   8
   9         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
  10         #f, abort terminates the process.
  11         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
  12         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
  13
  14 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  15
  16         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
  17         print-state, throw it away.

  20
  21         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of

  23
  24 1997-10-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
  25

  29         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
  30         user field).
  31         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
  32         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
  33

  39
  40         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
  41         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
  42         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
  43         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
  44         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
  45         boot-9.scm.
  46         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
  47         distribution and installation.
  48         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  49
  50 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

  54 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  55
  56         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
  57         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
  58         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
  59
  60         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
  61         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
  62         symbol.
  63
  64 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

  67
  68         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
  69
  70 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  71
  72         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
  73         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
  74         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
  75         field a separate argument.
  76
  77         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
  78
  79 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  80
  81         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
  82
  83         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
  84         vicinity;

  91 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  92
  93         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
  94         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
  95         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
  96         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
  97         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
  98         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
  99         registered.
 100         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 101         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 102         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 103         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 104         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 105         link a .so-file.
 106
 107 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 115
 116 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 117
 118 *       * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 119
 120         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 121         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 122         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 123         expansion inside the slib module.
 124
 125         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 126         constructors.

 134
 135         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 136         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 137         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 138         source.
 139         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 140         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 141         been loaded.
 142
 143 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 144
 145         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 146         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with

 149
 150         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 151         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 152         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 153         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 154         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 155         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 156         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 157 *       (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 158         module.
 159         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 160
 161 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 162
 163         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 164
 165         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 166         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 167         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 168         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 169         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 170
 171         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 172         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 173         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 174         syncase macros.
 175         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 176         the syncase interface.
 177
 178 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 179
 180         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 181         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 182         workings of the current module system).
 183
 184 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 185
 186         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 187         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

 195
 196 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 197
 198         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 199         according to the following priorities:
 200         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 201         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 202         3. tcl bindings
 203         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 204         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 205         (new-interpreter): New function.
 206
 207         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 208         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 209         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 210
 211 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 220
 221         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

 226
 227         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 228         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 229         source!
 230

 239         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 240         in stack-ref).
 241
 242         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 243         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 244         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 245         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 246         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 247         result protocol;
 248         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,

 262
 263         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 264         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

 266
 267         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

 284
 285         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 286         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value

 288
 289         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 290         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 291         the top.
 292
 293         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 294         order to narrow it correctly.

 311 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 312
 313         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 314         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 315         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 316
 317 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 352         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 353         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 354         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 355
 356         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 357         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 358         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 359         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

 361 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 362
 363         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 364         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 365         sending in bug reports.
 366         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 367         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 368         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 369         display a warning if the two are different.
 370         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 371         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 372         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 373
 374 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 375
 376         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 377
 378 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 379
 380         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 381         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 382
 383         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 384         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 385         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 386         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 387         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 388         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 389         that's okay.
 390
 391         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 392         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 393         regexp interface.
 394
 395         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 396         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 397
 398         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 399         function names.
 400
 401         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 402         fixes.
 403
 404 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 405
 406         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 407         ../configure.in.
 408
 409 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 410
 411         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 412         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 413
 414 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 415
 416         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 417         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 418         to support printing of structures.
 419         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 420         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 421         commented out printing code.
 422         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 423         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 424
 425 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 426
 427         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 428
 429 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 432         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 433         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 434         during call to scm-style-repl.
 435
 436 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 437
 438         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 439         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 440         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 441         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 442         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 443
 444 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 445
 446         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 447         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 448         (ice-9 regex).
 449
 450 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 451
 452         * regex.scm: New file.
 453         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 454         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 455
 456 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 457
 458         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 459         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 460         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 461         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 463 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 464
 465         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 466         in 1997.
 467
 468 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 469
 470         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 471         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 472         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 473
 474 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 475
 476         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 477         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 478         here.
 479
 480 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 481
 482         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 483
 484 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 485
 486         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 487
 488 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 489
 490         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 491         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 492         fixes this too.
 493
 494 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 495
 496         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 497         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 498         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 499
 500 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 501
 502         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 503         the Scheme code like code yet.
 504         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 505
 506 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 507
 508         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 509         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 510         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 511
 512 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 515         use-modules macro
 516         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 517         can't be found.
 518
 519 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 520
 521         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 522
 523 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 524
 525         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 526
 527         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 528         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 529         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 530
 531 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 532
 533         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 534         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 535         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 536
 537         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 538         no plugins.
 539         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 540         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 541

 543
 544         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 545         functions.
 546
 547 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 548
 549         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 550
 551 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 552
 553         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 554         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 555
 556 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 557
 558         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 559         instead of in libguile.
 560         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 561         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 562
 563 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 566         procedures.
 567         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 568         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 569
 570 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 571
 572         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 573         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 574
 575 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 576
 577         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 578         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 579         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 580         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 581
 582 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 583
 584         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 585         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 586
 587 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 588
 589         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 590
 591 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 592
 593         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 594         keywords and symbols.
 595
 596 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 597
 598         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 599
 600         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 601         Don't define read-sharp.
 602
 603         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 604         (read-sharp): removed.
 605         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 606         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 607
 608 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 609
 610         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 611
 612         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 613         primitive procedure.)
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 616         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
 617
 618 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 619
 620         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 621
 622 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 623
 624         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 625
 626 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 627
 628         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 629         read gets EOF.
 630         * (exit): alias for quit.
 631
 632 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 633
 634         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 635         return the quit args.
 636         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 637         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 638         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 639
 640         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 641
 642 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 645
 646         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 647         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 648
 649         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 650         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 651
 652         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 653         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 654         of handlers.
 655
 656 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 657
 658         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 661         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 662         Change hooks to use these functions.
 663
 664         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 665         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 666         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 667         the source! :-)
 668         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 669         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 670         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 671         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 672         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 673         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 674         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 675         traced.
 676
 677         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 678         and exit-frame exceptions.
 679
 680         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 681         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 682         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 683         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 684         result; otherwise display "> ".
 685         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 686
 687         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 688         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 689         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 690         repository version runnable.
 691
 692 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 693
 694         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 695         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 696         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 697         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 698         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 699         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 700
 701 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 704         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 705         and eval.
 706         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 707         "defined?".
 708         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 709         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 710
 711 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 712
 713         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 714

 717         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 718         %read-sharp layer.
 719
 720 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 721
 722         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 723         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 724
 725 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 726
 727         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 728         backtrace.c.)
 729
 730 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 733         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 734
 735 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 736
 737         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 738
 739         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 740         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 741         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 742         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 743         dynamic linking of modules.
 744         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 745         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 746
 747 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 748
 749         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 750
 751 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 754         that's what it is.
 755
 756         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 757         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 758         was false.
 759
 760 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 763         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 764         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 765
 766 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 767
 768         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 769         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 770         yet.
 771
 772 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 773
 774         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 775         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 776         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 777
 778 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 779
 780         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 781         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 782         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 783         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 784
 785         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 786         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 787         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 788         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 789         (such as the-scm-module).
 790
 791 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 792
 793         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 794         %search-load-path.
 795
 796 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 797
 798         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 799         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 800         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 801
 802 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 805         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 806         function, use it accordingly.
 807
 808 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 809
 810         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 811         function of no arguments.
 812         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 813         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 814         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 815         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 816         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 817         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 818         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 819         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 820
 821 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 822
 823         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 824         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 825
 826 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 829         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 830         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 831         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 832         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 833
 834         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 835         `*features*'.
 836
 837         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 838         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 839         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 840         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 841
 842         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 843
 844         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 845
 846         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 847         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 848         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 849
 850         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 851         error.
 852
 853         Added `before-read-hook'.
 854
 855         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 856
 857         (provide): New function.
 858
 859         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 860         in backtraces.
 861
 862         (backtrace): New function.
 863
 864         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 865         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 866         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 867         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 868         is found in operator position in a frame.
 869
 870         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 871         by default.
 872
 873         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 874         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 875         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 876
 877         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 878
 879         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 880
 881         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 882
 883         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 884
 885 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 888
 889         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 890         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 891
 892         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 893         so they'll get distributed.
 894
 895         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 896         should see as little clutter as possible.
 897         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 898         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 899         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 900
 901         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 902         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 903         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 904         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 905         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 906         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 907         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 908         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 909         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 910         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 911         that are not.
 912         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 913         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 914
 915         * test.scm: New file.
 916
 917         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 918         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 919         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 920
 921         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 922         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 923
 924         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 925         work now.
 926         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 927         call %load-announce.
 928
 929 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 932         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 933         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 934         components.
 935         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 936
 937 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 940         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 941         SCSH (which this isn't).
 942
 943 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 944
 945         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 946
 947 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 950         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 951         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 952         these.
 953         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 954         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 955         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 956         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 957         save-stack.
 958
 959 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 960
 961         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 962
 963         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 964
 965         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 966         error-catching-loop.
 967         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 968         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 969         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 970
 971         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 972         error-catching-loop.
 973
 974 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 975
 976         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 977         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 978         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 979         should be '(), not #f.
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 982         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 983
 984 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 987         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 988         error-signal.
 989
 990 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 991
 992         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 993         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 994         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 995         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 996
 997 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 998
 999         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1000
1001 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1002
1003         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1004
1005         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1006         throw-handler-default.
1007         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1008         reported.
1009         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1010         acro.
1011         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1012         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1013
1014 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1015
1016         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1017         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1018         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1019         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1020
1021 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1024         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1025         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1026         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1027         ...))
1028         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1029         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1030         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1031         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1032         file-is-directory?
1033
1034 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1035
1036         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1037
1038         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1039         distribution.
1040
1041         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1042         `switch-repl'.
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1045
1046 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1047
1048         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1049         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1050
1051 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1054
1055         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1056
1057 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1058
1059         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1060         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1061         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1062         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1063         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1064
1065         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1066         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1067         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1068         they seem redundant.
1069         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1070         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1071         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1072         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1073         directly files starting with "/").
1074         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1075         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1076
1077         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

1080
1081         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1082         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1083         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1084         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1085         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1086         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1087         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1088         robust to just do it in the C code.

1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1093         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1094         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1095         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1096         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

1101         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1102         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1103
1104 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1105
1106         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1107         system-error, not every kind of error.

1115
1116         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1117         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1118         of args are supplied.
1119         (%%system-errors): removed.
1120         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1121         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1122         %%handle-system-error.
1123         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1124         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1125         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1126         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1127
1128 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1129
1130         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1131         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1132         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1133         %S (embed an argument using "write").

1139         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1140
1141 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1142
1143         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1144
1145         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1146         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1147         aborting, just the key and subr.
1148         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1149         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1150         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

1153
1154         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1155         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1156         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1157         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1158         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

1171         initialize %load-path.
1172
1173         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1174         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1175

1190
1191         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1192         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1193         in the Makefile directly.
1194         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1195         for these.

1234         (manifest): Deleted.
