   2
   3         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
   4         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
   5         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
   6         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
   7
   8 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
   9
  10         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
  11         Append "." to the default %load-path.
  12         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
  13         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
  14         ...))
  15         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
  16         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
  17         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
  18         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
  19         file-is-directory?
  20
  21 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  22
  23         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
  24
  25         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
  26         distribution.
  27
  28         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
  29         `switch-repl'.
  30
  31         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
  32
  33 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  34
  35         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
  36         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
  37
  38 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  39
  40         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
  41
  42         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
  43
  44 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  45
  46         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
  47         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
  48         Don't set up 'error as a key.
  49         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
  50         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
  51
  52 *       (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
  53         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
  54         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
  55         they seem redundant.
  56         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
  57 *       (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
  58         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
  59         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
  60         directly files starting with "/").
  61         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
  62         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
  63
  64         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
  65
  66 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
  69         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
  70         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
  71         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
  72         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
  73         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
  74         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
  75         robust to just do it in the C code.
  76
  77 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
  80         %try-load itself was the primitive.
  81         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
  82         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
  83         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
  84
  85 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  86
  87         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
  88         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
  89         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
  90
  91 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  92
  93         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
  94         system-error, not every kind of error.
  95         (scm-error): new procedure.
  96
  97 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  98
  99         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 100
 101 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 102
 103         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 104         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 105         of args are supplied.
 106         (%%system-errors): removed.
 107         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 108         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 109         %%handle-system-error.
 110         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 111         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 112         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 113         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 114
 115 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 118         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 119         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 120         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 121
 122 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 123
 124         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 125         the empty list if they are #f.
 126         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 127
 128 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 129
 130         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 131
 132         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 133         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 134         aborting, just the key and subr.
 135         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 136         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 137         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 138
 139 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 142         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 143         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 144         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 145         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 146
 147 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 150         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 151         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 152         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 153
 154 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 155
 156         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 157         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 158         initialize %load-path.
 159
 160         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 161         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 162
 163 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 166         Add the directory named after the version number.
 167         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 168         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 169         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 170         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 171         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

 175
 176 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 177
 178         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 179         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 180         in the Makefile directly.
 181         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 182         for these.
 183         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 184         aux_files.
 185         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 186         here, where people expect to find them.

 194
 195 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 196
 197         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 198         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
 199

 216         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
 217
 218 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 219
 220         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
 221         (manifest): Deleted.
 222         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

 226
 227         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
 228         now that they throw errors directly.
 229         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
 230         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
 231
 232 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 233
