lang/elisp/ChangeLog

   1 2001-11-03  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   2
   3         * README (Resources): Fill in missing URLs.
   4
   5 2001-11-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   6
   7         * Makefile.am (elisp_sources): Added base.scm, example.el,
   8         interface.scm; removed emacs.scm.
   9
  10         * README: Updated accordingly.
  11
  12         * internals/load.scm (load): Avoid using `load-path' if the
  13         supplied file name begins with a slash.
  14
  15         * internals/fset.scm: Support export of defuns, defmacros and
  16         defvars to a module specified by the fluid `elisp-export-module'.
  17         This allows us to automate the importing of Elisp definitions into
  18         Scheme.
  19
  20         * example.el: New file: example code for `load-elisp-file'.
  21
  22         * interface.scm: New file - mechanisms to exchange definitions
  23         between Scheme and Elisp.
  24
  25         Following changes try to make the Elisp evaluation module less
  26         Emacs-dependent; in other words, so that it isn't necessary to try
  27         to load the whole Emacs environment before evaluating basic
  28         non-Emacs-specific Elisp code.
  29
  30         * variables.scm, internals/evaluation.scm: Changed (lang elisp
  31         emacs) to (lang elisp base).
  32
  33         * emacs.scm (lang): Removed.
  34
  35         * base.scm (lang): New file (non-emacs-specific replacement for
  36         emacs.scm).
  37
  38 2001-10-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  39
  40         * primitives/symprop.scm (symbol-name): New primitive.
  41
  42         * primitives/strings.scm (stringp): New primitive.
  43
  44         * primitives/pure.scm (purify-flag): New variable.
  45
  46         * primitives/numbers.scm (numberp): New primitive.
  47
  48         * internals/fset.scm (fset): Set procedure and macro name
  49         properties usefully to match Elisp symbol names.  Also bind Elisp
  50         function definition variables to similarly named symbols in the
  51         (lang elisp variables) module.
  52
  53         * transform.scm (transformer, m-unwind-protect): Added support for
  54         `unwind-protect'.
  55         (m-quasiquote): Use 'quasiquote rather than 'quote.
  56         (transform-lambda, m-defmacro): When no rest arguments, set the
  57         rest parameter to '() rather than #f.  It shouldn't make any
  58         difference, but it feels more right.
  59
  60         * README: Enlarged description of current status.
  61
  62         * Makefile.am (elisp_sources): Added variables.scm.
  63
  64         * variables.scm: New file.
  65
  66 2001-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  67
  68         * buffers.scm, calling.scm: Removed.  These should have
  69         disappeared during the reorganization described below, but I
  70         missed them by mistake.
  71
  72         * primitives/symprop.scm (set, boundp, symbol-value): Changed to
  73         use (module-xx the-elisp-module ...) rather than (local-xx ...).
  74         (symbolp): Accept either symbols or keywords.
  75         (set-default, default-boundp, default-value,
  76         local-variable-if-set-p): New.
  77
  78         * primitives/match.scm (string-match, match-data): Store last
  79         match data in Emacs rather than Guile form, to simplify
  80         implementation of ...
  81         (set-match-data, store-match-data): New.
  82
  83         * primitives/load.scm (autoload, current-load-list): New.  (But
  84         autoload is just stubbed, not properly implemented.)
  85
  86         * primitives/lists.scm (nth, listp, consp, nconc): New.
  87
  88         * primitives/fns.scm (byte-code-function-p, run-hooks): New.
  89
  90         * transform.scm (transform-application, transformer-macro): New
  91         scheme for transforming procedure arguments while leaving macro
  92         args untransformed.  (See also associated change in libguile.)
  93         (m-defconst): Simplified, now uses m-setq.
  94
  95         * Makefile.am: Changed so that it only deals with files directly
  96         in this directory; otherwise files don't install cleanly.
  97
  98         * internals/Makefile.am, primitives/Makefile.am,
  99         internals/.cvsignore, primitives/.cvsignore: New files.
 100
 101 2001-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 102
 103         * transform.scm (transformer): New handling for (1) quasiquoting
 104         syntax like "(` ...)" as well as the more normal "` ..."; (2)
 105         `function'; (3) interactive specification in lambda body.
 106         Simplied handling for `setq'.
 107         (transform-inside-qq): Fixed to handle improper as well as proper
 108         lists.
 109         (transform-lambda/interactive): New; wraps transform-lambda to
 110         handle setting of various procedure properties.
 111         (transform-lambda, m-defmacro): Changed `args' and `num-args' to
 112         `%--args' and `%--num-args' in the hope of avoiding lexical
 113         vs. dynamic name clashes.
 114         (m-and): Use #f instead of '() where a condition fails.
 115
 116         Plus big hierarchy reorganization, in which most of the previous
 117         occupants of lang/elisp moved to lang/elisp/primitives, with some
 118         internal processing being split out into lang/elisp/internals.
 119         The upshot looks like this:
 120
 121         * internals/trace.scm, internals/set.scm, internals/load.scm,
 122         internals/fset.scm, internals/signal.scm, internals/time.scm,
 123         internals/format.scm, internals/null.scm,
 124         internals/evaluation.scm, primitives/buffers.scm,
 125         primitives/features.scm, primitives/format.scm,
 126         primitives/time.scm, primitives/guile.scm, primitives/keymaps.scm,
 127         primitives/lists.scm, primitives/load.scm, primitives/match.scm,
 128         primitives/numbers.scm, primitives/pure.scm, primitives/read.scm,
 129         primitives/signal.scm, primitives/strings.scm,
 130         primitives/symprop.scm, primitives/system.scm, primitives/fns.scm:
 131         New files.
 132
 133         * features.scm, format.scm, fset.scm, guile.scm, keymaps.scm,
 134         lists.scm, load.scm, match.scm, numbers.scm, pure.scm, read.scm,
 135         signal.scm, strings.scm, symprop.scm, system.scm, time.scm,
 136         trace.scm: Removed files.
 137
 138 2001-10-23  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 139
 140         * match.scm (string-match): New implementation using new
 141         `make-emacs-regexp' primitive; old workaround implementation
 142         renamed to `string-match-workaround'.
 143
 144 2001-10-21  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 145
 146         * transform.scm (m-defun, m-defmacro, m-let, m-defvar,
 147         m-defconst): Use more selective tracing mechanism (provided by new
 148         file trace.scm).
 149
 150         * symprop.scm (get, boundp), transform.scm (transform-lambda,
 151         m-defmacro): Remove unnecessary uses of nil-ify and t-ify.
 152
 153         * match.scm (string-match): Workaround Guile/libc regex
 154         parenthesis bug.
 155
 156         * emacs.scm: Move elisp primitive definitions into more specific
 157         files, so that emacs.scm contains only overall code.
 158
 159         * Makefile.am: Added new files.
 160
 161         * numbers.scm, trace.scm, time.scm, pure.scm, system.scm,
 162         read.scm, calling.scm, guile.scm: New files.
 163
 164 2001-10-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 165
 166         * Makefile.am (elisp_sources): Added match.scm and strings.scm.
 167
 168         * match.scm, strings.scm: New files.
 169
 170 2001-10-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 171
 172         * transform.scm: Replace uses of `nil' by `#f' or `'()'.
 173
 174         * Makefile.am (elisp_sources): Added lists.scm.
 175
 176         * load.scm (the-elisp-module): Corrected (lang elisp emacs) module
 177         name.
 178
 179         * lists.scm (lang): New file containing list-related primitives.
 180
 181         * emacs.scm: Corrected module name.
 182
 183 2001-10-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 184
 185         Initial implementation of an Emacs Lisp translator, based on
 186         transformer code originally written by Mikael Djurfeldt.
 187
 188         * Makefile.am, .cvsignore: New.
 189
 190         * ChangeLog, README, buffers.scm, emacs.scm, features.scm,
 191         format.scm, fset.scm, keymaps.scm, load.scm, signal.scm,
