1 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
5 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
7 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
10 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
12 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
14 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
16 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
17 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
19 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
21 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
22 similar in use to `use-modules'.
23 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
24 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
26 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
27 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
29 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
31 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
33 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
35 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
36 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
39 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
40 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
42 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
43 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
44 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
46 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
48 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
50 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
52 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
53 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
55 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
57 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
59 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
61 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
62 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
64 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
66 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
69 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
71 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
72 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
74 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
76 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
78 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
80 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
83 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
85 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
86 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
87 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
88 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
89 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
92 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
94 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
95 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
96 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
98 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
100 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
102 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
103 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
105 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
107 * * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
108 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
109 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
110 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
111 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
112 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
113 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
116 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
118 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
121 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
123 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
124 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
125 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
126 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
127 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
128 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
130 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
132 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
133 usefully so they will work from a script.
135 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
137 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
138 neighborhood of the record code.
140 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
142 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
143 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
144 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
145 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
147 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
149 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
150 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
151 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
153 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
155 Add support for readline function.
156 * readline.scm: New module.
157 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
158 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
159 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
161 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
162 repl-reader to use them.
163 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
165 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
167 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
169 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
170 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
172 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
174 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
175 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
176 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
178 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
180 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
181 #f, abort terminates the process.
182 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
183 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
185 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
187 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
188 print-state, throw it away.
190 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
192 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
195 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
197 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
198 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
199 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
200 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
202 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
203 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
205 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
207 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
209 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
211 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
212 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
213 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
214 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
215 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
217 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
218 distribution and installation.

225 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
227 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
228 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
229 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
231 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
232 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
235 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
237 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
239 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

243 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
244 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
245 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
246 field a separate argument.
248 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
250 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
252 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
254 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

265 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
266 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
267 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
268 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
269 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
271 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
272 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
273 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
274 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
275 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

285 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
287 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
289 * * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
291 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
292 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
293 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
294 expansion inside the slib module.
296 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
298 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
299 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

304 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
306 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
307 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
308 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
310 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
311 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
314 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
316 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
317 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
319 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.

332 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
334 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
336 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
337 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
338 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
339 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
340 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
342 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
343 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
344 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
346 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
347 the syncase interface.
349 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
351 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
352 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
353 workings of the current module system).
355 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
357 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
358 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

369 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
370 according to the following priorities:
371 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
372 2. bindings from the-scm-module
374 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
375 disabling the scheme interpreter.
376 (new-interpreter): New function.
378 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
379 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
380 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
382 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
384 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
386 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
388 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
390 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
392 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
394 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
396 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
398 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
399 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
402 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
404 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
405 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

410 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
413 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
414 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
415 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

417 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
419 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
420 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
422 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
424 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
425 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
427 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
428 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
430 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
432 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

456 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
457 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
458 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
460 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
461 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
464 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
465 order to narrow it correctly.
466 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

480 builtin `with-fluids*'.
482 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
484 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
485 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
486 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

521 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
522 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
523 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
524 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
525 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
527 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
528 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
529 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
530 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
532 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
534 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
535 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
536 sending in bug reports.
537 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
538 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
539 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
540 display a warning if the two are different.
541 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
542 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
543 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
545 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
547 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
549 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
551 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
552 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
554 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
555 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
556 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
557 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
558 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
559 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
562 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
563 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
566 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
567 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
569 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
572 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
575 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
577 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
580 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
582 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
583 vtable and not the one of the struct.
585 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
587 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
588 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
589 to support printing of structures.
590 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
591 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
592 commented out printing code.
593 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
594 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
596 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
598 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
600 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
602 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
603 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
604 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
605 during call to scm-style-repl.
607 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
609 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
610 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
611 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
612 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
613 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
615 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
617 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
618 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
621 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
623 * regex.scm: New file.
624 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
625 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
627 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
629 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
630 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
631 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
632 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
634 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
636 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
639 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
641 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
642 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
643 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
645 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
647 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
648 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
651 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
653 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
655 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
657 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
659 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
661 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
662 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
665 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
667 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
668 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
669 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
671 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
673 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
674 the Scheme code like code yet.
675 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
677 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
679 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
680 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
681 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
683 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
685 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
687 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
690 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
692 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
694 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
696 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
698 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
699 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
700 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
702 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
704 Get 'make dist' to work again.
705 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
706 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
708 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
710 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
711 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
713 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
715 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
718 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
720 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
722 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
724 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
725 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
727 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
729 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
730 instead of in libguile.
731 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
732 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
734 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
736 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
738 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
739 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
741 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
743 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
744 sockaddr:port): new functions.
746 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
748 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
749 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
750 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
751 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
753 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
755 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
756 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
758 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
760 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
762 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
764 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
765 keywords and symbols.
767 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
769 * slib.scm: update read usage.
771 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
772 Don't define read-sharp.
774 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
775 (read-sharp): removed.
776 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
777 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
779 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
781 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
783 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
784 primitive procedure.)
786 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
787 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
789 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
791 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
793 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
795 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
797 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
799 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
801 * (exit): alias for quit.
803 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
805 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
806 return the quit args.
807 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
808 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
809 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
811 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
813 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
815 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
817 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
818 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
820 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
821 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
823 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
824 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
827 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
829 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
831 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
832 (add-hooks!): New macro.
833 Change hooks to use these functions.
835 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
836 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
837 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
839 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
840 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
841 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
842 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
843 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
844 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
845 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
848 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
849 and exit-frame exceptions.
851 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
852 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
853 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
854 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
855 result; otherwise display "> ".
856 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
858 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
859 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
860 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
861 repository version runnable.
863 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
865 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
866 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
867 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
868 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
869 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
870 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
872 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
874 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
875 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
877 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
879 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
880 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
882 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
884 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
886 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
888 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
891 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
893 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
894 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
896 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
898 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
901 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
903 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
904 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
906 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
908 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
910 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
911 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
912 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
913 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
914 dynamic linking of modules.
915 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
916 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
918 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
920 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
922 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
924 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
927 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
928 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
931 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
933 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
934 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
935 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
937 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
939 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
940 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
943 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
945 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
946 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
947 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
949 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
951 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
952 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
953 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
954 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
956 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
957 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
958 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
959 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
960 (such as the-scm-module).
962 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
964 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
967 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
969 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
970 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
971 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
973 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
975 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
976 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
977 function, use it accordingly.
979 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
981 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
982 function of no arguments.
983 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
984 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
985 set-current-module): Uses changed.
986 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
987 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
988 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
989 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
990 *top-level-eval-closure*.
992 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
994 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
995 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
997 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
999 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1000 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1001 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1002 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1003 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1005 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1008 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1009 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1010 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1011 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1013 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1015 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1017 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1018 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1019 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1021 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1024 Added `before-read-hook'.
1026 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1028 (provide): New function.
1030 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1033 (backtrace): New function.
1035 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1036 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1037 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1038 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1039 is found in operator position in a frame.
1041 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1044 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1045 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1046 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1048 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1050 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1052 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1054 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1056 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1058 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1060 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1061 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1063 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1064 so they'll get distributed.
1066 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1067 should see as little clutter as possible.
1068 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1069 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1070 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1072 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1073 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1074 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1075 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1076 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1077 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1078 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1079 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1080 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1081 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1083 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1084 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1086 * test.scm: New file.
1088 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1089 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1090 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1092 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1093 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1095 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1097 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1098 call %load-announce.
1100 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1102 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1103 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1104 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1106 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1108 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1110 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1111 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1112 SCSH (which this isn't).
1114 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1116 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1118 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1120 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1121 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1122 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1124 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1125 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1126 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1127 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1130 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1132 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1134 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1136 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1137 error-catching-loop.
1138 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1139 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1140 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1142 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1143 error-catching-loop.
1145 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1147 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1148 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1149 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1150 should be '(), not #f.
1152 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1153 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1155 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1157 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1158 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1161 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1163 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1164 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1165 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1166 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1168 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1170 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1172 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1174 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1176 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1177 throw-handler-default.
1178 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1180 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1182 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1183 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1185 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1187 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1188 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1189 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1190 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1192 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1194 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1195 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1196 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1197 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1199 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1200 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1201 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1202 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1205 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1207 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1209 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1212 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1215 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1217 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1219 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1220 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1222 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1224 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1226 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1228 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1230 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1231 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1232 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1233 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1234 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1236 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1237 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1238 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1239 they seem redundant.
1240 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1241 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1242 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1243 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1244 directly files starting with "/").
1245 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1246 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1248 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1250 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1252 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1253 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1254 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1255 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1256 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1257 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1258 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1259 robust to just do it in the C code.
1261 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1263 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
1264 %try-load itself was the primitive.
1265 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1266 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1267 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1269 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1271 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1272 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1273 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1275 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1277 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1278 system-error, not every kind of error.
1279 (scm-error): new procedure.
1281 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1283 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1285 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1287 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1288 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
1289 of args are supplied.
1290 (%%system-errors): removed.
1291 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1292 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1293 %%handle-system-error.
1294 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1295 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1296 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1297 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1299 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1301 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1302 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1303 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1304 %S (embed an argument using "write").
1306 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1308 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1309 the empty list if they are #f.
1310 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1312 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1314 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1316 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1317 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1318 aborting, just the key and subr.
1319 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1320 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1321 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1323 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1325 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1326 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
1327 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1328 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1329 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1331 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1333 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1334 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1335 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1336 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1338 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1340 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1341 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1342 initialize %load-path.
1344 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1345 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1347 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1349 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1350 Add the directory named after the version number.
1351 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1352 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1353 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1354 sitedatadir): New definitions.
1355 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
1356 (install): Create the above directories.
1357 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1358 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1360 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1362 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1363 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1364 in the Makefile directly.
1365 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1367 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1369 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1370 here, where people expect to find them.
1372 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1374 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1375 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1377 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1379 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1381 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1382 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
1384 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1386 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1387 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1389 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1390 weak-key-hash-table.
1392 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1394 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1395 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
1396 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
1397 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
1398 (%open-file): removed.
1399 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1400 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1402 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1404 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1405 (manifest): Deleted.
1406 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1407 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1409 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1411 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1412 now that they throw errors directly.
1413 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1414 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1416 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1418 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1420 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
1422 * The more things change...
