1 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
5 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
7 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
9 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
11 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
13 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
15 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
16 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
18 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
20 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
21 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
22 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
23 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
26 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
27 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
28 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
30 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
32 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
33 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
34 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
35 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
36 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
37 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
38 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
40 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
42 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
44 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
46 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
47 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
48 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
49 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
50 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
51 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
53 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
55 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
56 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
57 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
60 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
62 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
64 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
66 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
68 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
70 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
73 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
75 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
77 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
79 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
80 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
82 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
84 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
85 similar in use to `use-modules'.
86 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
87 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
89 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
90 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
92 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
94 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
96 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
98 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
99 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
102 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
103 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
105 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
106 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
107 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
109 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
111 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
113 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
115 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
116 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
118 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
120 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
122 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
124 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
125 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
127 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
129 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
132 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
134 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
135 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
137 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
139 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
141 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
143 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
146 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
148 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
149 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
150 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
151 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
152 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
155 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
157 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
158 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
159 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
161 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
163 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
165 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
166 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
168 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
170 * * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
171 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
172 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
173 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
174 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
175 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
176 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
179 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
181 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
184 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
186 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
187 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
188 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
189 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
190 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
191 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
193 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
195 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
196 usefully so they will work from a script.
198 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
200 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
201 neighborhood of the record code.
203 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
205 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
206 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
207 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
208 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
210 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
212 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
213 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
214 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
216 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
218 Add support for readline function.
219 * readline.scm: New module.
220 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
221 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
222 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
224 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
225 repl-reader to use them.
226 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
228 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
230 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
232 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
233 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
235 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
237 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
238 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
239 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
241 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
243 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
244 #f, abort terminates the process.
245 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
246 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
248 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
250 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
251 print-state, throw it away.
253 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
255 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
258 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
260 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
261 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
262 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
263 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
265 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
266 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
268 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
270 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
272 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
274 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
275 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
276 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
277 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
278 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
280 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
281 distribution and installation.

286 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
288 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
290 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
291 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
292 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
294 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
295 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
298 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
300 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
302 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
304 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
306 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
307 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
308 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
309 field a separate argument.
311 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
313 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
315 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
317 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
321 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

328 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
329 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
330 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
331 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
332 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
334 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
335 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
336 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
337 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
338 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
341 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
343 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

347 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
348 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
350 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
352 * * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
354 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
355 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
356 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
357 expansion inside the slib module.
359 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
361 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
362 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

367 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
369 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
370 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
371 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
373 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
374 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
377 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
379 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
380 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
382 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
384 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
385 (make-module): Modified initialization.
386 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
387 mutator for module-associated transformer.

389 `scm:eval-transformer'.
390 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
391 * (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
393 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
395 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
397 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
399 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
400 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
401 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
402 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
403 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
405 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
406 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
407 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
409 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
410 the syncase interface.
412 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
414 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
415 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
416 workings of the current module system).
418 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
420 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
421 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

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

430 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
432 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
433 according to the following priorities:
434 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
435 2. bindings from the-scm-module
437 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
438 disabling the scheme interpreter.
439 (new-interpreter): New function.
441 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
442 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
443 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
445 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
447 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
449 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
453 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
455 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
457 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
459 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
461 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
462 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
465 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
467 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
468 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
469 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
470 symbols matching regexp.
472 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
473 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
476 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
477 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
478 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
479 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
480 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
482 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
483 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
485 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
487 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
488 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
490 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
491 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
493 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
495 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
497 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
498 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

517 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
519 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
520 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
521 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
523 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
524 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
527 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
528 order to narrow it correctly.
529 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

540 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
542 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
543 builtin `with-fluids*'.
545 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
547 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
548 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
549 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
551 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
553 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
556 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
558 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
559 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
560 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
561 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
562 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
564 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
566 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
567 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
570 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
572 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
574 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
575 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
576 notation, instead of #/ notation.
578 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
581 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
583 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
584 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
585 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
586 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
587 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
588 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
590 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
591 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
592 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
593 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
595 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
597 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
598 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
599 sending in bug reports.
600 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
601 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
602 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
603 display a warning if the two are different.
604 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
605 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
606 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
608 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
610 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
612 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
614 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
615 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
617 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
618 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
619 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
620 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
621 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
622 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
625 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
626 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
629 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
630 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
632 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
635 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
638 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
640 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
643 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
645 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
646 vtable and not the one of the struct.
648 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
650 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
651 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
652 to support printing of structures.
653 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
654 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
655 commented out printing code.
656 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
657 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
659 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
661 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
663 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
665 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
666 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
667 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
668 during call to scm-style-repl.
670 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
672 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
673 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
674 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
675 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
676 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
678 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
680 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
681 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
684 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
686 * regex.scm: New file.
687 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
688 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
690 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
692 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
693 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
694 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
695 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
697 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
699 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
702 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
704 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
705 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
706 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
708 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
710 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
711 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
714 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
716 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
718 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
720 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
722 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
724 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
725 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
728 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
730 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
731 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
732 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
734 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
736 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
737 the Scheme code like code yet.
738 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
740 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
742 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
743 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
744 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
746 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
748 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
750 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
753 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
755 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
757 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
759 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
761 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
762 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
763 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
765 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
767 Get 'make dist' to work again.
768 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
769 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
771 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
773 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
774 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
776 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
778 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
781 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
783 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
785 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
787 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
788 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
790 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
792 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
793 instead of in libguile.
794 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
795 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
797 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
799 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
801 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
802 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
804 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
806 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
807 sockaddr:port): new functions.
809 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
811 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
812 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
813 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
814 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
816 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
818 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
819 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
821 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
823 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
825 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
827 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
828 keywords and symbols.
830 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
832 * slib.scm: update read usage.
834 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
835 Don't define read-sharp.
837 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
838 (read-sharp): removed.
839 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
840 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
842 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
844 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
846 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
847 primitive procedure.)
849 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
850 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
852 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
854 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
856 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
858 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
860 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
862 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
864 * (exit): alias for quit.
866 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
868 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
869 return the quit args.
870 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
871 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
872 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
874 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
876 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
878 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
880 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
881 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
883 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
884 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
886 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
887 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
890 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
892 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
894 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
895 (add-hooks!): New macro.
896 Change hooks to use these functions.
898 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
899 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
900 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
902 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
903 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
904 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
905 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
906 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
907 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
908 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
911 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
912 and exit-frame exceptions.
914 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
915 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
916 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
917 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
918 result; otherwise display "> ".
919 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
921 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
922 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
923 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
924 repository version runnable.
926 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
928 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
929 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
930 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
931 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
932 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
933 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
935 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
937 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
938 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
940 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
942 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
943 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
945 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
947 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
949 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
951 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
954 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
956 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
957 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
959 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
961 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
964 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
966 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
967 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
969 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

973 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
974 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
975 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
976 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
977 dynamic linking of modules.
978 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
979 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
981 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
983 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
985 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
987 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
990 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
991 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
994 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
996 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
997 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
998 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1000 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1002 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1003 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1006 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1008 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1009 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1010 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1012 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1014 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1015 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1016 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1017 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1019 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1020 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1021 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1022 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1023 (such as the-scm-module).
1025 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1027 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1030 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1032 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1033 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1034 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1036 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1038 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1039 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1040 function, use it accordingly.
1042 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1044 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1045 function of no arguments.
1046 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1047 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1048 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1049 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1050 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1051 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1052 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1053 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1055 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1057 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1058 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1060 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1062 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1063 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1064 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1065 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1066 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1068 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1071 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1072 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1073 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1074 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1076 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1078 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1080 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1081 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1082 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1084 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1087 Added `before-read-hook'.
1089 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1091 (provide): New function.
1093 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1096 (backtrace): New function.
1098 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1099 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1100 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1101 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1102 is found in operator position in a frame.
1104 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1107 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1108 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1109 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1111 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1113 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1115 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1117 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1119 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1121 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1123 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1124 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1126 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1127 so they'll get distributed.
1129 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1130 should see as little clutter as possible.
1131 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1132 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1133 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1135 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1136 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1137 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1138 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1139 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1140 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1141 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1142 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1143 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1144 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1146 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1147 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1149 * test.scm: New file.
1151 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1152 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1153 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1155 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1156 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1158 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1160 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1161 call %load-announce.
1163 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1165 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1166 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1167 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1169 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1171 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1173 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1174 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1175 SCSH (which this isn't).
1177 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1179 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1181 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1183 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1184 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1185 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1187 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1188 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1189 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1190 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1193 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1195 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1197 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1199 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1200 error-catching-loop.
1201 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1202 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1203 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1205 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1206 error-catching-loop.
1208 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1210 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1211 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1212 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1213 should be '(), not #f.
1215 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1216 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1218 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1220 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1221 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1224 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1226 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1227 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1228 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1229 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1231 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1233 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1235 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1237 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1239 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1240 throw-handler-default.
1241 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1243 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1245 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1246 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1248 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1250 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1251 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1252 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1253 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1255 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1257 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1258 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1259 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1260 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1262 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1263 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1264 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1265 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1268 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1270 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1272 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1275 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1278 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1280 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1282 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1283 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1285 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1287 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1289 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1291 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1293 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1294 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1295 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1296 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1297 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1299 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1300 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1301 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1302 they seem redundant.
1303 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1304 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1305 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1306 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1307 directly files starting with "/").
1308 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1309 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1311 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1313 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1315 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1316 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1317 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1318 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1319 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1320 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1321 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1322 robust to just do it in the C code.
1324 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1326 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
1327 %try-load itself was the primitive.
1328 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1329 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1330 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1332 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1334 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1335 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1336 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1338 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1340 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1341 system-error, not every kind of error.
1342 (scm-error): new procedure.
1344 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1346 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1348 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1350 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1351 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
1352 of args are supplied.
1353 (%%system-errors): removed.
1354 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1355 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1356 %%handle-system-error.
1357 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1358 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1359 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1360 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1362 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1364 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1365 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1366 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1367 %S (embed an argument using "write").
1369 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1371 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1372 the empty list if they are #f.
1373 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1375 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1377 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1379 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1380 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1381 aborting, just the key and subr.
1382 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1383 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1384 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1386 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1388 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1389 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
1390 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1391 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1392 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1394 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1396 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1397 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1398 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1399 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1401 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1403 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1404 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1405 initialize %load-path.
1407 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1408 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1410 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1412 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1413 Add the directory named after the version number.
1414 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1415 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1416 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1417 sitedatadir): New definitions.
1418 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
1419 (install): Create the above directories.
1420 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1421 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1423 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1425 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1426 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1427 in the Makefile directly.
1428 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1430 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1432 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1433 here, where people expect to find them.
1435 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1437 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1438 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1440 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1442 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1444 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1445 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
1447 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1449 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1450 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1452 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1453 weak-key-hash-table.
1455 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1457 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1458 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
1459 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
1460 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
1461 (%open-file): removed.
1462 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1463 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1465 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1467 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1468 (manifest): Deleted.
1469 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1470 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1472 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1474 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1475 now that they throw errors directly.
1476 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1477 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1479 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1481 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1483 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
1485 * The more things change...
