[bpt/guile.git] / libguile / ChangeLog

2005-03-02  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	Big merge from the mvo-thread-cleanup branch. The main changes
	are:
	
	- The dynamic roots functionality has been split into dynamic
	  states and continuations barriers.  Fluids have been
	  reimplemented and can now be garbage collected.
	
	- Initialization of Guile now works in a multi-thread friendly
	  manner.  Threads can freely enter and leave guile mode.

	- Blocking on mutexes or condition variables or while selecting
	  can now be reliably interrupted via system asyncs.

	- The low-level threading interface has been removed.

	- Signals are delivered via a pipe to a dedicated 'signal delivery
	  thread'.
	
	- SCM_DEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS etc have been deprecated.

	* throw.c (scm_handle_by_message): Exit only the current thread,
	not the whole process.

2005-02-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	* gh.h: Bugfix: Include <libguile.h> outside of the extern "C"
	block.

2005-02-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	so that no two weak alist vectors share a spine.
	(scm_hash_fn_create_handle_x): Deal with a possible rehashing
	during GC before inserting the new alist cell.

2005-02-23  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* hashtab.c (scm_i_rehash): Cope with the case that a GC modifies
	the hashtable.

	* unif.c (prototype_to_type): Bugfix: Don't compare prototype to
	the prototypical examples mentioned in the old reference manual.
	Instead keep the old semantics of dispatching on type.  (Yes, this
	is extremely ugly, but the whole point of keeping the deprecated
	interface is not to break old code.)

2005-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	* deprecated.h (SCM_ARRAY_DIMS): Rename scm_i_attay_dims -->
	scm_i_array_dims.

2005-01-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* numbers.c (scm_ash): Rewrite using shifts, much faster than
	integer-expt and multiply/divide.  Inexacts and fractions no longer
	supported (they happened to work before for left shifts, but not
	right).  Don't really need inexacts and fractions, since ash is
	documented as a "bitwise operation", and all the rest of those only
	take exact integers.

2005-01-27  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

	* gc-card.c (scm_i_card_statistics): map structs, closures and

	statistics on the number of live objects of each type.

	(scm_i_card_statistics): new function. 

2005-01-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* posix.c (scm_setlocale): Force errno=EINVAL for an error, since
	POSIX and C99 don't document errno being set.  Reported by Bruno
	Haible.
	(scm_flock): Update docstring from manual.

	* random.c (scm_i_init_rstate): Compare w to -1 not 0xffffffffUL, now
	that it's an scm_t_int32.  Otherwise gcc 3.4 says it's always false on
	a 64-bit system.

	* scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Use scm_to_long for
	sa_handler, needs to be a long on 64-bit systems where int is only 32
	bits.

	scm_class_complex, scm_class_integer, scm_class_fraction,
	scm_class_unknown, scm_port_class, scm_smob_class,
	scm_no_applicable_method, scm_class_of): Moved from objects to
	goops since they are only useable once goops has been loaded.
	(scm_classes_initialized): Removed.
	(scm_class_of): Do not check it.
	(create_standard_classes): Do not set it.
	
2005-01-17  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

2005-01-14  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	its value.

	Implement u64 and s64 uniform numeric vectors with bignums when

	and replaced with inline code that simply calls the ref/set

	arrays is now SCM_UNSPECIFIED.  The old special value SCM_BOOL_F

2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	Enclosed arrays are now their own smob.  This has been done to
	make the code more explicit about them and to prepare for the time
	when generalized vectors include arbitrary one-dimensional
	arrays. (Uptonow, enclosed arrays have been recognized by their
	use of an array as their storage 'vector'.  When all generalized
	vectors are allowed as storage, including one-dimensional arrays,
	this will no longer work.)
	
	* unif.h, unif.c: (scm_tc16_enclosed_array, SCM_ENCLOSED_ARRAYP):

	(scm_array_set_x, scm_uniform_array_read_x,
	scm_uniform_array_write): Handle enclosed arrays explicitly.

	Added "a" and "b" for strings and bitvectors, resp.
	(scm_i_tag_to_prototype, scm_i_tag_to_creator): Renamed former to
	latter.  Tag "a" is in the table now, no need to handle it as a
	legacy tag.
	(scm_raprin1): Just call scm_iprin1.
	(scm_array_creator, scm_array_prototype): Handle enclosed arrays
	explicitly.

	* ramap.c (cind): Changed second arg to be pointer to long instead

	(scm_array_index_map_x): Likewise.

	* unif.c: Changed all uses of scm_array_prototype to
	scm_array_creator. (scm_i_get_old_prototype): Signal error when no
	prototype is known.
	(scm_uniform_array_read_x, scm_uniform_array_write): Reimplemented

	vector.
	(scm_i_legacy_tag): Removed.
	(scm_i_print_array): Do it here.
	(scm_raprin1): Only print enclosed arrays.

	* Makefile.am (DOT_DOC_FILES): Added srfi-4.doc.

	* srfi-4.c (make_uvec): Use SCM_I_SIZE_MAX instead of SIZE_MAX for
	added portability.

	* chars.c (scm_charnames, scm_charnums): Added "sp" as an alias
	for "space".  Thanks to Bruce Korb!

	* rw.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): Bugfix, apply offset to dest
	only after dest has been set.  Thanks to Hyper Division!

	* gh_data.c (gh_uniform_vector_length): Use
	scm_uniform_vector_length instead of SCM_UVECTOR_LENGTH.
