50 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
52 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
53 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
54 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
56 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
58 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public

71 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
73 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
74 last-command fluid is not yet set.
76 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
78 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
80 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
81 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
82 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
84 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
86 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not

106 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
108 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
110 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
111 primitives. Thanks Neil!
113 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
115 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
116 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
117 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
118 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
120 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
121 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'

125 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
127 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
129 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
130 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
132 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
134 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
135 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
137 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
139 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
140 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
141 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
143 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
145 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
147 * tags.scm: Removed file.

152 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
154 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
155 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.

159 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
161 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
162 was a cut-n-paste error previously.

185 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
187 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
188 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
190 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
193 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.

200 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
205 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
209 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
211 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
212 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
213 rdelim) module. See below.
215 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
217 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
218 include-deprecated-features is true.
220 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
222 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
225 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
226 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
227 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
229 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
230 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
231 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
234 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
236 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
237 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
238 variable, not just a visible one.
239 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
240 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
241 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
242 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
243 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
244 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
246 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
248 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
249 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
251 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
253 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
254 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
256 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

260 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
262 Added exception notice to all files.
264 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
265 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
266 importing bindings once in a while.
268 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
270 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
271 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.

273 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
274 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
275 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
276 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
277 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
279 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
280 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
282 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
284 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
285 fix command so that it works.
287 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
288 to access unbound variables.
290 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
291 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
292 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
293 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
294 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
296 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
298 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
299 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
300 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
301 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
302 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
303 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
304 argument for process-define-module.
305 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
306 arguments for process-use-modules.
307 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
309 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
311 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
312 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
313 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
316 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
317 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
318 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
320 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

347 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
349 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
350 * match.scm: Likewise.
351 * expect.scm: Likewise.
352 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
354 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
356 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
358 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
360 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
361 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
362 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
363 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
364 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
365 element list when adding "." to it.
366 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
367 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
369 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

373 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
374 now accepts arg; update callers.
375 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
376 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
378 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
379 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
380 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
381 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
382 `search-documentation-files'.
383 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
384 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
385 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
387 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
388 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
390 (find-documentation): Delete.
391 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
392 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.

396 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
397 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

411 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
413 (apropos-fold): Likewise.

418 the default default for bindings.
420 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

422 (root-module-closure): Removed.
423 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
424 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
425 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
426 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
427 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
428 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.

430 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
431 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
432 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
433 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
434 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
435 `set-current-module' call.
436 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
437 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

477 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
478 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
479 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

587 2001-04-06 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

664 2001-03-10 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
666 * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): New, more general
667 buffered input procedure. Does not assume that a newline
668 character should be interpolated between chunks of input returned
670 (make-line-buffered-input-port): Redefine in terms of
671 make-buffered-input-port.
673 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

719 cutting. Makes backtraces work again! Also added a reference to

725 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
726 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.

731 `eval-case', everywhere.
733 2001-02-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
735 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
736 `interaction-evironment'.
737 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit

758 2001-02-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
760 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
761 `current-error-port'.
763 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
765 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
768 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

803 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

806 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
808 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
809 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
810 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
811 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
812 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
813 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
814 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
816 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
818 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
819 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
821 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
823 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
826 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
828 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
831 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
833 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
835 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
837 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
838 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
839 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
840 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
841 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

847 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
848 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
849 make-shared-substring.
851 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
853 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
854 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
855 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
856 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
859 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
861 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
862 and open-output-pipe.
864 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
866 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
867 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
868 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
869 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
870 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
871 Pirotte for the bug report).
872 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
873 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
875 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
877 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

887 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the

895 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
897 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
898 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
899 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
901 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
902 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
903 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
904 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
905 actual documentation entries themselves.
907 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
909 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
911 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

925 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
927 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
929 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
931 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
933 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

937 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
939 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
940 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
942 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
944 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
947 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

970 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
972 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
973 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
974 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
975 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
976 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
978 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
980 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
982 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
983 provided by libguile/modules.c.)

988 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
989 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

1001 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)

1019 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!

1034 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR

1069 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1071 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1072 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1074 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1076 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1077 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1079 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1081 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

1111 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1112 (write-all): Removed.
1113 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1114 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1116 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1118 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1119 `proc-documentation'
1121 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1122 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1123 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1124 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1125 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1126 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1127 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive

1143 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1144 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1145 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1146 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1147 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1148 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1149 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1151 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1153 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1154 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1156 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1158 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1159 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1161 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1163 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1164 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1165 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1166 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1167 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1168 delete-if! when iterating.
1170 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1172 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1174 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1176 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1178 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1180 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1181 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1182 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1183 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1185 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1187 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1188 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1190 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1192 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1193 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1194 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1195 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1197 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1199 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1200 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1202 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1204 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1205 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1207 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1209 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1212 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1214 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1215 source of the numerous very short changes.
1217 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1219 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1222 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1225 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1227 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1230 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1232 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1233 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1235 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1237 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1240 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1242 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1243 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1244 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1246 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1248 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1249 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1250 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1251 Narazaki for this change.
1253 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1255 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1256 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1259 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1260 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1262 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1264 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1265 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1267 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1269 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1270 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1271 use define-public to export from the module.
1273 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1275 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1276 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1277 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1279 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1281 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1283 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1285 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1286 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1288 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1290 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1292 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1294 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1296 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1298 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1299 long_long uniform vectors.
1301 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1303 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1304 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1306 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1308 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1309 script to create generated files like this one.
1311 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1313 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1314 available before using getpw and getuid.
1315 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1316 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1318 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1319 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1320 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1322 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1323 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1324 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1326 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1327 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1329 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1331 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1333 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1334 than 'exit-debugger.
1336 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1337 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1339 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1341 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1343 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1344 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1345 ("position"): New command.
1346 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1347 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1348 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1349 to return a valid state.)
1350 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1352 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1354 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1355 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1358 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1360 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1361 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1363 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1365 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1367 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1369 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1370 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1372 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1373 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1374 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1376 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1379 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1381 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1382 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1384 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1386 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1388 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1389 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1390 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1391 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1393 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1396 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1397 both forward and backward views of the stack
1398 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1399 Use selector `frame-number';
1400 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1401 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1403 Use readline conditionally.
1405 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1407 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1408 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1409 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1411 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1412 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1415 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1417 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1419 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1421 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1423 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1425 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1427 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1428 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1429 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1430 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1431 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1432 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1433 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1434 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1435 libguile-config-stamp.
1436 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1437 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1438 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1439 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1440 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1442 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1444 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1445 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1446 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1448 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1449 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1450 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1451 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1454 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1456 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1458 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1460 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1462 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1463 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1465 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1467 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1468 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1469 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1470 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1471 objects starting with '#/'.
1473 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1475 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1476 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1477 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1478 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1479 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1480 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1482 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1483 module-modified): New procedures.
1484 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1485 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1487 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1489 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1492 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1494 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1495 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1496 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1498 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1501 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1503 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1504 at multiple calls to read.
1505 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1506 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1507 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1508 continued-lines prompt.
1510 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1511 reading expressions.
1513 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1515 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1516 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1518 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1520 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1521 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1524 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1526 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1527 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1529 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1530 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1531 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1532 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1533 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1536 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1538 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1539 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1541 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1543 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1544 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1545 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1546 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1548 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1550 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1552 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1553 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1554 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1557 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1559 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1560 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1561 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1562 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1563 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1564 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1565 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1566 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1567 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1568 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1569 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1571 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1573 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1574 peeked from the stream.
1575 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1576 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1577 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1579 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1581 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1582 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1584 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1586 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1587 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1588 exiting repl with single control-D.
1590 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1592 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1593 error catching loop after quit received.
1594 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1596 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1597 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1598 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1600 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1601 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1603 * popen.scm: new file.
1605 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1607 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1608 (reverse-iota): removed.
1610 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1612 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1613 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1615 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1617 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1618 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1619 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1620 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1621 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1623 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1625 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1627 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1628 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1630 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1631 Guile's module system.
1633 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1635 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1636 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1637 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1638 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1639 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1640 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1642 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1643 '() when the condition is false.
1645 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1647 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1649 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1651 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1653 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1655 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1656 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1657 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1659 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1661 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1662 argument order for hash-fold.
1664 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1666 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1668 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1669 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1671 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1672 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1673 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1674 has been added to the load path).
1676 Use try-load-module.
1678 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1680 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1681 module between system and user state.
1683 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1685 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1687 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1690 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1692 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1693 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1694 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1696 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1698 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1699 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1700 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1701 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1702 stack frame encountered.
1704 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1705 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1706 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1707 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1710 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1711 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1712 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1713 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1716 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1717 define-module switches:
1719 (define-module (foo)
1722 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1725 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1726 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1727 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1728 module it is a system frame.
1730 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1731 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1732 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1733 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1734 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1736 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1737 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1738 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1739 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1740 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1741 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1743 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1744 status of a module.;
1745 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1746 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1748 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1749 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1750 closure to the module.
1752 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1754 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1756 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1758 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1760 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1762 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1764 Fix from Russ McManus:
1765 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1766 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1767 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1768 either an optional or required value.
1770 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1772 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1774 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1775 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1777 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1778 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1779 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1780 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1782 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1784 * optargs.scm: New file.
1785 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1786 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1788 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1790 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1791 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1792 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1794 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1796 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1797 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1800 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1802 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1804 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1806 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1807 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1808 applied to the module itself.
1810 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1812 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1814 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1815 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1817 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1819 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1821 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1823 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1825 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1827 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1828 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1830 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1832 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1833 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1834 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1835 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1836 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1837 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1838 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1840 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1842 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1843 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1845 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1847 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1848 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1851 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1853 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1855 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1857 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1859 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1861 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1862 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1863 adapt to the new hooks.
1865 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1867 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1868 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1869 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1871 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1872 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1874 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1875 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1876 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1877 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1878 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1879 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1880 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1881 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1882 first to register linked modules.
1884 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1885 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1886 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1888 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1889 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1890 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1891 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1893 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1895 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1898 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1899 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1900 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1902 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1904 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1905 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1906 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1908 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1910 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1911 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1912 result of the last form.
1914 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1916 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1919 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1921 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1922 readline-set!: New options interface.
1924 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1926 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1928 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1929 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1931 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1933 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1934 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1936 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1938 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1939 interactive session.
1940 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1942 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1943 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1945 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1947 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1949 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1951 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1952 read line was empty.
1954 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1956 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1957 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1959 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1961 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1963 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1964 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1965 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1967 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1968 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1970 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1971 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1972 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1974 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1975 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1976 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1977 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1978 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1979 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1981 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1983 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1984 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1986 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1988 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1989 and short vectors #h(...).
1991 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1993 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1994 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1995 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1997 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1999 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2000 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2001 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2003 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2005 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2006 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2008 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2009 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2010 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2011 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2013 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2015 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2018 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2019 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2020 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2021 context with traps enabled.
2023 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2025 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2027 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2029 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2031 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2032 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2033 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2034 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2035 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2037 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2039 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2040 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2042 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2044 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2046 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2048 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2050 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2052 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2054 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2056 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2057 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2059 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2061 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2062 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2063 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2064 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2067 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2068 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2069 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2071 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2073 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2074 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2075 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2076 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2077 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2078 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2079 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2081 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2083 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2085 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2087 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2088 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2089 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2090 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2091 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2092 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2094 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2096 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2097 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2098 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2101 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2103 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2105 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2107 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2109 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2111 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2114 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2116 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2118 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2120 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2121 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2123 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2125 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2126 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2127 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2128 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2130 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2131 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2133 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2135 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2137 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2139 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2140 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2143 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2144 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2146 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2147 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2148 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2150 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2152 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2154 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2156 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2157 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2159 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2161 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2163 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2165 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2166 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2168 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2170 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2173 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2175 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2176 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2178 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2180 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2182 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2184 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2187 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2189 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2190 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2191 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2192 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2193 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2196 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2198 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2199 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2200 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2202 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2204 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2206 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2207 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2209 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2211 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2212 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2213 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2214 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2215 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2216 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2217 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2220 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2222 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2225 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2227 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2228 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2229 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2230 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2231 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2232 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2234 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2236 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2237 usefully so they will work from a script.
2239 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2241 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2242 neighborhood of the record code.
2244 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2246 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2247 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2248 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2249 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2251 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2253 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2254 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2255 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2257 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2259 Add support for readline function.
2260 * readline.scm: New module.
2261 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2262 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2263 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2265 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2266 repl-reader to use them.
2267 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2269 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2271 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2273 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2274 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2276 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2278 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2279 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2280 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2282 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2284 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2285 #f, abort terminates the process.
2286 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2287 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2289 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2291 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2292 print-state, throw it away.
2294 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2296 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2299 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2301 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2302 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2303 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2304 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2306 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2307 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2309 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2311 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2313 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2315 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2316 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2317 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2318 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2319 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2321 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2322 distribution and installation.

2331 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2332 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2333 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2335 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2336 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2339 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2341 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2343 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2345 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2347 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2348 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2349 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2350 field a separate argument.
2352 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2354 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2356 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2358 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2362 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2364 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2366 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2369 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2370 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2371 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2372 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2373 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2375 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2376 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2377 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2378 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2379 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2382 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2384 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

2389 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2391 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2393 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2395 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2396 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2397 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2398 expansion inside the slib module.
2400 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2402 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2403 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

2408 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2410 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2411 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2412 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2414 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2415 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2418 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2420 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2421 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2423 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2425 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2426 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2427 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2428 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2429 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2430 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2431 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2432 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

2438 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2440 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2441 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2442 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2443 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2444 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2446 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2447 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2448 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2450 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2451 the syncase interface.
2453 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2455 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2456 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2457 workings of the current module system).
2459 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2461 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2462 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2465 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2467 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2468 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

2471 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2473 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2474 according to the following priorities:
2475 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2476 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2478 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2479 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2480 (new-interpreter): New function.
2482 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2483 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2484 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2486 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2488 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2490 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2492 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2494 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2496 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2498 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2500 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2502 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2503 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2506 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2508 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2509 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2510 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2511 symbols matching regexp.
2513 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2514 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2517 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2518 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2519 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2520 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2521 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2523 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2524 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2526 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2528 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2529 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2531 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2532 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2534 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2536 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2538 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2539 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2540 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2542 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2544 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2545 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2546 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2548 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2550 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
2551 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
2553 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2555 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2558 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2560 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2561 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2562 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2564 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2565 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2568 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2569 order to narrow it correctly.
2570 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2577 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2579 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2581 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2583 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2584 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2586 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2588 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2589 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2590 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2592 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2594 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2597 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2599 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2605 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2607 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

2624 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2625 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2626 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2627 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2628 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2629 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2631 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2632 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2633 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2634 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2636 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2638 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2639 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2640 sending in bug reports.
2641 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2642 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2643 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2644 display a warning if the two are different.
2645 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2646 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2647 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2649 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2651 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2653 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2655 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2656 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2658 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2659 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2660 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2661 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2662 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2663 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2666 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2667 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2670 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2671 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2673 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2676 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2679 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2681 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2684 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2686 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2687 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2689 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2691 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2692 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2693 to support printing of structures.
2694 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2695 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2696 commented out printing code.
2697 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2698 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2700 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

2704 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2706 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2707 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2708 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2709 during call to scm-style-repl.
2711 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2713 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2714 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2715 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2716 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2717 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2719 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2721 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2722 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2725 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2727 * regex.scm: New file.
2728 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2729 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2731 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2733 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2734 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2735 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2736 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2738 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2740 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2743 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2745 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2746 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2747 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2749 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2751 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2752 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2755 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2757 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2759 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2761 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2763 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2765 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2766 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2769 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2771 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2772 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2773 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2775 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2777 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2778 the Scheme code like code yet.
2779 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2781 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2783 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2784 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2785 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2787 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2789 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2791 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2794 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2796 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2798 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2800 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2802 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2803 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2804 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2806 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2808 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2809 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2810 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2812 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2814 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2815 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2817 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2819 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2822 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2824 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2826 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2828 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2829 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2831 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2833 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2834 instead of in libguile.
2835 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2836 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2838 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2840 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2842 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2843 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2845 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2847 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2848 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2850 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2852 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2853 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2854 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2855 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2857 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2859 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2860 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2862 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2864 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2866 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2868 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2869 keywords and symbols.
2871 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2873 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2875 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2876 Don't define read-sharp.
2878 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2879 (read-sharp): removed.
2880 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2881 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2883 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2885 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2887 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2888 primitive procedure.)
2890 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2891 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2893 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2895 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2897 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2899 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2901 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2903 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2905 * (exit): alias for quit.
2907 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2909 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2910 return the quit args.
2911 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2912 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2913 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2915 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2917 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2919 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2921 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2922 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2924 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2925 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2927 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2928 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2931 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2933 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2935 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2936 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2937 Change hooks to use these functions.
2939 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2940 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2941 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2943 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2944 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2945 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2946 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2947 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2948 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2949 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2952 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2953 and exit-frame exceptions.
2955 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2956 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2957 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2958 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2959 result; otherwise display "> ".
2960 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2962 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2963 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2964 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2965 repository version runnable.
2967 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2969 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2970 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2971 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2972 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2973 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2974 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2976 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2978 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2979 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2981 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2983 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2984 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2986 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2988 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2990 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2992 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2995 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2997 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2998 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3000 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3002 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3005 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3007 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3008 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3010 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3012 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3014 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3015 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3016 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3017 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3018 dynamic linking of modules.
3019 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3020 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3022 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3024 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3026 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3028 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3031 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3032 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3035 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3037 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3038 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3039 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3041 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3043 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3044 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3047 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3049 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3050 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3051 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3053 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3055 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3056 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3057 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3058 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3060 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3061 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3062 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3063 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3064 (such as the-scm-module).
3066 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3068 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3071 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3073 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3074 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3075 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3077 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3079 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3080 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3081 function, use it accordingly.
3083 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3085 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3086 function of no arguments.
3087 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3088 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3089 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3090 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3091 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3092 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3093 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3094 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3096 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3098 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3099 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3101 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3103 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3104 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3105 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3106 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3107 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3109 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3112 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3113 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3114 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3115 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3117 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3119 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3121 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3122 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3123 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3125 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3128 Added `before-read-hook'.
3130 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3132 (provide): New function.
3134 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3137 (backtrace): New function.
3139 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3140 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3141 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3142 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3143 is found in operator position in a frame.
3145 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3148 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3149 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3150 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3152 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3154 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3156 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3158 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3160 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3162 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3164 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3165 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3167 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3168 so they'll get distributed.
3170 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3171 should see as little clutter as possible.
3172 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3173 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3174 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3176 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3177 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3178 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3179 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3180 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3181 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3182 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3183 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3184 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3185 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3187 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3188 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3190 * test.scm: New file.
3192 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3193 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3194 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3196 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3197 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3199 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3201 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3202 call %load-announce.
3204 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3206 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3207 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3208 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3210 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3212 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3214 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3215 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3216 SCSH (which this isn't).
3218 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3220 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3222 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3224 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3225 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3226 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3228 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3229 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3230 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3231 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3234 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3236 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3238 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3240 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3241 error-catching-loop.
3242 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3243 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3244 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3246 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3247 error-catching-loop.
3249 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3251 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3252 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3253 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3254 should be '(), not #f.
3256 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3257 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3259 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3261 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3262 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3265 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3267 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3268 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3269 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3270 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3272 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3274 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3276 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3278 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3280 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3281 throw-handler-default.
3282 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3284 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3286 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3287 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3289 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3291 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3292 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3293 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3294 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3296 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3298 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3299 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3300 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3301 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3303 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3304 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3305 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3306 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3309 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3311 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3313 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3316 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3319 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3321 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3323 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3324 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3326 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3328 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3330 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3332 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3334 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3335 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3336 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3337 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3338 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3340 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3341 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3342 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3343 they seem redundant.
3344 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3345 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3346 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3347 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3348 directly files starting with "/").
3349 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3350 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3352 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3354 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3356 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3357 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3358 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3359 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3360 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3361 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3362 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3363 robust to just do it in the C code.
3365 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3367 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3368 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3369 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3370 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3371 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3373 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3375 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3376 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3377 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3379 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3381 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3382 system-error, not every kind of error.
3383 (scm-error): new procedure.
3385 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3387 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3389 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3391 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3392 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3393 of args are supplied.
3394 (%%system-errors): removed.
3395 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3396 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3397 %%handle-system-error.
3398 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3399 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3400 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3401 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3403 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3405 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3406 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3407 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3408 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3410 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3412 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3413 the empty list if they are #f.
3414 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3416 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3418 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3420 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3421 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3422 aborting, just the key and subr.
3423 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3424 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3425 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3427 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3429 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3430 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3431 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3432 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3433 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3435 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3437 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3438 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3439 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3440 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3442 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3444 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3445 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3446 initialize %load-path.
3448 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3449 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3451 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3453 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3454 Add the directory named after the version number.
3455 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3456 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3457 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3458 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3459 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3460 (install): Create the above directories.
3461 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3462 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3464 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3466 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3467 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3468 in the Makefile directly.
3469 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3471 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3473 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3474 here, where people expect to find them.
3476 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3478 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3479 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3481 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3483 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3485 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3486 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3488 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3490 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3491 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3493 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3494 weak-key-hash-table.
3496 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3498 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3499 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3500 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3501 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3502 (%open-file): removed.
3503 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3504 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3506 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3508 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3509 (manifest): Deleted.
3510 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3511 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3513 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3515 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3516 now that they throw errors directly.
3517 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3518 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3520 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3522 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3524 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3526 * The more things change...
