... macros instead of
	pointer trickery.

	(SET_DYNL_HANDLE):  Added.

	(scm_dynamic_object_p):  Simplified.

	(scm_dynamic_unlink, scm_dynamic_func):  Changed comment.  Deliver
	better error message when accessing unlinked dynamic objects.
	Eliminated call to get_dynl_obj.

2000-05-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* scmsigs.c (orig_handlers) [!HAVE_SIGACTION]: Fix declaration to
	be an array of function pointers instead of being a pointer to an
	array returning function.  Thanks to Kalle Olavi Niemitalo!

2000-05-03  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_divbigbig, scm_divbigint), numbers.h
	(scm_divbigbig, scm_divbigint):  Don't return zero any more to
	indicate that a division has a remainder, return SCM_UNDEFINED
	instead.  It is improbable that anyone actually used these
	functions outside of numbers.c.  For this reason and due to the
	change in behaviour the functions are static now.  Thus, if
	surprisingly there are users of	these functions they will at least
	get alarmed.

	* numbers.c:  Removed #ifdef SCM_BIGDIG #endif in those functions,
	that already have a clean dispatch order.  Note: SCM_BIGDIG is
	always defined.

	* numbers.c (scm_inexact_p):  Simplified.

	* numbers.c (scm_num_eq_p, scm_less_p, scm_max, scm_min,
	scm_product, scm_num2dbl, scm_angle):  Reordered dispatch
	sequence, thereby fixing some comparisons of SCM values with
	integer constants.

	* numbers.c (scm_divide):  Division by zero of inums leads to an
	error now.  (Formerly, an infinite number was returned.)

	Respect the fact, that scm_divbigbig does now return SCM_UNDEFINED
	if a division has a remainder.

2000-05-02  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* Makefile.am (INCLUDES): add ${INCLTDL} (thanks to Tim Mooney).

2000-05-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_logtest, scm_division):  Reordered dispatch
	sequence, thereby fixing some comparisons of SCM values with
	integer constants.

	* numbers.h (scm_makdbl):  Mark as deprecated at the point of
	declaration.

	* eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY), gh_data.c (gh_double2scm,
	gh_doubles2scm), numbers.c (scm_istr2flo, scm_max, scm_min,

	(ramap_rp, scm_array_map_x), random.c (scm_random,
	scm_random_uniform, scm_random_normal_vector_x, scm_random_exp),
	struct.c (scm_struct_ref), unif.c (scm_array_to_list):  Replace
	call to scm_makdbl with a call to scm_make_real or
	scm_make_complex, depending on whether the imaginary part is known
	to be zero.

2000-05-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* scmsigs.c: fix the definition of orig_handlers for the case
	that HAVE_SIGACTION is not defined (thanks to
	Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).

	libguile.h: moved to top level directory.

2000-04-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (SCM_SWAP):  Moved to the top of the file to allow for
	a wider use.

	* numbers.c (scm_modulo, scm_gcd, scm_lcm, scm_logand, scm_logior,
	scm_logxor):  Reordered dispatch sequence, thereby fixing some
	comparisons of SCM values with integer constants.

	* number.c (scm_logtest):  Removed some redundant SCM_{N}?IMP
	tests. 

2000-04-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_quotient, scm_remainder):  Removed code that was
	conditionally compiled based on BADIVSGNS.  BADIVSGNS does not
	occur anywhere else throughout guile.

	message.

	* numbers.c (scm_remainder):  Reordered dispatch sequence.

2000-04-25  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* procs.h (SCM_SUBRF, SCM_DSUBRF):  Access the cell words
	directly instead of casting a cell to a C struct.

2000-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	to scm_guardian_gc_init to respective module.
	(scm_mark_weak_vector_spines): Moved to weaks.c;
	Call to scm_guardian_zombify moved to guardians.c;
	Run scm_before_gc_c_hook, scm_before_sweep_c_hook,
	scm_after_gc_c_hook at appropriate places.
	(scm_init_gc): Initialize scm_after_gc_hook.

	libguile/, qt/, guile-readline/, or libltdl/.
	(Thanks to Tim Mooney.)

	* Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Removed THREAD_CPPFLAGS and INCLTDL.
	(DEFS): Added.  automake adds -I options to DEFS, and we don't

	the root build directory.

	* numbers.c (scm_odd_p, scm_even_p): Use SCM_WRONG_TYPE_ARG
	instead of SCM_ASSERT (0, ...).  (Some compilers will complain

	* gc.c (scm_must_malloc, scm_must_realloc, scm_must_free): Added
	calls to malloc debugging functions. 

	* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Added calls to debug-malloc init

	scm_quotient):  Reordered dispatch sequence to first handle
	immediates, second handle bignums and finally handle generic
	functions respectively signal wrong type arguments.  Hopefully
	this will allow for easier separation when goops is integrated.

2000-04-19  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.c (which_seg):  Use SCM2PTR to convert a non immediate SCM
	variable into a pointer to a heap cell.

	(scm_uniform_vector_ref, scm_cvref, rapr1):  Separated accesses to
	unsigned long and signed long arrays and clarified the way the
	access is performed.

	* ramap.c (scm_array_map_x, raeql), read.c (scm_lreadr), stacks.c
	(narrow_stack), unif.c (scm_cvref, scm_uniform_array_read_x,
	scm_raprin1):  Use SCM_EQ_P to compare SCM values.

 	Dirk Herrmann).

	* validate.h: move async validation macros to async.c (nobody else
 	needs them anyway), and rename them.

2000-04-04  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* guardians.c (scm_guardian_zombify): mark all zombies in a
 	separate loop after processing all the currently known live
 	guardians, so as to not introduce order dependencies (thanks to
 	Gary Houston).  note that the order problems are still there if
	some guardians are themselves zombies, but that's a sick case that
	I'm not going to worry about.
	also, make another outer loop to process zombified
 	guardians (which are uncovered while marking zombies).

	SCM_SET_SMOB_DATA, SCM_TC2SMOBNUM, SCM_SMOBNUM):  To access smob
	data, use SCM_{SET_}?CELL_TYPE or SCM_{SET_}?WORD_[1-3].

	Note that this implies that smob data has always to be passed as
	values of type scm_bits_t.

2000-03-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* threads.c (scm_init_threads): Pass 0 size to scm_make_smob_type

	continuation data.

	* continuations.c (scm_make_cont), init.c (start_stack),
	root.c (scm_internal_cwdr):  Use SCM_SET_CONTREGS instead of
	SCM_SETJMPBUF.

2000-03-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* symbols.h (SCM_LENGTH, SCM_SETLENGTH):  Access the length field

	to access the char * field of strings and symbols.

2000-03-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* gc.h (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Use SCM_SET_CELL_TYPE to set
	the type entry of a new cell.  Added a comment about things to
	remember when updating the list of free cells.

	(SCM_FREEP, SCM_MARKEDP):  Use SCM_CELL_TYPE to access the type
	entry of a cell.

2000-03-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* pairs.h (SCM_CAR, SCM_CDR, SCM_SETCAR, SCM_SETCDR):  Use
	SCM_CELL_OBJECT and SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT.  This change implies that
	with strict type checking enabled these macros will only work if
	given valid SCM parameters.

	(SCM_GCCDR):  Moved to tags.h.

	* tags.h (SCM_GCCDR):  Moved here from pairs.h.

2000-03-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* tags.h (SCM2PTR, PTR2SCM):  Moved to gc.h.

	* pairs.h (scm_cell, SCM_CELLPTR, SCM_CELL_WORD*, SCM_CELL_OBJECT*,
	SCM_SET_CELL_WORD*, SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT*, SCM_CELL_TYPE,

	(SCM_CARLOC, SCM_CDRLOC, SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETAND_CDR,
	SCM_SETOR_CAR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):  Moved to gc.h.  These names should
	be changed, though, since the macros are not only pair related.

	(SCMPTR):  Deleted.

	* gc.h (SCM2PTR, PTR2SCM, scm_cell, SCM_CELLPTR, SCM_CELL_WORD*,
	SCM_CELL_OBJECT*, SCM_SET_CELL_WORD*, SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT*,
	SCM_CELL_TYPE, SCM_SET_CELL_TYPE, SCM_PTR_LT, SCM_PTR_MASK,

	SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2, SCM_CARLOC, SCM_CDRLOC, SCM_SETAND_CAR,
	SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CAR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):  Moved here from
	tags.h and pairs.h.

2000-03-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* tags.h (SCM_STRICT_TYPING):  New macro that, if defined,
	activates strict compile time type checking for variables of

	SCM_STRICT_TYPING or SCM_VOIDP_TEST are defined.
	(SCM_EQ_P):  Defined as a macro equivalent for eq?.

2000-03-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* tags.h (SCM_POINTERS_MUNGED):  Removed.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep, init_heap_seg):  Removed use of
	SCM_POINTERS_MUNGED, thus fixing some illegal casts to SCM.

2000-03-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* pairs.h (SCM_CELL_OBJECT, SCM_CELL_OBJECT_[0-3],
	SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT, SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT_[0-3], SCM_CELL_TYPE,
	SCM_SET_CELL_TYPE):  Added a set of low level macros for accessing
	cell entries.
	(SCM_CELL_WORD_[0-3]): Renamed from the SCM_CELL_WORD[0-3].

	* procs.h, procs.c:  Instead of SCM_{SET_}?CELL_WORD[12], use the
	newly introduced SCM_{SET_}?CELL_OBJECT_[12] macros.

2000-03-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* tags.h: Disabled definition of SCM_VOIDP_TEST.

	Defining SCM as void * introduces problems which haven't been
	handled yet.  Developers who work with these issues can enable it
	in their working copies.

	Disabling this definition exposes a set of newly introduced and
	older misuses of types which causes warning messages during
	compilation.  We'll fix this successively.

	* gc.c (scm_mark_locations): Changed * (SCM **) X --> * (SCM *) X
	in order to obtain a value of type SCM.
	(scm_cellp): Updated with new changes to scm_mark_locations.

	* continuations.h (SCM_SETJMPBUF): Cast second arg into SCM.

	* continuations.c (scm_make_cont): Removed cast of size_t into
	long.

	* symbols.h (SCM_SETCHARS): Cast second arg into SCM.

2000-03-22  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.h (SCM_SETNUMDIGS):  Use SCM_BIGSIZEFIELD macro for
	shifting, not constant.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

	* numbers.c (scm_sum, scm_difference):  Don't test a SCM value
	for being less than zero.  Decode it to a C value first.  Again,
	thank you Dale.

2000-03-22  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.h, ramap.c, struct.h, vectors.h:  Don't use SCM2PTR for
	non scheme values.  If raw data is stored in SCM variables, it has
	to be accessed using SCM_UNPACK until a better solution is found.

2000-03-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* tags.h (SCM_ECONSP, SCM_NECONSP): More corrections of
	pointer-arithmetic induced by the SCM_PACK/UNPACK change.

	* print.c (scm_iprin1): SCM_PACK/UNPACK corrections.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): SCM_PACK/UNPACK corrections.

	* eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, scm_unmemocar): SCM_PACK/UNPACK corrections.

	* dynwind.c (scm_swap_bindings): SCM_PACK/UNPACK corrections.

	* async.c, __scm.h: Removed lots of the old async click logic.  It
	is possible to reinsert it by defining GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK in
	__scm.h.  Let's try this out and dump the old code after the
	threads reorganization.
	(set-tick-rate, set-switch-rate): Conditionally removed.

2000-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.c (scm_gc_mark): Bugfix 1: The recent SCM_PACK/UNPACK change
	made SCM values into pointers.  This turned an arithmetic
	computation of the address of the vcell into a pointer-arithmetic
	one, thereby screwing up marking of structs.
	Bugfix 2: Removed incompletely introduced loop variable `j' used
	when protecting the tail array of a struct.

2000-03-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* struct.h (SCM_STRUCT_DATA):  Don't cast SCM values to pointers.

2000-03-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* symbols.h, symbols.c (scm_strhash):  Declare the string
	parameter as constant, since it is not modified.

	* symbols.c (scm_intern_obarray_soft,
	scm_sysintern0_no_module_lookup):  Can now pass constant strings
	to scm_strhash without need for casting.

2000-03-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* vectors.h (SCM_VELTS, SCM_VELTS_AS_STACKITEMS):  Don't cast SCM
	values to pointers.  Use SCM2PTR instead.

2000-03-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* async.c (scm_set_tick_rate, scm_set_switch_rate):  Don't unpack
	results of SCM_INUM.

2000-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Renamed GUILE_GC_TRIGGER_1 -->
	GUILE_MIN_YIELD_1, GUILE_GC_TRIGGER_2 --> GUILE_MIN_YIELD_2.
	GUILE_MIN_YIELD_X now take *positive* fractions of heap size.

	* gc.c, gc.h (SCM_MIN_YIELD_1, SCM_MIN_YIELD_2,
	min_yield_fraction, min_yield, adjust_min_yield): Renamed from
	SCM_GC_TRIGGER_1, SCM_GC_TRIGGER_2, gc_trigger_fraction,
	gc_trigger, adjust_gc_trigger.

	* gc.c (alloc_some_heap): Further improvement of minimal heap size
	prediction.
	(SCM_MAX): New macro.
	(scm_freelist_t): New field: collected_1. Previous amount of
	collected cells.
	(gc_sweep_freelist_finish): Trigger based on two last values of
	freelist->collected to avoid unnecessary allocation due to
	temporary peaks.
	(SCM_INIT_HEAP_SIZE_1, SCM_GC_TRIGGER_1, SCM_GC_TRIGGER_2):
	Adjusted to 45000 cells, 40% and 40%.  Gives quick startup
	without extra heap allocation.

2000-03-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.h (SCM_MAKINUM):  The parameter to SCM_MAKINUM should
	already be a C value.  No need to unpack it.

	* numbers.c (scm_long_long2num):  Cast the parameter to scm_bits_t
	if we know it fits into an inum.

	* ramap.c (ramap_rp):  An scm_tc7_[ui]vect object does point to a
	field of long values.  In contrast, SCM_VELTS accesses a field of
	SCM values.

2000-03-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.c (scm_gc_stats): Inserted explanation of local_scm_mtrigger
	etc.
	(scm_gc_yield_1): New variable: Holds previous yield.  Used to
	make better judgements.
	(gc_sweep_freelist_finish): Inserted explanation of use of
	gc_trigger.

	* print.h, stacks.h, options.c, options.h: Changed C++
	commentaries to C.

2000-03-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* tags.h (SCM2PTR, PTR2SCM):  Use SCM_PACK / SCM_UNPACK correctly.

	* numbers.h (SCM_INUMP, SCM_MAKINUM, SCM_INUM0, SCM_COMPLEX_REAL,
	SCM_COMPLEX_IMAG, SCM_NUMP, SCM_BDIGITS):  Use SCM_PACK /
	SCM_UNPACK / SCM2PTR correctly.

2000-03-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.c (adjust_gc_trigger): Improved documentation.
	(alloc_some_heap): Since gc_trigger is used against
	freelist->collected, this is the value which should be used to
	predict minimum growth.

2000-03-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* eval.h:  Fix mixup of packed/unpacked SCM values.  (Thanks
	Thien-Thi Nguyen for the patch.)

2000-03-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* numbers.c (scm_ash):  Fixed typing problems with the second
	parameter and added some documentation.  (Thanks Thien-Thi Nguyen
	for indicating the problem.)

2000-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.c, gc.h (scm_gc_yield): New variable.
	(adjust_gc_trigger): Use scm_gc_yield.
	(alloc_some_heap): Use scm_gc_yield instead of
	scm_gc_cells_collected.

	* coop-threads.c: Addd #include "root.h", #include "strings.h".

	* debug.c: Added #include "root.h".  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

	* gc.c (scm_gc_for_newcell, adjust_gc_trigger): Improved GC
	trigger adjustmeant: Take yield (freed cells) for all freelists
	into account.
	(SCM_INIT_HEAP_SIZE_1, SCM_GC_TRIGGER_1, SCM_GC_TRIGGER_2): Tuned
	to 50000 cell heap with 45% trigger.
	(scm_gc_cells_collected): Reintroduced.
	(SCM_HEAP_SIZE): New macro.
	(scm_gc_sweep): Reintroduced correct computation of
	scm_cells_allocated.
	(scm_freelist_t): Corrected commentary for field `cluster_size':
	Clustersize counts objects, not cells;  New member
	`clusters_allocated'.

2000-03-19  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* *.[hc]: add Emacs magic at the end of file, to ensure GNU
 	indentation style.

2000-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* threads.h: Added #include "libguile/throw.h".  (Thanks to
	Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

2000-03-18  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* tags.h: (SCM_DOUBLE_CELLP, SCM_NDOUBLE_CELLP): new macros (bad
	names, anyone got any better ones?)

	* gc.h: (typedef struct scm_freelist_t) remove from here.

	* gc.c: (CELL_UP, CELL_DN) made these macros take additional
 	parameter (the span).
	(CLUSTER_SIZE_IN_BYTES, ALIGNMENT_SLACK) new macros.
	(typedef struct scm_freelist_t) moved here from gc.h, it had no
 	business being externally visible.
	(typedef struct scm_heap_seg_data_t) renamed from
 	scm_heap_seg_data, to be style-compliant.
	(scm_mark_locations) if the possible pointer points to a
 	double-cell, check that it's properly aligned.
	(init_heap_seg) align double-cells properly, work with the
 	assumption that the segment size divides cleanly by cluster size.
	(round_to_cluster_size) new function.
	(alloc_some_heap, make_initial_segment) use round_to_cluster_size
 	to satisfy the new init_heap_seg invariant.

2000-03-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.c, gc.h: Cleanup of the change of 2000-03-15.
	Cluster sizes are now independent of GC trigger values.
	GUILE_GC_TRIGGER_n can now specify a relative trigger value:
	A negative integer gives fraction of total heap size in percent.
	(SCM_GC_TRIGGER_1, SCM_GC_TRIGGER_2): Default values set to -40.

	* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Introduced new variable
	GUILE_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE; New environment variable names:
	GUILE_INIT_SEGMENT_SIZE_1, GUILE_GC_TRIGGER_1,
	GUILE_INIT_SEGMENT_SIZE_2, GUILE_GC_TRIGGER_2

2000-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* __scm.h (GC_FREE_SEGMENTS): Disable this until we have made
	freeing of segment work with the new GC scheme.  (Thanks to
	Michael Livshin.)  Oops, also happened to make GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME
	the default, but I'll let this change stay in CVS Guile since this
	code is not expected to contain serious bugs.

2000-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* gc.c, gc.h (scm_map_free_list): Define also if GUILE_DEBUG is
	defined.
	(scm_free_list_length): New procedure (GUILE_DEBUG).
	Fixed a small but serious bug introduced by the previous change.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Moved variable n_objects to inner sweep
	loop and declare as register.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Sigh... forgot to clear private freelists
	after GC.

Wed Mar 15 08:27:04 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* fluids.c: Docstring patch from Keisuke Nishida.  Some
	reindentation, too, and a couple formals renamed.  Should
	fluid-set! return UNSPECIFIED instead of a value?

Wed Mar 15 08:24:58 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* Makefile.am: Separate out DOT_X_FILES and DOT_DOC_FILES, and
	generate the latter from the concrete listing of the former.  Then
	make guile-procedures.txt depend on DOT_DOC_FILES instead of
	*.doc, so that rebuilding it works.

Wed Mar 15 08:12:14 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* libguile.h: Include libguile/validate.h.  Thanks Keisuke Nishida!

	* guile-snarf.awk.in: Replace docstring line-ending \n" and \n\n"
	with nothing and \n, respectively. Thanks Keisuke Nishida for
	noticing this problem.

2000-03-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* __scm.h (GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME): Define this if you want to test a
	new way of allocating heap.  It makes Guile fast, but still
	contains bugs.

	* gc.c, gc.h, pairs.h, init.c: Implementation of a new way of
	allocating heap.  The basic idea is to trigger GC every Nth
	allocated cell and grow heap when free list runs out.  The scheme
	has been extended so that GC isn't triggered until all remaining
	cells are used.  The implementation is also prepared for
	development in the direction of POSIX threads.

	* gc.c (SCM_EXPHEAP): In order to grow by a factor of 1.5,
	SCM_EXPHEAP should return half of the heap size.

2000-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	The following change to init.c is only enabled if Guile was
	configured with --enable-guile-debug.

	* init.c (scm_i_getenv_int): New function.
	(scm_boot_guile_1): Use the environment variables
	GUILE_INIT_HEAP_SIZE, GUILE_INIT_HEAP_SIZE2 to select heap size if
	they exist.  (This may be replaced by a Scheme level mechanism in
	the future.)

	* objprop.c (s_scm_set_object_property_x): Use scm_assq instead of
	scm_assoc.  (Thanks to Keisuke Nishida.)

2000-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* eval.c, lang.c, lang.h (scm_lisp_nil, scm_lisp_t): Renamed from
	scm_nil, scm_t.  (Thanks to Keisuke Nishida.)

2000-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Use same initial segment size for
	1-word and 2-word segments.  Having the smaller size causes Guile
	to GC too often.  Obviously something needs to be done to allow
	for a smaller 2-word segment without this to happen.  (The amount
	of heap for each type should be automatically adapted to the
	application somehow.)

	[Almost all of these changes should be documented in the NEWS
	file.]

	* gc.h (scm_freelist_t): New type.

	* pairs.h (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2): Use new style freelists.

	* gc.c (SCM_INIT_HEAP_SIZE): Changed from 32768 --> 40000 so that
	all of Guile basics fits into one segment and there suitable room
	for work.
	(SCM_EXPHEAP): Now takes an argument.  Grow by a factor of 1.5
	instead of 2.
	(scm_freelist, scm_freelist2): Now of type scm_freelist_t.
	Freelists now contains information about object span, cells
	collected and amount of cells in heap segments belonging to the
	list.
	(scm_heap_size, scm_gc_cells_collected): Removed.

	* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Make 2-word segment 8K (512 cells).

	* Makefile.am (libguile_la_LDFLAGS): Bumped library version
	number.

	* __scm.h eq.c, eval.c, gc.c, gc.h, gh_data, hash.c, numbers.c,
	numbers.h, objects.c, ramap.c, random.c, unif.c, unif.h: Extensive
	rewrite of handling of real and complex numbers.
	(SCM_FLOATS, SCM_SINGLES): These #ifdef conditionals have been
	removed along with the support for floats.  (Float vectors are
	still supported.)

	* tags.h (scm_tcs_bignums): Removed.
	(scm_tc16_bigpos, scm_tc16_bigneg): Replaced by scm_tc16_big.
	Use SCM_BIGSIGN(x) to test for sign!
	(scm_tc16_big): The new bignum type.
	(SCM_REAL_PART, SCM_IMAG_PART): Removed.

	* numbers.h (SCM_BIGSIGN): Sign moved to bit 16.
	(scm_makdbl): Deprecated.
	(SCM_NEWREAL, SCM_NEWCOMPLEX): New macros.
	(SCM_SINGP): Deprecated.
	(SCM_FLO): Removed.
	(SCM_INEXP, SCM_CPLXP): Deprecated.
	(SCM_INEXACTP, SCM_COMPLEXP): New macros.
	(SCM_COMPLEX_REAL, SCM_COMPLEX_IMAG): Renamed from
	SCM_REAL, SCM_IMAG (and now only valid for complex numbers).
	(SCM_REAL, SCM_IMAG): New, *deprecated*, selectors which work both
	for doubles and complex numbers.
	(SCM_REAL_VALUE): New selector for doubles.
	(scm_double_t, scm_complex_t): New types.
	(scm_dbl): Removed.

	* numbers.c (scm_floprint, scm_floequal): Removed.
	(scm_print_real, scm_print_complex, scm_real_equalp,
	scm_complex_equalp): New functions.

	* unif.c (scm_makflo): Removed.

	* smob.h (SCM_SMOB_PREDICATE): New macro.
	(SCM_NEWSMOB2, SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB2, SCM_NEWSMOB3,
	SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB3): New macros.

1999-11-21  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	The following changes implement primitive support for double cells
	(i.e. four-word cells) and change the representation of some
	things to multi-cells instead of cons+malloc.  (Applied and
	modified by mdj.)

	* pairs.h (SCM_NEWCELL2): double-cell variants of SCM_NEWCELL.
	(SCM_CELL_WORD, SCM_CELL_WORDLOC, SCM_SET_CELL_WORD): primitive
	multi-cell access macros (used by the ones below).
	(SCM_CELL_WORD[0-3], SCM_SET_CELL_WORD[0-3]): multi-cell access
 	macros.

	* gc.c (scm_freelist2): multi-cell freelists.
	(inner_map_free_list): map_free_list, parameterized on ncells.
  	"nn cells in segment mm" was misleading for ncells > 1; changed to
 	"objects".  still print cells too, though.
	(scm_map_free_list): rewritten using inner_map_free_list.
	(scm_check_freelist): get freelist as parameter, since now we have
 	more than one.
	(scm_debug_newcell2): multi-cell variants of
 	scm_debug_newcell.
	(scm_gc_for_newcell): take ncells and freelist pointer as
 	parameters.
	(scm_gc_mark): add case for tc7_pws (procedures with setters are
 	now double cells).
	(scm_gc_sweep): don't free the float data, since it's not malloced
 	anymore.
	(init_heap_seg): didn't understand what n_new_objects stood for,
 	so changed to n_new_cells.
	(make_initial_segment): new function, makes an initial segment
 	according to given ncells.
	(scm_init_storage): call make_initial_segment, for ncells={1,2,3}.

	* numbers.c (scm_makdbl): no malloc'ing needed, so the
 	{DEFER,ALLOW}_INTS thing removed.

	* numbers.h (struct scm_dbl): changed to represent a double cell,
 	with the number in the second half.

	* dynwind.c: changed the wind-guards representation to double
 	cell.

	* procs.c, procs.h: changed the procedure-with-setter representation
	to double cell.

	* async.c, async.h: made async representation a double cell.

	* dynl.c: made dynamic_obj representation a double cell.

2000-03-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* ports.c (flush_void_port): renamed to flush_port_default.
	(end_input_void_port): renamed to end_input_default.

	* init.c (scm_standard_stream_to_port): create a void port instead
	of opening /dev/null if the standard file descriptors are bad.
	advantages: no portability problems, doesn't waste a file descriptor,
	simplifies the code (thanks to Marius for the idea).

	* vports.c (s_scm_make_soft_port): call scm_port_non_buffer.

	* void ports: make reading from a void port give EOF instead of
	segv:
	* ports.c (s_scm_sys_make_void_port): modified docstring.
	(fill_input_void_port): new proc.
	(scm_init_ports): set up fill_input_void_port.
	* ports.c (scm_port_non_buffer): new proc.
	(scm_void_port): call scm_port_non_buffer.

	* fports.c (scm_setvbuf): docstring: remove the fcntl documentation
	which was incorrectly appended.

2000-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* guile-doc-snarf.in: Don't use absolute path for `sed'.  (Note
	that we can't use autoconf for this.  Autoconf itself relies on
	the existence of `sed' somewhere on your path.)  (Thanks to Dirk
	Herrman.)

2000-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Moved iselect.c here from
	EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES.

	* iselect.h: Always declare scm_internal_select.

	* iselect.c (scm_internal_select): Added SCM_ASYNC_TICK at the
	end.  Also let scm_internal_select be a real function also when
	not using threads.

	* __scm.h (SCM_TICK): Oops! Forgot to put SCM_ASYNC_TICK here...

2000-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* __scm.h (SCM_ALLOW_INTS, SCM_REALLOW_INTS): Removed call to
	SCM_ASYNC_TICK.  (This is a preparation for POSIX threads support,
	and kind of an experiment: Will this cause problems?)

Sun Mar 12 13:26:30 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* Makefile.am: Added *.doc to DISTCLEANFILES.

2000-03-12  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* fports.c (scm_fdes_to_port): call fcntl F_GETFL to test that
	the fdes is valid before doing anything else.  check that
	the file descriptor supports the modes required.
	(scm_fport_buffer_add): don't throw an error if fstat doesn't
	work: just use the default buffer size.

	* throw.c: change an outdated comment about scm_internal_catch
	BODY: it doesn't take a jumpbuf arg.

	* init.c (scm_standard_stream_to_port): install a handler in case
	scm_fdes_to_port throws an error.  don't check here whether the
	file descriptor is valid, since scm_fdes_to_port will do that.
	set the revealed count depending on whether the port got the
	standard file descriptor.
	(stream_body_data): new type.
	(stream_body, stream_handler): new procs.

2000-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* stacks.c, stacks.h, struct.c, tags.h, unif.c (scm_bits_t):
	Renamed from SCMWORD.

	* tags.h (SCM_NCELLP): Removed (SCMWORD).

	* arbiters.c (SCM_ARB_LOCKED): Use SCM_UNPACK_CAR.

	* async.c, boolean.h, debug.c, dynl.c, dynwind.c, eval.c, eval.h,
	  feature.h, filesys.h, fluids.h, fports.c, fports.h, gc.c, gc.h,
	  hash.c, keywords.h, macros.c, numbers.c, numbers.h, objects.c,
	  objects.h, options.c, pairs.h, ports.c, ports.h, print.c,
	  procs.h, ramap.c, read.c, smob.c, smob.h, srcprop.h, stacks.c,
	  stacks.h, strports.c, struct.c, struct.h, tag.c, tags.h,
	  throw.c, unif.c, unif.h, variable.h, vectors.h, weaks.c,
	  weaks.h (SCM_PACK, SCM_UNPACK, SCM_UNPACK_CAR): Renamed from
	  SCM_ASSCM, SCM_ASWORD, SCM_CARW).

	* numbers.h (SCM_SRS, SCM_INUM): Corrected SCM_ASSCM/ASWORD fixes.

	* alist.c, eval.c, net_db.c, posix.c, print.c, snarf.h, struct.c,
	tags.h: Fixed copyright notices.

	* struct.c, coop-threads.c: SCM_ASSCM/ASWORD fixes.

2000-03-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* init.c (scm_standard_stream_to_port): Check whether the file
	descriptor is valid and substitute "/dev/null" when not.

2000-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* coop-defs.h (struct timespec): Conditionally defined.

	* coop.c (coop_condition_variable_timed_wait_mutex): Use ETIMEDOUT
	instead of ETIME.

	* readline.c (match_paren): Bugfix: First arg to select is not
	number of descriptors but the number of the highest descriptor +
	1.

	This is a preliminary attempt at a cleanup of the threads support
	code.  It moves things to better places, makes arguments more
	consistent with the POSIX API (which is used in GNOME's glib), and
	adds new functionality.

	* readline.c (scm_init_readline): Added new arg to scm_init_mutex.

	* coop-defs.h (scm_mutex_trylock): New macro: alias for
	coop_mutex_trylock.
	(scm_cond_init): Changed definition to
	coop_new_condition_variable_init.

	* coop.c: #include <errno.h>
	(coop_timeout_qinsert): Moved here from iselect.c
	(coop_new_mutex_init, coop_new_condition_variable_init): New
	functions.  The strange names are temporary.  Use scm_mutex_init
	and scm_cond_init instead.
	(coop_mutex_trylock): New function.  Uses errno.h:EBUSY.  errno.h
	is ANSI C, but should we check for individual error codes in
	configure.in?
	(coop_condition_variable_timed_wait_mutex): New function.
	(coop_key_create, coop_setspecific, coop_getspecific,
	coop_key_delete): New functions.

	* iselect.c (coop_timout_qinsert): Moved to coop.c

2000-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* pairs.h (SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CAR,
	SCM_SETOR_CDR): Corrected SCM_ASSCM/WORD fixes.

	* tags.h (SCM_VOIDP_TEST): Renamed from VOIDP_TEST.
	Layout cleanups.

	* objects.h (SCM_CLASS_FLAGS, SCM_OBJ_CLASS_FLAGS,
	SCM_SET_CLASS_INSTANCE_SIZE), struct.h (SCM_STRUCT_VTABLE_DATA),
	proc.h (SCM_CLOSCAR): SCM_ASSCM/WORD fixes.

	* eval.c (scm_lookupcar1): Inserted SCM_ASWORD in expressions
	dealing with ilocs.

2000-03-11  Dale P. Smith  <dpsm@en.com>, applied by Greg J. Badros, <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

        * numbers.c (scm_copy_big_dec, scm_copy_smaller, scm_big_ior,
        scm_big_xor, scm_big_and, scm_big_test): Added new lowlevel bignum
        logical functions from SCM.

        (logand, logior, logxor, logtest, logbit?): Extended scheme
        logical functions to use bignums from SCM.

        (lognot): Removed call to `SCM_VALIDATE_INUM' that prevented
        lognot from using bignums.

Thu Mar  9 11:33:25 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* vectors.h (SCM_VELTS_AS_STACKITEMS): Added this macro to help in
	eliminating some warnings.

	* unif.c, strports.c, print.c, options.c: Fix some warnings on
 	mis-use of SCM/long

	* gc.c, gc.h: Added scm_return_first_int(), and added comment re:
 	what the scm_return_first* functions do.

2000-03-09  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>, applied by Greg J. Badros, <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

       * libguile/*.[ch]: make a distinction between SCM as a generic
       name for a Scheme object (now a void*), and SCM as 32 bit word for
       storing tags and immediates (now a long int).  Introduced
       SCM_ASWORD and SCM_ASSCM for conversion. Fixed various dubious
       code in the process: arbiter.c (use macros), unif.c (scm_array_p),

Wed Mar  8 10:15:59 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* numbers.c:  Use SCM_VALIDATE_LONG_COPY, and longs, not ints, in
	various logXXX primitives.  Thanks Eric Moore!

Tue Mar  7 08:05:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* run-test, remaining-docs-needed:  Added these scripts.  The
	second one is only temporary until the docstring additions are
	complete.   run-test may best live on, but is here mostly for
	convenience and awareness for now.

	* hash.c: Docs, minor cleanup patch from Dirk Herrman.

Thu Mar  2 16:06:58 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* error.h, error.c: Added `scm_wrong_type_arg_msg' to support
 	displaying the expected type.  Use SCM_LISTn in a couple places
	instead of scm_cons-ing by hand.

	* __scm.h: Added SCM_ASSERT_TYPE macro.

	* validate.h, scm_validate.h: Added the former, as a renamed
	version of the latter with SCM_ASSERT_TYPE used in
	SCM_MAKE_VALIDATE (instead of just SCM_ASSERT)

	* Makefile.am: Rename scm_validate.h to validate.h.

	* *.c, *.h: Include validate.h, not scm_validate.h (old name's
	prefix was superfluous).

Thu Mar  2 15:33:12 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* hashtab.c: Improved documentation for lots of functions.  Added
	handwritten docs for `hash-fold'.

Thu Mar  2 15:13:25 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* list.c: Added hand-written docs for `del{q,v,ete}1!'.

Thu Mar  2 12:38:30 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* list.c: Moved append docs to append! Thanks Dirk Hermann.  Also,
	added append docs from R4RS.

	* strings.c: Docstring typo fix, + eliminate unneeded IMP tests.
	Thanks Dirk Hermann!

	* chars.h: Provide SCM_CHARP, SCM_CHAR, SCM_MAKE_CHAR and
	deprecate SCM_ICHRP, SCM_ICHR, SCM_MAKICHR.  Thanks Dirk Hermann!

	* *.h, *.c: Use SCM_CHARP, SCM_CHAR, SCM_MAKE_CHAR throughout.
	Drop use of SCM_P for function prototypes... assume an ANSI C
	compiler.  Thanks Dirk Hermann!

Sat Feb 19 12:20:12 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* ports.c: Made `set-port-column!' and `set-port-line!' each
	return SCM_UNSPECIFIED instead of a (not-scheme-object) integer
	that caused a seg fault.  Also fixed `set-port-column!'s
	docstring.  Thanks Han-Wen Nienhuys for finding the bug!

Sun Feb 13 19:11:42 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* arbiters.c, eq.c, gc.c, guardians.c, list.c, ports.c, print.c,
	regex-posix.c, scmsigs.c, stime.c, strings.c, variable.c, stime.c,
	strings.c, variable.c:  Added lots of documentation, cleaned up
	some existing documentation.  Occasionally changed formal params
	to match docs.  Also folded an #ifdef into the inners of a
	primitive instead of having two copies of the primitive
	(`get-internal-real-time', from stime.c)

Sun Feb 13 18:12:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* ports.c: Added docs for primitives missing them.  Written by
	hand.

Sun Feb 13 09:40:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* guile-doc-snarf.in: Use ${AWK} -f guile-func-name-check, not
	just execing guile-func-name-check.  Thanks Michael Livshin!

Thu Feb 10 11:43:23 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* guile-snarf.awk.in: Tweak to work with Sun/HP awk, removed some
	dead code.  Patch from Michael Livshin.

	* guile-doc-snarf.in: Tweak to work with Sun/HP sh.  Patch from
	Michael Livshin.

2000-02-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* init.c (scm_init_standard_ports): when stdout is a tty, make the
	current-output-port unbuffered by default.  this is less confusing
	for interactive use.  it was line-buffered because of a
	performance problem with unbuffered ports, but I think it will be
	OK now.

2000-02-08  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* __scm.h: don't define long_long or ulong_long if HAVE_LONG_LONGS
	is not defined.

	* stime.c (scm_localtime, scm_mktime): if neither HAVE_TM_ZONE nor
	HAVE_TZNAME are defined, use an empty string instead of giving two
	spurious compile-time errors.

Tue Feb  8 13:57:46 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* ports.c: Doc patches from Richard Kim.  Pasted from MIT Scheme.
	Thanks Richard!

Mon Feb  7 09:07:31 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* macros.c: Doc patches from Richard Kim.  Pasted from scm.texi.

Sun Feb  6 20:26:21 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* pairs.c: Doc patches from Richard Kim.  Pasted from MIT Scheme
	(which is GNU GPL'd).

2000-01-31  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* strings.h: don't use SCM_P.  don't include <string.h>.
	* error.c, gh_data.c, ports.c, script.c, strop.c: include <string.h>.

	* strings.c (scm_string_ref): make the 2nd argument compulsory.
	previously it defaulted to zero for no good reason that I can see.
	use a local variable for SCM_INUM (k).  replace
	SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_DEF with SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_COPY.

	(scm_makfromstr): cosmetic changes.

	(scm_string): Accept only chars in the list, not strings, for
	conformance to R5RS (particularly for list->string, which is
	supposed to be the inverse of string->list.)  remove
	SCM_DEFER_INTS/SCM_ALLOW_INTS, which is unnecessary since
	scm_makstr handles the cell allocation.  when reporting wrong-type
	arg, don't report the position as 1.

	* posix.c (scm_init_posix): intern PIPE_BUF if it's defined.

2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* posix.c (scm_pipe): rewrote the docstring.

	* filesys.c (scm_select, retrieve_select_type, get_element,
	fill_select_type, set_element): modified so that Scheme
	"select" tests port buffers for the ability to provide input
	or accept output.  Previously only the underlying file descriptors
	were checked.  Rewrote the docstring.

Thu Jan 27 10:14:25 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* vectors.c, symbols.c, strorder.c: Documentation cut and pasted
 	from Gregg Reynolds.  Thanks Gregg!

Thu Jan 27 09:59:38 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* strop.c (scm_i_index): Obfuscated commented-out SCM_DEFINE by
	adding "x" prefix to the line so that guile-func-name-check
	doesn't complain unnecessarily.

Wed Jan 26 17:33:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* throw.c: Factor out an #ifdef/#else/#endif choice more finely
	for maintainability.

	* strop.c: Documentation added by Gregg A. Reynolds.   Pasted in
	from qdocs, RnRs.

Wed Jan 26 10:02:11 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* tag.c:  Added doc for `tag', but mark as deprecated since Mikael
	suggests removing tag.c altogether (and using a new `class-of'
	instead).

	* strings.c:  Added documentation from Gregg A. Reynolds.  Edited
	a bit by me to use FOO instead of @var{foo} and to have the
	summary come before preconditions on input.  Also dropped trailing
	(rnrs) note.

	* gsubr.c: Do not use SCM_DEFINE for `gsubr-apply'. Register the
 	function with scm_make_subr_opt w/ last arg of 0 so it is not
 	visible at the Scheme level. Mikael says that this is the right
 	thing because the first arg to the proc is the guts of a compiled
 	closure and shouldn't be exposed to the Scheme level.

Tue Jan 25 17:15:47 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* sort.c: typo in comment fixed.

	* keywords.c: Added documentation.

	* guardians.c: Added documentation (could be better).

	* gc.c: Added docs for gc-set-debug-check-freelist.

	* eq.c: Added docs for eq?, eqv? equal? abridged from R4RS.

	* boolean.c: Added docs for `not', `boolean?' (by hand).

Tue Jan 25 13:28:56 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* random.c: Added documentation, from SLIB page:
	http://angela.ctrl-c.liu.se/~calle/scheme/slib_toc.html

Mon Jan 24 17:50:20 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* variable.c, version.c:  Added documentation, written by hand
	since I could not find anything already written that was
	relevant.

2000-01-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* filesys.c (scm_chown): omit port/fdes support if HAVE_FCHOWN is
	not defined (thanks to Richard Y. Kim).

Thu Jan 20 13:00:38 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* Makefile.in: Removed, this is auto-generated.

Thu Jan 20 11:33:47 2000  Dirk Hermann <dirk@ida.ing.tu-bs.de> --applied 01/20/00 gjb

	* list.c: Put some variable initialization code at the point of
	declaration; Added a comment for list*; Formatting changes.

	* load.c: use SCM_NNULLP to make sure the end of a list is not
	reached yet.

2000-01-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* backtrace.c (scm_display_error_message): Bugfix: Don't use
	result of scm_list_p as C boolean.
	(scm_display_error_message, scm_set_print_params_x): Use new
	validation macros. (Thanks to Dirk Herrmann.)

	* net_db.c (scm_resolv_error): Cast result from hstrerror.

	* strports.c (st_end_input): Inserted parenthesis to get operator
	grouping correct.

	* list.h (scm_init_list): Removed SCM_P around prototypes.

	* fports.c, list.c, numbers.c, ports.c, stime.c, symbols.c,
	filesys.c, posix.c: Converted docstrings to ANSI C format and
	escaped " occurring inside string literals.

Tue Jan 18 13:21:08 2000  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@r11n07-s.pdc.kth.se>

	* posix.c (scm_mknod): Escape " occuring inside docstring.

2000-01-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* alist.c, chars.c, debug.c, dynl.c, dynwind.c, error.c, eval.c,
	   evalext.c, filesys.c, gc.c, hash.c, hashtab.c, ioext.c,
	   keywords.c, list.c, load.c, macros.c, net_db.c, numbers.c,
	   objprop.c, ports.c, posix.c, print.c, procprop.c, procs.c,
	   ramap.c, regex-posix.c, root.c, scmsigs.c, simpos.c, socket.c,
	   stacks.c, stime.c, strings.c, strop.c, strports.c, struct.c,
	   symbols.c, throw.c, unif.c, vectors.c, version.c, vports.c,
	   weaks.c: Converted docstrings to ANSI C format.

	* filesys.c (scm_chmod), simpos.c (scm_system), version
	(scm_version), vports (scm_make_soft_port): Escape " occuring
	inside docstring.

Mon Jan 17 11:41:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* scm_validate.h: Added SCM_VALIDATE_ULONG_COPY,
	SCM_VALIDATE_LONG_COPY

	* numbers.c: Use SCM_VALIDATE_ULONG_COPY, instead of
	SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_COPY to let bigger numbers be used.  Rename a
	couple of formal arguments (and fix their uses) to make arguments
	match the documentation.

2000-01-14    <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

	* Makefile.am: Augment path when running guile-doc-snarf so
	guile-func-name-check is found.

Fri Jan 14 09:34:55 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* scm_validate.h (SCM_NUM2LONG_DEF): Fix this macro to just use
	def, not SCM_MAKINUM(def);  thanks Janis Bzerins!

Wed Jan 12 00:06:53 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* net_db.c (s_scm_inet_makeaddr): Use SCM_NUM2ULONG since that's
	the way guile-1.3.4 worked, but #if 0 out the version using
	SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_COPY for stricter testing.

Tue Jan 11 18:24:18 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* guile-doc-snarf.in: Use new $fullfilename for running
	guile-func-name-check, and put "$fullfilename" and "$filename" in
	quotes at uses to make sure re-splitting on whitespace does not
	occur (so filenames w/ embedded whitespace would work okay, though
	I sure hope we never have to deal with that! :-) ).  Thanks to
	Mikael for pointing out the source_dir != build_dir was broken.

Tue Jan 11 17:42:40 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* scm_validate.h: Added SCM_NUM2LONG_DEF macro.  Make
	SCM_OUT_OF_RANGE use SCM_MAKINUM, not scm_long2num.  Added
	SCM_COERCE_ROSTRING macro.  Added SCM_VALIDATE_NONEMPTYLIST
	macro.  Fix SCM_VALIDATE_STRINGORSUBSTR macro to not use SLOPPY
	variants.

	* ports.c (scm_port_closed_p): Validate that the arg is a PORT,
	then return whether it's an open port (was validating that it was
	an open port -- this was a bug I introduced back in December, but
	my careful reading of diffs caught it).

	* numbers.c: Recombine the two conditional-compilation paths for
	all the log* primitives -- they were split based on #ifndef
	scm_long2num;  factored out a SCM_LOGOP_RETURN macro, and fixed
	some bugs and inconsistencies in the two sets of implementations.
	(scm_lognot) Fixed *atrocious* re-use of a SCM as an integer!

	* ioext.c: Use SCM_ASSERT_RANGE in a couple places, and
	SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_COPY once where it should've been used.

	* fluids.c (scm_internal_with_fluids): Use
	SCM_VALIDATE_LIST_COPYLEN.

	* filesys.c: Use SCM_NUM2LONG instead of SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_COPY;
	this is questionable as it relaxes type safety, but other changes
	were useful and all SCM_NUM2LONG's should probably be
	revisited. Use SCM_OUT_OF_RANGE, SCM_WRONG_TYPE_ARG.

	* evalext.c: line-break change on 1 line.

	* eval.c (nconc2last): Takes a non-empty list as its first
	argument, not just a list.

	* dynl.c: Use new SCM_COERCE_ROSTRING macro.

Tue Jan 11 15:44:23 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* dynl.c, feature.c, filesys.c, fports.c, list.c, load.c,
 	net_db.c, sort.c, stacks.c, unif.c: Use SCM_WTA, SCM_MISC_ERROR
 	where possible.

	* symbols.c (scm_sysintern0): Fixed the function name in a
	scm_misc_error invocation.

	* print.c (scm_simple_format): Do not need SCM_COERCE_SUBSTR, and
	use scm_return_first to ward off latent GC bug that Mikael caught.

	* async.c: Use SCM_VALIDATE_ASYNC_COPY one place where it wasn't
	used before but should've been.

2000-01-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* snarf.h (SCM_PROC1): Replaced SCM (*) (...) with
	SCM_FUNC_CAST_ARBITRARY_ARGS.

Tue Jan 11 13:44:07 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* guile-func-name-check.in: Added this script to statically check
	#define FUNC_NAME, #undef FUNC_NAME in the source.

	* sort.c, posix.c: Fix #undef FUNC_NAME lines to not have trailing
	redundant comment, semicolon; caught by new guile-func-name-check
	script.

	* debug.c: Fix mistaken #define FUNC_NAME for scm_make_iloc.
	Caught by new guile-func-name-check-script.

	* Makefile.am: Added guile-func-name-check to bin_SCRIPTS

	* ramap.c: Fix #if 0'd out code to be syntactically acceptable to
	guile-func-name-check.

	* guile-doc-snarf.in: Run guile-func-name-check on the file before
	doing the snarf.

Tue Jan 11 11:31:10 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* fports.c, ports.c, ports.h, strports.c, vports.c: Make write
 	port function take const void*, not void*.

Tue Jan 11 11:18:07 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* scm_validate.h, chars.c, ports.c, print.c, read.c, strings.c,
 	strop.c: Use SCM_VALIDATE_ICHR, SCM_VALIDATE_ICHR_COPY instead of
 	SCM_VALIDATE_CHAR, SCM_VALIDATE_CHAR_COPY.  Change made for
 	consistency with the other macros dealing with immediate
 	characters.  (Similar to INT -> INUM change a week or so ago).

Tue Jan 11 10:41:46 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* dynl.c, error.c, eval.c, feature.c, filesys.c, fports.c, list.c, load.c,
 	net_db.c, read.c, socket.c: Update error messages to use ~A for
 	%s, ~S for %S to work with new `simple-format' format and be
 	standardized better.

	* print.h, print.c (scm_simple_format): Added `simple-format'
	primitive.  It's the old scm_display_error, with ARGS now a rest
	parameter, and the destination first instead of last (and a couple
	new capabilities inspired by `format' -- #t as destination means
	current-output-port, #f means return the formatted text as a
	string.

	* gh.h, gh_data.c, ports.h, ports.c: Added some missing const specifications.

	* backtrace.c (scm_display_error_message): Rewrote to use
	scm_simple_format() procedure.

	* __scm.h: Added commented-out #define of GUILE_DEBUG_FREELIST

2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 	Finally applied the libltdl patch from Thomas Tanner, with slight
	modifications.

	* DYNAMIC-LINKING: Removed because it is obsolete.
	* dynl.c: Use ANSI prototypes.
	(sysdep_dynl_link): Use lt_dlopenext instead of lt_dlopen.
	* scmconfig.h.in: Do not change, as it is automatically generated.

    1999-07-25  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

	    * dynl-dl.c, dynl-dld.c, dynl-shl.c, dynl-vms.c: deleted
	    (obsolete)
	    * Makefile.am: likewise, add INCLTDL (libltdl headers) to
	    INCLUDES, set dlpreopened files in LDFLAGS, link libguile
	    against libltdl
	    * dynl.c: use libltdl if DYNAMIC_LINKING is enabled,
	    * guile.c: register preloaded modules
	    * scmconfig.h.in: remove obsolete symbols

2000-01-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* These changes should make it unnecessary to call tzset from
	Scheme after modifying the TZ environment variable, even if the
	system date facilities cache the value.
	* stime.c (setzone, scm_localtime): added comments.
	(tzset): don't define a noop tzset macro if HAVE_TZSET not defined.
	(setzone): don't call tzset.
	(restorezone): call tzset only if HAVE_TZSET is defined.
	(scm_tzset): don't define if HAVE_TZSET not defined.  Change the
	doc string to indicate that this procedure isn't likely to do
	anything useful.
	(scm_localtime, scm_strftime, scm_mktime): call tzset if
	LOCALTIME_CACHE is defined.

2000-01-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* posix.c (scm_sync): Return SCM_UNSPECIFIED.

2000-01-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* eval.c: define scm_unbound_variable_key ('unbound-variable).
	scm_lookupcar1: throw an error with key 'unbound-variable instead
	of 'misc-error when an unbound variable is encountered.

	* filesys.c (scm_mkdir, scm_rmdir, scm_getcwd, scm_select,
	scm_symlink, scm_readlink, scm_lstat),
	posix.c (scm_setpgid, scm_setsid, scm_ctermid, scm_tcgetpgrp,
	scm_tcsetpgrp, scm_uname, scm_setlocale, scm_mknod, scm_nice,
	scm_sync),
	simpos.c (scm_system),
	stime.c (scm_times, scm_strptime):
	move the HAVE_XXX feature tests out of the procedure bodies.
	don't use SCM_SYSMISSING.
	scm_validate.h (SCM_SYSMISSING): removed.
	error.h, error.c (scm_sysmissing): comment that this is deprecated.
	see ChangeLog entry for 1999-12-28.

Sat Jan  8 19:52:04 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* scm_validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_BOOL_COPY): Fix typo.

Sat Jan  8 17:06:46 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* backtrace.c: Fix spelling typo in a comment.

	* snarf.h: Use new SCM_DOCS macro to encapsulate the non SCM_INIT
 	text.  Reformatted some of the expansions.

Fri Jan  7 15:50:46 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* scm_validate.h (SCM_OUT_OF_RANGE): Use scm_out_of_range_pos to
	report the position of the argument.

	* error.h, error.c (scm_out_of_range_pos):  Added this function to
	take extra "pos" argument, the position number of the errant
	argument.

	* debug.c: Use SCM_OUT_OF_RANGE instead of scm_out_of_range.

	* snarf.h: Use SCM_HERE and SCM_INIT as names, not SCM_NOTSNARF
	and SCM_SNARFING.  Also put the %%% in the SCM_INIT since Mikael
	prefers that and I'm reasonably indifferent.

Fri Jan  7 15:03:32 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* snarf.h: Factor out differences between C++ and non-C++ into
	SCM_FUNC_CAST_ARBITRARY_ARGS macro.  Modify all the snarf macro
	definitions to use SCM_NOTSNARF and SCM_SNARFING macros (like
	Mikael's macros, below, but changed names and SCM_SNARFING no
	longer expands to include %%% -- that must appear in the argument
	so that the token appears at the call-site as a reminder).

2000-01-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* snarf.h (SCM_INSITU, SCM_INIT): New snarf macros for use in user
	snarf macro definitions.

2000-01-06  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* chars.c (scm_integer_to_char): Use Greg's nice
	SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_RANGE macro for argument checking for closer
	adherence to R5RS.

Thu Jan  6 11:48:49 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* *.c, snarf.h: Replace GUILE_PROC1 with SCM_DEFINE1 throughout.

Thu Jan  6 11:22:53 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): Switch to SCM_DEFINE, SCM_DEFINE1
	instead of GUILE_PROC.

Thu Jan  6 11:21:49 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* alist.c: Do not report mismatch errors on some uses of `tmp' (do
	this by using SCM_ARG2 instead of `2' in the SCM_VALIDATE_CONS
	macro call.

Thu Jan  6 09:54:33 2000  Dirk Herrmann <dirk@ida.ing.tu-bs.de> --gjb applied

	* scm_validate.h: Remove some redundant NIMP tests.

	* alist.c: minimize scope of the tmp variables, and initialize
 	them when declared. The strange SCM_NIMP tests are replaced by
 	SCM_CONSP tests that more closely reflect the intended semantics.
  	However, we don't get a performance penalty here, because the
 	SCM_CONSP test was performed by the ALISTCELL test anyway.  * The
 	extremely ugly use of ASRTGO macros was removed: The calls to
 	ASRTGO were not encapsulated by "#ifndef SCM_RECKLESS", but got a
 	label parameter that only exists when SCM_RECKLESS is not defined.
  	This works, because ASRTGO itself is defined in a way that it only
 	makes use of the label parameter if SCM_RECKLESS is not defined
 	(shudder!).  Does guile make at all use of the possibility to
 	define SCM_RECKLESS?  * Codesize is likely to be reduced, since
 	instead of two calls to SCM_ASSERT performed by the ALISTCELL test
 	we now only get one test.

	* list.c: Use SCM_NNULLP, not SCM_NIMP as appropriate.  Also use
 	SCM_NULLP instead of SCM_IMP.  Drop use of "register" keyword on
 	some variables in `list?'.  Fix `reverse' and `reverse!'
 	primitives to handle improper lists better.

Wed Jan  5 11:24:53 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* *.[ch]: Whitespace changes -- added space after SCM_VALIDATE_*
 	macros and SCM_DEFINE macros to match GNU coding standards.

Wed Jan  5 11:04:24 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* *.[ch]: Replace GUILE_PROC w/ SCM_DEFINE.

Wed Jan  5 10:59:06 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* *.[ch]:  Replace SCM_VALIDATE_INT w/ SCM_VALIDATE_INUM for
	better consistency with the names of other SCM_VALIDATE_ macros
	and better conformance to guile naming policy.

Wed Jan  5 10:50:39 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* ports.c (s_scm_close_all_ports_except): Use SCM_ARG1 in a
	SCM_VALIDATE instead of 1 to avoid a check on the argument (since
	it's not the actual name of the formal).

	* guile-snarf.awk.in: Do argument/number mismatch checking and
	print warnings in an Emacs compile-mode parseable format.

	* struct.c: Use SCM_ASSERT_RANGE instead of SCM_ASSERT w/
	SCM_OUTOFRANGE as 3rd argument.

	* random.c: Fix argument/number mismatch (that I introduced :-( ).

	* __scm.h: Do not #define SCM_ARG* when snarfing;
	lets us distinguish between 1 and SCM_ARG1 when snarfing as only
	the former (using the number) requires the argument to match the
	formal in the current argument snarfing check.

	* snarf.h: Give new definition of SCM_ASSERT when in
	snarfing mode to output a lexically-identifiable sequence that the
	guile-snarf.awk script uses to verify argument/position matching.

	* ramap.c: Remove extraneous #undef FUNC_NAME.

Wed Jan  5 08:36:38 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* guile-doc-snarf.awk.in: Removed -- guile-snarf.awk.in is the
	current version of the same functionality; it writes the .x output
	to stdout instead of directly into the file.

Wed Jan  5 08:15:04 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* unif.c, symbols.c, strings.c, stacks.c, random.c, print.c,
	posix.c:  Eliminated a bunch of SCM_NIMP(..)s that are now
	redundant with the safer macros.  Patch from Dirk Hermann applied
	by hand. Thanks Dirk!

	* scm_validate.h: Added SCM_VALIDATE_VECTOR_OR_DVECTOR for some
	uses in random.c.

	* ramap.c: whitespace change.

Tue Jan  4 14:21:35 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* options.c, objects.c, keywords.c, gc.c: Some redundant SCM_NIMP
 	removals from Dirk Hermann.

	* alist.c: Rename formals to match the parameter names in the
	documentation, updates to documentation.  Thanks Dirk Hermann!

2000-01-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Reverse order of
	scm_stack_checking_enabled_p and SCM_STACK_OVERFLOW_P
	(Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

Mon Jan  3 08:30:02 2000  Greg Harvey  <Greg.Harvey@thezone.net> (applied --01/03/00 gjb)

	* gc.c (scm_debug_newcell): Added SCM_SETCAR of the newly
	allocated cell.

	* pairs.h: Added a comment about the need for the SCM_SETCAR in
	SCM_NEWCELL macro.

Mon Jan  3 08:25:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* dynl-vms.c, debug.c, coop-threads.c, backtrace.c, eval.c: More
 	SCM_NIMP tests that were redundant are now eliminated.  Patches
 	from Dirk Hermann applied by hand.
