3 | These are grouped by release target. If you would like to suggest changes or | |
4 | contribute patches, please first email guile-devel@gnu.org to coordinate. See | |
5 | also file HACKING. | |
6 | ||
7 | ||
8 | === Eventually (not yet associated with a specific release): | |
9 | ||
10 | - deprecate `read-only-string?' | |
11 | - [after signal handling and threading have been fixed] remove the code | |
12 | corresponding to GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK and the corresponding | |
13 | GUILE_OLD_ASYNC_CLICK macro. | |
14 | - implement and integrate generational garbage collection | |
15 | - add POSIX thread support | |
16 | - factor thread support out of libguile | |
17 | - protect common resources using mutecis from the new interface | |
18 | - remove the dynamic roots | |
19 | - revise the fluid implementation | |
20 | - implement the GC thread synchronization (all threads: go to sleep!) | |
21 | - implementing the libguileposix threads glue library | |
22 | - GOOPS | |
23 | - develop better representation for GOOPS objects | |
24 | - rewrite method cache management in C | |
25 | - rewrite core macros (define-class et al) in C | |
26 | - define C API | |
27 | - write orbit CORBA interface | |
28 | - [after new module system] factor out modules sort.c and random.c should be | |
29 | factored out into separate modules | |
30 | ||
31 | === In release 1.6.0: | |
32 | ||
33 | - Make sure that the deprecation mechanism explained in INSTALL and | |
34 | README is completed and works. | |
35 | ||
36 | === In release 1.8.0: | |
37 | ||
38 | - remove deprecated "scm_*_t" type names in libguile.h. | |
39 | ||
40 | - remove re-exporting behaviour of `export'. | |
41 | in boot-9.scm, remove begin-deprecated part of `module-export!' | |
42 | in format.scm, remove kluge at top | |
43 | in srfi13.scm, likewise | |
44 | ||
45 | - remove deprecated subr and gsubr functions | |
46 | in procs.h, procs.c: scm_make_subr, scm_make_subr_opt, | |
47 | scm_make_subr_with_generic, | |

49 | ||

60 | Also remove `variable-set-name-hint' completely. | |
61 | ||
62 | - remove compatability module (ice-9 and-let*). It | |
63 | has been replaced by (ice-9 and-let-star) and/or (srfi srfi-2). | |
64 | ||
65 | - remove support for autoloading compiled-code modules: | |
66 | try-module-linked | |

82 | smob.c: scm_make_smob_type_mfpe, scm_set_smob_mfpe | |
83 | gc.c: scm_remember | |
84 | string.c: scm_makstr, scm_makfromstr | |
85 | - remove deprecated procedures: | |
86 | boot-9.scm: eval-in-module, id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, | |
87 | flags | |
88 | - remove deprecated macros: SCM_OUTOFRANGE, SCM_NALLOC, SCM_HUP_SIGNAL, | |
89 | SCM_INT_SIGNAL, SCM_FPE_SIGNAL, SCM_BUS_SIGNAL, SCM_SEGV_SIGNAL, | |
90 | SCM_ALRM_SIGNAL, SCM_GC_SIGNAL, SCM_TICK_SIGNAL, SCM_SIG_ORD, | |
91 | SCM_ORD_SIG, SCM_NUM_SIGS, SCM_SLOPPY_STRINGP, SCM_VALIDATE_STRINGORSUBSTR, | |
92 | SCM_FREEP, SCM_NFREEP, SCM_CHARS, SCM_UCHARS, SCM_VALIDATE_ROSTRING, | |
93 | SCM_VALIDATE_ROSTRING_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_NULLORROSTRING_COPY, SCM_ROLENGTH, | |
94 | SCM_LENGTH, SCM_HUGE_LENGTH, SCM_SUBSTRP, SCM_SUBSTR_STR, SCM_SUBSTR_OFFSET, | |
95 | SCM_COERCE_SUBSTR, SCM_ROSTRINGP, SCM_RWSTRINGP, SCM_VALIDATE_RWSTRING, | |
96 | SCM_ROCHARS, SCM_ROUCHARS, SCM_SETLENGTH, SCM_SETCHARS, SCM_LENGTH_MAX, | |
97 | SCM_GC8MARKP, SCM_SETGC8MARK, SCM_CLRGC8MARK, SCM_GCTYP16, SCM_GCCDR, | |
98 | SCM_SUBR_DOC, SCM_OPDIRP, SCM_VALIDATE_OPDIR, SCM_WTA, RETURN_SCM_WTA, | |
99 | SCM_WNA, SCM_FUNC_NAME, SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_COPY, | |
100 | SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_DEF_COPY, SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP, SCM_SLOPPY_NCONSP, | |
101 | SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CDR, SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETOR_CAR, | |
102 | SCM_ARRAY_CONTIGUOUS | |
103 | - remove scm_vector_set_length_x | |
104 | - remove function scm_call_catching_errors | |
105 | (replaced by catch functions from throw.[ch]) | |
106 | - remove support for "#&" reader syntax in (ice-9 optargs). | |
107 | - remove scm_make_shared_substring | |
108 | - remove scm_read_only_string_p | |
109 | - remove scm_strhash | |
110 | - remove scm_tc7_ssymbol | |
111 | - remove scm_tc7_msymbol | |
112 | - remove scm_tcs_symbols | |
113 | - remove scm_sloppy_memq, scm_sloppy_memv, scm_sloppy_member | |
114 | - consider removing the automatic loading of (ice-9 rdelim) when guile | |
115 | starts up. This would be a brave move, since a lot of code will | |
116 | assume that read-line is available by default. However it would make | |
117 | it easier to use alternative implementations of this module, e.g., a | |
118 | strictly scsh-compatible version which uses multiple values. For | |
119 | interactive use it would be easy to load the module in ~/.guile. | |
120 | - remove scm_close_all_ports_except | |
121 | - remove scm_strprint_obj | |
122 | - remove SCM_CONST_LONG | |
123 | - remove scm_wta | |
124 | - remove deprecated typedefs: long_long, ulong_long, scm_sizet | |
125 | - remove deprecated macros: scm_contregs, scm_port_rw_active, | |
126 | scm_port, scm_ptob_descriptor, scm_debug_info, scm_debug_frame, | |
127 | scm_fport, SCM_FIXNUM_BIT, scm_option, scm_subr_entry, scm_rstate, | |
128 | scm_rng, scm_i_rstate, scm_srcprops, scm_srcprops_chunk, | |
129 | scm_info_frame, scm_stack, scm_array, scm_array_dim. | |
130 | - remove deprecated functions: scm_mkbig, scm_big2num, scm_adjbig, | |
131 | scm_normbig, scm_copybig, scm_2ulong2big, scm_dbl2big, scm_big2dbl. | |
132 | - remove deprecated functions: scm_protect_object, | |
133 | scm_unprotect_object, scm_create_hook. | |
