   8         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
   9         `guile-debugger' package ...
  10
  11         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
  12         - see comment in file for more details.
  13         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
  14         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
  15         (debug-stack): New.
  16         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
  17
  18         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
  19         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
  20         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
  21         breakpoint support ...
  22
  23         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.
  24         (make-state): Extend to optionally take flags.

  27         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
  28         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
  29
  30         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  31         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
  32         execution from a breakpoint.

  45

  48
  49 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  50
  51         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
  52         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
  53         the-root-module.
  54
  55 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  56
  57         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
  58         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

  60         unmask-signals.
  61
  62 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

  68
  69         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
  70         >= 0.
  71
  72 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  73
  74         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
  75         limit the signal stack.

  78

  84
  85 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  86
  87         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so

  90

 126
 127         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

 130
 131 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 137         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 159 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 160
 161         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 162         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 163         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 164
 165         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 166

 178
 179         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 180         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 181         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 182         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 183
 184 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 185
 186         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 188         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 189         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 190         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 191
 192 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 193
 194         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 196
 197 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 198
 199         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by

 202         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 203         positions.
 204
 205 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 206
 207         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 208         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 209         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 210
 211         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 212           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
 213           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 214           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 215           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,

 217           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 218           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 219           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 220           exporting bindings.
 221
 222 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 223
 224         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 225         :re-export-syntax
 226
 227 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 228
 229         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 230         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 231         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 232         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 233
 234 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 235
 236         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 237         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 238         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 239         builtin-variable.
 240
 241 2001-09-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 244
 245 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 246
 247         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 250
 251 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 252
 253         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 254         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 255
 256 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 257
 258         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 259         the `arglist' procedure property.
 260         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 261         present a more detailed argument list.
 262
 263         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 264
 265 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 266
 267         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 268         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 269         Skarda.
 270
 271 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 272
 273         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 274
 275         (feature?): Deprecated.
 276
 277         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 278         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 279         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
 280         register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,
 281         dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 282         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 283         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 284         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
 285
 286         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 287         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.

 290         functionality.
 291
 292         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 293         needed to trick export.
 294
 295 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 296
 297         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 298
 299 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 300
 301         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 302
 303         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 304
 305 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 306
 307         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 308         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 309         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 310
 311 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 312
 313         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 314         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 315
 316 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 317
 318         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 326 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 327
 328         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 329         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 330
 331 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 332
 333         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 334
 335         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 337         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 338
 339 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 340
 341         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 342         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 343
 344 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 345
 346         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 347         compile-psyntax.scm.
 348

 350
 351         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 352         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 353         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 354         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 355         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 356
 357 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 358
 359         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 360         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 361         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 362
 363 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 364
 365         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 366         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 367
 368 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 369
 370         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 371         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 372         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 373         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 374
 375         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 376         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 377         since there aren't definitions for them.
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 380         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 381
 382 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 385         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 386
 387 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 388
 389         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 390         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 391

 393
 394         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 395         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 396         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 397

 408
 409         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 410         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 411         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 412         New.
 413
 414 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 415
 416         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 417         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 418
 419 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 420
 421         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 422         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 423
 424         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 425         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 426         evaluator trap options.)
 427
 428 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 429
 430         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 441
 442         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 443         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 444
 445 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 446
 447         * match.scm:
 448         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 449         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 450         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 451
 452         (slib:error): Delete.
 453         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 454
 455         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 456
 457         * README: New file.
 458
 459         * common-list.scm:

 463
 464 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 465
 466         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 467         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 468         rdelim) module.  See below.
 469
 470 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 471
 472         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 473         include-deprecated-features is true.
 474
 475 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 476
 477         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 478         unknown objects.
 479
 480         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 481         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 482         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 483
 484         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 485         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 486         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 487         Köppe!
 488
 489 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 490
 491         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 492         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 493         variable, not just a visible one.
 494         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 495         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 496         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 497         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 498         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 499         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 500         variables.
 501         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 502
 503         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 504         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 505
 506 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 507
 508         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 509         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 510
 511 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 512
 513         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 514
 515 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 516
 517         Added exception notice to all files.
 518
 519         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 520         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 521         importing bindings once in a while.
 522
 523 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 524
 525         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 526         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 527         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 528         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 529         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 530         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 531         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 532         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 533         message.
 534         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 535         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 536
 537 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 538
 539         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 540         fix command so that it works.
 541
 542         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 543         to access unbound variables.
 544
 545         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 546         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 547         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 548         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 549         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 550
 551 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 552
 553         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 554         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 555         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 556         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 557         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 558         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 559         argument for process-define-module.
 560         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 561         arguments for process-use-modules.
 562         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 563
 564 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 565
 566         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 567         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 568         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 569         module.
 570
 571         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 572         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 573         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 574
 575         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 576

 578
 579         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 580         to feature lists.
 581         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 582
 583 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 584
 585         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 586         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 587
 588 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 589
 590         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 591         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 592         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 593
 594 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 595
 596         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 597         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 598
 599         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 600         `display'.
 601
 602 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 603
 604         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 605         * match.scm: Likewise.
 606         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 607         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 608
 609         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 610
 611         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 612
 613         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 614         set-current-module.
 615         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 616         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 617         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 618         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 619         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 620         element list when adding "." to it.
 621         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 622         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 623
 624 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 627         cleanup; nfc.
 628         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 629         now accepts arg; update callers.
 630         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 631         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 632
 633         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 634         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 635         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 636         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 637         `search-documentation-files'.
 638         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 639         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 641
 642         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 643         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 650
 651         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 652         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
 653         (use-srfis): New procedure.
 654
 655 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

 658         used module's public interface is not available.
 659         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 660         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 661
 662 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 664         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 665
 666         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 667         the module obarray.
 668         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 669
 670         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 671         the magical undefined value.
 672         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 673         the default default for bindings.
 674
 675         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 676         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 677         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 678         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 679         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
 680         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
 681         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 682         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 683         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 684         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 685         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 686         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 687         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 688         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 689         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 690         `set-current-module' call.
 691         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 692         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 693
 694         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 695         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 724         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
 725         or a interface spec.
 726         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
 727         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 728         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 729         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 730         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 731         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 732         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 733         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 734         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
 735         `provided?'.

 761         (call-with-deprecation): Removed.
 762         (id): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of

1034         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1035         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1036
1037         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1038         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1039
1040         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1041         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1042
1043 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1044
1045         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1046         in C for now.
1047         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1048         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1049
1050 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1051
1052         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1053         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1054         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1055         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1057         for now.

1060
1061 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1062
1063         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1064         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1065         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1066         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1067         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1068         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1069         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1077
1078         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings

1080
1081 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1082

1104         make-shared-substring.
1105
1106 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1107
1108         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1109         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1110         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1111         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1112         scm-style-repl.

1119 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1120
1121         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1122         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1123         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1124         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1125         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1126         Pirotte for the bug report).
1127         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1128         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1142         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1143         patch.
1144
1145 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1146
1147         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
1148         Jacques A. Vidrine.
1149
1150 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1151
1152         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1153         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1154         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1155
1156         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1157         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1158         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1159         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1160         actual documentation entries themselves.

1162 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1163
1164         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1165
1166 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1167
1168         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1169
1170 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1171
1172         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1173         Convert first argument to a string.
1174
1175         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1176         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1177         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1178         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1179
1180         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1183
1184 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1185
1186         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1187
1188 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1189
1190         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1191         `symbol-append'.
1192         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1193         args.
1194         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1195         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1196         even worked...  /mdj.
1197         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1198         `symbol->string'.
1199         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1200         semantics.
1201
1202 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1203
1204         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1205         form set!.
1206
1207 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1208
1209         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1210         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1211

1213
1214         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1219
1220 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221
1222         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to

1226
1227         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1228         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1229         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1230         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1231         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1232
1233         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1234
1235 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1236
1237         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1238         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1239
1240         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1241         syntactic bindings.
1242
1243         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1244         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1245         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1246         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1247
1248         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1249
1250         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1251         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1252
1253         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1254
1255         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1256         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1257
1258 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1259
1260         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1261         definition of module-type.
1262
1263         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1264
1265         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1266
1267         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1268         lines.
1269         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1270         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1271
1272 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1273
1274         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1275
1276 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1277
1278         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1279         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1280         Mikael for the suggestion.
1281
1282 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1285         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1286
1287 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1288
1289         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1290         for export args.
1291
1292 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1293
1294         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1295
1296 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1297
1298         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1299         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1300         for the hint.
1301
1302         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1303         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1304         tail recursive yet.
1305
1306 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1307
1308         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1309         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1312         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1313         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1314         See NEWS.
1315         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1316
1317         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1318
1319 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1320
1321         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1322         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1323
1324 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1325
1326         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1327         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1328
1329 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1330
1331         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1332         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1333
1334 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1335
1336         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1337
1338         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1339
1340         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1341
1342 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1343
1344         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1345         '() instead of #f.
1346         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1347         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1348         `the-root-module'.
1349         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1350
1351         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1352         documentation.scm.
1353
1354         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1355         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1356         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1357         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1358         (help): Rewritten.
1359
1360         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1361
1362         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1363
1364 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1365
1366         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1367         (write-all): Removed.
1368         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1369         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1370
1371 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1372
1373         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1374         `proc-documentation'
1375
1376         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1377         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1378         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1379         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1380         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1381         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1382         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1383         getter...)
1384
1385 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1386
1387         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1388
1389 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1390
1391         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1392         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1393         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1394         closure.
1395
1396 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1399         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1400         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1401         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1402         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1403         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1404         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1405
1406 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1409         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1410
1411 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1412
1413         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1414         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1415
1416 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1417
1418         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1419         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1420         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1421         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1422         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1423         delete-if! when iterating.
1424
1425 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1426
1427         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1428
1429 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1430
1431         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1432
1433 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1434
1435         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1436         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1437         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1438         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1439
1440 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1441
1442         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1443         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1444
1445 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1446
1447         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1448         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1449         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1450         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1451
1452 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1453
1454         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1455         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1456
1457 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1458
1459         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1460         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1461
1462 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1463
1464         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1465         Dirk Hermann!
1466
1467 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1468
1469         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1470         source of the numerous very short changes.
1471
1472 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1473
1474         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1475         public.
1476
1477         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1478         info pages.
1479
1480 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1481
1482         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1483         from slib docs.
1484
1485 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1486
1487         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1488         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1489
1490 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1491
1492         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1493         to string-append.
1494
1495 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1496
1497         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1498         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1499         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1500
1501 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1502
1503         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1504         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1505         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1506         Narazaki for this change.

1508 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1511         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1512         %S.
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1515         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1516
1517 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1520         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.

1522 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1523

1529
1530         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1531         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1532         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

1540         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1541         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1542
1543 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1544
1545         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1548
1549         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1550
1551 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

1556 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1557
1558         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1559         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1560
1561 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1562
1563         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1564         script to create generated files like this one.
1565
1566 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1567
1568         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1569         available before using getpw and getuid.
1570         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1571         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1572         check for stat.
1573         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1574         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1575         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1576         available.
1577         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1578         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1579         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1580
1581         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1582         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1583
1584         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1585
1586 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1589         than 'exit-debugger.
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1592         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1593
1594         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1595
1596 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1597
1598         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";

1606
1607 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1608
1609         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the

1611         Badros.)
1612
1613 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1614
1615         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1616         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1617
1618 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1619
1620         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1635
1636         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

1638
1639         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1640
1641 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1642
1643         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1644         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1645         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1646         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1647
1648         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1649         argument.
1650
1651         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1652         both forward and backward views of the stack
1653         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1654         Use selector `frame-number';
1655         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1656         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1657         Use (ice-9 debug).

1660 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1661
1662         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1663         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1664         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1665
1666         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1667         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1668         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1669
1670 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1671
1672         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1673
1674         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1675
1676         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1677
1678         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1679
1680 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1681
1682         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1683         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1684         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1685         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1686         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1687         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1688         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1689         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1690         libguile-config-stamp.
1691         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1692         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1693         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1694         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1695         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1696
1697 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1698
1699         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1700         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1701         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1702
1703         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1704         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1705         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1706         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1707         readline.
1708
1709         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1710
1711 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1712
1713         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1714
1715 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1716
1717         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1718         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1719
1720 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1721
1722         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1723         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1724         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1725         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1726         objects starting with '#/'.
1727
1728 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1729
1730         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1731         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1732         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1733         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1734         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1735         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1736         `observer-id'.
1737         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1738         module-modified): New procedures.
1739         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1740         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1741
1742 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1743
1744         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1745         defines.
1746
1747 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1748
1749         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1750         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1751         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1754         position.
1755
1756 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1757
1758         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1759         at multiple calls to read.
1760         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1761         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1762         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1763         continued-lines prompt.
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1766         reading expressions.
1767
1768 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1769
1770         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1771         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1772
1773 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1774
1775         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1776         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1777         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1778
1779         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1780
1781         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1782         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1783
1784         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1785         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1786         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1787         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1788         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1789         instead of a port.
1790
1791 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1792
1793         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1794         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1795
1796         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1797
1798         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1799         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1800         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1801         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1802
1803         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1804
1805         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1806
1807         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1808         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1809         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1810         an alist.
1811
1812         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1813
1814         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1815         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1816         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1817         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1818         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1819         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1820         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1821         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1822         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1823         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1824         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1825
1826         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1827
1828         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1829         peeked from the stream.
1830         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1831         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1832         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1833
1834         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1835
1836         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1837         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1838
1839         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1840
1841         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1842         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1843         exiting repl with single control-D.
1844
1845         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1846
1847         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1848         error catching loop after quit received.
1849         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1850
1851         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1852         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1853         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1854
1855         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1856         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1857         boot-9.scm.
1858         * popen.scm: new file.
1859
1860 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1861
1862        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1863        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1864
1865 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1866
1867         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1868         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1869
1870 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1871
1872         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1873         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1874         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1875         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1876         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1877
1878 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1879
1880         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1881
1882         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1883         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1884
1885         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1886         Guile's module system.
1887
1888         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1889         changes:
1890         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1891         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1892         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1893         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1894         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1895         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1896         modern CL behavior.
1897         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1898         '() when the condition is false.
1899
1900 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1901
1902         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1903
1904 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1905
1906         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1907
1908 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1911         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1912         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1913
1914 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1915
1916         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1917         argument order for hash-fold.
1918
1919 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1920
1921         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1922         resolve-module.
1923         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1924         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1925
1926         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1927         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1928         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1929         has been added to the load path).
1930
1931         Use try-load-module.
1932
1933 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1934
1935         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1936         module between system and user state.
1937
1938 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1939
1940         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1941
1942         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1943         definition.
1944
1945 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1948         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1949         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1950
1951 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1952
1953         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1954         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1955         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1956         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1957         stack frame encountered.
1958
1959         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1960         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1961         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1962         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1963         list).]
1964
1965         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1966         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1967         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1968         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1969         please tell me!]
1970
1971         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1972         define-module switches:
1973
1974         (define-module (foo)
1975           :no-backtrace)
1976
1977         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1978         modules.
1979
1980         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1981         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1982         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1983         module it is a system frame.
1984
1985         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1986         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1987         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1988         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1989         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1990
1991         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1992         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1993         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1994         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1995         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1996         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1997
1998         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1999         status of a module.;
2000         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2001         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2002
2003         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2004         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2005         closure to the module.
2006
2007         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2008
2009 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2010

2016
2017 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2018
2019         Fix from Russ McManus:
2020         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2021         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2022         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2023         either an optional or required value.
2024
2025 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2026
2027         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2028
2029         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2030         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2031
2032         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2033         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2034         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2035         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2036
2037 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2038
2039         * optargs.scm: New file.
2040         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2041         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2042
2043 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2044
2045         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2046         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2047         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2048
2049 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2050
2051         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2052         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2053         for isn't loaded.
2054
2055 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2056
2057         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2058
2059 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2060
2061         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2062         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2063         applied to the module itself.
2064
2065 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2066
2067         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2068
2069         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2070         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2071
2072 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2073
2074         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2079
2080 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2081
2082         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2083         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2084
2085 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2086
2087         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2088         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2089         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2090         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2091         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2092         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2093         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2094
2095 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2096
2097         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2098         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2099
2100 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2101
2102         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2103         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2104         static libraries.
2105
2106 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2107
2108         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2109
2110 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2111
2112         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2113
2114 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2115
2116         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2117         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2118         adapt to the new hooks.
2119
2120 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2121
2122         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2123         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2124         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2125         code.
2126         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2127         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2128
2129         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2130         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2131         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2132         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2133         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2134         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2135         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2136         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2137         first to register linked modules.
2138
2139         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2140         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2141         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2142
2143         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2144         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2145         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2146         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2149         to use from C:
2150         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2151         libguile/feature.c.
2152
2153         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2154         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2155         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2156
2157 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2158
2159         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2160         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2161         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2162
2163 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2164
2165         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2166         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2167         result of the last form.
2168
2169 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2170
2171         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2172         syncase.scm.
2173
2174         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2175
2176         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2177         readline-set!: New options interface.
2178
2179         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2180
2181 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2184         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2185
2186 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2187
2188         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2189         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2190
2191 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2194         interactive session.
2195         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2196
2197         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2198         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2199
2200 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2201
2202         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2203
2204 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2205
2206         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2207         read line was empty.
2208
2209 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2212         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2213
2214         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2215
2216         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2217         problem.  Duh.
2218         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2219         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2220         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2221
2222         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2223         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2224         into...
2225         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2226         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2227         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2228
2229         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2230         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2231         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2232         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2233         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2234         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2235         psyntax.ss.
2236         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2237
2238         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2239         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2240
2241 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2242
2243         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2244         and short vectors #h(...).
2245
2246 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2247
2248         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2249         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2250         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2251
2252 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2253
2254         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2255         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2256         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2257
2258 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2259
2260         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2261         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2262
2263         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2264         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2265         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2266         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2267
2268 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2269
2270         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2271         trace flag.
2272
2273         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2274         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2275         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2276         context with traps enabled.
2277
2278 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2279
2280         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2281         module.
2282         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2283
2284 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2285
2286         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2287         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2288         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2289         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2290         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2291
2292 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2293
2294         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2295         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2296
2297 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2298
2299         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2300
2301 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2302
2303         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2304
2305 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2306
2307         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2308
2309 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2310
2311         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2312         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2313
2314 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2315
2316         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2317         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2318         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2319         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2320         Archibald.)
2321
2322         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2323         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2324         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2325
2326 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2327
2328         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2329         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2330         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2331         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2332         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2333         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2334         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2335
2336 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2339
2340 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2343         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2344         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2345         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2346         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2347         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2348
2349 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2350
2351         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2352         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2353         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2354         Steven G. Johnson.)
2355
2356 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2357
2358         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2359
2360 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2361
2362         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2363
2364 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2365
2366         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2367         be completed.
2368
2369 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2370
2371         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2372
2373 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2374
2375         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2376         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2377
2378 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2379
2380         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2381         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2382         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2383         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2384         transformer.
2385         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2386         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2387
2388 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2389
2390         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2391
2392 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2393
2394         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2395         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2396         completion.
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2399         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2400
2401         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2402         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2403         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2404
2405         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2406
2407 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2408
2409         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2410
2411         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2412         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2413
2414 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2415
2416         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2417
2418 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2419
2420         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2421         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2422
2423         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2424
2425         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2426         obsolete.
2427
2428 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2429
2430         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2431         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2432
2433 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2436
2437 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2438
2439         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2440         Stachowiak.)
2441
2442 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2443
2444         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2445         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2446         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2447         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2448         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2449         threads.
2450
2451 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2452
2453         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2454         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2455         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2456
2457 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2458
2459         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2460
2461         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2462         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2463
2464 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2467         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2468         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2469         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2470         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2471         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2472         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2473         to go here.
2474
2475 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2476
2477         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2478         is now a fluid.
2479
2480 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2483         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2484         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2485         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2486         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2487         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2488
2489 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2490
2491         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2492         usefully so they will work from a script.
2493
2494 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2495
2496         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2497         neighborhood of the record code.
2498
2499 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2502         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2503         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2504         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2505
2506 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2507
2508         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2509         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2510         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2511
2512 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2513
2514         Add support for readline function.
2515         * readline.scm: New module.
2516         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2517         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2518         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2519         anything.
2520         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2521         repl-reader to use them.
2522         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2523
2524         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2525
2526 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2527
2528         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2529         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2530
2531 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2532
2533         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2534         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2535         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2536
2537 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2538
2539         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2540         #f, abort terminates the process.
2541         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2542         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2543
2544 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2545
2546         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2547         print-state, throw it away.
2548
2549 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2550
2551         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2552         `0'.
2553
2554 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2555
2556         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2557         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2558         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2559         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2560         user field).
2561         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2562         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2563
2564 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2567

2569
2570         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2571         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2572         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2573         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2574         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2575         boot-9.scm.
2576         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2577         distribution and installation.
2578         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2579

2583
2584 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2585
2586         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2587         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2588         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2589
2590         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2591         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2592         symbol.
2593
2594 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.

2602         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2603         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2604         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2605         field a separate argument.
2606
2607         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2608
2609 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2610
2611         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2612
2613         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2614         vicinity;
2615         Provide defmacro.
2616
2617 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2622
2623         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2624         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2625         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2626         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2627         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2628         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2629         registered.
2630         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2631         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2632         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2633         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2634         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2635         link a .so-file.
2636

2643         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2644         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2645
2646 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2647
2648         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2649
2650         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2651         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2652         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2653         expansion inside the slib module.
2654
2655         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2656         constructors.

2663         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2664
2665         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2666         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2667         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2668         source.
2669         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2670         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2671         been loaded.
2672
2673 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2682         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2683         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2684         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2685         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2686         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2687         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2688         module.
2689         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2690
2691 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2692
2693         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2694
2695         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2696         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2697         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2698         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2699         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2700
2701         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2702         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2703         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2704         syncase macros.
2705         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2706         the syncase interface.
2707
2708 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2709
2710         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2711         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2712         workings of the current module system).
2713
2714 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2715
2716         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2717         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2718         off!
2719

2727
2728         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2729         according to the following priorities:
2730         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2731         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2732         3. tcl bindings
2733         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2734         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2735         (new-interpreter): New function.
2736
2737         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2738         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2739         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2756
2757         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2758         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2759         source!
2760
2761 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2768         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2769         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2770         in stack-ref).
2771
2772         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2773         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2774         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2775         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2776         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2777         result protocol;

2792
2793         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2794         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2795         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2796
2797         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2798
2799         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2814
2815         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2816         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2817         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2818
2819         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2820         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2821         the top.
2822
2823         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2824         order to narrow it correctly.

2841 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2842
2843         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2844         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2845         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

2878
2879         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2880         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2881         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2882         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2883         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2884         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2885
2886         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2887         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2888         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2889         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2890
2891 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2892
2893         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2894         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2895         sending in bug reports.
2896         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2897         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2898         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2899         display a warning if the two are different.
2900         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2901         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.

2908 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2909
2910         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2911         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2912
2913         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2914         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2915         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2916         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2917         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2918         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2919         that's okay.
2920
2921         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2922         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2923         regexp interface.
2924
2925         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2926         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2927
2928         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2929         function names.
2930
2931         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2932         fixes.
2933
2934 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2935
2936         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2937         ../configure.in.
2938
2939 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2940
2941         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2942         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2943
2944 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2945
2946         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2947         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2948         to support printing of structures.
2949         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2950         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2951         commented out printing code.
2952         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2953         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2954
2955 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2956
2957         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2958
2959 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2960
2961         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2962         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2963         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2964         during call to scm-style-repl.
2965
2966 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2967
2968         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2969         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2970         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2971         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2972         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2973
2974 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2975
2976         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2977         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2978         (ice-9 regex).
2979
2980 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2981
2982         * regex.scm: New file.
2983         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2984         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2985
2986 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2987
2988         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2989         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2990         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2991         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2992
2993 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2994
2995         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2996         in 1997.
2997
2998 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2999
3000         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3001         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3002         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3003
3004 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3007         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3008         here.
3009
3010 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3011
3012         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3013
3014 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3015
3016         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3017
3018 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3019
3020         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3021         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3022         fixes this too.
3023
3024 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3025
3026         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3027         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3028         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3029
3030 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3031
3032         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3033         the Scheme code like code yet.
3034         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3035
3036 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3037
3038         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3039         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3040         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3041
3042 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3043
3044         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3045         use-modules macro
3046         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3047         can't be found.
3048
3049 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3050
3051         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3052
3053 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3054
3055         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3056
3057         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3058         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3059         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3060
3061 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3062
3063         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3064         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3065         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3066
3067         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3068         no plugins.
3069         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3070         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3071
3072 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3073
3074         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3075         functions.
3076
3077 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3078
3079         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3080
3081 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3082
3083         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3084         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3085
3086 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3087
3088         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3089         instead of in libguile.
3090         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3091         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3092
3093 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3094
3095         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3096         procedures.
3097         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3098         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3099
3100 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3101
3102         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3103         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3104
3105 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3106
3107         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3108         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3109         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3110         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3111
3112 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3113
3114         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3115         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3116
3117 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3118
3119         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3120
3121 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3122
3123         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3124         keywords and symbols.
3125
3126 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3127
3128         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3129
3130         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3131         Don't define read-sharp.
3132
3133         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3134         (read-sharp): removed.
3135         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3136         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3137
3138 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3139
3140         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3141
3142         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3143         primitive procedure.)
3144
3145         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3146         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3147
3148 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3149
3150         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3151
3152 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3153
3154         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3155
3156 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3157
3158         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3159         read gets EOF.
3160         * (exit): alias for quit.
3161
3162 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3163
3164         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3165         return the quit args.
3166         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3167         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3168         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3169
3170         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3171
3172 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3173
3174         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3175
3176         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3177         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3178
3179         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3180         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3181
3182         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3183         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3184         of handlers.
3185
3186 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3187
3188         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3189
3190         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3191         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3192         Change hooks to use these functions.
3193
3194         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3195         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3196         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3197         the source! :-)
3198         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3199         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3200         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3201         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3202         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3203         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3204         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3205         traced.
3206
3207         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3208         and exit-frame exceptions.
3209
3210         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3211         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3212         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3213         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3214         result; otherwise display "> ".
3215         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3216
3217         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3218         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3219         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3220         repository version runnable.
3221
3222 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3223
3224         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3225         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3226         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3227         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3228         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3229         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3230
3231 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3232
3233         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3234         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3235         and eval.
3236         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3237         "defined?".
3238         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3239         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3240
3241 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3242
3243         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3244
3245 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3246
3247         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3248         %read-sharp layer.
3249
3250 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3251
3252         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3253         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3254
3255 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3256
3257         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3258         backtrace.c.)
3259
3260 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3261
3262         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3263         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3264
3265 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3266
3267         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3268
3269         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3270         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3271         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3272         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3273         dynamic linking of modules.
3274         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3275         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3276
3277 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3278
3279         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3280
3281 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3282
3283         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3284         that's what it is.
3285
3286         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3287         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3288         was false.
3289
3290 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3291
3292         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3293         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3294         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3295
3296 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3297
3298         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3299         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3300         yet.
3301
3302 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3303
3304         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3305         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3306         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3307
3308 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3309
3310         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3311         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3312         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3313         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3314
3315         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3316         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3317         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3318         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3319         (such as the-scm-module).
3320
3321 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3322
3323         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3324         %search-load-path.
3325
3326 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3327
3328         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3329         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3330         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3331
3332 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3333
3334         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3335         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3336         function, use it accordingly.
3337
3338 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3339
3340         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3341         function of no arguments.
3342         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3343         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3344         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3345         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3346         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3347         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3348         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3349         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3350
3351 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3352
3353         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3354         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3355
3356 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3357
3358         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3359         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3360         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3361         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3362         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3363
3364         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3365         `*features*'.
3366
3367         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3368         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3369         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3370         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3371
3372         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3373
3374         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3375
3376         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3377         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3378         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3379
3380         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3381         error.
3382
3383         Added `before-read-hook'.
3384
3385         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3386
3387         (provide): New function.
3388
3389         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3390         in backtraces.
3391
3392         (backtrace): New function.
3393
3394         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3395         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3396         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3397         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3398         is found in operator position in a frame.
3399
3400         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3401         by default.
3402
3403         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3404         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3405         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3406
3407         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3408
3409         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3410
3411         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3412
3413         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3414
3415 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3416
3417         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3418
3419         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3420         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3421
3422         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3423         so they'll get distributed.
3424
3425         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3426         should see as little clutter as possible.
3427         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3428         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3429         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3430
3431         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3432         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3433         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3434         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3435         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3436         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3437         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3438         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3439         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3440         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3441         that are not.
3442         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3443         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3444
3445         * test.scm: New file.
3446
3447         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3448         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3449         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3450
3451         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3452         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3453
3454         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3455         work now.
3456         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3457         call %load-announce.
3458
3459 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3460
3461         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3462         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3463         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3464         components.
3465         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3466
3467 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3468
3469         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3470         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3471         SCSH (which this isn't).
3472
3473 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3474
3475         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3476
3477 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3478
3479         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3480         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3481         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3482         these.
3483         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3484         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3485         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3486         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3487         save-stack.
3488
3489 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3490
3491         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3492
3493         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3494
3495         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3496         error-catching-loop.
3497         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3498         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3499         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3500
3501         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3502         error-catching-loop.
3503
3504 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3505
3506         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3507         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3508         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3509         should be '(), not #f.
3510
3511         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3512         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3513
3514 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3515
3516         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3517         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3518         error-signal.
3519
3520 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3521
3522         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3523         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3524         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3525         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3526
3527 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3528
3529         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3530
3531 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3532
3533         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3534
3535         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3536         throw-handler-default.
3537         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3538         reported.
3539         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3540         acro.
3541         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3542         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3543
3544 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3545
3546         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3547         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3548         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3549         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3550
3551 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3552
3553         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3554         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3555         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3556         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3557         ...))
3558         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3559         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3560         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3561         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3562         file-is-directory?
3563
3564 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3565
3566         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3567
3568         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3569         distribution.
3570
3571         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3572         `switch-repl'.
3573
3574         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3575
3576 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3577
3578         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3579         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3580
3581 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3582
3583         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3584
3585         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3586
3587 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3588
3589         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3590         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3591         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3592         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3593         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3594
3595         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3596         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3597         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3598         they seem redundant.
3599         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3600         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3601         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3602         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3603         directly files starting with "/").
3604         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3605         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3606
3607         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

3610
3611         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3612         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3613         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3614         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3615         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3616         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3617         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3618         robust to just do it in the C code.

3621
3622         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3623         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3624         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3625         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3626         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

3631         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3632         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).

3634 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3635
3636         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3637         system-error, not every kind of error.
3638         (scm-error): new procedure.

3645
3646         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3647         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3648         of args are supplied.
3649         (%%system-errors): removed.
3650         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3651         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3652         %%handle-system-error.
3653         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3654         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3655         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3656         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3657
3658 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3659
3660         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3661         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3662         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3663         %S (embed an argument using "write").

3669         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3670
3671 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3672
3673         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3674
3675         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3676         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3677         aborting, just the key and subr.
3678         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3679         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3680         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

3683
3684         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3685         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3686         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3687         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3688         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3701         initialize %load-path.
3702
3703         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3704         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3705

3720
3721         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3722         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3723         in the Makefile directly.
3724         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3725         for these.
3726         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and

3764         (manifest): Deleted.
