   1 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
   4         neighborhood of the record code.
   5
   6 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
   9         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
  10         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
  11         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
  12
  13 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  14
  15         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
  16         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
  17         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  18
  19 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  20
  21         Add support for readline function.
  22         * readline.scm: New module.
  23         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
  24         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
  25         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
  26         anything.
  27         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
  28         repl-reader to use them.
  29         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
  30
  31         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
  32
  33 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  34
  35         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
  36         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
  37
  38 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  39
  40         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
  41         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
  42         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
  43
  44 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  45
  46         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
  47         #f, abort terminates the process.
  48         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
  49         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
  50
  51 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  52
  53         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
  54         print-state, throw it away.
  55
  56 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
  59         `0'.
  60
  61 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
  64         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
  65         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
  66         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
  67         user field).
  68         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
  69         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
  70
  71 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  72
  73         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
  74
  75 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  76
  77         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
  78         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
  79         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
  80         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
  81         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
  82         boot-9.scm.
  83         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
  84         distribution and installation.
  85         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  86
  87 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  88
  89         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
  90
  91 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  92
  93         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
  94         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
  95         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
  96
  97         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
  98         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
  99         symbol.
 100
 101 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 102
 103         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 104
 105         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 106
 107 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 108
 109         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 110         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 111         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 112         field a separate argument.
 113
 114         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 115
 116 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 117
 118         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 119
 120         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 121         vicinity;
 122         Provide defmacro.
 123
 124 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 129
 130         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 131         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 132         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 133         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 134         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 135         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 136         registered.
 137         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 138         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 139         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 140         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 141         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 142         link a .so-file.
 143
 144 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 152
 153 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 154
 155 *       * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 156
 157         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 158         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 159         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 160         expansion inside the slib module.
 161
 162         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 163         constructors.

 171
 172         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 173         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 174         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 175         source.
 176         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 177         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 178         been loaded.
 179
 180 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 181
 182         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 183         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 184         `use-syntax'.

 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 188         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 189         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 190         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 191         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 192         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 193         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 194 *       (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 195         module.
 196         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 197
 198 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 199
 200         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 201
 202         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 203         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 204         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 205         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 206         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 207
 208         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 209         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 210         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 211         syncase macros.
 212         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 213         the syncase interface.
 214
 215 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 216
 217         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 218         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 219         workings of the current module system).
 220
 221 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 224         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 225         off!
 226
 227 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 228
 229         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 230         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 231         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 232
 233 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 234
 235         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 236         according to the following priorities:
 237         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 238         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 239         3. tcl bindings
 240         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 241         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 242         (new-interpreter): New function.
 243
 244         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 245         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 246         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 247
 248 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 257
 258         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 259         procedures.

 263
 264         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 265         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 266         source!
 267
 268 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 269
 270         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

 276         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 277         in stack-ref).
 278
 279         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 280         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 281         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 282         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 283         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 284         result protocol;
 285         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 286         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

 299
 300         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 301         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 302         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 303
 304         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

 321
 322         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 323         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value

 325
 326         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 327         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 328         the top.
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 331         order to narrow it correctly.

 348 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 349
 350         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 351         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 352         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 353
 354 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 355

 359 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 360
 361         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 362         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 363         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 364         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 365         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 366
 367 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 368
 369         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 370         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 371         a default of /.
 372
 373         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 374
 375 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 376
 377         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 378         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 379         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 380
 381         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 382         make-regexp.
 383
 384 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 385
 386         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 387         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 388         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 389         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 390         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 391         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 392
 393         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 394         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 395         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 396         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 397
 398 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 399
 400         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 401         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 402         sending in bug reports.
 403         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 404         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 405         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 406         display a warning if the two are different.
 407         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 408         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 409         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 410
 411 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 412
 413         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 414
 415 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 416
 417         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 418         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 419
 420         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 421         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 422         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 423         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 424         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 425         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 426         that's okay.
 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 429         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 430         regexp interface.
 431
 432         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 433         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 434
 435         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 436         function names.
 437
 438         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 439         fixes.
 440
 441 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 442
 443         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 444         ../configure.in.
 445
 446 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 449         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 450
 451 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 454         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 455         to support printing of structures.
 456         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 457         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 458         commented out printing code.
 459         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 460         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 461
 462 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 463
 464         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 465
 466 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 467
 468         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 469         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 470         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 471         during call to scm-style-repl.
 472
 473 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 474
 475         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 476         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 477         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 478         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 479         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 480
 481 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 482
 483         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 484         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 485         (ice-9 regex).
 486
 487 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 488
 489         * regex.scm: New file.
 490         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 491         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 492
 493 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 494
 495         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 496         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 497         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 498         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 500 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 501
 502         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 503         in 1997.
 504
 505 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 506
 507         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 508         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 509         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 510
 511 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 512
 513         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 514         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 515         here.
 516
 517 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 518
 519         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 520
 521 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 522
 523         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 524
 525 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 526
 527         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 528         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 529         fixes this too.
 530
 531 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 532
 533         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 534         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 535         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 536
 537 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 538
 539         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 540         the Scheme code like code yet.
 541         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 542
 543 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 544
 545         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 546         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 547         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 548
 549 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 550
 551         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 552         use-modules macro
 553         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 554         can't be found.
 555
 556 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 557
 558         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 559
 560 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 561
 562         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 563
 564         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 565         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 566         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 567
 568 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 569
 570         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 571         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 572         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 573
 574         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 575         no plugins.
 576         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 577         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 578
 579 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 580
 581         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 582         functions.
 583
 584 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 585
 586         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 587
 588 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 589
 590         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 591         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 592
 593 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 596         instead of in libguile.
 597         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 598         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 599
 600 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 603         procedures.
 604         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 605         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 606
 607 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 608
 609         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 610         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 611
 612 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 613
 614         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 615         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 616         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 617         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 618
 619 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 620
 621         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 622         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 623
 624 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 627
 628 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 631         keywords and symbols.
 632
 633 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 634
 635         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 636
 637         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 638         Don't define read-sharp.
 639
 640         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 641         (read-sharp): removed.
 642         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 643         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 644
 645 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 648
 649         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 650         primitive procedure.)
 651
 652         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 653         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
 654
 655 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 656
 657         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 658
 659 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 660
 661         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 662
 663 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 664
 665         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 666         read gets EOF.
 667         * (exit): alias for quit.
 668
 669 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 670
 671         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 672         return the quit args.
 673         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 674         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 675         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 676
 677         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 678
 679 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 680
 681         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 682
 683         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 684         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 685
 686         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 687         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 688
 689         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 690         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 691         of handlers.
 692
 693 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 694
 695         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 698         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 699         Change hooks to use these functions.
 700
 701         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 702         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 703         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 704         the source! :-)
 705         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 706         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 707         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 708         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 709         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 710         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 711         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 712         traced.
 713
 714         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 715         and exit-frame exceptions.
 716
 717         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 718         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 719         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 720         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 721         result; otherwise display "> ".
 722         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 723
 724         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 725         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 726         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 727         repository version runnable.
 728
 729 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 730
 731         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 732         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 733         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 734         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 735         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 736         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 737
 738 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 739
 740         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 741         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 742         and eval.
 743         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 744         "defined?".
 745         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 746         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 747
 748 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 749
 750         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 751
 752 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 753
 754         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 755         %read-sharp layer.
 756
 757 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 758
 759         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 760         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 761
 762 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 763
 764         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 765         backtrace.c.)
 766
 767 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 770         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 771
 772 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 773
 774         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 775
 776         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 777         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 778         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 779         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 780         dynamic linking of modules.
 781         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 782         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 783
 784 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 785
 786         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 787
 788 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 789
 790         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 791         that's what it is.
 792
 793         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 794         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 795         was false.
 796
 797 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 798
 799         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 800         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 801         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 802
 803 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 804
 805         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 806         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 807         yet.
 808
 809 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 812         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 813         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 814
 815 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 816
 817         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 818         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 819         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 820         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 821
 822         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 823         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 824         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 825         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 826         (such as the-scm-module).
 827
 828 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 829
 830         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 831         %search-load-path.
 832
 833 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 834
 835         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 836         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 837         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 838
 839 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 842         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 843         function, use it accordingly.
 844
 845 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 846
 847         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 848         function of no arguments.
 849         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 850         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 851         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 852         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 853         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 854         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 855         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 856         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 857
 858 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 859
 860         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 861         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 862
 863 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 864
 865         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 866         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 867         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 868         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 869         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 870
 871         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 872         `*features*'.
 873
 874         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 875         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 876         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 877         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 878
 879         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 880
 881         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 882
 883         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 884         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 885         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 886
 887         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 888         error.
 889
 890         Added `before-read-hook'.
 891
 892         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 893
 894         (provide): New function.
 895
 896         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 897         in backtraces.
 898
 899         (backtrace): New function.
 900
 901         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 902         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 903         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 904         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 905         is found in operator position in a frame.
 906
 907         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 908         by default.
 909
 910         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 911         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 912         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 913
 914         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 915
 916         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 917
 918         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 919
 920         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 921
 922 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 923
 924         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 925
 926         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 927         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 928
 929         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 930         so they'll get distributed.
 931
 932         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 933         should see as little clutter as possible.
 934         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 935         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 936         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 937
 938         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 939         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 940         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 941         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 942         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 943         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 944         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 945         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 946         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 947         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 948         that are not.
 949         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 950         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 951
 952         * test.scm: New file.
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 955         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 956         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 957
 958         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 959         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 960
 961         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 962         work now.
 963         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 964         call %load-announce.
 965
 966 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 967
 968         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 969         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 970         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 971         components.
 972         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 973
 974 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 975
 976         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 977         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 978         SCSH (which this isn't).
 979
 980 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 981
 982         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 983
 984 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 987         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 988         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 989         these.
 990         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 991         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 992         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 993         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 994         save-stack.
 995
 996 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 997
 998         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 999
1000         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1001
1002         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1003         error-catching-loop.
1004         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1005         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1006         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1007
1008         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1009         error-catching-loop.
1010
1011 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1012
1013         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1014         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1015         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1016         should be '(), not #f.
1017
1018         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1019         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1020
1021 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1024         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1025         error-signal.
1026
1027 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1030         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1031         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1032         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1033
1034 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1035
1036         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1037
1038 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1039
1040         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1041
1042         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1043         throw-handler-default.
1044         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1045         reported.
1046         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1047         acro.
1048         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1049         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1050
1051 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1052
1053         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1054         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1055         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1056         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1057
1058 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1059
1060         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1061         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1062         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1063         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1064         ...))
1065         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1066         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1067         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1068         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before

1072
1073         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1074
1075         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1076         distribution.
1077
1078         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1079         `switch-repl'.
1080
1081         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1082
1083 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1084
1085         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1086         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1087
1088 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1093
1094 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1097         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1098         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1099         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1100         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1101
1102         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1103         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1104         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1105         they seem redundant.
1106         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1107         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1108         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1109         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1110         directly files starting with "/").
1111         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1112         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1113
1114         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1115
1116 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1117
1118         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1119         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1120         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1121         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1122         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1123         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1124         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1125         robust to just do it in the C code.
1126
1127 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1128
1129         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1130         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1131         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1132         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1133         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1134
1135 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1136
1137         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1138         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1139         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1140
1141 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1144         system-error, not every kind of error.
1145         (scm-error): new procedure.
1146
1147 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1148
1149         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1150
1151 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1154         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1155         of args are supplied.
1156         (%%system-errors): removed.
1157         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1158         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1159         %%handle-system-error.
1160         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1161         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1162         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1163         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1164
1165 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1166
1167         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1168         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1169         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1170         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1171
1172 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1175         the empty list if they are #f.
1176         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1177
1178 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1179
1180         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1183         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1184         aborting, just the key and subr.
1185         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1186         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1187         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1188

1190
1191         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1192         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1193         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1194         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1195         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1196
1197 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1200         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1201         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1202         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1203
1204 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1207         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1208         initialize %load-path.
1209
1210         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1211         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1212
1213 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1216         Add the directory named after the version number.
1217         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1218         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1219         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1220         sitedatadir): New definitions.

1226 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1227
1228         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1229         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1230         in the Makefile directly.
1231         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1232         for these.
1233         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1234         aux_files.

1246
1247         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1248         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

1265         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1266         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

1271         (manifest): Deleted.
1272         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

1274
1275 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1276
1277         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1278         now that they throw errors directly.
1279         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1280         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1281
