 215
 216         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 217         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 218         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 219         frame is invoked.
 220
 221 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 260

 262
 263         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser

 266         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

 274
 275 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 276
 277         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 278         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 279
 280         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 281         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 282
 283         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 284         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 285
 286 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 289         in C for now.
 290         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 291         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 292
 293 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 294
 295         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 296         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 297         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 298         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 299         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 300         for now.
 301         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

 303
 304 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 305
 306         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 307         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 308         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 309         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 310         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 311         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 312         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 313
 314 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 315
 316         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 317         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 318
 319 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 320
 321         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 322         any more.
 323
 324 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 325
 326         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 327         the-root-module.
 328
 329 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 330
 331         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 332
 333 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 336         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 337         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 338         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 339         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 340         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 341         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 342         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 343         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 344         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 345         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 346         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 347         make-shared-substring.
 348
 349 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 352         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 353         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 354         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 355         scm-style-repl.
 356
 357 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 358
 359         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 360         and open-output-pipe.
 361
 362 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 363
 364         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 365         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 366         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 367         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 368         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 369         Pirotte for the bug report).
 370         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 371         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 372
 373 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 374
 375         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 376         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

 384         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 385         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 386         patch.
 387
 388 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 389
 390         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 391         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 392
 393 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 394
 395         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 396         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 397         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 398
 399         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 400         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 401         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 402         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 403         actual documentation entries themselves.
 404
 405 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 406
 407         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
 408
 409 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 410
 411         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 412
 413 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 414
 415         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
 416         Convert first argument to a string.
 417
 418         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 419         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 420         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 421         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 422
 423         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 424
 425         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
 426
 427 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 428
 429         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
 430
 431 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 432
 433         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 434         `symbol-append'.
 435         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 436         args.
 437         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 438         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 439         even worked...  /mdj.
 440         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 441         `symbol->string'.
 442         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 443         semantics.
 444
 445 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 446
 447         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 448         form set!.
 449
 450 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 451
 452         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 453         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 454
 455 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 456
 457         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
 458

 466         Matthias Köppe.)
 467
 468 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 469
 470         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 471         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 472         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 473         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 474         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 475
 476         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 477
 478 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 479
 480         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 481         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 482
 483         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 484         syntactic bindings.
 485
 486         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 487         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 488         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 489         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 490
 491         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 492
 493         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 494         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 495
 496         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 497
 498         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 499         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 500
 501 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 502
 503         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 504         definition of module-type.
 505
 506         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 507
 508         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 509
 510         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 511         lines.
 512         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 513         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 514
 515 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 516
 517         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 518
 519 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 520
 521         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 522         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 523         Mikael for the suggestion.
 524
 525 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 526
 527         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 528         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 529
 530 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 531
 532         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 533         for export args.
 534
 535 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 536
 537         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 538
 539 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 540
 541         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 542         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 543         for the hint.
 544
 545         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 546         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 547         tail recursive yet.
 548
 549 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 552         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 553
 554         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 555         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 556         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 557         See NEWS.
 558         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 559
 560         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 561
 562 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 563
 564         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 565         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 566
 567 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 568
 569         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 570         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 571
 572 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 573
 574         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 575         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 576
 577 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 578
 579         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 580
 581         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 582
 583         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 584
 585 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 588         '() instead of #f.
 589         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 590         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 591         `the-root-module'.
 592         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 593
 594         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 595         documentation.scm.
 596
 597         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 598         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 599         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 600         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 601         (help): Rewritten.
 602
 603         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 604
 605         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 606
 607 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 608
 609         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 610         (write-all): Removed.
 611         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 612         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 613
 614 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 615
 616         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 617         `proc-documentation'
 618
 619         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 620         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 621         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 622         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 623         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 624         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 625         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 626         getter...)
 627
 628 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 631
 632 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 633
 634         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 635         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 636         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 637         closure.
 638
 639 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 642         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 643         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 644         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 645         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 646         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 647         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 648
 649 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 650
 651         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 652         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 653
 654 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 655
 656         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 657         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 658
 659 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 660
 661         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 662         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 663         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 664         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 665         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 666         delete-if! when iterating.
 667
 668 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 669
 670         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 671
 672 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 673
 674         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 675
 676 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 677
 678         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 679         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 680         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 681         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 682
 683 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 684
 685         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 686         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 687
 688 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 689
 690         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 691         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 692         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 693         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 694
 695 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 696
 697         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 698         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 699
 700 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 701
 702         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 703         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 704
 705 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 708         Dirk Hermann!
 709
 710 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 711
 712         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 713         source of the numerous very short changes.
 714
 715 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 716
 717         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 718         public.
 719
 720         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 721         info pages.
 722
 723 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 724
 725         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 726         from slib docs.
 727
 728 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 729
 730         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 731         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 732
 733 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 734
 735         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 736         to string-append.
 737
 738 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 739
 740         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 741         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 742         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 743
 744 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 745
 746         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 747         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 748         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 749         Narazaki for this change.
 750
 751 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 754         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 755         %S.
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 758         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 759
 760 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look

 772
 773         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 774         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 775         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

 805
 806         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 807         script to create generated files like this one.
 808
 809 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 812         available before using getpw and getuid.
 813         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.

 819         available.
 820         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 821         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 822         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 823
 824         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

 857
 858         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 859         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.

 878
 879         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

 890
 891         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 892         argument.
 893
 894         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 895         both forward and backward views of the stack
 896         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 897         Use selector `frame-number';

 903 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 904
 905         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 906         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 907         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 908
 909         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 910         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 911         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 912
 913 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 914
 915         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.

 917         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 918
 919         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 920
 921         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 922
 923 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 924
 925         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 926         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 927         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 928         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 929         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 930         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 931         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 932         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 933         libguile-config-stamp.
 934         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 935         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 936         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 937         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 938         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 939
 940 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 941
 942         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 943         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 944         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 945
 946         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 947         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 948         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 949         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 950         readline.
 951
 952         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 953
 954 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 955
 956         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 957
 958 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 959
 960         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 961         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 962
 963 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 964
 965         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 966         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 967         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 968         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 969         objects starting with '#/'.
 970
 971 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 972
 973         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 974         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 975         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 976         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 977         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 978         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 979         `observer-id'.
 980         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 981         module-modified): New procedures.
 982         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 983         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 984
 985 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 986
 987         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 988         defines.
 989
 990 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 991
 992         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 993         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 994         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 997         position.
 998
 999 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1000
1001         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1002         at multiple calls to read.
1003         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1004         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1005         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1006         continued-lines prompt.
1007
1008         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1009         reading expressions.
1010
1011 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1012
1013         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1014         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1015
1016 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1017
1018         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1019         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1020         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1021
1022         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1023
1024         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1025         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1026
1027         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1028         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1029         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1030         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1031         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1032         instead of a port.
1033
1034 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1035
1036         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1037         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1038
1039         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1040
1041         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1042         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1043         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1044         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1045
1046         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1047
1048         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1049
1050         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1051         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1052         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1053         an alist.
1054
1055         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1056
1057         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1058         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1059         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1060         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1061         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1062         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1063         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1064         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1065         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1066         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1067         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1068
1069         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1070
1071         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1072         peeked from the stream.
1073         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1074         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1075         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1076
1077         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1080         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1081
1082         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1083
1084         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1085         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1086         exiting repl with single control-D.
1087
1088         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1091         error catching loop after quit received.
1092         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1093
1094         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1095         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1096         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1097
1098         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1099         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1100         boot-9.scm.
1101         * popen.scm: new file.
1102
1103 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

1111         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1112
1113 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1114
1115         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1116         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1117         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1118         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1119         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1120
1121 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1122

1126         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1127
1128         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1129         Guile's module system.
1130
1131         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1132         changes:
1133         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1134         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1135         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1136         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1137         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1138         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1139         modern CL behavior.
1140         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1141         '() when the condition is false.

1143 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1144
1145         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1146
1147 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1148
1149         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1150
1151 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1154         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1155         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1156
1157 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1158
1159         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1160         argument order for hash-fold.
1161
1162 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1163
1164         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1165         resolve-module.
1166         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1167         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1168
1169         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1170         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1171         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1172         has been added to the load path).
1173
1174         Use try-load-module.
1175
1176 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1177
1178         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1179         module between system and user state.
1180
1181 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182
1183         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1184
1185         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1186         definition.
1187
1188 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1189
1190         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1191         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1192         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1193
1194 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1195
1196         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1197         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1198         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1199         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1200         stack frame encountered.
1201
1202         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1203         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1204         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1205         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1206         list).]
1207
1208         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1209         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1210         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1211         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1212         please tell me!]
1213
1214         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1215         define-module switches:
1216
1217         (define-module (foo)
1218           :no-backtrace)
1219
1220         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1221         modules.
1222
1223         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1224         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1225         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1226         module it is a system frame.
1227
1228         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1229         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1230         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1231         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1232         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1233
1234         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1235         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1236         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1237         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1238         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1239         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1240
1241         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1242         status of a module.;
1243         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1244         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1245
1246         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1247         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1248         closure to the module.
1249
1250         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1251
1252 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1253
1254         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1255
1256 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1257
1258         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1259
1260 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1261
1262         Fix from Russ McManus:
1263         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1264         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1265         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1266         either an optional or required value.
1267
1268 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1269
1270         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1271
1272         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1273         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1274
1275         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1276         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1277         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1278         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1279
1280 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1281
1282         * optargs.scm: New file.
1283         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1284         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1285
1286 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1287
1288         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1289         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1290         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1291
1292 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1293
1294         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1295         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1296         for isn't loaded.
1297
1298 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1299
1300         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1301
1302 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1303
1304         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1305         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1306         applied to the module itself.
1307
1308 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1309
1310         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1311
1312         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1313         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1314
1315 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1316
1317         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1318
1319 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1320
1321         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1322
1323 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1324
1325         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1326         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1327
1328 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1331         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1332         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1333         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1334         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1335         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1336         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1337
1338 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1339
1340         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1341         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1342
1343 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1344
1345         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1346         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1347         static libraries.
1348
1349 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1350
1351         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1352
1353 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1356
1357 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1358
1359         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1360         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1361         adapt to the new hooks.
1362
1363 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1364
1365         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1366         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1367         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1368         code.
1369         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1370         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1371
1372         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1373         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1374         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1375         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1376         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1377         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1378         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1379         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1380         first to register linked modules.
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1383         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1384         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1387         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1388         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1389         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1390
1391         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1392         to use from C:
1393         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1394         libguile/feature.c.
1395
1396         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1397         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1398         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1399
1400 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1401
1402         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1403         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1404         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1405
1406 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1409         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1410         result of the last form.
1411
1412 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1413
1414         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1415         syncase.scm.
1416
1417         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1418
1419         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1420         readline-set!: New options interface.
1421
1422         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1423
1424 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1425
1426         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1427         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1428
1429 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1430
1431         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1432         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1433
1434 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1437         interactive session.
1438         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1439
1440         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1441         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1442
1443 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1444
1445         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1446
1447 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1448
1449         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1450         read line was empty.
1451
1452 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1453
1454         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1455         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1456
1457         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1458
1459         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1460         problem.  Duh.
1461         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1462         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1463         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1464
1465         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1466         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1467         into...
1468         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1469         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1470         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1471
1472         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1473         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1474         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1475         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1476         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1477         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1478         psyntax.ss.
1479         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1480
1481         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1482         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1485
1486         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1487         and short vectors #h(...).
1488
1489 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1490
1491         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1492         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1493         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1494
1495 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1496
1497         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1498         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1499         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1500
1501 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1502
1503         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1504         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1505
1506         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1507         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1508         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1509         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1510
1511 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1512
1513         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1514         trace flag.
1515
1516         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1517         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1518         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1519         context with traps enabled.
1520
1521 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1522
1523         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1524         module.
1525         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1526
1527 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1528
1529         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1530         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1531         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1532         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1533         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1534
1535 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1536
1537         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1538         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1539
1540 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1541
1542         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1543
1544 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1545
1546         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1547
1548 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1549
1550         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1551
1552 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1553
1554         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1555         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1556
1557 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1558
1559         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1560         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1561         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1562         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1563         Archibald.)
1564
1565         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1566         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1567         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1568
1569 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1570
1571         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1572         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1573         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1574         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1575         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1576         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1577         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1578
1579 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1580
1581         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1582
1583 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1586         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1587         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1588         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1589         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1590         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1591
1592 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1593
1594         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1595         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1596         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1597         Steven G. Johnson.)
1598
1599 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1600
1601         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1602
1603 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1604
1605         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1606
1607 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1608
1609         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1610         be completed.
1611
1612 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1613
1614         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1615
1616 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1617
1618         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1619         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1620
1621 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1622
1623         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1624         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1625         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1626         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1627         transformer.
1628         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1629         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1630
1631 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1632
1633         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1634
1635 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1636
1637         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1638         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1639         completion.
1640
1641         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1642         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1643
1644         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1645         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1646         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1647
1648         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1649
1650 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1651
1652         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1653
1654         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1655         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1656
1657 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1658
1659         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1660
1661 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1662
1663         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1664         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1665
1666         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1667
1668         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1669         obsolete.
1670
1671 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1672
1673         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1674         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1675
1676 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1677
1678         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1679
1680 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1681
1682         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1683         Stachowiak.)
1684
1685 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1686
1687         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1688         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1689         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1690         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1691         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1692         threads.
1693
1694 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1695
1696         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1697         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1698         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1699
1700 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1701
1702         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1703
1704         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1705         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1706
1707 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1708
1709         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1710         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1711         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1712         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1713         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1714         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1715         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1716         to go here.
1717
1718 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1719
1720         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1721         is now a fluid.
1722
1723 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1726         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1727         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1728         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1729         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1730         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1731
1732 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1733
1734         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1735         usefully so they will work from a script.
1736
1737 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1740         neighborhood of the record code.
1741
1742 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1743
1744         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1745         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1746         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1747         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1748
1749 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1750
1751         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1752         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1753         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1754
1755 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1756
1757         Add support for readline function.
1758         * readline.scm: New module.
1759         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1760         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1761         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1762         anything.
1763         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1764         repl-reader to use them.
1765         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1766
1767         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1768
1769 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1770
1771         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1772         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1773
1774 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1775
1776         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1777         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1778         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1779
1780 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1781
1782         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1783         #f, abort terminates the process.
1784         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1785         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1786
1787 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1788
1789         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1790         print-state, throw it away.
1791
1792 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1793
1794         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1795         `0'.
1796
1797 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1800         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1801         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1802         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1803         user field).
1804         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1805         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1806
1807 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1810
1811 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1812
1813         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1814         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1815         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1816         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1817         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1818         boot-9.scm.
1819         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1820         distribution and installation.
1821         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1822
1823 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1824
1825         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1826
1827 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1828
1829         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1830         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1831         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1832
1833         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1834         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1835         symbol.

1845         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1846         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1847         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1848         field a separate argument.
1849
1850         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1851

1855
1856         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1865
1866         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1867         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1868         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1869         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1870         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1871         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1872         registered.
1873         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1874         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1875         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1876         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1877         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1890
1891         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1892
1893         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1894         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1895         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1896         expansion inside the slib module.
1897
1898         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1906         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1907
1908         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1909         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1910         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1911         source.
1912         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1913         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1914         been loaded.
1915
1916 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1926         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1927         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1928         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1929         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1930         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1931         module.
1932         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1933
1934 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1935
1936         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1937
1938         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1939         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1940         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1941         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1942         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

1945         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

1947         syncase macros.
1948         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1949         the syncase interface.
1950
1951 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1952
1953         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1954         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1955         workings of the current module system).
1956
1957 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1958
1959         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

1970
1971         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1972         according to the following priorities:
1973         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1974         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1975         3. tcl bindings
1976         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1977         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1978         (new-interpreter): New function.
1979
1980         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1981         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1982         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1999
2000         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2001         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2002         source!
2003
2004 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2011         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2012         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2013         in stack-ref).
2014
2015         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2016         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2017         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2018         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2019         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2020         result protocol;

2035
2036         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2037         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2038         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2039
2040         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2041
2042         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2043         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

2057
2058         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2059         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2060         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2061
2062         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2063         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2064         the top.
2065
2066         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2067         order to narrow it correctly.
2068         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2077         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

2079 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2080
2081         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2082         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2083
2084 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2085
2086         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2087         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2088         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2089
2090 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2102
2103 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2104
2105         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2106         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2107         a default of /.
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2110

2114         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

2118         make-regexp.

2121
2122         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2123         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2124         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2125         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2126         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2127         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2128
2129         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2130         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2131         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2132         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2133
2134 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2135
2136         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2137         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2138         sending in bug reports.
2139         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2140         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2141         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2142         display a warning if the two are different.
2143         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2144         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2145         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2146
2147 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2153         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2154         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2155
2156         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2157         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2158         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2159         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2160         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2161         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2162         that's okay.
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2165         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2166         regexp interface.
2167
2168         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2169         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2170
2171         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2172         function names.
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2175         fixes.
2176
2177 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2178
2179         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2180         ../configure.in.
2181
2182 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2183
2184         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2185         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2186
2187 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2188
2189         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2190         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2191         to support printing of structures.
2192         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2193         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2194         commented out printing code.
2195         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2196         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2197
2198 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2199
2200         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2201
2202 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2203
2204         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2205         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2206         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2207         during call to scm-style-repl.
2208
2209 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2210
2211         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2212         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2213         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2214         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2215         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2216
2217 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2218
2219         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2220         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2221         (ice-9 regex).
2222
2223 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2224
2225         * regex.scm: New file.
2226         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2227         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2228
2229 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2230
2231         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2232         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2233         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2234         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2235

2237
2238         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2239         in 1997.
2240
2241 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2242
2243         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2244         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2245         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2246
2247 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2248
2249         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2250         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2251         here.
2252
2253 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2254
2255         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2256
2257 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2258
2259         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2260
2261 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2264         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2265         fixes this too.
2266
2267 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2270         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2271         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2272
2273 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2274
2275         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2276         the Scheme code like code yet.
2277         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2278
2279 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2280
2281         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2282         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2283         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2284
2285 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2286
2287         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2288         use-modules macro
2289         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2290         can't be found.
2291
2292 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2293
2294         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2295
2296 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2297
2298         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2299
2300         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2301         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2302         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2303
2304 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2305
2306         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2307         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2308         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2309
2310         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2311         no plugins.
2312         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2313         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2314
2315 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2316
2317         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2318         functions.
2319
2320 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2321
2322         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2323
2324 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2325
2326         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2327         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2328
2329 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2330
2331         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2332         instead of in libguile.
2333         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2334         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2335
2336 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2339         procedures.
2340         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2341         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2342
2343 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2344
2345         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2346         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2347
2348 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2351         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2352         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2353         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2354
2355 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2356
2357         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2358         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2359
2360 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2361
2362         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2363
2364 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2367         keywords and symbols.
2368
2369 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2370
2371         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2372
2373         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2374         Don't define read-sharp.
2375
2376         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2377         (read-sharp): removed.
2378         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2379         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2380
2381 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2384
2385         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2386         primitive procedure.)
2387
2388         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2389         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2390
2391 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2392
2393         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2394
2395 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2396
2397         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2398
2399 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2400
2401         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2402         read gets EOF.
2403         * (exit): alias for quit.
2404
2405 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2406
2407         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2408         return the quit args.
2409         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2410         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2411         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2412
2413         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2414
2415 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2416
2417         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2418
2419         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2420         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2421
2422         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2423         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2424
2425         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2426         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2427         of handlers.
2428
2429 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2430
2431         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2432
2433         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2434         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2435         Change hooks to use these functions.
2436
2437         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2438         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2439         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2440         the source! :-)
2441         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2442         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2443         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2444         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2445         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2446         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2447         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2448         traced.
2449
2450         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2451         and exit-frame exceptions.
2452
2453         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2454         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2455         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2456         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2457         result; otherwise display "> ".
2458         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2459
2460         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2461         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2462         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2463         repository version runnable.
2464
2465 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2466
2467         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2468         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2469         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2470         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2471         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2472         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2473
2474 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2475
2476         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2477         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2478         and eval.
2479         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2480         "defined?".
2481         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2482         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2483
2484 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2485
2486         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2487
2488 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2489
2490         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2491         %read-sharp layer.
2492
2493 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2494
2495         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2496         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2497
2498 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2499
2500         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2501         backtrace.c.)
2502
2503 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2504
2505         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2506         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2507
2508 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2509
2510         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2513         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2514         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2515         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2516         dynamic linking of modules.
2517         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2518         after failing to load it as Scheme code.

2522         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2523
2524 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2525
2526         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2527         that's what it is.
2528
2529         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2530         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2531         was false.
2532
2533 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2534
2535         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2536         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2537         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2538
2539 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2540
2541         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2542         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2543         yet.
2544
2545 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2546
2547         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2548         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2549         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2550
2551 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2552
2553         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2554         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2555         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2556         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2557
2558         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2559         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2560         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2561         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2562         (such as the-scm-module).
2563
2564 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2565
2566         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2567         %search-load-path.
2568
2569 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2570
2571         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2572         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2573         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2574
2575 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2576
2577         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2578         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2579         function, use it accordingly.
2580
2581 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2582
2583         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2584         function of no arguments.
2585         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2586         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2587         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2588         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2589         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2590         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2591         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2592         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2593
2594 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2595
2596         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2597         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2598
2599 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2600
2601         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2602         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2603         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2604         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2605         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2606
2607         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2608         `*features*'.
2609
2610         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2611         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2612         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2613         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2614
2615         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2616
2617         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2618
2619         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2620         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2621         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2622
2623         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2624         error.
2625
2626         Added `before-read-hook'.
2627
2628         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2629
2630         (provide): New function.
2631
2632         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2633         in backtraces.
2634
2635         (backtrace): New function.
2636
2637         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2638         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2639         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2640         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2641         is found in operator position in a frame.
2642
2643         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2644         by default.
2645
2646         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2647         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2648         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2649
2650         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2651
2652         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2653
2654         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2655
2656         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2657
2658 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2659
2660         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2663         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2664
2665         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2666         so they'll get distributed.
2667
2668         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2669         should see as little clutter as possible.
2670         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2671         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2672         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2673
2674         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2675         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2676         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2677         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2678         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2679         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2680         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2681         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2682         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2683         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2684         that are not.
2685         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2686         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2687
2688         * test.scm: New file.
2689
2690         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2691         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2692         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2693
2694         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2695         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2696
2697         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2698         work now.
2699         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2700         call %load-announce.
2701
2702 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2705         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2706         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2707         components.
2708         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2709
2710 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2711
2712         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2713         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2714         SCSH (which this isn't).
2715
2716 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2717
2718         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2719
2720 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2721
2722         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2723         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2724         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2725         these.
2726         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2727         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2728         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2729         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2730         save-stack.
2731
2732 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2733
2734         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2735
2736         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2737
2738         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2739         error-catching-loop.
2740         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2741         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2742         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2743
2744         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2745         error-catching-loop.
2746
2747 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2748
2749         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2750         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2751         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2752         should be '(), not #f.
2753
2754         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2755         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2756
2757 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2758
2759         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2760         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2761         error-signal.
2762
2763 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2764
2765         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2766         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2767         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2768         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2769
2770 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2771
2772         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2773
2774 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2775
2776         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2777
2778         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2779         throw-handler-default.
2780         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2781         reported.
2782         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2783         acro.
2784         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2785         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2786
2787 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2788
2789         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2790         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2791         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2792         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2793
2794 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2795
2796         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2797         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2798         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2799         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2800         ...))
2801         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2802         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2803         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2804         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2805         file-is-directory?
2806
2807 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2808
2809         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2810
2811         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2812         distribution.
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2815         `switch-repl'.
2816
2817         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2818
2819 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2820
2821         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2822         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2823
2824 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2825
2826         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2827
2828         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2829
2830 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2831
2832         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2833         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2834         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2835         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2836         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2837
2838         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2839         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2840         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2841         they seem redundant.
2842         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2843         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2844         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2845         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2846         directly files starting with "/").
2847         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2848         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2849
2850         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2851
2852 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2853
2854         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2855         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2856         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2857         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2858         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2859         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2860         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more

2926
2927         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2928         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other

2968         for these.
