ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
   2
   3         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
   4         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
   5         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
   6         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
   7         Archibald.)
   8
   9         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
  10         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
  11         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
  12
  13 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  14
  15         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
  16         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
  17         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
  18         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
  19         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
  20         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
  21         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  22
  23 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  24
  25         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
  26
  27 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  28
  29         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
  30         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
  31         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
  32         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
  33         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
  34         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
  35
  36 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
  39         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
  40         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
  41         Steven G. Johnson.)
  42
  43 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  44
  45         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
  46
  47 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  48
  49         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
  50
  51 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  52
  53         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
  54         be completed.
  55
  56 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  57
  58         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
  59
  60 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  61
  62         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
  63         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
  64
  65 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  66
  67         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
  68         similar in use to `use-modules'.
  69         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
  70         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
  71         transformer.
  72         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
  73         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
  74
  75 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  76
  77         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
  78
  79 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  80
  81         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
  82         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
  83         completion.
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
  86         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
  87
  88         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
  89         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
  90         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
  93
  94 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  95
  96         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
  97
  98         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
  99         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 100
 101 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 102
 103         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 104
 105 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 106
 107         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 108         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 109
 110         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 111
 112         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 113         obsolete.
 114
 115 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 116
 117         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 118         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 119
 120 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 121
 122         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 123
 124 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 125
 126         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 127         Stachowiak.)
 128
 129 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 130
 131         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 132         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 133         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 134         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 135         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 136         threads.
 137
 138 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 139
 140         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 141         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 142         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 143
 144 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 145
 146         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 147
 148         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 149         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 150
 151 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 152
 153 *       * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 154         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 155         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 156         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 157         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 158         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 159         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 160         to go here.
 161
 162 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 163
 164         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 165         is now a fluid.
 166
 167 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 168
 169         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 170         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 171         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 172         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 173         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 174         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 175
 176 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 177
 178         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 179         usefully so they will work from a script.
 180
 181 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 182
 183         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 184         neighborhood of the record code.
 185
 186 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 187
 188         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 189         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 190         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 191         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 192
 193 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 194
 195         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 196         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 197         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 198
 199 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 200
 201         Add support for readline function.
 202         * readline.scm: New module.
 203         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 204         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 205         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 206         anything.
 207         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 208         repl-reader to use them.
 209         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 210
 211         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 212
 213 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 214
 215         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 216         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 217
 218 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 219
 220         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 221         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 222         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 223
 224 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 225
 226         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 227         #f, abort terminates the process.
 228         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 229         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 230
 231 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 232
 233         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 234         print-state, throw it away.
 235
 236 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 239         `0'.
 240
 241 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 244         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 245         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 246         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 247         user field).
 248         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 249         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 250
 251 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 252
 253         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 254
 255 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 256
 257         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 258         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 259         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 260         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 261         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 262         boot-9.scm.
 263         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 264         distribution and installation.
 265         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 266
 267 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 268
 269         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 270
 271 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 272
 273         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 274         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 275         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 276
 277         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 278         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 279         symbol.
 280
 281 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 284
 285         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 286
 287 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 288
 289         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 290         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 291         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 292         field a separate argument.
 293
 294         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 295
 296 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 297
 298         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 301         vicinity;
 302         Provide defmacro.
 303
 304 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 305
 306         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 307
 308 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 311         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 312         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 313         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 314         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 315         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 316         registered.
 317         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 318         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 319         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 320         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 321         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 322         link a .so-file.
 323
 324 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 325
 326         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 327
 328 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 329
 330         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 331         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 332
 333 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 334
 335 *       * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 336
 337         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 338         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 339         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 340         expansion inside the slib module.
 341
 342         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 343         constructors.
 344         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 345         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 346         (let): New core form.
 347         (if): Removed from core language.
 348         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 349         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 350         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 351
 352         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 353         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 354         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 355         source.
 356         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 357         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 358         been loaded.
 359
 360 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 361
 362         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 363         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 364         `use-syntax'.
 365         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 366
 367         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 368         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 369         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 370         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 371         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 372         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 373         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 374 *       (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 375         module.
 376         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 377
 378 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 379
 380         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 381
 382         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 383         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 384         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 385         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 386         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 387
 388         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 389         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 390         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 391         syncase macros.
 392         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 393         the syncase interface.
 394
 395 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 396
 397         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 398         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 399         workings of the current module system).
 400
 401 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 402
 403         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 404         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 405         off!
 406
 407 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 408
 409         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 410         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 411         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 412
 413 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 414
 415         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 416         according to the following priorities:
 417         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 418         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 419         3. tcl bindings
 420         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 421         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 422         (new-interpreter): New function.
 423
 424         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 425         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 426         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 427
 428 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 429

 433
 434         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
 435
 436 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 437
 438         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 439         procedures.
 440         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 441
 442 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 443
 444         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 445         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 446         source!
 447
 448 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 449
 450         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
 451         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

 453         symbols matching regexp.
 454
 455         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 456         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 457         in stack-ref).
 458
 459         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 460         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 461         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 462         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 463         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 464         result protocol;
 465         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 466         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
 467
 468 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 469
 470         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
 471         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 472
 473         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 474         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 475
 476         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 477
 478 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 479
 480         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 481         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 482         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 483
 484         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 485
 486 *       * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 487         psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
 488         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
 489
 490 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 491
 492 *       * session.scm: New file: Session support.
 493         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
 494
 495 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
 498         cstime.
 499
 500 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 501
 502         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 503         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 504         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 505
 506         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 507         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 508         the top.
 509
 510         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 511         order to narrow it correctly.
 512         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
 513
 514 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 515
 516         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
 517         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
 518
 519 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 520
 521         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 522
 523 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 524
 525         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 526         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 527
 528 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 529
 530         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 531         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 532         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 533
 534 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 535
 536         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 537         automatically.
 538
 539 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 540
 541         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 542         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 543         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 544         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 545         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 546
 547 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 548
 549         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 550         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 551         a default of /.
 552
 553         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 554
 555 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 556
 557         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 558         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 559         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 560
 561         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 562         make-regexp.
 563
 564 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 565
 566         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 567         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 568         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 569         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 570         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 571         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 572
 573         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 574         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 575         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 576         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 577
 578 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 579
 580         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 581         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 582         sending in bug reports.
 583         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 584         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 585         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 586         display a warning if the two are different.
 587         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 588         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 589         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 590
 591 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 592
 593         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 594
 595 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 596
 597         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 598         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 599
 600         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 601         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 602         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 603         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 604         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 605         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 606         that's okay.
 607
 608         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 609         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 610         regexp interface.
 611
 612         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 613         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 616         function names.
 617
 618         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 619         fixes.
 620
 621 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 622
 623         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 624         ../configure.in.
 625
 626 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 627
 628         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 629         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 630
 631 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 632
 633         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 634         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 635         to support printing of structures.
 636         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 637         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 638         commented out printing code.
 639         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 640         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 641
 642 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 643
 644         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 645
 646 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 647
 648         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 649         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 650         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 651         during call to scm-style-repl.
 652
 653 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 654
 655         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 656         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 657         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 658         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 659         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 660
 661 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 662
 663         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 664         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 665         (ice-9 regex).
 666
 667 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 668
 669         * regex.scm: New file.
 670         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 671         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 672
 673 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 674
 675         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 676         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 677         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 678         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 681
 682         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 683         in 1997.
 684
 685 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 686
 687         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 688         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 689         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 690
 691 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 694         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 695         here.
 696
 697 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 698
 699         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 700
 701 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 702
 703         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 704
 705 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 708         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 709         fixes this too.
 710
 711 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 712
 713         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 714         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 715         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 716
 717 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 718
 719         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 720         the Scheme code like code yet.
 721         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 722
 723 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 724
 725         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 726         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 727         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 728
 729 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 730
 731         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 732         use-modules macro
 733         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 734         can't be found.
 735
 736 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 737
 738         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 739
 740 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 741
 742         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 743
 744         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 745         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 746         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 747
 748 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 749
 750         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 751         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 752         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 753
 754         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 755         no plugins.
 756         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 757         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 758
 759 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 760
 761         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 762         functions.
 763
 764 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 765
 766         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 767
 768 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 769
 770         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 771         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 772
 773 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 774
 775         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 776         instead of in libguile.
 777         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 778         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 779
 780 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 781
 782         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 783         procedures.
 784         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 785         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 786
 787 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 788
 789         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 790         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 791
 792 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 793
 794         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 795         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 796         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 797         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 798
 799 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 800
 801         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 802         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 803
 804 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 807
 808 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 811         keywords and symbols.
 812
 813 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 814
 815         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 816
 817         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 818         Don't define read-sharp.
 819
 820         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 821         (read-sharp): removed.
 822         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 823         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 824
 825 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 826
 827         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 828
 829         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 830         primitive procedure.)
 831
 832         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 833         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
 834
 835 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 836
 837         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 838
 839 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 842
 843 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 844
 845         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 846         read gets EOF.
 847         * (exit): alias for quit.
 848
 849 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 850
 851         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 852         return the quit args.
 853         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 854         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 855         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 856
 857         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 858
 859 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 860
 861         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 862
 863         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 864         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 865
 866         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 867         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 868
 869         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 870         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 871         of handlers.
 872
 873 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 874
 875         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 876
 877         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 878         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 879         Change hooks to use these functions.
 880
 881         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 882         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 883         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 884         the source! :-)
 885         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 886         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 887         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 888         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 889         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 890         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 891         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 892         traced.
 893
 894         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 895         and exit-frame exceptions.
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 898         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 899         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 900         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 901         result; otherwise display "> ".
 902         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 903
 904         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 905         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 906         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 907         repository version runnable.
 908
 909 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 910
 911         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 912         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 913         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 914         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 915         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 916         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 917
 918 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 921         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 922         and eval.
 923         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 924         "defined?".
 925         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 926         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 927
 928 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 929
 930         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 931
 932 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 933
 934         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 935         %read-sharp layer.
 936
 937 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 940         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 941
 942 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 945         backtrace.c.)
 946
 947 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 950         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 951
 952 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 953
 954         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 955
 956         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 957         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 958         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 959         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 960         dynamic linking of modules.
 961         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 962         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 963
 964 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 967
 968 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 969
 970         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 971         that's what it is.
 972
 973         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 974         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 975         was false.
 976
 977 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 978
 979         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 980         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 981         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 982
 983 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 984
 985         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 986         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 987         yet.
 988
 989 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 992         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 993         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 994
 995 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 996
 997         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 998         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 999         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1000         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1001
1002         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1003         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1004         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1005         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1006         (such as the-scm-module).
1007
1008 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1009
1010         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1011         %search-load-path.
1012
1013 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1014
1015         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1016         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1017         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1018
1019 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1020
1021         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1022         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1023         function, use it accordingly.
1024
1025 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1026
1027         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1028         function of no arguments.
1029         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1030         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1031         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1032         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1033         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1034         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1035         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1036         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1037
1038 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1039
1040         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1041         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1042
1043 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1044
1045         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1046         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1047         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1048         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1049         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1050
1051         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1052         `*features*'.
1053
1054         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1055         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1056         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1057         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1058
1059         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1060
1061         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1062
1063         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1064         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1065         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1066
1067         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1068         error.
1069
1070         Added `before-read-hook'.
1071
1072         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1073
1074         (provide): New function.
1075
1076         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1077         in backtraces.
1078
1079         (backtrace): New function.
1080
1081         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1082         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1083         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1084         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1085         is found in operator position in a frame.
1086
1087         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1088         by default.
1089
1090         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1091         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1092         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1093
1094         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1095
1096         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1097
1098         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1099
1100         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1101
1102 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1103
1104         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1105
1106         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1107         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1108
1109         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1110         so they'll get distributed.
1111
1112         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1113         should see as little clutter as possible.
1114         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1115         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1116         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1117
1118         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1119         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1120         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1121         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1122         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1123         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1124         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1125         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1126         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1127         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1128         that are not.
1129         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1130         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1131
1132         * test.scm: New file.
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1135         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1136         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1137
1138         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1139         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1140
1141         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1142         work now.
1143         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1144         call %load-announce.
1145
1146 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1147
1148         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1149         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1150         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1151         components.
1152         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1153
1154 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1157         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1158         SCSH (which this isn't).
1159
1160 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1161
1162         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1163
1164 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1167         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1168         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1169         these.
1170         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1171         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1172         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1173         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1174         save-stack.
1175
1176 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1177
1178         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1179
1180         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1183         error-catching-loop.
1184         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1185         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1186         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1187
1188         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1189         error-catching-loop.
1190
1191 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1194         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1195         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1196         should be '(), not #f.
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1199         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1200
1201 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1202
1203         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1204         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1205         error-signal.
1206
1207 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1210         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1211         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1212         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1213
1214 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1217
1218 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1219
1220         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1221
1222         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1223         throw-handler-default.
1224         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1225         reported.
1226         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1227         acro.
1228         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1229         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1230
1231 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1232
1233         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1234         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1235         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1236         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1237
1238 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1239
1240         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1241         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1242         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1243         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1244         ...))
1245         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1246         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1247         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1248         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1249         file-is-directory?
1250
1251 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1252
1253         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1254
1255         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1256         distribution.
1257
1258         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1259         `switch-repl'.
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1262
1263 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1264
1265         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1266         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1267
1268 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1269
1270         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1271
1272         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1273
1274 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1275
1276         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1277         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1278         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1279         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1280         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1281
1282         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1283         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1284         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1285         they seem redundant.
1286         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1287         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1288         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1289         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1290         directly files starting with "/").
1291         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1292         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1293
1294         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1295
1296 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1297
1298         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1299         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1300         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1301         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1302         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1303         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1304         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1305         robust to just do it in the C code.
1306
1307 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1308
1309         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1310         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1311         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1312         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1313         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1314
1315 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1316
1317         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1318         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1319         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1320
1321 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1324         system-error, not every kind of error.
1325         (scm-error): new procedure.
1326
1327 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1330
1331 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1334         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1335         of args are supplied.
1336         (%%system-errors): removed.
1337         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1338         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1339         %%handle-system-error.
1340         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1341         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1342         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1343         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1344
1345 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1346
1347         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1348         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1349         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1350         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1351
1352 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1355         the empty list if they are #f.
1356         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1357
1358 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1359
1360         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1363         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1364         aborting, just the key and subr.
1365         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1366         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1367         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1368
1369 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1370
1371         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1372         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1373         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1374         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1375         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1376
1377 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1378
1379         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1380         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1381         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1382         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1383
1384 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1387         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1388         initialize %load-path.
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1391         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1392
1393 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1394
1395         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1396         Add the directory named after the version number.
1397         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1398         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1399         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1400         sitedatadir): New definitions.
1401         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
1402         (install): Create the above directories.
1403         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1404         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1405
1406 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1407
1408         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1409         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1410         in the Makefile directly.
1411         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1412         for these.
1413         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
