2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        Merged from mvo-vcell-cleanup-1-branch.

        The concept of vcells has been removed from Guile.  With it,
        explicit obarrays and associated operations are gone.  Use
        hashtables instead of obarrays.

        Throughout: use scm_sym2var instead of scm_sym2vcell and treat
        result as variable instead of vcell.  Glocs no longer point to a
        vcell but to a variable.  Use scm_c_define instead of
        scm_sysintern and treat the result as a variable (which it is),
        not a vcell.

        * variable.c, variable.h (SCM_VARVCELL, SCM_UDVARIABLEP,
        SCM_DEFVARIABLEP): Deprecated.
        (SCM_VARIABLE_REF, SCM_VARIABLE_SET, SCM_VARIABLE_LOC): New.

        (scm_make_variable, scm_make_undefined_variable): Do not take name
        hint parameter.
        (scm_variable_ref): Check for SCM_UNDEFINED and throw "unbound"
        error in that case.
        (scm_builtin_variable): Deprecated.

        * symbols.c, symbols.h (scm_sym2vcell, scm_sym2ovcell_soft,
        scm_sym2ovcell, scm_intern_obarray_soft, scm_intern_obarray,
        scm_intern, scm_intern0, scm_sysintern0_no_module_lookup,

        SCM_GLOBAL_VCELL_INIT): Deprecated.
        (SCM_VARIABLE, SCM_GLOBAL_VARIABLE, SCM_VARIABLE_INIT,
        SCM_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_INIT): New, as replacement.  Changed all uses.

        * print.c (scm_iprin1): Use scm_module_reverse_lookup instead of
        SCM_GLOC_SYM.

        * evalext.c, filesys.c, fports.c, gdbint.c, gh_data.c, gsubr.c,
        hooks.c, load.c, numbers.c, objects.c, ports.c, posix.c, procs.c,
        ramap.c, random.c, read.c, regex-posix.c, scmsigs.c, script.c,

        Changed according to the `throughout' comments.

        try_module_autoload, module_make_local_var_x): Tacked on "_var"
        suffix.  Now point to variables instead of vcells.  Updated all
        uses.
        (scm_module_lookup_closure): Deal with the module being SCM_BOOL_F
        and return SCM_BOOL_F in that case.
        (scm_module_transformer): Likewise.
        (sym_module, scm_lookup_closure_module, scm_env_module): New.
        (SCM_F_EVAL_CLOSURE_INTERFACE, SCM_EVAL_CLOSURE_INTERFACE_P): New.

        * init.c (scm_load_startup_files): Do not call
        scm_post_boot_init_modules.  This is done by
        scm_set_current_module now.
        (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_modules_prehistory.  Call
        scm_init_variable early on.

        * goops.c (s_scm_sys_goops_loaded): Get
        var_compute_applicable_methods from scm_sym2var, not from a direct
        invocation of scm_goops_lookup_closure.

        * gh_funcs.c (gh_define): Return SCM_UNSPECIFIED instead of vcell.

        * gc.c: Added simple debugging hack to mark phase of GC: When

        backtraces.
        (scm_unhash_name): Removed.

        * feature.c (features): Renamed to features_var.  Now points to a

        * eval.c (scm_lookupcar, scm_lookupcar1): Deal with variables
        instead of with vcells.  Do not overwrite `var' with the result of

        exchange (which was only used with threads).
        (sym_three_question_marks): New.
        (scm_unmemocar): Use `scm_module_reverse_lookup' instead of

        symbol instead.
        (scm_unmemocopy): Removed thoughts about anti-macro interface.
        (scm_eval_args): Use more explicit code in the gloc branch of the
        atrocious struct ambiguity test.  The optimizer will sort this
        out.
        (scm_deval_args): Likewise.
        (SCM_CEVAL): Likewise.  Also, do not use unmemocar, explicitely
        remember the symbol instead.  Added some comments where
        scm_tc3_cons_gloc really exclusively refers to structs.
        (scm_init_eval): Use scm_define to initialize "nil" and "t" to
        scm_lisp_nil and scm_lisp_t, respectively.  Use scm_define instead
        of scm_sysintern in general.

        * dynwind.c (scm_swap_bindings): Use SCM_GLOC_SET_VAL instead of
        explicit magic.

        * debug.c (s_scm_make_gloc): Only allow proper variables, no
        pairs.  Put the variable directly in the gloc.
        (s_scm_gloc_p): Use `scm_tc3_cons_gloc' instead of the magic `1'.
        (scm_init_debug): Use scm_c_define instead scm_sysintern.

        * cpp_cnvt.awk: Emit "scm_c_define" instead of "scm_sysintern".

        * backtrace.h, backtrace.c (scm_the_last_stack_fluid): Renamed to
        scm_the_last_stack_fluid_var.  It now points to a variable instead
        of a vcell.  Updated all uses.

        instead of a vcell.  Updated all uses.

        * _scm.h: Include "variables.h" and "modules.h" since almost
        everybody needs them now.

        * root.h (scm_symhash, scm_symhash_vars): Removed.
        * gc.c (scm_init_storage): Do not initialize them.

        (scm_init_storage):  Moved initialization of scm_undefineds and
        scm_listofnull to eval.c, initializion of scm_nullstr to
        strings.c, initializion of scm_nullvect to vectors.c.

        * gc.h (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Prefer SCM_NULLP over
        SCM_IMP, as in scm_debug_newcell and scm_debug_newcell2.

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1):  Reordered some initializations and
        added dependcy information comments.

        * load.c (scm_init_load):  Use scm_nullstr.

        * strings.c (scm_init_strings):  Initialize scm_nullstr.

        * vectors.c (scm_init_vectors):  Initialize scm_nullvect.

        * eval.c (scm_i_eval): Copy expression before passing it to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (scm_init_gc):  Initalize scm_tc16_allocated.

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

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

        (SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE):  New macro.

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

        (SCM_SET_FREE_CELL_TYPE):  Removed.  It was not used.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Remove redundant type checks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (scm_hash_fn_ref):  Use proper type check.

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

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

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

        * ports.h (SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG):  New macro.

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

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

        * smob.c (scm_markcdr):  Don't access smob cells as pairs.

        * tags.h (SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP, SCM_SLOPPY_NCONSP):  Deprecated.

        * throw.c (ACTIVATEJB, DEACTIVATEJB):  Don't access jump buffer
        cells as pairs.

        * variable.c (variable_print, variable_equalp, scm_variable_ref,
        scm_variable_set_x):  Use proper macros to access variable cell
        elements.

        (scm_variable_bound_p):  Don't use SCM_NEGATE_BOOL.

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

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

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

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

2001-03-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * values.h (scm_values_vtable, SCM_VALUESP): Moved here so that
        eval.c can use it.
        (scm_call_with_values): Removed.
        * values.c (values_vtable, scm_values_vtable): Added "scm_" prefix
        so that it can be exported.
        (scm_call_with_values): Removed.

        * tags.h (SCM_IM_CALL_WITH_VALUES): New isym.

        not already defined.

2001-03-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * coop.c: Inserted #include <stdio.h>.

2001-03-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * ports.c (scm_port_column): Docstring fixes: (i) port-line arg is

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

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

        * hash.c (scm_string_hash): Don't downcase characters.

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

2001-03-07  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * Makefile.am (*.x): Add dependency on snarf.h and guile-doc-snarf.in.
        (*.doc): Add dependency on guile-snarf.awk.in.

        * guile-snarf.awk.in: Neglect spaces at the end of
        SCM_SNARF_DOCSTRING_END.  Skip lines "# NN ..." in the
        middle of docstrings.  (To avoid the problem with gcc-2.96.)

        scm_struct_ref, scm_struct_set_x):  Don't use SCM_ASSERT to
        (potentially) issue a scm-misc-error or wrong-num-args error
        message.

        * load.c (scm_search_path):  Use SCM_ASSERT_TYPE to give details
        about the expected type with the wrong-type-arg error message.

        * smob.c (scm_make_smob):  Abort on misuse of smob - it indicates
        a C level bug that can't be fixed from scheme anyway.

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

        * eval.c (scm_m_letstar): Removed check for duplicate bindings.
        Duplicate bindings are OK in a let* since a let* is semantically
        equivalent to a nested set of let:s.

2001-03-05  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_options): Fixed texinfo in docstring.

        * net_db.c (scm_getserv, scm_getproto, scm_getnet): Return #f if
        the underlying functions getservent, getprotoent or getnetent
        return NULL instead of signalling an error.

2001-03-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * socket.c (scm_fill_sockaddr): don't allow buffer overflows when
        taking an unexpectedly large filename for an AF_UNIX socket from
        bind/connect/sendto (thanks to Martin Grabmueller).

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

        instead.

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

        * goops.c (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): New procedure.

        (scm_c_improper_memq): New function.
        (scm_m_lambda): Check for duplicate arguments.
        (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When executing a body: only cons a new
        toplevel environment frame when it is different from the
        existing one; use EVALCAR instead of SIDEVAL so that we can properly
        check for empty combinations; use SCM_EVALIM2 for the same reason
        in the non-toplevel loop.
        (nontoplevel_cdrxnoap, nontoplevel_cdrxbegin, nontoplevel_begin):
        New labels with the meaning of their non-"nontoplevel" partners,
        but they are used when it is known that the body is not evaluated at
        top-level.
        (scm_apply, scm_dapply): use SCM_EVALIM2 to get proper error
        reporting for empty combinations.

        scm_i_eval.
        (make_class_from_template): Do not bother to set the current
        module around the call to DEFVAR, scm_eval takes care of that.
        (scm_init_goops): Make scm_module_goops and
        scm_goops_lookup_closure permanent objects.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When evaluating expressions on
        top level, create a fresh top-level environment for each
        expression instead of mutating the exisint frame.  This is
        important when that frame is closed over.

        * numbers.c (s_scm_logior) [SCM_DIGSTOOBIG]: Also use
        SCM_DIGSPERLONG instead of DIGSPERLONG.

2001-02-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Check for wrong number of args

        macro.  The argument is expanded more than one time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

        names to better reflect their meaning.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Recognize when `begin' is being
        evaluated at top-level and synronize lookup closure before
        executing every subform.
        (scm_primitve_eval_x, scm_primitive_eval): New functions.
        (scm_eval_x, scm_eval): Reimplement in terms of

2001-02-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * modules.h (scm_selected_module, scm_current_module): Renamed
        scm_selected_module to scm_current_module to synchronize Scheme
        and C names.
        (scm_select_module, scm_set_current_module): Likewise.  Changed
        all uses.

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

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

        checking of the size parameter for type correctness and valid
        range.  Thanks to Rob Browning for reporting the problem.  Instead
        of deferring interrupts, scm_remember_upto_here_1 is used.

        SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):  Moved to numbers.h.

        (SCM_CHAR_BIT, SCM_LONG_BIT):  Moved here from numbers.h.

        * numbers.h (SCM_CHAR_BIT, SCM_LONG_BIT):  Moved to __scm.h.

        (SCM_FIXNUM_BIT, SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM,
        SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):  Moved here from __scm.h.

        * __scm.h (SCM_FIXNUM_BIT):  Added.  The name is chosen in analogy
        to the names in limits.h.

        * numbers.c (abs_most_negative_fixnum):  Added.

        (scm_quotient, scm_remainder):  Fixed the fixnum-min / (abs
        fixnum-min) special case.

        (scm_big_and):  Fix for negative first parameter.

        (scm_bit_extract):  Fix for fixnum paramters.
        Thanks to Rob Browning for the bug report.

        (scm_init_numbers):  Initialize abs_most_negative_fixnum.

        * symbols.c (scm_symbol_bound_p):  Fixed comment.
        Thanks to Chris Cramer.

2001-01-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * smob.[ch] (scm_make_smob_type):  Return type is scm_bits_t now.

        from Matthias Köppe:

        * objects.h (SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER): new macro.  SCM_ENTITY_SETTER
        casts its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.

        * goops.c (s_scm_sys_set_object_setter_x): use
        SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER.
        (clear_method_cache): use SCM_SET_ENTITY_PROCEDURE.

        * gc.h (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_BVEC): new macro.  SCM_GC_CARD_BVEC casts
        its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.
        (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS): ditto for SCM_GC_GET_CARD_FLAGS.
        (SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): redefined in terms of
        SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS.
        (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAG, SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): ditto.

        * gc.c (INIT_CARD): use the explicit setter macro to set the bvec.

2001-01-08  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY): new macro.
        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial, scm_read_delimited_x),
        socket.c (scm_recvfrom): use the new macro, plus minor docstring
        changes.
        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): don't crash if -1 is supplied
        for fdes.  if current input port is used, check that it's a file
        port.

2001-01-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): new procedure, implements
        read-string!/partial.
        * ports.c (scm_take_from_input_buffers): new procedure used by
        scm_read_string_x_partial.
        (scm_drain_input): use scm_take_from_input_buffers.

2001-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER): New.

2001-01-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * guardians.c (F_GREEDY, F_LISTED, F_DESTROYED, GREEDY_P,
        SET_GREEDY, LISTED_P, SET_LISTED, CLR_LISTED, DESTROYED_P,
        SET_DESTROYED): new defines/macros.
        (GUARDIAN_LIVE, GUARDIAN_ZOMBIES, GUARDIAN_NEXT): deleted.
        (add_to_live_list): takes a `guardian_t *' now, not SCM.
        (guardian_print): print more info.
        (guardian_apply): check if the guardian is destroyed, and throw an
        error if so.  take one more optional argument `throw_p'.
        (scm_guard): depending on the value of `throw_p', return a boolean
        result.
        (scm_get_one_zombie): remove redundant property test.
        (guardian_t): represent the various (currently 3, I hope nothing
        more gets added) boolean fields as bit flags.
        (scm_guardian_destroyed_p, scm_guardian_greedy_p): new predicates.
        (scm_destroy_guardian_x): new procedure.

        * guardians.h: added prototypes for `scm_guardian_greedy_p' and
        `scm_guardian_destroyed_p'.  changed prototype for `scm_guard'.

2001-01-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * fports.c (fport_write): bugfix: handle short writes for
        unbuffered ports too.  optimize the buffered case by minimizing
        the number of write/flush calls.
        (write_all): new helper procedure.
