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,

	   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.
