11 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
13 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
14 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
15 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
17 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
19 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
20 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
22 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

26 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
28 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
32 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
34 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
35 last-command fluid is not yet set.
37 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
39 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
41 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
42 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
43 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
45 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
47 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
48 handle :use-syntax correctly.
50 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
52 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
55 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
57 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in

60 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
61 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
63 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
65 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
66 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
67 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
69 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
71 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
72 primitives. Thanks Neil!
74 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
76 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
77 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
78 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
79 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
81 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
82 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
83 since there aren't definitions for them.

86 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
88 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
90 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
91 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
93 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
95 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
96 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
98 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
100 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
101 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
102 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
104 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
106 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
108 * tags.scm: Removed file.
110 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
112 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
113 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
115 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
116 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
117 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
120 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
122 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
123 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
125 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
127 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
128 Don't reset trace-level to 0.

146 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
148 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
149 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
151 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
154 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
155 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
156 No longer require `pretty-print'.
158 (slib:error): Delete.
159 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
161 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
166 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
170 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
172 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
173 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
174 rdelim) module. See below.
176 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
178 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
179 include-deprecated-features is true.
181 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
183 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
186 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
187 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
188 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
190 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
191 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
192 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
195 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
197 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
198 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
199 variable, not just a visible one.
200 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
201 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
202 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
203 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
204 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
205 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
207 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
209 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
210 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
212 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
214 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
215 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
217 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
219 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
221 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
223 Added exception notice to all files.
225 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
226 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
227 importing bindings once in a while.
229 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
231 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
232 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
233 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
234 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
235 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
236 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
237 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
238 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
240 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
241 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
243 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
245 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
246 fix command so that it works.
248 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
249 to access unbound variables.
251 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
252 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
253 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
254 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
255 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
257 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
259 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
260 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
261 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
262 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
263 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
264 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
265 argument for process-define-module.
266 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
267 arguments for process-use-modules.
268 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
270 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
272 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
273 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
274 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
277 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
278 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
279 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
281 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

308 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
310 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
311 * match.scm: Likewise.
312 * expect.scm: Likewise.
313 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
315 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
317 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
319 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
321 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
322 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
323 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
324 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
325 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
326 element list when adding "." to it.
327 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
328 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
330 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
332 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
334 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
335 now accepts arg; update callers.
336 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
337 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
339 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
340 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
341 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
342 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
343 `search-documentation-files'.
344 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
345 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
346 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
348 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
349 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
351 (find-documentation): Delete.
352 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
353 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
355 2001-05-15 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
357 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
358 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

372 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
374 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
376 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
377 the magical undefined value.

379 the default default for bindings.
381 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

383 (root-module-closure): Removed.
384 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
385 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
386 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
387 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
388 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
389 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
390 (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
391 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
392 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
393 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
394 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
395 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
396 `set-current-module' call.
397 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
398 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

438 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
439 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
440 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

625 2001-03-10 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
627 * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): New, more general
628 buffered input procedure. Does not assume that a newline
629 character should be interpolated between chunks of input returned
631 (make-line-buffered-input-port): Redefine in terms of
632 make-buffered-input-port.
634 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

679 * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
680 cutting. Makes backtraces work again! Also added a reference to
681 save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
684 2001-02-25 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
686 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
687 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.
689 2001-02-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
691 * boot-9.scm (eval-when, eval-case): Renamed `eval-when' to
692 `eval-case', everywhere.
694 2001-02-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
696 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
697 `interaction-evironment'.
698 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
700 (eval-when): New macro.
701 (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
702 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
703 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
705 (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the

708 fuss (but only on top-level).
709 (named-module-use!): New function.
710 (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'. Use equivalent low-level
713 2001-02-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
715 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of
717 (define-public): Do not use `eval'.
719 2001-02-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
721 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
722 `current-error-port'.
724 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
726 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
729 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
730 `and-let-star.scm'. Updated module name as well.

743 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
744 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
746 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
747 readline-set!): Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
749 2001-01-24 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
751 * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here. it's done

756 2001-01-21 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
758 * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
759 * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
760 read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
761 scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
762 * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
764 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
765 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
767 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
769 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
770 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
771 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
772 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
773 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
774 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
775 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
777 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
779 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
780 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
782 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
784 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
787 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
789 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
792 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
794 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
796 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
798 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
799 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
800 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
801 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
802 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

808 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
809 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
810 make-shared-substring.
812 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
814 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
815 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
816 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
817 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
820 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
822 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
823 and open-output-pipe.
825 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
827 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
828 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
829 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
830 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
831 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
832 Pirotte for the bug report).
833 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
834 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
836 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
838 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

848 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the

856 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
858 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
859 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
860 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
862 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
863 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
864 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
865 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
866 actual documentation entries themselves.
868 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
870 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
872 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

884 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
886 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.

890 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

894 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

898 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
900 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
901 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
903 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
905 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
908 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

931 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
933 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
934 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
935 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
936 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
937 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
939 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
941 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
943 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
944 provided by libguile/modules.c.)

949 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
950 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

954 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
956 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.

962 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)

966 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
967 definition of module-type.

980 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!

1002 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1004 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1005 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber

1032 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1033 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1035 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1037 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1038 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1040 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1042 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1044 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1046 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1048 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

1079 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1080 `proc-documentation'
1082 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1083 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1084 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1085 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1086 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1087 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1088 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive

1104 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1105 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1106 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1107 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1108 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1109 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1110 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1112 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1114 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1115 accept complex numbers as parameter.

1119 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1120 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1122 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1124 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1125 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1126 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1127 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1128 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1129 delete-if! when iterating.
1131 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1133 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1135 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1137 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1139 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1141 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1142 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1143 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1144 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1146 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1148 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1149 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1151 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1153 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1154 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1155 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1156 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1158 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1160 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1161 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1163 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1165 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1166 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1168 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1170 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1173 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1175 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1176 source of the numerous very short changes.
1178 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1180 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1183 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1186 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1188 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1191 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1194 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1196 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1198 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1201 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1203 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1204 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1205 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1207 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1209 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1210 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1211 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1212 Narazaki for this change.
1214 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1216 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1217 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1220 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1221 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1223 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1225 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1226 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1228 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1230 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1231 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1232 use define-public to export from the module.
1234 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1236 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1237 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1238 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1240 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1242 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1244 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1246 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1247 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1249 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1251 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1253 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1255 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1257 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1259 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1260 long_long uniform vectors.
1262 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1264 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1265 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1267 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1269 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1270 script to create generated files like this one.
1272 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1274 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1275 available before using getpw and getuid.
1276 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1277 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1279 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1280 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1281 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1283 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1284 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1285 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1287 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1288 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1290 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1292 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1294 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1295 than 'exit-debugger.
1297 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1298 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1300 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1302 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1304 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1305 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1306 ("position"): New command.
1307 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1308 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1309 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1310 to return a valid state.)
1311 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1313 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1315 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1316 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1319 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1321 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1322 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1324 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1326 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1328 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1330 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1331 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1333 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1334 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1335 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1337 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1340 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1342 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1343 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1345 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1347 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1349 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1350 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1351 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1352 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1354 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1357 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1358 both forward and backward views of the stack
1359 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1360 Use selector `frame-number';
1361 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1362 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1364 Use readline conditionally.
1366 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1368 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1369 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1370 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1372 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1373 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1376 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1378 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1380 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1382 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1384 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1386 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1388 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1389 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1390 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1391 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1392 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1393 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1394 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1395 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1396 libguile-config-stamp.
1397 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1398 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1399 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1400 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1401 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1403 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1405 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1406 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1407 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1409 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1410 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1411 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1412 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1415 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1417 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1419 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1421 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1423 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1424 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1426 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1428 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1429 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1430 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1431 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1432 objects starting with '#/'.
1434 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1436 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1437 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1438 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1439 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1440 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1441 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1443 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1444 module-modified): New procedures.
1445 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1446 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1448 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1450 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1453 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1455 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1456 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1457 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1459 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1462 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1464 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1465 at multiple calls to read.
1466 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1467 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1468 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1469 continued-lines prompt.
1471 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1472 reading expressions.
1474 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1476 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1477 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1479 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1481 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1482 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1485 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1487 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1488 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1490 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1491 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1492 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1493 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1494 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1497 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1499 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1500 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1502 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1504 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1505 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1506 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1507 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1509 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1511 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1513 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1514 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1515 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1518 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1520 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1521 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1522 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1523 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1524 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1525 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1526 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1527 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1528 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1529 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1530 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1532 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1534 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1535 peeked from the stream.
1536 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1537 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1538 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1540 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1542 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1543 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1545 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1547 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1548 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1549 exiting repl with single control-D.
1551 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1553 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1554 error catching loop after quit received.
1555 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1557 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1558 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1559 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1561 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1562 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1564 * popen.scm: new file.
1566 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1568 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1569 (reverse-iota): removed.
1571 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1573 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1574 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1576 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1578 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1579 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1580 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1581 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1582 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1584 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1586 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1588 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1589 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1591 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1592 Guile's module system.
1594 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1596 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1597 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1598 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1599 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1600 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1601 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1603 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1604 '() when the condition is false.
1606 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1608 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1610 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1612 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1614 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1616 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1617 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1618 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1620 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1622 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1623 argument order for hash-fold.
1625 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1627 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1629 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1630 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1632 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1633 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1634 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1635 has been added to the load path).
1637 Use try-load-module.
1639 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1641 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1642 module between system and user state.
1644 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1646 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1648 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1651 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1653 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1654 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1655 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1657 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1659 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1660 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1661 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1662 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1663 stack frame encountered.
1665 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1666 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1667 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1668 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1671 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1672 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1673 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1674 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1677 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1678 define-module switches:
1680 (define-module (foo)
1683 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1686 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1687 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1688 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1689 module it is a system frame.
1691 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1692 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1693 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1694 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1695 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1697 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1698 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1699 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1700 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1701 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1702 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1704 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1705 status of a module.;
1706 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1707 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1709 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1710 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1711 closure to the module.
1713 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1715 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1717 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1719 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1721 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1723 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1725 Fix from Russ McManus:
1726 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1727 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1728 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1729 either an optional or required value.
1731 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1733 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1735 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1736 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1738 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1739 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1740 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1741 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1743 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1745 * optargs.scm: New file.
1746 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1747 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1749 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1751 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1752 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1753 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1755 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1757 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1758 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1761 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1763 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1765 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1767 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1768 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1769 applied to the module itself.
1771 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1773 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1775 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1776 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1778 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1780 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1782 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1784 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1786 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1788 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1789 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1791 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1793 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1794 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1795 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1796 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1797 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1798 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1799 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1801 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1803 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1804 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1806 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1808 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1809 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1812 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1814 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1816 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1818 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1820 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1822 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1823 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1824 adapt to the new hooks.
1826 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1828 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1829 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1830 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1832 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1833 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1835 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1836 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1837 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1838 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1839 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1840 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1841 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1842 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1843 first to register linked modules.
1845 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1846 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1847 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1849 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1850 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1851 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1852 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1854 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1856 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1859 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1860 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1861 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1863 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1865 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1866 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1867 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1869 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1871 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1872 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1873 result of the last form.
1875 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1877 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1880 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1882 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1883 readline-set!: New options interface.
1885 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1887 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1889 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1890 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1892 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1894 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1895 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1897 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1899 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1900 interactive session.
1901 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1903 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1904 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1906 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1908 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1910 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1912 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1913 read line was empty.
1915 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1917 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1918 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1920 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1922 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1924 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1925 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1926 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1928 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1929 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1931 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1932 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1933 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1935 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1936 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1937 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1938 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1939 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1940 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1942 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1944 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1945 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1947 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1949 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1950 and short vectors #h(...).
1952 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1954 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1955 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1956 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1958 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1960 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1961 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1962 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1964 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1966 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1967 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1969 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1970 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1971 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1972 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1974 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1976 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1979 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1980 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1981 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1982 context with traps enabled.
1984 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1986 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1988 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1990 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1992 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1993 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1994 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1995 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1996 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1998 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2000 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2001 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2003 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2005 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2007 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2009 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2011 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2013 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2015 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2017 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2018 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2020 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2022 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2023 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2024 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2025 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2028 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2029 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2030 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2032 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2034 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2035 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2036 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2037 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2038 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2039 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2040 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2042 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2044 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2046 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2048 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2049 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2050 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2051 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2052 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2053 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2055 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2057 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2058 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2059 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2062 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2064 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2066 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2068 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2070 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2072 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2075 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2077 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2079 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2081 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2082 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2084 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2086 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2087 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2088 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2089 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2091 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2092 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2094 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2096 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2098 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2100 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2101 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2104 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2105 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2107 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2108 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2109 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2111 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2113 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2115 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2117 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2118 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2120 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2122 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2124 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2126 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2127 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2129 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2131 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2134 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2136 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2137 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2139 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2141 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2143 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2145 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2148 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2150 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2151 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2152 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2153 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2154 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2157 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2159 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2160 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2161 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2163 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2165 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2167 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2168 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2170 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2172 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2173 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2174 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2175 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2176 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2177 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2178 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2181 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2183 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2186 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2188 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2189 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2190 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2191 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2192 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2193 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2195 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2197 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2198 usefully so they will work from a script.
2200 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2202 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2203 neighborhood of the record code.
2205 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2207 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2208 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2209 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2210 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2212 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2214 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2215 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2216 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2218 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2220 Add support for readline function.
2221 * readline.scm: New module.
2222 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2223 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2224 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2226 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2227 repl-reader to use them.
2228 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2230 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2232 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2234 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,

2239 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2240 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.

2246 #f, abort terminates the process.
2247 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2248 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2250 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2263 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2264 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2265 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2267 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by

2270 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2272 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2274 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2276 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2277 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2278 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2279 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2280 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2282 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

2292 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2293 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2294 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2296 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2297 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2300 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2302 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2304 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2306 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2308 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2309 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2310 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2311 field a separate argument.
2313 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2315 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2317 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2319 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2332 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2333 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2334 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2336 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2337 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2338 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2339 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2340 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

2354 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2356 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2357 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2358 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2359 expansion inside the slib module.
2361 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2363 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

2373 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2375 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2376 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2379 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2381 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2382 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2384 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2386 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2387 (make-module): Modified initialization.

2399 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2401 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2402 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2403 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2404 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2405 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2407 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2408 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2409 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2411 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2412 the syncase interface.
2414 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2416 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2417 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2418 workings of the current module system).
2420 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2422 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2423 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2432 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2434 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2435 according to the following priorities:
2436 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2437 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2439 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2440 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2441 (new-interpreter): New function.
2443 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2444 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2445 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2447 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2449 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2451 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2453 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

2461 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2463 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2464 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

2469 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2470 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

2475 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2478 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2479 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2480 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2481 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2482 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2484 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2485 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2487 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2489 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2490 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2492 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2493 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2495 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2497 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2499 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2500 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2501 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

2505 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2507 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2509 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2511 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

2519 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2521 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2522 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2523 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2525 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2526 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2529 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2530 order to narrow it correctly.
2531 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2538 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2540 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2542 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2544 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2545 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2547 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2549 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2550 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2551 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2553 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2555 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2558 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2560 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2585 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2586 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2587 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2588 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2589 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2590 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2592 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2593 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2594 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2595 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2597 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2599 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2600 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2601 sending in bug reports.
2602 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2603 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2604 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2605 display a warning if the two are different.
2606 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2607 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2608 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2614 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2616 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2617 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2619 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2620 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2621 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2622 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2623 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2624 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2627 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2628 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2631 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2632 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2634 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2637 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2640 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2642 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2645 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2647 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2648 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2650 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2652 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2653 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2654 to support printing of structures.
2655 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2656 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2657 commented out printing code.
2658 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2659 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

2668 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2669 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2670 during call to scm-style-repl.
2672 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2674 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2675 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2676 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2677 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2678 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2680 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2682 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2683 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2686 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2688 * regex.scm: New file.
2689 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2690 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2692 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

2695 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2696 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2697 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2699 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2701 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2704 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2706 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2707 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2708 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2710 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2712 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2713 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2716 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2718 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2720 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2722 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2724 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2726 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2727 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2730 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2732 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2733 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2734 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2736 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2738 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2739 the Scheme code like code yet.
2740 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2742 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2744 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2745 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2746 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2748 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2750 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2752 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2755 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2757 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2759 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2761 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2763 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2764 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2765 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2767 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2769 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2770 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2771 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2773 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2775 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2776 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2778 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2780 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2783 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2785 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2787 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2789 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2790 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2792 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2794 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2795 instead of in libguile.
2796 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2797 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2799 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2801 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2803 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2804 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2806 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2808 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2809 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2811 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2813 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2814 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2815 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2816 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2818 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2820 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2821 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2823 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2825 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2827 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2829 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2830 keywords and symbols.
2832 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2834 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2836 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2837 Don't define read-sharp.
2839 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2840 (read-sharp): removed.
2841 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2842 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2844 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2846 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2848 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2849 primitive procedure.)
2851 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2852 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2854 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2856 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2858 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2860 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2862 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2864 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2866 * (exit): alias for quit.
2868 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2870 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2871 return the quit args.
2872 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2873 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2874 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2876 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2878 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2880 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2882 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2883 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2885 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2886 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2888 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2889 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2892 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2894 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2896 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2897 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2898 Change hooks to use these functions.
2900 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2901 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2902 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2904 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2905 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2906 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2907 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2908 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2909 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2910 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2913 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2914 and exit-frame exceptions.
2916 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2917 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2918 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2919 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2920 result; otherwise display "> ".
2921 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2923 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2924 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2925 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2926 repository version runnable.
2928 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2930 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2931 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2932 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2933 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2934 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2935 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2937 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2939 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2940 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2942 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2944 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2945 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2947 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2949 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2951 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2953 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2956 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2958 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2959 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2961 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2963 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2966 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2968 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2969 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2971 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2973 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2975 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2976 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2977 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2978 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2979 dynamic linking of modules.
2980 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2981 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2983 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2985 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2987 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2989 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2992 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2993 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2996 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2998 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2999 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3000 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3002 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3004 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3005 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3008 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3010 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3011 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3012 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3014 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3016 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3017 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3018 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3019 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3021 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3022 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3023 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3024 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3025 (such as the-scm-module).
3027 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3029 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3032 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3034 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3035 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3036 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3038 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3040 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3041 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3042 function, use it accordingly.
3044 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3046 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3047 function of no arguments.
3048 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3049 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3050 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3051 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3052 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3053 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3054 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3055 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3057 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3059 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3060 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3062 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3064 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3065 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3066 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3067 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3068 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3070 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3073 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3074 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3075 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3076 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3078 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3080 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3082 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3083 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3084 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3086 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3089 Added `before-read-hook'.
3091 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3093 (provide): New function.
3095 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3098 (backtrace): New function.
3100 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3101 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3102 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3103 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3104 is found in operator position in a frame.
3106 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3109 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3110 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3111 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3113 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3115 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3117 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3119 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3121 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3123 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3125 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3126 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3128 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3129 so they'll get distributed.
3131 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3132 should see as little clutter as possible.
3133 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3134 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3135 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3137 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3138 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3139 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3140 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3141 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3142 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3143 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3144 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3145 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3146 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3148 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3149 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3151 * test.scm: New file.
3153 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3154 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3155 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3157 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3158 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3160 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3162 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3163 call %load-announce.
3165 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3167 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3168 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3169 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3171 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3173 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3175 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3176 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3177 SCSH (which this isn't).
3179 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3181 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3183 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3185 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3186 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3187 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3189 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3190 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3191 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3192 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3195 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3197 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3199 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3201 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3202 error-catching-loop.
3203 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3204 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3205 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3207 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3208 error-catching-loop.
3210 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3212 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3213 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3214 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3215 should be '(), not #f.
3217 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3218 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3220 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3222 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3223 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3226 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3228 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3229 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3230 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3231 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3233 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3235 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3237 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3239 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3241 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3242 throw-handler-default.
3243 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3245 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3247 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3248 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3250 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3252 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3253 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3254 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3255 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3257 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3259 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3260 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3261 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3262 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3264 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3265 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3266 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3267 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3270 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3272 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3274 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3277 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3280 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3282 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3284 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3285 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3287 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3289 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3291 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3293 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3295 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3296 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3297 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3298 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3299 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3301 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3302 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3303 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3304 they seem redundant.
3305 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3306 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3307 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3308 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3309 directly files starting with "/").
3310 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3311 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3313 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3315 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3317 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3318 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3319 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3320 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3321 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3322 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3323 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3324 robust to just do it in the C code.
3326 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3328 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3329 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3330 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3331 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3332 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3334 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3336 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3337 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3338 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3340 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3342 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3343 system-error, not every kind of error.
3344 (scm-error): new procedure.
3346 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3348 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3350 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3352 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3353 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3354 of args are supplied.
3355 (%%system-errors): removed.
3356 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3357 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3358 %%handle-system-error.
3359 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3360 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3361 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3362 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3364 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3366 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3367 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3368 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3369 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3371 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3373 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3374 the empty list if they are #f.
3375 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3377 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3379 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3381 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3382 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3383 aborting, just the key and subr.
3384 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3385 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3386 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3388 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3390 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3391 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3392 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3393 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3394 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3396 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3398 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3399 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3400 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3401 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3403 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3405 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3406 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3407 initialize %load-path.
3409 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3410 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3412 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3414 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3415 Add the directory named after the version number.
3416 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3417 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3418 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3419 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3420 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3421 (install): Create the above directories.
3422 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3423 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3425 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3427 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3428 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3429 in the Makefile directly.
3430 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3432 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3434 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3435 here, where people expect to find them.
3437 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3439 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3440 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3442 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3444 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3446 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3447 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3449 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3451 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3452 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3454 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3455 weak-key-hash-table.
3457 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3459 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3460 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3461 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3462 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3463 (%open-file): removed.
3464 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3465 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3467 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3469 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3470 (manifest): Deleted.
3471 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3472 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3474 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3476 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3477 now that they throw errors directly.
3478 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3479 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3481 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3483 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3485 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3487 * The more things change...
