 156
 157         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 158         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 159         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 160         frame is invoked.
 161
 162 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 173
 174         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
 175         `interaction-evironment'.
 176         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
 177         module magic.
 178         (eval-when): New macro.
 179         (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
 180         restrict the use of these forms to the top level.

 182         top-level.

 187         (named-module-use!): New function.
 188         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level
 189         means instead.

 192

 198
 199         * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
 200         `current-error-port'.
 201
 202 2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 203
 204         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 205         operating systems.
 206
 207         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

 212         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 213         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 214         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 215
 216 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 217
 218         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 219         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 220
 221         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 222         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 223
 224         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 225         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 226
 227 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 228
 229         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 230         in C for now.
 231         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 232         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 233
 234 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 235
 236         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 237         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 238         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 239         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 240         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 241         for now.
 242         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 243         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 244
 245 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 246
 247         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 248         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 249         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 250         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 251         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 252         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 253         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 254
 255 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 256
 257         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 258         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 259
 260 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 261
 262         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 263         any more.
 264
 265 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 266
 267         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 268         the-root-module.
 269
 270 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 271
 272         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 273
 274 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 275
 276         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 277         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 278         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 279         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 280         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 281         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 282         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 283         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 284         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 285         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 286         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 287         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 288         make-shared-substring.
 289
 290 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 293         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 294         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 295         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 296         scm-style-repl.
 297
 298 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 299
 300         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 301         and open-output-pipe.
 302
 303 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 304
 305         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 306         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 307         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 308         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 309         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 310         Pirotte for the bug report).
 311         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 312         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 313
 314 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 315
 316         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

 322
 323 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 324
 325         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 326         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 327         patch.
 328
 329 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 330
 331         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 332         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 333
 334 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 335
 336         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 337         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 338         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 339
 340         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 341         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 342         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 343         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 344         actual documentation entries themselves.
 345
 346 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 347
 348         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 351
 352         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.

 357         Convert first argument to a string.
 358
 359         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 360         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 361         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 362         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 373

 375         `symbol-append'.
 376         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 377         args.
 378         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 379         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 380         even worked...  /mdj.
 381         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 382         `symbol->string'.
 383         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 384         semantics.
 385
 386 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 387
 388         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 389         form set!.
 390
 391 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 392
 393         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 394         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 395
 396 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 397
 398         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 407         Matthias Köppe.)
 408
 409 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 410
 411         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 412         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 413         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 414         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 415         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 416
 417         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 418
 419 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 420
 421         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 422         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 423
 424         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 425         syntactic bindings.
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 428         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 429         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 430         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 431
 432         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 433
 434         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 435         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 436
 437         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 438
 439         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 440         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 441
 442 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 443
 444         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 445         definition of module-type.
 446
 447         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 448
 449         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 450
 451         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 452         lines.
 453         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 454         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 455
 456 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 457
 458         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 459
 460 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 461
 462         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 463         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 464         Mikael for the suggestion.
 465
 466 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 467
 468         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 469         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 470
 471 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 472
 473         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 474         for export args.
 475
 476 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 477
 478         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 479
 480 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 481
 482         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 483         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 484         for the hint.
 485
 486         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 487         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 488         tail recursive yet.
 489
 490 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 491
 492         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 493         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 494
 495         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 496         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 497         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 498         See NEWS.
 499         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 500
 501         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 502
 503 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 504
 505         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 506         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 507
 508 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 509
 510         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 511         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 512
 513 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 514
 515         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 516         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 517
 518 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 519
 520         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 521
 522         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 523
 524         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 525
 526 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 527
 528         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 529         '() instead of #f.
 530         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 531         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 532         `the-root-module'.
 533         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 534
 535         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 536         documentation.scm.
 537
 538         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 539         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 540         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 541         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 542         (help): Rewritten.
 543
 544         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 545
 546         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 547
 548 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 549
 550         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 551         (write-all): Removed.
 552         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 553         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 554
 555 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 556
 557         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 558         `proc-documentation'
 559
 560         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 561         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 562         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 563         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 564         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 565         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 566         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 567         getter...)
 568
 569 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 570
 571         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 572
 573 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 574
 575         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 576         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 577         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 578         closure.
 579
 580 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 583         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 584         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 585         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 586         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 587         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 588         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 589
 590 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 591
 592         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 593         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 594
 595 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 596
 597         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 598         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 599
 600 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 601
 602         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 603         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 604         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 605         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 606         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 607         delete-if! when iterating.
 608
 609 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 612
 613 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 616
 617 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 618
 619         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 620         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 621         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 622         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 623
 624 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 625
 626         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 627         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 628
 629 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 630
 631         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 632         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 633         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 634         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 635
 636 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 637
 638         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 639         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 640
 641 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 642
 643         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 644         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 645
 646 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 647
 648         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 649         Dirk Hermann!
 650
 651 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 652
 653         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 654         source of the numerous very short changes.
 655
 656 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 657
 658         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 659         public.
 660
 661         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 662         info pages.
 663
 664 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 665
 666         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 667         from slib docs.
 668
 669 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 670
 671         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 672         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 673
 674 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 675
 676         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 677         to string-append.
 678
 679 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 680
 681         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 682         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 683         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 684
 685 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 686
 687         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 688         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 689         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 690         Narazaki for this change.
 691
 692 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 693
 694         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 695         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 696         %S.
 697
 698         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 699         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 700
 701 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 704         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 705
 706 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 707
 708         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 709         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 710         use define-public to export from the module.
 711
 712 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 713
 714         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 715         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 716         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 717
 718 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 719
 720         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 721
 722 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 723
 724         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 725         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 726
 727 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 728
 729         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 730
 731         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 732
 733         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 734
 735 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 738         long_long uniform vectors.
 739
 740 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 741
 742         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 743         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 744
 745 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 746
 747         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 748         script to create generated files like this one.
 749
 750 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 751
 752         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 753         available before using getpw and getuid.
 754         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 755         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 756         check for stat.
 757         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 758         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 759         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 760         available.
 761         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 762         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 763         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 764
 765         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 766         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 767
 768         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 769
 770 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 771
 772         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 773         than 'exit-debugger.
 774
 775         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 776         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 777
 778         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 779
 780 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 781
 782         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 783         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 784         ("position"): New command.
 785         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 786         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 787         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 788         to return a valid state.)
 789         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 790
 791 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 792
 793         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 794         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 795         Badros.)
 796
 797 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 798
 799         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 800         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 801
 802 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 803
 804         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 805
 806         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 807
 808         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 809         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 810

 812         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 813         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 814         expression.
 815         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 816         Handle errors.
 817
 818 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 819
 820         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 821         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 822
 823         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 824
 825 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 826
 827         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 828         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 829         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 830         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 831
 832         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 833         argument.
 834
 835         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 836         both forward and backward views of the stack
 837         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 838         Use selector `frame-number';
 839         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 840         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 841         Use (ice-9 debug).
 842         Use readline conditionally.
 843
 844 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 845
 846         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 847         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 848         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 849
 850         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 851         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 852         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 853
 854 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 855
 856         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 857
 858         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 859
 860         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 861
 862         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 863
 864 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 865
 866         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 867         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 868         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 869         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 870         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 871         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 872         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 873         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 874         libguile-config-stamp.
 875         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 876         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 877         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 878         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 879         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 880
 881 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 882
 883         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 884         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 885         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 888         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 889         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 890         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 891         readline.
 892
 893         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 894
 895 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 898
 899 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 900
 901         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 902         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 903
 904 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 905
 906         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 907         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 908         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 909         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 910         objects starting with '#/'.
 911
 912 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 913
 914         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 915         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 916         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 917         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 918         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 919         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 920         `observer-id'.
 921         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 922         module-modified): New procedures.
 923         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 924         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 925
 926 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 927
 928         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 929         defines.
 930
 931 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 932
 933         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 934         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 935         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 936
 937         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 938         position.
 939
 940 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 941
 942         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 943         at multiple calls to read.
 944         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 945         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 946         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 947         continued-lines prompt.
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 950         reading expressions.
 951
 952 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 953
 954         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 955         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 956
 957 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 958
 959         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 960         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 961         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 962
 963         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 964
 965         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 966         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 967
 968         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 969         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 970         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 971         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 972         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 973         instead of a port.
 974
 975 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 976
 977         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 978         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 979
 980         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 981
 982         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 983         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 984         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 985         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 986
 987         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 988
 989         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 990
 991         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 992         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 993         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 994         an alist.
 995
 996         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 997
 998         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 999         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1000         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1001         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1002         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1003         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1004         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1005         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1006         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1007         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1008         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1009
1010         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1011
1012         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1013         peeked from the stream.
1014         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1015         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1016         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1017
1018         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1021         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1022
1023         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1026         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1027         exiting repl with single control-D.
1028
1029         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1030
1031         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1032         error catching loop after quit received.
1033         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1034
1035         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1036         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1037         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1038
1039         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1040         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1041         boot-9.scm.
1042         * popen.scm: new file.
1043
1044 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1045
1046        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1047        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1048
1049 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1050
1051         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1052         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1053
1054 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1055
1056         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1057         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1058         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1059         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1060         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1061
1062 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1063
1064         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1065
1066         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1067         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1068
1069         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1070         Guile's module system.
1071
1072         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1073         changes:
1074         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1075         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1076         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1077         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1078         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1079         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1080         modern CL behavior.
1081         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1082         '() when the condition is false.
1083
1084 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1085
1086         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1087
1088 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1091
1092 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1093
1094         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1095         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1096         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1097
1098 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099
1100         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1101         argument order for hash-fold.
1102
1103 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1104
1105         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1106         resolve-module.
1107         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1108         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1109
1110         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1111         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1112         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1113         has been added to the load path).
1114
1115         Use try-load-module.
1116
1117 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1118
1119         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1120         module between system and user state.
1121
1122 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1125
1126         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1127         definition.
1128
1129 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1130
1131         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1132         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1133         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1134
1135 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1136
1137         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1138         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1139         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1140         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1141         stack frame encountered.
1142
1143         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1144         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1145         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1146         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1147         list).]
1148
1149         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1150         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1151         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1152         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1153         please tell me!]
1154
1155         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1156         define-module switches:
1157
1158         (define-module (foo)
1159           :no-backtrace)
1160
1161         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1162         modules.
1163
1164         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1165         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1166         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1167         module it is a system frame.
1168
1169         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1170         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1171         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1172         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1173         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1174
1175         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1176         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1177         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1178         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1179         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1180         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1183         status of a module.;
1184         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1185         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1188         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1189         closure to the module.
1190
1191         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1192
1193 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1194
1195         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1196
1197 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1198
1199         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1200
1201 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1202
1203         Fix from Russ McManus:
1204         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1205         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1206         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1207         either an optional or required value.
1208
1209 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1210
1211         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1212
1213         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1214         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1215
1216         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1217         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1218         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1219         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1220
1221 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1222
1223         * optargs.scm: New file.
1224         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1225         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1226
1227 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1228
1229         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1230         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1231         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1232
1233 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1234
1235         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1236         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1237         for isn't loaded.
1238
1239 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1240
1241         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1242
1243 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1246         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1247         applied to the module itself.
1248
1249 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1250
1251         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1252
1253         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1254         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1255
1256 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1257
1258         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1259
1260 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1261
1262         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1263
1264 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1265
1266         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1267         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1268
1269 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1272         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1273         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1274         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1275         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1276         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1277         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1278
1279 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1280
1281         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1282         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1283
1284 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1285
1286         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1287         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1288         static libraries.
1289
1290 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1291
1292         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1293
1294 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1297
1298 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1299
1300         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1301         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1302         adapt to the new hooks.
1303
1304 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1307         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1308         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1309         code.
1310         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1311         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1312
1313         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1314         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1315         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1316         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1317         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1318         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1319         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1320         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1321         first to register linked modules.
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1324         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1325         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1326
1327         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1328         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1329         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1330         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1331
1332         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1333         to use from C:
1334         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1335         libguile/feature.c.
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1338         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1339         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1340
1341 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1342
1343         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1344         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1345         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1346
1347 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1348
1349         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1350         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1351         result of the last form.
1352
1353 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1356         syncase.scm.
1357
1358         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1359
1360         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1361         readline-set!: New options interface.
1362
1363         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1364
1365 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1366
1367         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1368         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1369
1370 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1371
1372         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1373         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1374
1375 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1376
1377         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1378         interactive session.
1379         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1380
1381         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1382         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1383
1384 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1385
1386         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1387
1388 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1389
1390         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1391         read line was empty.
1392
1393 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1394
1395         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1396         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1397
1398         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1399
1400         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1401         problem.  Duh.
1402         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1403         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1404         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1405
1406         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1407         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1408         into...
1409         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1410         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1411         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1412
1413         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1414         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1415         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1416         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1417         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1418         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1419         psyntax.ss.
1420         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1421
1422         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1423         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1424
1425 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1426
1427         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1428         and short vectors #h(...).
1429
1430 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1431
1432         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1433         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1434         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1435
1436 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1437
1438         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1439         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1440         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1441
1442 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1443
1444         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1445         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1446
1447         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1448         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1449         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1450         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1451
1452 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1453
1454         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1455         trace flag.
1456
1457         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1458         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1459         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1460         context with traps enabled.
1461
1462 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1463
1464         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1465         module.
1466         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1467
1468 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1469
1470         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1471         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1472         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1473         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1474         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1475
1476 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1477
1478         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1479         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.

1481 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1482
1483         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1484
1485 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1486
1487         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1488
1489 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1490
1491         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1492
1493 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1494
1495         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1496         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1497
1498 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1499
1500         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1501         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1502         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1503         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1504         Archibald.)
1505
1506         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1507         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1508         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1509
1510 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1511
1512         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1513         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1514         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1515         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1516         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1517         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1518         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1519
1520 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1521
1522         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1523
1524 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1525
1526         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1527         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1528         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1529         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1530         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1531         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1532
1533 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1536         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1537         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1538         Steven G. Johnson.)
1539
1540 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1541
1542         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1543
1544 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1545
1546         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1547
1548 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1549
1550         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1551         be completed.
1552
1553 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1554
1555         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1556
1557 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1558
1559         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1560         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1561
1562 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1563
1564         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1565         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1566         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1567         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1568         transformer.
1569         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1570         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1571
1572 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1573
1574         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1575
1576 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1577
1578         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1579         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1580         completion.
1581
1582         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1583         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1586         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1587         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1588
1589         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1590
1591 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1592
1593         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1594
1595         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1596         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1597
1598 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1599
1600         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1601
1602 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1603
1604         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1605         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1606
1607         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1608
1609         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1610         obsolete.
1611
1612 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1613
1614         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1615         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1616
1617 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1618
1619         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1620
1621 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1622
1623         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1624         Stachowiak.)
1625
1626 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1627
1628         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1629         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1630         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1631         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1632         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1633         threads.
1634
1635 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1636
1637         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1638         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1639         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1640
1641 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1642
1643         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1644
1645         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1646         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1647
1648 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1649
1650         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1651         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1652         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1653         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1654         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1655         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1656         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1657         to go here.
1658
1659 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1660
1661         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1662         is now a fluid.
1663
1664 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1665
1666         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1667         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1668         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1669         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1670         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1671         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1672
1673 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1676         usefully so they will work from a script.
1677
1678 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1681         neighborhood of the record code.
1682
1683 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1686         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1687         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1688         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1689
1690 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1691
1692         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1693         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1694         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1695
1696 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1697
1698         Add support for readline function.
1699         * readline.scm: New module.
1700         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1701         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1702         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1703         anything.
1704         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1705         repl-reader to use them.
1706         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1707
1708         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1709
1710 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1711
1712         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1713         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1714
1715 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1716
1717         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1718         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1719         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1720
1721 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1722
1723         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1724         #f, abort terminates the process.
1725         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1726         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1727
1728 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1729
1730         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1731         print-state, throw it away.
1732
1733 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1734
1735         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1736         `0'.
1737
1738 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1741         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1742         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1743         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1744         user field).
1745         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1746         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1747
1748 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1749
1750         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1751
1752 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1753
1754         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1755         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1756         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1757         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1758         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1759         boot-9.scm.
1760         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1761         distribution and installation.
1762         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1763
1764 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1765
1766         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1767
1768 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769
1770         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1771         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1772         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1775         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1776         symbol.
1777
1778 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1779
1780         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1781
1782         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1783
1784 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1785
1786         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1787         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1788         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1789         field a separate argument.
1790
1791         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1792
1793 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1794
1795         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1796
1797         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1798         vicinity;
1799         Provide defmacro.
1800
1801 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1802
1803         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1804
1805 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1806
1807         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1808         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1809         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1810         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1811         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1812         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1813         registered.
1814         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1815         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1816         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1817         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1818         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1819         link a .so-file.
1820
1821 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1822
1823         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1824
1825 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1826
1827         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1828         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1829

1832         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1833
1834         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1835         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1836         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1837         expansion inside the slib module.
1838
1839         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1840         constructors.
1841         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1842         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1843         (let): New core form.
1844         (if): Removed from core language.
1845         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1846         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1847         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1848
1849         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1850         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1851         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1852         source.
1853         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1854         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1855         been loaded.
1856
1857 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1858
1859         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1860         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1861         `use-syntax'.
1862         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1863
1864         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1865         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1866         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1867         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1868         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1869         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1870         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1871         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1872         module.
1873         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1874
1875 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1876
1877         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1878
1879         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1880         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1881         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1882         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1883         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1884
1885         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1886         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1887         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1888         syncase macros.
1889         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1890         the syncase interface.
1891
1892 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1893
1894         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1895         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1896         workings of the current module system).
1897
1898 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1899
1900         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1901         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1902         off!
1903
1904 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1906         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1907         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

1909
1910 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1911
1912         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1913         according to the following priorities:
1914         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1915         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1916         3. tcl bindings
1917         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1918         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1919         (new-interpreter): New function.
1920
1921         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1922         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1923         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1924
1925 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1926

1932
1933 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1934
1935         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1936         procedures.

1940
1941         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1942         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1943         source!
1944
1945 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1952         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1953         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1954         in stack-ref).
1955
1956         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1957         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1958         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1959         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1960         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1961         result protocol;
1962         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1963         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1974
1975 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1976
1977         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1978         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1979         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1980
1981         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1982
1983         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1984         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1985         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

1995         cstime.
1996
1997 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1998
1999         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2000         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2001         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2002
2003         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2004         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2005         the top.
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2008         order to narrow it correctly.
2009         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2010

2013         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2014         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.

2016 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2017
2018         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2019
2020 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2021
2022         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2023         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2024
2025 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2026
2027         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2028         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2029         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2030
2031 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2032
2033         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2034         automatically.
2035
2036 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2039         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2040         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2041         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2042         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2043
2044 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2045
2046         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2047         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2048         a default of /.
2049
2050         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2051
2052 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2053
2054         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2055         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2056         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2062
2063         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2064         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2065         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2066         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2067         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2068         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2071         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2072         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2073         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2074
2075 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2076
2077         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2078         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2079         sending in bug reports.
2080         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2081         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2082         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2083         display a warning if the two are different.
2084         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2085         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2086         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2087
2088 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2089
2090         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2091
2092 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2095         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2096
2097         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2098         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2099         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2100         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2101         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2102         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2103         that's okay.
2104
2105         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2106         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2107         regexp interface.
2108
2109         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2110         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2111
2112         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2113         function names.
2114
2115         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2116         fixes.
2117
2118 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2119
2120         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2121         ../configure.in.
2122
2123 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2124
2125         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2126         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2127
2128 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2131         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2132         to support printing of structures.
2133         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2134         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2135         commented out printing code.
2136         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2137         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2138
2139 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2140
2141         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2142
2143 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2144
2145         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2146         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2147         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2148         during call to scm-style-repl.
2149
2150 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2151
2152         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2153         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2154         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2155         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2156         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2157
2158 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2159
2160         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2161         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2162         (ice-9 regex).
2163
2164 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2165
2166         * regex.scm: New file.
2167         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2168         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2170 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2171
2172         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2173         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2174         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2175         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

2178
2179         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2180         in 1997.
2181
2182 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2183
2184         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2185         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2186         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2187
2188 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2189
2190         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2191         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2192         here.
2193
2194 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2195
2196         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2197
2198 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2199
2200         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2201
2202 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2203
2204         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2205         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2206         fixes this too.
2207
2208 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2209
2210         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2211         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2212         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2213
2214 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2215
2216         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2217         the Scheme code like code yet.
2218         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2219
2220 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2223         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2224         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2225
2226 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2229         use-modules macro
2230         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2231         can't be found.
2232
2233 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2234
2235         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2236
2237 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2238
2239         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2240
2241         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2242         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2243         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2244
2245 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2246
2247         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2248         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2249         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2250
2251         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2252         no plugins.
2253         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2254         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2255
2256 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2257
2258         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2259         functions.
2260

2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2264
2265 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2266
2267         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2268         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2269
2270 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2271
2272         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2273         instead of in libguile.
2274         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2275         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2276
2277 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2280         procedures.
2281         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2282         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2283
2284 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2285
2286         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2287         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2288
2289 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2290
2291         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2292         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2293         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2294         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2295
2296 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2297
2298         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2299         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2300
2301 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2302
2303         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2304
2305 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2308         keywords and symbols.
2309
2310 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311
2312         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2313
2314         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2315         Don't define read-sharp.
2316
2317         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2318         (read-sharp): removed.
2319         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2320         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2321
2322 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323
2324         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2325
2326         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2327         primitive procedure.)
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2330         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

2333
2334         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2335
2336 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2339
2340 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2343         read gets EOF.
2344         * (exit): alias for quit.
2345
2346 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2349         return the quit args.
2350         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2351         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2352         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2353
2354         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2355
2356 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2357
2358         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2359
2360         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2361         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2362
2363         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2364         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2365
2366         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2367         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2368         of handlers.
2369
2370 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2371
2372         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2373
2374         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2375         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2376         Change hooks to use these functions.
2377
2378         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2379         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2380         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2381         the source! :-)
2382         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2383         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2384         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2385         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2386         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2387         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2388         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2389         traced.
2390
2391         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2392         and exit-frame exceptions.
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2395         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2396         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2397         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2398         result; otherwise display "> ".
2399         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2400
2401         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2402         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2403         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2404         repository version runnable.
2405
2406 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2407
2408         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2409         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2410         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2411         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2412         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2413         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2414
2415 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2416
2417         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2418         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2419         and eval.
2420         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2421         "defined?".
2422         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2423         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2424
2425 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2426
2427         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2428
2429 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2430
2431         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2432         %read-sharp layer.
2433
2434 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2435
2436         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2437         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2438
2439 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2440
2441         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2442         backtrace.c.)
2443
2444 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2445
2446         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2447         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2448
2449 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2450
2451         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2452
2453         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2454         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2455         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2456         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2457         dynamic linking of modules.
2458         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2459         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2460
2461 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2462
2463         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2464
2465 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2466
2467         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2468         that's what it is.
2469
2470         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2471         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2472         was false.
2473
2474 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2475
2476         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2477         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2478         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2479
2480 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2483         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2484         yet.
2485
2486 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2487
2488         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2489         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2490         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2491
2492 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2493
2494         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2495         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2496         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2497         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2500         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2501         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2502         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2503         (such as the-scm-module).
2504
2505 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2506
2507         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2508         %search-load-path.
2509
2510 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2511
2512         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2513         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2514         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2515

2518         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2519         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2520         function, use it accordingly.
2521
2522 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2523
2524         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2525         function of no arguments.
2526         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2527         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2528         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2529         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2530         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2531         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2532         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2533         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2534
2535 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2536
2537         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2538         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2539
2540 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2543         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2544         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2545         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2546         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2547
2548         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2549         `*features*'.
2550
2551         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2552         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2553         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2554         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2555
2556         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2557
2558         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2559
2560         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2561         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2562         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2563
2564         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2565         error.
2566
2567         Added `before-read-hook'.
2568
2569         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2570
2571         (provide): New function.
2572
2573         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2574         in backtraces.
2575
2576         (backtrace): New function.
2577
2578         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2579         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2580         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2581         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2582         is found in operator position in a frame.
2583
2584         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2585         by default.
2586
2587         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2588         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2589         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2590
2591         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2592
2593         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2594
2595         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2596
2597         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2598
2599 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2600
2601         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2602
2603         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2604         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2605
2606         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2607         so they'll get distributed.
2608
2609         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2610         should see as little clutter as possible.
2611         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2612         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2613         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2614
2615         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2616         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2617         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2618         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2619         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2620         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2621         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2622         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2623         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2624         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2625         that are not.
2626         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2627         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2628
2629         * test.scm: New file.
2630
2631         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2632         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2633         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2634
2635         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2636         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2637
2638         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2639         work now.
2640         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2641         call %load-announce.
2642
2643 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2644
2645         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2646         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2647         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2648         components.
2649         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2650
2651 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2652
2653         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2654         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2655         SCSH (which this isn't).
2656
2657 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2658
2659         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2660
2661 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2662
2663         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2664         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2665         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2666         these.
2667         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2668         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2669         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2670         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2671         save-stack.
2672
2673 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2674
2675         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2676
2677         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2678
2679         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2680         error-catching-loop.
2681         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2682         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2683         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2684
2685         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2686         error-catching-loop.
2687
2688 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2689
2690         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2691         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2692         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2693         should be '(), not #f.
2694
2695         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2696         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2697
2698 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2699
2700         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2701         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2702         error-signal.
2703
2704 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2705
2706         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2707         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2708         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2709         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2710
2711 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2712
2713         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2714
2715 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2716
2717         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2718
2719         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2720         throw-handler-default.
2721         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2722         reported.
2723         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2724         acro.
2725         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2726         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2727
2728 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2729
2730         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2731         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2732         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2733         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2734
2735 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2736
2737         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2738         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2739         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2740         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2741         ...))
2742         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2743         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2744         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2745         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2746         file-is-directory?
2747
2748 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2749
2750         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2751
2752         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2753         distribution.
2754
2755         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2756         `switch-repl'.
2757
2758         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2759
2760 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2761
2762         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2763         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2764
2765 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2766
2767         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2768
2769         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2770
2771 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2772
2773         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2774         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2775         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2776         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2777         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2778
2779         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2780         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2781         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2782         they seem redundant.
2783         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2784         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2785         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2786         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2787         directly files starting with "/").
2788         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2789         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2790
2791         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2792
2793 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2794
2795         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2796         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2797         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2798         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2799         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2800         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2801         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2802         robust to just do it in the C code.
2803
2804 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2805
2806         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2807         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2808         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2809         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2810         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2811
2812 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2815         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2816         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2817
2818 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2819
2820         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2821         system-error, not every kind of error.
2822         (scm-error): new procedure.
2823
2824 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2825
2826         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2827
2828 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2829
2830         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2831         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2832         of args are supplied.
2833         (%%system-errors): removed.
2834         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2835         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2836         %%handle-system-error.
2837         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2838         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2839         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2840         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2841
2842 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2843
2844         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2845         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2846         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2847         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2848
2849 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2850
2851         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2852         the empty list if they are #f.
2853         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2854

2860         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2861         aborting, just the key and subr.
2862         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2863         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.

2867
2868         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2869         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2870         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2871         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2872         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2904
2905         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2906         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2907         in the Makefile directly.
2908         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2909         for these.
2910         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2911         aux_files.

2948         (manifest): Deleted.
2949         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
