ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
   4         usefully so they will work from a script.
   5
   6 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
   9         neighborhood of the record code.
  10
  11 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
  14         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
  15         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
  16         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
  17
  18 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  19
  20         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
  21         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
  22         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  23
  24 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  25
  26         Add support for readline function.
  27         * readline.scm: New module.
  28         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
  29         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
  30         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
  31         anything.
  32         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
  33         repl-reader to use them.
  34         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
  35
  36         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
  37
  38 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  39
  40         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
  41         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
  42
  43 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  44
  45         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
  46         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
  47         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
  48
  49 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  50
  51         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
  52         #f, abort terminates the process.
  53         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
  54         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
  55
  56 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
  59         print-state, throw it away.
  60
  61 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
  64         `0'.
  65
  66 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
  69         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
  70         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
  71         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
  72         user field).
  73         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
  74         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
  75
  76 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
  79
  80 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  81
  82         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
  83         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
  84         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
  85         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
  86         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
  87         boot-9.scm.
  88         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
  89         distribution and installation.
  90         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  91
  92 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  93
  94         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
  95
  96 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  97
  98         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
  99         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 100         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 101
 102         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 103         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 104         symbol.
 105
 106 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 107
 108         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 109
 110         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 111
 112 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 113
 114         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 115         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 116         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 117         field a separate argument.
 118
 119         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 120
 121 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 122
 123         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 126         vicinity;
 127         Provide defmacro.
 128
 129 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 130
 131         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 132
 133 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 134
 135         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 136         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 137         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 138         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 139         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 140         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 141         registered.
 142         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 143         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 144         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 145         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 146         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 147         link a .so-file.
 148
 149 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 157
 158 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 159
 160 *       * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 161
 162         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 163         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 164         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 165         expansion inside the slib module.
 166
 167         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 168         constructors.

 170         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 171         (let): New core form.
 172         (if): Removed from core language.
 173         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 174         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode

 176
 177         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 178         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 179         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 180         source.
 181         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 182         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 183         been loaded.
 184
 185 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 186
 187         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 188         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 189         `use-syntax'.
 190         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 191
 192         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 193         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 194         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 195         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 196         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 197         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 198         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 199 *       (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 200         module.
 201         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 202
 203 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 204
 205         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 206
 207         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 208         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 209         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 210         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 211         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 212
 213         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 214         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 215         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 216         syncase macros.
 217         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 218         the syncase interface.
 219
 220 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 221
 222         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 223         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 224         workings of the current module system).
 225
 226 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 227
 228         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 229         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 230         off!
 231
 232 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 233
 234         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 235         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 236         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 237
 238 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 239
 240         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 241         according to the following priorities:
 242         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 243         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 244         3. tcl bindings
 245         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 246         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 247         (new-interpreter): New function.
 248
 249         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 250         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 251         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 252
 253 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 262
 263         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 264         procedures.
 265         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 266

 268
 269         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 270         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 271         source!
 272
 273 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 274
 275         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
 276         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

 281         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 282         in stack-ref).
 283
 284         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 285         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 286         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 287         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 288         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 289         result protocol;
 290         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 291         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
 292

 302
 303 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 304
 305         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 306         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 307         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 308
 309         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 310
 311 *       * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 312         psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

 326
 327         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 328         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 329         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 330
 331         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 332         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 333         the top.
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 336         order to narrow it correctly.
 337         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

 347
 348 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 349
 350         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 351         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 352
 353 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 354
 355         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 356         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call

 359 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 360
 361         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 362         automatically.
 363
 364 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 365
 366         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 367         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 368         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 369         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 370         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 371
 372 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 373
 374         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 375         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 376         a default of /.
 377
 378         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 379
 380 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 381
 382         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 383         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 384         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 385
 386         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 387         make-regexp.
 388
 389 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 390
 391         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 392         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 393         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 394         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 395         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 396         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 397
 398         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 399         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 400         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 401         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 402
 403 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 404
 405         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 406         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 407         sending in bug reports.
 408         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 409         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 410         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 411         display a warning if the two are different.
 412         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 413         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 414         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 415
 416 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 417
 418         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 419
 420 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 421
 422         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 423         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 424
 425         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 426         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 427         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 428         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 429         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 430         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 431         that's okay.
 432
 433         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 434         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 435         regexp interface.
 436
 437         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 438         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 439
 440         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 441         function names.
 442
 443         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 444         fixes.
 445
 446 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 447
 448         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 449         ../configure.in.
 450
 451 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 454         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 455
 456 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 457
 458         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 459         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 460         to support printing of structures.
 461         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 462         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 463         commented out printing code.
 464         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 465         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 466
 467 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 468
 469         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 470
 471 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 472
 473         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 474         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 475         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 476         during call to scm-style-repl.
 477
 478 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 479
 480         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 481         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 482         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 483         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 484         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 485
 486 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 487
 488         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 489         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 490         (ice-9 regex).
 491
 492 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 493
 494         * regex.scm: New file.
 495         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 496         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 497
 498 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 499
 500         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 501         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 502         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 503         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 506
 507         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 508         in 1997.
 509
 510 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 511
 512         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 513         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 514         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 515
 516 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 517
 518         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 519         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 520         here.
 521
 522 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 523
 524         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 525
 526 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 527
 528         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 529
 530 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 531
 532         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 533         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 534         fixes this too.
 535
 536 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 537
 538         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 539         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 540         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 541
 542 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 543
 544         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 545         the Scheme code like code yet.
 546         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 547
 548 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 549
 550         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 551         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 552         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 553
 554 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 555
 556         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 557         use-modules macro
 558         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 559         can't be found.
 560
 561 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 562
 563         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 564
 565 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 566
 567         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 568
 569         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 570         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 571         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 572
 573 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 574
 575         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 576         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 577         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 578
 579         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 580         no plugins.
 581         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 582         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 583
 584 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 585
 586         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 587         functions.
 588
 589 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 592
 593 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 594
 595         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 596         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 597
 598 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 599
 600         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 601         instead of in libguile.
 602         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 603         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 604
 605 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 606
 607         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 608         procedures.
 609         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 610         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 611
 612 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 613
 614         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 615         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 616
 617 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 620         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 621         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 622         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 623
 624 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 627         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 628
 629 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 632
 633 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 634
 635         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 636         keywords and symbols.
 637
 638 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 639
 640         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 641
 642         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 643         Don't define read-sharp.
 644
 645         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 646         (read-sharp): removed.
 647         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 648         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 649
 650 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 651
 652         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 653
 654         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by

 657         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 658         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

 667
 668 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 669
 670         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 671         read gets EOF.
 672         * (exit): alias for quit.
 673
 674 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 675
 676         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 677         return the quit args.
 678         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 679         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 680         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 681
 682         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 683
 684 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 685
 686         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 687
 688         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 689         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 690
 691         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 692         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 693
 694         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 695         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 696         of handlers.
 697
 698 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 699
 700         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 701
 702         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 703         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 704         Change hooks to use these functions.
 705
 706         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 707         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 708         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 709         the source! :-)
 710         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 711         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 712         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 713         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 714         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 715         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 716         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 717         traced.
 718
 719         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 720         and exit-frame exceptions.
 721
 722         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 723         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 724         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 725         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 726         result; otherwise display "> ".
 727         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 728
 729         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 730         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 731         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 732         repository version runnable.
 733
 734 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 735
 736         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 737         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 738         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 739         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 740         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 741         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 742
 743 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 744
 745         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 746         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 747         and eval.
 748         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 749         "defined?".
 750         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 751         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 752
 753 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 754
 755         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 756
 757 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 758
 759         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 760         %read-sharp layer.
 761
 762 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 763
 764         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 765         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 766
 767 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 770         backtrace.c.)
 771
 772 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 773
 774         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 775         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 776
 777 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 778
 779         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 780
 781         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 782         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 783         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 784         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 785         dynamic linking of modules.
 786         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 787         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 788
 789 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 790
 791         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 792
 793 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 796         that's what it is.
 797
 798         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 799         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 800         was false.
 801
 802 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 805         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 806         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 807
 808 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 811         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 812         yet.
 813
 814 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 815
 816         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 817         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 818         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 819
 820 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 821
 822         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 823         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 824         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 825         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 826
 827         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 828         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 829         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 830         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 831         (such as the-scm-module).
 832
 833 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 834
 835         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 836         %search-load-path.
 837
 838 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 839
 840         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 841         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 842         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 843
 844 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 847         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 848         function, use it accordingly.
 849
 850 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 851
 852         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 853         function of no arguments.
 854         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 855         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 856         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 857         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 858         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 859         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 860         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 861         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 862
 863 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 864
 865         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 866         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 867
 868 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 869
 870         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 871         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 872         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 873         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 874         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 875
 876         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 877         `*features*'.
 878
 879         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 880         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 881         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 882         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 883
 884         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 885
 886         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 887
 888         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 889         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 890         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 891
 892         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 893         error.
 894
 895         Added `before-read-hook'.
 896
 897         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 898
 899         (provide): New function.
 900
 901         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 902         in backtraces.
 903
 904         (backtrace): New function.
 905
 906         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 907         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 908         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 909         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 910         is found in operator position in a frame.
 911
 912         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 913         by default.
 914
 915         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 916         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 917         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 918
 919         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 920
 921         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 922
 923         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 924
 925         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 926
 927 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 928
 929         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 932         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 933
 934         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 935         so they'll get distributed.
 936
 937         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 938         should see as little clutter as possible.
 939         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 940         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 941         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 942
 943         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 944         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 945         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 946         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 947         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 948         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 949         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 950         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 951         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 952         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 953         that are not.
 954         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 955         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 956
 957         * test.scm: New file.
 958
 959         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 960         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 961         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 962
 963         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 964         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 967         work now.
 968         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 969         call %load-announce.
 970
 971 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 974         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 975         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 976         components.
 977         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 978
 979 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 982         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 983         SCSH (which this isn't).
 984
 985 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 986
 987         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 988
 989 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 992         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 993         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 994         these.
 995         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 996         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 997         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 998         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 999         save-stack.
1000
1001 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1002
1003         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1004
1005         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1006
1007         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1008         error-catching-loop.
1009         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1010         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1011         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1012
1013         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1014         error-catching-loop.
1015
1016 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1017
1018         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1019         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1020         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1021         should be '(), not #f.
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1024         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1025
1026 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1029         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1030         error-signal.
1031
1032 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1033
1034         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1035         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1036         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1037         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1038
1039 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1040
1041         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1042
1043 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1044
1045         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1046
1047         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1048         throw-handler-default.
1049         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1050         reported.
1051         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1052         acro.
1053         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1054         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1055
1056 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1057
1058         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1059         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1060         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1061         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1062
1063 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1064
1065         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1066         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1067         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1068         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1069         ...))
1070         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1071         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1072         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1073         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1074         file-is-directory?

1076 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1077
1078         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1079
1080         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1081         distribution.
1082
1083         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1084         `switch-repl'.
1085
1086         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1087
1088 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1091         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1092
1093 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1094
1095         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1098
1099 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1100
1101         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1102         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1103         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1104         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1105         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1106
1107         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1108         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1109         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1110         they seem redundant.
1111         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1112         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1113         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1114         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1115         directly files starting with "/").
1116         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1117         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1118
1119         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1120
1121 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1122
1123         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1124         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1125         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1126         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1127         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1128         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1129         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1130         robust to just do it in the C code.
1131
1132 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1135         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1136         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1137         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1138         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1139
1140 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1143         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1144         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1145
1146 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1147
1148         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1149         system-error, not every kind of error.
1150         (scm-error): new procedure.
1151
1152 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1155
1156 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1157
1158         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1159         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1160         of args are supplied.
1161         (%%system-errors): removed.
1162         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1163         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1164         %%handle-system-error.
1165         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1166         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1167         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1168         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1169
1170 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1171
1172         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1173         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1174         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1175         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1176
1177 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1178
1179         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1180         the empty list if they are #f.
1181         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1182
1183 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1184
1185         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1188         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1189         aborting, just the key and subr.
1190         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1191         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1192         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1193
1194 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1195
1196         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1197         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1198         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1199         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1200         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1201
1202 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1205         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1206         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1207         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1208
1209 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1210
1211         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1212         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1213         initialize %load-path.
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1216         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1217
1218 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1219
1220         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1221         Add the directory named after the version number.
1222         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1223         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1224         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1225         sitedatadir): New definitions.

1232
1233         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1234         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1235         in the Makefile directly.
1236         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1237         for these.
1238         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1239         aux_files.

1251
1252         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1253         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

1264
1265         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1266         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

1269         (%open-file): removed.
1270         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1271         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

1275         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1276         (manifest): Deleted.
1277         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

1279
1280 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1281
1282         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1283         now that they throw errors directly.
1284         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1285         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1286
1287 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1288
1289         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1290
1291 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
