   1 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
   2
   3         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
   4
   5         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
   6         of the '() key, not `rest'.
   7
   8         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
   9         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
  10         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
  11         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  12
  13 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
  14
  15         * optargs.scm: New file.
  16         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
  17         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
  18
  19 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  20
  21         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
  22         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
  23         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  24
  25 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  26
  27         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
  28         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
  29         for isn't loaded.
  30
  31 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  32
  33         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  34
  35 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  36
  37         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
  38         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
  39         applied to the module itself.
  40
  41 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  42
  43         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
  44
  45         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
  46         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
  47
  48 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  49
  50         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
  51
  52 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  53
  54         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
  55
  56 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  57
  58         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
  59         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
  60
  61 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
  64         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
  65         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
  66         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
  67         among BINDINGS is referenced.
  68         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
  69         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
  70
  71 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  72
  73         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
  74         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
  75
  76 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
  79         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
  80         static libraries.
  81
  82 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  83
  84         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
  85
  86 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  87
  88         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
  89
  90 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
  93         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
  94         adapt to the new hooks.
  95
  96 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  97
  98         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
  99         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 100         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 101         code.
 102         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 103         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 104
 105         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 106         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 107         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 108         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 109         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 110         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 111         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 112         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 113         first to register linked modules.
 114
 115         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 116         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 117         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 118
 119         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 120         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 121         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 122         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 123
 124         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 125         to use from C:
 126         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 127         libguile/feature.c.
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 130         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 131         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 132
 133 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 134
 135         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 136         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 137         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 138
 139 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 142         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 143         result of the last form.
 144
 145 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 148         syncase.scm.
 149
 150         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 151
 152         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 153         readline-set!: New options interface.
 154
 155         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 156
 157 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 158
 159         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 160         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 161
 162 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 163
 164         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 165         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 166
 167 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 168
 169         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 170         interactive session.
 171         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 172
 173         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 174         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 175
 176 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 177
 178         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 179
 180 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 181
 182         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 183         read line was empty.
 184
 185 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 188         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 189
 190         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 191
 192         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 193         problem.  Duh.
 194         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 195         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 196         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 197
 198         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 199         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 200         into...
 201         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 202         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 203         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 204
 205         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 206         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 207         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 208         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 209         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 210         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 211         psyntax.ss.
 212         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 213
 214         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 215         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 216
 217 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 220         and short vectors #h(...).
 221
 222 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 223
 224         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 225         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 226         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 227
 228 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 229
 230         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 231         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 232         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 233
 234 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 235
 236         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 237         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 238
 239         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 240         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 241         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 242         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 243
 244 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 245
 246         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 247         trace flag.
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 250         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 251         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 252         context with traps enabled.
 253
 254 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 255
 256         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 257         module.
 258         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 259
 260 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 261
 262         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 263         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 264         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 265         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 266         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 267
 268 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 269
 270         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 271         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 272
 273 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 274
 275         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 276
 277 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 278
 279         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 280
 281 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 282
 283         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 284
 285 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 286
 287         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 288         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 289
 290 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 291
 292         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 293         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 294         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 295         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 296         Archibald.)
 297
 298         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 299         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 300         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 301
 302 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 303
 304         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 305         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 306         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 307         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 308         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 309         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 310         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 311
 312 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 313
 314         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 315
 316 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 317
 318         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 319         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 320         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 321         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 322         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 323         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 324
 325 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 326
 327         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 328         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 329         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 330         Steven G. Johnson.)
 331
 332 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 333
 334         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 335
 336 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 337
 338         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 339
 340 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 341
 342         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 343         be completed.
 344
 345 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 346
 347         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 348
 349 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 352         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 353
 354 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 355
 356         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 357         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 358         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 359         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 360         transformer.
 361         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 362         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 363
 364 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 365
 366         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 367
 368 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 369
 370         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 371         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 372         completion.
 373
 374         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 375         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 376
 377         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 378         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 379         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 380
 381         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 382
 383 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 384
 385         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 386
 387         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 388         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 389
 390 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 391
 392         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 393
 394 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 395
 396         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 397         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 398
 399         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 400
 401         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 402         obsolete.
 403
 404 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 405
 406         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 407         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 408
 409 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 410
 411         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 412
 413 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 414
 415         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 416         Stachowiak.)
 417
 418 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 419
 420         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 421         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 422         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 423         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 424         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 425         threads.
 426
 427 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 428
 429         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 430         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 431         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 432
 433 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 434
 435         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 436
 437         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 438         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 439
 440 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 441
 442         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 443         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 444         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 445         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 446         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 447         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 448         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 449         to go here.
 450
 451 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 454         is now a fluid.
 455
 456 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 457
 458         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 459         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 460         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 461         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 462         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 463         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 464
 465 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 466
 467         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 468         usefully so they will work from a script.
 469
 470 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 471
 472         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 473         neighborhood of the record code.
 474
 475 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 476
 477         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 478         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 479         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 480         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 481
 482 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 483
 484         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 485         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 486         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 487
 488 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 489
 490         Add support for readline function.
 491         * readline.scm: New module.
 492         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 493         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 494         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 495         anything.
 496         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 497         repl-reader to use them.
 498         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 499
 500         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 501
 502 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 503
 504         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 505         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 506
 507 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 508
 509         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 510         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 511         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 512
 513 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 514
 515         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 516         #f, abort terminates the process.
 517         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 518         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 519
 520 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 521
 522         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 523         print-state, throw it away.
 524
 525 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 526
 527         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 528         `0'.
 529
 530 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 531
 532         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 533         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 534         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 535         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 536         user field).
 537         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 538         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 539
 540 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 543
 544 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 545
 546         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 547         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 548         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 549         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 550         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 551         boot-9.scm.
 552         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 553         distribution and installation.
 554         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 555
 556 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 557
 558         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 559
 560 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 561
 562         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 563         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 564         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 565
 566         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 567         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 568         symbol.
 569
 570 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 571
 572         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 575
 576 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 577
 578         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 579         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 580         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 581         field a separate argument.
 582
 583         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 584
 585 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 586
 587         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 588
 589         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 590         vicinity;
 591         Provide defmacro.
 592
 593 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 594
 595         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 596
 597 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 598
 599         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 600         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 601         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 602         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 603         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 604         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 605         registered.
 606         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 607         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 608         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 609         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 610         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 611         link a .so-file.
 612
 613 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 616
 617 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 618
 619         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 620         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 621
 622 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 623
 624         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 625
 626         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 627         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 628         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 629         expansion inside the slib module.
 630
 631         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 632         constructors.
 633         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 634         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 635         (let): New core form.
 636         (if): Removed from core language.
 637         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 638         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 639         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 640
 641         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 642         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 643         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 644         source.
 645         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 646         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 647         been loaded.
 648
 649 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 650
 651         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 652         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 653         `use-syntax'.
 654         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 655
 656         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 657         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 658         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 659         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 660         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 661         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 662         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 663         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 664         module.
 665         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 666
 667 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 668
 669         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 670
 671         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 672         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 673         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 674         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 675         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 676
 677         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 678         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 679         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 680         syncase macros.
 681         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 682         the syncase interface.
 683
 684 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 685
 686         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 687         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 688         workings of the current module system).
 689
 690 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 691
 692         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 693         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 694         off!
 695
 696 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 697
 698         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 699         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 700         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 701
 702 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 703
 704         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 705         according to the following priorities:
 706         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 707         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 708         3. tcl bindings
 709         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 710         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 711         (new-interpreter): New function.
 712
 713         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 714         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 715         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 716
 717 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 718
 719         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 720
 721 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 722
 723         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
 724
 725 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 726
 727         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 728         procedures.
 729         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 730
 731 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 732
 733         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 734         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 735         source!
 736
 737 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 738

 742         symbols matching regexp.
 743
 744         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 745         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 746         in stack-ref).
 747
 748         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 749         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 750         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 751         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 752         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 753         result protocol;

 760         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 761
 762         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 763         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 764
 765         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 766
 767 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 768
 769         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 770         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 771         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 772
 773         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 774
 775         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 776         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

 787         cstime.
 788
 789 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 790
 791         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 792         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 793         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 794
 795         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 796         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 797         the top.
 798
 799         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 800         order to narrow it correctly.

 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 811
 812 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 813
 814         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 815         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 816
 817 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 818
 819         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 820         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 821         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 822
 823 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 824
 825         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 826         automatically.
 827
 828 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 829
 830         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 831         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 832         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 833         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 834         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 835
 836 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 837
 838         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 839         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 840         a default of /.
 841
 842         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 843
 844 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 847         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 848         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 849
 850         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 851         make-regexp.
 852
 853 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 854
 855         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 856         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 857         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 858         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 859         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 860         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 861
 862         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 863         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 864         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 865         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 866
 867 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 868
 869         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 870         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 871         sending in bug reports.
 872         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 873         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 874         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 875         display a warning if the two are different.
 876         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 877         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 878         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 879
 880 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 881
 882         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 883
 884 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 885
 886         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 887         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 888
 889         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 890         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 891         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 892         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 893         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 894         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 895         that's okay.
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 898         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 899         regexp interface.
 900
 901         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 902         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 905         function names.
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 908         fixes.
 909
 910 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 911
 912         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 913         ../configure.in.
 914
 915 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 916
 917         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 918         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 919
 920 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 921
 922         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 923         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 924         to support printing of structures.
 925         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 926         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 927         commented out printing code.
 928         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 929         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 930
 931 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 932
 933         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 934
 935 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 936
 937         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 938         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 939         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 940         during call to scm-style-repl.
 941
 942 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 943
 944         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 945         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 946         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 947         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 948         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 949
 950 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 951
 952         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 953         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 954         (ice-9 regex).
 955
 956 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 957
 958         * regex.scm: New file.
 959         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 960         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 961
 962 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 963
 964         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 965         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 966         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

 972         in 1997.
 973
 974 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 975
 976         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 977         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 978         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 979
 980 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 981
 982         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 983         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 984         here.
 985
 986 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 987
 988         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 989
 990 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 991
 992         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

 994 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 997         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 998         fixes this too.
 999
1000 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1001
1002         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1003         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1004         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1005
1006 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1007
1008         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1009         the Scheme code like code yet.
1010         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1011
1012 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1013
1014         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1015         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1016         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1017
1018 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1021         use-modules macro
1022         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1023         can't be found.
1024
1025 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1026
1027         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1028
1029 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1030
1031         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1032
1033         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1034         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1035         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1036

1044         no plugins.
1045         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1046         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1054
1055         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1056
1057 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1058
1059         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1060         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1063
1064         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1065         instead of in libguile.
1066         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1067         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1068
1069 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1070
1071         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1072         procedures.

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

1692         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1693         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1694
1695 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1696
1697         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1698         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1699         in the Makefile directly.
1700         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1701         for these.
1702         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1703         aux_files.
1704         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1705         here, where people expect to find them.

1708
1709         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1710         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1711
1712         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1713
1714 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1715
1716         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1717         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
1718
1719 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1722         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1723
1724         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1725         weak-key-hash-table.
1726
1727 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1728
1729         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1730         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
1731         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
1732         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
1733         (%open-file): removed.
1734         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1735         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1736
1737 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1738
1739         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1740         (manifest): Deleted.
1741         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1742         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1743
1744 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1747         now that they throw errors directly.
1748         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1749         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1750
1751 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1754
1755 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
1756
1757         * The more things change...
1758
1759
