ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
   2
   3         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
   4
   5 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   6
   7         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
   8         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
   9         applied to the module itself.
  10
  11 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  12
  13         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
  14
  15         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
  16         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
  17
  18 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  19
  20         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
  21
  22 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  23
  24         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
  25
  26 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  27
  28         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
  29         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
  30
  31 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
  34         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
  35         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
  36         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
  37         among BINDINGS is referenced.
  38         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
  39         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
  40
  41 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  42
  43         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
  44         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
  45
  46 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
  49         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
  50         static libraries.
  51
  52 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  53
  54         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
  55
  56 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
  59
  60 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  61
  62         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
  63         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
  64         adapt to the new hooks.
  65
  66 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
  69         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
  70         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
  71         code.
  72         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
  73         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
  76         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
  77         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
  78         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
  79         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
  80         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
  81         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
  82         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
  83         first to register linked modules.
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
  86         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
  87         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
  88
  89         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
  90         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
  91         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
  92         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
  95         to use from C:
  96         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
  97         libguile/feature.c.
  98
  99         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 100         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 101         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 102
 103 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 104
 105         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 106         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 107         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 108
 109 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 110
 111         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 112         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 113         result of the last form.
 114
 115 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 118         syncase.scm.
 119
 120         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 121
 122         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 123         readline-set!: New options interface.
 124
 125         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 126
 127 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 130         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 131
 132 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 133
 134         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 135         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 136
 137 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 138
 139         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 140         interactive session.
 141         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 142
 143         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 144         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 145
 146 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 147
 148         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 149
 150 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 151
 152         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 153         read line was empty.
 154
 155 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 158         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 159
 160         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 161
 162         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 163         problem.  Duh.
 164         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 165         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 166         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 167
 168         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 169         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 170         into...
 171         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 172         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 173         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 174
 175         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 176         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 177         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 178         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 179         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 180         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 181         psyntax.ss.
 182         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 183
 184         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 185         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 186
 187 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 188
 189         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 190         and short vectors #h(...).
 191
 192 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 193
 194         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 195         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 196         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 197
 198 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 199
 200         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 201         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 202         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 203
 204 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 207         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 208
 209         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 210         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 211         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 212         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 213
 214 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 215
 216         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 217         trace flag.
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 220         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 221         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 222         context with traps enabled.
 223
 224 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 225
 226         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 227         module.
 228         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 229
 230 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 231
 232         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 233         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 234         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 235         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 236         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 237
 238 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 239
 240         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 241         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 242
 243 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 244
 245         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 246
 247 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 248
 249         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 250
 251 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 252
 253         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 254
 255 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 256
 257         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 258         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 259
 260 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 261
 262         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 263         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 264         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 265         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 266         Archibald.)
 267
 268         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 269         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 270         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 271
 272 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 273
 274         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 275         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 276         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 277         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 278         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 279         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 280         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 281
 282 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 285
 286 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 289         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 290         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 291         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 292         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 293         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 294
 295 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 296
 297         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 298         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 299         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 300         Steven G. Johnson.)
 301
 302 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 303
 304         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 305
 306 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 307
 308         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 309
 310 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 311
 312         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 313         be completed.
 314
 315 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 316
 317         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 318
 319 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 320
 321         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 322         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 323
 324 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 325
 326         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 327         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 328         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 329         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 330         transformer.
 331         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 332         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 333
 334 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 335
 336         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 337
 338 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 339
 340         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 341         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 342         completion.
 343
 344         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 345         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 346
 347         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 348         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 349         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 352
 353 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 354
 355         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 356
 357         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 358         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 359
 360 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 363
 364 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 365
 366         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 367         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 368
 369         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 370
 371         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 372         obsolete.
 373
 374 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 375
 376         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 377         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 378
 379 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 380
 381         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 382
 383 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 384
 385         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 386         Stachowiak.)
 387
 388 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 389
 390         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 391         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 392         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 393         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 394         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 395         threads.
 396
 397 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 398
 399         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 400         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 401         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 402
 403 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 404
 405         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 406
 407         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 408         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 409
 410 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 411
 412         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 413         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 414         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 415         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 416         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 417         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 418         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 419         to go here.
 420
 421 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 422
 423         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 424         is now a fluid.
 425
 426 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 427
 428         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 429         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 430         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 431         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 432         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 433         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 434
 435 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 438         usefully so they will work from a script.
 439
 440 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 441
 442         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 443         neighborhood of the record code.
 444
 445 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 446
 447         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 448         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 449         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 450         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 451
 452 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 453
 454         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 455         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 456         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 457
 458 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 459
 460         Add support for readline function.
 461         * readline.scm: New module.
 462         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 463         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 464         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 465         anything.
 466         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 467         repl-reader to use them.
 468         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 469
 470         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 471
 472 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 473
 474         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 475         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 476
 477 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 478
 479         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 480         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 481         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 482
 483 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 484
 485         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 486         #f, abort terminates the process.
 487         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 488         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 489
 490 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 491
 492         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 493         print-state, throw it away.
 494
 495 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 498         `0'.
 499
 500 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 501
 502         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 503         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 504         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 505         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 506         user field).
 507         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 508         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 509
 510 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 511
 512         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 513
 514 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 515
 516         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 517         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 518         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 519         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 520         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 521         boot-9.scm.
 522         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 523         distribution and installation.
 524         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 525
 526 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 527
 528         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 529
 530 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 531
 532         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 533         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 534         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 535
 536         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 537         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 538         symbol.
 539
 540 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 541
 542         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 545
 546 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 547
 548         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 549         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 550         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 551         field a separate argument.
 552
 553         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 554
 555 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 556
 557         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 558
 559         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 560         vicinity;
 561         Provide defmacro.
 562
 563 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 564
 565         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 566
 567 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 568
 569         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 570         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 571         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 572         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 573         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 574         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 575         registered.
 576         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 577         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 578         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 579         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 580         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 581         link a .so-file.
 582
 583 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 584
 585         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 586
 587 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 588
 589         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 590         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 591
 592 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 593
 594         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 595
 596         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 597         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 598         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 599         expansion inside the slib module.
 600
 601         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 602         constructors.
 603         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 604         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 605         (let): New core form.
 606         (if): Removed from core language.
 607         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 608         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 609         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 610
 611         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 612         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 613         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 614         source.
 615         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 616         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 617         been loaded.
 618
 619 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 620
 621         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 622         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 623         `use-syntax'.
 624         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 627         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 628         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 629         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 630         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 631         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 632         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 633         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 634         module.
 635         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 636
 637 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 638
 639         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 640
 641         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 642         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 643         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 644         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 645         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 648         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 649         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 650         syncase macros.
 651         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 652         the syncase interface.
 653
 654 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 655
 656         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 657         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 658         workings of the current module system).
 659
 660 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 661
 662         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 663         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 664         off!
 665
 666 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 667
 668         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 669         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 670         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 671
 672 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 673
 674         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 675         according to the following priorities:
 676         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 677         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 678         3. tcl bindings
 679         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 680         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 681         (new-interpreter): New function.
 682
 683         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 684         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 685         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 686
 687 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 694
 695 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 696
 697         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 698         procedures.
 699         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 700
 701 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 702
 703         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 704         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 705         source!
 706
 707 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 708
 709         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
 710         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
 711         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
 712         symbols matching regexp.
 713
 714         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 715         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 716         in stack-ref).
 717
 718         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 719         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 720         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 721         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 722         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 723         result protocol;
 724         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 725         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
 726
 727 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 732         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 733         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 734
 735         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 736
 737 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 738
 739         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 740         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 741         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 742
 743         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 744
 745         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 746         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

 755
 756         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
 757         cstime.
 758
 759 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 760
 761         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 762         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 763         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 764
 765         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 766         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 767         the top.
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 770         order to narrow it correctly.

 774
 775         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

 778 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 779
 780         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 781
 782 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 783
 784         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 785         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 786
 787 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 788
 789         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 790         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 791         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 792
 793 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 796         automatically.
 797
 798 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 799
 800         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 801         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 802         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 803         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 804         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 805
 806 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 807
 808         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 809         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 810         a default of /.
 811
 812         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 813
 814 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 815
 816         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 817         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 818         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 819
 820         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 821         make-regexp.
 822
 823 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 824
 825         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 826         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 827         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 828         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 829         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 830         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 831
 832         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 833         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 834         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 835         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 836
 837 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 838
 839         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 840         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 841         sending in bug reports.
 842         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 843         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 844         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 845         display a warning if the two are different.
 846         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 847         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 849
 850 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 851
 852         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 853
 854 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 855
 856         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 857         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 858
 859         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 860         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 861         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 862         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 863         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 864         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 865         that's okay.
 866
 867         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 868         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 869         regexp interface.
 870
 871         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 872         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 875         function names.
 876
 877         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 878         fixes.
 879
 880 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 881
 882         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 883         ../configure.in.
 884
 885 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 888         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 889
 890 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 891
 892         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 893         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 894         to support printing of structures.
 895         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 896         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 897         commented out printing code.
 898         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 899         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 900
 901 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 902
 903         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 904
 905 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 908         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 909         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 910         during call to scm-style-repl.
 911
 912 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 913
 914         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 915         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 916         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 917         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 918         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 919
 920 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 921
 922         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 923         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 924         (ice-9 regex).
 925
 926 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 927
 928         * regex.scm: New file.
 929         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 930         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 931
 932 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 933
 934         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

 936         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

 943
 944 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 945
 946         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 947         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 948         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 949
 950 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 951
 952         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 953         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 954         here.
 955
 956 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 957
 958         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

 962         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 963
 964 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 967         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 968         fixes this too.
 969
 970 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 971
 972         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 973         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 974         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 975
 976 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 977
 978         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 979         the Scheme code like code yet.
 980         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 981
 982 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 983
 984         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 985         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 986         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 987
 988 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 989
 990         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 991         use-modules macro
 992         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 993         can't be found.
 994
 995 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 996
 997         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 998
 999 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1000
1001         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1002
1003         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1004         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1005         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1006

1014         no plugins.
1015         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1016         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1024
1025         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1026

1028
1029         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1030         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1033
1034         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here

1038
1039 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1040
1041         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1042         procedures.
1043         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

1050
1051 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1053         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1054         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1055         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1056         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1057
1058 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1059
1060         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1061         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1062

1065         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

1069         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1070         keywords and symbols.
1071
1072 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1083

1086         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1087
1088         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1089         primitive procedure.)
1090
1091         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1092         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1093
1094 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1097
1098 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1099
1100         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1101
1102 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1103
1104         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1105         read gets EOF.
1106         * (exit): alias for quit.
1107
1108 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1109
1110         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1111         return the quit args.
1112         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1113         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1114         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1115
1116         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1117
1118 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1119
1120         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1121
1122         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1123         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1124
1125         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1126         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1127
1128         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1129         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1130         of handlers.
1131
1132 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133
1134         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1135
1136         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1137         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1138         Change hooks to use these functions.
1139
1140         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1141         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1142         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1143         the source! :-)
1144         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1145         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1146         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1147         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1148         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1149         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1150         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1151         traced.
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1154         and exit-frame exceptions.
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1157         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1158         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1159         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1160         result; otherwise display "> ".
1161         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1162
1163         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1164         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1165         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1166         repository version runnable.
1167
1168 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1171         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1172         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1173         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1174         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1175         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1176
1177 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1178
1179         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1180         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1181         and eval.
1182         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1183         "defined?".
1184         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1185         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1186
1187 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1188
1189         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1190
1191 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1194         %read-sharp layer.
1195
1196 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1199         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1200
1201 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1202
1203         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1204         backtrace.c.)
1205
1206 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1207
1208         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1209         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1210
1211 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1212
1213         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1216         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1217         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1218         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1219         dynamic linking of modules.
1220         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1221         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1222
1223 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1224
1225         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1226
1227 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1228
1229         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1230         that's what it is.
1231
1232         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1233         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1234         was false.
1235
1236 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1237
1238         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1239         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1240         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1241
1242 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1243
1244         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1245         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1246         yet.
1247
1248 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1249
1250         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1251         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1252         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1253
1254 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1255
1256         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1257         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1258         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1259         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1262         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1263         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1264         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1265         (such as the-scm-module).
1266
1267 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1268
1269         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1270         %search-load-path.
1271
1272 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1273
1274         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1275         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1276         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1277
1278 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1279
1280         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1281         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1282         function, use it accordingly.
1283
1284 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1285
1286         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1287         function of no arguments.
1288         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1289         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1290         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1291         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1292         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1293         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1294         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1295         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1296
1297 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1298
1299         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1300         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1301
1302 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1303
1304         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1305         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1306         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1307         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1308         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1309
1310         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1311         `*features*'.
1312
1313         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1314         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1315         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1316         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1317
1318         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1319
1320         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1321
1322         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1323         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1324         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1325
1326         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1327         error.
1328
1329         Added `before-read-hook'.
1330
1331         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1332
1333         (provide): New function.
1334
1335         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1336         in backtraces.
1337
1338         (backtrace): New function.
1339
1340         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1341         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1342         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1343         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1344         is found in operator position in a frame.
1345
1346         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1347         by default.
1348
1349         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1350         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1351         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1352
1353         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1354
1355         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1356
1357         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1358
1359         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1360
1361 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1362
1363         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1364
1365         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1366         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1367
1368         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1369         so they'll get distributed.
1370
1371         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1372         should see as little clutter as possible.
1373         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1374         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1375         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1376
1377         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1378         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1379         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1380         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1381         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1382         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1383         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1384         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1385         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1386         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1387         that are not.
1388         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1389         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1390
1391         * test.scm: New file.
1392
1393         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1394         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1395         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1396
1397         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1398         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1399
1400         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1401         work now.
1402         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1403         call %load-announce.
1404
1405 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1406
1407         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1408         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1409         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1410         components.
1411         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1412
1413 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1416         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1417         SCSH (which this isn't).
1418
1419 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1420
1421         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1422
1423 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1424
1425         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1426         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1427         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1428         these.
1429         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1430         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1431         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1432         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1433         save-stack.
1434
1435 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1436
1437         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1438
1439         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1440
1441         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1442         error-catching-loop.
1443         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1444         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1445         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1446
1447         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1448         error-catching-loop.
1449
1450 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1451
1452         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1453         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1454         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1455         should be '(), not #f.
1456
1457         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1458         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1459
1460 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1463         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1464         error-signal.
1465
1466 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1467
1468         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1469         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1470         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1471         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1472
1473 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1474
1475         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1476
1477 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1478
1479         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1480
1481         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1482         throw-handler-default.
1483         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1484         reported.
1485         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1486         acro.
1487         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1488         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1489
1490 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1491
1492         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1493         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1494         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1495         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1496
1497 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1498
1499         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1500         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1501         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1502         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1503         ...))
1504         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1505         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1506         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1507         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1508         file-is-directory?
1509
1510 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1511
1512         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1513
1514         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1515         distribution.
1516
1517         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1518         `switch-repl'.
1519
1520         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1521
1522 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1523
1524         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1525         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1526
1527 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1528
1529         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1530
1531         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1532
1533 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1536         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1537         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1538         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1539         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1540
1541         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1542         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1543         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1544         they seem redundant.
1545         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1546         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1547         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1548         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1549         directly files starting with "/").
1550         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1551         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1552
1553         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1554
1555 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1556
1557         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1558         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1559         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1560         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1561         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1562         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1563         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1564         robust to just do it in the C code.
1565
1566 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1567
1568         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1569         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1570         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1571         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1572         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1573
1574 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1575
1576         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1577         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1578         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1579
1580 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1581
1582         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1583         system-error, not every kind of error.
1584         (scm-error): new procedure.
1585
1586 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1587
1588         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1589
1590 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1591
1592         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1593         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1594         of args are supplied.
1595         (%%system-errors): removed.
1596         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1597         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1598         %%handle-system-error.
1599         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1600         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1601         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1602         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1603
1604 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1605
1606         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1607         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1608         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1609         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1610
1611 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1612
1613         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1614         the empty list if they are #f.
1615         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1616
1617 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1618
1619         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1620
1621         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1622         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1623         aborting, just the key and subr.
1624         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1625         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1626         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1627
1628 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1629
1630         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1631         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1632         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1633         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1634         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1635
1636 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1639         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1640         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1641         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1642
1643 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1644
1645         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1646         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1647         initialize %load-path.
1648
1649         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1650         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1651
1652 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1653
1654         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1655         Add the directory named after the version number.
1656         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1657         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1658         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1659         sitedatadir): New definitions.
1660         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

1664
1665 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1666
1667         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1668         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1669         in the Makefile directly.
1670         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1671         for these.
1672         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1673         aux_files.
1674         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1675         here, where people expect to find them.

1678
1679         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1680         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1681
1682         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1683
1684 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1685
1686         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1687         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
1688
1689 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1690
1691         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1692         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1693
1694         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1695         weak-key-hash-table.
1696
1697 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1698
1699         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1700         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

1703         (%open-file): removed.
1704         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1705         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1706
1707 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1708
1709         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1710         (manifest): Deleted.
1711         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1712         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1713
1714 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1715
1716         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1717         now that they throw errors directly.
1718         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1719         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1720
1721 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1722
1723         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1724
1725 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
1726
1727         * The more things change...
1728
1729
