2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * arbiters.c (FETCH_STORE): New macro.
        (SCM_LOCK_VAL, SCM_UNLOCK_VAL): New constants.
        (SCM_LOCK_ARB, SCM_UNLOCK_ARB): Remove, effectively absorbed into
        scm_try_arbiter and scm_release_arbiter.
        (scm_try_arbiter, scm_release_arbiter): Use FETCH_STORE to get xchg
        for speed on i386, otherwise using mutex.

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p): Remove real==fraction and fraction==real, they
        must be #f according to R5RS.  (equal? follows eqv?, and for eqv? an
        exact and inexact is #f.)

        * fports.c (fport_print): Use scm_ttyname instead of ttyname directly,
        to get thread safety of scm_ttyname.

        * ports.c (ttyname): Remove prototype, unused.

        * socket.c (scm_init_socket): Add SOCK_SEQPACKET and SOCK_RDM.
        Reported by Michael Tuexen.

        * load.c (scm_init_load_path): Do not pass NULL to
        scm_to_locale_string, which would happen when GUILE_LOAD_PATH is
        not set.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.

2004-08-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * socket.c (scm_inet_aton, scm_inet_pton): Convert SCM strings to
        locale strings instead of accessing their internals.
        (scm_recv, scm_send, scm_recvfrom, scm_sendto): Use

        * extensions.c (load_extension): Convert lib and init to locale
        strings instead of accessing the internals directly.

        string.
        (scm_i_fdes_to_port): Implement using above.
        (scm_open_file): Use scm_i_fdes_to_port together with

        * vports.c (scm_make_soft_port): Use scm_i_fdes_to_port together
        with scm_i_mode_bits to avoid accessing internals of SCM string
        from C.

        * ports.h (scm_i_mode_bits): New, same as scm_mode_bits but with a
        SCM string as argument.

        SCM_VALIDATE_STRING plus SCM_I_STRING_CHARS or
        scm_to_locale_string, etc.
        (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY): Deprecated.  Replaced as
        above, plus scm_i_get_substring_spec.
        
        * regex-posix.c, read.c, random.c, ramap.c, print.c, numbers.c,
        hash.c, gc.c, gc-card.c, convert.i.c, backtrace.c, strop.c,
        strorder.c, strports.c, struct.c, symbols.c, unif.c, ports.c: Use
        SCM_I_STRING_CHARS, SCM_I_STRING_UCHARS, and SCM_I_STRING_LENGTH
        instead of SCM_STRING_CHARS, SCM_STRING_UCHARS, and
        SCM_STRING_LENGTH, respectively.  Also, replaced scm_return_first
        with more explicit scm_remember_upto_here_1, etc, or introduced
        them in the first place.

        * posix.c (WITH_STRING): New helper macro.  Use it where one
        locale string is needed for a short piece of code.

2004-08-11  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * load.c (scm_primitive_load_path): Do not check for absolute
        filenames when scm_sys_search_load_path returns false, which will
        return absolute filenames unchanged.

2004-08-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * gc.c, procprop.c (scm_init_storage, scm_stand_in_procs,
        scm_stand_in_proc): Use a hastable for scm_stand_in_procs instead
        of an alist.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!

2004-08-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * strings.h, deprecated.h (SCM_STRING_COERCE_0TERMINATION_X):
        Moved from string.h to deprecated.h.

        * deprecated.c, deprecated.h (SCM_CHARS, SCM_LENGTH): Removed.

        * strings.h, strings.c (SCM_MAKE_STRING_TAG): Renamed to
        SCM_I_MAKE_STRING_TAG, changed all uses.
        (SCM_STRING_CHARS, SCM_STRING_UCHARS, SCM_STRING_LENGTH): Renamed
        to SCM_I_STRING_CHARS, SCM_I_STRING_UCHARS, and SCM_I_LENGTH
        respectively.  For a short time, the old names are still there as
        aliases.  Not all uses have been changed yet, but the ones in
        strings.c have.
        (SCM_STRING_MAX_LEN): Do not hardcode to 24 bits, compute from
        SCM_T_BITS_MAX.
        (scm_is_string, scm_from_locale_string, scm_from_locale_stringn,
        scm_take_locale_string, scm_take_locale_stringn,
        scm_to_locale_string, scm_to_locale_stringn,
        scm_to_locale_stringbuf): New.
        (scm_c_string2str, scm_c_substring2str): Deprecated by moving to
        deprecated.[hc]. Implemented in terms of the new functions above.
        (scm_take_str, scm_take0str, scm_mem2string, scm_str2string,
        scm_makfrom0str): Reimplemented in terms of the new functions from
        above.  They will be discouraged shortly.
        (scm_substring): Do not use scm_mem2string.
        (scm_i_allocate_string_pointers, scm_i_free_string_pointers): New,
        to replace similar code from posix.c, simpos.c, and dynl.c.
        (scm_string_append): Use memcpy instead of explicit loop.  Do not
        use register keyword.  Use plain 'char' instead of 'unsigned
        char'.
        
        * strports.c (scm_mkstrport): Use SCM_I_STRING_UCHARS instead of
        SCM_STRING_UCHARS.  Use SCM_I_STRINGP instead of SCM_STRINGP.

        * strop.c (scm_i_index): Replaced SCM_STRINGP, SCM_STRING_CHARS,
        and SCM_STRING_LENGTH with SCM_I_STRINGP, SCM_I_STRING_CHARS, and
        SCM_I_STRING_LENGTH, respectively.  Pass string object directly,
        not as a pointer.  Use scm_remember_upto_here_1 to protect it.

        * read.c (scm_input_error): Use a SCM value for 'fn', not a C
        string.  This avoids a conversion round-trip.

        * gh_data.c: Replaced SCM_STRINGP, SCM_STRING_CHARS, and
        SCM_STRING_LENGTH with SCM_I_STRINGP, SCM_I_STRING_CHARS, and
        SCM_I_STRING_LENGTH, respectively.
        (gh_scm2newstr): Implement in terms of scm_to_locale_string.
        
        * environments.c: Instead calling scm_puts on the SCM_STRING_CHARS
        of a string, call scm_display on the string itself.

        * dynwind.c, dynwind.h (scm_frame_free): New.

        * stime.c, socket.c, simpos.c, procs.c, posix.c, ports.c,
        net_db.c, fports.c, filesys.c, eval.c, deprecation.c, dynl.c:
        Replaced uses of SCM_STRING_CHARS with proper uses of
        scm_to_locale_string.  Replaced SCM_STRINGP with scm_is_string.
        Replaced scm_mem2string with scm_from_locale_string.

        * simpos.c, posix.c (allocate_string_pointers, environ_list_to_c):
        Removed, replaced all uses with scm_i_allocate_string_pointers.

        * load.h, load.c (scm_internal_parse_path): Removed.
        (scm_parse_path): Use scm_string_split to do the work.
        (scm_init_load_path): Use scm_parse_path instead of
        scm_internal_parse_path.
        (scm_search_path): Rewritten string handling part of the code in
        terms of scm_to_locale_stringbuf and so that it is thread safe.

        * error.c (scm_error_scm): Throw directly instead of calling
        scm_error, this avoids the back and forth conversion of SUBR and
        MESSAGE and also plugs a memory leak.
        (scm_error): Call scm_error_scm.
        
        * backtrace.c: Replaced SCM_STRINGP with scm_is_string.
        (display_header): Print FNAME when it is true, not
        merely when it is a string.

        * strings.h (SCM_SET_STRING_LENGTH, SCM_SET_STRING_CHARS): Removed
        unceremoniously.  They were unused by Guile itself, and external
        use should stop immediately.
        

2004-08-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * numbers.h, number.c, deprecated.h, deprecated.c (scm_round,
        scm_truncate): Renamed to scm_c_round and scm_c_truncate;
        deprecated versions installed in deprecated.h and deprecated.c.
        Changed all uses.
        
2004-08-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * net_db.c (scm_resolv_error): don't cause an exception while
        trying to throw an exception -- call scm_misc_error with correct
        arguments.  The previous arguments needed a format escape that
        wasn't in any of the format strings.

2004-08-06  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * ramap.c (scm_array_fill_x): For byvect char fill, force signed char
        so as not to depend on signedness of plain char.  For byvect range
        check, throw out-of-range rather than wrong-type-arg.

        * unif.c (scm_uniform_vector_ref, scm_array_set_x): For byvect, force
        signed byte range checks by using scm_to_schar and scm_from_schar,
        don't want to depend on signedness of C char.

2004-08-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * arbiters.c (scm_try_arbiter): Use scm_i_misc_mutex instead of
        SCM_DEFER_INTS.
        (scm_release_arbiter): Use scm_i_misc_mutex so return value can be
        guaranteed if multiple threads compete to unlock.
        Update docstrings per doc/ref/api-scheduling.texi.

        * filesys.c (scm_copy_file): Use fstat on the input fd rather than
        stat on the filename, to be certain a file rename can't mean we get
        info on one filesystem object but open another.  This fstat usage is
        similar to Emacs copy-file.
        
        * posix.c (scm_setgroups): Enhance docstring, per doc/ref/posix.texi.

        * simpos.c (scm_system_star): Change scm_from_long to scm_from_int on
        SIGINT and SIGQUIT, since those values are ints.

        (scm_c_real_part, scm_c_imag_part, scm_c_magnitude, scm_c_angle):
        New.
        (scm_make_complex): Discouraged by moving to discouraged.h and
        discouraged.c.  Replaced all uses with scm_c_make_rectangular.
        
        * discouraged.h, discouraged.c, numbers.c, numbers.h
        (scm_is_rational): New.
        (scm_i_short2big, scm_i_int2big, scm_i_uint2big, scm_i_size2big,
        scm_i_ptrdiff2big, scm_i_long_long2big, scm_i_ulong_long2big):
        Removed prototypes.
        (scm_make_real, scm_num2dbl, scm_float2num, scm_double2num):
        Discouraged by moving to discouraged.h and discouraged.c.

        to discouraged.h and rewriting in terms of scm_to_double.
        Replaced all uses with scm_to_double.
        (scm_to_double): Do not implement in terms of scm_num2dbl, use
        explicit code.
        (scm_from_double): Do not implement in terms of scm_make_real, use
        explicit code.

        * filesys.c (scm_copy_file): Avoid fd leak when destination file
        cannot be opened.

        SCM_T_INTMAX_MIN, SCM_T_INTMAX_MAX, SCM_T_UINTMAX_MAX): Moved
        definition into __scm.h, using new SCM_I_TYPE_MIN, etc.

        conv-integer.i.c and conv-uinteger.i.c, as well.
        
        * number.h (scm_to_ssize_t, scm_to_size_t): Use the new
        SCM_I_SSIZE_MIN, SCM_I_SSIZE_MAX, and SCM_I_SIZE_MAX macros for
        the limits.  Those are always defined.
        
2004-07-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_ttyname): Use scm_i_misc_mutex for thread safety.

2004-07-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_ctermid): Use an L_ctermid buf on the stack, for thread
        safety.

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x): For svect, use scm_num2short for
        consistency with other vector types and to get arg and func name into
        error message.

2004-07-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * deprecated.h (SCM_FALSEP, SCM_NFALSEP, SCM_BOOLP, SCM_BOOL):
        Reimplement using scm_is_false, scm_is_true, scm_is_bool, and
        scm_from_bool, respectively.
        (SCM_NINUMP): Added.
        
        * tags.h, deprecated.h (SCM_EQ_P): Deprecated by moving it into
        deprecated.h.  Replaced all uses with scm_is_eq.

2004-07-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * threads.c, threads.h (scm_i_misc_mutex): New SCM_GLOBAL_MUTEX.
        * posix.c (scm_crypt): Use it to protect static data in crypt().

2004-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * deprecated.h, deprecated.c, numbers.h (SCM_INUMP, SCM_NINUMP,
        SCM_INUM): Deprecated by renaming them to SCM_I_INUMP,
        SCM_I_NINUMP and SCM_I_INUM, respectively and adding deprecated
        versions to deprecated.h and deprecated.c.  Changed all uses to
        either use the SCM_I_ variants or scm_is_*, scm_to_*, or
        scm_from_*, as appropriate.

        * dynwind.c (scm_i_dowinds): Removed unused code that would call
        the unexisting scm_cross_dynwind_binding_scope for inums on the
        windlist.
        
2004-07-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * socket.c (ipv6_net_to_num, scm_from_ipv6): Renamed
        ipv6_net_to_num to scm_from_ipv6, for converting from an IPv6
        byte-wise address to a SCM integer.  Changed all uses.
        (ipv6_num_to_net, scm_to_ipv6): Renamed ipv6_num_to_net to
        scm_to_ipv6 and added type and range checking, for converting from
        an IPv& byte-wise address to a SCM integer.  Changed all uses.
        (bignum_in_ipv6_range_p, VALIDATE_INET6): Removed, their function
        is now done by scm_to_ipv6.
        
        * numbers.c (scm_to_signed_integer, scm_to_unsigned_integer): dot
        not accept inexact integers.

        * validate.h, deprecated.h (SCM_VALIDATE_INUM,
        SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_BIGINT,
        SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_MIN, SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_MIN_COPY,
        SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_MIN_DEF_COPY,SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_DEF,
        SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_DEF_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_RANGE,
        SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_RANGE_COPY): Deprecated because they make the
        fixnum/bignum distinction visible.  Changed all uses to
        scm_to_size_t or similar.

2004-07-09  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * cpp_cnvt.awk: Use scm_from_int instead of SCM_MAKINUM.

2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * hash.c (scm_hashq, scm_hashv, scm_hash): Restrict to size>=1 rather
        than size>=0, since 0<=hash<size cannot be satisfied for size==0, and
        such a size causes divide-by-zeros in scm_hasher.

        * regex-posix.c (scm_make_regexp): Free rx on error, to avoid memory
        leak.

2004-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_is_signed_integer, scm_is_unsigned_integer):
        Rewritten using the same logic as scm_to_signed_integer and
        scm_to_unsigned_integer, respectively, which is better(tm).  Also,
        use CHAR_BIT instead of hardcoding 8.
        (LLONG_MIN, LLONG_MAX, ULLONG_MAX): Removed and used
        SCM_I_LLONG_MIN etc. instead.
        
        * numbers.h (SCM_MAKINUM, SCM_I_MAKINUM): Renamed SCM_MAKINUM to
        SCM_I_MAKINUM and changed all uses.
        * deprecated.h, deprecated.c (SCM_MAKINUM): Newly deprecated.

        * gen-scmconfig.c (SCM_I_LLONG_MIN, SCM_I_LLONG_MAX,
        SCM_I_ULLONG_MAX): Instead of hard-coding the numbers, compute
        them by assuming twos-complement.

2004-07-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * gen-scmconfig.h.in: Added all the new SCM_I_GSC_*_LIMITS that
        configure now produces.
        * gen-scmconfig.c: Use them to output SCM_T_INT8_MIN, etc
        definitions, giving the limits of the integer types defined by
        Guile. Also, output a hard coded SCM_I_LLONG_MIN, etc since
        LLONG_MIN or LONG_LONG_MIN is hard to get at.

        * numbers.h (scm_to_short, scm_to_ushort): It's SHRT_MIN, etc, not
        SHORT_MIN.
        (scm_to_size_t): Use SIZE_MAX instead of cooking our own.
        (scm_to_long_long, scm_to_ulong_long, scm_to_int8, scm_to_uint8,
        scm_to_int16, scm_to_uint16, scm_to_int32, scm_to_uint32,
        scm_to_int64, scm_to_uint64, scm_to_intmax, scm_to_uintmax,
        scm_from_long_long, scm_from_ulong_long, scm_from_int8,
        scm_from_uint8, scm_from_int16, scm_from_uint16, scm_from_int32,
        scm_from_uint32, scm_from_int64, scm_from_uint64, scm_from_intmax,
        scm_from_uintmax): New.
        
2004-07-06  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * tags.h (scm_is_eq): New.

        * deprecated.h, boolean.h (SCM_FALSEP, SCM_NFALSEP, SCM_BOOL,
        SCM_NEGATE_BOOL, SCM_BOOLP): Deprecated by moving into
        "deprecated.h".  Replaced all uses with scm_is_false, scm_is_true,
        scm_from_bool, and scm_is_bool, respectively.

        * boolean.h (scm_is_bool): Fix bug in prototype.
        (scm_from_bool): The argument is "x" not "f", stupid.

        * boolean.c (scm_is_bool): Fix typo.

        * numbers.h, numbers.c (scm_is_integer, scm_is_signed_integer,
        scm_is_unsigned_integer, scm_to_signed_integer,
        scm_to_unsigned_integer, scm_to_schar, scm_to_uchar, scm_to_char,
        scm_to_short, scm_to_ushort, scm_to_long, scm_to_ulong,
        scm_to_size_t, scm_to_ssize_t, scm_from_schar, scm_from_uchar,
        scm_from_char, scm_from_short, scm_from_ushort, scm_from_int,
        scm_from_uint, scm_from_long, scm_from_ulong, scm_from_size_t,
        scm_from_ssize_t, scm_is_real, scm_to_double, scm_from_double):
        New.
        
2004-07-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * boolean.h, boolean.c (scm_is_true, scm_is_false, scm_from_bool,
        scm_to_bool): New.

2004-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * backtrace.c (display_expression, display_frame): Call
        scm_i_unmemoize_expr for unmemoizing a memoized object holding a
        single memoized expression.

        * debug.c (memoized_print): Don't try to unmemoize the memoized
        object, since we can't know whether it holds a single expression
        or a body.

        (scm_mem_to_proc): Removed check for lambda expression, since it
        was moot anyway.  Whoever uses these functions for debugging
        purposes should know what they do: Creating invalid memoized code
        will cause crashes, independent of whether this check is present
        or not.

        (scm_proc_to_mem): Take the closure's code as it is and don't
        append a SCM_IM_LAMBDA isym.  To allow easier debugging, the
        memoized code should not be modified.

        * debug.[ch] (scm_unmemoize, scm_i_unmemoize_expr): Removed
        scm_unmemoize from public use, but made scm_i_unmemoize_expr
        available as a guile internal function instead.  However,
        scm_i_unmemoize_expr will only work on memoized objects that hold
        a single memoized expression.  It won't work with bodies.

        * debug.c (scm_procedure_source), macros.c (macro_print), print.c
        (scm_iprin1): Call scm_i_unmemocopy_body for unmemoizing a body,
        i. e. a list of expressions.

        * eval.c (unmemoize_exprs): Drop internal body markers from the
        output during unmemoization.

        * eval.[ch] (scm_unmemocopy, scm_i_unmemocopy_expr,
        scm_i_unmemocopy_body): Removed scm_unmemocopy from public use,
        but made scm_i_unmemocopy_expr and scm_i_unmemocopy_body available
        as guile internal functions instead.  scm_i_unmemoize_expr will
        only work on a single memoized expression, while
        scm_i_unmemocopy_body will only work on bodies.

2004-06-21  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (unmemoize_exprs): Handle semi-memoized code.

        (scm_cons_source, scm_primitive_eval): Prefer higher level
        predicate SCM_FALSEP over SCM_IMP.

2004-06-15  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * script.c (scm_shell_usage): minor phrasing change.

        * gc_os_dep.c: update ifdefery for macosx.
        (scm_get_stack_base): separate result initialization from
        declaration to slience warnings with macosx and hp-ux using gcc
        3.3.  Thanks to Andreas Vögele.

2004-06-13  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * eval.c (unmemoize_exprs): use SCM_CONSP for the loop condition.

2004-06-06  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * list.[ch] (scm_i_finite_list_copy): New internal function to
        copy lists that are known to be finite (though not necessarily
        proper).

        * debug.c (scm_procedure_source): Don't have scm_unmemocopy treat
        a closure's argument list like an expression of a body.

        * eval.c (unmemoize_expression, unmemoize_exprs, unmemoize_and,
        unmemoize_begin, unmemoize_case, unmemoize_cond, unmemoize_delay,
        unmemoize_do, unmemoize_if, unmemoize_lambda, unmemoize_let,
        unmemoize_letrec, unmemoize_letstar, unmemoize_or,
        unmemoize_set_x, unmemoize_apply, unmemoize_atcall_cc,
        unmemoize_at_call_with_values, unmemoize_future, sym_atslot_ref, 
        unmemoize_atslot_ref, sym_atslot_set_x, unmemoize_atslot_set_x,
        unmemoize_builtin_macro): New static functions and symbols.

        (scm_unmemocopy): Rewritten in terms of the above.  scm_unmemocopy
        now has a slightly different meaning: The memoized form that is
        receives as its argument is now interpreted as a sequence of
        expressions from a body.

        (unmemocar, scm_unmemocar): Since the whole functionality of
        unmemocar and scm_unmemocar is not needed any more, scm_unmemocar
        has its old content back and is deprecated, while unmemocar has
        been removed.

        (SCM_BIT7): Removed.

        (CEVAL): For unmemoizing a single expression, call
        unmemoize_expression instead of scm_unmemocopy, which now expects
        a sequence of body expressions.  Eliminated unnecessary empty
        environment frame when executing let* forms.  Eliminated
        unmemoization step from evaluator.

2004-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * eval.c (scm_macroexp, macroexp): Renamed scm_macroexp to
        macroexp and made static.  Added new version of scm_macroexp that
        emits a deprecation warning and then calls macroexp.
        (scm_m_undefine): Issue deprecation warning.
        
2004-05-30  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (lookup_global_symbol, literal_p, try_macro_lookup):
        Modified to make set! work on symbols that represent syntactic
        keywords.

2004-05-26  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * gc.h (SCM_CELL_OBJECT_LOC): use SCM_GC_CELL_OBJECT to prevent
        compound expression as lvalue errors.

2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * dynwind.c (winder_mark): Use SCM_PACK to correctly convert the
        WINDER_DATA to a SCM.

2004-05-24  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * goops.c (compute_getters_n_setters, create_standard_classes,
        scm_add_slot): Compute closures by calling scm_i_eval_x on a
        lambda expression rather than creating them with scm_closure.

2004-05-22  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (s_macro_keyword, scm_m_set_x): Remove checking for
        misplaced syntactic keywords.  This will not work unless guile's
        defmacro feature is deprecated.

        (scm_m_case): Fixed a bug that caused the list of labels to grow
        with every case form.

2004-05-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_round_number): For inum and big, just return x.  For
        real, use scm_round for 2^54-1 etc problems covered there.

        * numbers.c (trunc): Remove #define to scm_truncate when the C library
        doesn't provide trunc.  This was for when `truncate' was done as a
        scm_tc7_dsubr, no longer required.

        * threads.c (scm_threads_mark_stacks) [SCM_STACK_GROWS_UP]: Correction
        to stack marking call, two parameters and no cast on t->base.

2004-05-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * hashtab.c (rehash_after_gc): Bug fix: properly link the
        processed hashtables back into the weak_hashtables list.  Thanks
        to Bill Schottstaedt!

2004-05-16  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (unmemoize_quote): New static function.

        (scm_m_quote, scm_m_atslot_ref, SCM_CEVAL): Changed the byte code
        representation of 'quote' and '@slot-ref' to an improper list.
        This reduces execution time, the number of cells used to hold the
        memoized code, and thus also reduces garbage collection time.

        (scm_unmemocopy): Use unmemoize_quote for quote expressions.

        (SCM_CEVAL): Changed macro handling to also work with macros that
        return improper lists.  Added an assertion, that the code returned
        by a macro transformer will not lead to cycles in the memoized
        code.

2004-05-15  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        No functional change, just rearrangements of functions within the
        file.

        * eval.c (scm_ilookup, scm_unbound_variable_key,
        error_unbound_variable, scm_lookupcar1, scm_lookupcar): Moved to
        the definitions used for execution, since that's where they will
        belong to later.

2004-05-15  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * numbers.h (SCM_SLOPPY_FRACTIONP): Removed.  It was not used
        throughout guile, has not been part of an official release yet,
        and the concept of sloppy predicates has never been a good idea.

        (SCM_FRACTION_NUMERATOR, SCM_FRACTION_DENOMINATOR,
        SCM_FRACTION_SET_NUMERATOR, SCM_FRACTION_SET_DENOMINATOR):
        Simplified.

2004-05-15  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * throw.c (SETJBJMPBUF, SCM_SETJBDFRAME): Add cast to scm_t_bits
        to make explicit what happens.

2004-05-15  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * dynl.c (SET_DYNL_HANDLE): Add cast to scm_t_bits to make
        explicit what happens.

        * guardians.c (TCONC_IN): Use SCM_SET_CELL_OBJECT_x rather than
        SCM_SET_CELL_WORD_x when writing scheme objets to cell elements.

2004-05-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Validate that the handler
        is indeed a procedure when it isn't a number.

2004-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        Convert floating point numbers into strings with an arbitrary
        radix.  Thanks to Richard Todd!
        
        * numbers.c (FLOBUFLEN): Increase so that radix 2 strings will
        fit.
        (fx): Removed.
        (scm_dblprec, fx_per_radix, init_dblprec, init_fx_radix,
        number_chars): New, to support variable radices.
        (idbl2str): Use above instead of the old base-10 only tables.
        (iflo2str): Pass on new RADIX argument to idbl2str.
        (scm_number_to_string): Pass radix to iflo2str.
        (scm_print_real, scm_print_complex): Explicitly pass radix 10 to
        iflo2str.
        (scm_init_numbers): Call init_dblprec and init_fx_radix for all
        possible radices.

2004-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_logbit_p): Correction to test above the end of an
        inum.  Reported by Jan Konecny.

2004-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * gc.h (scm_t_cell): Fields are now of type SCM instead of
        scm_t_bits.  Updated all users.
        (SCM_GC_CARD_SIZE_MASK): Use SCM_GC_SIZEOF_CARD instead of
        duplicating the code.
        (SCM_CELL_OBJECT_LOC): New.
        (SCM_CARLOC, SCM_CDRLOC): Use it instead of SCM_CELL_WORD_LOC.
        (SCM_CELL_WORD_LOC): Moved to "deprecated.h".

        * smob.h (SCM_SMOB_DATA_2, SCM_SMOB_DATA_3, SCM_SMOB_FLAGS,
        SCM_SET_SMOB_DATA_2, SCM_SET_SMOB_DATA_3, SCM_SET_SMOB_FLAGS,
        SCM_SMOB_OBJECT, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3,
        SCM_SET_SMOB_OBJECT, SCM_SET_SMOB_OBJECT_2, SCM_SET_SMOB_OBJECT_3,
        SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_LOC, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC,
        SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC): New.
        * smob.c (scm_i_set_smob_flags): New function.

        * dynl.c, dynwind.c, eval.h, fluids.h, futures.h, hashtab.h,
        hooks.h, keywords.h, macros.h, macros.c, mallocs.c, mallocs.h,
        random.h, regex-posix.h, root.h, srcprop.h, srcprop.c, threads.h:
        Use SCM_SMOB_* instead of SCM_CELL_* as appropriate.  Use
        SCM_SMOB_FLAGS and SCM_SET_SMOB_FLAGS instead of accessing the
        zeroth word directly.  Use SCM_SMOB_PREDICATE as appropriate.

        * numbers.h (SCM_I_BIG_MPZ): Use SCM_CELL_OBJECT_LOC instead of
        taking the address of SCM_CELL_WORD_1, the latter being no longer
        an lvalue.

        * variable.h (SCM_VARIABLE_LOC): Use SCM_CELL_OBJECT_LOC instead
        of casting SCM_CELL_WORD_LOC.

2004-05-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * eval.c (scm_macroexp): Add prototype, since it's not in eval.h under
        --disable-deprecated.  Reported by Andreas Vögele.

        * filesys.c (_POSIX_C_SOURCE): Define to 199506L to get readdir_r (in
        particular on HP-UX).  Reported by Andreas Vögele.

        * list.c (varargs.h): Remove, leave just stdarg.h which is all the
        code has support for.  Fixes building with AIX cc, which is ansi but
        doesn't define __STDC__.  Reported by Keith Crane.
        (var_start): Remove macro, this variation no longer required.
        (scm_list_n): Use va_start directly.

2004-05-01  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * continuations.c (scm_dynthrow): Use >= instead of SCM_PTR_GE which
        is now gone.  Reported by Andreas Vögele.

2004-04-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * backtrace.c (display_frame_expr), numbers.c (XDIGIT2UINT,
        mem2uinteger, mem2decimal_from_point, mem2ureal): Cast char to int for
        ctype.h tests, to avoid warnings from gcc on HP-UX about char as array
        subscript.  Reported by Andreas Vögele.
        Also cast through unsigned char to avoid passing negatives to those
        macros if input contains 8-bit values.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): Under non-BIGMPZ_FITSP case,
        corrections to range check for signed numbers.  Remove
        scm_remember_upto_here_1(num) from these checks, since num is used
        subsequently anyway.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): Test BIGMPZ_FITSP with "!= 0" to
        avoid warning from gcc 3.4.  Reported by Hyperdivision.
        
        * numbers.c (scm_bit_extract): Use min instead of MIN.
        (MIN): Remove, this conflicts with similar macro defined by limits.h
        on HP-UX.  Reported by Andreas Vögele.

        * stime.c (_POSIX_C_SOURCE): Define to 199506L to get gmtime_r (in
        particular on HP-UX).  Reported by Andreas Vögele.

        * threads.c (scm_threads_mark_stacks): Correction sizet -> size_t.
        Reported by Andreas Vögele.

        * threads-plugin.h (SCM_MUTEX_MAXSIZE): Increase to 25*sizeof(long),
        for the benefit of hpux11 where pthread_mutex_t is 88 bytes.  Reported
        by Andreas Vögele.

2004-04-22  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (s_macro_keyword): New static identifier.

        (scm_m_define): Change order to first create binding and
        evaluating the expression afterwards.

        (scm_m_set_x): Memoize complete set! expression.  Only leave
        symbols if no binding exists at memoization time.  Throw error if
        assigning to a syntactic keyword.

        (lazy_memoize_variable): New function.

        (CEVAL): When execution set!, perform lazy memoization if
        unmemoized symbol is detected.

        * modules.c (module_variable): Return variables with unbound
        value.

        * tags.h: Fix comment.

2004-04-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * chars.c (scm_char_upcase, scm_char_downcase, scm_c_upcase,
        scm_c_downcase): Use ctype.h toupper and tolower.  This will be useful
        in 8-bit locales, and ensures consistency with char-upper-case? and
        char-lower-case? which already use ctype.h.
        (scm_c_upcase_table, scm_c_downcase_table, scm_lowers, scm_uppers):
        Remove.
        * chars.c, chars.h, init.c (scm_tables_prehistory): Remove.

        * socket.c (VALIDATE_INET6): Correction to bignum_in_ipv6_range_p
        call.  Reported by Hyperdivision.

        * threads.c (scm_yield): Correction, actually call scm_thread_yield.
        Reported by Hyperdivision.

        * unif.c (s_scm_make_uve): Remove unused local variable.  Reported by
        Hyperdivision.

2004-04-22  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        Hide the implementation of ilocs and isyms in eval.c.

        * deprecated.h (SCM_IFRINC, SCM_ICDR, SCM_IFRAME, SCM_IDIST,
        SCM_ICDRP), eval.c (SCM_IFRINC, SCM_ICDR, SCM_IFRAME, SCM_IDIST,
        SCM_ICDRP), eval.h (SCM_ICDR, SCM_IFRINC, SCM_IFRAME, SCM_IDIST,
        SCM_ICDRP): Deprecated and added to deprecated.h.  Moved from
        eval.h to eval.c.

        * deprecated.c (scm_isymnames), deprecated.h (scm_isymnames,
        SCM_ISYMNUM, SCM_ISYMCHARS), eval.c (SCM_ISYMNUM, isymnames,
        scm_unmemocopy, CEVAL), print.c (scm_isymnames), tags.h
        (SCM_ISYMNUM, scm_isymnames, SCM_ISYMCHARS): Deprecated
        scm_isymnames, SCM_ISYMNUM and SCM_ISYMCHARS and added to
        deprecated.[hc].  Moved scm_isymnames from print.c to eval.c and
        renamed to isymnames.  Moved SCM_ISYMNUM from tags.h to eval.c and
        renamed to ISYMNUM.

        * eval.c (scm_i_print_iloc, scm_i_print_isym), eval.h
        (scm_i_print_iloc, scm_i_print_isym), print.c (scm_iprin1):
        Extracted printing of ilocs and isyms to guile internal functions
        scm_i_print_iloc, scm_i_print_isym of eval.c.

2004-04-22  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_bit_extract): Use SCM_SRS for signed right shift.

        * numbers.c (scm_round): Test for x already an integer, to avoid bad
        rounding in x+0.5 when x is a big value already an integer.  In
        certain hardware rounding cases x+0.5 can give an adjacent integer,
        leading to that as the result, when we really just wanted x itself.
        
2004-04-19  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (scm_unmemocopy): Fixed unmemoization of let*.

        (deval_args, CEVAL): Minor improvements: Reduced variable scopes,
        added const qualifiers, cast intentionally unused expressions to
        void for emphasis, improved comment.

2004-04-18  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * tags.h (scm_tags, scm_tc8_tags, scm_tc9_flag, scm_tc8_flag,
        scm_tc8_isym): Renamed scm_tags to scm_tc8_tags.  Renamed
        scm_tc9_flag to scm_tc8_flag.  Introduced new identifier
        scm_tc8_isym.  Defined tc8-tags relative to scm_tc3_imm24.
        Defined the tc8-tag for flags to be 0x04, which will mean that
        SCM_BOOL_F will also have the value 0x04 instead of 0x013c.  Due
        to the reduced number of bits and the simpler bit pattern for
        SCM_BOOL_F, certain machines may be able to use more efficient
        processor instructions to deal with SCM_BOOL_F.

        (SCM_ITAG9, SCM_MAKE_ITAG9, SCM_ITAG9_DATA): Removed.  These have
        never been defined in a released version, thus no need to
        deprecate them.

        (SCM_IFLAGP, SCM_MAKIFLAG, SCM_IFLAGNUM): Flags now use tc8
        instead of tc9 tags.

        (SCM_ISYMP, SCM_MAKISYM, SCM_ISYMNUM): Isyms now use tc8 instead
        of tc9 tags.

        (SCM_MAKSPCSYM): Removed.  It is almost impossible that user code
        could have used this definition.

        (SCM_IM_AND, SCM_IM_BEGIN, SCM_IM_CASE, SCM_IM_COND, SCM_IM_DO,
        SCM_IM_IF, SCM_IM_LAMBDA, SCM_IM_LET, SCM_IM_LETSTAR,
        SCM_IM_LETREC, SCM_IM_OR, SCM_IM_QUOTE, SCM_IM_SET_X): Now encoded
        as isyms, as special isyms don't exist any more.

2004-04-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * filesys.c (scm_readdir): Use readdir_r when available, for thread
        safety.

        * numbers.c (scm_max, scm_min): For big/real, use SCM_SWAP rather than
        explicit swapping code.

2004-04-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * cpp_sig_symbols.in: Add SIGSYS.
        
        * list.c (scm_append_x): Use iterative style, to avoid non-tail
        recursion.

        * numbers.c (scm_max, scm_min): For inum/frac, frac/inum, big/frac,
        frac/big and frac/frac, use scm_less_p for exact comparison.

        * numbers.c (scm_gcd): For inum/big, use mpz_gcd_ui by sharing code
        with big/inum.

        * numbers.c (xisinf): Add a comment about solaris 7 lacking isinf.

2004-04-06  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * inline.h (scm_cell): use SCM_GC_CELL_WORD for checking tag.

        * chars.h (scm_init_chars): change scm_{upcase,downcase} to
        scm_c_{up,down}case. 
        (SCM_MAKE_CHAR): add (unsigned char) cast. This prevents havoc
        when hi-bit ASCII is subjected to SCM_MAKE_CHAR().  

2004-04-06  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_ash): Remove stray "}" in docstring.

        * numbers.c (scm_make_ratio): For inum/bignum integer detection, use
        x==SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM explicitly, for clarity and to avoid
        calling mpz_cmp_ui in most cases.

        * numbers.c (scm_quotient, scm_remainder): In inum/big, use mpz_cmp_ui
        for big == abs(most-negative-fixnum) special case.
        (abs_most_negative_fixnum): Remove, no longer used.

        * scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Correction to signum range
        test, avoids SCM_VECTOR_REF outside bounds of signal_handlers on
        calling (sigaction NSIG).

        * simpos.c (scm_system_star): Fix execargv memory leak, merge parent
        and fork error cases to do this.

2004-04-03  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (CEVAL): Don't distinguish between short and long
        instructions when dispatching - just always dispatch on the
        instruction code, which is common for short and long instructions.
        Further, removed unnecessary goto statements and added comment.

2004-04-03  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (scm_unmemocopy): Don't distinguish between short and
        long instructions when dispatching - just always dispatch on the
        instruction code, which is common for short and long instructions.
        Further, removed unnecessary goto statements, fixed indentation
        and replaced SCM_IMP predicates by SCM_NULLP.

2004-04-03  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (scm_lookupcar1, CEVAL): Use SCM_ILOCP instead of
        comparison with SCM_ILOC00.  In CEVAL, eliminate goto-label
        'checkmacro'.

2004-03-31  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * simpos.c: Include <signal.h> for SIG_IGN and friends.

2004-03-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        Introduce scm_debug_mode_p as a replacement for scm_debug_mode and
        SCM_DEBUGGINGP:

        * debug.h (scm_debug_mode_p, scm_debug_mode, SCM_DEBUGGINGP),
        eval.c (scm_debug_mode_p): Deprecated scm_debug_mode and
        SCM_DEBUGGINGP.  Provided scm_debug_mode_p instead, to have one
        single interface that also matches the naming conventions.
        Probably scm_debug_mode_p should be part of the private interface
        anyway.

        * debug.h (scm_debug_mode_p), backtrace.c (display_error_body),
        eval.c (SCM_APPLY, scm_trampoline_0, scm_trampoline_1,
        scm_trampoline_2): Change uses of scm_debug_mode or SCM_DEBUGGINGP
        to scm_debug_mode_p.


        Deprecate direct access to scm_ceval, scm_deval and scm_ceval_ptr:

        * eval.h (scm_ceval, scm_deval, scm_ceval_ptr), debug.h
        (scm_ceval_ptr): Deprecated.  Moved declaration of scm_ceval_ptr
        from debug.h to eval.h.

        * debug.h (SCM_RESET_DEBUG_MODE): Don't access scm_ceval_ptr any
        more, just leave it with setting scm_debug_mode_p, which is
        equivalent for practical purposes.

        * deprecated.h (SCM_XEVAL, SCM_XEVALCAR): Call scm_i_eval_x
        instead of *scm_ceval_ptr.  Leave all evaluating to scm_i_eval_x.

        * gdbint.c (gdb_eval): Call scm_i_eval_x instead of scm_ceval.

        * eval.c (ceval, deval, scm_ceval, scm_deval): Made scm_ceval
        static and renamed it to ceval throughout.  Provide a new exported
        but deprecated function scm_ceval as a wrapper for backwards
        compatibility.  The same is done for the deval/scm_deval pair of
        functions.

        * eval.c (CEVAL, SCM_CEVAL): Renamed SCM_CEVAL to CEVAL
        throughout.  Defined CEVAL to ceval or deval, based on compilation
        phase.

        * eval.c (SCM_XEVAL, SCM_XEVALCAR): Dispatch on scm_debug_mode_p
        to ceval and deval instead of calling *scm_ceval_ptr.

        * eval.c (dispatching_eval): New deprecated static function.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval_ptr): Initialized to dispatching_eval in order
        to emulate its old behaviour as closely as possible.


        Change the evaluator such that only expressions for which pair? is
        true are passed to CEVAL, and such that all other expressions are
        evaluated outside of CEVAL:

        * eval.c (EVAL): New, provided in analogy to EVALCAR.  Evaluate an
        expression that is assumed to be memoized already.  All but
        expressions of the form '(<form> <form> ...)' are evaluated inline
        without calling an evaluator.

        * eval.c (SCM_XEVAL, SCM_XEVALCAR, EVALCAR): Evaluate all but
        expressions of the form '(<form> <form> ...)' inline without
        calling an evaluator.

        * eval.c (scm_i_eval_x, scm_i_eval, scm_ceval, scm_deval): Handle
        the special case of unmemoized symbols passed on the top level.

        * eval.c (CEVAL): Change calls to CEVAL to EVAL, except where it
        is known that the expression passed to CEVAL is of the form
        '(<form> <form> ...)'.  Remove handling of the tc7-objects, since
        now it is known that the input expression of CEVAL is a pair.

2004-03-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c (is_self_quoting_p): New static function.

        (scm_m_quote): Use is_self_quoting_p.

        (copy_tree): Corrected typo in comment.

2004-03-28  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * eval.c (s_scm_copy_tree): idem.

        * list.c (s_scm_filter): remove "pointer" from doc string.

        * gc.h (SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE): SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE uses SCM_GC_CELL_OBJECT.

        * goops.h (SCM_NUMBER_OF_SLOTS): don't SCM_UNPACK the result.

        * backtrace.c ("display_backtrace_body"): SCM_PACK before SCM_EQ_P
        (display_frame): idem.
        (display_backtrace_file_and_line): idem.

        * tags.h (SCM_UNPACK): stricter typechecking on SCM_UNPACK
        arguments.

2004-03-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * filesys.c (scm_getcwd, scm_readlink): Avoid memory leak on errors.

        * numbers.c (scm_modulo): For inum/big and big/big, remove test of
        big==0 since that never occurs.

        * numbers.c, numbers.h (scm_modulo_expt): Renamed from
        scm_modular_expt, matching scheme level name `modulo-expt'.

        * numbers.c (scm_modular_expt): Return a negative remainder for a
        negative divisor, the same as `modulo' does.

2004-03-26  Eric Hanchrow <offby1@blarg.net>

        * numbers.c, numbers.h (scm_modular_expt): New function.

2004-03-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_min, scm_max): Correction to big/real and real/big,
        return inexact as required by r5rs.

2004-03-24  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * eval.c: Separated some definitions relevant for execution from
        the memoization part of the file.

        (copy_tree): New static function

        (scm_copy_tree): Rewritten to fix two kinds or bugs: First, cyclic
        structures are detected now and will lead to an exception instead
        of forcing guile to run in an endless loop, using up all the
        system's memory.  Second, arrays in the cdr of an improper list
        are now copied.  See the new test cases in eval.test.

2004-03-24  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

        * posix.c (scm_gethostname): Make sure len is initialised before
        it is used.  Restructured to (hopefully) represent possible
        configurations more clearly in the code.  Added unwind handler.

2004-03-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_gethostname): Use sysconf(_SC_HOST_NAME_MAX) and/or
        MAXHOSTNAMELEN when available.

2004-03-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * read.c (skip_scsh_block_comment): Also recognize '\r' as a line
        terminator.  Rewritten the logic as a state machine, I must have
        been doing too much VHDL lately...

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Explicitely evaluate ports to
        themselves.  Thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys!

        * list.c: Changed docstrings so that they no longer talk about
        returning 'pointers' to something.

2004-03-20  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * gc.c: remove set_debug_cell_accesses! when
        SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES is not defined. Scheme source code should
        use (if (defined? 'set-debug-cell-accesses!) .. ) to switch on
        debugging conditionally.
 
2004-03-21  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * stime.c (scm_gmtime): Use gmtime_r when available, for thread safety.

2004-03-20  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_gethostname): Preserve errno across free() call.

2004-03-18  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * gc-card.c (sweep_card): use SCM_GC_SET_CELL_WORD for setting
        free cells.

2004-03-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * stime.c: Define _GNU_SOURCE for strptime prototype from glibc.
        (strptime): Use HAVE_DECL_STRPTIME for when to give own prototype.

2004-03-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * stime.c (scm_gmtime): Return bd_time->tm_zone when available, rather
        than "GMT" always.
        (filltime): Make zname parameter "const".

2004-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>

        * threads.c, threads.h (scm_c_scm2thread): New function.

2004-02-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (guile_ieee_init): Use C99 INFINITY and NAN when
        available.  Test HAVE_DINFINITY and HAVE_DQNAN for those globals, in
        particular don't assume "defined (__alpha__) && ! defined (linux)"
        means OSF.  Remove "SCO" code, which was not really SCO specific and
        which John W. Eaton advises should be long past being needed.

        * posix.c (scm_execl, scm_execlp, scm_execle): Avoid memory leak under
        error throw.

2004-02-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_cuserid): Use a private result buffer, for thread safe.

2004-02-22  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_max, scm_min): For one arg, dispatch to generic for
        complex, same as for two args.  (Handle only inum, big, real, frac).

2004-02-21  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_crypt): Use new HAVE_CRYPT.
        (<crypt.h>): Remove HAVE_LIBCRYPT condition.
        Reported by Andreas Voegele.

2004-02-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * list.c (scm_list_n): Add #if SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES_P around
        validation.

        * read.c (scm_lreadparen): Removed.
        (scm_lreadparen1): Renamed scm_i_lreadparen.

2004-02-20  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * list.c (scm_list_n): validate non-immediate arguments;
        this will catch forgotten a SCM_UNDEFINED.

        * gc.h (scm_gc_cells_collected): Removed duplicated declaration.
        Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
        
        * socket.h (scm_gethost): Removed prototype it is already in
        "net_db.h".  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
        
2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * num2integral.i.c (INTEGRAL2BIG): WORDS_BIGENDIAN not right for word
        order parameter to mpz_import, in fact with just one word there's no
        order to worry about at all.

        * numbers.c (scm_num_eq_p): For real==frac, complex==frac, frac==real
        and frac==complex, make an exact comparison rather than converting
        with fraction2double.

        * posix.c, putenv.c, stime.c (environ): Use _NSGetEnviron in Darwin
        shared library, since environ is not directly available there.

        * script.c (scm_shell_usage): Print to stdout for --help, per GNU
        standard.

        * stime.c (scm_localtime, scm_gmtime, scm_mktime): Provide a default
        errno EINVAL in case localtime and gmtime don't set it.
        (scm_mktime, scm_strptime): Forcibly use errno EINVAL for our
        SCM_SYSERROR, since mktime and strptime generally don't set errno.

2004-02-16  Kevin Ryde  <kevin@swox.se>

        * gc-malloc.c (scm_done_malloc, scm_done_free): Allow negative sizes,
        which were permitted in the past for these.

        * num2float.i.c (NUM2FLOAT): Expand isfinite to !xisinf, as per
        previous change to numbers.c.

        * script.c (scm_shell_usage): Print bug-guile email address, as per
        GNU standard.  Reported by Han-Wen Nienhuys.

2004-02-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * unif.c (scm_make_uve): Removed local variable and simplified
        code in order to avoid compiler used uninitialized warnings.

        * hashtab.c, hashtab.h (scm_hash_map_to_list): Renamed from
        scm_hash_map.
        (scm_hash_fold): Use scm_call_3 directly in the call to
        scm_internal_hash_fold instead of going via fold_proc (which is
        now removed).
        (scm_hash_for_each): Use a trampoline +
        scm_internal_hash_for_each_handle.
        (scm_internal_hash_for_each_handle, scm_hash_for_each_handle): New
        functions.

2004-02-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * ports.c (scm_port_line): In docstring, note first line is 0.
        (scm_set_port_line_x): In docstring, note first line is 0.
        (scm_port_column): In docstring, there's no default to current input
        port, and remove shared port-line @defun.
        (scm_set_port_column_x): In docstring, there's no default to current
        input port, note first column is 0, remove shared set-port-line!
        @defun.

        * ramap.c (scm_array_fill_x): For fvect and dvect, use scm_num2dbl to
        convert args the same way that array-set! does.

        * unif.c (scm_make_uve, scm_array_p): Allow fraction 1/3 as prototype
        for dvect.
        (scm_array_p): Add missing "break"s in switch, fix llvect test look
        for "l" not "s", fix dvect to be false for singp(prot) since such a
        value is for fvect.
        (scm_array_prototype): Return 1/3 for dvect, rather than 0.33..33.
        (exactly_one_third): New variable.
        (scm_init_unif): Initialize it.

2004-02-10  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * read.c (scm_read_opts): Change `escaped-parens' to
        `elisp-strings'.

        * read.c (scm_read_opts): New opts `elisp-vectors' and
        `escaped-parens'.
        (s_vector): New.
        (scm_lreadr): Use scm_lreadparen1 instead of scm_lreadparen.  Make
        handling of elisp vector syntax dependent on SCM_ENABLE_ELISP and
        `elisp-vectors' option instead of SCM_ELISP_READ_EXTENSIONS.
        Allow "\(" and "\)" in strings when SCM_ENABLE_ELISP defined and
        `escaped-parens' option set.
        (scm_read_token): If elisp vector syntax active, disallow [ and ]
        in tokens.
        (scm_lreadparen): Rewrite as interface to scm_lreadparen1.
        (scm_lreadparen1): New.

        * read.h: Remove conditionally compiled last arg to
        scm_lreadparen.
        (SCM_ELISP_VECTORS_P, SCM_ESCAPED_PARENS_P): New.
        
2004-01-23  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * eval.c (m_expand_body): remove stray variable new_body.

2004-01-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * eval.c (m_expand_body): Rewrite the expression in place (by
        overwriting FORMS) also when a letrec is constructed, not only
        when no definitions are found.  Do not return rewritten expression
        to emphasize the in-place rewriting.  Changed all users.

2004-01-19  Han-Wen Nienhuys   <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

        * gc.c: add protected_object_count, a number that is dumped from
        gc_stats()

2004-01-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * dynwind.h, dynwind.c (scm_frame_unwind,
        scm_frame_unwind_handler): Renamed and changed all uses.
        (scm_frame_rewind, scm_frame_rewind_handler): Likewise.
        
2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * unif.c (scm_bit_count, scm_bit_position, s_scm_bit_set_star_x,
        s_scm_bit_count_star, s_scm_bit_invert_x): Clarify docstrings, as per
        changes made to scheme-compound.texi.

2004-01-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_symbol_name): Handle #{`foo}#, #{,foo}#,
        #{.}#, and all numeric strings specially.  Thanks to Paul Jarc!

        * guile-snarf.in: Use mkdir to create a unique temporary directory
        that we can safely use.  Thanks to Stefan Nordhausen!

2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * dynwind.h, dynwind.c (scm_i_dowinds): Removed 'explicit'
        argument since it is always zero now.  Changed all callers.
        Removed code for handling fluids.

        * fluids.c (scm_c_with_fluids): Use frames instead of adding to
        the wind chain explicitely.  Use scm_c_with_fluid for the common
        case of only one fluid.
        (scm_with_fluid): New.
        (scm_c_with_fluid): Use frames instead of scm_c_with_fluids.
        
        * fluids.h, fluids.c (scm_frame_fluid): New.
        (scm_with_fluid): New.
        (scm_i_swap_fluids, scm_i_swap_fluids_reverse): Removed.

        * dynwind.c (scm_frame_end): Do not use scm_i_dowinds.  Instead,
        do the unwinding directly.  It is simple enough.
        
        * dynwind.h, dynwind.c: Did the following renamings:
        scm_begin_frame -> scm_frame_begin,
        scm_end_frame -> scm_frame_end,
        scm_on_unwind -> scm_frame_unwind,
        scm_on_rewind -> scm_frame_rewind,
        scm_on_unwind_with_scm -> scm_frame_unwind_with_scm,
        scm_on_rewind_with_scm -> scm_frame_rewind_with_scm.
        Changed all uses.

        * aync.h, async.c: Did the follwing renamings:
        scm_with_blocked_asyncs -> scm_frame_block_asyncs,
        scm_with_unblocked_asyncs -> scm_frame_unblock_asyncs.
        Changed all uses.
        
        * ports.h, ports.c: Did the follwing renamings:
        scm_with_current_input_port -> scm_frame_current_input_port,
        scm_with_current_output_port -> scm_frame_current_output_port,
        scm_with_current_error_port -> scm_frame_current_error_port.
        Changed all uses.

2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (s_bignum): Remove, not used since gmp bignums.
        Reported by Richard Todd.

        * threads-plugin.h (SCM_MUTEX_MAXSIZE): Increase to 12*sizeof(long),
        for the benefit of powerpc-apple-darwin5.5.  Reported by Richard Todd.

        * unif.c (scm_aind): Test SCM_CONSP rather than !SCM_NULLP while
        traversing the args list, fixes segv if an improper list is given.
        Reported by Rouben Rostamian.

2004-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * ports.c (swap_ports, scm_with_current_foo_port): Do not allocate
        swap_data on stack, use a 'malloc obj'.

        * fluids.h, fluids.c (scm_make_initial_fluids, scm_copy_fluids,
        scm_swap_fluids, scm_swap_fluids_reverse): Renamed to
        scm_i_... since they are internal.  Changed all uses.

        * dynwind.c (frame_print): Removed, use the default printer.
        (WINDER_F_MARK, WINDER_MARK_P, winder_mark): New.
        (scm_on_unwind_with_scm, scm_on_rewind_with_scm): New. Use above
        to protect SCM values.
        
        * dynwind.h (SCM_F_WIND_EXPLICITELY,
        SCM_F_WIND_EXPLICITLY): It's "explicitly" not "explicitely", damn.
        Changed all uses.
        (scm_on_unwind_with_scm, scm_on_rewind_with_scm): New.
        
2004-01-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * ports.h, ports.c (scm_with_current_input_port,
        scm_with_current_output_port, scm_with_current_error_port): New.

        * async.h, async.c (scm_with_blocked_asyncs,
        scm_with_unblocked_asyncs): New.

2004-01-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * dynwind.h, scm_dynwind.c (scm_t_frame_flags, scm_t_wind_flags,
        scm_begin_frame, scm_end_frame, scm_on_unwind, scm_on_rewind):
        New.
        (scm_dowinds, scm_i_dowinds): scm_dowinds has been renamed to
        scm_i_dowinds and extended to handle frames and to invoke a 'turn'
        function when the outermost wind point has been reached.  The
        latter is used to copy a continuation stack at the right time.
        scm_dowinds remains available.
        (SCM_GUARDSP, SCM_BEFORE_GUARD, SCM_AFTER_GUARD, SCM_GUARD_DATA,
        tc16_guard, guards_print): Removed.
        (scm_internal_dynamic_wind): Reimplemented using frames.

        * continuations.c (copy_stack): New, do only the stack copying
        part of copy_stack_and_call.
        (copy_stack_and_call): Copy the stack after unwinding and before
        rewinding.
        (scm_dynthrow): Do not call scm_dowinds, this is now done by
        copy_stack_and_call.
        
2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_less_p): Don't convert frac to float for compares,
        can give bad results due to rounding.
        
        * stime.c (scm_current_time, scm_gettimeofday): Add a comment about
        setzone/restorezone protection for DOS.

2003-12-26  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * gen-scmconfig.h.in, gen-scmconfig.c: Arrange for scm_t_intmax
        and scm_t_uintmax to be defined in scmconfig.h

2003-12-03  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_less_p): Remove spurious xisnan from frac+big case.

        * numbers.c (scm_make_ratio): Check for numerator equal to
        SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM and bignum denominator the negative of that,
        giving integer -1.

        * numbers.c (scm_real_part): Return fraction unchanged rather than
        converting to flonum.

2003-11-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * modules.c (module_variable): Fixed (and thus simplified) the
        definition of SCM_BOUND_THING_P to reflect the fact that since
        after the 1.4 series of guile, obarrays only hold variable
        objects.

2003-11-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_logand): It's "#b...", not "#\b...".

        From Paul Jarc:

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): Signal an error for invalid escape
        sequences in strings.  Code cleanups too.

        * print.c (scm_iprin1): use \xNN hexadecimal sequences when
        writing control characters in strings.

2003-11-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * ports.c (scm_drain_input): Bug fix: only access the port after
        checking that it indeed is one.

2003-11-22  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (s_bad_define): New static identifier.

        (m_body): Fixed comment.

        (scm_m_define): Don't generate memoized code for definitions that
        are not on the top level.  As a consequence, no memoized code at
        all is generated for definitions any more: Top level definitions
        are executed immediately during memoization and internal
        definitions are handled separately in m_expand_body.

        (scm_unmemocopy, unmemocopy): Removed code for unmemoizing
        definitions.  Consequently, there is no unmemoizing code any more
        that might modify the environment.  Thus, the old scm_unmemocopy
        is removed and the old unmemocopy is renamed to scm_unmemocopy.

        (SCM_CEVAL): The SCM_IM_DEFINE keyword can no longer occur in
        memoized code.  Call EVALCAR for continuations.  Prefer !SCM_NULLP
        over SCM_NIMP in places, where the argument is known to be part of
        a proper list.

2003-11-21  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_abs): Allocate a new real only for negatives, as done
        for bignums.

        * numbers.c (scm_bit_extract): Use mpz functions, rearrange inum case
        to share some shifting.

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_expt): Don't mpz_init after scm_i_clonebig or
        scm_i_mkbig, since they do so already.  Don't mpz_clear a bignum SCM,
        since gc does this.

2003-11-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_make_ratio): Rewritten to have a simpler
        structure.  Previously, not all cases with a negative denominator
        were covered.

        * numbers.c (mem2decimal_from_point): use scm_divide instead of
        scm_divide2real when forming the fractional part.  This allows
        "#e1.2" to yield 6/5.

        * numbers.c (scm_i_fraction_equalp): Do not treat the return value
        of scm_equal_p as a C boolean, use SCM_FALSEP.  Previously, all
        fractions were equal to each other regardless of value.  Ooops.

        * numbers.c (scm_rationalize): Return an inexact result when given
        inexact arguments.

        * numbers.c (scm_exact_p, scm_inexact_p): Throw error for
        non-numbers.

2003-11-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        Support for exact fractions from Bill Schottstaedt!  Thanks!
        
        * print.c (scm_iprin1): Handle fractions.

        * objects.h (scm_class_fraction): New.
        * objects.c (scm_class_fraction): New. 
        (scm_class_of): Handle fractions.
        
        * hash.c (scm_hasher): Handle fractions.

        * numbers.c: New code for handling fraction all over the place.
        (scm_odd_p, scm_even_p): Handle inexact integers.
        (scm_rational_p): New function, same as scm_real_p.
        (scm_round_number, scm_truncate_number, scm_ceiling, scm_floor):
        New exact functions that replace the inexact 'dsubr'
        implementations.
        (scm_numerator, scm_denominator): New.

        * numbers.h (SCM_NUMP): Recognize fractions.
        (SCM_FRACTIONP, SCM_SLOPPY_FRACTIONP, SCM_FRACTION_NUMERATOR,
        SCM_FRACTION_DENOMINATOR, SCM_FRACTION_SET_NUMERATOR,
        SCM_FRACTION_SET_DENOMINATOR, SCM_FRACTION_REDUCED_BIT,
        SCM_FRACTION_REDUCED_SET, SCM_FRACTION_REDUCED_CLEAR,
        SCM_FRACTION_REDUCED): New.
        (scm_floor, scm_ceiling, scm_truncate_number, scm_round_number):
        New prototypes.
        (scm_make_ratio, scm_rationalize, scm_numerator, scm_denominator,
        scm_rational_p): New prototypes.
        (scm_i_dbl2num, scm_i_fraction2double, scm_i_fraction_equalp,
        scm_i_print_fraction): New prototypes.
        
        * goops.c (create_standard_classes): Create "<fraction>" class.

        * gc-mark.c (scm_gc_mark_dependencies): Handle fractions.

        * gc-card.c (scm_i_sweep_card): Include scm_tc16_fraction as a
        case in the switch, but do nothing for now.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY, call_dsubr_1): Convert fractions
        to doubles when calling 'dsubr' functions.

        * eq.c (scm_eqv_p, scm_equal_p): Handle fractions.

2003-11-18  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * gen-scmconfig.c (main): remove public definition of
        SCM_SIZEOF___INT64 and SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED___INT64 and add
        direct typedef of long_long and ulong_long inside deprecated block
        when appropriate.

        * deprecated.h: move long_long and ulong_long definitions to
        gen-scmconfig.c so that we don't need to add SCM_SIZEOF___INT64
        and SCM_SIZEOF_UNSIGNED___INT64 to the public namespace.

2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * hash.c (scm_string_hash): New hashing algorithm that takes the
        complete string into account.

        * eval.c (scm_m_generalized_set_x): Macroexpand the target when it
        is a list.  This allows (@ ...) to work with set!.
        (scm_m_generalized_set_x): Use ASSERT_SYNTAX_2 instead of
        SCM_ASSYNT.

        * script.c (scm_compile_shell_switches): Use scm_c_read_string for
        the "-e" option instead of scm_str2symbol.  This allows things
        like (@ ...) to be specified for the entry point.

2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_m_letstar): Create memoized code in place to
        minimize consing.

2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (s_splicing): Commented and reformulated.

        creating a temporary pair for scm_lookupcar.

        (scm_unmemocar, unmemocar): Renamed scm_unmemocar to unmemocar,
        created deprecated wrapper function scm_unmemocar.

        (SCM_VALIDATE_NON_EMPTY_COMBINATION, scm_sym_else,
        scm_sym_unquote, scm_sym_uq_splicing, scm_sym_enter_frame,
        scm_sym_apply_frame, scm_sym_exit_frame, scm_sym_trace, f_apply,
        undefineds, sym_three_question_marks): Moved around without
        modifications.

        * eval.c, eval.h (scm_macroexp, scm_unmemocar): Deprecated.

2003-11-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (try_macro_lookup, expand_user_macros, is_system_macro_p,
        m_expand_body, scm_m_expand_body): Grouped together with m_body.
        No further modifications.

2003-11-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (s_mixed_body_forms): New static identifier.

        (canonicalize_define, scm_m_define): The check for a bad
        expression is performed in canonicalize_define now.

2003-10-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * smob.h (scm_make_smob_type): Made the declaration match the

        rather than scm_strport_to_string, so as to guard against the port
        having been closed by the called procedure.  Reported by Nic Ferrier.

2003-09-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.h (SCM_INEXACTP): Removed uses of SCM_TYP16S.

        * tags.h, deprecated.h (SCM_TYP16S): Deprecated and moved from
        tags.h to deprecated.h.

2003-09-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        This set of patches introduces a new tc7 code scm_tc7_number for
        numbers.  Bignums, reals and complex numbers are turned from smobs
        into subtypes of scm_tc7_number.

        * tags.h (scm_tc7_number): New.

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p), eval.c (SCM_CEVAL), evalext.c
        (scm_self_evaluating_p), gc-card.c (scm_i_sweep_card), gc-mark.c
        (scm_gc_mark_dependencies), goops.c (create_smob_classes), hash.c
        (scm_hasher), numbers.c, numbers.h (SCM_NUMP), objects.c
        (scm_class_of), print.c (scm_iprin1), smob.c
        (scm_smob_prehistory): Don't handle bignums, reals and complex
        numbers as subtypes of scm_tc7_smob any more.

        * numbers.h, tags.h (scm_tc16_big, scm_tc16_real,
        scm_tc16_complex): Moved definitions from tags.h to numbers.h.

2003-09-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_make_complex), gc-card.c (scm_i_sweep_card): Use
        sizeof (scm_t_complex) to determine the memory size of the
        malloc'd area for complex numbers.

2003-09-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_bigequal): Fixed.

2003-09-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * stime.c (scm_current_time): 'time' does not set errno so don't
        use SCM_SYSERROR for reporting errors.

2003-09-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        This set of patches eliminates the dependency between the
        implementation of evaluator specific memoization codes and special
        constants like #f, '() etc. ('flags'), which are not evaluator
        specific.  The goal is to remove definitions of evaluator
        memoization codes completely from the public interface.  This will
        make it possible to experiment more freely with optimizations of
        guile's internal representation of memoized code.

        * objects.c (scm_class_of): Eliminate dependency on SCM_ISYMNUM.

        * print.c (iflagnames): New array, holding the printed names of
        guile's special constants ('flags').

        (scm_isymnames): Now holds only the printed names of the
        memoization codes.

        (scm_iprin1): Separate the handling of memoization codes and
        guile's special constants.

        * tags.h (scm_tc9_flag, SCM_ITAG9, SCM_MAKE_ITAG9, SCM_ITAG9_DATA,
        SCM_IFLAGNUM): new

        (scm_tc8_char, scm_tc8_iloc, SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_BOOL_T,
        SCM_UNDEFINED, SCM_EOF_VAL, SCM_EOL, SCM_UNSPECIFIED, SCM_UNBOUND,
        SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_IM_DISPATCH, SCM_IM_SLOT_REF,
        SCM_IM_SLOT_SET_X, SCM_IM_DELAY, SCM_IM_FUTURE,
        SCM_IM_CALL_WITH_VALUES, SCM_IM_NIL_COND, SCM_IM_BIND): Changed
        values.

        (SCM_IFLAGP): SCM_IFLAGP now only tests for flags.

        (SCM_IFLAGP, SCM_MAKIFLAG, SCM_IFLAGNUM): Generalized to use the
        tc9 macros and scm_tc9_flag.

2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * posix.c (scm_setgroups): Check that the gid list is not too
        long.  Thanks to Paul Jarc!

2003-09-14  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * tags.h: Reduced the number of short instructions from 14 to 13.
        The typecode of the former 14th short instruction is now used to
        represent long instructions.  Changed some comments to reflect
        this fact.

        (SCM_MAKISYM): ISYMs get a new tc7 code, namely the one that was
        previously used by SCM_IM_DEFINE.

        (SCM_IM_DEFINE): Turned into a long instruction.

        * eval.c (unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL): Treat SCM_IM_DEFINE as a long
        instruction.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Since characters and iflags have now a tc7
        code that is separate from all instructions, one level of dispatch
        for long instructions can be eliminated.

        * print.c (scm_isymnames): Removed some commented code.

2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_FENCE): Use __memory_barrier with the Intel
        compiler on IA64.

        * hashtab.h (scm_tc16_hashtable): Added "extern" declaration.

        * modules.c (scm_module_reverse_lookup): Check that the obarray
        really is a hashtable and do nothing if not.

        * inline.h: Use "extern inline" only with GCC.  Use "static
        inline" else.

2003-09-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.h (SCM_INEXACTP, SCM_REALP, SCM_COMPLEXP): Removed uses
        of SCM_SLOPPY_INEXACTP, SCM_SLOPPY_REALP and SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP.

        * numbers.h, deprecated.h (SCM_SLOPPY_INEXACTP, SCM_SLOPPY_REALP,
        SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP): Deprecated and moved from numbers.h to
        deprecated.h.

2003-09-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eq.c (scm_eqv_p, scm_equal_p): Removed uses of
        SCM_SLOPPY_INEXACTP, SCM_SLOPPY_REALP and SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP.

        * eq.c (scm_eqv_p, scm_equal_p): Reordered comparisons from
        0.0==some_expression to some_expression==0.0.  The latter is
        better readable.  The former is preferred by some people, since it
        leads to a compiler error when confusing == with =.  However, when
        using gcc, a warning will be issued if in an if-statement an
        assigment appears.  Since many Guile developers are using gcc,
        such errors will not remain unnoticed anyway.  We can therefore
        focus on better readability.

2003-09-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * tags.h: Added description of Guile's type system.  Removed some
        old and misleading comments.

2003-09-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * unit.c (scm_cvref): Eliminate unnecessary uses of SCM_NIMP,
        SCM_SLOPPY_REALP and SCM_SLOPPY_COMPLEXP.

        * numbers.h (SCM_MAKINUM): Define in terms of scm_tc2_int.

        (SCM_INEXACTP, SCM_REALP, SCM_COMPLEXP): Define in terms of the
        respective SLOPPY macro.

2003-09-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p): Use SCM_TYP7 to check if an object is of
        type string, not SCM_TYP7S.

2003-09-03  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_lognot): Correction to docstring, ones-complement not
        2s-complement.

        * stime.c (scm_strptime): Add comment about glibc strptime %s and
        current timezone requiring SCM_DEFER_INTS.

2003-08-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * script.c (scm_compile_shell_switches): Make -s switch optional
        if file to be loaded does not begin with a `-'.  (Thanks to Aaron
        VanDevender for the patch!)

2003-08-30  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_lognot): Rewrite using ~ and mpz_com, for directness
        and to have non-integer types rejected as per other logical funcs.
        
2003-08-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * gc.h (scm_remember_upto_here_1): Revise comments on the asm form.

2003-08-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * simpos.c (scm_system): Remove SCM_DEFER_INTS, system() should be
        thread safe, and could take a long time too.

2003-08-22  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_difference): Correction to bignum - negative inum.

2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * gc.h (scm_remember_upto_here_1, scm_remember_upto_here_2)
        [__GNUC__]: Use volatile asm macros rather than a function call.
        * gc.c (scm_remember_upto_here_1, scm_remember_upto_here_2): Undefine
        macros while defining functions.

        * simpos.c (getenv): Use <stdlib.h> for prototype.
        (scm_system): In docstring, refer to status:exit-val rather than
        "functions above".

2003-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * srcprop.c (scm_source_properties): Return plist from hash if it's a
        list set by source-properties! rather than an SRCPROPS object,

2003-07-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * properties.c (scm_primitive_property_ref): In docstring, note
        parameters to not-found-proc, use hyphens rather than underscores for
        that parameter name.
        (scm_primitive_property_set_x): In docstring, VAL is the value
        parameter not CODE.
        
2003-07-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_symbol_name): handle more weird characters by
        escaping the symbol name properly.  Thanks to Paul Jarc!

        * posix.h (scm_setgroups): New prototype.
        * posix.c (scm_setgroups): New.  Thanks to Paul Jarc!
        (scm_getgroups): Handle groups ids that don't fit into a fixnum.
        Don't use SCM_WRITABLE_VELTS.
        
        * gc.h (SCM_GC_SET_CELL_BVEC): New.
        * gc-card.c (scm_i_init_card_freelist): Use it.  Thanks to
        Matthias Koeppe!

        * __scm.h (SCM_C_INLINE_KEYWORD): New.
        * numbers.c: Use it in place of SCM_C_INLINE so that the code
        compiles when SCM_C_INLINE is undefined.

2003-07-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h: Reformulated the architecture and compiler properties
        in terms of properties of scm_t_bits and SCM variables rather than
        in terms of c standard types.  This is since it is not known which
        of the standard types scm_t_bits and SCM variables will be defined
        to.

2003-07-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_angle): Use scm_flo0 for non-negative inum, bignum
        and real.

2003-07-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_product): In complex * bignum, correction to
        REAL/IMAG fetch, x is the complex, not y.

2003-07-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * numbers.c (scm_odd_p, scm_even_p): Bugfix: Treat result of
        scm_inf_p test as Scheme values.
        (scm_sum): Bugfix: Normalize bignum created from a negative bignum
        and a positive inum.
        Use GNU indentation style.

2003-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * values.c (scm_values): Build lists of length 1 by using
        scm_list_1 instead of using scm_cons.

2003-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * deprecation.c (scm_c_issue_deprecation_warning_fmt): Add va_end.
        * list.c (scm_list_n): Ditto.

        * gc-malloc.c (scm_gc_realloc): Define "ptr" at start of function.

2003-07-08  Matthias Koeppe <mkoeppe@merkur.math.uni-magdeburg.de>

        * tags.h (scm_t_bits, scm_t_signed_bits, etc): Avoid solaris empty
        defines of INTPTR_MAX and UINTPTR_MAX, combine conditionals for
        scm_t_bits and scm_t_signed_bits to avoid any chance of one and not
        the other using intptr_t.

2003-07-08  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_make_polar): Use sincos, when available.
        (scm_magnitude): Use hypot.

        * ports.c (scm_char_ready_p, scm_peek_char): In docstrings, don't use
        @footnote since it doesn't go through to guile-procedures.txt.

        * threads.c (scm_call_with_new_thread): In docstring, use "( )"
        outside @var to quieten makeinfo, and use @code.

2003-07-06  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * gc-malloc.c (decrease_mtrigger): new function
        (increase_mtrigger): new function, separate debug registering and
        mtrigger administration.
        (scm_gc_realloc): bugfix: do mtrigger administration before the
        actual realloc, for the realloc might invalidate a GC-d segment of
        memory. Thanks to Sam Hocevar for pointing this out.
        (scm_gc_realloc): use scm_malloc_reregister instead of
        unregistering and registering in sequence.

2003-07-03  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASSERT): change "else" expansion to "do { } while (0)" 

2003-07-02  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASRTGO): add "else" to macro expansions with if
        clauses.
        
2003-06-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * deprecated.h (SCM_OPDIRP, scm_fport, scm_option, scm_srcprops,
        scm_srcprops_chunk, scm_info_frame, scm_stack, scm_array,
        scm_array_dim, SCM_ARRAY_CONTIGUOUS, SCM_FUNC_NAME, SCM_WTA,
        RETURN_SCM_WTA, SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_COPY,
        SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_DEF_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_OPDIR): Re-added from
        the release_1_6 branch.

2003-06-25  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * continuations.c: Redeclaration of getcontext() via the
        __asm__ ("getcontext") directive.

        * continuations.h: Include <ucontext.h> instead of 
        <sys/ucontext.h>.

2003-06-21  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (_GNU_SOURCE): #define, to get C99 things.
        (scm_asinh, scm_acosh, scm_atanh, scm_truncate, $asinh, $acosh,
        $atanh, truncate): Use C library asinh, acosh, atanh and trunc, when
        available.
        (scm_inexact_to_exact): Expand isfinite to its definition !xisinf.

        scm_sym2ovcell, scm_intern_obarray_soft, scm_intern_obarray,
        scm_symbol_value0, scm_string_to_obarray_symbol scm_intern_symbol,
        scm_unintern_symbol, scm_symbol_binding, scm_symbol_interned_p,
        scm_symbol_bound_p, scm_symbol_set_x, scm_gentemp): Re-added from
        the release_1_6 branch.

2003-06-14  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * threads.h: Redefined scm_getspecific() and scm_setspecific()
        to be functions instead of macros.

        * threads.c: Conditionalized inclusion of <sys/time.h> and
        <unistd.h>.
        (scm_getspecific, scm_setspecific): Made these two function
        real part of the API.

        * posix.c (s_scm_putenv): Added some code to make a 
        (putenv "FOO="), i.e. setting an empty string, work also on
        Win32 systems.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde for the proposal.

2003-06-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * posix.c (scm_putenv): Free temporary ptr in mingw unset.  Add
        freebsd to comment about need to use unsetenv.

        getc/ungetc calls.  Thanks to Dr. Peter Ivanyi!

2003-06-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * tags.h: Use inttypes.h and stdint.h when available, for INTPTR_MAX
        and friends required by scm_t_bits setups.

2003-06-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * tags.h (scm_tc2_int): Added.

        * tags.h (scm_tc3_int_1, scm_tc3_int_2): Expressed in terms of
        scm_tc2_int.

        * tags.h (scm_tcs_cons_imcar, scm_tcs_cons_nimcar, scm_tcs_struct,
        scm_tcs_closures): Hard coded values replaced by symbolic ones.

2003-06-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c: Partially undid my patch from 2003-05-31.  This patch
        caused the segfault referenced in the previous changelog entry.

2003-06-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * tags.h: Fixed comment about the immediate type code layout.

        * eval.c: Fixed handling of non-special instructions.  Without
        this patch, guile will segfault on (#\0) and similar instructions.

2003-06-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_max, scm_min): For inum, bignum and real, if other
        operand is NaN, then return NaN.  Also avoid passing NaN to mpz_cmp_d.

        * read.c (scm_input_error): Pass arg list parameter to scm_error_scm,
        rather than SCM_EOL.  Needed by "Unknown # object" case in scm_lreadr.
        
2003-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h, gc-card.c (SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT,
        SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT): Renamed macro
        SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT to SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT and
        generalized it to apply not only to C level functions but also to
        scheme level functions.

        * debug.c, debug.h, eval.c (make-iloc, scm_make_iloc, iloc?,
        scm_iloc_p, dbg-make-iloc, scm_dbg_make_iloc, dbg-iloc?,
        scm_dbg_iloc_p): Moved functions scm_make_iloc, scm_iloc_p to
        eval.c, made them available under SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT == 1
        only and renamed them to scm_dbg_make_iloc, scm_dbg_iloc_p,
        respectively.

        * deprecated.h, eval.c, eval.h (SCM_ILOC00, SCM_IDINC,
        SCM_IDSTMSK): Deprecated.  The macro definitions are moved from
        eval.h into eval.c and a copy is placed into deprecated.h.

        * eval.c, eval.h (SCM_MAKE_ILOC): Removed from eval.h and placed
        into eval.c. This definition was not part of the API in any
        officially released version of guile and thus does not need to go
        through a phase of deprecation.

2003-06-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * deprecated.c, deprecated.h, eval.c, eval.h (scm_s_expression,
        scm_s_test, scm_s_body, scm_s_bindings, scm_s_variable,
        scm_s_clauses, scm_s_formals): Deprecated.  In eval.c the
        definitions are make static and renamed from scm_s_xxx to s_xxx.
        In deprecated.c the original definitions are copied.

        * deprecated.h, eval.c, eval (SCM_EVALIM2, SCM_EVALIM, SCM_XEVAL,
        SCM_XEVALCAR): Deprecated.  The macro definitions are moved from
        eval.h into eval.c and a copy (slightly modified to work in user
        code) is placed into deprecated.h.

        * eval.c: Use the local static s_xxx definitions instead of the
        scm_s_xxx definitions throughout.

2003-06-01  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        This set of patches separates the representation of the cxr family
        of functions (car, cdr etc.) from the dsubr family of functions
        (i. e. functions that take a double precision floating point
        argument).  Further, the algorithm for handling the cxr function
        is improved.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY, scm_trampoline_1), numbers.c
        (scm_asinh, scm_acosh, scm_atanh, scm_truncate, scm_round, floor,
        ceil, sqrt, fabs, exp, log, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, sinh,
        cosh, tanh), objects.c (scm_class_of), procprop.c
        (scm_i_procedure_arity), ramap.c (scm_array_map_x), tags.h
        (scm_tc7_dsubr, scm_tcs_subrs): Introduce scm_tc7_dsubr as new
        typecode for the dsubr family of functions.

        * ramap.c (ramap_cxr, ramap_dsubr): Renamed ramap_cxr to
        ramap_dsubr.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY, call_cxr_1), pairs.c
        (scm_init_pairs): Make use of the (now usable) second cell element
        of a scm_tc7_cxr function to implement the cxr family of functions
        more efficiently.

2003-05-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY, scm_trampoline_0,
        scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2): Postpone error cases to the
        end of an if-else-if-sequence of checks.

2003-05-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Improved readability of call-with-values
        execution.  Generalize apply_closure to apply_proc and use that
        for call-with-values.

2003-05-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Avoid one level of indirection when applying
        a non closure.

2003-05-30  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * posix.c (s_scm_putenv): Use the new HAVE_UNSETENV 
        appropriately for mingw32 hosts.

        * numbers.h: Defining copysign(), isnan() and finite() to
        be prefixed by a single '_' for mingw32 hosts.

2003-05-30  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (z_negative_one): New variable.
        (scm_init_numbers): Initialize it.
        (scm_logcount): Use it and mpz_hamdist to count zeros for negatives.

2003-05-29  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * win32-dirent.c: Use malloc() instead of scm_malloc().

        * stime.c (s_scm_strftime): Add a type cast to avoid compiler
        warning.

        * posix.c (s_scm_putenv): Disable use of unsetenv() for the
        mingw32 build.

        * modules.c (s_scm_module_import_interface): Renamed local
        variable interface to _interface.  Seems like 'interface'
        is a special compiler directive for the mingw32 compiler.

        * mkstemp.c: Provide prototype to avoid compiler warning.

        * load.c (s_scm_search_path): Fixed absolute and relative
        path detections for native Windows platforms.

        * gc.h, threads.h: Export some more symbols using SCM_API (necessary 
        to build on mingw32).

        * gc-freelist.c ("s_scm_map_free_list", 
        "s_scm_gc_set_debug_check_freelist_x"): Fixed use of FUNC_NAME.

        * fports.c (fport_fill_input): Disable use of 
        fport_wait_for_input() on Win32 platforms.

        * filesys.c (s_scm_basename): Fixed __MINGW32__ code.

        * Makefile.am: Modified some rules for cross compiling.

2003-05-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): In case of an application, all checks for a
        proper function object and the correct number of arguments are now
        performed in the application part of SCM_CEVAL.

        (scm_badformalsp):  Removed.

2003-05-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * deprecated.c (scm_read_and_eval_x):  Fixed C99-ism.

2003-05-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): Avoid warning about conditional
        always being false by inserting preprocessor conditional.  (Thanks
        to Bruce Korb.)

        * __scm.h (SCM_STACK_PTR): New macro. (Cast argument through
        (void *) in order to avoid an aliasing warning; thanks to Bruce
        Korb.)

        * stackchk.h (SCM_STACK_OVERFLOW_P): Use SCM_STACK_PTR.

        * threads.c (suspend, launch_thread, scm_threads_mark_stacks): Use
        SCM_STACK_PTR.

        * threads.c (scm_threads_mark_stacks): Bugfix: Changed
        thread->base --> t->base.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Don't cast argument of SCM_STACK_OVERFLOW_P.

2003-05-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * deprecated.h, deprecated.c (scm_makstr, scm_makfromstr,
        scm_variable_set_name_hint, scm_builtin_variable,
        scm_internal_with_fluids, scm_make_gsubr,

        scm_set_smob_mfpe, scm_strprint_obj, scm_read_0str, scm_eval_0str,
        SCM_CHARS, SCM_UCHARS, SCM_LENGTH): Re-added from the release_1_6
        branch.  Some have been slightly rewritten.
        (scm_i_object_chars, scm_i_object_length): New, to support
        SCM_CHARS, SCM_UCHARS, and SCM_LENTH.
        
2003-05-19  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_m_do, unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL):  Reversed order of
        names and inits in the memoized code of do.

2003-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * c-tokenize.lex (yyget_lineno, yyget_in, yyget_out, yyget_leng,
        yyget_text, yyset_lineno, yyset_in, yyset_out, yyget_debug,
        yyset_debug, yylex_destroy): Added prototypes (otherwise we'll get
        a compilation error if error-on-warning is enabled).

2003-05-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * c-tokenize.lex: Gobble up complete lines after a '#'.  This
        removes preprocessor directives from the snarfage that might
        otherwise confuse us.  These directives appear when compiling with
        "-g3", for example.

2003-05-16  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * ChangeLog: add my surname

        * srcprop.c (scm_finish_srcprop): use
        scm_gc_register_collectable_memory()
        (scm_make_srcprops): idem.

2003-05-14  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        wrap-around for scm_mtrigger
        (scm_gc_register_collectable_memory): abort on overflowing
        scm_mallocated().

2003-05-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (xmpz_cmp_d): New macro, handling infs if gmp doesn't.
        (scm_num_eq_p, scm_less_p, scm_max, scm_min): Use it.

2003-05-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * backtrace.c (scm_display_error_message): Introduced fancy
        printing with max level 7 and length 10.  (Purpose: avoid printing
        gigantic objects in error messages.)

        * print.c, print.h (scm_i_port_with_print_state): New function.

        * print.c (scm_iprin1, scm_printer_apply,
        scm_port_with_print_state): Use scm_i_port_with_print_state.
        (scm_simple_format): Modified not to destroy print states.
        (print_state_mutex): New mutex.
        (scm_make_print_state, scm_free_print_state, scm_prin1):
        Lock/unlock print_state_mutex.
        
        * deprecated.h (SCM_GC8MARKP, SCM_SETGC8MARK, SCM_CLRGC8MARK):
        Use current names in definitions.

2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_num_eq_p, scm_less_p): Don't pass NaN to mpz_cmp_d.

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_length): On negative bignums, adjust
        mpz_sizeinbase to account for it looking at absolute value where we
        want ones-complement.

        * numbers.c (scm_gcd): In bignum/inum, don't pass yy==0 to mpz_gcd_ui
        since we're only using the ulong return value, and x might not fit.

2003-05-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c, eval.h, read.c, read.h (scm_sym_dot): Moved from eval to
        read.  This will allow to make the definition in read.c static.

2003-05-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c, eval.h, evalext.c, evalext.h (scm_m_undefine): Moved
        from evalext to eval.  This will allow to make some of the
        definitions in eval.c static.

2003-05-06  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * numbers.c (scm_difference): In inum - bignum, handle negative inum.
        (scm_logcount): Use mpz_com, not mpz_neg.

2003-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        The purpose of this patch is to make guile's internal memoizers
        distinguishable from memoizing macros created on the scheme level
        or from user provided primitive memoizing macros.  The reason is,
        that the internal memoizers are the only ones that are allowed to
        transform their scheme input into memoizer byte code, while all
        other memoizing macros may only transform scheme code into new
        scheme code.

        To achieve this, a new macro type 'builtin-macro!' is introduced.
        Currently, 'builtin-macro!'s are handled as memoizing macros, but
        this will change when the memoizer and executor are separated.

        * macros.[ch] (scm_i_makbimacro): New.

        * macros.h (SCM_BUILTIN_MACRO_P): New.

        * macros.c (macro_print, scm_macro_type): Support builtin-macro!s.

        * eval.c, goops.c: All of guile's primitive memoizing macros are
        primitive builtin-macros now.

        * eval.c (scm_macroexp, SCM_CEVAL): Make sure the primitive
        builtin-macros are handled equally to memoizing macros.

2003-05-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): Remove "asm volatile" hack.  It used to
        work around a bug in GCC 2.95.2 but is now a bug in itself.

2003-05-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * deprecated.h (scm_rstate, scm_rng, SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP,
        SCM_SLOPPY_NCONSP, scm_tc7_ssymbol, scm_tc7_msymbol,
        scm_tcs_symbols): New.

2003-04-30  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * deprecated.h, deprecated.c (scm_protect_object,
        scm_unprotect_object, SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETOR_CAR,
        SCM_SET_AND_CDR, SCM_SET_OR_CDR, SCM_FREEP, SCM_NFREEP,
        SCM_GC8MARKP, SCM_SETGC8MARK, SCM_CLRGC8MARK, SCM_GCTYP16,
        SCM_GCCDR, scm_remember, scm_the_root_module, scm_make_module,
        scm_ensure_user_module, scm_load_scheme_module, scm_port,
        scm_ptob_descriptor, scm_port_rw_active,
        scm_close_all_ports_except): New.

        * ports.c (scm_c_port_for_each): New function, mostly copied from
        scm_port_for_each.
        (scm_port_for_each): Reimplemented using scm_c_port_for_each.
        * ports.h (scm_c_port_for_each): New prototype.
        
2003-04-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * eval.c (scm_m_atdispatch): Removed until actually needed.  (This
        macro was introduced in anticipation of GOOPS method compilation
        code.)

        * goops.c: Removed binding of @dispatch.

2003-04-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c, goops.c (@dispatch, @slot-ref, @slot-set!): Move the
        instructions that bind the macros on the scheme level back to
        goops.c in order to make sure again that the bindings go into the
        (oop goops) module and are not visible from the outside.

2003-04-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c: Non functional change: Separated R5RS and non-R5RS
        macros into different sections of the file and ordered the
        memoizers alphabetically.

2003-04-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ilookup):  Rewritten to improve readability.

2003-04-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_i_call_closure_0, call_closure_1, call_closure_2):
        Partially reverted patch from 2003-04-23 in oder to find a better
        compromise between readability and debuggability.

2003-04-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c, eval.h, goops.c, goops.h (scm_m_atslot_ref,
        scm_m_atslot_set_x, scm_m_atdispatch): Move the declarations and
        definitions of the special goops memoizers from goops.[ch] to
        eval.[ch].  Hmm... it seems that scm_m_atdispatch is not used
        throughout guile.

2003-04-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * ports.c, ports.h (scm_i_port_table_mutex): New mutex.

        * ioext.c (scm_fdes_to_ports): Ditto.

        * vports.c (scm_make_soft_port): Changed SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS into
        lock/unlock scm_i_port_table_mutex.

        * strports.c (scm_mkstrport): Ditto.

        * ports.c (scm_void_port, scm_port_for_each): Ditto.

        * fports.c (scm_fdes_to_port): Ditto.

2003-04-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        This set of patches contains no functional changes, only debatable
        minor stylistic ones.  Still, in order to prepare a patch between
        my local copy and the CVS version, I decided to submit the changes
        below.  Then, the patch will hopefully only contain relevant
        modifications :-)

        * eval.c (iqq): Added const specifier.

        * eval.c (scm_trampoline_0, scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2):
        Use NULL instead of 0 to indicate that a pointer is returned.
        Removed some misleading 'fall through' comments.

        * eval.c (scm_i_call_closure_0, call_closure_1, call_closure_2):
        Split up long expressions into smaller ones to be more debugging
        friendly.

2003-04-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.h (SCM_ENTER_FRAME_HDLR, SCM_APPLY_FRAME_HDLR,
        SCM_EXIT_FRAME_HDLR): Use SCM_PACK to convert data to a SCM value
        rather than casting to SCM.

2003-04-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * sort.c, pairs.h: Removed unnecessary includes.

2003-04-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * sort.c: Replaced hand-made trampline code by the new official
        mechanism from eval.c.  This fixes a segfault in the new test file
        sort.test.

        (quicksort, compare_function, scm_restricted_vector_sort_x,
        scm_sorted_p, scm_merge, scm_merge_list_x, scm_merge_x,
        scm_merge_list_step, scm_sort_x, scm_sort, scm_merge_vector_x,
        scm_merge_vector_step, scm_stable_sort_x, scm_stable_sort,
        scm_sort_list_x, scm_sort_list): Use trampoline mechanism from
        eval.c.

        (subr2less, lsubrless, closureless, applyless, scm_cmp_function,
        cmp_fun_t): Removed.

        (compare_function): Added.

        * sort.c (quicksort, SWAP, stack_node): Replaced pointer
        arithmetics with index arithmetics.  Changed quicksort to work on
        an array of SCM values instead of an array of characters.  Avoid
        bytewise copying of SCM elements.  Avoid allocating memory on the
        stack with alloca.  Fixed some comments.

2003-04-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (EXTEND_ENV): Eliminated.

        (unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY): Use SCM_EXTEND_ENV instead of
        EXTEND_ENV.

2003-04-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT): New compile-time option.

        * gc.card.c (scm_gc_marked_p): Fixed compiler warning when
        compiling with SCM_DEBUG==1 by moving definition behind prototype.

        * gc.card.c (scm_dbg_t_list_cell, scm_dbg_t_double_cell,
        scm_dbg_gc_marked_p, scm_dbg_gc_get_card, scm_dbg_gc_get_bvec,
        scm_t_list_cell_struct, scm_t_list_cell, scm_t_double_cell,
        scm_gc_marked_p, scm_gc_get_card, scm_gc_get_bvec): Fixed
        functions such that they check if the object is a non-immediate.
        Further, renamed identifiers to use the scm_dbg_ prefix and made
        their inclusion into the lib dependent of the
        SCM_DEBUG_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT compile time option.

2003-04-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h: Fixed comment about the SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS
        debug option.

2003-04-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * list.c (scm_ilength, scm_last_pair), unif.c (l2ra): Prefer
        !SCM_CONSP over SCM_NCONSP.  Now, guile itself does not include
        any calls to SCM_NCONSP any more.

        * unif.c (l2ra): Eliminate redundant check.

2003-04-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * list.c (scm_cons_star), ramap.c (scm_ra_sum, scm_ra_product,
        scm_array_map_x), unif.c (l2ra): Prefer !SCM_NULLP over
        SCM_NNULLP.  Now, guile itself does not include any calls to
        SCM_NNULLP any more.

2003-04-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (unmemocopy, SCM_APPLY, scm_map, scm_for_each,
        scm_copy_tree): Place assignment expressions which are part of
        other expressions into an expression of their own.

        compare SCM values with !=.

2003-04-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c, eval.h, evalext.c, evalext.h (scm_sym_setter,
        scm_m_generalized_set_x, scm_init_evalext): Move the declaration
        and definition of the memoizer for the generalized set! macro from
        evalext.[ch] to eval.[ch].  Use the SCM_SYNTAX snarfer macro to
        define the macro object.

        * eval.c, eval.h (s_set_x, scm_s_set_x, scm_m_set_x,
        scm_m_generalized_set_x): Since now scm_s_set_x is only used in
        eval.c, it is made static and renamed to s_set_x.

        * evalext.c (scm_defined_p, scm_m_undefine): Prefer !SCM_<foo>
        over SCM_N<foo>.

2003-04-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c, root.h (scm_undefineds, SCM_NUM_PROTECTS, undefineds,
        scm_init_eval): Made scm_undefineds static in eval.c, renamed it
        to undefineds and registered the object as a permanent object.

        * eval.c, eval.h (scm_f_apply, scm_init_eval): Made scm_f_apply
        static in eval.c, renamed it to f_apply and registered the object
        as a permanent object.

2003-04-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_BIT7, SCM_BIT8, unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL): Renamed
        file-local macro SCM_BIT8 to SCM_BIT7, which is more appropriate.

2003-04-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_logtest):  Fixed argument bug in the call to
        mpz_and, which showed up when compiling with SCM_DEBUG defined.

2003-04-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gc-card.c (scm_i_sweep_card, scm_i_init_card_freelist): Fixed
        type errors that showed up when compiling with SCM_DEBUG defined.

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_expt): fix case where we were declaring
        vars in the middle of a statement block.  Thanks to Thamer
        Al-Harbash.

        * goops.c (TEST_CHANGE_CLASS): Update variable class after class
        change.

        * gc_os_dep.c: Added patch for UnixWare and OpenUNIX support.
        Thanks to Boyd Gerber.
        Added check for __arm__ in addition to arm for LINUX and copied

        reporting the problems.

        * numbers.c (PTRDIFF_MIN): use SCM_CHAR_BIT.

2003-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * goops.c (scm_sys_fast_slot_ref): Use SCM_SLOT instead of
        scm_at_assert_bound_ref.  (We don't want the unbound check.  See
        oop/goops/active-slot.scm.)

2003-04-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * tags.h: scm_t_intptr should have been intptr_t.

2003-04-13  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * __scm.h (SCM_FLUSH_REGISTER_WINDOWS): don't just rely on "sparc"
        test.  Instead use
        #if defined (sparc) || defined (__sparc__) || defined (__sparc)
        as gc_os_dep.c suggests is appropriate.

        * goops.c (prep_hashsets): make static to match prototype.
        (scm_sym_args): SCM_SYMBOL -> SCM_GLOBAL_SYMBOL.  Thanks to Albert
        Chin.
        
        * c-tokenize.lex: remove trailing comma from enum.  Thanks to
        Albert Chin.

2003-02-25  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * gc-segment.c: add comment

2003-04-07  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * debug.h: change "id" arg name to "info_id" to avoid objective-c
        clash.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): fix bug pointed out by Mikael
        and add regression test to standalone/.

2003-04-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * strings.c (scm_mem2string): use memcpy rather than by-hand loop.
        Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

        * random.c: #include gmp.h.
        (scm_c_random_bignum): normalize result on return.

        * init.c: #include gmp.h.

        * numbers.h: remove the gmp.h #include (not needed now).

        * posix.h: change occurences of "id" to something else so we don't
        cause trouble when included via objective-c (can't hurt, might
        help).  Still have usage in debug.h, though.

2003-04-06  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * random.c (scm_c_random_bignum): Don't generate a random number
        equal to m (the second argument of scm_c_random_bignum); only
        generate numbers in the range 0 <= r < m.
        (scm_c_default_rstate): Use SCM_VARIABLE_REF to access
        scm_var_random_state.

        * num2integral.i.c (INTEGRAL2BIG): Put negation of n inside then
        clause.

2003-04-05  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        uses before any code.

2003-04-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * Makefile.am (scmconfig.h): Look for config.h in top_builddir,
        not top_srcdir.

        * hashtab.c (rehash_after_gc): Clear to_rehash list before
        processing it in order to avoid an infinite loop.

        * print.c (scm_prin1): Remember old state of pstate->writingp.

2003-04-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        (ipv6_net_to_num, ipv6_num_to_net, bignum_in_ipv6_range_p):
        rewrite to handle GMP bignums.

        * eval.c: remove SCM_BIGDIG conditionals.

        * eq.c (s_scm_eqv_p): scm_i_bigcomp -> scm_i_bigcmp.

2003-03-31  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * Makefile.am (scmconfig.h): change srcdir to builddir.  (Thanks
        to Kevin Ryde.)

2003-03-27  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_class_applicable,
        scm_class_extended_accessor): New classes.

2003-03-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * procs.c (scm_procedure_documentation): Removed redundant
        SCM_NIMP test and replaced other calls to SCM_IMP by more explicit
        predicates.

2003-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * list.c, list.h (scm_filter, scm_filter_x): New functions.

        * modules.c (scm_module_import_interface): New function.

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_class_accessor_method): Renamed from
        scm_class_accessor.
        (scm_class_accessor): New class.

2003-03-06  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * goops.c (scm_primitive_generic_generic): Enable primitive
        generic if not enabled.
        (scm_sys_goops_loaded): Setup unextended primitive generics.

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_c_extend_primitive_generic): New function.

        * snarf.h (SCM_PRIMITIVE_GENERIC, SCM_PRIMITIVE_GENERIC_1): New
        snarf macros.

        * numbers.c (scm_abs): Use SCM_PRIMITIVE_GENERIC.  (This is only a
        testing example.  All uses of SCM_GPROC should be converted.)

        * procprop.c (scm_stand_in_scm_proc): Use scm_assq instead of
        scm_assoc.

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p): Turned into a primitive generic.

2003-02-27  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * Makefile.am (scmconfig.h): new target -- generate file from
        ../config.h.
        (modinclude_HEADERS): remove version.h.
        (nodist_modinclude_HEADERS): add version.h.

2003-02-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        This fixes a serious GC bug, introduced during the latest
        reorganization of the GC, which disabled freeing of structs and
        GOOPS objects:

        * struct.c (scm_struct_prehistory): Init scm_i_structs_to_free to
        SCM_EOL.
        (scm_struct_prehistory): Move scm_free_structs to
        scm_before_mark_c_hook.

        * gc-card.c (sweep_card): Check that we haven't swept structs on
        this card before.  That can happen if scm_i_sweep_all_segments has
        been called from some other place than scm_igc.

2003-02-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * environments.c (DEFAULT_OBARRAY_SIZE): Changed from 137 to 31
        (since hash tables now adapt their size).

        * modules.c (scm_modules_prehistory): Changed from 2001 to 1533
        (current number of prehistory bindings; hashtable code will select
        a prime which is greater than this value).

        * symbols.c (scm_symbols_prehistory): Changed from 1009 to 2139
        (current number of initial symbols).

        * properties.c (scm_init_properties): Don't specify size of
        scm_properties_whash.

        * objprop.c (scm_init_objprop): Don't specify size of
        scm_object_whash.

        * keywords.c (scm_init_keywords): Don't specify a hash table size.

        * hooks.c (scm_c_hook_add): Fixed bug in append mode.

        The following changes introduce the use of resizable hash tables
        throughout Guile.  It also renames the old *-hash-table* functions
        to *-alist-vector* and places them, together with the rest of the
        weak vector support, in the module (ice-9 weak-vector).  We should
        probably introduce a new, better, API for weak references, for
        example "weak pairs" a la MIT-Scheme.  (In Chez scheme, they even
        look like and are used like ordinary pairs.)

        * environments.c (obarray_enter, obarray_retrieve, obarray_remove,
        leaf_environment_fold, obarray_remove_all): Use hashtable
        accessors.

        * gc.c (scm_init_storage): Moved hook initialization to
        scm_storage_prehistory.
        (scm_storage_prehistory): New function.
        (scm_igc): Added commentary about placement of
        scm_after_sweep_c_hook.

        * gc-mark.c (scm_mark_all): Use hashtable accessors.
        (scm_gc_mark_dependencies): Use SCM_WVECT_WEAK_KEY_P and
        SCM_WVECT_WEAK_VALUE_P.

        * hashtab.c, hashtab.h (scm_hash_for_each, scm_hash_map): New
        functions.
        (scm_vector_to_hash_table, scm_c_make_resizing_hash_table):
        Removed.
        (scm_make_weak_key_hash_table, scm_make_weak_value_hash_table,
        scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table): Moved here from weaks.c.

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Removed call to scm_init_weaks; Added
        calls to scm_storage_prehistory and scm_hashtab_prehistory.

        * modules.c (module-reverse-lookup): Use hashtable accessors.

        * symbols.c, symbols.h (scm_i_hash_symbol): New function.

        * weaks.c, weaks.h (scm_make_weak_key_alist_vector,
        scm_make_weak_value_alist_vector,
        scm_make_doubly_weak_alist_vector): New functions.

        * weaks.c (scm_init_weaks_builtins): New function.

        * weaks.h (SCM_WVECTF_WEAK_KEY, SCM_WVECTF_WEAK_VALUE,
        SCM_WVECTF_NOSCAN, SCM_WVECT_WEAK_KEY_P, SCM_WVECT_WEAK_VALUE_P,
        SCM_WVECT_NOSCAN_P): New macros.

        * weaks.c (scm_scan_weak_vectors):  Use SCM_WVECT_WEAK_KEY_P
        and SCM_WVECT_WEAK_VALUE_P.

        * weaks.c, weaks.h (scm_i_allocate_weak_vector): Renamed from
        allocate_weak_vector and exported.

2003-02-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * hashtab.c: Undid thread safety.  (We decided that it's better to
        let the user explicitly protect the tables (or not) according what
        is suitable for the application.)

2003-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_remove_x, scm_internal_hash_fold): Made
        thread safe and handle resizing tables.
        (scm_ihashx, scm_sloppy_assx, scm_delx_x): Removed
        SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.

2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * hashtab.c (scm_vector_to_hash_table,
        scm_c_make_resizing_hash_table, scm_make_hash_table): New
        functions.
        (scm_hash_fn_get_handle, scm_hash_fn_create_handle_x): Made thread
        safe and handle resizing tables.

        * weaks.c (scm_make_weak_key_hash_table,
        scm_make_weak_value_hash_table, scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table):
        Size argument made optional.  Return resizable table if not
        specified.

2003-02-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * eval.c (scm_trampoline_0, scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2):
        Fixed formals tests for closures.  (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)

2003-02-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * debug.c (scm_procedure_source): Handle all objects for which
        procedure? is #t.  (Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.)

2003-01-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * futures.c (mark_futures): Don't need to mark data of recycled
        futures.
        (scan_futures, cleanup_undead): Be smarter about marking
        futures---avoid unnecessary passes through future lists.

        * futures.h, futures.c: New files; Introduced recycling of
        futures.  For fine-grained threading this lifts performance to
        another level.  We can now use parallelization in inner loops of
        Guile programs without impossible overhead.

        * threads.h, threads.c: Moved futures to their own file.

        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Added futures.c.
        (DOT_X_FILES): Added futures.x.
        (DOT_DOC_FILES): Added futures.doc.
        (modinclude_HEADERS): Added futures.h.

        * threads.c, threads.h (scm_i_create_thread): Renamed from
        create_thread and made global.

        * futures.c (scm_make_future): New procedure.

        * eval.c: #include "libguile/futures.h".

        * init.c: #include "futures.h"
        (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_init_futures.

        * stime.c (SCM_TIME_UNITS_PER_SECOND): Renamed from CLKTCK.

        * stime.h (SCM_TIME_UNITS_PER_SECOND): Definition moved here.

        * eval.c, eval.h (scm_trampoline_0, scm_i_call_closure_0): New
        functions.

        * eval.c (scm_trampoline_1): Fixed arguments test for closures.

2003-01-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * threads.c (create_thread): Don't unwind dynwind chain of parent
        thread before creation.  Just start the new thread with an empty
        dynwind chain.

2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * evalext.c, evalext.h (scm_self_evaluating_p): New function.

2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * threads.c (scm_timed_wait_condition_variable): Support timed
        waiting also for simple condition variables.

        * goops.c (TEST_CHANGE_CLASS): Use scm_change_object_class instead
        of calling the procedure change-object-class.

2003-01-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * ramap.c (scm_ramapc): Typo in error message.

2003-01-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * goops.c (scm_sys_prep_layout_x): Bugfix: Only create layout for
        slots with instance allocation.
        
        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_class_extended_generic_with_setter): New
        class.
        (scm_compute_applicable_methods): Use scm_generic_function_methods.

        * goops.c (scm_generic_function_methods): Support extended
        generic functions.

2002-12-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * eval.c (unmemocopy): Bugfix: scm_sym_delay --> scm_sym_future.
        Thanks to Neil for pointing this out!

2002-12-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * lang.h: Remove declarations matching definitions removed from
        lang.c (just below).

2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * lang.c (scm_nil_cons, scm_nil_car, scm_nil_cdr, scm_null,
        scm_m_while, scm_nil_eq): Remove definitions that were superfluous
        and already commented out.

        * read.h (scm_lreadparen), read.c (scm_lreadr, scm_read_token,
        scm_lreadparen): Support reading vectors with Elisp syntax if
        SCM_ELISP_READ_EXTENSIONS is defined.  (SCM_ELISP_READ_EXTENSIONS
        is not currently defined, and there isn't even a configure switch
        to enable it yet.)

2002-12-26  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (c-tokenize.o): Refer to source via $< so that vpath
        builds work.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Added version.h.in.
        
2002-12-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        This change makes it possible for one thread to do lazy sweeping
        while other threads are running.  Now only the mark phase need to
        have all threads asleep.  We should look further into this issue.
        Presently, I've put the locking of scm_i_sweep_mutex at
        "conservative" places due to my current lack of knowledge about
        the garbage collector.  Please feel free to restrict these regions
        further to allow for maximal parallelism!

        * gc.c, gc.h (scm_i_sweep_mutex): New mutex.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_for_newcell), gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc,
        scm_gc_register_collectable_memory): Substitute locking of
        scm_i_sweep_mutex for calls to scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep.
        (scm_igc): Lock sweep mutex here instead of in callers; Calls to
        scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep/scm_i_thread_wake_up used to demarkate
        the single-thread section (which now only contains the mark
        phase).
        (scm_gc): Don't lock sweeo mutex here since scm_igc locks it;
        Removed SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.  Simply call scm_igc directly.

        * threads.c (gc_section_mutex): Removed.

2002-12-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * threads.c (create_thread): Clear parent field in root state in
        order not to unnecessarily remember dead threads.

        * eval.c (call_subr2o_1, call_lsubr2_2): New functions.
        (scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2): Use them.

2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        Partial introduction of real plugin interface.

        * Makefile.am (modinclude_HEADERS): Added threads-plugin.h.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Added threads-plugin.c.

        * threads-plugin.h, threads-plugin.c: New files.

        * threads.h: #include "libguile/threads-plugin.h".

        * threads.c: #include "libguile/threads-plugin.c".

        * pthread-threads.c: Temporarily remove debugging functions.

        * threads.c, threads.h (scm_yield): Added back.

2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * threads.c (really_launch): Detach before unlocking
        thread_admin_mutex in order not to risk being joined.
        (scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep, scm_i_thread_wake_up): Keep
        thread_admin_mutex locked during GC.

        * pthread-threads.c, pthread-threads.h: Improvements to debugging
        functions.

2002-12-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * pthread-threads.c, pthread-threads.h (SCM_DEBUG_THREADS): Added
        support for debugging mutex operations.

        * threads.c (scm_thread): Removed filed joining_threads.
        (thread_print): Print thread number as well as address of thread
        structure.
        (scm_join_thread): Bugfix.
        (scm_lock_mutex, scm_try_mutex, scm_unlock_mutex,
        scm_timed_wait_condition_variable, scm_signal_condition_variable,
        scm_broadcast_condition_variable): Use the low-level API.
        (scm_all_threads): Return copy of thread list (to prevent
        unintended destruction).
        (scm_threads_prehistory): Initialize heap_mutex of fake thread.

        * pthread-threads.c, pthread-threads.h, threads.c: Fixes to
        pthread "native" recursive mutex support.

2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * __scm.h (SCM_DEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS): New definitions.
        Simply lock a thread C API recursive mutex.
        (SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
        SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
        SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): Removed.

        * eval.c: Replaced SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END with
        direct calls to scm_rec_mutex_lock / unlock around the three calls
        to scm_m_expand_body.

        * eval.c, eval.h (promise_free): New function.
        (scm_force): Rewritten;  Now thread-safe; Removed
        SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.

        * pthread-threads.h: Added partially implemented plugin interface
        for recursive mutexes.  These are, for now, only intended to be
        used internally within the Guile implementation.

        * pthread-threads.c: New file.

        * threads.c: Conditionally #include "pthread-threads.c".

        * eval.c, eval.h (scm_makprom, scm_force): Rewritten to be
        thread-safe;

        * snarf.h (SCM_MUTEX, SCM_GLOBAL_MUTEX, SCM_REC_MUTEX,
        SCM_GLOBAL_REC_MUTEX): New macros.

        * eval.c, threads.c, threads.h, snarf.h: Rewrote critical section
        macros---use mutexes instead.

        * tags.h (SCM_IM_FUTURE): New tag.

        * eval.c (scm_m_future): New primitive macro.
        (SCM_CEVAL): Support futures.
        (unmemocopy): Support unmemoization of futures.

        * print.c (scm_isymnames): Name of future isym.

        * version.c: Unmade some changes to my private copy that got
        committed by mistake.

2002-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * gc-malloc.c, gc.h, init.c: Reverted gc-malloc change of
        2002-12-10.

        * gc.c (scm_igc): Don't call scm_i_thread_invalidate_freelists.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Call it here instead, which is a more
        logical place.

        * threads.c (create_thread): Remember root object until the handle
        of the new thread is on all_threads list.

        * root.c (scm_make_root): Moved copying of fluids until after
        creation of root handle so that the fluids are GC protected.  Also
        removed the critical section.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * gc-malloc.c, gc.h (scm_gc_malloc_prehistory): New function.

        * gc-malloc.c (malloc_mutex): New mutex.
        (scm_gc_malloc_prehistory): Initialize it.
        (scm_realloc): Serialize call to realloc
        (scm_calloc): Same for calloc.
        Thanks to Wolfgang Jaehrling!
        (Now we have to make sure all calls to malloc/realloc are made
        through scm_malloc.)

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_gc_malloc_prehistory.

        * threads.c (really_launch): Release heap (to prevent deadlock).
        (create_thread): Release heap before locking thread admin mutex.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * threads.c (scm_i_thread_invalidate_freelists): New
        function.

        * gc.c (scm_igc): Call scm_i_thread_invalidate_freelists.

        * modules.c (scm_export): Inserted a return statement.

2002-12-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * modules.c (scm_export): new function

        * gc-card.c: add a note about malloc()/free() overhead.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

        * Makefile.am (c-tokenize.$(OBJEXT)): Don't look for c-tokenize.c
        in srcdir.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        These changes remove scm_ints_disabled (which hasn't has any
        effect in Guile for quite some time).
        
        * async.c, error.h (scm_ints_disabled): Removed.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_for_newcell), init.c (scm_init_guile_1),
        root.c (scm_internal_cwdr), gdbint.c (SCM_BEGIN_FOREIGN_BLOCK,
        SCM_END_FOREIGN_BLOCK): Don't touch scm_ints_disabled.
        (old_ints): Removed.

        * __scm.h (SCM_DEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS): Define as a recursive
        critical section.
        (SCM_REDEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS): Define as SCM_DEFER_INTS and
        SCM_ALLOW_INTS.

2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * threads.c (scm_mutex_lock, scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait):
        Removed accidental #if 0 around these functions.

        These changes are the start of support for preemptive
        multithreading.  Marius and I have agreed that I commit this code
        into the repository although it isn't thoroughly tested and surely
        introduces many bugs.  The bugs should only be exposed when using
        threads, though.  Signalling and error handling for threads is
        very likely broken.  Work on making the implementation cleaner and
        more efficient is needed.
        
        * __scm.h (SCM_ALLOW_INTS_ONLY): Removed.
        (SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
        SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
        SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): New macros.
        (SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START/END): Defined here.

        * eval.c: Insert SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END around
        the three calls to scm_m_expand_body.

        * gc.h: #include "libguile/pthread-threads.h";
        (SCM_FREELIST_CREATE, SCM_FREELIST_LOC): New macros.

        * gc.c (scm_i_freelist, scm_i_freelist2): Defined to be of type
        scm_t_key;

        * gc.c, gc-freelist.c, inline.h: Use SCM_FREELIST_LOC for freelist
        access.

        * gc-freelist.c (scm_gc_init_freelist): Create freelist keys.

        * gc-freelist.c, threads.c (really_launch): Use
        SCM_FREELIST_CREATE.

        * gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc, scm_gc_register_collectable_memory):

        * gc.c (scm_i_expensive_validation_check, scm_gc,
        scm_gc_for_newcell): Put threads to sleep before doing GC-related
        heap administration so that those pieces of code are executed
        single-threaded.  We might consider rewriting these code sections
        in terms of a "call_gc_code_singly_threaded" construct instead of
        calling the pair of scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep () and
        scm_i_thread_wake_up ().  Also, we would want to have as many of
        these sections eleminated.

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_threads_prehistory.

        * inline.h: #include "libguile/threads.h"

        * pthread-threads.h: Macros now conform more closely to the
        pthreads interface.  Some of them now take a second argument.

        * threads.c, threads.h: Many changes.

2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * Makefile.am (version.h): Changed $^ --> $< in rule for
        version.h.
        
2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * version.h.in (SCM_MICRO_VERSION): use @--@ substitution now.
        (SCM_MINOR_VERSION): use @--@ substitution now.
        (SCM_MICRO_VERSION): use @--@ substitution now.
        (scm_effective_version): new function prototype.

        * version.c (scm_effective_version): new function, also add
        effective-version.

        * Makefile.am (schemelibdir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
        (libpath.h): use GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION to compute
        SCM_LIBRARY_DIR.
        (version.h): generate this here rather than configure.in.  This
        approach tracks source edits better (i.e. more immediately).
        Might be worth considering for other .in files too.

2002-12-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        Reorganized thread package selection.  A thread package now only
        implements a small set of pthread like functions and Guile
        implements the rest on top of that.  Guile's implementation is
        what the "coop-pthreads" package has been previously.  Support for
        "coop" threads has been removed until I get time to add it again.
        
        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Removed iselect.c.
        (noinst_HEADERS): Removed coop-threads.c, coop-threads.h, coop.c,
        null-threads.c, coop-pthreads.c.
        (modinclude_HEADERS): Removed coop-defs.h, coop-pthreads.h.  Added
        pthread-threads.h.
        
        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_THREAD): Moved to threads.h.

        * threads.h: Do not include "libguile/coop-defs.h".  Include
        "libguile/pthread-threads.h" for USE_COPT_THREADS.  Removed
        (previously deprecated) C level thread API prototypes.  They are
        now in the thread package specific headers, "null-threads.h" and
        "pthread-threads.h".
        (SCM_VALIDATE_THREAD, SCM_VALIDATE_MUTEX, SCM_VALIDATE_CONDVAR):
        New.
        (scm_threads_init): Removed.
        (SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START, SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_END,
        SCM_THREAD_SWITCHING_CODE, scm_i_switch_counter,
        SCM_I_THREAD_SWITCH_COUNT): Define here.
        (scm_single_thread_p): Removed.
        (scm_call_with_new_thread): Take two args directly instead of list
        of two args.
        (scm_i_thread_data, scm_i_set_thread_data, SCM_THREAD_LOCAL_DATA,
        SCM_SET_THREAD_LOCAL_DATA): Define here.

        * threads.c: Merged with "coop-pthreads.c".

        * null-threads.h: Implement pthread-like API as a set of macros.

        * pthread-threads.h: New, implement pthread-like API by deferring
        to pthread itself.
        
        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Do not call scm_init_iselect, which
        has been lost in the reorganization.

2002-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        The following change makes it possible to move procedure
        application dispatch outside inner loops.  The motivation was
        clean implementation of efficient replacements of R5RS primitives
        in SRFI-1.

        The semantics is clear: scm_trampoline_N returns an optimized
        version of scm_call_N (or NULL if the procedure isn't applicable
        on N args).

        Applying the optimization to map and for-each increases efficiency
        noticeably.  For example, (map abs ls) is 8 times faster than
        before.

        * eval.h (scm_t_trampoline_1, scm_t_trampoline_2): New types.

        * eval.c, eval.h (scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2): New functions.

        * eval.c (call_subr2_2, call_lsubr_2, call_closure_2): New functions;
        (map, for-each): Handle also application on two args as a special
        case; Use trampolines.

        Other changes:
        
        * sort.c (scm_cmp_function): Choose subr2less for scm_tc7_subr_2o;
        (subr2oless): Removed.
        (scm_restricted_vector_sort_x): Use scm_return_first to keep the
        vector GC protected.

        * eval.c (check_map_args): Use scm_out_of_range_pos instead of
        scm_out_of_range.

2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * evalext.[ch] (scm_m_undefine, undefine):  Deprecated.

2002-11-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * debug.c (scm_make_iloc): Added missing "return".

2002-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * strports.c (scm_eval_string_in_module): Validate second arg to
        be a module.  Thanks to Arno Peters!

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * .cvsignore: remove goops.c

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * modules.c (scm_env_top_level, scm_lookup_closure_module,
        module_variable, scm_module_lookup_closure,
        scm_module_transformer, scm_sym2var, scm_module_reverse_lookup,
        scm_system_module_env_p):  Don't compare SCM values with C
        operators == or !=.  Avoid SCM_IMP predicates.  Prefer !SCM_FALSEP
        over SCM_NFALSEP.

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.h (SCM_MAKE_ILOC):  New macro.

        * debug.c (scm_make_iloc):  Use SCM_MAKE_ILOC instead of computing
        the iloc bitpattern here.

2002-11-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * coop-pthreads.c, coop-pthreads.h: scm_internal_select should be
        part of the API, otherwise it's difficult to write Guile
        extensions using non-blocking I/O => moved #include
        "libguile/iselect.h" from coop-pthreads.c --> coop-pthreads.h.

        * coop-pthreads.c (scm_unlock_mutex): Changed s_lock_mutex -->
        s_unlock_mutex.

2002-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * __scm.h (USE_THREADS, GUILE_ISELECT): Do not define here.  They
        are defined in configure.in.

        * threads.c: Removed SCM_API from function definitions.  SCM_API
        is only for declarations.

2002-11-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * coop-pthreads.h: Added support for thread specific data to the
        generic C API for the coop-pthreads case.

        * threads.c, threads.h (scm_cond_init): Undo unintentional API
        change.
        (scm_cond_broadcast): Added missing function.

2002-11-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * coop.c (coop_next_runnable_thread): Removed, wich should have
        happened when GUILE_ISELECT was hard-wired.

2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Added threads.c
        (DOT_DOC_FILES): Added threads.doc.
        (DOT_X_FILES): Added threads.x.
        (EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): Removed threads.c.
        (noinst_HEADERS): Added coop-pthreads.c.
        (modinclude_HEADERS): Added coop-pthreads.h.

        * __scm.h (USE_THREADS, GUILE_ISELECT): Define when
        SCM_DEBUG_DEPRECATED.  Removed their use thru-out Guile.

        * iselect.c: Include "_scm.h" before testing HAVE_UNISTD_H.
        Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_expt): Make 0^z == 0 for z != 0.

        * _scm.h (HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Do define even when
        SCM_COPT_THREADS is defined.
        (SCM_SYSCALL): Use EINTR-expection version when SCM_COPT_THREADS
        is defined.
        
        * coop-pthreads.c: Some harmless renamings of internal stuff.
        (create_thread): New, generalized version of
        scm_call_with_new_thread.
        (scm_call_with_new_thread): Use it.
        (scm_spawn_thread): New, use create_thread.
        
2002-11-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * coop-pthreads.c, coop-pthreads.h: Redone completely, you might
        start testing it now.

        * _scm.h: Include <errno.h< so that SCM_SYSCALL is correctly
        defined when HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS is not defined.
        (HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Do not define when USE_COPT_THREADS
        is defined.

2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * scmsigs.c (signal_cell_handlers, install_handler_data,
        scm_delq_spine_x, really_install_handler, install_handler): New
        scheme for triggering signal handlers, to simplify take_signal.
        (take_signal): Simplified, to avoid race conditions.
        (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Use new Scheme.  Validate that thread
        hasn't exited yet.
        
        * async.c (scm_async_click): Reset pending_asyncs, handle
        signal_asyncs.  Don't set cdr of a non-signal async to #f.
        (scm_i_queue_async_cell): Do not check cdr of cell for #f, queue
        always.  Set pending_asyncs.
        (scm_system_async_mark_for_thread): Check that thread has not
        exited.
        (scm_unmask_signals, decrease_block): Call scm_async_click after
        block_asyncs becomes zero.
        
        * __scm.h (SCM_ASYNC_CLICK): Check pending_asyncs instead of
        active_asyncs.

        * root.h (scm_root_state): Added pending_asyncs and signal_asyncs
        fields.
        * root.c (root_mark): Mark them.
        (make_root): Initialize them.
        
        * iselect.c, iselect.h: Replaced GUILE_ISELECT with
        USE_COOP_THREADS.
        (scm_internal_select): Define one version for USE_COOP_THREADS and
        one for USE_NULL_THREADS.
        (scm_init_iselect): Likewise.
        
        * inline.h (scm_cell, scm_double_cell): Also allow
        USE_COPT_THREADS to not protect the slot initializers.
        
        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_init_thread_procs.  This is
        because threads need to be initialized before the stack, but
        gsubrs such as scm_timed_condition_variable_wait can only be
        created later.

        * threads.h: Include "coop-pthreads.h" when requested.
        (scm_threads_make_mutex, scm_threads_lock_mutex,
        scm_threads_unlock_mutex, scm_threads_monitor): Removed, they were
        not implemented anyway.
        (scm_init_thread_procs, scm_try_mutex,
        scm_timed_condition_variable_wait,
        scm_broadcast_condition_variable, scm_c_thread_exited_p,
        scm_thread_exited_p): New prototypes.
        (struct timespec): Define if not already defined.
        (scm_t_mutex, scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_trylock,
        scm_mutex_unlock, scm_mutex_destroy, scm_t_cond, scm_cond_init,
        scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait, scm_cond_signal,
        scm_cond_broadcast, scm_cond_destroy): Declarations moved here and
        deprecated.

        * threads.c: Include <errno.h>.  Include "coop-pthreads.c" when
        requested.
        (scm_thread_exited_p): New.
        (scm_try_mutex, scm_broadcast_condition_variable): Newly
        registered procedures.
        (scm_wait_condition_variable, scm_timed_wait_condition_variable):
        Use the latter as the procedure for "wait-condition-variable",
        thus offering a optional timeout parameter to Scheme.
        (scm_wait_condition_variable): Implement in terms of
        scm_timed_wait_condition_variable.
        (scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_trylock,
        scm_mutex_unlock, scm_mutex_destroy, scm_cond_init,
        scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait, scm_cond_signal,
        scm_cond_broadcast, scm_cond_destroy): Implement in terms of
        scm_make_mutex, etc, and deprecate.
        (scm_init_threads): Do not create smobs, leave this to
        scm_threads_init.  Do not include "threads.x" file.
        (scm_init_thread_procs): New, include "threads.x" here.

        * null-threads.h (scm_null_mutex, scm_null_mutex_init,
        scm_null_mutex_lock, scm_null_mutex_unlock,
        scm_null_mutex_destroy, scm_null_condvar, scm_null_condvar_init,
        scm_null_condvar_wait, scm_null_condvar_signal,
        scm_null_condvar_destroy): Removed.
        (scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_unlock, scm_cond_init,
        scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_signal, scm_cond_broadcast,
        scm_cond_destory): Do not define, they are now deprecated and
        handled by threads.{h,c}.
        
        * null-threads.c (scm_null_mutex, scm_null_cond): Define here.
        (scm_threads_init): Create smobs here, using the appropriate
        sizes.
        (block): Removed, now unused.
        (scm_c_thread_exited_p): New.

        scm_null_mutex_destroy, scm_null_condvar_init,
        scm_null_condvar_wait, scm_null_condvar_signal,
        scm_null_condvar_destroy): Removed and updated users to do their
        task directly.
        (scm_try_mutex, timeval_subtract,
        scm_timed_wait_condition_variable,
        scm_broadcast_condition_variable): New.
        (scm_wait_condition_variable): Removed.

        * coop-defs.h (coop_m): Added 'level' field.
        (scm_t_mutex, scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_trylock,
        scm_mutex_unlock, scm_mutex_destroy, scm_t_cond, scm_cond_init,
        scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait, scm_cond_signal,
        scm_cond_broadcast, scm_cond_destroy, struct timespec): Do not
        define.
        (coop_condition_variable_broadcast): New.

        * coop-threads.c (scm_threads_init): Create smobs here, using the
        appropriate sizes.

        scm_timed_wait_condition_variable,
        scm_broadcast_condition_variable): New.
        (scm_wait_condition_variable): Removed.

        * coop.c (coop_new_mutex_init): Initialize level.
        (coop_mutex_trylock, coop_mutex_lock, coop_mutex_unlock): maintain
        level.
        (coop_condition_variable_signal): Renamed to
        coop_condition_variable_broadcast and reimplemented in terms of
        that.  Thus...
        (coop_condition_variable_broadcast): New.

        * goops.c (hell_mutex): Reimplemented using scm_make_mutex, etc.

        * coop-pthreads.h, coop-pthreads.c: New, but unfinished.
        
2002-10-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * null-threads.c: Include <time.h>.  Also, use <...> for inclusion
        of system headers.

        * async.c, goops.h, modules.h, validate.h (SCM_MAKE_VALIDATE_MSG):
        New.  Use it instead of SCM_MAKE_VALIDATE in lots of places to
        give better error messages.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!

2002-10-19  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * evalext.h, evalext.c (scm_definedp, scm_defined_p):  Renamed
        scm_definedp to scm_defined_p and deprecated scm_definedp.

2002-10-19  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        argument.

        * coop-threads.c (scm_i_thread_root): Do not validate argument.

        * feature.c (scm_init_feature): Don't add 'threads' for
        USE_NULL_THREADS.

        * inline.h (scm_cell, scm_double_cell): Also allow
        USE_NULL_THREADS to not protect the slot initializers.

        * scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): It's "USE_THREADS" not
        "USE_THREAD".

        * Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Added null-threads.c.
        (modinclude_HEADERS): Added null-threads.h.

        * threads.h: Include null-threads.h when !USE_COOP_THREADS.
        * threads.c: Include null-threads.c when !USE_COOP_THREADS.
        (scm_init_threads): Use generic type names scm_t_mutex and
        scm_t_cond instead of coop_m and coop_c.

        * null-threads.c, null-threads.h: New files.

2002-10-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am: Replaced "$<" in non-pattern rules with its value.
        This is to support makes that know about "$<" only in pattern
        rules, like Sun's make.

2002-10-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (libpath.h): Fixed typo in top_srcdir_absolute
        substitution.  Thanks to David Allouche!

2002-10-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * evalext.h:  Replaced SCM_DEBUG_DEPRECATED with
        !SCM_ENABLE_DEPRECATED.

2002-10-11  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * async.c (scm_system_async_mark_for_thread): Only call
        scm_i_thread_root when USE_THREADS is defined.  Use scm_root
        otherwise.

        * scmsigs.c (take_signal): Only call scm_i_thread_root when
        USE_THREADS is defined.  Use scm_root otherwise.
        (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Ignore THREAD argument when
        USE_THREADS is not defined.  Also, move THREAD argument defaulting
        out of HAVE_SIGACTION section, which was a bug.

2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Store original handler in
        signal_handlers, not the closure that is used as the async.
        The closure is stored in signal_handler_cells, as previously.

        * gc-malloc.c (scm_gc_register_collectable_memory): use floats;
        these won't ever wrap around with high memory usage. Thanks to
        Sven Hartrumpf for finding this.

        * gc-segment.c (scm_i_get_new_heap_segment): use float in stead of
        unsigned numbers for computing minimum heap increment. This
        prevents weird results when a a negative minimum increment is
        computed.

2002-08-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * gc_os_dep.c: When we have __libc_stack_end, use that directly
        instead of the old tricks.

        * guile-snarf.in: Do not expect the input file to be the first
        argument after the optional "-o" option, just pass everything to
        the pre-processor without extracting the input file name.

2002-08-23  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * gc-segment.c (scm_i_get_new_heap_segment): Oops. We want segment
        length *at* least SCM_MIN_HEAP_SEG_SIZE, not at most.  

2002-08-22  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * gc.h, gc.c: make scm_cells_allocated unsigned again. Thanks to

        function

        * ports.h: use scm_i_ prefix for port table and port table size.

        scm_eval_string_in_module): New prototypes.
        * strports.c (scm_eval_string_in_module): New, but use
        "eval-string" as the Scheme name and make second parameter
        optional.
        (scm_eval_string): Implement using scm_eval_string_in_module.
        (scm_c_eval_string_in_module): New.
        Thanks to Ralf Mattes for the suggestion!
        
2002-08-09  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * gc-card.c ("sweep_card"): remove SCM_MISC_ERROR messages: print
        message and abort.
        
        * gc-mark.c ("scm_gc_mark_dependencies"): idem.

        * ports.c ("scm_new_port_table_entry"): return a boxed SCM in

        messages, and throw read-error

        * gc-malloc.c (scm_calloc): add scm_calloc.

2002-08-05  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

2002-08-04  Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * ports.c (scm_new_port_table_entry): init port entry to 0
        completely.
        
        * ports.c (scm_new_port_table_entry): change function from
        scm_add_to_port_table. This prevents cells with null-pointers from
        being exposed to GC.

        * vports.c (scm_make_soft_port) strports.c (scm_mkstrport),
        fports.c (scm_fdes_to_port): Use scm_new_port_table_entry().

        private-gc.h: new file

        * gc.c: completely revised and cleaned up the GC. It now uses lazy
        sweeping. More documentation in workbook/newgc.text

2002-07-25  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * random.c (rstate_free): Return zero.

2002-07-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * environments.c (remove_key_from_alist):  Removed.

        (obarray_remove):  Simplified.

2002-07-24  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * continuations.h: ia64: Include <signal.h> before 
        <sys/ucontext.h>.

2002-07-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * modules.c (scm_sym2var):  Don't compare SCM values with ==.

2002-07-21  Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        scm_remember_upto_here_1 iso scm_remember_upto_here

        * macros.c: include deprecation.h

        * vectors.c (scm_vector_move_right_x): remove side effect in
        macro arg.
        (scm_vector_move_left_x): idem.

        * net_db.c, posix.c, socket.c: variable naming: change ans to
        result.

        * sort.c (scm_merge_vector_x): accept vector as argument
        iso. SCM*. This is needed for full GC correctness.

        * gc.h: undo previous undocumented changes related to #ifdef
        GENGC.

2002-07-20  Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

        * *.c: add space after commas everywhere.

        * *.c: use SCM_VECTOR_SET everywhere, where a vector is written.
        Document cases where SCM_WRITABLE_VELTS() is used.
        
        * vectors.h (SCM_VELTS): prepare for write barrier, and let
        SCM_VELTS() return a const pointer
        (SCM_VECTOR_SET): add macro.

2002-07-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL), macros.c (macro_print, scm_makmacro,
        scm_sym_macro, scm_macro_type), macros.h (scm_makmacro):
        Deprecated the special kind of built-in dynamic syntax transformer
        that was inaccurately named "macro".  Note:  The built-in syntax
        transformers that are named "mmacro" or "memoizing-macro" still
        exist, and it is these which come much closer to what one would
        call a macro.

2002-07-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * eval.c (unmemocopy): Fix for
        1001-local-eval-error-backtrace-segfaults (unmemoization crash
        with internal definitions and local-eval).

2002-07-12  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * dynl.c: Don't define stub procedures if DYNAMIC_LINKING is not
        defined.  They don't do anything useful, especially since the
        only case where DYNAMIC_LINKING is undefined seems to be
        when --with-modules=no is given to configure, which is basically
        requesting that the "dynamic linking module" be omitted.

        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): move dynl.c from
        libguile_la_SOURCES to EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES.

        * extensions.c (load_extension): check DYNAMIC_LINKING for
        scm_dynamic_call.
        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): check DYNAMIC_LINKING for
        scm_init_dynamic_linking.

2002-07-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * guile.c, iselect.h, net_db.c, posix.c, socket.c: No need to
        check for Cygwin when including <winsock2.h>, this is already
        check for by configure.  Thus, revert change from 2002-07-07.

2002-07-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * eq.c: include <string.h>
        * dynl.c: docstring editing.

2002-07-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * dynl.c (scm_dynamic_call): docstring editing.

        * gc_os_dep.c: HURD fixes.

2002-07-07  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        Crosscompiling and Cygwin fixes by Jan Nieuwenhuizen.  Thanks!

        * Makefile.am: Override default rule for c-tokenize.$(OBJECT);
        this should be compiled for BUILD host.
        Override default rule for
        guile_filter_doc_snarfage$(EEXECT); this should run on BUILD host.
        Add missing $(EXEEXT) to guile_filter_doc_snarfage invocation.
        (snarf2checkedtexi): Use GUILE_FOR_BUILD instead of preinstguile.

        * guile.c, iselect.h, net_db.c, posix.c, socket.c: Do not include
        <winsock2.h> on Cygwin even when we have it.

2002-07-01  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_CAUTIOUS), eval.c (scm_eval_args, deval_args,
        SCM_CEVAL):  Removed compile time option SCM_CAUTIOUS to clean up
        the code.  Full number of arguments checking of closures is
        mandatory now.  However, the option to disable the checking has
        most probably not been used anyway.

2002-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_RECKLESS), backtrace.c (SCM_ASSERT), debug.c
        (scm_debug_options), eval.c (scm_lookupcar, scm_lookupcar1,
        scm_badargsp, SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY, scm_map, scm_for_each),
        feature.c (scm_init_feature), gsubr.c (scm_gsubr_apply), numbers.c
        (scm_logand, scm_logior, scm_logxor, scm_i_dbl2big), srcprop.c
        (scm_source_properties, scm_set_source_properties_x,
        scm_source_property):  Removed compile time option SCM_RECKLESS to
        clean up the code.  Full number of arguments checking of closures
        is mandatory now.  However, the option to disable the checking has
        most probably not been used anyway.

        * srcprop.c (scm_source_properties, scm_set_source_properties_x,
        scm_source_property): Use !SCM_CONSP instead of SCM_NCONSP.

2002-06-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * dynl.c: Removed all SCM_DEFER_INTS/SCM_ALLOW_INTS, which won't
        do anything useful.  Added a comment about need for a mutex if
        pre-emptive threading is supported.

        * posix.c (scm_convert_exec_args), dynl.c
        (scm_make_argv_from_stringlist): static procs: 1) renamed both to
        allocate_string_pointers.  2) simplified: don't reallocate the
        strings, just make an array of pointers 3) avoid memory leaks on
        error 4) let the procedure report errors in its own name.
        Consequences: 1) the procedures now assume that SCM strings are
        nul-terminated, which should always be the case.  2) Since strings
        are not reallocated, it's now possible for strings passed to
        dynamic-args-call to be mutated.

2002-06-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h, eval.c, eval.h:  Removed compile time option
        MEMOIZE_LOCALS to clean up the code.  Now, caching of local
        variable positions during memoization is mandatory.  However, the
        option to disable the caching has most probably not been used
        anyway.

2002-06-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * print.c (scm_simple_format): Print missing part of format before
        ~% control.  Thanks to Daniel Skarda!

        * mkstemp.c: Added exception notice to license statement.

2002-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * numbers.c (mem2ureal): When returning an inexact zero, make sure
        it is represented as a floating point value so that we can change
        its sign.

        From John W. Eaton  <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>

        * numbers.c (idbl2str): Don't omit sign when printing negative zero.

2002-05-14  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

        * gc_os_dep.c: For I386/OPENBSD, allow for `__i386__'
        in addition to `i386'.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

2002-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eq.c (real_eqv): New.
        (scm_eqv_p): Use it when comparing reals and complexes.

        * numbers.c: Include <string.h>, for strncmp.
        (mem2complex): Do not create negative NaNs.
        (scm_leq_p, scm_geq_p): Explicitely return #f when comparing a

        calling unsetenv.

        From John W. Eaton.

        * numbers.h: Conditionally include floatingpoint.h, ieeefp.h, and
        nan.h.  Provide declarations for scm_inf_p, scm_nan_p, scn_inf,
        and scm_nan.
        * numbers.c: [SCO && ! HAVE_ISNAN] (isnan): New function.
        [SCO && ! HAVE_ISINF] (isinf): New function.
        (xisinf, xisnan): New functions.
        (IS_INF): Delete.
        (isfinite): Define in terms of xisinf.
        (scm_inf_p, scm_nan_p): New functions.
        (guile_Inf, guile_NaN): New file-scope vars.
        (guile_ieee_init): New function.
        (scm_inf, scm_nan): New functions.
        (idbl2str): Handle Inf and NaN. Remove funny label and
        corresponding gotos.
        (ALLOW_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO): New macro.
        (scm_divide): Allow division by zero to occur if
        ALLOW_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO is defined.
        Handle bignums and ints as special cases.

        Additional stuff by me:

        numbers.c (mem2ureal): Recognize "inf.0" and "nan.xxx".
        (scm_even_p, scm_odd_p): Treat infinity as even and odd.
        (iflo2str): Don't output a '+' for negative numbers or for Inf and
        NaN.  They will provide their own sign.
        (scm_divide): Only allow divides by inexact zeros.  Dividing by
        exact zeros still signals an errors.

2002-04-22  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

        * goops.h (scm_slot_exists_p): Rename from scm_slots_exists_p.
        * goops.c (scm_slot_exists_p): Rename from scm_slots_exists_p.
        (scm_slot_exists_p): Rename from scm_slots_exists_p.
        Thanks to Andreas Rottmann.

2002-04-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * removal of unused fields in root state (thanks to Christopher
        Cramer for pointing out the disuse.)
        * root.h (scm_root_state): removed def_inp, def_outp, def_errp.
        (scm_def_inp, scm_def_outp, scm_def_errp): removed.

2002-04-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Added cpp_err_symbols.c and
        cpp_sig_symbols.c.

2002-04-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * guile-snarf.in: Do not clean input file.  This would write to
        the $(srcdir) during a VPATH build, which is not allowed.  It also
        isn't needed since it only works when an output filename has been
        specified and in that case we don't need to clean the input file
        because the output file will already exist.

2002-03-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * guile-snarf: Install the trap for removing $cleanfile only when
        the value of $cleanfile is actually known.

2002-04-10  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * .cvsignore: add versiondat.h and *.c.clean.c.

2002-03-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * srcprop.[ch] (scm_c_source_property_breakpoint_p):  New
        function, replaces macro SRCBRKP.

        (SRCBRKP):  Deprecated.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Replaced use of SRCBRKP by call to
        scm_c_source_property_breakpoint_p.  Removed some use of arg1 as
        temporary variable.

2002-03-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * debug.h, eval.c: Deprecated CHECK_ENTRY, CHECK_APPLY and
        CHECK_EXIT and removed all references to them.

        operation from condition.

2002-03-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * guile-snarf.in: When the output filename is "-", write to
        stdout.  When no "-o" option is given, use "-" as the output
        filename (i.e., stdout).  Only 'clean' the inputfile or remove the
        output file on error when the output file name is not "-".  Define
        the preprocessor macro SCM_MAGIC_SNARFER while snarfing.

        * Makefile.am (.c.x): Pass "-o $@" to guile-snarf.

2002-03-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY): Eliminated labels wrongnumargs
        and the corresponding goto statements.  Removed redundant code.

2002-03-21  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Minimized scope of variable arg2.
        Eliminated redundant SCM_IMP check.  Exlined call to EVALCAR.
        Re-enabled handing of rpsubrs and asubrs.

2002-03-20  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SIDEVAL): Removed.

        (SCM_CEVAL): Minimized scope of variable orig_sym.  Eliminated
        goto-labels cdrxnoap, cdrxbegin and nontoplevel_cdrxnoap.  Changed
        argument checking order for set! to locals, variables and symbols.
        Improvements to control structure.  Removed some uses of arg1 and
        arg2 as temporary variables.

2002-03-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

        * guile-snarf.in: Remove "--compat=1.4" support.
        Add "-d" and "-D" support.

        (deprecated_list): New var.
        (compat_mode_clean_xxx): Delete.
        (grep_deprecated): New func.
        ("main"): If "-d" or "-D", call `grep_deprecated'.

2002-03-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * hooks.h: Change scm_t_c_hookype_t everywhere to
        scm_t_c_hook_type.

        Docstring fixes:

        * strings.c (scm_string_p): Change unnecessary `iff' to `if'.

        * ports.c (scm_sys_make_void_port): Use `@file'.

        * numbers.c (scm_number_p, scm_real_p): Use `otherwise' rather
        than `else'.

        * macros.c (scm_makmacro): Don't say that the form replaces its
        source, because it doesn't.
        (scm_makmmacro): Clarify difference between this and scm_makmacro.

        * backtrace.c (scm_display_error), filesys.c (scm_umask,
        scm_select, scm_basename), goops.c (scm_method_generic_function),
        numbers.c (scm_integer_length), posix.c (scm_getgroups, scm_execl,
        scm_setlocale, scm_flock), socket.c (scm_shutdown): Correct
        spelling mistakes.

        * debug.c (scm_debug_options), eval.c
        (scm_eval_options_interface), read.c (scm_read_options): Change
        incorrect @var in docstring to @code.

2002-03-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * unif.c (singp): Use SCM_REALP instead of SCM_SLOPPY_REALP.

        * snarf.h (SCM_SNARF_INIT): Add "^:^" after code so that
        guile-snarf can remove trailing non-init code.

        * guile-snarf.in (modern_snarf): Remove everything following and
        including "^:^" from the output.

2002-03-14  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL), srcprop.h (SRCBRKP): Eliminated union 't'.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Exlined call to EVALCAR.

2002-03-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

        * guile-snarf.in: Update copyright.
        Rewrite to internalize error handling.
        Add "--compat=1.4" handling.
        Add commentary.

        unif.c, values.c, variable.c, vectors.c, version.c, vports.c,
        weaks.c: Retire inclusion guard macro SCM_MAGIC_SNARFER.

2002-03-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Got rid of the last reference to t.lloc.
        The next step will be to remove the union 't' and simplify the
        code of SCM_CEVAL that way.

2002-03-12  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * iselect.c (collisionp, gnfds, greadfds, gwritefds, gexceptfds,
        rreadfds, rwritefds, rexceptfds): Made static.

        * gc.c (terminating), fports.c (terminating): Renamed
        scm_i_terminating.

2002-03-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_divide): Adapt code from libstdc++/f2c to void
        potential overflow problems.  Thanks to John W Eaton!

        * strop.c (string_capitalize_x): Treat characters as unsigned so
        that 8-bit chars work.  Thanks to David Pirotte!

2002-03-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of 'slot-ref',
        'slot-set!' and 'nil-cond'.  Removed some uses of t.arg1, arg2 and
        proc as temporary variables.  Introduced temporary variables with
        hopefully descriptive names for clarification.  Replaced SCM_N?IMP
        by a more explicit predicate in some places.

2002-03-09  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of #@dispatch.
        Added lots of comments regarding the implementation of #@dispatch.
        Changed intra-procedure communication to use t.arg1 instead of
        arg2.  Removed some uses of t.arg1, t.lloc and proc as temporary
        variables.  Introduced temporary variables with hopefully
        descriptive names for clarification.  Replaced SCM_N?IMP by a more
        explicit predicate in some places.  Use SCM_INSTANCE_HASH instead
        of computing the expression explicitly.  Eliminate now unused
        label nontoplevel_cdrxbegin.

        * goops.h (SCM_INSTANCE_HASH): New macro.

        * objects.h (SCM_CMETHOD_FORMALS, SCM_CMETHOD_BODY): New macros.

2002-03-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

        * Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Revive this decl, w/ initial element
        "guile-snarf" moved back from `noinst_SCRIPTS'.

2002-03-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * srcprop.c (scm_set_source_property_x): If SRCPROPS obj already
        exists when adding a source property other than those that are
        handled explicitly, add the new property to the SRCPROPS obj's
        plist.

        * debug.h (SCM_MAX_FRAME_SIZE): Remove incorrect comment about use
        of SCM_MAX_FRAME_SIZE as a bit mask; it isn't used like this.

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Don't store scm_debug_eframe_size in
        debug.status.  It isn't needed, and it can overflow the bits
        reserved for it (which may lead to a segv or a GC abort).

2002-03-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of 'apply'.  Removed
        side-effecting operations from conditions and macro calls.

        failed if their sizes were different.

2002-03-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of 'if', 'let',
        'letrec' and 'set*': Removed some uses of t.arg1, t.lloc and proc
        as temporary variables.  Removed side-effecting operations from
        conditions and macro calls.  Introduced temporary variables with
        hopefully descriptive names for clarification.  Replaced SCM_N?IMP
        by a more explicit predicate in some places.  Removed code that
        was conditionally compiled if SICP was defined - which it never
        is.

2002-03-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of 'cons' and 'do':
        Removed some uses of t.arg1 and proc as temporary variables.
        Removed side-effecting operations from conditions and macro calls.
        Introduced temporary variables with hopefully descriptive names
        for clarification.  Replaced SCM_N?IMP by a more explicit
        predicate in some places.

2002-03-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_badargsp, SCM_CEVAL): Replaced SCM_N?IMP by a more
        explicit predicate in some places.

        (CHECK_EQVISH): Removed.

        (SCM_CEVAL): Removed some uses of t.arg1 and proc as temporary
        variables.  Removed side-effecting operations from conditions and
        macro calls.  Introduced temporary variables for clarification.
        Sorted if-else-if check for the type of the last form in a list by
        frequency.  Avoided some unnecessary tail-recursion calls.

2002-03-01  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gc.c (SCM_HEAP_SEG_SIZE, CELL_UP, CELL_DN, NEXT_DATA_CELL,

        scm_t_cell, SCM_CELLPTR, SCM_GC_CARD_SIZE,
        SCM_GC_IN_CARD_HEADERP), tags.h (SCM_CELLP):  Renamed the struct

2002-02-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Make it compile even when deprecated
        features are excluded.

2002-02-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): Fixed signedness problem.

2002-02-25  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * convert.c: include <string.h> for convert_i.c.

        * unif.c (scm_array_to_list): Correct name, which had been
        accidentally changed to scm_t_arrayo_list!

2002-02-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        SCM_NULL_OR_NIL_P instead of SCM_NULLP.  In constructions like `if

        (scm_m_letrec1):  Removed.  Part of the functionality is taken
        over by the new function 'transform_bindings'.

        (transform_bindings):  New function.  Takes over some of the
        functionality of removed function 'scm_m_letrec1', namely to split
        a list of bindings into a reversed list of variables and a list of
        initializers.

        (scm_m_letrec):  Call 'transform_bindings'.

        (scm_m_let):  Minimized scope of local variables.  Renamed 'proc'
        to 'temp' and 'arg1' to 'binding'.  Eliminated redundant SCM_NIMP
        test.  Use 'transform_bindings'.  Fixed scoping error with named
        let (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer for reporting the bug and to Neil
        Jerram for suggesting the fix).  Cleaned up the control structure
        a bit.

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Use 'transform_bindings'.  Eliminated
        unnecessary consing.  Eliminated unnecessary
        SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.

        (SCM_CEVAL):  Un-obfuscated some loops.

2001-11-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * gc.h (scm_unhash_name): Old declaration removed.

        * eval.c (s_scm_eval): Change @var{primitive-eval} to
        @code{primitive-eval}.

        * feature.c, vectors.c, net_db.c, unif.c, weaks.c, struct.c,
        version.c, alist.c, ports.c, ramap.c, unif.c, strings.c, list.c:
        Change @deffnx lines in docstrings to say {Scheme Procedure}
        rather than primitive or procedure.

        * posix.c (scm_execl), filesys.c (scm_close), unif.c
        (scm_array_set_x, scm_array_contents, scm_uniform_array_read_x,
        scm_bit_set_star_x, scm_bit_invert_x), ramap.c (scm_array_fill_x,
        scm_array_for_each, scm_array_index_map_x), vectors.c (scm_vector,
        scm_make_vector, scm_vector_to_list, scm_vector_fill_x), strop.c
        (scm_string_split, scm_string_ci_to_symbol), strings.c
        (scm_string_p), sort.c (scm_merge), print.c (scm_newline),
        macros.c (scm_macro_type), alist.c (scm_acons, scm_assq):
        Docstring fixes and improvements reflecting edits that have been
        made in the reference manual source.

        * objprop.c (scm_object_properties, scm_set_object_properties_x,
        scm_object_property, scm_set_object_property_x): Remove invalid
        @deffnx lines for corresponding procedure property primitives.

        These changes add a @deffnx C function declaration and function
        index entries for each Guile primitive to the copy of the doc
        snarf output that is used for reference manual synchronization.
        Online help is unchanged.

        * snarf.h (SCM_SNARF_DOCS): Output primitive's C function name.
        (SCM_DEFINE, SCM_DEFINE1, SCM_REGISTER_PROC): Supply to C function
        name to SCM_SNARF_DOCS.

        * guile-snarf-docs-texi.in: Pass the shell script's arguments into
        snarf-check-and-output-texi.

        * Makefile.am (guile-procedures.texi): New rule.
        (BUILT_SOURCES, guile.texi, guile-procedures.txt, CLEANFILES):
        Changed so that the last stage of doc snarfing is now performed
        twice, once to produce guile-procedures.txt for online help, and
        once to produce guile.texi for reference manual synchronization.

2001-11-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (RETURN):  Wrap in do{}while(0) in order to make it
        safely usable as a single statement followed by a ';', for example
        in an if statement.

        (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY):  Clean up code using 'RETURN'.

2001-11-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * random.c (scm_random_solid_sphere_x,
        scm_random_hollow_sphere_x): Correct "shere" typos.

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fold): Add missing apostrophe to docstring.

        * version.c (scm_version): Update docstring to include
        `micro-version'.

2001-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * modules.c (scm_c_export): Call va_end after collecting the
        symbols.

        * strop.h, strop.c (scm_substring_move_left_x,
        scm_substring_move_right_x): Removed.

        * __scm.h (HAVE_UINTPTR_T, HAVE_PTRDIFF_T, HAVE_LONG_LONG,
        HAVE_LONG_LONGS): Define to "1" when defining them, to mirror what
        configure does.

2001-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * numbers.c: Document macros to define when including
        num2integral.i.c.  MAX_VALUE and MIN_VALU are no longer used, we
        now rely on SIZEOF_ macros that have been figured out at
        configure time.

        * num2integral.i.c: Adapt to new interface.
        (NUM2INTEGRAL): Test whether a fixnum can be represented in the
        target type by casting it and checking whether it is still the
        same.  Do not try to handle bignums for integral types that are
        smaller than fixnums.  When handling bignums, collect the
        magnituse first into a unsigned type, and correctly check for
        overflow.
        (INTEGRAL2BIG): Do not use MIN_VALUE explicitely by observing that
        only -MIN_VALUE can still be negative of all negative numbers (in
        twos-complement).

        * tags.h (SIZEOF_SCM_T_BITS): Define it appropriately.

        * __scm.h: Define HAVE_UINTPTR_T, HAVE_PTRDIFF_T and
        HAVE_LONG_LONG depending on whether their size is non-zero.

2001-11-11  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

        * strop.c (scm_string_null_p): Docfix; nfc.
        Thanks to Scott Lenser.

2001-11-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * extensions.c (scm_load_extension): Canonicalize docstring
        whitespace.

        * unif.c (scm_uniform_array_write), ports.c
        (scm_current_output_port, scm_force_output), dynwind.c
        (scm_dynamic_wind), scmsigs.c (scm_setitimer, scm_getitimer),
        filesys.c (scm_open, scm_lstat), struct.c
        (scm_make_struct_layout), random.c (scm_random,
        scm_random_solid_sphere_x, scm_random_hollow_sphere_x, strop.c
        (scm_i_index): Remove superfluous whitespace from end of docstring
        lines.

        * filesys.c (scm_select), guardians.c (scm_guardian_greedy_p),
        strings.c (scm_make_string), variable.c (scm_make_variable,
        scm_make_undefined_variable, scm_variable_p, scm_variable_set_x,
        scm_variable_bound_p), scmsigs.c (scm_setitimer, scm_getitimer),
        posix.c (scm_crypt), struct.c (scm_make_vtable_vtable), hashtab.c
        (scm_hash_fold), ports.c (scm_port_for_each): Remove superfluous
        newline at end of docstrings.

        * modules.c (scm_set_current_module): Add missing newline to
        docstring.

2001-11-07  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * win32-socket.[ch]: New files.  Defines Winsock-API error codes
        and makes them available through Guile.  That is because the
        Winsock-API does not store its errors in `errno' and thus cannot
        return error messages via `strerror (errno)'.

        * socket.c (scm_init_socket): Initialize `win32-socket' part
        here under M$-Windows.

        * numbers.h: Added missing declaration of
        `scm_sys_check_number_conversions()'.

        * error.c: Local definition of SCM_I_STRERROR and SCM_I_ERRNO
        and use in `(strerror)' and `(system-error)'.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): Added
        `win32-socket.[ch]' to extra source and header files.

2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * script.c (scm_shell_usage, scm_compile_shell_switches): Prepend
        a call to turn-on-debugging when --debug has been given instead of
        turning it on directly.  Also, handle new `--no-debug' option,
        which might suppress the call to turn-on-debugging.

2001-11-05  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * struct.c (s_scm_struct_vtable_p): Corrected docstring.

2001-11-04  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_LIBADD): Added $(THREAD_LIBS_LOCAL)
        here (was at guile_LDADD) which describes the dependency
        correctly and allows a clean build on Win32.

        * __scm.h (SCM_API): Follow-up patch.  Renamed __FOO__ macros
        into FOO.

        * __scm.h: USE_DLL_IMPORT indicates the usage of the DLL
        import macros for external libraries (libcrypt, libqthreads,
        libreadline and libregex).

        * coop-defs.h: Include <winsock2.h> for `struct timeval'.

        * posix.c (flock): Added support for flock() in M$-Windows.

        * guile.c (SCM_IMPORT): Follow-up patch.  Use SCM_IMPORT instead
        of __SCM_IMPORT__.

        * fports.c (getflags): Differentiate reading and writing pipes
        descriptors.

        * filesys.c (S_IS*): Redefine all of the S_IS*() macros for
        M$-Windows.

        * coop.c (coop_condition_variable_timed_wait_mutex): Use
        conditionalized error code if `ETIMEDOUT' is not available.
        (scm_thread_usleep): Remove bogus declaration of `struct timeval
        timeout'.

        * numbers.c (PTRDIFF_MIN): Moved this definition where it actually
        belongs.  That is because NO_PREPRO_MAGIC gets undefined after
        each inclusion of `num2integral.i.c'.
        (SIZE_MAX): Define NO_PREPRO_MAGIC if SIZE_MAX is undefined.

2001-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_m_begin): Allow `(begin)`, with no subforms.
        (SCM_CEVAL): Evaluate an empty `begin' to SCM_UNSPECIFIED.

2001-11-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * print.c (scm_iprin1): Mark print state as revealed when
        dispatching to generic write or display.

        * unif.c (scm_ra2contig): Fixed memory overwrite bug.

2001-11-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        Support for native Win32.  Thanks to Stefan Jahn!

        * Makefile.am: Add win32-uname.c, win32-uname.h, win32-dirent.c
        and win32-dirent.h to extra source and header files.  These
        include the uname() and the POSIX dirent interface implementation
        for M$-Windows.  Put `-no-undefined' into LDFLAGS to support
        linkers which do not allow unresolved symbols inside shared
        libraries.  Corrected `guile_filter_doc_snarfage$(EXEEXT)'
        dependency.

        * __scm.h: Defined SCM_API.  This macro gets prepended to all
        function and data definitions which should be exported or imported
        in the resulting dynamic link library in the Win32 port.

        * __scm.h, alist.h, arbiters.h, async.h, backtrace.h, boolean.h,
        chars.h, continuations.h, coop-defs.h, coop-threads.h,
        debug-malloc.h, debug.h, deprecation.h, dynl.h, dynwind.h,
        environments.h, eq.h, error.h, eval.h, evalext.h, extensions.h,
        feature.h, filesys.h, fluids.h, fports.h, gc.h, gdb_interface.h,
        gdbint.h, gh.h, goops.h, gsubr.h, guardians.h, hash.h, hashtab.h,
        hooks.h, init.h, ioext.h, iselect.h, keywords.h, lang.h, list.h,
        load.h, macros.h, mallocs.h, modules.h, net_db.h, numbers.h,
        objects.h, objprop.h, options.h, pairs.h, ports.h, posix.h, print.h,
        procprop.h, procs.h, properties.h, ramap.h, random.h, rdelim.h,
        read.h, regex-posix.h, root.h, rw.h, scmsigs.h, script.h, simpos.h,
        smob.h, socket.h, sort.h, srcprop.h, stackchk.h, stacks.h, stime.h,
        strings.h, strop.h, strorder.h, strports.h, struct.h, symbols.h,
        tags.h, threads.h, throw.h, unif.h, values.h, variable.h, vectors.h,
        vports.h, weaks.h:
        Prefixed each each exported symbol with SCM_API.

        * continuations.c: Added comment about the use of the extern
        declarations of {get,set}context() functions used in the ia64 port.

        * continuations.h, gc.c: `__libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base'
        is meant to be a `unsigned long *'.

        * filesys.c: Include `direct.h' if possible.  Use local
        `win32-dirent.h' for the native M$-Windows port.  Define S_IS*()
        macros for M$-Windows.  Implementation of `fstat_Win32()' which is
        able to differentiate between sockets and other file descriptors.
        Use this function as wrapper in `scm_fstat()'.  Fixed typo in
        `scm_dirname()'.

        * fports.c: Include `io.h' is possible.  Put `*fp' into referring
        statement block in `scm_fport_buffer_add()'.
        Some corrections in `getflags()'.

        * gdb_interface.h (GDB_INTERFACE): Also support __CYGWIN__.

        * guile.c: Make sure to define __SCM_IMPORT__ for shared library
        build on Win32.  Disable preloaded symbols on Win2 platforms.

        * ioext.c, ports.c: Include `io.h' is possible.

        * mkstemp.c: Include `process.h' is possible.

        * net_db.c: Disable extern declaration of `h_errno' for __CYGWIN__,
        too.
        Put `scm_return_entry()' into HAVE_GETSERVENT conditional.

        * posix.c: Remove unnecessary dirent includes and defines. Include
        local `win32-uname.h' for MinGW.  Extern declaration of
        `mkstemp()' for systems where it does not exists.  Make
        `getlogin()' available on M$-Windows.

        * scmsigs.c: Made `usleep()' avalable on MinGW.

        * stime.c: On M$-Windows `tzname[]' is known to be `_tzname[]'.

        * win32-dirent.c: Include "win32-dirent.h", not "dirent.h".

        * win32-uname.c: Include "win32-uname.h", not "uname.h".

2001-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * unif.c (scm_uniform_array_read_x, scm_uniform_array_write):
        Don't apply scm_uniform_vector_length on arrays.

2001-10-14  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_lookupcar, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_do, iqq,
        scm_m_define, scm_m_letrec1, scm_m_let, scm_m_expand_body,
        scm_macroexp, unmemocopy, scm_eval_args, scm_deval_args,
        SCM_CEVAL, scm_map, scm_init_eval):  When building lists, prefer
        scm_list_<n> over scm_cons[2]?.

        (scm_unmemocar, scm_m_cond, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_letrec1,
        scm_m_let, scm_m_atbind, unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY):  Use
        SCM_C[AD][AD]R instead of explicit form.

        (scm_m_set_x, scm_m_cond, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_do):  Reordered
        comparison parameters.

        (scm_m_case, scm_m_cond, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_do, SCM_CEVAL):  Use
        !SCM_NULLP instead of SCM_NIMP.

        (scm_m_case):  Don't copy the form.  Renamed proc to clause and
        minimized its scope.  Renamed x to clauses.  Removed side
        effecting operation from macro call.

        (scm_m_cond):  Don't copy the form.  Renamed arg1 to clause and
        minimized its scope.  Renamed x to clauses.  Minimized the scope
        of variable 'len'.  Make sure the else clause is treated specially
        even in case of '=>' occurences.  Don't change the else to #t in
        order to be able to distinguish this case in the evaluator.  Leave
        type checking of the recipient to the evaluator.

        (scm_c_improper_memq):  Made the comment somewhat clearer.

        (scm_m_lambda):  Renamed proc to formals.  Removed unnecessary
        test for SCM_IM_LET at the place of the formal parameters.
        Simplified the formal parameter checking.

        (scm_m_letstar):  Added Comment.  Renamed proc to bindings.
        Renamed arg1 to binding and minimized its scope.  Eliminated
        unnecessary consing.

        (scm_m_do):  Renamed proc to bindings.  Minimized the scope of
        variable 'len'.

        (build_binding_list):  New static function.

        (unmemocopy):  Don't use SCM_TYP7 on pairs (it's unclean).
        Further, split up the 'letrec' unmemoizing code to the
        corresponding parts for 'do', 'let' and 'letrec', adding comments
        to each form.  Cleanup the handling of the do form (This removes
        some *real* code :-).

        (SCM_CEVAL):  Removed side effecting operation from macro call.
        Handle the 'else clause of the 'cond form specially - the symbol
        'else is not replaced with #t any more.

2001-10-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * version.c (scm_version): use sprintf instead of snprintf,
        for portability.  thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.

2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): When user-defined hash procedure returns
        SCM_UNSPECIFIED: Fall back to standard handling instead of raising
        an exception.  (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
        interfering with parsing of numbers.)

2001-10-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * numbers.c: Set NO_PREPRO_MAGIC when defining our version of
        PTRDIFF_MIN.  Thanks to Ken Raeburn.

2001-10-07  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): Added "mkstemp.c".

        * eval.c (scm_m_atbind): First try to find the variable without
        defining it locally; when it has not been found, define it
        locally.

        * modules.c (module_variable): Pass over variables that exist but
        are unbound.

2001-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * backtrace.c (display_backtrace_file_and_line): Only use
        scm_basename when POSIX support is compiled in.  Thanks to Chris
        Cramer.

2001-10-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (mem2uinteger):  Return number read so far when coming
        across a hexdigit after having read a # or if not reading a hex
        value.  This will enable the calling code to correctly handle
        forms like 1e2.  (The background is, that the exponent markers d,
        e and f are also hexdigits.)  Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for
        providing this patch.

        (mem2complex):  Fix erroneous double-negation.  Now, numbers like
        1-i will be read correctly.

2001-10-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * debug.c (scm_mem_to_proc): Fixed typo in previous change.

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_DOUBLE_DEF_COPY): New macro.

2001-10-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_state_vtable, print_state_pool):
        Initialize.  These variables are now registered as gc roots.

        (scm_current_pstate):  Update documentation.

        (scm_current_pstate, scm_make_print_state, scm_free_print_state,
        scm_prin1, scm_init_print):  print_state_pool is registered as a
        gc root and thus does not need to be protected by a surrounding
        pair any more.

        (make_print_state):  The car of print_state_pool no longer holds
        the scm_print_state_vtable.

        (scm_current_pstate, scm_make_print_state, print_circref,
        scm_iprin1, scm_prin1, scm_iprlist):  Prefer !SCM_<foo> over
        SCM_N<foo>.

        (scm_prin1):  When building lists, prefer scm_list_<n> over
        scm_cons[2]?.

        (scm_iprlist):  Removed a redundant SCM_IMP test.

        (scm_simple_format):  Use SCM_EQ_P to compare SCM values.

2001-10-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * debug.c (scm_make_iloc):  Prefer !SCM_<foo> over SCM_N<foo>.

        (scm_memcons, scm_mem_to_proc):  When building lists, prefer
        scm_list_<n> over scm_cons[2]?.

        (scm_mem_to_proc):  Prefer SCM_CONSP over SCM_NIMP.

        (scm_procedure_name):  Use SCM_CADR instead of explicit form.

        (debugobj_print):  Coerce scm_intprint arg 1 to long, not int.
        Thanks to Rob Browning for the patch (see log entry 2001-09-21) -
        for some reason his patch didn't make it into the cvs.

2001-10-09  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (mem2decimal_from_point):  Cleaned up the parsing a
        little bit - should even be somewhat more accurate now.

2001-10-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * gc.c: support ia64 register backing store.
        (SCM_MARK_BACKING_STORE): new macro.

        * continuations.h: support ia64 register backing store.
        (struct scm_t_contregs): add ia64 register backing store.

        * continuations.c: support ia64 register backing store.
        (continuation_mark): mark ia64 register backing store.
        (continuation_free): free ia64 register backing store.
        (scm_make_continuation): capture ia64 register backing store.
        (copy_stack_and_call): copy ia64 register backing store.

2001-10-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_create_handle_x):  The result of assoc_fn
        is known to be #f if no entry is found.  Thus, use !SCM_FALSEP
        instead of SCM_NIMP to test for that case.

        * strings.h (SCM_SET_STRING_LENGTH):  Cast the length to
        scm_t_bits instead of long.

2001-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * tags.h (SCM_T_BITS_MAX, SCM_T_SIGNED_BITS_MAX,
        SCM_T_SIGNED_BITS_MIN): New.
        * numbers.h (SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):
        Use them to make these macros computable by the preprocessor.

        * num2integral.i.c (INTEGRAL2NUM): Let the preprocessor test
        whether the integral type fits in a fixnum, not the compiler.
        This removes a spurious compiler warning.  Also, honor the
        NO_PREPRO_MAGIC flag to suppress any preprocessor tests.  This is
        needed for `long long's.

        * numbers.c: Define NO_PREPRO_MAGOC when including
        num2integral.c.i for `long long' and `signed long long'.

2001-10-06  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        These changes fixes a race condition in the Guile coop - pthread
        compatibility code.

        * coop.c (mother_awake_p): New variable.
        (coop_create): Set mother_awake_p before creating or signalling
        mother; wait until mother is going to sleep before returning.
        (mother): Reset mother_awake_p before going to sleep.

2001-10-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * options.c (protected_objects, scm_init_options):  The content of
        protected_objects is now protected from garbage collection using
        scm_gc_register_root instead of scm_permanent_object.

        (get_option_setting):  New static function that computes an option
        setting as it was formerly done in the function scm_options.

        (get_documented_option_setting):  New static function that
        returns option documentation as it was formerly done in the
        function scm_options.  Note that documentation C strings are no
        longer precomputed into SCM objects.  Instead, they are converted
        into SCM strings every time get_documented_option_setting is
        called.

        (change_option_setting):  New static functions that modifies the
        option setting as it was formerly done in the function
        scm_options.  The function is now exception safe, i. e. won't
        cause a memory leak when interrupted.  Further, only non-immediate
        option values are added to the protection list.

        (scm_options):  This function now has only the purpose to dispatch
        to to get_option_setting, get_documented_option_setting or
        change_option_setting, depending on the arguments given to
        scm_options.

        (scm_init_opts):  Don't convert documentation C strings into SCM
        strings.  Further, don't protect any object values:  They _must_
        be immediate values, otherwise there is no guarantee that they
        have not been collected before anyway.

        * options.[ch] (scm_t_option):  Made type unsigned, name into a
        constant char* and val into a scm_t_bits type.

        (scm_options, scm_init_opts):  The number of options is guaranteed
        to be larger or equal to zero.  Thus, the type is changed to
        unsigned.

2001-10-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL):  Eliminated some warnings about
        testing an unsigned value for being >= 0.

2001-10-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.h:  Removed old comment about using SCM_CAR to access
        non-pair cells.

        (SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):  Make sure
        the return value is signed.  Thanks to Brian Crowder for the bug
        report.

        (SCM_SRS):  Avoid unnecessary casting and don't unpack input
        values.  With this patch, SCM_SRS can be safely used for other
        types than scm_t_signed_bits.  However, it should still better be
        an internal macro and thus be renamed to SCM_I_SRS.

        (SCM_MAKINUM, SCM_INUM):  Use proper casting.

2001-10-03  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * continuations.h, unif.h: in the descriptions of the bit patterns
        of the heap cells, make bit 0 the least significant.

2001-09-25  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

        * chars.h (SCM_MAKE_CHAR): Use `scm_t_bits' instead of `intptr_t'.
        Thanks to Golubev I. N.

2001-09-25  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * ports.c (scm_drain_input): extended the docstring.  thanks to
        Alex Schroeder and Thien-Thi Nguyen.

2001-09-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * validate.h (SCM_NUM2FLOAT, SCM_NUM2DOUBLE,
        SCM_VALIDATE_FLOAT_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_DOUBLE_COPY): New
        macros. (The NUM names might soon change.)

        * numbers.h: Added missing declarations.

2001-09-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * Makefile.am: Distribute num2float.i.c.

        * num2float.i.c: New file, multiply included by numbers.c, used
        to "templatize" the float <-> num conversion routines.

        * numbers.c: New functions: scm_num2float, scm_float2num,
        scm_num2double, scm_double2num.

2001-09-21  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * .cvsignore: really add version.h

        * strings.h (SCM_SET_STRING_LENGTH): coerce "l" to a long.
        Otherwise it fails on the alpha.  However, we might rather choose
        this size conditionally.

        * numbers.c (scm_gcd): change "k" to a long from an int.
        Otherwise it fails on the alpha.  However, we might rather choose
        this size conditionally.

        * error.c (scm_wta): coerce char* to intptr_t before int
        assignment.

        * debug.c (debugobj_print): coerce scm_intprint arg 1 to long, not
        int.

        * chars.h (SCM_MAKE_CHAR): coerce value to intptr_t.

2001-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_expt): Accept inexact integer in second
        argument.  (Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.)

2001-09-20  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * .cvsignore: add version.h

        * versiondat.h.in: removed (obsolete).

        * version.h.in: renamed from version.h.
        (SCM_GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION): new public macro.
        (SCM_GUILE_MINOR_VERSION): new public macro.
        (SCM_GUILE_MICRO_VERSION): new public macro.

        * version.h: renamed to version.h.in.

        * version.c
        (scm_major_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.
        (scm_minor_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.
        (scm_micro_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.
        (scm_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.

2001-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * error.c, error.h: Made error keys globally accessible.
        Applications might want to test for these or use them in a direct
        call to scm_error.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): Report an error when these
        routines are passed an inexact.  This change in behavior is
        motivated by concordance with R5RS: It is more common that a
        primitive doesn't want to accept an inexact for an exact.

2001-09-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        The following patch partially undoes my patch from 2001-06-30,
        where I added the function scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively.  The
        function is buggy, since it breaks guile during conservative
        marking if a pointer on the stack points directly into the list of
        free cells on the heap:  With conservative cell marking this will
        cause the whole free list to be scanned and marked - boom!

        * gc.c (allocated_mark, MARK, heap_segment,
        scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively, scm_init_storage), gc.h
        (scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively):  Remove function
        scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively and update the corresponding
        comments and uses accordingly.  Thanks to Christopher Cramer for
        the patch.  (Minor corrections by me.)

2001-09-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * root.h (scm_root_state): removed the continuation_stack and
        continuation_stack_ptr members, which have no apparent purpose.
        (scm_continuation_stack, scm_continuation_stack_ptr): #defines
        removed.

        * root.c (root_mark), init.c (restart_stack, start_stack), gc
        (scm_igc): remove all references to contination_stack and
        continuation_stack_ptr, avoiding allocation of a vector and
        useless processing during gc.

2001-09-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * guardians.c (tconc_t, t_tconc):  Renamed tconc_t to t_tconc.

        (TCONC_IN):  Make sure that the cell word 0 is initialized last.

        (guardians_t, t_guardians):  Renamed guardians_t to t_guardians.

        (GUARDIAN, GUARDIAN_DATA):  Renamed GUARDIAN to GUARDIAN_DATA.

        (guardian_apply, scm_get_one_zombie, scm_make_guardian,
        mark_and_zombify):  Prefer !SCM_<foo> over SCM_N<foo>.

2001-09-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * guardians.c (mark_dependencies_in_tconc,
        whine_about_self_centered_zombies, scm_init_guardians):  Register
        the static global variable `self_centered_zombies' via
        scm_gc_register_root, to make some cdr-ing unnecessary.

2001-09-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * backtrace.c (display_backtrace_file,
        display_backtrace_file_and_line):  Use SCM_EQ_P when comparing SCM
        values, use SCM_FALSEP when comparing SCM values against #f.
        Thanks to Rob Browning for the bug report.

2001-09-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@home-of-linux.org>

        * strings.[ch] (scm_str2string): New function.

2001-09-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * gc.c (scm_done_free): Always subtract size from scm_mallocated
        when computing nm, even if it's negative.
        (scm_must_malloc): Abort on overflow of scm_mtrigger.
        (scm_must_realloc): Likewise.

2001-09-01  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * numbers.c (scm_sys_check_number_conversions): new function,
        defined if Guile is compiled in debugging mode.  currently checks
        `scm_num2ulong', should check much much more.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): when converting a bignum to
        unsigned, ensure that it's positive.  thanks to Martin Baulig!

2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h: Added new section about compile time selectable
        features.

        SCM_NALLOC, SCM_HUP_SIGNAL, SCM_INT_SIGNAL, SCM_FPE_SIGNAL,

        SCM_TICK_SIGNAL, SCM_SIG_ORD, SCM_ORD_SIG, SCM_NUM_SIGS):
        Removed.

        * deprecation.c (scm_include_deprecated_features): Simplified.

        * eval.c (EVALCAR, unmemocopy), eval.h (SCM_XEVALCAR): Use
        `SCM_IMP´ instead of `!SCM_CELLP´.

        * eval.c (unmemocopy): Eliminate redundant SCM_CELLP tests.
        Extract side-effecting operations from macros.

        (scm_init_eval): Don't initialize *top-level-lookup-closure*,
        scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var and scm_system_transformer.

        * gc.c (CELL_P): New local definition to replace SCM_CELLP.

        (heap_segment):  Use CELL_P instead of SCM_CELLP.

        * init.c (start_stack): Don't initialize
        scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var and scm_system_transformer.

        * modules.c (scm_set_current_module): Don't access

        (scm_sym2var): Don't call scm_variable_set_name_hint.

        (scm_post_boot_init_modules): Removed deprecated initializations.

        * print.c (scm_ipruk): Don't access cell contents of non cells.

        * strings.c (scm_string_set_x):  All strings are writable.

        * strings.h (SCM_STRINGP):  Use SCM_TYP7 to determine the string
        type.  There is only one string type now.

        (SCM_STRING_COERCE_0TERMINATION_X): Deprecated.

        * tags.h: Remove comments about two different string types.

        (SCM_CELLP, SCM_NCELLP): Deprecated.

        * variable.c (make_variable): Remove code variant for vcells.

        * variable.h (SCM_VARIABLE_REF, SCM_VARIABLE_SET,
        SCM_VARIABLE_LOC): Remove code variant for vcells.

        * dynl.h (LIBGUILE_DYNL_H, SCM_DYNL_H), random.h (RANDOMH,

2001-07-04  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * hooks.c (scm_make_hook, scm_add_hook_x),
        (scm_remove_hook_x, scm_reset_hook_x, scm_run_hook): Added return
        value info to the docstrings.

2001-07-03  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        Some more compatibility patches for Windows.

        * posix.c (getlogin): getlogin() implementation for Windows.

        * backtrace.c, ioext.c: Include <stdio.h>.

        * unif.c, script.c, rw.c, error.c: Include <io.h>, if it does
        exist.

        * cpp_sig_symbols.in: Added SIGBREAK.

2001-07-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * strports.c (scm_read_0str, scm_eval_0str): Call
        scm_c_read_string and scm_c_eval_string respectively, not
        themselves.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x):  The variable args does not
        necessarily have to be a list.  Further, got rid of a redundant
        SCM_NIMP test.

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * list.c (SCM_I_CONS):  Make sure the cell type is initialized
        last.

        * gc.c (s_scm_map_free_list, scm_igc, scm_gc_sweep,
        init_heap_seg): Fixed signedness.

        (init_heap_seg):  Replaced strange for-loop with a while loop.

        * weaks.h (WEAKSH, SCM_WEAKS_H):  Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

        (SCM_WVECTP):  Prefer !SCM_<pred> over SCM_N<pred>.

        The following patch adds conservative marking for the elements of
        free or allocated cells.

        * gc.c (allocated_mark, heap_segment):  New static functions.

        (which_seg):  Deleted, since the functionality is now provided by
        function heap_segment.

        (map_free_list):  Use heap_segment instead of which_seg.

        (MARK):  If cell debugging is disabled, mark free cells
        conservatively.

        (scm_mark_locations, scm_cellp):  Extracted the search for the
        heap segment of a SCM value into function heap_segment.

        (scm_init_storage):  Allocated cells must be marked
        conservatively.

        * gc.[ch] (scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively):  New function.

        The following patch changes the representation of weak vectors to
        double cells instead of using an extension of the vector's
        allocated memory.

        * gc.c (MARK):  Use SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN instead of assigning to
        the result of SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN.

        (scm_gc_sweep):  Weak vectors don't have extra fields any more.

        * weaks.c (allocate_weak_vector):  New static function.  It does
        not patch any previously created vector object during the
        construction of a weak vector, and thus doesn't need to switch
        off interrupts during vector creation.

        (scm_make_weak_vector, scm_make_weak_key_hash_table,
        scm_make_weak_value_hash_table, scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table):
        Use allocate_weak_vector to provide the new weak vector object.

        * weaks.h (SCM_WVECT_TYPE, SCM_SET_WVECT_TYPE,
        SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  New macros.  The weak vector subtype is
        now stored in the double cell.

        (SCM_IS_WHVEC, SCM_IS_WHVEC_V, SCM_IS_WHVEC_B, SCM_IS_WHVEC_ANY):
        Use SCM_WVECT_TYPE.

        (SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  The weak objects are now chained together
        using an entry of the double cell.

2001-06-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

        * stamp-h.in: bye bye

2001-06-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * gh_eval.c (gh_eval_str): Use scm_c_eval_string instead of
        scm_eval_0str.

        * load.c, load.h (scm_c_primitive_load,
        scm_c_primitive_load_path): New.

        * strports.c, strports.h (scm_c_read_string): Renamed from
        scm_read_0str.  Also, added "const" qualifier to argument.
        (scm_c_eval_string): Renamed from scm_eval_0str.
        (scm_read_0str, scm_eval_0str): Deprecated.

2001-06-28  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * fluids.c (scm_c_with_fluid): Use scm_list_1() instead of

        scm_list_n): New functions.
        (SCM_LIST0, SCM_LIST1, SCM_LIST2, SCM_LIST3, SCM_LIST4, SCM_LIST5,
        SCM_LIST6, SCM_LIST7, SCM_LIST8, SCM_LIST9, scm_listify): Deprecated.
        (lots of files): Use the new functions.

        * goops.c (CALL_GF1, CALL_GF2, CALL_GF3, CALL_GF4): Use scm_call_N.

        * strings.c: #include "libguile/deprecation.h".

2001-06-27  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): When reading a hash token, check for a
        user-defined hash procedure first, so that overriding the builtin
        hash characters is possible (this was needed for implementing
        SRFI-4's read synax `f32(...)').

        * num2integral.i.c: Use scm_t_signed_bits instead of scm_t_bits,
        because the latter is unsigned now and breaks comparisons like
        (n < (scm_t_signed_bits)MIN_VALUE).

2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * eval.h, eval.c (scm_call_4): New function.

        * eval.c (SCM_APPLY, SCM_CEVAL, ENTER_APPLY): Call trap handlers
        directly rather than dispatching to them via scm_ithrow and a lazy
        catch.

        * eval.c (scm_evaluator_trap_table), eval.h (SCM_ENTER_FRAME_HDLR,
        SCM_APPLY_FRAME_HDLR, SCM_EXIT_FRAME_HDLR): Add three new options
        for trap handler procedures.

        * debug.h (SCM_RESET_DEBUG_MODE): Add checks for trap handler
        procedures not being #f.

2001-06-27  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * Makefile.am (c-tokenize.c): add rule to generate it.
        (EXTRA_DIST): add c-tokenize.lex, so it gets distributed.

        filter-doc-snarfage.c: remove.

2001-06-26  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * ports.c (scm_output_port_p): Use result of SCM_COERCE_OUTPORT.

        The following set of changes makes compiling Guile under various
        Windows compilers easier.  Compilation under GNU systems should
        not be affected at all.

        Thanks to Stefan Jahn for all necessary information, patches and
        testing.

        * posix.c: Conditialize getpwent, getgrent, kill, getppid, getuid,
        getpgrp, ttyname, primitive-fork and some header inclusion for
        Windows.

        * random.c: Define M_PI, if not predefined and use __int64 for
        LONG64 under Windows.

        * scmsigs.c: Emulate some functions (alarm, sleep, kill) under
        Windows and conditionalize some signal names.

        * socket.c (scm_getsockopt): Added missing comma.
        Include socket library header under Windows.

        * stime.c (CLKTCK): Add cast to int, to make it compile under
        Windows.

        * net_db.c: Do not declare errno under Windows.

        * iselect.h, inet_aton.c: Include socket library headers under
        Windows.

        * guile.c (inner_main): Under Windows, initialize socket library
        and initialize gdb_interface data structures.

        * gdb_interface.h: Under Windows, gdb_interface cannot be
        initialized statically.  Initialize at runtime instead.

        * fports.c (write_all): ssize_t -> size_t.
        (fport_print): Conditionalize call to ttyname().
        (getflags): New function, compiled only under Windows.

        * filesys.c: Conditionalize inclusion of <pwd.h>.  Conditionalize
        primitives chown, link, fcntl.
        (scm_basename, scm_dirname): Under Windows, handle \ as well as /
        as path seperator.

        * backtrace.c: Include <io.h> under Windows.

        * async.h (ASYNCH, SCM_ASYNC_H): Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

        * _scm.h: Added preprocessor conditional for __MINGW32__ for errno
        declaration.

        * filesys.c (scm_stat):  Clean up type dispatch.

        * filesys.c (scm_stat), ports.c (scm_input_port_p,
        scm_output_port_p):  Get rid of redundant IM type check.

        * filesys.c (scm_readdir, scm_getcwd, scm_readlink), gh_data.c
        (gh_str2scm), load.c (scm_primitive_load, scm_internal_parse_path,

        scm_string_split), strports.c (scm_strport_to_string), symbols.c
        (scm_symbol_to_string), vports.c (sf_write):  Use scm_mem2string

        ports.c (scm_close_all_ports_except), read.c (scm_lreadr,
        scm_read_hash_extend), stime.c (scm_strftime), strings.c
        (scm_string_append, scm_string), strings.h (SCM_STRINGP,
        SCM_STRING_COERCE_0TERMINATION_X, SCM_RWSTRINGP), strop.c
        (string_capitalize_x):  Prefer explicit type check over SCM_N?IMP,

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY):  Eliminate
        warning about comparing signed and unsigned values.  This fix is
        not optimal, since it won't work reliably if sizeof (c_start) >
        sizeof (size_t) or sizeof (c_end) > sizeof (size_t).  A better
        solution is to define this macro as an inline function, thus
        allowing to specifiy the types of c_start and c_end.

2001-06-25  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * debug.h (SCM_DEBUGOBJ_FRAME):  Deliver result as a

        type dispatch.  No need to cast result of SCM_DEBUGOBJ_FRAME any
        more.

        * coop-defs.h (scm_mutex_trylock, scm_cond_timedwait): Likewise.
        Thanks to Seth Alves!

        * numbers.c (SIZE_MAX, PTRDIFF_MIN, PTRDIFF_MAX): Only define when
        they aren't defined already.

2001-06-23  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        always positive.

        called recursively.

2001-06-20  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Removed initialization of tag.c.

        * gdbint.c, init.c: Removed inclusion of tag.h.

        (SCM):  Now defined as typedef struct scm_unused_struct * SCM;
        If this appears to be not ANSI compliant, we will change it to

        scm_sys_protects.

        * hooks.c (scm_create_hook): call `scm_gc_protect_object' instead

        Prototypes removed since there's no definition for these
        functions.

        * unif.c (scm_make_ra, array_free), unif.h (SCM_ARRAY_DIMS):
        Changed use of scm_array->scm_array_t and
        scm_array_dim->scm_array_dim_t to enable build with
        --disable-deprecated.

2001-05-24  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        The purpose of this set of changes is to regularize Guile's usage
        of ANSI C integral types, with the following ideas in mind:

        - SCM does not nesessarily have to be long.
        - long is not nesessarily enough to store pointers.
        - long is not nesessarily the same size as int.

        The changes are incomplete and possibly buggy.  Please test on
        something exotic.

        (SCM_CEVAL): Likewise.  Also, do not use unmemocar, explicitely
        remember the symbol instead.  Added some comments where
        scm_tc3_cons_gloc really exclusively refers to structs.
        (scm_init_eval): Use scm_define to initialize "nil" and "t" to
        scm_lisp_nil and scm_lisp_t, respectively.  Use scm_define instead

        (scm_init_debug): Use scm_c_define instead scm_sysintern.

        * socket.c (scm_fill_sockaddr): improve the argument validation.
        don't allocate memory until all args are checked.  instead of

2001-04-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_CAREFUL_INTS, SCM_DEBUG_INTERRUPTS):  Replaced the

        goops module should be registered in order to work for an
        application which uses libguile statically linked.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (scm_init_gc):  Initalize scm_tc16_allocated.

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

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

        (SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE):  New macro.

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

        (SCM_SET_FREE_CELL_TYPE):  Removed.  It was not used.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Remove redundant type checks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        message.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2001-03-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        scm_array_to_list, scm_array_prototype), validate.h
        (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_COPY):  Don't call function scm_wta, call
        scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg instead.

        * validate.h (SCM_WTA, RETURN_SCM_WTA):  Deprecated.

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

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): Removed.
        (scm_sys_tag_body): Added.

2001-03-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * continuations.c (continuation_apply), eval.c (scm_m_lambda,

        scm_lreadparen, scm_lreadrecparen), script.c (script_get_octal,
        script_get_backslash, script_read_arg), unif.c (scm_cvref):  Don't
        call function scm_wta, call scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg
        instead.

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

        * goops.c (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): New procedure.

2001-03-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

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

2001-03-02  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * Remove dump facilities.

        (scm_string_ci_geq_p), symbols.c (scm_symbol_p)
        (scm_symbol_to_string, scm_string_to_symbol): Changed use of @t{}
        to @code{} as the texinfo manual recommends, converted the

        * strports.c (scm_eval_string): Cleaned up the docstring.

        * struct.c (scm_struct_p, scm_struct_vtable_p): Added texinfo

2001-02-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASSERT_TYPE):  Add missing macro parameter.
        (Obviously nobody compiles with SCM_RECKLESS defined...)

        * validate.h (SCM_ASSERT_RANGE):  Use the argument number.

2001-02-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        scm_make_polar): Rename arguments `z1' and `z2' to `x' and `y',
        since use of `z' suggests that the arguments may be complex.

        * goops.c (scm_make), numbers.c (scm_sys_expt): Fix docstring
        typos.

2001-02-23  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

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

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

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

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

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

        receiver procedure in call-with-current-continuation.
        (scm_i_eval): Do not invoke scm_copy_tree in argument in SCM_XEVAL
        macro.  The argument is expanded more than one time.

        * numbers.c (scm_logior) [SCM_DIGSTOOBIG]: Correctly use
        SCM_BIGDIG instead of BIGDIG.  Thanks to Steven G. Johnson!

2001-02-20  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * guile-doc-snarf.in, guile-func-name-check.in: Added copyright

2001-02-15  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        Use scm_sizet to obtain the length of strings.

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

        * gc_os_dep.c: Do not include <linux/version.h>.  It makes no
        sense to compile for a specific kernel version.  Do not include

        all uses.

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