  43         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
  44
  45 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  46

  62         sockaddr:port): new functions.
  63
  64 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
  67         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
  68         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
  69         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
  70
  71 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  72
  73 *       * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
  74         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
  75
  76 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
  79
  80 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  81
  82         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
  83         keywords and symbols.
  84
  85 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  86
  87         * slib.scm: update read usage.
  88
  89         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
  90         Don't define read-sharp.
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
  93         (read-sharp): removed.
  94         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
  95         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
  96
  97 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  98
  99         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 100
 101         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 102         primitive procedure.)
 103
 104         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 105         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

 108
 109         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 110
 111 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 112
 113         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 114
 115 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 118         read gets EOF.
 119         * (exit): alias for quit.
 120
 121 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 122
 123         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 124         return the quit args.
 125         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 126         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 127         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 128
 129         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 130
 131 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 132
 133         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 134
 135         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 136         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 139         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 140
 141         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 142         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 143         of handlers.
 144
 145 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 146
 147         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 150         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 151         Change hooks to use these functions.
 152
 153 *       * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 154         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 155         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 156         the source! :-)
 157         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 158         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 159         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 160         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 161         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 162         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 163         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 164         traced.
 165
 166         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 167         and exit-frame exceptions.
 168
 169 *       * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 170         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 171         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 172         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 173         result; otherwise display "> ".
 174         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 175
 176         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 177         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 178         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 179         repository version runnable.
 180
 181 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 182
 183         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 184         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 185         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 186         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 187         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 188         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 189
 190 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 191
 192         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 193         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 194         and eval.
 195         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 196         "defined?".
 197         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 198         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 199
 200 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 201
 202         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 203
 204 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 207         %read-sharp layer.
 208
 209 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 210
 211         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 212         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 213
 214 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 215
 216         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 217         backtrace.c.)
 218
 219 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 220
 221         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 222         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 223
 224 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 225
 226         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 229         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 230         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 231         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 232         dynamic linking of modules.
 233         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 234         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 235
 236 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 239
 240 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 241
 242         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 243         that's what it is.
 244
 245         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 246         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 247         was false.
 248
 249 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 250
 251 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 252         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 253         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 254
 255 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 256
 257         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 258         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 259         yet.
 260
 261 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 262
 263         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 264         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 265         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 266
 267 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 268
 269         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 270         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 271         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 272         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 273
 274         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 275         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 276         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 277         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 278         (such as the-scm-module).
 279
 280 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 281
 282         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 283         %search-load-path.
 284
 285 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 286
 287         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 288         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 289         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 290
 291 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 292
 293         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 294         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 295         function, use it accordingly.
 296
 297 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 298
 299         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 300         function of no arguments.
 301         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 302         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 303         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 304         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 305         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 306         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 307         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 308         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 309
 310 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 311
 312         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 313         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 314
 315 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 316
 317         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 318         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 319         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 320         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 321         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 322
 323         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 324         `*features*'.
 325
 326         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 327         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 328         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 329         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 330
 331         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 332
 333         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 334
 335         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 336         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 337         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 338
 339         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 340         error.
 341
 342         Added `before-read-hook'.
 343
 344         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 345
 346         (provide): New function.
 347
 348         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 349         in backtraces.
 350
 351         (backtrace): New function.
 352
 353         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 354         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 355         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 356         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 357         is found in operator position in a frame.
 358
 359         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 360         by default.
 361
 362         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 363         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 364         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 365
 366         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 367
 368         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 369
 370         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 371
 372         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 373
 374 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 375
 376         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 377
 378         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 379         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 380
 381         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 382         so they'll get distributed.
 383
 384         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 385         should see as little clutter as possible.
 386         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 387         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 388         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 389
 390         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 391         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 392         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 393         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 394         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 395         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 396         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 397         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 398         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 399         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 400         that are not.
 401         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 402         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 403
 404         * test.scm: New file.
 405
 406         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 407         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 408         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 411         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 412
 413         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 414         work now.
 415         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 416         call %load-announce.
 417
 418 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 419
 420         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 421         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 422         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 423         components.
 424         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 425
 426 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 429         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 430         SCSH (which this isn't).
 431
 432 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 433
 434         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 435
 436 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 437
 438         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 439         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 440         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 441         these.
 442         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 443         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 444         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 445         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 446         save-stack.
 447
 448 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 449
 450         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 451
 452         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 453
 454         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 455         error-catching-loop.
 456         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 457         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 458         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 459
 460         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 461         error-catching-loop.
 462
 463 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 464
 465         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 466         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 467         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 468         should be '(), not #f.
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 471         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 472
 473 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 476         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 477         error-signal.
 478
 479 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 482         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 483         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 484         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 485
 486 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 487
 488         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 489
 490 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 491
 492         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 493
 494         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 495         throw-handler-default.
 496         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 497         reported.
 498         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 499         acro.
 500         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 501         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
 502
 503 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 504
 505         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 506         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 507         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 508         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 509
 510 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 511
 512         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 513         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 514         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 515         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 516         ...))
 517         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 518         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 519         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 520         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 521         file-is-directory?
 522
 523 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 524
 525         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 526
 527         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 528         distribution.
 529
 530         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 531         `switch-repl'.
 532
 533         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 534
 535 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 538         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 539
 540 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 545
 546 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 547
 548         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 549         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 550         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 551         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 552         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 553
 554         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 555         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 556         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 557         they seem redundant.
 558         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 559         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 560         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 561         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 562         directly files starting with "/").
 563         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 564         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 565
 566         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 567
 568 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 569
 570         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 571         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 572         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 573         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 574         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 575         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 576         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 577         robust to just do it in the C code.
 578
 579 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 580
 581         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 582         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 583         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 584         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 585         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 586
 587 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 588
 589         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 590         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 591         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 592
 593 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 596         system-error, not every kind of error.
 597         (scm-error): new procedure.
 598
 599 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 600
 601         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 602
 603 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 606         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 607         of args are supplied.
 608         (%%system-errors): removed.
 609         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 610         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 611         %%handle-system-error.
 612         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 613         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 614         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 615         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 616
 617 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 620         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 621         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 622         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 623
 624 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 627         the empty list if they are #f.
 628         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 629
 630 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 631
 632         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 633
 634         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 635         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 636         aborting, just the key and subr.
 637         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 638         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 639         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 640
 641 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 642
 643         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 644         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 645         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 646         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 647         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 648
 649 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 650
 651         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 652         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 653         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 654         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 655
 656 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 657
 658         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 659         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 660         initialize %load-path.
 661
 662         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 663         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 664
 665 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 666
 667         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 668         Add the directory named after the version number.
 669         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 670         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 671         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 672         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 673         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
 674         (install): Create the above directories.
 675         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
 676         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
 677
 678 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 679
 680         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 681         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 682         in the Makefile directly.
 683         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 684         for these.
 685         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 686         aux_files.
 687         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 688         here, where people expect to find them.
 689
 690 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 691
 692         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
 693         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
 694
 695         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
 696
 697 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 698
 699         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 700         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
 701
 702 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 703
 704         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
 705         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
 706

 712         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
 713         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
 714         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).

 723         (manifest): Deleted.
 724         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
