  45
  46         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
  47         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
  48         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval

  50

  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to

  65         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit

  76         (named-module-use!): New function.
  77         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level

  81
  82         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of

  90
  91 2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  92
  93         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
  94         operating systems.
  95
  96         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

  98         * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
  99         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with

 101         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 102         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.

 104
 105 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 106
 107         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 108         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 109
 110         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 111         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 112
 113         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 114         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 115
 116 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 117
 118         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 119         in C for now.
 120         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 121         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 122
 123 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 124
 125         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 126         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 127         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 128         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 129         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 130         for now.
 131         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 132         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 133
 134 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 135
 136         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 137         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 138         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 139         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 140         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 141         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 142         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 143
 144 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 145
 146         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 147         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 148
 149 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 150
 151         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 152         any more.
 153
 154 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 155
 156         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 157         the-root-module.
 158
 159 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 160
 161         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 162
 163 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 166         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 167         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 168         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 169         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 170         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 171         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 172         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 173         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 174         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 175         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 176         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 177         make-shared-substring.
 178
 179 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 180
 181         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 182         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 183         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 184         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 185         scm-style-repl.
 186
 187 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 188
 189         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 190         and open-output-pipe.
 191
 192 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 193
 194         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 195         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 196         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 197         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 198         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 199         Pirotte for the bug report).
 200         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 201         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 202
 203 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 204
 205         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 206         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
 207
 208 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 211
 212 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 213
 214         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 215         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 216         patch.
 217
 218 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 219
 220         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 221         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 222
 223 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 224
 225         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 226         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 227         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 228
 229         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 230         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 231         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 232         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 233         actual documentation entries themselves.
 234
 235 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 236
 237         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 240
 241         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 242
 243 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

 246         Convert first argument to a string.
 247
 248         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 249         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 250         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 251         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 254
 255         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 262

 264         `symbol-append'.
 265         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 266         args.
 267         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 268         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 269         even worked...  /mdj.
 270         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 271         `symbol->string'.
 272         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 273         semantics.
 274
 275 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 276
 277         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

 300         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 301         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 302         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 303         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 304         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

 306         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 307
 308 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 309
 310         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 311         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 312
 313         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 314         syntactic bindings.
 315
 316         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 317         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 318         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 319         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 320
 321         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 327
 328         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):

 330
 331 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 332
 333         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 334         definition of module-type.
 335
 336         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 337
 338         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 339
 340         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 341         lines.
 342         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 343         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 344
 345 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 346

 362         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 363         for export args.
 364
 365 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 366
 367         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 368
 369 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 370
 371         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 372         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 373         for the hint.
 374
 375         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to

 381         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 382         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 385         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 386         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 387         See NEWS.
 388         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 389
 390         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 391
 392 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 393
 394         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 395         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 396
 397 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 398
 399         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 400         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 401
 402 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 403
 404         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 405         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 406
 407 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 408
 409         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 410
 411         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 412
 413         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 414
 415 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 416
 417         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 418         '() instead of #f.
 419         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 420         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 421         `the-root-module'.
 422         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 423
 424         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 425         documentation.scm.
 426
 427         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 428         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 429         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 430         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 431         (help): Rewritten.
 432
 433         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 434
 435         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 436
 437 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 438
 439         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 440         (write-all): Removed.
 441         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 442         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 443
 444 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 445
 446         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 447         `proc-documentation'
 448
 449         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 450         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 451         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 452         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 453         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 454         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 455         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 456         getter...)
 457
 458 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 459
 460         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 461
 462 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 463
 464         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 465         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 466         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 467         closure.
 468
 469 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 472         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 473         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 474         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 475         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 476         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 477         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 478
 479 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 482         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 483
 484 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 485
 486         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 487         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 488
 489 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 490
 491         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 492         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 493         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 494         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 495         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 496         delete-if! when iterating.
 497
 498 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 499
 500         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 501
 502 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 503
 504         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 505
 506 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 507
 508         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 509         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 510         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 511         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 512
 513 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 514
 515         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 516         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 517
 518 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 519
 520         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 521         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 522         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 523         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 524
 525 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 526
 527         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 528         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 529
 530 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 531
 532         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 533         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 534
 535 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 538         Dirk Hermann!
 539
 540 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 541
 542         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 543         source of the numerous very short changes.
 544
 545 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 546
 547         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 548         public.
 549
 550         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 551         info pages.
 552
 553 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 554
 555         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 556         from slib docs.
 557
 558 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 559
 560         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 561         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 562
 563 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 566         to string-append.
 567
 568 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 569
 570         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 571         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 572         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 573
 574 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 575
 576         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 577         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 578         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 579         Narazaki for this change.
 580
 581 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 582
 583         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 584         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 585         %S.
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 588         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 589
 590 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 591
 592         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 593         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 594
 595 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 596
 597         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 598         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 599         use define-public to export from the module.
 600
 601 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 602
 603         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 604         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 605         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 606
 607 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 608
 609         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 610
 611 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 612
 613         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 614         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 615
 616 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 617
 618         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 619
 620         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 621
 622         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 623
 624 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 627         long_long uniform vectors.
 628
 629 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 630
 631         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 632         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 633
 634 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 635
 636         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 637         script to create generated files like this one.
 638
 639 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 642         available before using getpw and getuid.
 643         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 644         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 645         check for stat.
 646         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 647         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 648         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 649         available.
 650         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 651         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 652         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 653
 654         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 655         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 656
 657         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 658
 659 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 660
 661         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 662         than 'exit-debugger.
 663
 664         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 665         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 666
 667         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 668

 674         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 675         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 676         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 677         to return a valid state.)
 678         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 679
 680 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 681
 682         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 683         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 684         Badros.)
 685
 686 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 687
 688         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 689         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 690
 691 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 692
 693         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 694
 695         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 698         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 699
 700         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 701         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 702         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 703         expression.
 704         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 705         Handle errors.
 706
 707 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 708
 709         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 710         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 711
 712         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 713
 714 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 715
 716         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 717         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 718         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 719         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 720
 721         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 722         argument.
 723
 724         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 725         both forward and backward views of the stack
 726         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 727         Use selector `frame-number';
 728         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 729         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 730         Use (ice-9 debug).
 731         Use readline conditionally.
 732
 733 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 734
 735         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 736         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 737         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 738
 739         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 740         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 741         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 742
 743 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 744
 745         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 748
 749         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 750
 751         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 752
 753 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 754
 755         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 756         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 757         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 758         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 759         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 760         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 761         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 762         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 763         libguile-config-stamp.
 764         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 765         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 766         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 767         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 768         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 769
 770 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 771
 772         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 773         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 774         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 775
 776         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 777         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 778         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 779         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 780         readline.
 781
 782         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 783
 784 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 785
 786         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 787
 788 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 789
 790         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 791         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 792
 793 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 794
 795         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 796         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 797         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 798         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 799         objects starting with '#/'.
 800
 801 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 802
 803         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 804         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 805         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 806         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 807         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 808         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 809         `observer-id'.
 810         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 811         module-modified): New procedures.
 812         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 813         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 814
 815 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 816
 817         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 818         defines.
 819
 820 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 821
 822         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 823         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 824         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 825
 826         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 827         position.
 828
 829 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 830
 831         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 832         at multiple calls to read.
 833         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 834         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 835         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 836         continued-lines prompt.
 837
 838         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 839         reading expressions.
 840
 841 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 842
 843         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 844         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 845
 846 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 847
 848         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 849         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 850         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 851
 852         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 853
 854         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 855         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 856
 857         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 858         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 859         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 860         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 861         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 862         instead of a port.
 863
 864 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 865
 866         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 867         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 868
 869         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 870
 871         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 872         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 873         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 874         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 875
 876         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 877
 878         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 879
 880         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 881         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 882         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 883         an alist.
 884
 885         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 886
 887         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 888         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 889         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 890         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 891         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 892         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 893         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 894         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 895         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 896         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 897         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 898
 899         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 900
 901         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 902         peeked from the stream.
 903         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 904         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 905         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 906
 907         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 908
 909         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 910         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 911
 912         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 913
 914         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 915         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 916         exiting repl with single control-D.
 917
 918         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 921         error catching loop after quit received.
 922         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 923
 924         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 925         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 926         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 927
 928         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 929         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 930         boot-9.scm.
 931         * popen.scm: new file.
 932
 933 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 934
 935        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 936        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 937
 938 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 939
 940         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 941         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 942
 943 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 944
 945         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 946         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 947         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 948         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 949         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 950
 951 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 952
 953         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 954
 955         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 956         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 957
 958         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 959         Guile's module system.
 960
 961         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 962         changes:
 963         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 964         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 965         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 966         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 967         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 968         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 969         modern CL behavior.
 970         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 971         '() when the condition is false.
 972
 973 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 974
 975         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 976
 977 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 978
 979         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 980
 981 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 982
 983         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 984         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 985         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 986
 987 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 988
 989         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 990         argument order for hash-fold.
 991
 992 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 993
 994         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 995         resolve-module.
 996         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 997         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 998
 999         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1000         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1001         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1002         has been added to the load path).
1003
1004         Use try-load-module.
1005
1006 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1007
1008         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1009         module between system and user state.
1010
1011 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1012
1013         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1014
1015         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1016         definition.
1017
1018 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1021         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1022         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1023
1024 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1025
1026         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1027         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1028         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1029         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1030         stack frame encountered.
1031
1032         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1033         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1034         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1035         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1036         list).]
1037
1038         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1039         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1040         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1041         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1042         please tell me!]
1043
1044         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1045         define-module switches:
1046
1047         (define-module (foo)
1048           :no-backtrace)
1049
1050         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1051         modules.
1052
1053         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1054         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1055         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1056         module it is a system frame.
1057
1058         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1059         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1060         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1061         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1062         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1063
1064         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1065         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1066         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1067         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1068         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1069         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1070
1071         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1072         status of a module.;
1073         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1074         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1075
1076         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1077         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1078         closure to the module.
1079
1080         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.

1085
1086 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1087

1089
1090 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1091
1092         Fix from Russ McManus:
1093         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1094         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1095         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1096         either an optional or required value.
1097
1098 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

1120         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1121
1122 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1125         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1126         for isn't loaded.
1127
1128 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1129
1130         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1131
1132 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1135         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1136         applied to the module itself.
1137
1138 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1139
1140         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1141
1142         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1143         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1144
1145 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1148
1149 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1150
1151         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1152
1153 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1154
1155         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1156         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1157
1158 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1159
1160         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1161         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1162         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1163         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1164         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1165         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1166         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1167
1168 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1171         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1172
1173 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1174
1175         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1176         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1177         static libraries.
1178
1179 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1180
1181         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1182
1183 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1186
1187 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1188
1189         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1190         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1191         adapt to the new hooks.
1192
1193 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1194
1195         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1196         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1197         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1198         code.
1199         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1200         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1201
1202         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1203         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1204         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1205         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1206         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1207         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1208         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1209         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1210         first to register linked modules.
1211
1212         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1213         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1214         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1217         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1218         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1219         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1220
1221         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1222         to use from C:
1223         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1224         libguile/feature.c.
1225
1226         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1227         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1228         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1229
1230 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1233         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1234         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1235
1236 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1237
1238         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1239         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1240         result of the last form.
1241
1242 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1243
1244         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1245         syncase.scm.
1246
1247         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1248
1249         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1250         readline-set!: New options interface.
1251
1252         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1253
1254 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1255
1256         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1257         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1258
1259 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1260
1261         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1262         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1263
1264 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1265
1266         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1267         interactive session.
1268         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1269
1270         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1271         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1272
1273 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1274
1275         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1276
1277 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1278
1279         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1280         read line was empty.
1281
1282 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1285         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1286
1287         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1288
1289         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1290         problem.  Duh.
1291         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1292         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1293         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1294
1295         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1296         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1297         into...
1298         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1299         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1300         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1301
1302         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1303         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1304         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1305         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1306         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1307         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1308         psyntax.ss.
1309         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1310
1311         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1312         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1313
1314 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1315
1316         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1317         and short vectors #h(...).
1318
1319 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1320
1321         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1322         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1323         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1324
1325 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1326
1327         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1328         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1329         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1330
1331 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1334         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1335
1336         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1337         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1338         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1339         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1340
1341 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342
1343         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1344         trace flag.
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1347         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1348         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1349         context with traps enabled.
1350
1351 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1352
1353         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1354         module.
1355         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1356
1357 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1358
1359         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1360         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1361         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1362         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1363         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1364
1365 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1366
1367         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1368         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1369
1370 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1371
1372         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1373
1374 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1375
1376         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1377
1378 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1379
1380         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1381
1382 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1383
1384         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1385         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1386
1387 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1388
1389         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1390         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1391         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1392         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1393         Archibald.)
1394
1395         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1396         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1397         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1398
1399 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1400
1401         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1402         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1403         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1404         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1405         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1406         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1407         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1408
1409 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1412
1413 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1416         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1417         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1418         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1419         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1420         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1421
1422 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1423
1424         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1425         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1426         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1427         Steven G. Johnson.)
1428
1429 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1430
1431         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1432
1433 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1434
1435         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1436
1437 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1438
1439         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1440         be completed.
1441
1442 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1443
1444         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1445
1446 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1447
1448         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1449         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1450
1451 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1452
1453         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1454         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1455         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1456         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1457         transformer.
1458         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1459         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1460
1461 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1462
1463         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1464
1465 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1466
1467         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1468         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1469         completion.
1470
1471         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1472         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1473
1474         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1475         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1476         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1477
1478         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1479
1480 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1481
1482         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1483
1484         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1485         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1486
1487 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1488
1489         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1490
1491 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1492
1493         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1494         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1495
1496         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1497
1498         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1499         obsolete.
1500
1501 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1502
1503         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1504         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1505
1506 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1507
1508         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1509
1510 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1511
1512         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1513         Stachowiak.)
1514
1515 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1516
1517         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1518         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1519         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1520         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1521         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1522         threads.
1523
1524 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1525
1526         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1527         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1528         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1529
1530 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1531
1532         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1533
1534         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1535         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1536
1537 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1538
1539         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1540         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1541         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1542         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1543         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1544         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1545         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1546         to go here.
1547
1548 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1549
1550         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1551         is now a fluid.
1552
1553 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1554
1555         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1556         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1557         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1558         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1559         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1560         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1561
1562 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1563
1564         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1565         usefully so they will work from a script.
1566
1567 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1568
1569         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1570         neighborhood of the record code.
1571
1572 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1573
1574         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1575         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1576         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1577         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1578
1579 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1580
1581         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1582         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1583         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1584
1585 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1586
1587         Add support for readline function.
1588         * readline.scm: New module.
1589         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1590         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1591         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1592         anything.
1593         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1594         repl-reader to use them.
1595         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1596
1597         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1598
1599 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1600
1601         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1602         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1603
1604 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1605
1606         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1607         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1608         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1609
1610 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1611
1612         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1613         #f, abort terminates the process.
1614         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1615         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1616
1617 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1618
1619         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1620         print-state, throw it away.
1621
1622 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1623
1624         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1625         `0'.
1626
1627 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1630         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1631         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1632         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1633         user field).
1634         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1635         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1636
1637 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1638
1639         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1640
1641 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1642
1643         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1644         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1645         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1646         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1647         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1648         boot-9.scm.
1649         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1650         distribution and installation.
1651         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1652
1653 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1654
1655         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1656
1657 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1658
1659         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1660         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1661         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1664         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1665         symbol.
1666
1667 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1668
1669         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1670
1671         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1672
1673 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1676         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1677         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1678         field a separate argument.
1679
1680         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1681
1682 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1683
1684         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1685
1686         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1687         vicinity;
1688         Provide defmacro.
1689
1690 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1691
1692         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1693
1694 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1697         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1698         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1699         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1700         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1701         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1702         registered.
1703         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1704         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1705         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1706         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1707         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1708         link a .so-file.
1709
1710 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1711
1712         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1713
1714 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1715
1716         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1717         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1718
1719 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1722
1723         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1724         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1725         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1726         expansion inside the slib module.
1727
1728         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1729         constructors.
1730         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1731         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1732         (let): New core form.
1733         (if): Removed from core language.
1734         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1735         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1736         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1737
1738         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1739         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1740         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1741         source.
1742         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1743         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1744         been loaded.
1745
1746 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1747
1748         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1749         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1750         `use-syntax'.
1751         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1754         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1755         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1756         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1757         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1758         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1759         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1760         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1761         module.
1762         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1763
1764 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1765
1766         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1767
1768         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1769         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1770         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1771         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1772         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1775         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1776         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1777         syncase macros.
1778         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1779         the syncase interface.
1780
1781 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1782
1783         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1784         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1785         workings of the current module system).
1786
1787 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1788
1789         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1790         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1791         off!
1792
1793 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1794
1795         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1796         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1797         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1798
1799 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1800
1801         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1802         according to the following priorities:
1803         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1804         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1805         3. tcl bindings
1806         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1807         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1808         (new-interpreter): New function.
1809
1810         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1811         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1812         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1813
1814 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1815

1829
1830         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1831         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1832         source!

1842         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used

1845         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1846         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

1863
1864 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1865
1866         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1867         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1868         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1869
1870         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1871
1872         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1873         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

1887
1888         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1889         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1890         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1891
1892         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1893         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1894         the top.
1895
1896         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1897         order to narrow it correctly.

1911         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1912         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1913
1914 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1915
1916         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1917         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1918         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1919
1920 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1921
1922         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

1928         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1929         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1930         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1931         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1932

1934
1935         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1936         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1937         a default of /.
1938
1939         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1940
1941 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1948         make-regexp.
1949

1951
1952         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1953         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1954         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1955         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1956         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1957         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1958
1959         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1960         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1961         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1962         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1963
1964 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1965
1966         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1967         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1968         sending in bug reports.
1969         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1970         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1971         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1972         display a warning if the two are different.
1973         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1974         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1975         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1976
1977 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1980
1981 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1982
1983         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1984         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1985
1986         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1987         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1988         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1989         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1990         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1991         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1992         that's okay.
1993
1994         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1995         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1996         regexp interface.
1997
1998         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1999         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2000
2001         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2002         function names.
2003
2004         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2005         fixes.
2006
2007 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2008
2009         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2010         ../configure.in.
2011
2012 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2013
2014         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2015         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2016
2017 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2020         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2021         to support printing of structures.
2022         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2023         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2024         commented out printing code.
2025         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2026         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2027
2028 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2029
2030         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2031
2032 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2033
2034         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2035         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2036         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2037         during call to scm-style-repl.
2038
2039 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2040
2041         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2042         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2043         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2044         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2045         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2046
2047 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2048
2049         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2050         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2051         (ice-9 regex).
2052
2053 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2054
2055         * regex.scm: New file.
2056         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2057         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2058
2059 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2060
2061         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

2069         in 1997.
2070
2071 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2072
2073         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2074         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2075         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2076
2077 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2078
2079         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2080         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2081         here.
2082
2083 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2084
2085         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2092
2093         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2094         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2095         fixes this too.
2096
2097 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2100         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2101         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2102
2103 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2104
2105         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2106         the Scheme code like code yet.
2107         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2108
2109 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2110
2111         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2112         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2113         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2114
2115 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2116
2117         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2118         use-modules macro
2119         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2120         can't be found.
2121
2122 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2123
2124         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

2126 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2127
2128         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2129
2130         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2131         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.

2155
2156         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

2161         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2162         instead of in libguile.
2163         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2164         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2165
2166 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2167
2168         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2169         procedures.
2170         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2171         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2172
2173 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2174
2175         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2176         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2177
2178 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2179
2180         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2181         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2182         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2183         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2184
2185 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2186
2187         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2188         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2189
2190 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2191
2192         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2193
2194 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2195
2196         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2197         keywords and symbols.
2198
2199 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2200
2201         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2202
2203         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2204         Don't define read-sharp.
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2207         (read-sharp): removed.
2208         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2209         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2210
2211 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2212
2213         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2214
2215         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2216         primitive procedure.)
2217
2218         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2219         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2220
2221 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2222
2223         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2224
2225 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2228
2229 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2230
2231         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2232         read gets EOF.
2233         * (exit): alias for quit.
2234
2235 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2236
2237         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2238         return the quit args.
2239         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2240         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2241         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2242
2243         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2244
2245 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2248
2249         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2250         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2251
2252         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2253         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2254
2255         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2256         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2257         of handlers.
2258
2259 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2260
2261         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2264         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2265         Change hooks to use these functions.
2266
2267         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2268         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2269         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2270         the source! :-)
2271         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2272         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2273         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2274         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2275         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2276         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2277         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2278         traced.
2279
2280         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2281         and exit-frame exceptions.
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2284         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2285         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2286         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2287         result; otherwise display "> ".
2288         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2289
2290         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2291         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2292         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2293         repository version runnable.
2294
2295 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2296
2297         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2298         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2299         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2300         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2301         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2302         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2303
2304 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2307         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2308         and eval.
2309         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2310         "defined?".
2311         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2312         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2313
2314 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2315
2316         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2317
2318 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2319
2320         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2321         %read-sharp layer.
2322
2323 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2324
2325         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2326         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2327
2328 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2329
2330         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2331         backtrace.c.)
2332
2333 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2334
2335         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2336         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2337
2338 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2339
2340         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2343         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2344         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2345         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2346         dynamic linking of modules.
2347         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2348         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2349
2350 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2351
2352         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2353
2354 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2355
2356         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2357         that's what it is.
2358
2359         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2360         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2361         was false.
2362
2363 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2366         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2367         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2368
2369 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2370
2371         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2372         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2373         yet.
2374
2375 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2376
2377         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2378         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2379         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2380
2381 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2384         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2385         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2386         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2387
2388         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2389         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2390         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2391         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2392         (such as the-scm-module).
2393
2394 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2395
2396         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2397         %search-load-path.
2398
2399 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2400
2401         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2402         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2403         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2404
2405 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2406
2407         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2408         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2409         function, use it accordingly.
2410
2411 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2412
2413         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2414         function of no arguments.
2415         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2416         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2417         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2418         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2419         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2420         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2421         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2422         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2423
2424 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2425
2426         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2427         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2428
2429 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2430
2431         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2432         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2433         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2434         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2435         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2436
2437         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2438         `*features*'.
2439
2440         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2441         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2442         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2443         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2444
2445         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2446
2447         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2448
2449         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2450         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2451         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2452
2453         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2454         error.
2455
2456         Added `before-read-hook'.
2457
2458         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2459
2460         (provide): New function.
2461
2462         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2463         in backtraces.
2464
2465         (backtrace): New function.
2466
2467         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2468         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2469         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2470         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2471         is found in operator position in a frame.
2472
2473         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2474         by default.
2475
2476         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2477         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2478         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2479
2480         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2481
2482         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2483
2484         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2485
2486         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2487
2488 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2489
2490         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2491
2492         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2493         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2494
2495         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2496         so they'll get distributed.
2497
2498         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2499         should see as little clutter as possible.
2500         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2501         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2502         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2503
2504         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2505         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2506         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2507         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2508         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,

2512         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2513         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2514         that are not.
2515         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2516         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2517
2518         * test.scm: New file.
2519
2520         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2521         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2522         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2523
2524         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2525         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2526
2527         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2528         work now.
2529         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2530         call %load-announce.
2531
2532 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2533
2534         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2535         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2536         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2537         components.
2538         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2539
2540 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2543         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2544         SCSH (which this isn't).
2545
2546 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2547
2548         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2549
2550 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2551
2552         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2553         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2554         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2555         these.
2556         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2557         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2558         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2559         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2560         save-stack.
2561
2562 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2563
2564         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2565
2566         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2567
2568         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2569         error-catching-loop.
2570         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2571         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2572         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2573
2574         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2575         error-catching-loop.
2576
2577 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2578
2579         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2580         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2581         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2582         should be '(), not #f.
2583
2584         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2585         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2586
2587 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2588
2589         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2590         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2591         error-signal.
2592
2593 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2594
2595         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2596         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2597         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2598         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2599
2600 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2601
2602         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2603
2604 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2605
2606         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2607
2608         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2609         throw-handler-default.
2610         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2611         reported.
2612         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2613         acro.
2614         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2615         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2616
2617 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2618
2619         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2620         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2621         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2622         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2623
2624 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2625
2626         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2627         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2628         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2629         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2630         ...))
2631         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2632         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2633         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2634         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2635         file-is-directory?
2636
2637 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2638
2639         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2640
2641         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2642         distribution.
2643
2644         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2645         `switch-repl'.
2646
2647         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2648
2649 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2650
2651         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2652         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2653
2654 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2655
2656         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2657
2658         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2659
2660 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2663         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2664         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2665         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2666         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2667
2668         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2669         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2670         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2671         they seem redundant.
2672         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2673         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2674         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2675         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2676         directly files starting with "/").
2677         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2678         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2679
2680         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2681
2682 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2683
2684         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2685         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2686         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2687         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2688         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2689         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2690         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2691         robust to just do it in the C code.
2692
2693 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2694
2695         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2696         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2697         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2698         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2699         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2700
2701 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2702
2703         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2704         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2705         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2706
2707 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2708
2709         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2710         system-error, not every kind of error.
2711         (scm-error): new procedure.
2712
2713 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2714
2715         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2716
2717 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2718
2719         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2720         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2721         of args are supplied.
2722         (%%system-errors): removed.
2723         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2724         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2725         %%handle-system-error.
2726         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2727         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2728         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2729         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2730
2731 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2732
2733         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2734         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2735         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2736         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2737
2738 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2739
2740         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2741         the empty list if they are #f.
2742         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2743
2744 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2745
2746         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2747
2748         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2749         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2750         aborting, just the key and subr.
2751         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2752         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2753         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2754
2755 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2756
2757         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2758         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2759         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2760         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2761         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2762
2763 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2764
2765         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2766         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2767         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2768         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2769
2770 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2771
2772         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2773         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2774         initialize %load-path.
2775
2776         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2777         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2778
2779 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2780
2781         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2782         Add the directory named after the version number.
2783         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2784         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2785         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2786         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2787         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2789         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2790         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2791
2792 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2793
2794         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2795         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2796         in the Makefile directly.
2797         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2798         for these.
2799         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2800         aux_files.
2801         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2802         here, where people expect to find them.

2805
2806         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2807         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2808
2809         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2810
2811 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2812
2813         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2814         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

2817
2818         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):

2820
2821         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2822         weak-key-hash-table.

2826         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2827         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
2828         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2829         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2830         (%open-file): removed.
2831         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2832         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2833
2834 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2835
2836         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2837         (manifest): Deleted.
2838         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2839         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.

2843         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2844         now that they throw errors directly.
2845         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2846         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
