310 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
311 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
312 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
313 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
314 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
315 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
316 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
318 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
320 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only

333 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
335 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
337 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
339 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
340 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
341 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm

363 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
364 and open-output-pipe.
366 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
368 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
369 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
370 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
371 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
372 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
373 Pirotte for the bug report).
374 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
375 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
377 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
379 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

400 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
401 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
403 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
404 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
405 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
406 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
407 actual documentation entries themselves.

475 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
476 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
477 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
478 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
480 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.

591 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
593 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
594 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
596 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
598 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
601 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
602 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
603 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
604 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
607 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
609 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
611 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
613 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
614 (write-all): Removed.
615 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
616 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
618 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
620 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
623 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
624 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
625 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
626 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
627 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
628 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
629 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
632 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
634 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
636 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
638 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
639 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
640 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
643 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
645 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
646 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
647 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
648 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
649 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
650 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
651 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
653 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
655 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
656 accept complex numbers as parameter.
658 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
660 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
661 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
663 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
665 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
666 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
667 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
668 instead of remove-if when iterating.
669 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
670 delete-if! when iterating.
672 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
674 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
676 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
678 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
680 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
682 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
683 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
684 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
685 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
687 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
689 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
690 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
692 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
694 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
695 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
696 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
697 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
699 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
701 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
702 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
704 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
706 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
707 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
709 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
711 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
714 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
716 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
717 source of the numerous very short changes.
719 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
721 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
724 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
727 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
729 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
732 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
734 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
735 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
737 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
739 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
742 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
744 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
745 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
746 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
748 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
750 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
751 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
752 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
753 Narazaki for this change.
755 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
757 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
758 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
761 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
762 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
764 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
766 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
767 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
769 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
771 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
772 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
773 use define-public to export from the module.
775 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
777 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
778 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
779 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
781 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
783 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
785 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
787 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
788 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
790 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
792 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
794 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
796 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
798 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
800 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
801 long_long uniform vectors.
803 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
805 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
806 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
808 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
810 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
811 script to create generated files like this one.
813 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
815 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
816 available before using getpw and getuid.
817 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
818 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
820 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
821 check for .guile, instead of stat.
822 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
824 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
825 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
826 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
828 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
829 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
831 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
833 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
835 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
838 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
839 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
841 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
843 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
845 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
846 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
847 ("position"): New command.
848 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
849 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
850 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
851 to return a valid state.)
852 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
854 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
856 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
857 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
860 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
862 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
863 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
865 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
867 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
869 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
871 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
872 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
874 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
875 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
876 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
878 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
881 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
883 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
884 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
886 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
888 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
890 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
891 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
892 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
893 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
895 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
898 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
899 both forward and backward views of the stack
900 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
901 Use selector `frame-number';
902 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
903 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
905 Use readline conditionally.
907 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
909 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
910 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
911 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
913 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
914 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
917 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
919 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
921 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
923 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
925 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
927 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
929 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
930 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
931 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
932 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
933 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
934 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
935 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
936 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
937 libguile-config-stamp.
938 * version.scm.in: Delete.
939 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
940 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
941 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
942 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
944 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
946 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
947 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
948 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
950 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
951 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
952 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
953 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
956 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
958 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
960 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
962 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
964 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
965 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
967 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
969 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
970 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
971 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
972 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
973 objects starting with '#/'.
975 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
977 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
978 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
979 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
980 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
981 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
982 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
984 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
985 module-modified): New procedures.
986 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
987 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
989 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
991 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
994 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
996 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
997 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
998 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1000 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1003 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1005 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1006 at multiple calls to read.
1007 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1008 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1009 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1010 continued-lines prompt.
1012 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1013 reading expressions.
1015 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1017 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1018 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1020 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1022 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1023 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1026 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1028 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1029 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1031 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1032 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1033 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1034 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1035 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1038 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1040 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1041 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1043 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1045 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1046 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1047 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1048 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1050 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1052 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1054 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1055 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1056 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1059 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1061 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1062 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1063 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1064 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1065 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1066 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1067 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1068 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1069 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1070 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1071 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1073 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1075 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1076 peeked from the stream.
1077 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1078 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1079 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1081 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1083 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1084 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1086 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1088 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1089 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1090 exiting repl with single control-D.
1092 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1094 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1095 error catching loop after quit received.
1096 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1098 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1099 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1100 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1102 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1103 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1105 * popen.scm: new file.
1107 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1109 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1110 (reverse-iota): removed.
1112 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1114 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1115 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1117 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1119 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1120 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1121 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1122 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1123 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1125 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1127 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1129 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1130 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1132 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1133 Guile's module system.
1135 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1137 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1138 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1139 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1140 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1141 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1142 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1144 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1145 '() when the condition is false.
1147 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1149 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1151 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1153 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1155 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1157 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1158 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1159 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1161 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1163 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1164 argument order for hash-fold.
1166 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1168 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1170 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1171 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1173 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1174 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1175 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1176 has been added to the load path).
1178 Use try-load-module.
1180 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1183 module between system and user state.
1185 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1187 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1189 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1192 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1194 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1195 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1196 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1198 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1200 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1201 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1202 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1203 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1204 stack frame encountered.
1206 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1207 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1208 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1209 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1212 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1213 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1214 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1215 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1218 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1219 define-module switches:
1221 (define-module (foo)
1224 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1227 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1228 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1229 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1230 module it is a system frame.
1232 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1233 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1234 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1235 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1236 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1238 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1239 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1240 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1241 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1242 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1243 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1245 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1246 status of a module.;
1247 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1248 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1250 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1251 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1252 closure to the module.
1254 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1256 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1258 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1260 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1262 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1264 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1266 Fix from Russ McManus:
1267 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1268 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1269 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1270 either an optional or required value.
1272 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1274 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1276 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1277 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1279 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1280 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1281 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1282 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1284 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1286 * optargs.scm: New file.
1287 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1288 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1290 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1292 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1293 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1294 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1296 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1298 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1299 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1302 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1304 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1306 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1308 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1309 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1310 applied to the module itself.
1312 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1314 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1316 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1317 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1319 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1321 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1323 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1325 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1327 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1329 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1330 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1332 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1334 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1335 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1336 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1337 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1338 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1339 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1340 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1342 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1344 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1345 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1347 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1349 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1350 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1353 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1355 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1357 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1359 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1361 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1363 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1364 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1365 adapt to the new hooks.
1367 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1369 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1370 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1371 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1373 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1374 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1376 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1377 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1378 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1379 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1380 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1381 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1382 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1383 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1384 first to register linked modules.
1386 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1387 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1388 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1390 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1391 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1392 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1393 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1395 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1397 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1400 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1401 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1402 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1404 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1406 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1407 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1408 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1410 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1412 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1413 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1414 result of the last form.
1416 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1418 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1421 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1423 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1424 readline-set!: New options interface.
1426 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1428 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1430 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1431 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1433 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1435 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1436 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1438 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1440 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1441 interactive session.
1442 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1444 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1445 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1447 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1449 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1451 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1453 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1454 read line was empty.
1456 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1458 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1459 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1461 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1463 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1465 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1466 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1467 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1469 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1470 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1472 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1473 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1474 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1476 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1477 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1478 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1479 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1480 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1481 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1483 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1485 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1486 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1488 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1490 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1491 and short vectors #h(...).
1493 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1495 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1496 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1497 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1499 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1501 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1502 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1503 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1505 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1507 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1508 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1510 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1511 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1512 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1513 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1515 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1517 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1520 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1521 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1522 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1523 context with traps enabled.
1525 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1527 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1529 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1531 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1533 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1534 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1535 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1536 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1537 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1539 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1541 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1542 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1544 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1546 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1548 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1550 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1552 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1554 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1556 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1558 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1559 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1561 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1563 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1564 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1565 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1566 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1569 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1570 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1571 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1573 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1575 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1576 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1577 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1578 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1579 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1580 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1581 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1583 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1585 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1587 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1589 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1590 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1591 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1592 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1593 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1594 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1596 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1598 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1599 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1600 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1603 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1605 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1607 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1609 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1611 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1613 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1616 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1618 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1620 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1622 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1623 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1625 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1627 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1628 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1629 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1630 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1632 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1633 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1635 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1637 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1639 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1641 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1642 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1645 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1646 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1648 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1649 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1650 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1652 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1654 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1656 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1658 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1659 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1661 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1663 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1665 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1667 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1668 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1670 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1672 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1675 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1677 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1678 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1680 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1682 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1684 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1686 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1689 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1691 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1692 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1693 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1694 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1695 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1698 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1700 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1701 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1702 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1704 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1706 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1708 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1709 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1711 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1713 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1714 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1715 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1716 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1717 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1718 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1719 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1722 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1724 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1727 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1729 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1730 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1731 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1732 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1733 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1734 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1736 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1738 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1739 usefully so they will work from a script.
1741 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1743 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1744 neighborhood of the record code.
1746 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1748 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1749 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1750 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1751 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1753 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1755 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1756 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1757 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1759 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1761 Add support for readline function.
1762 * readline.scm: New module.
1763 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1764 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1765 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1767 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1768 repl-reader to use them.
1769 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1771 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1773 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1775 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1776 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1778 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1780 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1781 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1782 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1784 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1786 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1787 #f, abort terminates the process.
1788 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1789 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1791 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1793 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1794 print-state, throw it away.
1796 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1798 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1801 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1803 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1804 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1805 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1806 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1808 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1809 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1811 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1813 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1815 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1817 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1818 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1819 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1820 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1821 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1823 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1824 distribution and installation.
1825 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1827 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1829 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1831 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1833 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1834 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1835 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1837 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1838 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1841 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1843 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1845 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1847 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1849 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1850 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1851 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1852 field a separate argument.
1854 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1856 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1858 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1860 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1864 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1866 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1868 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1870 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1871 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1872 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1873 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1874 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1875 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1877 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1878 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1879 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1880 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1881 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1884 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1886 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1890 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1891 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1893 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1895 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1897 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1898 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1899 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1900 expansion inside the slib module.
1902 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1904 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1905 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1910 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1912 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1913 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1914 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1916 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1917 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1920 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1922 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1923 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1925 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1927 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1928 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1929 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1930 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1932 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1933 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1934 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1940 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1942 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1943 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1944 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1945 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1946 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1948 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1949 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1950 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1952 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1953 the syncase interface.
1955 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1957 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1958 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1959 workings of the current module system).
1961 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1963 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1964 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1973 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1975 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1976 according to the following priorities:
1977 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1978 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1980 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1981 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1982 (new-interpreter): New function.
1984 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1985 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1986 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1988 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1990 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1992 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1994 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1998 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2000 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2002 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2004 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2005 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2008 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2010 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2011 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2012 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2013 symbols matching regexp.
2015 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2016 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2019 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2020 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2021 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2022 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2023 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2025 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2026 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2028 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2030 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

2062 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2063 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2064 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2066 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2067 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2070 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2071 order to narrow it correctly.
2072 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2081 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2083 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2085 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2086 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2088 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2090 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2091 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2092 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2094 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2107 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2109 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

2126 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2127 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2128 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2129 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2130 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2131 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2133 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2134 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2135 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2136 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2138 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2140 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2141 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2142 sending in bug reports.
2143 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2144 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2145 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2146 display a warning if the two are different.
2147 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2148 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2149 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2157 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2158 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2160 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2161 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2162 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2163 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2164 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2165 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2168 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2169 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2172 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2173 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2175 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2178 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2181 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2183 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2186 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2188 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2189 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2191 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2193 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2194 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2195 to support printing of structures.
2196 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2197 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2198 commented out printing code.
2199 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2200 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2202 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2204 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2206 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2208 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2209 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2210 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2211 during call to scm-style-repl.
2213 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2215 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2216 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2217 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2218 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2219 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2221 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2223 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2224 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2227 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2229 * regex.scm: New file.
2230 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2231 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2233 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2235 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2236 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2237 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2238 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2240 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2242 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2245 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2247 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2248 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2249 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2251 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2253 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2254 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2257 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2259 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2261 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2263 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2265 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2267 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2268 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2271 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2273 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2274 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2275 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2277 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2279 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2280 the Scheme code like code yet.
2281 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2283 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2285 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2286 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2287 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2289 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2291 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2293 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2296 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2298 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2300 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2302 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2304 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2305 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2306 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2308 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2310 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2311 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2312 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2314 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2316 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2317 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2319 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2321 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2324 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2326 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2328 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2330 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2331 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2333 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2335 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2336 instead of in libguile.
2337 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2338 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2340 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2342 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2344 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2345 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2347 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2349 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2350 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2352 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2354 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2355 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2356 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2357 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2359 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2361 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2362 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2364 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2366 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2368 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2370 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2371 keywords and symbols.
2373 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2375 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2377 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2378 Don't define read-sharp.
2380 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2381 (read-sharp): removed.
2382 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2383 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2385 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2387 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2389 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2390 primitive procedure.)
2392 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2393 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2395 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2397 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2399 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2401 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2403 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2405 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2407 * (exit): alias for quit.
2409 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2411 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2412 return the quit args.
2413 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2414 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2415 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2417 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2419 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2421 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2423 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2424 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2426 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2427 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2429 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2430 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2433 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2435 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2437 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2438 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2439 Change hooks to use these functions.
2441 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2442 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2443 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2445 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2446 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2447 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2448 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2449 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2450 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2451 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2454 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2455 and exit-frame exceptions.
2457 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2458 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2459 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2460 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2461 result; otherwise display "> ".
2462 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2464 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2465 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2466 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2467 repository version runnable.
2469 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2471 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2472 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2473 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2474 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2475 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2476 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2478 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2480 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2481 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2483 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2485 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2486 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2488 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2490 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2492 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2494 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2497 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2499 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2500 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2502 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2504 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2507 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2509 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2510 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2512 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2514 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2516 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2517 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2518 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2519 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2520 dynamic linking of modules.
2521 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2522 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2524 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2526 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2528 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2530 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2533 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2534 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2537 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2539 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2540 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2541 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2543 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2545 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2546 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2549 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2551 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2552 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2553 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2555 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2557 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2558 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2559 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2560 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2562 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2563 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2564 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2565 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2566 (such as the-scm-module).
2568 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2570 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2573 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2575 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2576 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2577 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2579 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2581 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2582 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2583 function, use it accordingly.
2585 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2587 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2588 function of no arguments.
2589 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2590 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2591 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2592 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2593 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2594 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2595 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2596 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2598 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2600 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2601 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2603 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2605 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2606 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2607 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2608 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2609 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2611 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2614 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2615 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2616 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2617 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2619 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2621 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2623 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2624 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2625 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2627 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2630 Added `before-read-hook'.
2632 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2634 (provide): New function.
2636 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2639 (backtrace): New function.
2641 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2642 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2643 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2644 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2645 is found in operator position in a frame.
2647 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2650 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2651 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2652 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2654 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2656 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2658 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2660 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2662 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2664 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2666 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2667 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2669 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2670 so they'll get distributed.
2672 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2673 should see as little clutter as possible.
2674 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2675 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2676 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2678 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2679 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2680 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2681 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2682 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2683 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2684 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2685 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2686 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2687 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2689 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2690 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2692 * test.scm: New file.
2694 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2695 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2696 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2698 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2699 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2701 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2703 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2704 call %load-announce.
2706 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2708 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2709 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2710 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2712 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2714 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2716 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2717 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2718 SCSH (which this isn't).
2720 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2722 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2724 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2726 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2727 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2728 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2730 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2731 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2732 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2733 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2736 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2738 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2740 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2742 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2743 error-catching-loop.
2744 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2745 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2746 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2748 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2749 error-catching-loop.
2751 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2753 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2754 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2755 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2756 should be '(), not #f.
2758 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2759 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2761 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2763 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2764 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2767 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2769 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2770 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2771 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2772 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2774 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2776 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2778 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2780 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2782 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2783 throw-handler-default.
2784 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2786 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2788 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2789 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2791 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2793 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2794 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2795 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2796 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2798 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2800 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2801 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2802 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2803 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2805 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2806 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2807 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2808 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2811 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2813 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2815 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2818 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2821 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2823 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2825 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2826 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2828 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2830 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2832 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2834 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2836 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2837 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2838 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2839 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2840 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2842 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2843 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2844 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2845 they seem redundant.
2846 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2847 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2848 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2849 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2850 directly files starting with "/").
2851 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2852 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2854 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2856 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2858 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2859 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2860 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2861 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2862 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2863 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2864 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2865 robust to just do it in the C code.
2867 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2869 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2870 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2871 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2872 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2873 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2875 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2877 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2878 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2879 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2881 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2883 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2884 system-error, not every kind of error.
2885 (scm-error): new procedure.
2887 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2889 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2891 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2893 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2894 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2895 of args are supplied.
2896 (%%system-errors): removed.
2897 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2898 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2899 %%handle-system-error.
2900 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2901 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2902 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2903 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2905 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2907 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2908 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2909 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2910 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2912 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2914 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2915 the empty list if they are #f.
2916 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2918 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2920 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2922 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2923 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2924 aborting, just the key and subr.
2925 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2926 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2927 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2929 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2931 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2932 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2933 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2934 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2935 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2937 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2939 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2940 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2941 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2942 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2944 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2946 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2947 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2948 initialize %load-path.
2950 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2951 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2953 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2955 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2956 Add the directory named after the version number.
2957 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2958 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2959 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2960 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2961 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2962 (install): Create the above directories.
2963 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2964 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2966 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2968 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2969 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2970 in the Makefile directly.
2971 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2973 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2975 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2976 here, where people expect to find them.
2978 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2980 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2981 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2983 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2985 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2987 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2988 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2990 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2992 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2993 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2995 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2996 weak-key-hash-table.
2998 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3000 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3001 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3002 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3003 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3004 (%open-file): removed.
3005 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3006 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3008 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3010 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3011 (manifest): Deleted.
3012 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3013 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3015 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3017 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3018 now that they throw errors directly.
3019 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3020 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3022 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3024 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3026 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3028 * The more things change...
