   8
   9 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  10
  11         Fix from Russ McManus:
  12         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
  13         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
  14         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
  15         either an optional or required value.
  16
  17 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  18
  19         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
  20
  21         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
  22         of the '() key, not `rest'.
  23
  24         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
  25         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
  26         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
  27         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  28
  29 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
  30
  31         * optargs.scm: New file.
  32         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
  33         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
  34
  35 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  36
  37         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
  38         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
  39         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  40
  41 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  42
  43         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
  44         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
  45         for isn't loaded.
  46
  47 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  48
  49         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  50
  51 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  52
  53         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
  54         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
  55         applied to the module itself.
  56
  57 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  58
  59         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
  60
  61         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
  62         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
  63
  64 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
  67
  68 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  69
  70         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
  71
  72 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  73
  74         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
  75         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
  76
  77 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
  80         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
  81         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
  82         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
  83         among BINDINGS is referenced.
  84         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
  85         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
  86
  87 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  88
  89         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
  90         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
  91
  92 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
  95         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
  96         static libraries.
  97
  98 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  99
 100         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 101
 102 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 103
 104         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 105
 106 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 107
 108         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 109         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 110         adapt to the new hooks.
 111
 112 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 113
 114         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 115         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 116         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 117         code.
 118         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 119         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 120
 121         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 122         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 123         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 124         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 125         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 126         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 127         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 128         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 129         first to register linked modules.
 130
 131         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 132         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 133         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 134
 135         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 136         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 137         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 138         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 141         to use from C:
 142         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 143         libguile/feature.c.
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 146         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 147         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 148
 149 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 150
 151         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 152         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 153         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 154
 155 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 158         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 159         result of the last form.
 160
 161 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 162
 163         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 164         syncase.scm.
 165
 166         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 167
 168         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 169         readline-set!: New options interface.
 170
 171         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 172
 173 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 174
 175         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 176         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 177
 178 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 179
 180         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 181         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 182
 183 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 184
 185         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 186         interactive session.
 187         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 188
 189         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 190         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 191
 192 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 193
 194         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 195
 196 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 197
 198         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 199         read line was empty.
 200
 201 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 202
 203         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 204         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 205
 206         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 207
 208         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 209         problem.  Duh.
 210         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 211         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 212         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 213
 214         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 215         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 216         into...
 217         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 218         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 219         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 220
 221         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 222         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 223         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 224         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 225         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 226         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 227         psyntax.ss.
 228         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 229
 230         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 231         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 232
 233 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 234
 235         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 236         and short vectors #h(...).
 237
 238 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 239
 240         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 241         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 242         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 243
 244 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 245
 246         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 247         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 248         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 249
 250 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 251
 252         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 253         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 254
 255         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 256         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 257         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 258         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 259
 260 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 261
 262         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 263         trace flag.
 264
 265         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 266         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 267         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 268         context with traps enabled.
 269
 270 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 271
 272         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 273         module.
 274         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 275
 276 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 279         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 280         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 281         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 282         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 283
 284 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 285
 286         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 287         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 288
 289 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 290
 291         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 292
 293 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 294
 295         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 296
 297 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 298
 299         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 300
 301 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 302
 303         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 304         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 305
 306 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 307
 308         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 309         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 310         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 311         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 312         Archibald.)
 313
 314         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 315         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 316         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 317
 318 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 321         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 322         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 323         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 324         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 325         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 326         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 327
 328 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 331
 332 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 333
 334         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 335         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 336         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 337         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 338         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 339         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 340
 341 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 342
 343         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 344         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 345         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 346         Steven G. Johnson.)
 347
 348 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 349
 350         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 351
 352 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 353
 354         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 355
 356 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 357
 358         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 359         be completed.
 360
 361 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 362
 363         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 364
 365 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 366
 367         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 368         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 369
 370 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 371
 372         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 373         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 374         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 375         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 376         transformer.
 377         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 378         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 379
 380 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 381
 382         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 383
 384 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 385
 386         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 387         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 388         completion.
 389
 390         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 391         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 392
 393         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 394         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 395         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 396
 397         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 398
 399 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 400
 401         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 402
 403         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 404         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 405
 406 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 407
 408         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 409
 410 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 411
 412         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 413         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 414
 415         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 416
 417         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 418         obsolete.
 419
 420 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 421
 422         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 423         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 424
 425 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 428
 429 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 432         Stachowiak.)
 433
 434 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 435
 436         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 437         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 438         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 439         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 440         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 441         threads.
 442
 443 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 444
 445         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 446         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 447         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 448
 449 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 450
 451         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 452
 453         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 454         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 455
 456 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 457
 458         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 459         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 460         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 461         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 462         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 463         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 464         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 465         to go here.
 466
 467 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 468
 469         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 470         is now a fluid.
 471
 472 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 473
 474         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 475         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 476         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 477         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 478         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 479         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 480
 481 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 482
 483         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 484         usefully so they will work from a script.
 485
 486 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 487
 488         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 489         neighborhood of the record code.
 490
 491 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 492
 493         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 494         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 495         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 496         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 497
 498 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 499
 500         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 501         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 502         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 503
 504 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 505
 506         Add support for readline function.
 507         * readline.scm: New module.
 508         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 509         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 510         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 511         anything.
 512         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 513         repl-reader to use them.
 514         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 515
 516         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 517
 518 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 519
 520         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 521         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 522
 523 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 524
 525         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 526         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 527         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 528
 529 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 530
 531         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 532         #f, abort terminates the process.
 533         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 534         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 535
 536 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 537
 538         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 539         print-state, throw it away.
 540
 541 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 542
 543         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 544         `0'.
 545
 546 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 547
 548         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 549         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 550         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 551         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 552         user field).
 553         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 554         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 555
 556 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 557
 558         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 559
 560 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 561
 562         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 563         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 564         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 565         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 566         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 567         boot-9.scm.
 568         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 569         distribution and installation.
 570         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 571
 572 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 573
 574         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 575
 576 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 577
 578         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 579         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 580         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 583         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 584         symbol.
 585
 586 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 587
 588         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 589
 590         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 591
 592 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 593
 594         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 595         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 596         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 597         field a separate argument.
 598
 599         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 600
 601 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 602
 603         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 606         vicinity;
 607         Provide defmacro.
 608
 609 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 612
 613 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 616         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 617         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 618         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 619         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 620         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 621         registered.
 622         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 623         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 624         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 625         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 626         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 627         link a .so-file.
 628
 629 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 632
 633 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 634
 635         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 636         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 637
 638 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 639
 640         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 641
 642         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 643         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 644         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 645         expansion inside the slib module.
 646
 647         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 648         constructors.
 649         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 650         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 651         (let): New core form.
 652         (if): Removed from core language.
 653         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 654         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 655         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 656
 657         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 658         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 659         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 660         source.
 661         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 662         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 663         been loaded.
 664
 665 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 666
 667         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 668         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 669         `use-syntax'.
 670         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 671
 672         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 673         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 674         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 675         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 676         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 677         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 678         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 679         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 680         module.
 681         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 682
 683 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 684
 685         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 686
 687         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 688         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 689         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 690         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 691         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 694         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 695         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 696         syncase macros.
 697         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 698         the syncase interface.
 699
 700 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 701
 702         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 703         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 704         workings of the current module system).
 705
 706 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 707
 708         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 709         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 710         off!
 711
 712 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 713
 714         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 715         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 716         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 717
 718 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 719
 720         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 721         according to the following priorities:
 722         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 723         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 724         3. tcl bindings
 725         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 726         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 727         (new-interpreter): New function.
 728
 729         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 730         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 731         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

 748
 749         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 750         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 751         source!

 753 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 754
 755         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

 760         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 761         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 762         in stack-ref).

 764         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 765         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 766         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 767         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;

 776         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 777
 778         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 779         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 780
 781         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 782
 783 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 784
 785         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 786         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 787         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 788
 789         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 790
 791         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 792         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

 803         cstime.
 804
 805 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 806
 807         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 808         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 809         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 810
 811         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 812         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 813         the top.
 814
 815         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 816         order to narrow it correctly.

 824 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 825
 826         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 827
 828 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 829
 830         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 831         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 832
 833 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 834
 835         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 836         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 837         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 838
 839 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 842         automatically.
 843
 844 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 847         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 848         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 849         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 850         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 851
 852 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 853
 854         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 855         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 856         a default of /.
 857
 858         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 859
 860 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 861
 862         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 863         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 864         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 865
 866         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 867         make-regexp.
 868
 869 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 870
 871         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 872         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 873         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 874         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 875         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 876         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 879         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 880         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 881         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 882
 883 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 884
 885         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 886         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 887         sending in bug reports.
 888         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 889         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 890         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 891         display a warning if the two are different.
 892         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 893         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 894         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 895
 896 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 897
 898         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 899
 900 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 903         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 904
 905         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 906         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 907         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 908         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 909         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 910         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 911         that's okay.
 912
 913         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 914         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 915         regexp interface.
 916
 917         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 918         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 921         function names.
 922
 923         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 924         fixes.
 925
 926 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 927
 928         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 929         ../configure.in.
 930
 931 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 932
 933         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 934         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 935
 936 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 939         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 940         to support printing of structures.
 941         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 942         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 943         commented out printing code.
 944         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 945         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 946
 947 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 948
 949         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 950
 951 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 952
 953         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 954         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 955         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 956         during call to scm-style-repl.
 957
 958 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 959
 960         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 961         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 962         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 963         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 964         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 965
 966 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 967
 968         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 969         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 970         (ice-9 regex).
 971
 972 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 973
 974         * regex.scm: New file.
 975         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 976         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 977
 978 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 979
 980         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 981         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 982         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 983         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 986
 987         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 988         in 1997.
 989
 990 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 991
 992         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 993         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 994         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 995
 996 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 997
 998         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 999         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1000         here.
1001
1002 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1003
1004         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1005
1006 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1007
1008         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1011
1012         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1013         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1014         fixes this too.
1015
1016 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1017
1018         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1019         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1020         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1021
1022 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1023
1024         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1025         the Scheme code like code yet.
1026         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1027
1028 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1029
1030         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1031         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1032         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1033
1034 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1035
1036         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1037         use-modules macro
1038         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1039         can't be found.
1040
1041 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1042
1043         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1044
1045 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1046
1047         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1048
1049         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1050         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1051         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1052

1060         no plugins.
1061         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1062         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1070
1071         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1072
1073 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1074
1075         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1076         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1079
1080         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1081         instead of in libguile.
1082         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1083         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1084
1085 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1086
1087         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1088         procedures.
1089         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1090         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1091
1092 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1093
1094         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1095         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1096
1097 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1098
1099         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1100         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1101         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1102         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1103
1104 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1105
1106         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1107         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1108
1109 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1112
1113 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1114
1115         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1116         keywords and symbols.
1117
1118 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1119
1120         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1121
1122         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1123         Don't define read-sharp.
1124
1125         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1126         (read-sharp): removed.
1127         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1128         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1129
1130 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1131
1132         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1133
1134         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1135         primitive procedure.)
1136
1137         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1138         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1139
1140 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1143
1144 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1145
1146         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1147
1148 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1149
1150         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1151         read gets EOF.
1152         * (exit): alias for quit.
1153
1154 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1157         return the quit args.
1158         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1159         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1160         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1161
1162         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1163
1164 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1167
1168         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1169         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1170
1171         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1172         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1173
1174         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1175         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1176         of handlers.
1177
1178 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1179
1180         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1183         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1184         Change hooks to use these functions.
1185
1186         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1187         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1188         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1189         the source! :-)
1190         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1191         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1192         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1193         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1194         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1195         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1196         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1197         traced.
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1200         and exit-frame exceptions.
1201
1202         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1203         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1204         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1205         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1206         result; otherwise display "> ".
1207         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1208
1209         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1210         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1211         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1212         repository version runnable.
1213
1214 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1217         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1218         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1219         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1220         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1221         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1222
1223 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1224
1225         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1226         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1227         and eval.
1228         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1229         "defined?".
1230         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1231         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1232
1233 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1234
1235         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1236
1237 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1238
1239         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1240         %read-sharp layer.
1241
1242 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1243
1244         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1245         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1246
1247 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1248
1249         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1250         backtrace.c.)
1251
1252 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1253
1254         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1255         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1256
1257 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1258
1259         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1262         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1263         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1264         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1265         dynamic linking of modules.
1266         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1267         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1268
1269 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1272
1273 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1274
1275         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1276         that's what it is.
1277
1278         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1279         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1280         was false.
1281
1282 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1285         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1286         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1287
1288 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1291         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1292         yet.
1293
1294 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1297         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1298         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1299
1300 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1303         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1304         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1305         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1308         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1309         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1310         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1311         (such as the-scm-module).
1312
1313 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1314
1315         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1316         %search-load-path.
1317
1318 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1319
1320         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1321         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1322         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1323
1324 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1325
1326         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1327         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1328         function, use it accordingly.
1329
1330 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1331
1332         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1333         function of no arguments.
1334         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1335         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1336         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1337         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1338         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1339         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1340         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1341         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1342
1343 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1344
1345         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1346         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1347
1348 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1349
1350         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1351         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1352         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1353         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1354         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1355
1356         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1357         `*features*'.
1358
1359         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1360         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1361         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1362         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1363
1364         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1365
1366         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1367
1368         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1369         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1370         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1371
1372         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1373         error.
1374
1375         Added `before-read-hook'.
1376
1377         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1378
1379         (provide): New function.
1380
1381         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1382         in backtraces.
1383
1384         (backtrace): New function.
1385
1386         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1387         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1388         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1389         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1390         is found in operator position in a frame.
1391
1392         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1393         by default.
1394
1395         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1396         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1397         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1398
1399         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1400
1401         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1402
1403         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1404
1405         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1406
1407 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1412         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1413
1414         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1415         so they'll get distributed.
1416
1417         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1418         should see as little clutter as possible.
1419         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1420         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1421         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1422
1423         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1424         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1425         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1426         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1427         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1428         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1429         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1430         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1431         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1432         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1433         that are not.
1434         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1435         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1436
1437         * test.scm: New file.
1438
1439         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1440         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1441         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1442
1443         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1444         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1445
1446         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1447         work now.
1448         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1449         call %load-announce.
1450
1451 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1452
1453         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1454         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1455         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1456         components.
1457         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1458
1459 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1462         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1463         SCSH (which this isn't).
1464
1465 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1466
1467         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1468
1469 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1470
1471         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1472         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1473         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1474         these.
1475         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1476         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1477         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1478         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1479         save-stack.
1480
1481 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1482
1483         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1484
1485         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1486
1487         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1488         error-catching-loop.
1489         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1490         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1491         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1492
1493         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1494         error-catching-loop.
1495
1496 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1497
1498         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1499         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1500         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1501         should be '(), not #f.
1502
1503         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1504         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1505
1506 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1507
1508         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1509         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1510         error-signal.
1511
1512 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1515         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1516         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1517         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1518
1519 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1520
1521         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1522
1523 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1524
1525         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1526
1527         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1528         throw-handler-default.
1529         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1530         reported.
1531         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1532         acro.
1533         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1534         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1535
1536 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1537
1538         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1539         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1540         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1541         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1542
1543 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1544
1545         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1546         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1547         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1548         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1549         ...))
1550         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1551         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1552         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1553         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1554         file-is-directory?
1555
1556 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1557
1558         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1559
1560         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1561         distribution.
1562
1563         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1564         `switch-repl'.
1565
1566         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1567
1568 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1569
1570         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1571         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1572
1573 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1574
1575         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1576
1577         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1578
1579 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1580
1581         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1582         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1583         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1584         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1585         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1586
1587         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1588         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1589         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1590         they seem redundant.
1591         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1592         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1593         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1594         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1595         directly files starting with "/").
1596         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1597         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1598
1599         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1600
1601 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1602
1603         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1604         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1605         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1606         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1607         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1608         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1609         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1610         robust to just do it in the C code.
1611
1612 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1613
1614         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1615         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1616         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1617         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1618         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1619
1620 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1621
1622         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1623         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1624         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1625
1626 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1627
1628         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1629         system-error, not every kind of error.
1630         (scm-error): new procedure.
1631
1632 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1633
1634         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1635
1636 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1639         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1640         of args are supplied.
1641         (%%system-errors): removed.
1642         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1643         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1644         %%handle-system-error.
1645         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1646         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1647         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1648         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1649
1650 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1651
1652         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1653         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1654         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1655         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1656
1657 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1658
1659         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1660         the empty list if they are #f.
1661         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1662
1663 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1664
1665         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1666
1667         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1668         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1669         aborting, just the key and subr.
1670         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1671         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1672         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1673
1674 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1675
1676         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1677         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1678         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1679         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1680         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1681
1682 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1683
1684         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1685         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1686         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1687         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1688
1689 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1690
1691         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1692         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1693         initialize %load-path.
1694
1695         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1696         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1697
1698 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1699
1700         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1701         Add the directory named after the version number.
1702         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1703         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1704         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1705         sitedatadir): New definitions.
1706         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
1707         (install): Create the above directories.
1708         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1709         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1710
1711 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1712
1713         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1714         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1715         in the Makefile directly.
1716         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1717         for these.
1718         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1719         aux_files.
1720         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1721         here, where people expect to find them.
1722
1723 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1726         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1727
1728         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1729
1730 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1731
1732         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1733         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
1734
1735 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1736
1737         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1738         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1739
1740         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1741         weak-key-hash-table.
1742
1743 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1744
1745         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1746         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
1747         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
1748         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
1749         (%open-file): removed.
1750         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1751         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1752
1753 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1754
1755         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1756         (manifest): Deleted.
1757         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1758         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1759
1760 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1761
1762         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1763         now that they throw errors directly.
1764         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1765         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1766
1767 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
