111 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

246 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
247 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
248 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
249 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
250 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
251 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
252 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
254 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
256 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only

261 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings

266 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
269 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
271 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
273 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
275 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
276 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
277 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
278 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
279 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

285 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
286 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
287 make-shared-substring.
289 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
291 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
292 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
293 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
294 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
297 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
299 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
300 and open-output-pipe.
302 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
304 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
305 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
306 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
307 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
308 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
309 Pirotte for the bug report).
310 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
311 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
313 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
315 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

333 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
335 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
336 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
337 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
339 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
340 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
341 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
342 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
343 actual documentation entries themselves.
345 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

375 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
377 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
378 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
380 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
382 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
385 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

408 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
410 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
411 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
412 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
413 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
414 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
416 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
418 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

512 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
514 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
515 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.

519 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

556 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
559 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
560 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
561 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
562 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
563 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
564 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
565 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive

582 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
583 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
584 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
585 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
586 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
587 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).

591 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
592 accept complex numbers as parameter.
594 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
596 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
597 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
599 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
601 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
602 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
603 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
604 instead of remove-if when iterating.
605 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
606 delete-if! when iterating.
608 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
610 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
612 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
614 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
616 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
618 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
619 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
620 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
621 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
623 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
625 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
626 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
628 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
630 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
631 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
632 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
633 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
635 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
637 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
638 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
640 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
642 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
643 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
645 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
647 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
650 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
652 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
653 source of the numerous very short changes.
655 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
657 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
660 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
663 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
665 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
668 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
670 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
671 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
673 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
675 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
678 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
680 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
681 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
682 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
684 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
686 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
687 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
688 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
689 Narazaki for this change.
691 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
693 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
694 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
697 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
698 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
700 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
702 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
703 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
705 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
707 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
708 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
709 use define-public to export from the module.
711 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
713 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
714 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
715 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
717 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
719 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
721 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
723 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
724 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
726 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
728 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
730 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
732 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
734 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
736 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
737 long_long uniform vectors.
739 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
741 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
742 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
744 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
746 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
747 script to create generated files like this one.
749 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
751 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
752 available before using getpw and getuid.
753 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
754 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
756 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
757 check for .guile, instead of stat.
758 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
760 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
761 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
762 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
764 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
765 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
767 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
769 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
771 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
774 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
775 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
777 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
779 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
781 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
782 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
783 ("position"): New command.
784 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
785 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
786 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
787 to return a valid state.)
788 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
790 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
792 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
793 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
796 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
798 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
799 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
801 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
803 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
805 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
807 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
808 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
810 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
811 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
812 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
814 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
817 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
819 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
820 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
822 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
824 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
826 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
827 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
828 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
829 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
831 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
834 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
835 both forward and backward views of the stack
836 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
837 Use selector `frame-number';
838 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
839 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
841 Use readline conditionally.
843 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
845 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
846 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
847 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
849 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
850 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
853 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
855 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
857 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
859 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
861 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
863 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
865 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
866 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
867 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
868 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
869 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
870 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
871 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
872 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
873 libguile-config-stamp.
874 * version.scm.in: Delete.
875 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
876 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
877 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
878 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
880 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
882 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
883 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
884 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
886 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
887 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
888 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
889 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
892 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
894 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
896 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
898 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
900 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
901 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
903 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
905 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
906 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
907 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
908 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
909 objects starting with '#/'.
911 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
913 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
914 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
915 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
916 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
917 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
918 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
920 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
921 module-modified): New procedures.
922 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
923 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
925 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
927 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
930 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
932 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
933 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
934 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
936 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
939 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
941 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
942 at multiple calls to read.
943 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
944 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
945 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
946 continued-lines prompt.
948 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
951 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
953 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
954 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
956 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
958 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
959 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
962 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
964 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
965 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
967 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
968 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
969 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
970 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
971 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
974 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
976 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
977 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
979 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
981 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
982 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
983 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
984 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
986 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
988 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
990 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
991 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
992 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
995 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
997 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
998 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
999 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1000 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1001 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1002 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1003 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1004 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1005 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1006 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1007 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1009 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1011 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1012 peeked from the stream.
1013 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1014 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1015 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1017 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1019 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1020 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1022 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1024 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1025 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1026 exiting repl with single control-D.
1028 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1030 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1031 error catching loop after quit received.
1032 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1034 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1035 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1036 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1038 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1039 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1041 * popen.scm: new file.
1043 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1045 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1046 (reverse-iota): removed.
1048 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1050 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1051 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1053 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1055 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1056 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1057 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1058 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1059 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1061 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1063 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1065 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1066 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1068 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1069 Guile's module system.
1071 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1073 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1074 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1075 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1076 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1077 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1078 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1080 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1081 '() when the condition is false.
1083 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1085 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1087 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1089 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1091 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1093 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1094 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1095 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1097 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1100 argument order for hash-fold.
1102 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1104 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1106 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1107 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1109 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1110 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1111 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1112 has been added to the load path).
1114 Use try-load-module.
1116 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1118 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1119 module between system and user state.
1121 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1125 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1128 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1130 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1131 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1132 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1134 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1136 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1137 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1138 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1139 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1140 stack frame encountered.
1142 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1143 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1144 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1145 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1148 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1149 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1150 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1151 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1154 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1155 define-module switches:
1157 (define-module (foo)
1160 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1163 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1164 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1165 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1166 module it is a system frame.
1168 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1169 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1170 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1171 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1172 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1174 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1175 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1176 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1177 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1178 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1179 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1181 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1182 status of a module.;
1183 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1184 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1186 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1187 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1188 closure to the module.
1190 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1192 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1194 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1196 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1198 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1200 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1202 Fix from Russ McManus:
1203 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1204 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1205 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1206 either an optional or required value.
1208 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1210 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1212 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1213 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1215 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1216 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1217 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1218 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1220 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1222 * optargs.scm: New file.
1223 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1224 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1226 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1228 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1229 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1230 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1232 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1234 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1235 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1238 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1240 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1242 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1245 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1246 applied to the module itself.
1248 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1250 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1252 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1253 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1255 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1257 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1259 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1261 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1263 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1265 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1266 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1268 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1270 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1271 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1272 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1273 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1274 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1275 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1276 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1278 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1280 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1281 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1283 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1285 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1286 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1289 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1291 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1293 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1297 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1299 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1300 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1301 adapt to the new hooks.
1303 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1305 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1306 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1307 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1309 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1310 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1312 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1313 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1314 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1315 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1316 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1317 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1318 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1319 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1320 first to register linked modules.
1322 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1323 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1324 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1326 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1327 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1328 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1329 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1331 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1333 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1336 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1337 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1338 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1340 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1342 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1343 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1344 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1346 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1348 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1349 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1350 result of the last form.
1352 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1354 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1357 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1359 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1360 readline-set!: New options interface.
1362 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1364 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1366 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1367 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1369 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1371 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1372 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1374 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1376 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1377 interactive session.
1378 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1380 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1381 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1383 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1385 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1387 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1389 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1390 read line was empty.
1392 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1394 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1395 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1397 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1399 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1401 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1402 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1403 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1405 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1406 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1408 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1409 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1410 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1412 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1413 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1414 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1415 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1416 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1417 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1419 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1421 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1422 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1424 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1426 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1427 and short vectors #h(...).
1429 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1431 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1432 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1433 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1435 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1437 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1438 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1439 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1441 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1443 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1444 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1446 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1447 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1448 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1449 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1451 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1453 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1456 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1457 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1458 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1459 context with traps enabled.
1461 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1463 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1465 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1467 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1469 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1470 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1471 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1472 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1473 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1475 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1477 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1478 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1480 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1482 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1484 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1486 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1488 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1490 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1492 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1494 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1495 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1497 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1499 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1500 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1501 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1502 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1505 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1506 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1507 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1509 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1511 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1512 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1513 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1514 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1515 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1516 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1517 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1519 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1521 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1523 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1525 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1526 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1527 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1528 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1529 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1530 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1532 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1534 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1535 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1536 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1539 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1541 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1543 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1545 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1547 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1549 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1552 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1554 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1556 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1558 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1559 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1561 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1563 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1564 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1565 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1566 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1568 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1569 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1571 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1573 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1575 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1577 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1578 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1581 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1582 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1584 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1585 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1586 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1588 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1590 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1592 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1594 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1595 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1597 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1599 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1601 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1603 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1604 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1606 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1608 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1611 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1613 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1614 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1616 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1618 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1620 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1622 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1625 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1627 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1628 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1629 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1630 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1631 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1634 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1636 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1637 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1638 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1640 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1642 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1644 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1645 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1647 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1649 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1650 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1651 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1652 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1653 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1654 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1655 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1658 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1660 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1663 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1665 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1666 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1667 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1668 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1669 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1670 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1672 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1674 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1675 usefully so they will work from a script.
1677 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1679 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1680 neighborhood of the record code.
1682 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1684 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1685 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1686 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1687 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1689 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1691 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1692 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1693 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1695 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1697 Add support for readline function.
1698 * readline.scm: New module.
1699 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1700 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1701 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1703 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1704 repl-reader to use them.
1705 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1707 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1709 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1711 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,

1716 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1717 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1718 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1720 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1723 #f, abort terminates the process.
1724 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1725 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1727 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1730 print-state, throw it away.
1732 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1734 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1737 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1739 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1740 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1741 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1742 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1744 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1745 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1747 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1749 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1751 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1753 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1754 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1755 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1756 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1757 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1759 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

1767 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1770 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1771 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1773 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1774 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1777 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1779 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1781 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1783 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1785 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1786 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1787 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1788 field a separate argument.
1790 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1792 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1794 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1796 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1802 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1804 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1806 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1807 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1808 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1809 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1810 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1811 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1813 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1814 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1815 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1816 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1817 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1820 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1822 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1831 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1833 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1834 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1835 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1836 expansion inside the slib module.
1838 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1840 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1849 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1850 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1852 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1853 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1856 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1858 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1859 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1861 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1863 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1864 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1868 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1869 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1870 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1876 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1878 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1879 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1880 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1881 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1882 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1884 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1885 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1886 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1888 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1889 the syncase interface.
1891 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1893 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1894 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1895 workings of the current module system).
1897 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1899 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1900 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1909 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1911 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1912 according to the following priorities:
1913 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1914 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1916 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1917 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1918 (new-interpreter): New function.
1920 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1921 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1922 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1924 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1926 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1928 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1930 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1938 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1940 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1941 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1946 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1947 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1952 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1955 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1956 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1957 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1958 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1959 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1961 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1962 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1964 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1966 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1967 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1969 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1970 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1972 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1974 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1976 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1977 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1978 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1984 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1986 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1988 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

1996 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1998 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1999 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2000 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2002 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2003 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2006 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2007 order to narrow it correctly.
2008 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2015 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2017 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2019 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2021 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2022 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2024 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2026 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2027 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2028 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2030 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2032 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2035 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2037 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2062 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2063 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2064 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2065 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2066 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2067 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2069 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2070 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2071 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2072 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2074 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2076 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2077 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2078 sending in bug reports.
2079 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2080 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2081 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2082 display a warning if the two are different.
2083 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2084 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2085 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2091 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2093 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2094 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2096 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2097 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2098 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2099 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2100 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2101 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2104 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2105 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2108 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2109 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2111 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2114 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2117 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2119 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2122 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2124 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2125 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2127 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2129 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2130 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2131 to support printing of structures.
2132 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2133 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2134 commented out printing code.
2135 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2136 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

2145 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2146 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2147 during call to scm-style-repl.
2149 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2151 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2152 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2153 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2154 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2155 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2157 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2159 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2160 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2163 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2165 * regex.scm: New file.
2166 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2167 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2169 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2171 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2172 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2173 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2174 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2176 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2178 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2181 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2183 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2184 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2185 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2187 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2189 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2190 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2193 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2195 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2197 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2199 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2201 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2203 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2204 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2207 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2209 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2210 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2211 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2213 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2215 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2216 the Scheme code like code yet.
2217 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2219 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2221 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2222 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2223 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2225 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2227 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2229 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2232 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2234 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2236 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2238 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2240 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2241 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2242 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2244 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2246 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2247 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2248 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2250 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2252 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2253 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2255 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2257 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2260 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2262 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2264 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2266 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2267 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2269 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2271 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2272 instead of in libguile.
2273 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2274 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2276 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2278 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2280 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2281 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2283 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2285 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2286 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2288 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2290 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2291 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2292 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2293 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2295 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2297 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2298 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2300 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2302 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2304 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2306 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2307 keywords and symbols.
2309 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2313 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2314 Don't define read-sharp.
2316 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2317 (read-sharp): removed.
2318 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2319 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2321 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2325 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2326 primitive procedure.)
2328 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2329 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2331 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2333 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2335 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2337 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2339 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2341 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2343 * (exit): alias for quit.
2345 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2347 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2348 return the quit args.
2349 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2350 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2351 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2353 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2355 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2357 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2359 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2360 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2362 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2363 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2365 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2366 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2369 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2371 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2373 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2374 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2375 Change hooks to use these functions.
2377 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2378 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2379 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2381 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2382 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2383 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2384 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2385 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2386 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2387 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2390 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2391 and exit-frame exceptions.
2393 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2394 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2395 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2396 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2397 result; otherwise display "> ".
2398 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2400 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2401 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2402 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2403 repository version runnable.
2405 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2407 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2408 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2409 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2410 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2411 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2412 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2414 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2416 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2417 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2419 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2421 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2422 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2424 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2426 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2428 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2430 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2433 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2435 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2436 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2438 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2440 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2443 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2445 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2446 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2448 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2450 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2452 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2453 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2454 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2455 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2456 dynamic linking of modules.
2457 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2458 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2460 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2462 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2464 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2466 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2469 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2470 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2473 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2475 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2476 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2477 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2479 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2481 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2482 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2485 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2487 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2488 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2489 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2491 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2493 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2494 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2495 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2496 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2498 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2499 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2500 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2501 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2502 (such as the-scm-module).
2504 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2506 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2509 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2511 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2512 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2513 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2515 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2517 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2518 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2519 function, use it accordingly.
2521 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2523 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2524 function of no arguments.
2525 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2526 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2527 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2528 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2529 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2530 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2531 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2532 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2534 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2536 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2537 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2539 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2542 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2543 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2544 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2545 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2547 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2550 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2551 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2552 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2553 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2555 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2557 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2559 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2560 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2561 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2563 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2566 Added `before-read-hook'.
2568 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2570 (provide): New function.
2572 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2575 (backtrace): New function.
2577 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2578 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2579 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2580 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2581 is found in operator position in a frame.
2583 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2586 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2587 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2588 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2590 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2592 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2594 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2596 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2598 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2600 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2602 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2603 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2605 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2606 so they'll get distributed.
2608 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2609 should see as little clutter as possible.
2610 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2611 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2612 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2614 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2615 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2616 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2617 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2618 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2619 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2620 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2621 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2622 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2623 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2625 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2626 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2628 * test.scm: New file.
2630 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2631 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2632 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2634 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2635 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2637 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2639 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2640 call %load-announce.
2642 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2644 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2645 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2646 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2648 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2650 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2652 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2653 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2654 SCSH (which this isn't).
2656 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2658 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2660 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2662 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2663 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2664 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2666 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2667 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2668 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2669 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2672 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2674 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2676 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2678 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2679 error-catching-loop.
2680 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2681 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2682 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2684 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2685 error-catching-loop.
2687 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2689 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2690 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2691 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2692 should be '(), not #f.
2694 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2695 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2697 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2699 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2700 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2703 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2705 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2706 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2707 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2708 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2710 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2712 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2714 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2716 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2718 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2719 throw-handler-default.
2720 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2722 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2724 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2725 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2727 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2729 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2730 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2731 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2732 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2734 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2736 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2737 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2738 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2739 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2741 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2742 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2743 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2744 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2747 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2749 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2751 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2754 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2757 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2759 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2761 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2762 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2764 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2766 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2768 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2770 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2772 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2773 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2774 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2775 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2776 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2778 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2779 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2780 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2781 they seem redundant.
2782 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2783 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2784 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2785 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2786 directly files starting with "/").
2787 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2788 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2790 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2792 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2794 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2795 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2796 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2797 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2798 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2799 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2800 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2801 robust to just do it in the C code.
2803 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2805 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2806 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2807 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2808 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2809 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2811 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2813 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2814 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2815 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2817 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2819 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2820 system-error, not every kind of error.
2821 (scm-error): new procedure.
2823 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2825 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2827 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2829 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2830 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2831 of args are supplied.
2832 (%%system-errors): removed.
2833 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2834 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2835 %%handle-system-error.
2836 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2837 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2838 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2839 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2841 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2843 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2844 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2845 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2846 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2848 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2850 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2851 the empty list if they are #f.
2852 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2854 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2856 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2858 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2859 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2860 aborting, just the key and subr.
2861 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2862 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2863 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2865 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2867 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2868 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2869 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2870 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2871 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2873 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2875 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2876 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2877 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2878 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2880 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2882 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2883 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2884 initialize %load-path.
2886 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2887 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2889 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2891 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2892 Add the directory named after the version number.
2893 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2894 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2895 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2896 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2897 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2898 (install): Create the above directories.
2899 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2900 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2902 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2904 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2905 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2906 in the Makefile directly.
2907 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2909 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2911 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2912 here, where people expect to find them.
2914 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2916 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2917 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2919 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2921 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2923 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2924 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2926 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2928 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2929 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2931 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2932 weak-key-hash-table.
2934 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2936 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2937 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2938 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2939 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2940 (%open-file): removed.
2941 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2942 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2944 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2946 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2947 (manifest): Deleted.
2948 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2949 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2951 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2953 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2954 now that they throw errors directly.
2955 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2956 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2958 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2960 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2962 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2964 * The more things change...
