61 2001-03-10 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
63 * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): New, more general
64 buffered input procedure. Does not assume that a newline
65 character should be interpolated between chunks of input returned

68 make-buffered-input-port.
70 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

116 cutting. Makes backtraces work again! Also added a reference to
117 save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval

122 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
123 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.
125 2001-02-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

128 `eval-case', everywhere.
130 2001-02-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
132 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
133 `interaction-evironment'.
134 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
136 (eval-when): New macro.
137 (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
138 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
139 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
141 (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the

144 fuss (but only on top-level).
145 (named-module-use!): New function.

157 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
158 `current-error-port'.
160 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
162 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
165 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

174 2001-01-26 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
176 This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
177 the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
179 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
180 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
182 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
183 readline-set!): Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
185 2001-01-24 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
187 * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here. it's done

194 * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
195 * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!

200 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

203 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
205 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
206 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
207 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
208 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
209 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
210 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
211 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
213 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
215 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
216 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
218 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
220 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
223 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
225 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
228 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
230 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
232 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
234 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
235 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
236 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
237 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
238 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

243 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
244 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
245 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
246 make-shared-substring.
248 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
250 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
251 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
252 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
253 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
256 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
258 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
259 and open-output-pipe.
261 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
263 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
264 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
265 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
266 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
267 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
268 Pirotte for the bug report).
269 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
270 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
272 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
274 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
275 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

279 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
281 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

284 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
287 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
289 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
292 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
294 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
295 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
296 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
298 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
299 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
300 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
301 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
302 actual documentation entries themselves.
304 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
306 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
308 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

326 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

330 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

334 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
336 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
337 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
339 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
341 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
344 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

362 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
364 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
367 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
369 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
370 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
371 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
372 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
373 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
375 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
377 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
379 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
380 provided by libguile/modules.c.)

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

397 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
398 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)

440 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
441 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
444 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
445 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not

471 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
473 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
474 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
476 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
478 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

513 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
515 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
518 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
519 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
520 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
521 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
522 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
523 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
524 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
527 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
529 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

540 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
541 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
542 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
543 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
544 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
545 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
546 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
548 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
550 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
551 accept complex numbers as parameter.
553 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
555 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change

563 instead of remove-if when iterating.
564 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
565 delete-if! when iterating.

571 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
573 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
575 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
577 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
578 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
579 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
580 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
582 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
584 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
585 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
587 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
589 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
590 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
591 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
592 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
594 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
596 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
597 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
599 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
601 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
602 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
604 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
606 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
609 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
611 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
612 source of the numerous very short changes.
614 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
616 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
619 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
622 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
624 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
627 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
629 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
630 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
632 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
634 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
637 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
639 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
640 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
641 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
643 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
645 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
646 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
647 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
648 Narazaki for this change.
650 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
652 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
653 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
656 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
657 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
659 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
661 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
662 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
664 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
666 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
667 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
668 use define-public to export from the module.
670 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
672 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
673 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
674 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
676 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
678 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
680 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
682 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
683 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
685 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
687 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
689 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
691 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
693 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
695 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
696 long_long uniform vectors.
698 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
700 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
701 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
703 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
705 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
706 script to create generated files like this one.
708 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
710 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
711 available before using getpw and getuid.
712 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
713 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
715 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
716 check for .guile, instead of stat.
717 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
719 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
720 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
721 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
723 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
724 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
726 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
728 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
730 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
733 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
734 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
736 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
738 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
740 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
741 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
742 ("position"): New command.
743 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
744 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
745 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
746 to return a valid state.)
747 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
749 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
751 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
752 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
755 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
757 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
758 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
760 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
762 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
764 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
766 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
767 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
769 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
770 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
771 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
773 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
776 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
778 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
779 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
781 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
783 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
785 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
786 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
787 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
788 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
790 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
793 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
794 both forward and backward views of the stack
795 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
796 Use selector `frame-number';
797 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
798 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
800 Use readline conditionally.
802 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
804 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
805 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
806 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
808 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
809 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
812 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
814 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
816 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
818 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
820 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
822 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
824 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
825 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
826 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
827 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
828 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
829 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
830 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
831 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
832 libguile-config-stamp.
833 * version.scm.in: Delete.
834 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
835 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
836 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
837 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
839 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
841 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
842 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
843 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
845 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
846 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
847 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
848 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
851 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
853 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
855 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
857 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
859 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
860 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
862 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
864 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
865 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
866 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
867 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
868 objects starting with '#/'.
870 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
872 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
873 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
874 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
875 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
876 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
877 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
879 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
880 module-modified): New procedures.
881 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
882 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
884 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
886 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
889 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
891 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
892 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
893 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
895 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
898 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
900 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
901 at multiple calls to read.
902 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
903 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
904 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
905 continued-lines prompt.
907 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
910 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
912 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
913 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
915 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
917 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
918 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
921 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
923 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
924 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
926 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
927 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
928 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
929 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
930 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
933 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
935 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
936 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
938 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
940 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
941 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
942 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
943 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
945 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
947 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
949 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
950 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
951 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
954 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
956 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
957 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
958 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
959 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
960 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
961 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
962 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
963 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
964 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
965 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
966 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
968 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
970 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
971 peeked from the stream.
972 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
973 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
974 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
976 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
978 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
979 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
981 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
983 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
984 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
985 exiting repl with single control-D.
987 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
989 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
990 error catching loop after quit received.
991 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
993 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
994 primitive exit if non-interactive.
995 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
997 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
998 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1000 * popen.scm: new file.
1002 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1004 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1005 (reverse-iota): removed.
1007 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1009 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1010 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1012 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1014 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1015 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1016 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1017 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1018 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1020 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1022 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1024 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1025 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1027 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1028 Guile's module system.
1030 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1032 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1033 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1034 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1035 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1036 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1037 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1039 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1040 '() when the condition is false.
1042 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1044 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1046 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1048 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1050 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1052 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1053 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1054 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1056 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1058 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1059 argument order for hash-fold.
1061 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1063 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1065 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1066 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1068 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1069 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1070 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1071 has been added to the load path).
1073 Use try-load-module.
1075 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1077 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1078 module between system and user state.
1080 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1082 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1084 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1087 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1089 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1090 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1091 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1093 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1095 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1096 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1097 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1098 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1099 stack frame encountered.
1101 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1102 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1103 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1104 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1107 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1108 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1109 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1110 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1113 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1114 define-module switches:
1116 (define-module (foo)
1119 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1122 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1123 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1124 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1125 module it is a system frame.
1127 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1128 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1129 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1130 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1131 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1133 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1134 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1135 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1136 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1137 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1138 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1140 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1141 status of a module.;
1142 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1143 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1145 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1146 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1147 closure to the module.
1149 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1151 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1153 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1155 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1157 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1159 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1161 Fix from Russ McManus:
1162 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1163 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1164 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1165 either an optional or required value.
1167 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1169 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1171 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1172 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1174 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1175 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1176 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1177 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1179 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1181 * optargs.scm: New file.
1182 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1183 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1185 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1187 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1188 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1189 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1191 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1194 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1197 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1199 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1201 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1203 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1204 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1205 applied to the module itself.
1207 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1209 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1211 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1212 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1214 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1216 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1218 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1220 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1222 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1224 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1225 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1227 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1229 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1230 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1231 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1232 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1233 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1234 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1235 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1237 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1239 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1240 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1242 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1244 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1245 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1248 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1250 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1252 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1254 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1256 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1258 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1259 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1260 adapt to the new hooks.
1262 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1264 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1265 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1266 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1268 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1269 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1271 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1272 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1273 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1274 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1275 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1276 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1277 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1278 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1279 first to register linked modules.
1281 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1282 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1283 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1285 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1286 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1287 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1288 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1290 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1292 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1295 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1296 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1297 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1299 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1301 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1302 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1303 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1305 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1307 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1308 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1309 result of the last form.
1311 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1313 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1316 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1318 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1319 readline-set!: New options interface.
1321 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1323 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1325 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1326 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1328 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1330 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1331 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1333 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1335 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1336 interactive session.
1337 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1339 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1340 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1342 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1344 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1346 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1348 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1349 read line was empty.
1351 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1353 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1354 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1356 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1358 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1360 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1361 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1362 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1364 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1365 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1367 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1368 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1369 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1371 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1372 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1373 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1374 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1375 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1376 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1378 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1380 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1381 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1383 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1385 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1386 and short vectors #h(...).
1388 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1390 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1391 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1392 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1394 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1396 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1397 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1398 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1400 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1402 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1403 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1405 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1406 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1407 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1408 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1410 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1412 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1415 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1416 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1417 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1418 context with traps enabled.
1420 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1422 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1424 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1426 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1428 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1429 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1430 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1431 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1432 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1434 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1436 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1437 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1439 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1441 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1443 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1445 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1447 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1449 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1451 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1453 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1454 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1456 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1458 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1459 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1460 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1461 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1464 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1465 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1466 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1468 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1470 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1471 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1472 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1473 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1474 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1475 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1476 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1478 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1480 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1482 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1484 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1485 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1486 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1487 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1488 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1489 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1491 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1493 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1494 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1495 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1498 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1500 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1502 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1504 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1506 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1508 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1511 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1513 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1515 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1517 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1518 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1520 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1522 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1523 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1524 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1525 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1527 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1528 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1530 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1532 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1534 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1536 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1537 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1540 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1541 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1543 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1544 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1545 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1547 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1549 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1551 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1553 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1554 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1556 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1558 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1560 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1562 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1563 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1565 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1567 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1570 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1572 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1573 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1575 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1577 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1579 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1581 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1584 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1586 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1587 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1588 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1589 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1590 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1593 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1595 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1596 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1597 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1599 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1601 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1603 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1604 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1606 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1608 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1609 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1610 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1611 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1612 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1613 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1614 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1617 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1619 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1622 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1624 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1625 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1626 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1627 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1628 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1629 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1631 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1633 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1634 usefully so they will work from a script.
1636 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1638 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1639 neighborhood of the record code.
1641 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1643 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1644 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1645 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1646 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1648 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1650 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1651 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1652 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1654 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1656 Add support for readline function.
1657 * readline.scm: New module.
1658 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1659 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1660 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1662 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1663 repl-reader to use them.
1664 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1666 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).

1708 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1710 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1712 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1713 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1714 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1715 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1716 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1718 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

1730 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1732 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1733 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1736 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1738 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1740 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1742 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1744 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1745 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1746 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1747 field a separate argument.
1749 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1751 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>

1768 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1769 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1770 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1772 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1773 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1774 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1775 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1776 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1790 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1792 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1793 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1794 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1795 expansion inside the slib module.
1797 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1809 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1811 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1812 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1815 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1817 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.

1835 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1837 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1838 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1839 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1840 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1841 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1843 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1844 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1845 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1847 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1848 the syncase interface.
1850 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1852 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1853 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1854 workings of the current module system).
1856 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1858 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1859 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1868 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1870 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1871 according to the following priorities:
1872 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1873 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1875 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1876 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1877 (new-interpreter): New function.
1879 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1880 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1881 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1883 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1885 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1887 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1889 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1897 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1899 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1900 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1905 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1906 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1911 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1914 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1916 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1917 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1918 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1920 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1921 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1923 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1925 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1926 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1928 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1929 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1931 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1933 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1935 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1936 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

1955 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1957 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1958 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1959 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1961 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1962 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1965 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1966 order to narrow it correctly.
1967 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1981 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1983 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1985 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1986 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1987 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1989 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1991 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1994 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1996 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2021 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2022 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2023 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2024 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2025 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2026 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2028 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2029 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2030 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2031 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2033 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2035 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2036 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2037 sending in bug reports.
2038 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2039 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2040 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2041 display a warning if the two are different.
2042 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2043 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2044 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2052 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2053 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2055 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2056 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2057 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2058 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2059 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2060 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2063 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2064 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2067 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2068 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2070 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2073 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2076 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2081 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2083 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2084 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2086 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2088 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2089 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2090 to support printing of structures.
2091 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2092 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2093 commented out printing code.
2094 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.

2106 during call to scm-style-repl.
2108 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2110 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2111 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2112 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2113 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2114 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2116 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2118 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2119 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2122 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2124 * regex.scm: New file.
2125 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

2131 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2132 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2133 threads.scm: New address for FSF.

2140 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2142 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2143 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2144 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2146 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2148 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2149 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2152 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2154 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2158 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2160 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2162 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2163 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2166 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2168 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2169 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2170 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2172 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2174 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2175 the Scheme code like code yet.
2176 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2178 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2180 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2181 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2182 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2184 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2186 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2188 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2191 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2193 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2195 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2197 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2199 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2200 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2201 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2203 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2205 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2206 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2207 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2209 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2211 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2212 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2214 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2216 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2219 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2221 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2223 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2225 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2226 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2228 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2230 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2231 instead of in libguile.
2232 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2233 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2235 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2237 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2239 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2240 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2242 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2244 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2245 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2247 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2249 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2250 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2251 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2252 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2254 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2256 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2257 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2259 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2261 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2263 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2265 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2266 keywords and symbols.
2268 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2270 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2272 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2273 Don't define read-sharp.
2275 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2276 (read-sharp): removed.
2277 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2278 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2280 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2282 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2284 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2285 primitive procedure.)
2287 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2288 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2290 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2292 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2294 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2296 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2298 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2300 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2302 * (exit): alias for quit.
2304 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2306 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2307 return the quit args.
2308 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2309 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2310 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2312 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2314 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2316 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2318 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2319 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2321 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2322 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2324 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2325 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2328 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2330 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2332 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2333 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2334 Change hooks to use these functions.
2336 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2337 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2338 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2340 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2341 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2342 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2343 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2344 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2345 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2346 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2349 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2350 and exit-frame exceptions.
2352 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2353 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2354 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2355 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2356 result; otherwise display "> ".
2357 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2359 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2360 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2361 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2362 repository version runnable.
2364 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2366 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2367 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2368 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2369 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2370 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2371 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2373 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2375 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2376 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2378 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2380 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2381 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2383 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2385 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2387 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2389 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2392 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2394 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2395 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2397 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2399 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2402 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2404 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2405 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2407 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2409 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2411 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2412 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2413 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2414 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2415 dynamic linking of modules.
2416 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2417 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2419 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2421 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2423 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2425 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2428 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2429 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2432 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2434 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2435 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2436 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2438 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2440 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2441 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2444 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2446 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2447 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2448 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2450 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2452 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2453 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2454 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2455 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2457 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2458 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2459 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2460 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2461 (such as the-scm-module).
2463 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2465 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2468 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2470 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2471 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2472 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2474 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2476 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2477 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2478 function, use it accordingly.
2480 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2482 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2483 function of no arguments.
2484 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2485 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2486 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2487 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2488 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2489 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2490 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2491 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2493 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2495 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2496 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2498 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2500 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2501 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2502 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2503 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2504 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2506 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2509 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2510 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2511 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2512 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2514 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2516 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2518 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2519 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2520 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2522 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2525 Added `before-read-hook'.
2527 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2529 (provide): New function.
2531 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2534 (backtrace): New function.
2536 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2537 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2538 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2539 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2540 is found in operator position in a frame.
2542 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2545 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2546 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2547 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2549 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2551 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2553 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2555 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2557 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2559 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2561 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2562 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2564 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2565 so they'll get distributed.
2567 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2568 should see as little clutter as possible.
2569 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2570 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2571 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2573 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2574 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2575 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2576 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2577 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2578 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2579 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2580 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2581 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2582 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2584 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2585 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2587 * test.scm: New file.
2589 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2590 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2591 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2593 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2594 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2596 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2598 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2599 call %load-announce.
2601 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2603 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2604 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2605 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2607 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2609 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2611 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2612 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2613 SCSH (which this isn't).
2615 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2617 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2619 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2621 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2622 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2623 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2625 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2626 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2627 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2628 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2631 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2633 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2635 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2637 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2638 error-catching-loop.
2639 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2640 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2641 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2643 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2644 error-catching-loop.
2646 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2648 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2649 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2650 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2651 should be '(), not #f.
2653 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2654 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2656 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2658 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2659 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2662 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2664 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2665 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2666 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2667 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2669 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2671 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2673 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2675 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2677 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2678 throw-handler-default.
2679 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2681 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2683 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2684 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2686 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2688 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2689 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2690 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2691 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2693 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2695 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2696 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2697 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2698 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2700 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2701 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2702 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2703 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2706 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2708 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2710 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2713 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2716 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2718 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2720 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2721 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2723 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2725 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2727 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2729 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2731 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2732 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2733 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2734 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2735 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2737 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2738 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2739 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2740 they seem redundant.
2741 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2742 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2743 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2744 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2745 directly files starting with "/").
2746 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2747 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2749 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2751 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2753 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2754 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2755 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2756 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2757 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2758 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2759 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2760 robust to just do it in the C code.
2762 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2764 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2765 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2766 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2767 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2768 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2770 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2772 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2773 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2774 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2776 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2778 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2779 system-error, not every kind of error.
2780 (scm-error): new procedure.
2782 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2784 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2786 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2788 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2789 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2790 of args are supplied.
2791 (%%system-errors): removed.
2792 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2793 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2794 %%handle-system-error.
2795 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2796 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2797 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2798 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2800 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2802 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2803 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2804 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2805 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2807 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2809 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2810 the empty list if they are #f.
2811 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2813 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2815 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2817 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2818 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2819 aborting, just the key and subr.
2820 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2821 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2822 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2824 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2826 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2827 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2828 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2829 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2830 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2832 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2834 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2835 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2836 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2837 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2839 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2841 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2842 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2843 initialize %load-path.
2845 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2846 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2848 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2850 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2851 Add the directory named after the version number.
2852 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2853 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2854 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2855 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2856 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2857 (install): Create the above directories.
2858 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2859 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2861 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2863 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2864 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2865 in the Makefile directly.
2866 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2868 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2870 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2871 here, where people expect to find them.
2873 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2875 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2876 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2878 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2880 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2882 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2883 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2885 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2887 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2888 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2890 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2891 weak-key-hash-table.
2893 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2895 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2896 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2897 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2898 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2899 (%open-file): removed.
2900 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2901 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2903 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2905 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2906 (manifest): Deleted.
2907 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2908 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2910 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2912 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2913 now that they throw errors directly.
2914 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2915 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2917 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2919 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2921 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2923 * The more things change...
