  56
  57 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  58
  59         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
  60         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
  61         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
  62         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
  63
  64 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  65
  66 *       * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
  67         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
  68

  70
  71         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
  76         keywords and symbols.
  77
  78 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  79

  83         Don't define read-sharp.
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
  86         (read-sharp): removed.
  87         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
  88         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
  89
  90 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
  93
  94         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by

  98         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

 101
 102         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 103
 104 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 105
 106         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 107
 108 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 109
 110         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 111         read gets EOF.
 112         * (exit): alias for quit.
 113
 114 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 115
 116         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 117         return the quit args.
 118         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 119         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 120         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 121
 122         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 123
 124 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 125
 126         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 127
 128         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 129         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 130
 131         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 132         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 133
 134         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 135         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 136         of handlers.
 137
 138 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 139
 140         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 141
 142         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 143         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 144         Change hooks to use these functions.
 145
 146 *       * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 147         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 148         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 149         the source! :-)
 150         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 151         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 152         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 153         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 154         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 155         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 156         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 157         traced.
 158
 159         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 160         and exit-frame exceptions.
 161
 162 *       * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 163         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 164         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 165         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 166         result; otherwise display "> ".
 167         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 168
 169         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 170         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 171         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 172         repository version runnable.
 173
 174 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 177         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 178         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 179         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 180         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 181         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 182
 183 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 184
 185         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 186         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 187         and eval.
 188         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 189         "defined?".
 190         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 191         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 192
 193 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 194
 195         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 196
 197 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 198
 199         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 200         %read-sharp layer.
 201
 202 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 203
 204         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 205         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 206
 207 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 208
 209         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 210         backtrace.c.)
 211
 212 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 213
 214         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 215         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 216
 217 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 218
 219         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 220
 221         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 222         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 223         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 224         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 225         dynamic linking of modules.
 226         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 227         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 228
 229 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 230
 231         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 232
 233 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 234
 235         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 236         that's what it is.
 237
 238         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 239         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 240         was false.
 241
 242 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 243
 244 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 245         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 246         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 247
 248 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 249
 250         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 251         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 252         yet.
 253
 254 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 255
 256         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 257         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 258         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 259
 260 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 261
 262         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 263         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 264         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 265         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 266
 267         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 268         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 269         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 270         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 271         (such as the-scm-module).
 272
 273 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 274
 275         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 276         %search-load-path.
 277
 278 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 279
 280         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 281         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 282         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 283
 284 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 285
 286         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 287         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 288         function, use it accordingly.
 289
 290 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 291
 292         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 293         function of no arguments.
 294         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 295         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 296         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 297         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 298         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 299         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 300         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 301         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 302
 303 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 304
 305         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 306         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 307
 308 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 311         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 312         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 313         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 314         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 315
 316         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 317         `*features*'.
 318
 319         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 320         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 321         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 322         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 323
 324         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 325
 326         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 327
 328         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 329         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 330         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 331
 332         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 333         error.
 334
 335         Added `before-read-hook'.
 336
 337         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 338
 339         (provide): New function.
 340
 341         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 342         in backtraces.
 343
 344         (backtrace): New function.
 345
 346         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 347         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 348         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 349         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 350         is found in operator position in a frame.
 351
 352         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 353         by default.
 354
 355         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 356         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 357         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 358
 359         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 360
 361         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 362
 363         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 364
 365         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 366
 367 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 368
 369         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 372         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 373
 374         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 375         so they'll get distributed.
 376
 377         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 378         should see as little clutter as possible.
 379         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 380         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 381         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 382
 383         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 384         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 385         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 386         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 387         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 388         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 389         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 390         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 391         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 392         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 393         that are not.
 394         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 395         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 396
 397         * test.scm: New file.
 398
 399         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 400         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 401         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 402
 403         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 404         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 405
 406         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 407         work now.
 408         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 409         call %load-announce.
 410
 411 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 412
 413         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 414         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 415         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 416         components.
 417         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 418
 419 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 420
 421         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 422         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 423         SCSH (which this isn't).
 424
 425 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 428
 429 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 432         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 433         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 434         these.
 435         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 436         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 437         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 438         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 439         save-stack.
 440
 441 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 442
 443         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 444
 445         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 446
 447         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 448         error-catching-loop.
 449         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 450         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 451         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 452
 453         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 454         error-catching-loop.
 455
 456 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 457
 458         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 459         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 460         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 461         should be '(), not #f.
 462
 463         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 464         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 465
 466 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 467
 468         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 469         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 470         error-signal.
 471
 472 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 473
 474         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 475         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 476         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 477         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 478
 479 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 480
 481         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 482
 483 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 484
 485         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 488         throw-handler-default.
 489         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 490         reported.
 491         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 492         acro.
 493         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 494         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
 495
 496 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 497
 498         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 499         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 500         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 501         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 502
 503 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 504
 505         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 506         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 507         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 508         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 509         ...))
 510         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 511         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 512         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 513         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 514         file-is-directory?
 515
 516 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 517
 518         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 519
 520         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 521         distribution.
 522
 523         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 524         `switch-repl'.
 525
 526         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 527
 528 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 529
 530         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 531         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 532
 533 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 534
 535         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 538
 539 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 540
 541         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 542         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 543         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 544         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 545         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 546
 547         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 548         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 549         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 550         they seem redundant.
 551         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 552         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 553         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 554         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 555         directly files starting with "/").
 556         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 557         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 558
 559         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 560
 561 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 562
 563         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 564         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 565         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 566         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 567         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 568         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 569         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 570         robust to just do it in the C code.
 571
 572 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 575         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 576         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 577         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 578         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 579
 580 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 583         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 584         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 585
 586 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 587
 588         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 589         system-error, not every kind of error.
 590         (scm-error): new procedure.
 591
 592 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 593
 594         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 595
 596 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 597
 598         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 599         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 600         of args are supplied.
 601         (%%system-errors): removed.
 602         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 603         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 604         %%handle-system-error.
 605         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 606         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 607         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 608         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 609
 610 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 611
 612         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 613         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 614         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 615         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 616
 617 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 620         the empty list if they are #f.
 621         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 622
 623 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 624
 625         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 626
 627         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 628         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 629         aborting, just the key and subr.
 630         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 631         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 632         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 633
 634 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 635
 636         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 637         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 638         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 639         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 640         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 641
 642 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 645         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 646         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 647         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 648
 649 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 650
 651         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 652         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 653         initialize %load-path.
 654
 655         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 656         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 657
 658 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 661         Add the directory named after the version number.
 662         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 663         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 664         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 665         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 666         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
 667         (install): Create the above directories.
 668         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
 669         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
 670
 671 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 672
 673         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 674         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 675         in the Makefile directly.
 676         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 677         for these.
 678         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 679         aux_files.
 680         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 681         here, where people expect to find them.
 682
 683 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 684
 685         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
 686         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
 687
 688         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
 689
 690 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 691
 692         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 693         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
 694
 695 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
 698         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.

 705         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
 706         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
 707         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
 708         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
 709         (%open-file): removed.
 710         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
 711         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
 712
 713 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

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