1 2001-03-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
3 * buffered-input.scm (make-line-buffered-input-port): Don't set
4 the continuation flag for leading whitespace. Thanks to Dirk
5 Herrmann for the suggestion.
7 2001-03-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
9 * optargs.scm (rest-arg->keyword-binding-list): Use "'()" instead
12 * buffered-input.scm: New file, with guts of line buffered input
13 port implementation extracted from guile-readline/readline.scm.
15 2001-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
17 * stack-catch.scm: New file.
19 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added stack-catch.scm.
21 2001-03-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
23 * boot-9.scm, rdelim.scm: Use "'()" instead of "()" in all places
24 where the empty list is meant.
26 2001-02-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
28 * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
29 cutting. Makes backtraces work again! Also added a reference to
30 save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
33 2001-02-25 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
35 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
36 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.
38 2001-02-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
40 * boot-9.scm (eval-when, eval-case): Renamed `eval-when' to
41 `eval-case', everywhere.
43 2001-02-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
45 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
46 `interaction-evironment'.
47 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
49 (eval-when): New macro.
50 (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
51 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
52 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
54 (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the
56 (define-module): Simply call `process-define-module' without any
57 fuss (but only on top-level).
58 (named-module-use!): New function.
59 (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'. Use equivalent low-level
62 2001-02-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
64 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of
66 (define-public): Do not use `eval'.
68 2001-02-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
70 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
73 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
75 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
78 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
79 `and-let-star.scm'. Updated module name as well.
80 * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
81 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
83 (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
84 "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
85 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
87 2001-01-26 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
89 This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
90 the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
92 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
93 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
95 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
96 readline-set!): Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
98 2001-01-24 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
100 * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here. it's done
102 * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
103 * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
105 2001-01-21 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
107 * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
108 * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
109 read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
110 scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
111 * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
113 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
114 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
116 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
118 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
119 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
120 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
121 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
122 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
123 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
124 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
126 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
128 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
129 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
131 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
133 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
136 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
138 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
141 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
143 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
145 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
147 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
148 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
149 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
150 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
151 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
152 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
153 split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
154 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
155 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
156 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
157 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
158 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
159 make-shared-substring.
161 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
163 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
164 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
165 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
166 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
169 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
171 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
172 and open-output-pipe.
174 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
176 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
177 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
178 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
179 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
180 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
181 Pirotte for the bug report).
182 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
183 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
185 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
187 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
188 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
190 2000-10-15 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
192 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
194 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
196 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
197 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
200 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
202 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
205 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
207 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
208 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
209 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
211 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
212 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
213 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
214 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
215 actual documentation entries themselves.
217 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
219 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
221 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
223 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
225 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
227 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
228 Convert first argument to a string.
230 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
231 getter-and-setter-syntax,
232 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
233 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
235 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
237 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
239 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
241 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
243 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
245 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
247 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
249 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
250 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
252 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
254 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
257 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
259 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
262 2000-08-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
264 * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
265 #:allow-other-keys. Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
267 2000-08-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
269 * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
271 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
273 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
275 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
277 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
280 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
282 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
283 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
284 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
285 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
286 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
288 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
290 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
292 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
293 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
295 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
298 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
299 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
300 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
301 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
303 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
305 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
306 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
308 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
310 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
311 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
313 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
315 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
316 definition of module-type.
318 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
320 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
322 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
324 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
325 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
328 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
330 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
332 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
334 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
335 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
336 Mikael for the suggestion.
338 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
340 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
341 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
343 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
345 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
348 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
350 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
352 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
354 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
355 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
358 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
359 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
362 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
364 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
365 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
367 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
368 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
369 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
371 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
373 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
375 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
377 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
378 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
380 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
382 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
383 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
385 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
387 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
388 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
390 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
392 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
394 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
396 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
398 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
400 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
402 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
403 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
405 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
407 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
410 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
411 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
412 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
413 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
416 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
418 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
420 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
422 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
423 (write-all): Removed.
424 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
425 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
427 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
429 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
432 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
433 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
434 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
435 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
436 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
437 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
438 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
441 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
443 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
445 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
447 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
448 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
449 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
452 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
454 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
455 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
456 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
457 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
458 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
459 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
460 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
462 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
464 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
465 accept complex numbers as parameter.
467 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
469 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
470 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
472 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
474 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
475 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
476 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
477 instead of remove-if when iterating.
478 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
479 delete-if! when iterating.
481 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
483 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
485 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
487 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
489 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
491 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
492 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
493 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
494 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
496 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
498 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
499 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
501 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
503 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
504 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
505 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
506 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
508 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
510 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
511 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
513 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
515 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
516 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
518 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
520 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
523 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
525 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
526 source of the numerous very short changes.
528 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
530 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
533 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
536 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
538 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
541 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
543 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
544 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
546 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
548 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
551 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
553 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
554 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
555 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
557 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
559 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
560 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
561 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
562 Narazaki for this change.
564 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
566 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
567 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
570 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
571 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
573 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
575 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
576 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
578 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
580 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
581 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
582 use define-public to export from the module.
584 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
586 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
587 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
588 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
590 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
592 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
594 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
596 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
597 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
599 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
601 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
603 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
605 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
607 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
609 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
610 long_long uniform vectors.
612 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
614 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
615 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
617 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
619 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
620 script to create generated files like this one.
622 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
624 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
625 available before using getpw and getuid.
626 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
627 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
629 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
630 check for .guile, instead of stat.
631 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
633 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
634 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
635 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
637 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
638 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
640 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
642 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

655 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
656 ("position"): New command.
657 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
658 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
659 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
660 to return a valid state.)
661 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
663 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
665 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
666 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
669 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
671 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
672 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
674 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
676 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
678 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
680 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
681 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
683 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
684 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
685 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
687 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
690 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
692 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
693 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
695 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
697 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
699 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
700 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
701 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
702 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
704 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
707 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
708 both forward and backward views of the stack
709 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
710 Use selector `frame-number';
711 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
712 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
714 Use readline conditionally.
716 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
718 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
719 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
720 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
722 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
723 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
726 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
728 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
730 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
732 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
734 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
736 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
738 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
739 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
740 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
741 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
742 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
743 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
744 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
745 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
746 libguile-config-stamp.
747 * version.scm.in: Delete.
748 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
749 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
750 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
751 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
753 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
755 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
756 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
757 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
759 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
760 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
761 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
762 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
765 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
767 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
769 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
771 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
773 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
774 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
776 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
778 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
779 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
780 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
781 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
782 objects starting with '#/'.
784 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
786 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
787 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
788 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
789 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
790 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
791 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
793 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
794 module-modified): New procedures.
795 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
796 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
798 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
800 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
803 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
805 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
806 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
807 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
809 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
812 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
814 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
815 at multiple calls to read.
816 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
817 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
818 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
819 continued-lines prompt.
821 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
824 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
826 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
827 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
829 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
831 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
832 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
835 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
837 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
838 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
840 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
841 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
842 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
843 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
844 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
847 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
849 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
850 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
852 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
854 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
855 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
856 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
857 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
859 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
861 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
863 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
864 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
865 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
868 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
870 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
871 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
872 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
873 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
874 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
875 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
876 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
877 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
878 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
879 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
880 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
882 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
884 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
885 peeked from the stream.
886 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
887 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
888 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
890 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
892 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
893 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
895 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
897 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
898 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
899 exiting repl with single control-D.
901 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
903 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
904 error catching loop after quit received.
905 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
907 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
908 primitive exit if non-interactive.
909 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
911 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
912 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
914 * popen.scm: new file.
916 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
918 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
919 (reverse-iota): removed.
921 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
923 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
924 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
926 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
928 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
929 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
930 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
931 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
932 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
934 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
936 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
938 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
939 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
941 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
942 Guile's module system.
944 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
946 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
947 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
948 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
949 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
950 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
951 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
953 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
954 '() when the condition is false.
956 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
958 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
960 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
962 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
964 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
966 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
967 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
968 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
970 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
972 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
973 argument order for hash-fold.
975 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
977 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
979 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
980 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
982 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
983 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
984 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
985 has been added to the load path).
989 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
991 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
992 module between system and user state.
994 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
996 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
998 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1001 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1003 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1004 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1005 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1007 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1009 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1010 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1011 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1012 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1013 stack frame encountered.
1015 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1016 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1017 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1018 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1021 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1022 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1023 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1024 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1027 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1028 define-module switches:
1030 (define-module (foo)
1033 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1036 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1037 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1038 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1039 module it is a system frame.
1041 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1042 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1043 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1044 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1045 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1047 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1048 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1049 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1050 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1051 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1052 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1054 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1055 status of a module.;
1056 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1057 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1059 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1060 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1061 closure to the module.
1063 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1065 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1067 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1069 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1071 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1073 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1075 Fix from Russ McManus:
1076 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1077 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1078 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1079 either an optional or required value.
1081 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1083 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1085 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1086 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1088 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1089 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1090 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1091 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1095 * optargs.scm: New file.
1096 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1097 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1099 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1101 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1102 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1103 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1105 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1107 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1108 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1111 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1113 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1115 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1117 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1118 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1119 applied to the module itself.
1121 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1123 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1125 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1126 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1128 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1130 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1138 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1139 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1141 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1143 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1144 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1145 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1146 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1147 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1148 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1149 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1151 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1153 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1154 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1156 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1158 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1159 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1162 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1164 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1166 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1168 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1170 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1172 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1173 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1174 adapt to the new hooks.
1176 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1178 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1179 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1180 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1182 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1183 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1185 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1186 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1187 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1188 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1189 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1190 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1191 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1192 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1193 first to register linked modules.
1195 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1196 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1197 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1199 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1200 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1201 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1202 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1204 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1206 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1209 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1210 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1211 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1213 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1215 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1216 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1217 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1219 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1221 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1222 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1223 result of the last form.
1225 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1227 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1230 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1232 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1233 readline-set!: New options interface.
1235 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1237 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1239 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1240 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1242 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1245 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1247 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1249 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1250 interactive session.
1251 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1253 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1254 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1256 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1258 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1260 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1262 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1263 read line was empty.
1265 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1267 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1268 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1270 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1272 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1274 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1275 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1276 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1278 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1279 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1281 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1282 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1283 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1285 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1286 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1287 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1288 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1289 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1290 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1292 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1294 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1295 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1297 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1299 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1300 and short vectors #h(...).
1302 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1304 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1305 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1306 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1308 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1310 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1311 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1312 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1314 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1316 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1317 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1319 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1320 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1321 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1322 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1324 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1326 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1329 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1330 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1331 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1332 context with traps enabled.
1334 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1336 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1338 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1340 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1342 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1343 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1344 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1345 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1346 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1348 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1350 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1351 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1353 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1355 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1357 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1359 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1361 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1363 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1365 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1367 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1368 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1370 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1372 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1373 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1374 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1375 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1378 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1379 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1380 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1382 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1384 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1385 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1386 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1387 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1388 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1389 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1390 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1392 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1394 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1396 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1398 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1399 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1400 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1401 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1402 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1403 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1405 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1407 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1408 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1409 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1412 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1414 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1416 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1418 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1420 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1422 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1425 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1427 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1429 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1431 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1432 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1434 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1436 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1437 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1438 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1439 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1441 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1442 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1444 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1446 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1448 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1450 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1451 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1454 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1455 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1457 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1458 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1459 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1461 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1463 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1465 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1467 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1468 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1470 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1472 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1474 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1476 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1477 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1479 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1481 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1484 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1486 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1487 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1489 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1491 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1493 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1495 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1498 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1500 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1501 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1502 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1503 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1504 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1507 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1509 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1510 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1511 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1513 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1515 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1517 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1518 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1520 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1522 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1523 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1524 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1525 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1526 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1527 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1528 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1531 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1533 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1536 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1538 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1539 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1540 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1541 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1542 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1543 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1545 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1547 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1548 usefully so they will work from a script.
1550 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1552 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1553 neighborhood of the record code.
1555 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1557 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1558 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1559 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1560 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1562 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1564 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1565 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1566 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1568 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1570 Add support for readline function.
1571 * readline.scm: New module.
1572 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1573 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1574 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1576 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1577 repl-reader to use them.
1578 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1580 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1582 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1584 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1585 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1587 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1589 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1590 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1591 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1593 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1595 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1596 #f, abort terminates the process.
1597 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1598 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1600 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1602 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1603 print-state, throw it away.
1605 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1607 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1610 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1612 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1613 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1614 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1615 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1617 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1618 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1620 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1622 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1624 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1626 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1627 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1628 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1629 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1630 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1632 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1633 distribution and installation.
1634 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1636 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1638 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1640 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1642 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1643 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1644 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1646 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1647 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1650 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1652 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.

1660 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1661 field a separate argument.
1663 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1665 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>

1680 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1681 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1682 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1683 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1684 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1686 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1687 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1688 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1689 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1690 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1704 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1706 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1707 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1708 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1709 expansion inside the slib module.
1711 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1722 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1723 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1725 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1726 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has

1749 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1751 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1752 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1753 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1754 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1755 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1757 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1758 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1759 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1761 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1762 the syncase interface.
1764 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1766 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1767 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1768 workings of the current module system).
1770 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1772 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1773 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1782 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1784 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1785 according to the following priorities:
1786 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1787 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1789 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1790 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1791 (new-interpreter): New function.
1793 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1794 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1795 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1797 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1799 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1843 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1845 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1847 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1849 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

1869 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1871 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1872 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1873 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1875 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1876 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1879 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1880 order to narrow it correctly.
1881 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1895 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1897 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1899 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1900 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1901 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1903 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1905 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

1936 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1937 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1938 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1939 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1940 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1942 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1943 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1944 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1945 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1947 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1949 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1950 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1951 sending in bug reports.
1952 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1953 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1954 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1955 display a warning if the two are different.
1956 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1957 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.

1967 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1969 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1970 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1971 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1972 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1973 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1974 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1977 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1978 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1981 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1982 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1984 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1987 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc

2003 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2004 to support printing of structures.
2005 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2006 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2007 commented out printing code.
2008 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.

2022 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2024 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2025 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2026 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2027 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2028 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2030 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2032 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2033 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2036 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2038 * regex.scm: New file.
2039 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

2054 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2056 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2057 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2058 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2060 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2062 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2063 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy

2068 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2076 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2077 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2080 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2082 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2083 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2084 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2086 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2088 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2089 the Scheme code like code yet.

2092 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2094 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2095 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2096 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2098 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2100 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the

2107 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2109 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2111 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.

2114 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2115 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2117 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

2151 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2153 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2154 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2156 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2159 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2161 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2163 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2164 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2165 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2166 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2168 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2170 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2171 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2173 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2175 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2177 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2179 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2180 keywords and symbols.
2182 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2184 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2186 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2187 Don't define read-sharp.
2189 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2190 (read-sharp): removed.
2191 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2192 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2194 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2196 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2198 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2199 primitive procedure.)
2201 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2202 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2204 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2206 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2208 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2210 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2212 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2214 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2216 * (exit): alias for quit.
2218 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2220 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2221 return the quit args.
2222 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2223 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2224 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2226 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2228 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2230 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2232 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2233 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2235 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2236 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2238 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2239 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2242 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2244 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2246 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2247 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2248 Change hooks to use these functions.
2250 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2251 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2252 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2254 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2255 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2256 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2257 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2258 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2259 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2260 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2263 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2264 and exit-frame exceptions.
2266 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2267 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2268 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2269 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2270 result; otherwise display "> ".
2271 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2273 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2274 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2275 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2276 repository version runnable.
2278 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2280 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2281 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2282 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2283 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2284 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2285 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2287 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2289 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2290 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2292 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2294 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2295 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2297 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2299 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2301 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2303 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2306 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2308 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2309 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2311 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2313 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2316 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2318 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2319 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2321 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2323 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2325 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2326 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2327 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2328 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2329 dynamic linking of modules.
2330 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2331 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2333 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2335 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2337 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2339 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2342 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2343 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2346 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2348 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2349 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2350 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2352 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2354 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2355 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2358 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2360 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2361 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2362 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2364 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2366 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2367 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2368 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2369 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2371 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2372 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2373 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2374 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2375 (such as the-scm-module).
2377 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2379 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2382 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2384 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2385 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2386 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2388 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2390 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2391 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2392 function, use it accordingly.
2394 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2396 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2397 function of no arguments.
2398 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2399 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2400 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2401 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2402 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2403 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2404 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2405 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2407 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2409 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2410 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2412 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2414 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2415 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2416 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2417 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2418 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2420 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2423 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2424 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2425 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2426 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2428 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2430 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2432 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2433 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2434 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2436 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2439 Added `before-read-hook'.
2441 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2443 (provide): New function.
2445 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2448 (backtrace): New function.
2450 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2451 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2452 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2453 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2454 is found in operator position in a frame.
2456 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2459 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2460 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2461 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2463 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2465 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2467 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2469 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2471 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2473 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2475 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2476 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2478 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2479 so they'll get distributed.
2481 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2482 should see as little clutter as possible.
2483 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2484 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2485 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2487 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2488 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2489 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2490 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2491 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2492 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2493 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2494 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2495 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2496 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2498 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2499 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2501 * test.scm: New file.
2503 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2504 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2505 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2507 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2508 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2510 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2512 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2513 call %load-announce.
2515 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2517 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2518 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2519 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2521 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2523 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2525 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2526 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2527 SCSH (which this isn't).
2529 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2531 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2533 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2535 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2536 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2537 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2539 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2540 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2541 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2542 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2545 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2547 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2549 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2551 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2552 error-catching-loop.
2553 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2554 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2555 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2557 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2558 error-catching-loop.
2560 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2562 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2563 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2564 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2565 should be '(), not #f.
2567 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2568 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2570 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2572 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2573 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2576 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2578 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2579 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2580 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2581 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2583 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2585 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2587 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2589 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2591 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2592 throw-handler-default.
2593 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2595 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2597 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2598 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2600 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2602 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2603 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2604 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2605 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2607 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2609 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2610 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2611 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2612 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2614 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2615 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2616 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2617 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2620 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2622 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2624 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2627 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2630 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2632 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2634 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2635 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2637 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2639 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2641 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2643 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2645 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2646 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2647 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2648 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2649 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2651 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2652 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2653 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2654 they seem redundant.
2655 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2656 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2657 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2658 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2659 directly files starting with "/").
2660 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2661 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2663 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2665 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2667 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2668 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2669 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2670 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2671 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2672 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2673 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2674 robust to just do it in the C code.
2676 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
