ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
   4         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
   5         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
   6         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
   7         scm-style-repl.
   8
   9 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  10
  11         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
  12         and open-output-pipe.
  13
  14 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  15
  16         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
  17         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
  18         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
  19         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
  20         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
  21         Pirotte for the bug report).
  22         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
  23         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
  24
  25 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  26
  27         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
  28         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
  29
  30 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

  33
  34 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  35
  36         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
  37         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
  38         patch.
  39
  40 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  41

  43         Jacques A. Vidrine.
  44
  45 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  46
  47         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
  48         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
  49         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
  50
  51         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
  52         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
  53         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
  54         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
  55         actual documentation entries themselves.
  56
  57 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  58
  59         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
  60
  61 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  62
  63         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
  64

  66
  67         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
  68         Convert first argument to a string.
  69
  70         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
  71         getter-and-setter-syntax,
  72         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
  73         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
  74
  75         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
  76
  77         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
  78
  79 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  80
  81         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
  82
  83 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
  86         `symbol-append'.
  87         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
  88         args.
  89         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
  90         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
  91         even worked...  /mdj.
  92         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
  93         `symbol->string'.
  94         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
  95         semantics.
  96
  97 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  98
  99         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 100         form set!.

 102 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 103
 104         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 105         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 106
 107 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 108
 109         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 120 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 121
 122         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 123         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 124         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 125         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 126         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 127
 128         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 129
 130 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 131
 132         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 133         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 134
 135         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 136         syntactic bindings.
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 139         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 140         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 141         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 142
 143         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 145         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 146         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 147
 148         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 149
 150         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 151         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 152
 153 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 154
 155         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 156         definition of module-type.
 157
 158         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 159
 160         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 161
 162         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 163         lines.
 164         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 165         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 166
 167 >>>>>>> 1.341
 168 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 169
 170         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 171
 172 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 173
 174         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 175         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 176         Mikael for the suggestion.
 177
 178 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 179
 180         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 181         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 182
 183 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 184
 185         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 186         for export args.
 187
 188 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 189
 190         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 191
 192 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 193
 194         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 195         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 196         for the hint.
 197
 198         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 199         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 200         tail recursive yet.
 201
 202 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 203
 204         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 205         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 206
 207         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 208         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 209         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 210         See NEWS.
 211         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 212
 213         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 214
 215 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 216
 217         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 218         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 219
 220 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 221
 222         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 223         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 224
 225 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 226
 227         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 228         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 229
 230 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 231
 232         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 233
 234         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 235
 236         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 237
 238 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 239
 240         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 241         '() instead of #f.
 242         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 243         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 244         `the-root-module'.
 245         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 246
 247         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 248         documentation.scm.
 249
 250         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 251         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 252         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 253         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 254         (help): Rewritten.
 255
 256         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 257
 258         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 259
 260 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 261
 262         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 263         (write-all): Removed.
 264         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 265         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 266
 267 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 268
 269         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 270         `proc-documentation'
 271
 272         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 273         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 274         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 275         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 276         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 277         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 278         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 279         getter...)
 280
 281 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 284

 286
 287         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 288         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 289         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 290         closure.
 291
 292 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 293
 294         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 295         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 296         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 297         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 298         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 299         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 300         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 301
 302 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 303
 304         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 305         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 306
 307 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 308
 309         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 310         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 311
 312 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 313
 314         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 315         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 316         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 317         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 318         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 319         delete-if! when iterating.
 320
 321 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 322
 323         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 324
 325 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 326
 327         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 328
 329 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 330
 331         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 332         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 333         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 334         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 335
 336 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 337
 338         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 339         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 340
 341 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 342
 343         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 344         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 345         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 346         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 347
 348 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 349
 350         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 351         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 352
 353 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 354
 355         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 356         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 357
 358 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 359
 360         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 361         Dirk Hermann!
 362
 363 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 364
 365         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 366         source of the numerous very short changes.
 367
 368 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 369
 370         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 371         public.
 372
 373         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 374         info pages.
 375
 376 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 377
 378         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 379         from slib docs.
 380
 381 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 382
 383         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 384         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 385
 386 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 387
 388         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 389         to string-append.
 390
 391 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 392
 393         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 394         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 395         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 396
 397 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 398
 399         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 400         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 401         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 402         Narazaki for this change.
 403
 404 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 405
 406         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 407         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 408         %S.
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 411         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 412
 413 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 414
 415         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 416         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 417
 418 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 419
 420         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 421         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 422         use define-public to export from the module.
 423
 424 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 425
 426         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 427         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 428         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 429
 430 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 431
 432         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 433
 434 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 435
 436         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 437         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 438
 439 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 440
 441         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 442
 443         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 444
 445         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 446
 447 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 448

 450         long_long uniform vectors.
 451
 452 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 453
 454         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 455         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 456
 457 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 458
 459         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 460         script to create generated files like this one.
 461
 462 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 463
 464         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 465         available before using getpw and getuid.
 466         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 467         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 468         check for stat.
 469         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 470         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 471         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 472         available.
 473         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 474         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 475         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 476
 477         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 478         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 479
 480         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 481
 482 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 483
 484         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 485         than 'exit-debugger.
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 488         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 489
 490         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 491

 493
 494         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";

 502
 503 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 504
 505         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 506         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 507         Badros.)
 508
 509 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 510
 511         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 512         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 513
 514 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 515
 516         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 529
 530 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 531
 532         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 533         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 534
 535         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 536
 537 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 538
 539         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 540         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 541         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 542         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 543
 544         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 545         argument.
 546
 547         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 548         both forward and backward views of the stack
 549         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 550         Use selector `frame-number';
 551         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 552         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 553         Use (ice-9 debug).
 554         Use readline conditionally.
 555
 556 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 557
 558         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 559         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 560         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 561
 562         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 563         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 564         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 565
 566 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 567
 568         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 569
 570         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 571
 572         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 573
 574         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 575
 576 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 577
 578         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 579         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 580         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 581         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 582         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 583         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 584         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 585         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 586         libguile-config-stamp.
 587         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 588         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 589         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 590         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 591         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 592
 593 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 594
 595         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 596         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 597         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 598
 599         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 600         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 601         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 602         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 603         readline.
 604
 605         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 606
 607 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 608
 609         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 610
 611 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 612
 613         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 614         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 615
 616 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 617
 618         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 619         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 620         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 621         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 622         objects starting with '#/'.
 623
 624 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 625
 626         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 627         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 628         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 629         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 630         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 631         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 632         `observer-id'.
 633         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 634         module-modified): New procedures.
 635         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 636         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 637
 638 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 639
 640         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 641         defines.
 642
 643 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 644
 645         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 646         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 647         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 650         position.
 651
 652 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 653
 654         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 655         at multiple calls to read.
 656         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 657         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 658         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 659         continued-lines prompt.
 660
 661         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 662         reading expressions.
 663
 664 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 665
 666         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 667         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 668
 669 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 670
 671         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 672         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 673         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 674
 675         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 676
 677         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 678         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 679
 680         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 681         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 682         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 683         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 684         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 685         instead of a port.
 686
 687 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 688
 689         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 690         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 691
 692         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 693
 694         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 695         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 696         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 697         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 698
 699         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 700
 701         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 702
 703         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 704         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 705         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 706         an alist.
 707
 708         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 709
 710         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 711         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 712         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 713         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 714         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 715         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 716         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 717         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 718         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 719         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 720         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 721
 722         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 723
 724         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 725         peeked from the stream.
 726         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 727         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 728         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 729
 730         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 733         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 734
 735         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 738         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 739         exiting repl with single control-D.
 740
 741         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 742
 743         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 744         error catching loop after quit received.
 745         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 748         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 749         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 750
 751         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 752         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 753         boot-9.scm.
 754         * popen.scm: new file.

 756 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 757
 758        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 759        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 760
 761 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 762
 763         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 764         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 765
 766 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 767
 768         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 769         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 770         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 771         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 772         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 773
 774 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 775
 776         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 777
 778         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 779         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 780
 781         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 782         Guile's module system.
 783
 784         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 785         changes:
 786         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 787         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 788         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 789         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 790         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 791         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 792         modern CL behavior.
 793         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 794         '() when the condition is false.
 795
 796 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 797
 798         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 799
 800 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 801
 802         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 803
 804 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 807         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 808         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 809
 810 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 811
 812         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 813         argument order for hash-fold.
 814
 815 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 816
 817         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 818         resolve-module.
 819         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 820         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 821
 822         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 823         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 824         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 825         has been added to the load path).
 826
 827         Use try-load-module.
 828
 829 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 830
 831         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 832         module between system and user state.
 833
 834 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 835
 836         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 837
 838         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 839         definition.
 840
 841 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 842
 843         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 844         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 845         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 846
 847 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 848
 849         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 850         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 851         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 852         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 853         stack frame encountered.
 854
 855         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 856         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 857         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 858         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 859         list).]
 860
 861         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 862         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 863         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 864         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 865         please tell me!]
 866
 867         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 868         define-module switches:
 869
 870         (define-module (foo)
 871           :no-backtrace)
 872
 873         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 874         modules.
 875
 876         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 877         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 878         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 879         module it is a system frame.
 880
 881         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 882         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 883         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 884         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 885         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 886
 887         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 888         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 889         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 890         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 891         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 892         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 893
 894         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 895         status of a module.;
 896         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 897         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 898
 899         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 900         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 901         closure to the module.
 902

 904
 905 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 908
 909 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 910
 911         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 912
 913 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 914
 915         Fix from Russ McManus:
 916         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 917         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 918         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 919         either an optional or required value.
 920
 921 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 922
 923         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 924
 925         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 926         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 927
 928         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 929         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 930         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 931         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 932
 933 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 934
 935         * optargs.scm: New file.
 936         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 937         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 938
 939 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 940
 941         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 942         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 943         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 944
 945 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 946
 947         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 948         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 949         for isn't loaded.
 950
 951 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 952
 953         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 954
 955 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 956
 957         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 958         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 959         applied to the module itself.
 960
 961 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 962
 963         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 964
 965         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 966         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 967
 968 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 969
 970         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

 974         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 975
 976 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 977
 978         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 979         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 980
 981 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 982
 983         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 984         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 985         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 986         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 987         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 988         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 989         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 990
 991 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 992
 993         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 994         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 995
 996 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 997
 998         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 999         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1000         static libraries.
1001
1002 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1003
1004         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1005
1006 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1007
1008         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1009
1010 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1011
1012         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1013         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1014         adapt to the new hooks.
1015
1016 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1017
1018         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1019         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1020         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1021         code.
1022         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1023         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1026         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1027         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1028         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1029         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1030         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1031         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1032         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1033         first to register linked modules.
1034
1035         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1036         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1037         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1038
1039         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1040         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1041         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1042         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1045         to use from C:
1046         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1047         libguile/feature.c.
1048
1049         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1050         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1051         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1052
1053 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1054
1055         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1056         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1057         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1058
1059 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1060
1061         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1062         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1063         result of the last form.
1064
1065 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1066
1067         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1068         syncase.scm.
1069
1070         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1071
1072         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1073         readline-set!: New options interface.
1074
1075         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1076
1077 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1080         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1081
1082 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1083
1084         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1085         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1086
1087 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1088
1089         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1090         interactive session.
1091         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1092
1093         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1094         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1095
1096 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1097
1098         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1099
1100 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1101
1102         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1103         read line was empty.
1104
1105 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1106
1107         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1108         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1109
1110         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1111
1112         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1113         problem.  Duh.
1114         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1115         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1116         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1117
1118         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1119         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1120         into...
1121         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1122         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1123         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1124
1125         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1126         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1127         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1128         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1129         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1130         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1131         psyntax.ss.
1132         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1133
1134         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1135         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1136
1137 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1138
1139         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1140         and short vectors #h(...).
1141
1142 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1143
1144         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1145         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1146         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1147
1148 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1149
1150         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1151         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1152         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1153
1154 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1157         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1158
1159         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1160         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1161         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1162         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1163
1164 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1167         trace flag.
1168
1169         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1170         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1171         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1172         context with traps enabled.
1173
1174 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1175
1176         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1177         module.
1178         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1179
1180 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1183         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1184         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1185         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1186         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1187
1188 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1189
1190         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1191         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1192
1193 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1194
1195         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1196
1197 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1198
1199         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1200
1201 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1202
1203         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1204
1205 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1206
1207         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1208         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1209
1210 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1211
1212         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1213         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1214         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1215         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1216         Archibald.)
1217
1218         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1219         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1220         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1221
1222 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1225         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1226         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1227         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1228         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1229         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1230         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1231
1232 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1233
1234         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1235
1236 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1237
1238         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1239         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1240         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1241         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1242         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1243         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1244
1245 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1246
1247         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1248         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1249         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1250         Steven G. Johnson.)
1251
1252 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1253
1254         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1255
1256 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1257
1258         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1259
1260 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1261
1262         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1263         be completed.
1264
1265 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1268
1269 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1272         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1273
1274 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1275
1276         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1277         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1278         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1279         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1280         transformer.
1281         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1282         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1283
1284 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1285
1286         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1287
1288 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1289
1290         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1291         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1292         completion.
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1295         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1296
1297         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1298         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1299         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1300
1301         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1302
1303 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1304
1305         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1306
1307         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1308         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1309
1310 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1313
1314 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1315
1316         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1317         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1318
1319         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1320
1321         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1322         obsolete.
1323
1324 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1325
1326         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1327         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1328
1329 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1330
1331         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1332
1333 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1334
1335         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1336         Stachowiak.)
1337
1338 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1339
1340         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1341         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1342         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1343         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1344         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1345         threads.
1346
1347 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1348
1349         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1350         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1351         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1352
1353 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1356
1357         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1358         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1359
1360 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1363         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1364         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1365         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1366         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1367         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1368         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1369         to go here.
1370
1371 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1372
1373         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1374         is now a fluid.
1375
1376 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1377
1378         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1379         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1380         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1381         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1382         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1383         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1384
1385 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1386
1387         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1388         usefully so they will work from a script.
1389
1390 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1393         neighborhood of the record code.
1394
1395 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1396
1397         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1398         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1399         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1400         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1401
1402 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1403
1404         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1405         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1406         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1407
1408 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1409
1410         Add support for readline function.
1411         * readline.scm: New module.
1412         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1413         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1414         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1415         anything.
1416         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1417         repl-reader to use them.
1418         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1419
1420         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1421
1422 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1423
1424         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1425         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1426
1427 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1428
1429         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1430         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1431         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1432
1433 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1434
1435         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1436         #f, abort terminates the process.
1437         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1438         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1439
1440 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1441
1442         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1443         print-state, throw it away.
1444
1445 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1446
1447         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1448         `0'.
1449
1450 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1451
1452         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1453         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1454         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1455         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1456         user field).
1457         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1458         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1459
1460 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1463
1464 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1465
1466         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1467         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1468         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1469         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1470         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in

1481
1482         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1483         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1484         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1485
1486         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1487         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global

1499         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1500         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1501         field a separate argument.
1502
1503         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.

1519         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1520         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1521         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1522         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1523         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1524         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1525         registered.
1526         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1527         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1528         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1529         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1530         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1543
1544         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1545
1546         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1547         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1548         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1549         expansion inside the slib module.
1550
1551         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1560
1561         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1562         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1563         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1564         source.
1565         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1566         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1567         been loaded.
1568
1569 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1583         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1584         module.
1585         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1586
1587 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1588
1589         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1590
1591         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1592         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1593         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1594         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1595         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

1597         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1598         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

1600         syncase macros.

1602         the syncase interface.

1605
1606         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1607         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1608         workings of the current module system).
1609
1610 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1611
1612         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

1623
1624         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1625         according to the following priorities:
1626         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1627         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1628         3. tcl bindings
1629         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1630         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1631         (new-interpreter): New function.
1632
1633         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1634         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1635         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1652
1653         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1654         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1655         source!
1656
1657 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1665         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1666         in stack-ref).
1667
1668         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1669         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1670         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1671         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1672         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1673         result protocol;

1688
1689         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1690         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1691         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1692
1693         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1710
1711         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1712         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1713         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1714
1715         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1716         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at

1738
1739         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1740         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1741         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

1776         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1777         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1778         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1779         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1780         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1781
1782         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1783         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1784         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1785         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

1788
1789         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1790         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1791         sending in bug reports.
1792         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1793         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1794         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1795         display a warning if the two are different.

1809         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1810         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1811         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1812         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1813         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1814         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1815         that's okay.
1816
1817         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1818         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1819         regexp interface.
1820
1821         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1822         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1823
1824         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1825         function names.
1826
1827         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1828         fixes.
1829
1830 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1831
1832         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1833         ../configure.in.
1834
1835 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1836
1837         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1838         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1839
1840 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1841
1842         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1843         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1844         to support printing of structures.
1845         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1846         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1847         commented out printing code.
1848         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1849         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1850
1851 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1852
1853         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1854
1855 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1856
1857         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1858         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1859         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1860         during call to scm-style-repl.
1861
1862 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1863
1864         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1865         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1866         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1867         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1868         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1869
1870 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1871
1872         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1873         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1874         (ice-9 regex).
1875
1876 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1877
1878         * regex.scm: New file.
1879         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1880         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1881
1882 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1883
1884         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1885         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1886         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

1890
1891         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1892         in 1997.
1893
1894 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1895
1896         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1897         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1898         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1899
1900 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1901
1902         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1903         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1904         here.
1905
1906 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1907
1908         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1909
1910 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1911
1912         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1913
1914 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1915
1916         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1917         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1918         fixes this too.
1919
1920 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1921
1922         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1923         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1924         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1925
1926 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1927
1928         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1929         the Scheme code like code yet.
1930         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1931
1932 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1933
1934         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1935         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1936         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1937
1938 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1939
1940         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1941         use-modules macro
1942         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1943         can't be found.
1944
1945 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1948
1949 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1950
1951         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1952
1953         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1954         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1955         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1956
1957 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1958
1959         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1960         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1961         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1962
1963         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1964         no plugins.
1965         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1966         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1967
1968 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1969
1970         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1971         functions.
1972

1974
1975         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1976
1977 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1978
1979         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1980         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1981
1982 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1983
1984         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1985         instead of in libguile.
1986         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1987         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1988
1989 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1990
1991         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1992         procedures.
1993         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1994         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1995
1996 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1997
1998         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1999         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2000
2001 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2002
2003         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2004         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2005         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2006         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2007
2008 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2011         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2012
2013 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2016
2017 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2020         keywords and symbols.
2021
2022 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2023
2024         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2025
2026         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2027         Don't define read-sharp.
2028
2029         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2030         (read-sharp): removed.
2031         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2032         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2033
2034 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2035
2036         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2037
2038         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2039         primitive procedure.)
2040
2041         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2042         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2043
2044 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2045
2046         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2047
2048 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2049
2050         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2051
2052 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2053
2054         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2055         read gets EOF.
2056         * (exit): alias for quit.
2057
2058 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2059
2060         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2061         return the quit args.
2062         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2063         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2064         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2065
2066         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2067
2068 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2071
2072         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2073         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2074
2075         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2076         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2077
2078         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2079         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2080         of handlers.
2081
2082 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2083
2084         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2085
2086         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2087         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2088         Change hooks to use these functions.
2089
2090         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2091         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2092         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2093         the source! :-)
2094         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2095         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2096         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2097         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2098         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2099         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2100         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2101         traced.
2102
2103         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2104         and exit-frame exceptions.
2105
2106         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2107         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2108         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2109         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2110         result; otherwise display "> ".
2111         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2112
2113         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2114         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2115         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2116         repository version runnable.
2117
2118 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2121         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2122         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2123         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2124         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2125         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2126
2127 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2128
2129         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2130         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2131         and eval.
2132         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2133         "defined?".
2134         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2135         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2136
2137 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2138
2139         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2140
2141 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2142
2143         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2144         %read-sharp layer.
2145
2146 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2149         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2150
2151 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2152
2153         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2154         backtrace.c.)

2156 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2157
2158         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2159         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2160
2161 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2162
2163         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2164
2165         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2166         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2167         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2168         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2169         dynamic linking of modules.
2170         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2171         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2172
2173 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2174
2175         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2176
2177 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2178
2179         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2180         that's what it is.
2181
2182         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2183         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2184         was false.
2185
2186 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2189         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2190         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2191
2192 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2195         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2196         yet.
2197
2198 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2199
2200         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2201         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2202         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2203
2204 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2207         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2208         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2209         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2210
2211         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2212         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2213         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2214         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2215         (such as the-scm-module).
2216
2217 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2218
2219         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2220         %search-load-path.
2221
2222 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2223
2224         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2225         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2226         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2227
2228 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2229
2230         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2231         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2232         function, use it accordingly.
2233
2234 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2235
2236         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2237         function of no arguments.
2238         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2239         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2240         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2241         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2242         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2243         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2244         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2245         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2246
2247 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2248
2249         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2250         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2251
2252 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2253
2254         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2255         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2256         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2257         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2258         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2259
2260         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2261         `*features*'.
2262
2263         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2264         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2265         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2266         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2267
2268         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2269
2270         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2271
2272         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2273         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2274         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2275
2276         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2277         error.
2278
2279         Added `before-read-hook'.
2280
2281         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2282
2283         (provide): New function.
2284
2285         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2286         in backtraces.
2287
2288         (backtrace): New function.
2289
2290         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2291         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2292         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2293         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2294         is found in operator position in a frame.
2295
2296         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2297         by default.
2298
2299         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2300         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2301         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2302
2303         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2304
2305         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2306
2307         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2308
2309         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2310
2311 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2312
2313         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2316         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2317
2318         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2319         so they'll get distributed.
2320
2321         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2322         should see as little clutter as possible.
2323         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2324         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2325         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2326
2327         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2328         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2329         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2330         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2331         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2332         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2333         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2334         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2335         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2336         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2337         that are not.
2338         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2339         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2340
2341         * test.scm: New file.
2342
2343         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2344         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2345         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2348         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2351         work now.
2352         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2353         call %load-announce.
2354
2355 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2356
2357         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2358         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2359         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2360         components.
2361         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2362
2363 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2366         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2367         SCSH (which this isn't).
2368
2369 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2370
2371         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2372
2373 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2374
2375         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2376         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2377         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2378         these.
2379         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2380         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2381         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2382         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2383         save-stack.
2384
2385 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2386
2387         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2388
2389         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2390
2391         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2392         error-catching-loop.
2393         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2394         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2395         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2396
2397         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2398         error-catching-loop.
2399
2400 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2401
2402         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2403         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2404         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2405         should be '(), not #f.
2406
2407         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2408         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2409
2410 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2411
2412         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2413         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2414         error-signal.
2415
2416 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2417
2418         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2419         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2420         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2421         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2422
2423 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2424
2425         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2426
2427 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2428
2429         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2430
2431         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2432         throw-handler-default.
2433         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2434         reported.
2435         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2436         acro.
2437         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2438         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2439
2440 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2441
2442         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2443         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2444         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2445         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2446
2447 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2448
2449         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2450         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2451         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2452         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2453         ...))
2454         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2455         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2456         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2457         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2458         file-is-directory?
2459
2460 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2461
2462         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2463
2464         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2465         distribution.
2466
2467         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2468         `switch-repl'.
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2471
2472 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2473
2474         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2475         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2476
2477 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2478
2479         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2480
2481         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2482
2483 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2486         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2487         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2488         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2489         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2490
2491         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2492         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2493         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2494         they seem redundant.
2495         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2496         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2497         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2498         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2499         directly files starting with "/").
2500         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2501         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2502
2503         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

2506
2507         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2508         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2509         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2510         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2511         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2512         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2513         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2514         robust to just do it in the C code.

2520         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2521         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2522         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

2544         of args are supplied.
2545         (%%system-errors): removed.
2546         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2547         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2548         %%handle-system-error.
2549         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2550         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2551         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2552         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.

2557         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2558         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and

2566
2567 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2568
2569         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.

2571         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2572         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when

2575         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2576         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

2579
2580         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2581         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2582         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2583         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2584         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2597         initialize %load-path.
2598
2599         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2600         "/", use one to separate it from the file.

2616
2617         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

2619         in the Makefile directly.
2620         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2621         for these.
