2002-03-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of 'apply'.  Removed
        side-effecting operations from conditions and macro calls.
        Replaced SCM_N?IMP by a more explicit predicate in some places.
        Minimized the scope of some variables.

2002-03-02  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * convert.i.c: Fixed int <-> long conversions which would have
        failed if their sizes were different.

2002-03-02  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Cleaned up the handling of 'if', 'let',

        as temporary variables.  Removed side-effecting operations from
        conditions and macro calls.  Introduced temporary variables with
        hopefully descriptive names for clarification.  Replaced SCM_N?IMP
        by a more explicit predicate in some places.  Removed code that
        was conditionally compiled if SICP was defined - which it never
        is.

        these, but I don't want to remove them yet, just in case.

        deval_args, since it is not part of the interface.

        (SCM_CEVAL):  Added (maybe somewhat verbose) comment.  Avoid to
        use references to debug.vect[0] before it exists.  Add parentheses
        to switch statement.

        (scm_deprecated_newcell, scm_deprecated_newcell2): New.
        (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2): Implement in terms of
        scm_deprecated_newcell and scm_deprecated_newcell2.

        gc.c (scm_tc16_allocated): Only define when including deprecated
        features.
        (scm_debug_newcell, scm_debug_newcell2): Removed.
        (scm_init_storage): Do not initialize scm_tc16_allocated.

        (allocated_mark): New, from old code.
        (scm_deprecated_newcell, scm_deprecated_newcell2): New.

        * inline.c, inline.h: New files.
        * Makefile.am: Added them in all the right places.

        * _scm.h: Include "libguile/inline.h".

        * alist.c, coop-threads.c, debug.c, environments.c, eval.c,
        fports.c, gh_data.c, goops.c, guardians.c, lang.c, list.c,
        num2float.i.c, numbers.c, pairs.c, ports.c, print.c, procs.c,
        smob.c, smob.h, strings.c, strports.c, struct.c, symbols.c,
        unif.c, variable.c, vectors.c, vports.c, weaks.c: Replaced
        SCM_NEWCELL and SCM_NEWCELL2 with scm_alloc_cell and
        scm_alloc_double_cell, respectively.

2001-11-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * modules.c (scm_c_use_module): Adapt to changes to
        `process-use-modules'.

2001-11-22  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_divide):  Fix more division by zero errors.

2001-11-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * Makefile.am (OMIT_DEPENDENCIES): removed, since it seems to be
        obsolete.  autogen.sh says:
        invalid unused variable name: `OMIT_DEPENDENCIES'

2001-11-22  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (scm_divide):  Fix (/ 0).  Thanks to Keith Wright for
        reporting the bug.

        Thanks to Eric Gillespie, Jr!

2001-11-21  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * win32-socket.c (getservent, setservent, endservent,
        getprotoent, setprotoent, endprotoent): New functions.
        Appropriate replacements for M$-Windows.

        * numbers.c (SIZE_MAX, PTRDIFF_MAX, PTRDIFF_MIN): Reintroduced
        these definitions for GUILE_DEBUG.

        * net_db.c: Include "win32-socket.h" if compiling with a native
        M$-Windows compiler.  Include some pieces of code (protoent and
        servent interface) protected by HAVE_* macros when using a
        native M$-Windows compiler.

2001-11-20  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * modules.c (scm_c_export): Do nothing when the first argument is
        already the terminating NULL.  Thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys!

2001-11-20  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

        * Makefile.am (libpath.h): In SCM_BUILD_INFO,
        also include `buildstamp'.

        (s_scm_major_version): use SCM_MAJOR_VERSION.
        (s_scm_minor_version): use SCM_MINOR_VERSION.
        (s_scm_micro_version): use SCM_MICRO_VERSION.
        (s_scm_version): use SCM_MAJOR_VERSION, SCM_MINOR_VERSION, and
        SCM_MICRO_VERSION.

        * version.h.in
        (SCM_MAJOR_VERSION): renamed from SCM_GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION.
        (SCM_MINOR_VERSION): renamed from SCM_GUILE_MINOR_VERSION.
        (SCM_MICRO_VERSION): renamed from SCM_GUILE_MICRO_VERSION.

2001-11-18  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * vectors.c (scm_vector_move_left_x, scm_vector_move_right_x):
        Rewrite docstrings without reference to substring-move-left/right,
        since the latter no longer exist.

2001-11-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c:  Removed bogus comment about acros.

        (scm_unmemocar):  Use !SCM_CONSP instead of SCM_IMP.
        Minimize scope of local variable.  Eliminate dependency on
        macro DEBUG_EXTENSIONS.

        (s_splicing):  New error message string.

        (scm_m_body):  Issue 'bad body' message rather than 'missing
        expression' message.

        (scm_m_quote):  Eliminate unnecessary copying.

        (scm_m_lambda, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_letrec, scm_m_let):  Leave the
        checking of the body to scm_m_body.

        (scm_m_do):  Move comment to function header.  Rename arg1 to
        binding.  Made the code a bit easier to read.

        (evalcar):  Removed.

        (iqq):  Added a comment.  Changed the depth parameter to
        unsigned.  Use size_t for vector lengths.  Make sure vector object
        is gc protected as long as its contents are read.  Add some syntax
        checks.  Get rid of unnecessary SCM_IMP test.  Clean up the
        control structure a bit.

        (scm_m_delay):  Added comment about the implementation of
        scm_m_delay.

        (scm_m_define):  Add comment about guile's currying define
        syntax.  Renamed 'proc' to 'name'.  Eliminate dependency on macro
        DEBUG_EXTENSIONS.  Simplified code a bit.  Eliminate SICP code.

        (scm_m_letrec1):  Removed.  Part of the functionality is taken
        over by the new function 'transform_bindings'.

        (transform_bindings):  New function.  Takes over some of the
        functionality of removed function 'scm_m_letrec1', namely to split
        a list of bindings into a reversed list of variables and a list of
        initializers.

        (scm_m_letrec):  Call 'transform_bindings'.

        (scm_m_let):  Minimized scope of local variables.  Renamed 'proc'
        to 'temp' and 'arg1' to 'binding'.  Eliminated redundant SCM_NIMP
        test.  Use 'transform_bindings'.  Fixed scoping error with named
        let (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer for reporting the bug and to Neil
        Jerram for suggesting the fix).  Cleaned up the control structure
        a bit.

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Use 'transform_bindings'.  Eliminated
        unnecessary consing.  Eliminated unnecessary
        SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.

        (SCM_CEVAL):  Un-obfuscated some loops.

2001-11-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * gc.h (scm_unhash_name): Old declaration removed.

        * eval.c (s_scm_eval): Change @var{primitive-eval} to
        @code{primitive-eval}.

        * feature.c, vectors.c, net_db.c, unif.c, weaks.c, struct.c,
        version.c, alist.c, ports.c, ramap.c, unif.c, strings.c, list.c:
        Change @deffnx lines in docstrings to say {Scheme Procedure}
        rather than primitive or procedure.

        * posix.c (scm_execl), filesys.c (scm_close), unif.c
        (scm_array_set_x, scm_array_contents, scm_uniform_array_read_x,
        scm_bit_set_star_x, scm_bit_invert_x), ramap.c (scm_array_fill_x,
        scm_array_for_each, scm_array_index_map_x), vectors.c (scm_vector,
        scm_make_vector, scm_vector_to_list, scm_vector_fill_x), strop.c
        (scm_string_split, scm_string_ci_to_symbol), strings.c
        (scm_string_p), sort.c (scm_merge), print.c (scm_newline),
        macros.c (scm_macro_type), alist.c (scm_acons, scm_assq):
        Docstring fixes and improvements reflecting edits that have been
        made in the reference manual source.

        * objprop.c (scm_object_properties, scm_set_object_properties_x,
        scm_object_property, scm_set_object_property_x): Remove invalid
        @deffnx lines for corresponding procedure property primitives.

        These changes add a @deffnx C function declaration and function
        index entries for each Guile primitive to the copy of the doc
        snarf output that is used for reference manual synchronization.
        Online help is unchanged.

        * snarf.h (SCM_SNARF_DOCS): Output primitive's C function name.
        (SCM_DEFINE, SCM_DEFINE1, SCM_REGISTER_PROC): Supply to C function
        name to SCM_SNARF_DOCS.

        * guile-snarf-docs-texi.in: Pass the shell script's arguments into
        snarf-check-and-output-texi.

        * Makefile.am (guile-procedures.texi): New rule.
        (BUILT_SOURCES, guile.texi, guile-procedures.txt, CLEANFILES):
        Changed so that the last stage of doc snarfing is now performed
        twice, once to produce guile-procedures.txt for online help, and
        once to produce guile.texi for reference manual synchronization.

2001-11-15  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (RETURN):  Wrap in do{}while(0) in order to make it
        safely usable as a single statement followed by a ';', for example
        in an if statement.

        (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY):  Clean up code using 'RETURN'.

2001-11-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * random.c (scm_random_solid_sphere_x,
        scm_random_hollow_sphere_x): Correct "shere" typos.

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fold): Add missing apostrophe to docstring.

        * version.c (scm_version): Update docstring to include
        `micro-version'.

2001-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * modules.c (scm_c_export): Call va_end after collecting the
        symbols.

        * strop.h, strop.c (scm_substring_move_left_x,
        scm_substring_move_right_x): Removed.

        * __scm.h (HAVE_UINTPTR_T, HAVE_PTRDIFF_T, HAVE_LONG_LONG,
        HAVE_LONG_LONGS): Define to "1" when defining them, to mirror what
        configure does.

2001-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * numbers.c: Document macros to define when including
        num2integral.i.c.  MAX_VALUE and MIN_VALU are no longer used, we
        now rely on SIZEOF_ macros that have been figured out at
        configure time.

        * num2integral.i.c: Adapt to new interface.
        (NUM2INTEGRAL): Test whether a fixnum can be represented in the
        target type by casting it and checking whether it is still the
        same.  Do not try to handle bignums for integral types that are
        smaller than fixnums.  When handling bignums, collect the
        magnituse first into a unsigned type, and correctly check for
        overflow.
        (INTEGRAL2BIG): Do not use MIN_VALUE explicitely by observing that
        only -MIN_VALUE can still be negative of all negative numbers (in
        twos-complement).

        * tags.h (SIZEOF_SCM_T_BITS): Define it appropriately.

        * __scm.h: Define HAVE_UINTPTR_T, HAVE_PTRDIFF_T and
        HAVE_LONG_LONG depending on whether their size is non-zero.

2001-11-11  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

        * strop.c (scm_string_null_p): Docfix; nfc.
        Thanks to Scott Lenser.

2001-11-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * extensions.c (scm_load_extension): Canonicalize docstring
        whitespace.

        * unif.c (scm_uniform_array_write), ports.c
        (scm_current_output_port, scm_force_output), dynwind.c
        (scm_dynamic_wind), scmsigs.c (scm_setitimer, scm_getitimer),
        filesys.c (scm_open, scm_lstat), struct.c
        (scm_make_struct_layout), random.c (scm_random,
        scm_random_solid_sphere_x, scm_random_hollow_sphere_x, strop.c
        (scm_i_index): Remove superfluous whitespace from end of docstring
        lines.

        * filesys.c (scm_select), guardians.c (scm_guardian_greedy_p),
        strings.c (scm_make_string), variable.c (scm_make_variable,
        scm_make_undefined_variable, scm_variable_p, scm_variable_set_x,
        scm_variable_bound_p), scmsigs.c (scm_setitimer, scm_getitimer),
        posix.c (scm_crypt), struct.c (scm_make_vtable_vtable), hashtab.c
        (scm_hash_fold), ports.c (scm_port_for_each): Remove superfluous
        newline at end of docstrings.

        * modules.c (scm_set_current_module): Add missing newline to
        docstring.

2001-11-07  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * win32-socket.[ch]: New files.  Defines Winsock-API error codes
        and makes them available through Guile.  That is because the
        Winsock-API does not store its errors in `errno' and thus cannot
        return error messages via `strerror (errno)'.

        * socket.c (scm_init_socket): Initialize `win32-socket' part
        here under M$-Windows.

        * numbers.h: Added missing declaration of
        `scm_sys_check_number_conversions()'.

        * error.c: Local definition of SCM_I_STRERROR and SCM_I_ERRNO
        and use in `(strerror)' and `(system-error)'.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): Added
        `win32-socket.[ch]' to extra source and header files.

2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * script.c (scm_shell_usage, scm_compile_shell_switches): Prepend
        a call to turn-on-debugging when --debug has been given instead of
        turning it on directly.  Also, handle new `--no-debug' option,
        which might suppress the call to turn-on-debugging.

2001-11-05  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * struct.c (s_scm_struct_vtable_p): Corrected docstring.

2001-11-04  Stefan Jahn  <stefan@lkcc.org>

        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_LIBADD): Added $(THREAD_LIBS_LOCAL)
        here (was at guile_LDADD) which describes the dependency
        correctly and allows a clean build on Win32.

        * __scm.h (SCM_API): Follow-up patch.  Renamed __FOO__ macros
        into FOO.

        * __scm.h: USE_DLL_IMPORT indicates the usage of the DLL
        import macros for external libraries (libcrypt, libqthreads,
        libreadline and libregex).

        * coop-defs.h: Include <winsock2.h> for `struct timeval'.

        * posix.c (flock): Added support for flock() in M$-Windows.

        * guile.c (SCM_IMPORT): Follow-up patch.  Use SCM_IMPORT instead
        of __SCM_IMPORT__.

        * fports.c (getflags): Differentiate reading and writing pipes
        descriptors.

        * filesys.c (S_IS*): Redefine all of the S_IS*() macros for
        M$-Windows.

        * coop.c (coop_condition_variable_timed_wait_mutex): Use
        conditionalized error code if `ETIMEDOUT' is not available.
        (scm_thread_usleep): Remove bogus declaration of `struct timeval
        timeout'.

        * numbers.c (PTRDIFF_MIN): Moved this definition where it actually
        belongs.  That is because NO_PREPRO_MAGIC gets undefined after
        each inclusion of `num2integral.i.c'.
        (SIZE_MAX): Define NO_PREPRO_MAGIC if SIZE_MAX is undefined.

2001-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_m_begin): Allow `(begin)`, with no subforms.
        (SCM_CEVAL): Evaluate an empty `begin' to SCM_UNSPECIFIED.

2001-11-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * print.c (scm_iprin1): Mark print state as revealed when
        dispatching to generic write or display.

        * unif.c (scm_ra2contig): Fixed memory overwrite bug.

2001-11-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        Support for native Win32.  Thanks to Stefan Jahn!

        * Makefile.am: Add win32-uname.c, win32-uname.h, win32-dirent.c
        and win32-dirent.h to extra source and header files.  These
        include the uname() and the POSIX dirent interface implementation
        for M$-Windows.  Put `-no-undefined' into LDFLAGS to support
        linkers which do not allow unresolved symbols inside shared
        libraries.  Corrected `guile_filter_doc_snarfage$(EXEEXT)'
        dependency.

        * __scm.h: Defined SCM_API.  This macro gets prepended to all
        function and data definitions which should be exported or imported
        in the resulting dynamic link library in the Win32 port.

        * __scm.h, alist.h, arbiters.h, async.h, backtrace.h, boolean.h,
        chars.h, continuations.h, coop-defs.h, coop-threads.h,
        debug-malloc.h, debug.h, deprecation.h, dynl.h, dynwind.h,
        environments.h, eq.h, error.h, eval.h, evalext.h, extensions.h,
        feature.h, filesys.h, fluids.h, fports.h, gc.h, gdb_interface.h,
        gdbint.h, gh.h, goops.h, gsubr.h, guardians.h, hash.h, hashtab.h,
        hooks.h, init.h, ioext.h, iselect.h, keywords.h, lang.h, list.h,
        load.h, macros.h, mallocs.h, modules.h, net_db.h, numbers.h,

        procprop.h, procs.h, properties.h, ramap.h, random.h, rdelim.h,
        read.h, regex-posix.h, root.h, rw.h, scmsigs.h, script.h, simpos.h,
        smob.h, socket.h, sort.h, srcprop.h, stackchk.h, stacks.h, stime.h,
        strings.h, strop.h, strorder.h, strports.h, struct.h, symbols.h,
        tags.h, threads.h, throw.h, unif.h, values.h, variable.h, vectors.h,
        vports.h, weaks.h:
        Prefixed each each exported symbol with SCM_API.

        * continuations.c: Added comment about the use of the extern
        declarations of {get,set}context() functions used in the ia64 port.

        * continuations.h, gc.c: `__libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base'
        is meant to be a `unsigned long *'.

        * filesys.c: Include `direct.h' if possible.  Use local
        `win32-dirent.h' for the native M$-Windows port.  Define S_IS*()
        macros for M$-Windows.  Implementation of `fstat_Win32()' which is
        able to differentiate between sockets and other file descriptors.
        Use this function as wrapper in `scm_fstat()'.  Fixed typo in
        `scm_dirname()'.

        * fports.c: Include `io.h' is possible.  Put `*fp' into referring
        statement block in `scm_fport_buffer_add()'.
        Some corrections in `getflags()'.

        * gdb_interface.h (GDB_INTERFACE): Also support __CYGWIN__.

        * guile.c: Make sure to define __SCM_IMPORT__ for shared library
        build on Win32.  Disable preloaded symbols on Win2 platforms.

        * ioext.c, ports.c: Include `io.h' is possible.

        * mkstemp.c: Include `process.h' is possible.

        * net_db.c: Disable extern declaration of `h_errno' for __CYGWIN__,
        too.
        Put `scm_return_entry()' into HAVE_GETSERVENT conditional.

        * posix.c: Remove unnecessary dirent includes and defines. Include
        local `win32-uname.h' for MinGW.  Extern declaration of
        `mkstemp()' for systems where it does not exists.  Make
        `getlogin()' available on M$-Windows.

        * scmsigs.c: Made `usleep()' avalable on MinGW.

        * stime.c: On M$-Windows `tzname[]' is known to be `_tzname[]'.

        * win32-dirent.c: Include "win32-dirent.h", not "dirent.h".

        * win32-uname.c: Include "win32-uname.h", not "uname.h".

2001-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * unif.c (scm_uniform_array_read_x, scm_uniform_array_write):
        Don't apply scm_uniform_vector_length on arrays.

2001-10-14  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eval.c (scm_lookupcar, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_do, iqq,
        scm_m_define, scm_m_letrec1, scm_m_let, scm_m_expand_body,
        scm_macroexp, unmemocopy, scm_eval_args, scm_deval_args,
        SCM_CEVAL, scm_map, scm_init_eval):  When building lists, prefer
        scm_list_<n> over scm_cons[2]?.

        (scm_unmemocar, scm_m_cond, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_letrec1,
        scm_m_let, scm_m_atbind, unmemocopy, SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY):  Use
        SCM_C[AD][AD]R instead of explicit form.

        (scm_m_set_x, scm_m_cond, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_do):  Reordered
        comparison parameters.

        (scm_m_case, scm_m_cond, scm_m_letstar, scm_m_do, SCM_CEVAL):  Use
        !SCM_NULLP instead of SCM_NIMP.

        (scm_m_case):  Don't copy the form.  Renamed proc to clause and
        minimized its scope.  Renamed x to clauses.  Removed side
        effecting operation from macro call.

        (scm_m_cond):  Don't copy the form.  Renamed arg1 to clause and
        minimized its scope.  Renamed x to clauses.  Minimized the scope
        of variable 'len'.  Make sure the else clause is treated specially
        even in case of '=>' occurences.  Don't change the else to #t in
        order to be able to distinguish this case in the evaluator.  Leave
        type checking of the recipient to the evaluator.

        (scm_c_improper_memq):  Made the comment somewhat clearer.

        (scm_m_lambda):  Renamed proc to formals.  Removed unnecessary
        test for SCM_IM_LET at the place of the formal parameters.
        Simplified the formal parameter checking.

        (scm_m_letstar):  Added Comment.  Renamed proc to bindings.
        Renamed arg1 to binding and minimized its scope.  Eliminated
        unnecessary consing.

        (scm_m_do):  Renamed proc to bindings.  Minimized the scope of
        variable 'len'.

        (build_binding_list):  New static function.

        (unmemocopy):  Don't use SCM_TYP7 on pairs (it's unclean).
        Further, split up the 'letrec' unmemoizing code to the
        corresponding parts for 'do', 'let' and 'letrec', adding comments
        to each form.  Cleanup the handling of the do form (This removes
        some *real* code :-).

        (SCM_CEVAL):  Removed side effecting operation from macro call.
        Handle the 'else clause of the 'cond form specially - the symbol
        'else is not replaced with #t any more.

2001-10-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * version.c (scm_version): use sprintf instead of snprintf,
        for portability.  thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.

2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): When user-defined hash procedure returns
        SCM_UNSPECIFIED: Fall back to standard handling instead of raising
        an exception.  (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
        interfering with parsing of numbers.)

2001-10-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * numbers.c: Set NO_PREPRO_MAGIC when defining our version of
        PTRDIFF_MIN.  Thanks to Ken Raeburn.

2001-10-07  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): Added "mkstemp.c".

        * eval.c (scm_m_atbind): First try to find the variable without
        defining it locally; when it has not been found, define it
        locally.

        * modules.c (module_variable): Pass over variables that exist but
        are unbound.

2001-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * backtrace.c (display_backtrace_file_and_line): Only use
        scm_basename when POSIX support is compiled in.  Thanks to Chris
        Cramer.

2001-10-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (mem2uinteger):  Return number read so far when coming
        across a hexdigit after having read a # or if not reading a hex
        value.  This will enable the calling code to correctly handle
        forms like 1e2.  (The background is, that the exponent markers d,
        e and f are also hexdigits.)  Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for
        providing this patch.

        (mem2complex):  Fix erroneous double-negation.  Now, numbers like
        1-i will be read correctly.

2001-10-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * debug.c (scm_mem_to_proc): Fixed typo in previous change.

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_DOUBLE_DEF_COPY): New macro.

2001-10-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_state_vtable, print_state_pool):
        Initialize.  These variables are now registered as gc roots.

        (scm_current_pstate):  Update documentation.

        (scm_current_pstate, scm_make_print_state, scm_free_print_state,
        scm_prin1, scm_init_print):  print_state_pool is registered as a
        gc root and thus does not need to be protected by a surrounding
        pair any more.

        (make_print_state):  The car of print_state_pool no longer holds
        the scm_print_state_vtable.

        (scm_current_pstate, scm_make_print_state, print_circref,
        scm_iprin1, scm_prin1, scm_iprlist):  Prefer !SCM_<foo> over
        SCM_N<foo>.

        (scm_prin1):  When building lists, prefer scm_list_<n> over
        scm_cons[2]?.

        (scm_iprlist):  Removed a redundant SCM_IMP test.

        (scm_simple_format):  Use SCM_EQ_P to compare SCM values.

2001-10-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * debug.c (scm_make_iloc):  Prefer !SCM_<foo> over SCM_N<foo>.

        (scm_memcons, scm_mem_to_proc):  When building lists, prefer
        scm_list_<n> over scm_cons[2]?.

        (scm_mem_to_proc):  Prefer SCM_CONSP over SCM_NIMP.

        (scm_procedure_name):  Use SCM_CADR instead of explicit form.

        (debugobj_print):  Coerce scm_intprint arg 1 to long, not int.
        Thanks to Rob Browning for the patch (see log entry 2001-09-21) -
        for some reason his patch didn't make it into the cvs.

2001-10-09  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.c (mem2decimal_from_point):  Cleaned up the parsing a
        little bit - should even be somewhat more accurate now.

2001-10-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * gc.c: support ia64 register backing store.
        (SCM_MARK_BACKING_STORE): new macro.

        * continuations.h: support ia64 register backing store.
        (struct scm_t_contregs): add ia64 register backing store.

        * continuations.c: support ia64 register backing store.
        (continuation_mark): mark ia64 register backing store.
        (continuation_free): free ia64 register backing store.
        (scm_make_continuation): capture ia64 register backing store.
        (copy_stack_and_call): copy ia64 register backing store.

2001-10-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_create_handle_x):  The result of assoc_fn
        is known to be #f if no entry is found.  Thus, use !SCM_FALSEP
        instead of SCM_NIMP to test for that case.

        * strings.h (SCM_SET_STRING_LENGTH):  Cast the length to
        scm_t_bits instead of long.

2001-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * tags.h (SCM_T_BITS_MAX, SCM_T_SIGNED_BITS_MAX,
        SCM_T_SIGNED_BITS_MIN): New.
        * numbers.h (SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):
        Use them to make these macros computable by the preprocessor.

        * num2integral.i.c (INTEGRAL2NUM): Let the preprocessor test
        whether the integral type fits in a fixnum, not the compiler.
        This removes a spurious compiler warning.  Also, honor the
        NO_PREPRO_MAGIC flag to suppress any preprocessor tests.  This is
        needed for `long long's.

        * numbers.c: Define NO_PREPRO_MAGOC when including
        num2integral.c.i for `long long' and `signed long long'.

2001-10-06  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        These changes fixes a race condition in the Guile coop - pthread
        compatibility code.

        * coop.c (mother_awake_p): New variable.
        (coop_create): Set mother_awake_p before creating or signalling
        mother; wait until mother is going to sleep before returning.
        (mother): Reset mother_awake_p before going to sleep.

2001-10-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * options.c (protected_objects, scm_init_options):  The content of
        protected_objects is now protected from garbage collection using
        scm_gc_register_root instead of scm_permanent_object.

        (get_option_setting):  New static function that computes an option
        setting as it was formerly done in the function scm_options.

        (get_documented_option_setting):  New static function that
        returns option documentation as it was formerly done in the
        function scm_options.  Note that documentation C strings are no
        longer precomputed into SCM objects.  Instead, they are converted
        into SCM strings every time get_documented_option_setting is
        called.

        (change_option_setting):  New static functions that modifies the
        option setting as it was formerly done in the function
        scm_options.  The function is now exception safe, i. e. won't
        cause a memory leak when interrupted.  Further, only non-immediate
        option values are added to the protection list.

        (scm_options):  This function now has only the purpose to dispatch
        to to get_option_setting, get_documented_option_setting or
        change_option_setting, depending on the arguments given to
        scm_options.

        (scm_init_opts):  Don't convert documentation C strings into SCM
        strings.  Further, don't protect any object values:  They _must_
        be immediate values, otherwise there is no guarantee that they
        have not been collected before anyway.

        * options.[ch] (scm_t_option):  Made type unsigned, name into a
        constant char* and val into a scm_t_bits type.

        (scm_options, scm_init_opts):  The number of options is guaranteed
        to be larger or equal to zero.  Thus, the type is changed to
        unsigned.

2001-10-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL):  Eliminated some warnings about
        testing an unsigned value for being >= 0.

2001-10-05  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * numbers.h:  Removed old comment about using SCM_CAR to access
        non-pair cells.

        (SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):  Make sure
        the return value is signed.  Thanks to Brian Crowder for the bug
        report.

        (SCM_SRS):  Avoid unnecessary casting and don't unpack input
        values.  With this patch, SCM_SRS can be safely used for other
        types than scm_t_signed_bits.  However, it should still better be
        an internal macro and thus be renamed to SCM_I_SRS.

        (SCM_MAKINUM, SCM_INUM):  Use proper casting.

2001-10-03  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * continuations.h, unif.h: in the descriptions of the bit patterns
        of the heap cells, make bit 0 the least significant.

2001-09-25  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

        * chars.h (SCM_MAKE_CHAR): Use `scm_t_bits' instead of `intptr_t'.
        Thanks to Golubev I. N.

2001-09-25  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * ports.c (scm_drain_input): extended the docstring.  thanks to
        Alex Schroeder and Thien-Thi Nguyen.

2001-09-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * validate.h (SCM_NUM2FLOAT, SCM_NUM2DOUBLE,
        SCM_VALIDATE_FLOAT_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_DOUBLE_COPY): New
        macros. (The NUM names might soon change.)

        * numbers.h: Added missing declarations.

2001-09-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * Makefile.am: Distribute num2float.i.c.

        * num2float.i.c: New file, multiply included by numbers.c, used
        to "templatize" the float <-> num conversion routines.

        * numbers.c: New functions: scm_num2float, scm_float2num,
        scm_num2double, scm_double2num.

2001-09-21  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * .cvsignore: really add version.h

        * strings.h (SCM_SET_STRING_LENGTH): coerce "l" to a long.
        Otherwise it fails on the alpha.  However, we might rather choose
        this size conditionally.

        * numbers.c (scm_gcd): change "k" to a long from an int.
        Otherwise it fails on the alpha.  However, we might rather choose
        this size conditionally.

        * error.c (scm_wta): coerce char* to intptr_t before int
        assignment.

        * debug.c (debugobj_print): coerce scm_intprint arg 1 to long, not
        int.

        * chars.h (SCM_MAKE_CHAR): coerce value to intptr_t.

2001-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_expt): Accept inexact integer in second
        argument.  (Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt.)

2001-09-20  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * .cvsignore: add version.h

        * versiondat.h.in: removed (obsolete).

        * version.h.in: renamed from version.h.
        (SCM_GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION): new public macro.
        (SCM_GUILE_MINOR_VERSION): new public macro.
        (SCM_GUILE_MICRO_VERSION): new public macro.

        * version.h: renamed to version.h.in.

        * version.c
        (scm_major_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.
        (scm_minor_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.
        (scm_micro_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.
        (scm_version): support integer *_VERSION macros.

2001-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

        * error.c, error.h: Made error keys globally accessible.
        Applications might want to test for these or use them in a direct
        call to scm_error.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): Report an error when these
        routines are passed an inexact.  This change in behavior is
        motivated by concordance with R5RS: It is more common that a
        primitive doesn't want to accept an inexact for an exact.

2001-09-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        The following patch partially undoes my patch from 2001-06-30,
        where I added the function scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively.  The
        function is buggy, since it breaks guile during conservative
        marking if a pointer on the stack points directly into the list of
        free cells on the heap:  With conservative cell marking this will
        cause the whole free list to be scanned and marked - boom!

        * gc.c (allocated_mark, MARK, heap_segment,
        scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively, scm_init_storage), gc.h
        (scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively):  Remove function
        scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively and update the corresponding
        comments and uses accordingly.  Thanks to Christopher Cramer for
        the patch.  (Minor corrections by me.)

2001-09-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * root.h (scm_root_state): removed the continuation_stack and
        continuation_stack_ptr members, which have no apparent purpose.
        (scm_continuation_stack, scm_continuation_stack_ptr): #defines
        removed.

        * root.c (root_mark), init.c (restart_stack, start_stack), gc
        (scm_igc): remove all references to contination_stack and
        continuation_stack_ptr, avoiding allocation of a vector and
        useless processing during gc.

2001-09-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * guardians.c (tconc_t, t_tconc):  Renamed tconc_t to t_tconc.

        (TCONC_IN):  Make sure that the cell word 0 is initialized last.

        (guardians_t, t_guardians):  Renamed guardians_t to t_guardians.

        (GUARDIAN, GUARDIAN_DATA):  Renamed GUARDIAN to GUARDIAN_DATA.

        (guardian_apply, scm_get_one_zombie, scm_make_guardian,
        mark_and_zombify):  Prefer !SCM_<foo> over SCM_N<foo>.

2001-09-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * guardians.c (mark_dependencies_in_tconc,
        whine_about_self_centered_zombies, scm_init_guardians):  Register
        the static global variable `self_centered_zombies' via
        scm_gc_register_root, to make some cdr-ing unnecessary.

2001-09-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * backtrace.c (display_backtrace_file,
        display_backtrace_file_and_line):  Use SCM_EQ_P when comparing SCM
        values, use SCM_FALSEP when comparing SCM values against #f.
        Thanks to Rob Browning for the bug report.

2001-09-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@home-of-linux.org>

        * strings.[ch] (scm_str2string): New function.

2001-09-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * gc.c (scm_done_free): Always subtract size from scm_mallocated
        when computing nm, even if it's negative.
        (scm_must_malloc): Abort on overflow of scm_mtrigger.
        (scm_must_realloc): Likewise.

2001-09-01  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * numbers.c (scm_sys_check_number_conversions): new function,
        defined if Guile is compiled in debugging mode.  currently checks
        `scm_num2ulong', should check much much more.

        * num2integral.i.c (NUM2INTEGRAL): when converting a bignum to
        unsigned, ensure that it's positive.  thanks to Martin Baulig!

2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h: Added new section about compile time selectable
        features.

        (long_long, ulong_long, scm_sizet, SCM_WNA, SCM_OUTOFRANGE,
        SCM_NALLOC, SCM_HUP_SIGNAL, SCM_INT_SIGNAL, SCM_FPE_SIGNAL,
        SCM_BUS_SIGNAL, SCM_SEGV_SIGNAL, SCM_ALRM_SIGNAL, SCM_GC_SIGNAL,
        SCM_TICK_SIGNAL, SCM_SIG_ORD, SCM_ORD_SIG, SCM_NUM_SIGS):
        Removed.

        * deprecation.c (scm_include_deprecated_features): Simplified.

        * eval.c (EVALCAR, unmemocopy), eval.h (SCM_XEVALCAR): Use
        `SCM_IMP´ instead of `!SCM_CELLP´.

        * eval.c (unmemocopy): Eliminate redundant SCM_CELLP tests.
        Extract side-effecting operations from macros.

        (scm_init_eval): Don't initialize *top-level-lookup-closure*,
        scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var and scm_system_transformer.

        * gc.c (CELL_P): New local definition to replace SCM_CELLP.

        (heap_segment):  Use CELL_P instead of SCM_CELLP.

        * init.c (start_stack): Don't initialize
        scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var and scm_system_transformer.

        * modules.c (scm_set_current_module): Don't access
        scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var and scm_system_transformer.

        (scm_sym2var): Don't call scm_variable_set_name_hint.

        (scm_post_boot_init_modules): Removed deprecated initializations.

        * print.c (scm_ipruk): Don't access cell contents of non cells.

        * strings.c (scm_string_set_x):  All strings are writable.

        * strings.h (SCM_STRINGP):  Use SCM_TYP7 to determine the string
        type.  There is only one string type now.

        (SCM_STRING_COERCE_0TERMINATION_X): Deprecated.

        * tags.h: Remove comments about two different string types.

        (SCM_CELLP, SCM_NCELLP): Deprecated.

        * variable.c (make_variable): Remove code variant for vcells.

        * variable.h (SCM_VARIABLE_REF, SCM_VARIABLE_SET,
        SCM_VARIABLE_LOC): Remove code variant for vcells.

        * __scm.h, deprecation.[ch]:  Renamed SCM_DEBUG_DEPRECATED to
        SCM_ENABLE_DEPRECATED with the logic reversed.

        * dynl.c (moddata, registered_mods), dynl.[ch]
        (scm_register_module_xxx, scm_registered_modules,
        scm_clear_registered_modules), error.[ch] (scm_wta), eval.c
        (*top-level-lookup-closure*), eval.[ch]

        * gc.c (scm_gc_mark): Handle scm_tc7_variable objects.

        (scm_init_variable): Do not register smob.

        Some more compatibility patches for Windows.

        * posix.c (getlogin): getlogin() implementation for Windows.

2001-07-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x):  The variable args does not
        necessarily have to be a list.  Further, got rid of a redundant
        SCM_NIMP test.

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * list.c (SCM_I_CONS):  Make sure the cell type is initialized
        last.

        * gc.c (s_scm_map_free_list, scm_igc, scm_gc_sweep,
        init_heap_seg): Fixed signedness.

        (init_heap_seg):  Replaced strange for-loop with a while loop.

        * weaks.h (WEAKSH, SCM_WEAKS_H):  Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

        (SCM_WVECTP):  Prefer !SCM_<pred> over SCM_N<pred>.

        The following patch adds conservative marking for the elements of
        free or allocated cells.

        * gc.c (allocated_mark, heap_segment):  New static functions.

        (which_seg):  Deleted, since the functionality is now provided by
        function heap_segment.

        (map_free_list):  Use heap_segment instead of which_seg.

        (MARK):  If cell debugging is disabled, mark free cells
        conservatively.

        (scm_mark_locations, scm_cellp):  Extracted the search for the
        heap segment of a SCM value into function heap_segment.

        (scm_init_storage):  Allocated cells must be marked
        conservatively.

        * gc.[ch] (scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively):  New function.

        The following patch changes the representation of weak vectors to
        double cells instead of using an extension of the vector's
        allocated memory.

        * gc.c (MARK):  Use SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN instead of assigning to
        the result of SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN.

        (scm_gc_sweep):  Weak vectors don't have extra fields any more.

        * weaks.c (allocate_weak_vector):  New static function.  It does
        not patch any previously created vector object during the
        construction of a weak vector, and thus doesn't need to switch
        off interrupts during vector creation.

        (scm_make_weak_vector, scm_make_weak_key_hash_table,
        scm_make_weak_value_hash_table, scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table):

        * weaks.h (SCM_WVECT_TYPE, SCM_SET_WVECT_TYPE,
        SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  New macros.  The weak vector subtype is
        now stored in the double cell.

        (SCM_IS_WHVEC, SCM_IS_WHVEC_V, SCM_IS_WHVEC_B, SCM_IS_WHVEC_ANY):
        Use SCM_WVECT_TYPE.

        (SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  The weak objects are now chained together
        using an entry of the double cell.

2001-06-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

2001-06-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        (lots of files): Use the new functions.

        * goops.c (CALL_GF1, CALL_GF2, CALL_GF3, CALL_GF4): Use scm_call_N.

        * strings.c: #include "libguile/deprecation.h".

2001-06-27  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): When reading a hash token, check for a
        user-defined hash procedure first, so that overriding the builtin
        hash characters is possible (this was needed for implementing
        SRFI-4's read synax `f32(...)').

        * num2integral.i.c: Use scm_t_signed_bits instead of scm_t_bits,
        because the latter is unsigned now and breaks comparisons like
        (n < (scm_t_signed_bits)MIN_VALUE).

2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * eval.h, eval.c (scm_call_4): New function.

        * eval.c (SCM_APPLY, SCM_CEVAL, ENTER_APPLY): Call trap handlers
        directly rather than dispatching to them via scm_ithrow and a lazy
        catch.

        * eval.c (scm_evaluator_trap_table), eval.h (SCM_ENTER_FRAME_HDLR,
        SCM_APPLY_FRAME_HDLR, SCM_EXIT_FRAME_HDLR): Add three new options
        for trap handler procedures.

        * debug.h (SCM_RESET_DEBUG_MODE): Add checks for trap handler
        procedures not being #f.

2001-06-27  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * Makefile.am (c-tokenize.c): add rule to generate it.
        (EXTRA_DIST): add c-tokenize.lex, so it gets distributed.

        filter-doc-snarfage.c: remove.

2001-06-26  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * ports.c (scm_output_port_p): Use result of SCM_COERCE_OUTPORT.

        The following set of changes makes compiling Guile under various

        Thanks to Stefan Jahn for all necessary information, patches and
        testing.

        * posix.c: Conditialize getpwent, getgrent, kill, getppid, getuid,

        and initialize gdb_interface data structures.

        * gdb_interface.h: Under Windows, gdb_interface cannot be
        initialized statically.  Initialize at runtime instead.

2001-05-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS):  Make 1 the default.

        * eval.c (promise_print):  Read the promise's value as an object.

        (SCM_CEVAL):  Don't perform side-effecting operations in macro
        parameters.

        * eval.h (SCM_EVALIM2):  Fix the typing strictness of the
        conditional expression.

        * gc.c (scm_master_freelist, scm_master_freelist2):  Added missing
        initializer.

        * gh_data.c (gh_set_substr):  Removed redundant unsigned >= 0
        text, removed redundant computation of effective_length and fixed
        the overflow check.

        * goops.c (test_slot_existence):  Use SCM_EQ_P to compare SCM
        values.

        (wrap_init):  Don't use SCM_C[AD]R for non pairs.

        (hell):  Make it a scm_bits_t pointer rather than a SCM pointer.

        * goops.c (scm_sys_modify_class), strports.c (st_resize_port),
        struct.h (SCM_SET_STRUCT_PRINTER):  Store unpacked values.

        * goops.h (SCM_ACCESSORS_OF, SCM_SLOT):  Return a SCM value.

        * goops.h (GOOPSH, SCM_GOOPS_H), modules.h (MODULESH,
        SCM_MODULES_H), objects.h (OBJECTSH, SCM_OBJECTS_H), struct.h
        (STRUCTH, SCM_STRUCT_H), symbols.h (SYMBOLSH, SCM_SYMBOLS_H),
        __scm.h (__SCMH, SCM___SCM_H):  Change <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

        * modules.[ch] (scm_module_tag):  Make it a scm_bits_t value.

        value of 2 now corresponds to the former 1, the current 1
        corresponds to the former situation that SCM_VOIDP_TEST was
        defined.

        (SCM):  Now defined as typedef struct scm_unused_struct * SCM;
        If this appears to be not ANSI compliant, we will change it to
        typedef struct scm_unused_struct { } * SCM;
        Thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys for the suggestion.

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x):  Fix typing problem, and use

        scm_sys_protects.

        * hooks.c (scm_create_hook): call `scm_gc_protect_object' instead

        --disable-deprecated.

2001-05-24  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        The purpose of this set of changes is to regularize Guile's usage
        of ANSI C integral types, with the following ideas in mind:

        - SCM does not nesessarily have to be long.
        - long is not nesessarily enough to store pointers.
        - long is not nesessarily the same size as int.

        The changes are incomplete and possibly buggy.  Please test on
        something exotic.

        * gc.[hc]: various small changes relating to many things stopping
        being long and starting being scm_[u]bits_t instead.
        scm_mallocated should no longer wrap around.

        * fports.h: type renaming:
        scm_fport -> scm_fport_t
        the old name is deprecated, all in-Guile uses changed.

        bits move somewhere else.

        * eval.c: changed the locals used to store results of SCM_IFRAME,

        (scm_port_t.putback_buf_size): int -> size_t.

        * __scm.h (long_long, ulong_long): deprecated (they pollute the
        global namespace and have little value beside that).
        (SCM_BITS_LENGTH): new, is the bit size of scm_bits_t (i.e. of an
        SCM handle).
        (ifdef spaghetti): include sys/types.h and sys/stdtypes.h, if they

        * procs.c (scm_make_subr_with_generic): Add missing last argument

        scm_c_make_gsubr_with_generic, scm_c_define_gsubr_with_generic):
        New functions.  They replace scm_make_gsubr and
        scm_make_gsubr_with_generic.  The `make' variants only create the
        gsubr object, while the `define' variants also put it into the
        current module.  Changed all callers.
        (scm_make_gsubr, scm_make_gsubr_with_generic): Deprecated.

        * procs.h, procs.c (scm_c_make_subr, scm_c_define_subr,

        subr object, while the `define' variants also put it into the

        (scm_make_subr, scm_make_subr_opt, scm_make_subr_with_generic):
        Deprecated.

2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * throw.c: Lazy-catch handlers are no longer allowed to return.
        Fixed comments throughout.
        (scm_ithrow): Signal an error when a lazy-catch handler returns.
        Moved actual jump to jmpbuf into if-branch where the jmpbuf is
        recognized as such.

        * version.c (s_scm_micro_version): Fix typo in FUNC_NAME, it
        refered to s_scm_minor_version previously.

        deprecated features appear at the bottom.

        scm_c_call_with_current_module, scm_c_define_module,
        scm_c_use_module, scm_c_export): New.
        (the_root_module): New static variant of scm_the_root_module.  Use
        it everywhere instead of scm_the_root_module.

        * fluids.h, fluids.c (scm_internal_with_fluids): Deprecated.
        (scm_c_with_fluids): Renamed from scm_internal_with_fluids.
        (scm_c_with_fluid): New.

        procedure.

        * rw.c (scm_init_rw_builtins): Renamed from scm_init_rw.  Do not

        Merged from mvo-vcell-cleanup-1-branch.

        The concept of vcells has been removed from Guile.  With it,
        explicit obarrays and associated operations are gone.  Use
        hashtables instead of obarrays.

        Throughout: use scm_sym2var instead of scm_sym2vcell and treat
        result as variable instead of vcell.  Glocs no longer point to a
        vcell but to a variable.  Use scm_c_define instead of
        scm_sysintern and treat the result as a variable (which it is),
        not a vcell.

        * variable.c, variable.h (SCM_VARVCELL, SCM_UDVARIABLEP,
        SCM_DEFVARIABLEP): Deprecated.

        hint parameter.
        (scm_variable_ref): Check for SCM_UNDEFINED and throw "unbound"
        error in that case.
        (scm_builtin_variable): Deprecated.

        * symbols.c, symbols.h (scm_sym2vcell, scm_sym2ovcell_soft,
        scm_sym2ovcell, scm_intern_obarray_soft, scm_intern_obarray,
        scm_intern, scm_intern0, scm_sysintern0_no_module_lookup,

        SCM_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_INIT): New, as replacement.  Changed all uses.

        SCM_GLOC_SYM.

        * evalext.c, filesys.c, fports.c, gdbint.c, gh_data.c, gsubr.c,
        hooks.c, load.c, numbers.c, objects.c, ports.c, posix.c, procs.c,

        uses.
        (scm_module_lookup_closure): Deal with the module being SCM_BOOL_F
        and return SCM_BOOL_F in that case.
        (scm_module_transformer): Likewise.
        (sym_module, scm_lookup_closure_module, scm_env_module): New.
        (SCM_F_EVAL_CLOSURE_INTERFACE, SCM_EVAL_CLOSURE_INTERFACE_P): New.

        * init.c (scm_load_startup_files): Do not call
        scm_post_boot_init_modules.  This is done by
        scm_set_current_module now.
        (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_modules_prehistory.  Call
        scm_init_variable early on.

        * goops.c (s_scm_sys_goops_loaded): Get
        var_compute_applicable_methods from scm_sym2var, not from a direct
        invocation of scm_goops_lookup_closure.

        * gh_funcs.c (gh_define): Return SCM_UNSPECIFIED instead of vcell.

        * gc.c: Added simple debugging hack to mark phase of GC: When

        (scm_unmemocopy): Removed thoughts about anti-macro interface.
        (scm_eval_args): Use more explicit code in the gloc branch of the

        (scm_deval_args): Likewise.
        (SCM_CEVAL): Likewise.  Also, do not use unmemocar, explicitely
        remember the symbol instead.  Added some comments where
        scm_tc3_cons_gloc really exclusively refers to structs.
        (scm_init_eval): Use scm_define to initialize "nil" and "t" to
        scm_lisp_nil and scm_lisp_t, respectively.  Use scm_define instead

        * dynwind.c (scm_swap_bindings): Use SCM_GLOC_SET_VAL instead of
        explicit magic.

        * debug.c (s_scm_make_gloc): Only allow proper variables, no

        (s_scm_gloc_p): Use `scm_tc3_cons_gloc' instead of the magic `1'.
        (scm_init_debug): Use scm_c_define instead scm_sysintern.

        strings.c, initializion of scm_nullvect to vectors.c.

        * gc.h (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Prefer SCM_NULLP over
        SCM_IMP, as in scm_debug_newcell and scm_debug_newcell2.

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1):  Reordered some initializations and
        added dependcy information comments.

        * eval.c (scm_i_eval): Copy expression before passing it to

        (scm_symbol_p, scm_symbol_to_string), strorder.c

        * gc.c (MARK):  Re-introduce a cheap sanity test for non debug
        mode, as suggested by Michael Livshin.

2001-03-31  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * backtrace.c (display_backtrace_body): since the `print_state'
        variable is not used (instead its data field is used directly as
        `pstate'), protect it from the hungry compiler optimizations.
        thanks to Bill Schottstaedt for the report.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gc.[ch] (scm_tc16_allocated):  New type tag for allocated cells.
        It is only defined and used if guile is compiled with
        SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.  It's purpose is, to never
        let cells with a free_cell type tag be visible outside of the
        garbage collector when in debug mode.

        * gc.c (scm_debug_cell_accesses_p):  Set to true as default.

        (scm_assert_cell_valid):  Use a local static variable to avoid
        recursion.

        (MARK):  Only check for rogue cell pointers in debug mode.  Use
        scm_cellp for this purpose and place all checks for rogue pointers
        into that function.  Further, since due to conservative scanning
        we may encounter free cells during marking, don't use the standard
        cell type accessor macro to determine the cell type.

        (scm_cellp):  Check if the cell pointer actually points into a
        card header.

        (scm_init_gc):  Initalize scm_tc16_allocated.

        * gc.h (GCH):  Renamed to SCM_GC_H.

        (SCM_VALIDATE_CELL):  Enclose the expression in brackets.  This
        might be unnecessary, but I feel better this way :-)

        (SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE):  New macro.

        (SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):  Deprecated.  These are not used
        in guile, and it is unlikely that they will be applied to real
        pairs anyway.

        (SCM_SET_FREE_CELL_TYPE):  Removed.  It was not used.

        (SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED):  New macro.  Only non-empty if guile is
        compiled with SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.

        (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Use of SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED will
        make sure that in debug mode no free cell will ever be visible
        outside of the garbage collector.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * async.c (scm_asyncs_pending):  Don't use != to compare SCM

        * async.c (scm_system_async), variable.c (scm_make_variable,
        scm_make_undefined_variable):  Use scm_cons to create a pair.

        * debug.c (scm_reverse_lookup):  Perform proper type checking.
        Remove suspicious use of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p), tags.h (SCM_ECONSP):  Use SCM_CONSP instead
        of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.  A sane compiler should be able to perform
        the corresponding optimization.

        * eval.c (iqq):  Use proper type check.

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Remove redundant type checks.

        (promise_print):  Don't access promise cells as pairs.

        * eval.c (EVALCAR, iqq, scm_m_expand_body, scm_eval_args,
        scm_deval_args SCM_CEVAL), guardians.c (scm_guard), hashtab.c
        (scm_internal_hash_fold), print.c (scm_iprlist):  Use !SCM_CELLP
        for SCM_NCELLP, !SCM_CONSP for SCM_NCONSP, !SCM_IMP for SCM_NIMP,
        !SCM_FALSEP for SCM_NFALSEP, !SCM_NULLP for SCM_NNULLP

        * eval.c (scm_m_define, scm_macroexp, SCM_CEVAL), print.c
        (scm_iprin1):  Use new macro predicate and accessors.

        * eval.h (scm_tc16_macro):  Removed declaration.  It is declared
        in macros.h.

        * eval.h (EVALH), macros.h (MACROSH), ports.h (PORTSH), procs.h
        (PROCSH), tags.h (TAGSH), variable.h (VARIABLEH):  Renamed to
        SCM_EVAL_H, SCM_MACROS_H, SCM_PORTS_H, SCM_PROCS_H, SCM_TAGS_H and
        SCM_VARIABLE_H.  Even the macros that are used to inhibit
        including a header file twice should be in the SCM_ namespace.

        * fluids.c (scm_swap_fluids, scm_swap_fluids_reverse),
        properties.c (scm_primitive_property_ref,
        scm_primitive_property_del_x):  Prefer stronger predicates like
        SCM_NULLP or SCM_FALSEP over SCM_IMP.

        * gc.c (MARK):  Use proper macros to access procedure-with-setter
        cell elements and closure cell elements.

        (gc_sweep_freelist_finish, scm_gc_sweep, init_heap_seg):  Don't
        access free cells as pairs.

        (scm_unprotect_object):  scm_hashq_get_handle returns #f if
        no hashtab entry is found.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep), ports.c (scm_close_port):  Use new macro
        SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG.

        * guardians.c (TCONC_IN), print.c (scm_free_print_state):  Don't
        use SCM_SET_C[AD]R for uninitialized cells.

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_get_handle):  Use SCM_VALIDATE_VECTOR.
        If the hashtable has no slots, return #f instead of '().  This
        unifies the return value with most assoc-functions.

        (scm_hash_fn_ref):  Use proper type check.

        (scm_hashq_get_handle, scm_hashv_get_handle, scm_hash_get_handle):
        Removed references to non-existing functions from documentation.

        * keywords.c (scm_keyword_dash_symbol):  Use proper macros to
        access keyword cell elements.

        * macros.h (SCM_MACROP, SCM_MACRO_TYPE, SCM_MACRO_CODE):  New
        macros.

        * ports.h (SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG):  New macro.

        * print.c (scm_iprlist):  Added comment.  Improved loop
        conditions.

        * procs.h (SCM_ENV, SCM_SETENV):  Don't access closure cells as
        pairs.

        * smob.c (scm_markcdr):  Don't access smob cells as pairs.

        * tags.h (SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP, SCM_SLOPPY_NCONSP):  Deprecated.

        * throw.c (ACTIVATEJB, DEACTIVATEJB):  Don't access jump buffer
        cells as pairs.

        * variable.c (variable_print, variable_equalp, scm_variable_ref,
        scm_variable_set_x):  Use proper macros to access variable cell
        elements.

        (scm_variable_bound_p):  Don't use SCM_NEGATE_BOOL.

        * variable.h (SCM_VARVCELL):  Don't access variable cells as
        pairs.

        * vectors.c (scm_vector), weaks.c (scm_weak_vector):  Simplified,
        added FIXME comment, removed register specifier.

2001-03-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_init_oop_goops_goopscore_module): Deprecated.
        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Don't init goopscore module.

        eval.c can use it.
        (scm_call_with_values): Removed.
        * values.c (values_vtable, scm_values_vtable): Added "scm_" prefix
        so that it can be exported.
        (scm_call_with_values): Removed.

        * tags.h (SCM_IM_CALL_WITH_VALUES): New isym.

        * error.c, net_db.c, putenv.c, stime.c: Removed declaration of
        errno variable (can be a macro on some systems, for example when
        using linux libc with threads).

        * error.c, filesys.c, gc.c, ioext.c, iselect.c, net_db.c, ports.c,
        posix.c, print.c, putenv.c, scmsigs.c, script.c, simpos.c, smob.c,
        socket.c, srcprop.c, stime.c, strop.c, unif.c, vports.c: Added
        #include <errno.h> in these 20 out of 100 files.

2001-03-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * socket.c: add a definition of SUN_LEN (from glibc) for when it's
        not already defined.

2001-03-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * coop.c: Inserted #include <stdio.h>.

2001-03-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * posix.c: Replaced `#define' of __USE_XOPEN right before
        including unistd.h with a define of _GNU_SOURCE at the very top of
        the file.

2001-03-09  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        (scm_getpriority, scm_setpriority, scm_getpass, scm_flock),
        (scm_sethostname, scm_gethostname): New procedures.

2001-03-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * ports.c (scm_port_column): Docstring fixes: (i) port-line arg is
        not optional (ii) "recommend" spelling correction.

2001-03-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * ramap.c (racp): Removed optimization which caused array copying
        to fail if the two arrays shared storage.  Re-inserted the IVDEP
        macros removed in the change of 2000-03-09.  (Don't really have a
        complete grasp of what they are for, but they seem to be necessary
        on Crays.  This needs testing!)  Thanks to Miroslav Silovic.

        * hash.c (scm_string_hash): Don't downcase characters.

2001-03-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        function.

        * coop-threads.c: Fixed change of 2001-03-06.

        * validate.h: Code formatting.

2001-03-07  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * Makefile.am (*.x): Add dependency on snarf.h and guile-doc-snarf.in.
        (*.doc): Add dependency on guile-snarf.awk.in.

        * guile-snarf.awk.in: Neglect spaces at the end of
        SCM_SNARF_DOCSTRING_END.  Skip lines "# NN ..." in the
        middle of docstrings.  (To avoid the problem with gcc-2.96.)

2001-03-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * coop-threads.c (scm_call_with_new_thread), load.c

        (scm_c_default_rstate), struct.c (scm_make_struct_layout,
        scm_struct_ref, scm_struct_set_x):  Don't use SCM_ASSERT to
        (potentially) issue a scm-misc-error or wrong-num-args error
        message.

        * load.c (scm_search_path):  Use SCM_ASSERT_TYPE to give details
        about the expected type with the wrong-type-arg error message.

        * smob.c (scm_make_smob):  Abort on misuse of smob - it indicates
        a C level bug that can't be fixed from scheme anyway.

2001-03-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * eval.c (scm_m_letstar): Removed check for duplicate bindings.
        Duplicate bindings are OK in a let* since a let* is semantically
        equivalent to a nested set of let:s.

2001-03-05  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_options): Fixed texinfo in docstring.

        * net_db.c (scm_getserv, scm_getproto, scm_getnet): Return #f if
        the underlying functions getservent, getprotoent or getnetent
        return NULL instead of signalling an error.

2001-03-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * socket.c (scm_fill_sockaddr): don't allow buffer overflows when
        taking an unexpectedly large filename for an AF_UNIX socket from
        bind/connect/sendto (thanks to Martin Grabmueller).

        * socket.c (scm_sock_fd_to_port, SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT): removed the
        former and adjusted the latter.
        (scm_socket, scm_socketpair): cosmetic changes.
        (scm_getsockopt, scm_setsockopt): declare optlen as int, not
        size_t as socklen_t substitute.  don't restrict args/return values
        to INUM: allow full range of int or size_t.
        (scm_fill_sockaddr): check arguments before allocating memory, to
        avoid leakage.  use malloc, not scm_must_malloc.
        (scm_connect, scm_bind, scm_sendto): use int, not size_t as socklen_t
        substitute.  free the sockaddr structure before throwing an error.
        (scm_init_add_buffer): procedure removed, together with its static
        buffer scm_addr_buffer, which wouldn't be thread safe.  instead,
        define a macro MAX_ADDR_SIZE and declare the buffer where needed.
        (scm_accept, scm_getpeername, scm_getsockname, scm_recvfrom,
        scm_sendto): use a local buffer instead of scm_addr_buffer.
        adjust for new SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT.  use int for address size,
        not size_t.
        (scm_recvfrom): set addr->sa_family to AF_UNSPEC before the recvfrom
        call to detect whether recvfrom could be bothered to set the address.
        (scm_init_socket): don't call scm_init_addr_buffer.

        (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_COPY):  Don't call function scm_wta, call
        scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg instead.

        * validate.h (SCM_WTA, RETURN_SCM_WTA):  Deprecated.

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): Removed.

        script_get_backslash, script_read_arg), unif.c (scm_cvref):  Don't
        call function scm_wta, call scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg
        instead.

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * goops.c (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): New procedure.

2001-03-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_s_duplicate_formals): New error message string.
        (scm_c_improper_memq): New function.
        (scm_m_lambda): Check for duplicate arguments.
        (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When executing a body: only cons a new
        toplevel environment frame when it is different from the
        existing one; use EVALCAR instead of SIDEVAL so that we can properly
        check for empty combinations; use SCM_EVALIM2 for the same reason
        in the non-toplevel loop.
        (nontoplevel_cdrxnoap, nontoplevel_cdrxbegin, nontoplevel_begin):
        New labels with the meaning of their non-"nontoplevel" partners,
        but they are used when it is known that the body is not evaluated at
        top-level.
        (scm_apply, scm_dapply): use SCM_EVALIM2 to get proper error
        reporting for empty combinations.

        (scm_string_ci_geq_p), symbols.c (scm_symbol_p)
        (scm_symbol_to_string, scm_string_to_symbol): Changed use of @t{}

        * struct.c (scm_struct_p, scm_struct_vtable_p): Added texinfo

2001-02-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASSERT_TYPE):  Add missing macro parameter.
        (Obviously nobody compiles with SCM_RECKLESS defined...)

        * validate.h (SCM_ASSERT_RANGE):  Use the argument number.

2001-02-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        scm_make_polar): Rename arguments `z1' and `z2' to `x' and `y',

        typos.

        scm_i_eval.
        (make_class_from_template): Do not bother to set the current
        module around the call to DEFVAR, scm_eval takes care of that.
        (scm_init_goops): Make scm_module_goops and
        scm_goops_lookup_closure permanent objects.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When evaluating expressions on
        top level, create a fresh top-level environment for each
        expression instead of mutating the exisint frame.  This is
        important when that frame is closed over.

        * numbers.c (s_scm_logior) [SCM_DIGSTOOBIG]: Also use
        SCM_DIGSPERLONG instead of DIGSPERLONG.

2001-02-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Check for wrong number of args

        receiver procedure in call-with-current-continuation.
        (scm_i_eval): Do not invoke scm_copy_tree in argument in SCM_XEVAL
        macro.  The argument is expanded more than one time.

        SCM_BIGDIG instead of BIGDIG.  Thanks to Steven G. Johnson!

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * gc_os_dep.c: Do not include <linux/version.h>.  It makes no
        sense to compile for a specific kernel version.  Do not include
        <asm/signal.h> while defining __KERNEL__.  This hack should no
        longer be needed and caused problems.

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): use `SIDEVAL' instead of

        names to better reflect their meaning.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Recognize when `begin' is being
        evaluated at top-level and synronize lookup closure before
        executing every subform.
        (scm_primitve_eval_x, scm_primitive_eval): New functions.
        (scm_eval_x, scm_eval): Reimplement in terms of

2001-02-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * modules.h (scm_selected_module, scm_current_module): Renamed
        scm_selected_module to scm_current_module to synchronize Scheme
        and C names.
        (scm_select_module, scm_set_current_module): Likewise.  Changed
        all uses.

        * ports.c (scm_port_for_each): Make a snapshot of the port table
        before iterating over it.  The table might change while the user
        code is running.  With the snapshot, the user can depend on the
        fact that each port that existed at the start of the iteration is
        encountered exactly once.  (ice-9 popen) depends on this.

        checking of the size parameter for type correctness and valid
        range.  Thanks to Rob Browning for reporting the problem.  Instead
        of deferring interrupts, scm_remember_upto_here_1 is used.

        Martin Grabmueller for the patch.

2001-01-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * ioext.c: further simplify scm_read_string_x_partial by defining
        a macro SCM_EBLOCK.

2001-01-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gh_data.c (gh_ints2scm):  Simplified using SCM_FIXABLE.

2001-01-18  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h:  Added comment about architecture and compiler
        properties that are required by guile.

        (SCM_FIXNUM_BIT, SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM,
        SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):  Moved to numbers.h.

        (SCM_CHAR_BIT, SCM_LONG_BIT):  Moved here from numbers.h.

        (SCM_FIXNUM_BIT, SCM_MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM,
        SCM_MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM):  Moved here from __scm.h.

2001-01-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_FIXNUM_BIT):  Added.  The name is chosen in analogy
        to the names in limits.h.

        * numbers.c (abs_most_negative_fixnum):  Added.

        (scm_quotient, scm_remainder):  Fixed the fixnum-min / (abs
        fixnum-min) special case.

2001-01-11  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        from Matthias Köppe:

        * objects.h (SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER): new macro.  SCM_ENTITY_SETTER
        casts its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.

        * goops.c (s_scm_sys_set_object_setter_x): use
        SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER.
        (clear_method_cache): use SCM_SET_ENTITY_PROCEDURE.

        * gc.h (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_BVEC): new macro.  SCM_GC_CARD_BVEC casts
        its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.
        (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS): ditto for SCM_GC_GET_CARD_FLAGS.
        (SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): redefined in terms of
        SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS.
        (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAG, SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): ditto.

        * gc.c (INIT_CARD): use the explicit setter macro to set the bvec.

2001-01-08  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY): new macro.
        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial, scm_read_delimited_x),
        socket.c (scm_recvfrom): use the new macro, plus minor docstring
        changes.
        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): don't crash if -1 is supplied
        for fdes.  if current input port is used, check that it's a file
        port.

2001-01-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): new procedure, implements
        read-string!/partial.
        * ports.c (scm_take_from_input_buffers): new procedure used by
        scm_read_string_x_partial.
        (scm_drain_input): use scm_take_from_input_buffers.

2001-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER): New.

2001-01-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * guardians.c (F_GREEDY, F_LISTED, F_DESTROYED, GREEDY_P,
        SET_GREEDY, LISTED_P, SET_LISTED, CLR_LISTED, DESTROYED_P,
        SET_DESTROYED): new defines/macros.
        (GUARDIAN_LIVE, GUARDIAN_ZOMBIES, GUARDIAN_NEXT): deleted.
        (add_to_live_list): takes a `guardian_t *' now, not SCM.
        (guardian_print): print more info.
        (guardian_apply): check if the guardian is destroyed, and throw an
        error if so.  take one more optional argument `throw_p'.
        (scm_guard): depending on the value of `throw_p', return a boolean
        result.
        (scm_get_one_zombie): remove redundant property test.
        (guardian_t): represent the various (currently 3, I hope nothing
        more gets added) boolean fields as bit flags.
        (scm_guardian_destroyed_p, scm_guardian_greedy_p): new predicates.
        (scm_destroy_guardian_x): new procedure.

        * guardians.h: added prototypes for `scm_guardian_greedy_p' and
        `scm_guardian_destroyed_p'.  changed prototype for `scm_guard'.

2001-01-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * fports.c (fport_write): bugfix: handle short writes for
        unbuffered ports too.  optimize the buffered case by minimizing
        the number of write/flush calls.
        (write_all): new helper procedure.
