1 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
5 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
7 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
10 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
12 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
13 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
15 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
17 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
19 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
20 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
21 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
23 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
24 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
26 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
27 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
28 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
30 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
31 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
32 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
33 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
34 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
35 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
37 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
39 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
40 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
42 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
44 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
45 and short vectors #h(...).
47 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
49 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
50 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
51 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
53 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
55 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
56 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
57 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
59 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
61 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
62 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
64 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
65 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
66 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
67 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
69 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
71 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
74 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
75 order to allow the empty list as arg.
76 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
77 context with traps enabled.
79 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
81 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
83 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
85 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
87 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
88 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
89 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
90 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
91 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
93 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
95 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
96 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
98 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
100 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
102 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
104 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
106 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
108 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
110 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
112 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
113 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
115 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
117 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
118 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
119 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
120 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
123 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
124 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
125 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
127 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
129 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
130 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
131 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
132 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
133 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
134 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
135 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
137 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
139 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
141 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
143 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
144 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
145 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
146 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
147 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
148 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
150 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
152 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
153 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
154 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
157 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
159 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
161 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
163 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
165 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
167 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
170 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
172 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
174 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
176 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
177 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
179 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
181 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
182 similar in use to `use-modules'.
183 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
184 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
186 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
187 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
189 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
191 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
193 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
195 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
196 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
199 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
200 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
202 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
203 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
204 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
206 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
208 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
210 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
212 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
213 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
215 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
217 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
219 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
221 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
222 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
224 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
226 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
229 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
231 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
232 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
234 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
236 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
238 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
240 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
243 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
245 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
246 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
247 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
248 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
249 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
252 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
254 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
255 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
256 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
258 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
260 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
262 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
263 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
265 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
267 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
268 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
269 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
270 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
271 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
272 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
273 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
276 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
278 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
281 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
283 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
284 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
285 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
286 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
287 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
288 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
290 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
292 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
293 usefully so they will work from a script.
295 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
297 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
298 neighborhood of the record code.
300 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
302 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
303 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
304 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
305 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
307 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
309 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
310 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
311 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
313 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
315 Add support for readline function.
316 * readline.scm: New module.
317 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
318 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
319 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
321 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
322 repl-reader to use them.
323 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
325 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
327 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
329 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
330 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
332 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
334 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
335 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
336 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
338 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
340 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
341 #f, abort terminates the process.
342 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
343 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
345 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
347 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
348 print-state, throw it away.
350 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
352 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
355 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
357 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
358 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
359 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
360 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
362 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
363 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
365 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
367 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
369 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
371 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
372 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
373 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
374 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
375 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
377 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
378 distribution and installation.
379 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
381 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
383 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
385 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
387 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
388 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
389 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
391 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
392 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
395 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
397 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
399 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
401 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
403 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
404 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
405 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
406 field a separate argument.
408 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
410 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
412 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
414 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
418 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
420 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
422 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
424 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
425 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
426 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
427 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
428 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
429 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
431 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
432 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
433 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
434 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
435 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
438 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
440 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
442 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
444 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
445 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
447 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
449 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
451 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
452 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
453 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
454 expansion inside the slib module.
456 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
458 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
459 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
460 (let): New core form.
461 (if): Removed from core language.
462 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
463 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
464 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
466 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
467 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
468 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
470 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
471 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
474 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
476 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
477 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
479 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
481 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
482 (make-module): Modified initialization.
483 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
484 mutator for module-associated transformer.
485 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
486 `scm:eval-transformer'.
487 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
488 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
490 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
492 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
494 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
496 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
497 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
498 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
499 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
500 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
502 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
503 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
504 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
506 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
507 the syncase interface.
509 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
511 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
512 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
513 workings of the current module system).
515 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
517 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
518 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
521 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
523 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
524 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
525 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
527 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
529 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
530 according to the following priorities:
531 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
532 2. bindings from the-scm-module
534 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
535 disabling the scheme interpreter.
536 (new-interpreter): New function.
538 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
539 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
540 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

552 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
554 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
556 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
558 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
559 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
562 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
564 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
565 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

574 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
575 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
576 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
577 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
579 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
580 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
582 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
584 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

592 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
594 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
595 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
596 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
598 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
600 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

602 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
604 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
606 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
607 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
609 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
611 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
614 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
616 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
617 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
618 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
620 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
621 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
624 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
625 order to narrow it correctly.
626 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
628 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
630 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
631 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
633 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
635 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
637 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
639 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
640 builtin `with-fluids*'.
642 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
644 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
645 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
646 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
648 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
650 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
653 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
655 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
656 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
657 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
658 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

661 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
663 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
664 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
667 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
669 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
671 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
672 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
673 notation, instead of #/ notation.
675 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
678 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
680 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
681 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
682 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
683 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
684 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
685 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
687 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
688 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
689 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
690 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
692 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
694 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
695 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
696 sending in bug reports.
697 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
698 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
699 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
700 display a warning if the two are different.
701 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
702 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
703 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
705 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
707 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
709 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
711 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
712 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
714 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
715 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
716 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
717 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
718 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
719 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
722 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
723 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
726 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
727 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
729 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
732 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
735 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
737 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
740 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
742 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
743 vtable and not the one of the struct.
745 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
747 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
748 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
749 to support printing of structures.
750 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
751 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
752 commented out printing code.
753 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
754 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
756 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
758 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
760 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

765 during call to scm-style-repl.
767 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
769 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
770 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
771 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
772 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
773 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
775 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
777 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
778 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
781 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
783 * regex.scm: New file.
784 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
785 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
787 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

790 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
791 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
792 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
794 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
796 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
799 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
801 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
802 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
803 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
805 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
807 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
808 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
811 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
813 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
815 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
817 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
819 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
821 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
822 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
825 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
827 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
828 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
829 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
831 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
833 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
834 the Scheme code like code yet.
835 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
837 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
839 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
840 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
841 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
843 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
845 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
847 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
850 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
852 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
854 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
856 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
858 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
859 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
860 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
862 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
864 Get 'make dist' to work again.
865 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
866 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
868 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
870 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
871 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
873 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
875 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
878 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

882 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
884 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
885 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
887 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
889 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
890 instead of in libguile.
891 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
892 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
894 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
896 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
898 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
899 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
901 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
903 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
904 sockaddr:port): new functions.
906 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
908 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
909 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
910 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
911 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
913 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
915 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
916 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
918 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
920 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
922 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
924 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
925 keywords and symbols.
927 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
929 * slib.scm: update read usage.
931 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
932 Don't define read-sharp.
934 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
935 (read-sharp): removed.
936 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
937 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
939 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
941 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
943 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
944 primitive procedure.)
946 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
947 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
949 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
951 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
953 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
955 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
957 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
959 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
961 * (exit): alias for quit.
963 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
965 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
966 return the quit args.
967 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
968 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
969 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
971 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
973 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
975 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
977 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
978 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
980 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
981 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
983 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
984 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
987 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
989 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
991 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
992 (add-hooks!): New macro.
993 Change hooks to use these functions.
995 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
996 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
997 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
999 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1000 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1001 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1002 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1003 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1004 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1005 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1008 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1009 and exit-frame exceptions.
1011 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1012 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1013 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1014 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1015 result; otherwise display "> ".
1016 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1018 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1019 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1020 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1021 repository version runnable.
1023 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1025 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1026 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1027 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1028 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1029 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1030 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1032 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1034 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1035 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1037 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1039 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1040 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1042 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1044 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1046 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1048 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1051 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1053 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1054 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1056 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1058 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1061 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1063 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1064 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1066 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1068 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1070 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1071 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1072 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1073 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1074 dynamic linking of modules.
1075 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1076 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1078 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1080 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1082 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1084 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1087 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1088 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1091 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1093 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1094 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1095 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1097 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1099 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1100 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1103 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1105 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1106 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1107 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1109 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1111 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1112 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1113 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1114 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1116 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1117 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1118 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1119 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1120 (such as the-scm-module).
1122 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1124 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1127 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1129 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1130 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1131 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1133 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1135 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1136 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1137 function, use it accordingly.
1139 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1141 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1142 function of no arguments.
1143 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1144 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1145 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1146 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1147 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1148 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1149 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1150 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1152 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1154 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1155 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1157 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1159 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1160 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1161 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1162 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1163 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1165 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1168 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1169 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1170 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1171 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1173 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1175 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1177 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1178 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1179 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1181 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1184 Added `before-read-hook'.
1186 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1188 (provide): New function.
1190 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1193 (backtrace): New function.
1195 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1196 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1197 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1198 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1199 is found in operator position in a frame.
1201 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1204 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1205 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1206 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1208 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1210 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1212 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1214 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1216 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1218 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1220 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1221 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1223 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1224 so they'll get distributed.
1226 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1227 should see as little clutter as possible.
1228 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1229 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1230 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1232 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1233 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1234 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1235 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1236 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1237 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1238 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1239 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1240 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1241 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1243 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1244 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1246 * test.scm: New file.
1248 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1249 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1250 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1252 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1253 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1255 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1257 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1258 call %load-announce.
1260 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1262 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1263 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1264 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1266 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1268 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1270 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1271 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1272 SCSH (which this isn't).
1274 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1276 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1278 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1280 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1281 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1282 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1284 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1285 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1286 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1287 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1290 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1292 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1294 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1296 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1297 error-catching-loop.
1298 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1299 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1300 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1302 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1303 error-catching-loop.
1305 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1307 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1308 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1309 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1310 should be '(), not #f.
1312 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1313 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1315 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1317 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1318 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1321 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1323 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1324 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1325 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1326 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1328 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1330 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1332 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1334 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1336 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1337 throw-handler-default.
1338 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1340 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1342 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1343 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1345 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1347 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1348 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1349 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1350 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1352 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1354 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1355 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1356 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1357 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1359 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1360 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1361 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1362 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1365 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1367 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1369 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1372 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1375 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1377 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1379 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1380 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1382 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1384 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1386 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1388 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1390 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1391 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1392 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1393 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1394 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1396 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1397 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1398 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1399 they seem redundant.
1400 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1401 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1402 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1403 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1404 directly files starting with "/").
1405 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1406 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1408 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1410 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1412 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1413 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1414 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1415 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1416 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1417 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1418 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1419 robust to just do it in the C code.
1421 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1423 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
1424 %try-load itself was the primitive.
1425 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1426 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1427 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1429 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1431 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1432 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1433 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1435 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1437 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1438 system-error, not every kind of error.
1439 (scm-error): new procedure.
1441 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1443 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1445 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1447 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1448 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
1449 of args are supplied.
1450 (%%system-errors): removed.
1451 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1452 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1453 %%handle-system-error.
1454 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1455 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1456 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1457 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1459 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1461 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1462 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1463 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1464 %S (embed an argument using "write").
1466 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1468 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1469 the empty list if they are #f.
1470 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1472 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1474 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1476 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1477 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1478 aborting, just the key and subr.
1479 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1480 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1481 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1483 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1485 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1486 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
1487 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1488 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1489 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1491 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1493 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1494 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1495 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1496 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1498 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1500 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1501 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1502 initialize %load-path.
1504 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1505 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1507 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1509 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1510 Add the directory named after the version number.
1511 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1512 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1513 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1514 sitedatadir): New definitions.
1515 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
1516 (install): Create the above directories.
1517 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1518 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1520 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1522 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1523 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1524 in the Makefile directly.
1525 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1527 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1529 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1530 here, where people expect to find them.
1532 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1534 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1535 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1537 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1539 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1541 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1542 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
1544 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1546 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1547 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1549 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1550 weak-key-hash-table.
1552 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1554 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1555 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
1556 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
1557 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
1558 (%open-file): removed.
1559 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1560 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1562 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
