  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
  23         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
  24         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
  25         frame is invoked.
  26
  27 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

  38
  39         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
  40         `interaction-evironment'.
  41         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
  42         module magic.
  43         (eval-when): New macro.
  44         (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
  45         restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
  46         (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
  47         top-level.
  48         (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the
  49         defined module.
  50         (define-module): Simply call `process-define-module' without any
  51         fuss (but only on top-level).
  52         (named-module-use!): New function.
  53         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level

  57
  58         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of

  63
  64         * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the

  66
  67 2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  68
  69         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
  70         operating systems.
  71
  72         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
  73         `and-let-star.scm'.  Updated module name as well.
  74         * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
  75         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
  76         "and-let-star.scm".
  77         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
  78         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.

  80
  81 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  82
  83         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
  84         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
  85
  86         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
  87         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
  88
  89         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
  90         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
  91
  92 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
  95         in C for now.
  96         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
  97         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
  98
  99 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 100
 101         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 102         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 103         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 104         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 105         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 106         for now.
 107         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 108         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 109
 110 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 111
 112         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 113         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 114         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 115         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 116         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 117         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 118         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 119
 120 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 121
 122         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 123         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 124
 125 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 126
 127         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 128         any more.
 129
 130 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 131
 132         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 133         the-root-module.
 134
 135 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 136
 137         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 138
 139 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 142         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 143         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 144         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 145         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 146         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 147         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 148         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 149         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 150         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 151         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 152         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 153         make-shared-substring.
 154
 155 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 158         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 159         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 160         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 161         scm-style-repl.
 162
 163 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 164
 165         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 166         and open-output-pipe.
 167
 168 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 169
 170         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 171         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 172         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 173         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 174         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 175         Pirotte for the bug report).
 176         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 177         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 178
 179 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 180
 181         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 182         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
 183
 184 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 187
 188 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 189
 190         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 191         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 192         patch.
 193
 194 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 195
 196         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 197         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 198
 199 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 200
 201         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 202         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 203         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 204
 205         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 206         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 207         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 208         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 209         actual documentation entries themselves.
 210
 211 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 212
 213         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 216
 217         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.

 222         Convert first argument to a string.
 223
 224         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 225         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 226         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 227         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 231         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 240         `symbol-append'.

 242         args.
 243         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 244         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 245         even worked...  /mdj.
 246         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 247         `symbol->string'.
 248         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 249         semantics.
 250
 251 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 252
 253         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 254         form set!.

 276         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 277         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 278         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 279         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 280         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

 283

 285
 286         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 287         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 288
 289         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 290         syntactic bindings.
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 293         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 294         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 295         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 296
 297         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 308
 309         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 310         definition of module-type.
 311
 312         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 313

 316         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 317         lines.
 318         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 319         *after* all used interfaces has been added.

 379 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 380
 381         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 382         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 383
 384 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 385
 386         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 387
 388         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 389
 390         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 391
 392 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 395         '() instead of #f.
 396         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 397         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 398         `the-root-module'.
 399         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 400
 401         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 402         documentation.scm.
 403
 404         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 405         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 406         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 407         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 408         (help): Rewritten.
 409
 410         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 411
 412         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 413
 414 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 415
 416         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 417         (write-all): Removed.
 418         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 419         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 420
 421 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 422
 423         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 424         `proc-documentation'
 425
 426         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 427         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 428         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 429         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 430         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 431         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 432         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 433         getter...)
 434
 435 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 438
 439 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 440
 441         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 442         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 443         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 444         closure.
 445
 446 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 449         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 450         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 451         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 452         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 453         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 454         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 455
 456 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 457
 458         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 459         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 460
 461 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 462
 463         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 464         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 465
 466 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 467
 468         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 469         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 470         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 471         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 472         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 473         delete-if! when iterating.
 474
 475 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 476
 477         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 478
 479 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 480
 481         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 482
 483 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 484
 485         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 486         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 487         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 488         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 489
 490 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 491
 492         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 493         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 494
 495 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 498         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 499         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 500         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 501
 502 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 503
 504         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 505         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 506
 507 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 508
 509         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 510         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 511
 512 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 515         Dirk Hermann!
 516
 517 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 518
 519         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 520         source of the numerous very short changes.
 521
 522 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 523
 524         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 525         public.
 526
 527         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 528         info pages.
 529
 530 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 531
 532         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 533         from slib docs.
 534
 535 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 536
 537         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 538         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 539
 540 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 543         to string-append.
 544
 545 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 546
 547         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 548         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 549         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 550
 551 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 552
 553         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 554         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 555         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 556         Narazaki for this change.
 557
 558 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 559
 560         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 561         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 562         %S.
 563
 564         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 565         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 566
 567 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 568
 569         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 570         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 571
 572 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 573
 574         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 575         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 576         use define-public to export from the module.
 577
 578 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 579
 580         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 581         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 582         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 583
 584 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 585
 586         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 587
 588 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 589
 590         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 591         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 592
 593 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 594
 595         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 596
 597         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 598
 599         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 600
 601 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 602
 603         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 604         long_long uniform vectors.
 605
 606 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 607
 608         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 609         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 610
 611 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 612
 613         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 614         script to create generated files like this one.
 615
 616 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 617
 618         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 619         available before using getpw and getuid.
 620         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 621         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 622         check for stat.
 623         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 624         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 625         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 626         available.
 627         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 628         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 629         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 630
 631         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 632         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 633
 634         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 635
 636 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 637
 638         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 639         than 'exit-debugger.
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 642         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 643
 644         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 645
 646 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 647
 648         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 649         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 650         ("position"): New command.
 651         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 652         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 653         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 654         to return a valid state.)
 655         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 656
 657 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 658
 659         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 660         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 661         Badros.)
 662
 663 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 664
 665         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 666         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 667
 668 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 669
 670         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 671
 672         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 673
 674         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 675         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 676
 677         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 678         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 679         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 680         expression.
 681         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 682         Handle errors.
 683
 684 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 685
 686         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 687         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 688
 689         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 690
 691 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 694         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 695         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 696         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 697
 698         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 699         argument.
 700
 701         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 702         both forward and backward views of the stack
 703         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 704         Use selector `frame-number';
 705         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 706         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 707         Use (ice-9 debug).
 708         Use readline conditionally.
 709
 710 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 711
 712         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 713         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 714         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 715
 716         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 717         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 718         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 719
 720 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 721
 722         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 723
 724         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 725
 726         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 727
 728         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 729
 730 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 731
 732         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 733         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 734         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 735         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 736         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 737         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 738         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 739         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 740         libguile-config-stamp.
 741         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 742         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 743         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 744         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 745         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 746
 747 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 748
 749         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 750         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 751         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 754         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 755         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 756         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 757         readline.
 758
 759         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 760
 761 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 763         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 764
 765 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 768         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 769
 770 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 771
 772         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 773         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 774         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 775         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 776         objects starting with '#/'.
 777
 778 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 779
 780         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 781         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 782         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 783         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 784         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 785         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 786         `observer-id'.
 787         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 788         module-modified): New procedures.
 789         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 790         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 791
 792 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 793
 794         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 795         defines.
 796
 797 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 798
 799         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 800         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 801         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 802
 803         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 804         position.
 805
 806 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 807
 808         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 809         at multiple calls to read.
 810         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 811         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 812         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 813         continued-lines prompt.
 814
 815         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 816         reading expressions.
 817
 818 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 819
 820         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 821         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 822
 823 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 824
 825         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 826         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 827         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 828
 829         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 830
 831         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 832         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 833
 834         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 835         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 836         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 837         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 838         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 839         instead of a port.
 840
 841 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 842
 843         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 844         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 845
 846         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 847
 848         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 849         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 850         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 851         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 852
 853         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 854
 855         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 856
 857         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 858         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 859         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 860         an alist.
 861
 862         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 863
 864         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 865         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 866         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 867         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 868         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 869         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 870         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 871         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 872         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 873         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 874         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 875
 876         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 877
 878         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 879         peeked from the stream.
 880         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 881         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 882         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 883
 884         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 885
 886         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 887         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 888
 889         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 890
 891         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 892         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 893         exiting repl with single control-D.
 894
 895         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 898         error catching loop after quit received.
 899         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 900
 901         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 902         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 903         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 904
 905         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 906         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 907         boot-9.scm.
 908         * popen.scm: new file.
 909
 910 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 911
 912        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 913        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 914
 915 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 916
 917         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 918         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 919
 920 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 921
 922         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 923         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 924         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 925         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 926         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 927
 928 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 929
 930         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 931
 932         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 933         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 934
 935         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 936         Guile's module system.
 937
 938         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 939         changes:
 940         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 941         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 942         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 943         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 944         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 945         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 946         modern CL behavior.
 947         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 948         '() when the condition is false.
 949
 950 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 951
 952         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 953
 954 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 955
 956         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 957
 958 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 959
 960         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 961         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 962         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 963
 964 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 965
 966         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 967         argument order for hash-fold.
 968
 969 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 970
 971         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 972         resolve-module.
 973         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 974         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 975
 976         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 977         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 978         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 979         has been added to the load path).
 980
 981         Use try-load-module.
 982
 983 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 984
 985         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 986         module between system and user state.
 987
 988 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 989
 990         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 991
 992         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 993         definition.
 994
 995 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 996
 997         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 998         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 999         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1000
1001 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1002
1003         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1004         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1005         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1006         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1007         stack frame encountered.
1008
1009         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1010         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1011         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1012         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1013         list).]
1014
1015         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1016         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1017         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1018         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1019         please tell me!]
1020
1021         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1022         define-module switches:
1023
1024         (define-module (foo)
1025           :no-backtrace)
1026
1027         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1028         modules.
1029
1030         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1031         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1032         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1033         module it is a system frame.
1034
1035         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1036         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1037         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1038         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1039         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1040
1041         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1042         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1043         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1044         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1045         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1046         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1047
1048         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1049         status of a module.;
1050         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1051         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1054         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1055         closure to the module.
1056
1057         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1058
1059 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1064
1065         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1066
1067 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1068
1069         Fix from Russ McManus:
1070         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1071         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1072         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1073         either an optional or required value.
1074
1075 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

1100
1101         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1102         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1103         for isn't loaded.
1104
1105 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1106
1107         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1109 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1112         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1113         applied to the module itself.
1114
1115 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1116
1117         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1118
1119         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1120         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1121
1122 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1125
1126 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1127
1128         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1129
1130 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1131
1132         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1133         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1134
1135 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1136
1137         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1138         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1139         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1140         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1141         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1142         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1143         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1144
1145 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1148         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1149
1150 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1151
1152         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1153         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1154         static libraries.
1155
1156 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1157
1158         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1159
1160 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1161
1162         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1163
1164 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1167         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1168         adapt to the new hooks.
1169
1170 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1171
1172         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1173         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1174         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1175         code.
1176         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1177         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1178
1179         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1180         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1181         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1182         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1183         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1184         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1185         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1186         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1187         first to register linked modules.
1188
1189         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1190         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1191         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1194         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1195         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1196         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1199         to use from C:
1200         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1201         libguile/feature.c.
1202
1203         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1204         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1205         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1206
1207 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1210         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1211         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1212
1213 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1216         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1217         result of the last form.
1218
1219 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1220
1221         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1222         syncase.scm.
1223
1224         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1225
1226         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1227         readline-set!: New options interface.
1228
1229         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1230
1231 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1232
1233         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1234         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1235
1236 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1237
1238         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1239         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1240
1241 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1242
1243         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1244         interactive session.
1245         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1246
1247         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1248         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1249
1250 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1251
1252         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1253
1254 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1255
1256         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1257         read line was empty.
1258
1259 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1262         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1263
1264         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1265
1266         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1267         problem.  Duh.
1268         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1269         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1270         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1271
1272         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1273         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1274         into...
1275         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1276         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1277         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1278
1279         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1280         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1281         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1282         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1283         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1284         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1285         psyntax.ss.
1286         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1287
1288         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1289         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1290
1291 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1292
1293         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1294         and short vectors #h(...).
1295
1296 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1297
1298         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1299         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1300         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1301
1302 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1303
1304         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1305         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1306         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1307
1308 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1309
1310         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1311         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1312
1313         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1314         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1315         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1316         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1317
1318 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1319
1320         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1321         trace flag.
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1324         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1325         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1326         context with traps enabled.
1327
1328 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1331         module.
1332         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1333
1334 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1335
1336         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1337         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1338         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1339         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1340         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1341
1342 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1343
1344         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1345         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1346
1347 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1348
1349         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1350
1351 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1352
1353         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1354
1355 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1356
1357         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1358
1359 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1362         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1363
1364 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1365
1366         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1367         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1368         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1369         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1370         Archibald.)
1371
1372         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1373         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1374         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1375
1376 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1377
1378         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1379         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1380         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1381         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1382         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1383         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1384         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1385
1386 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1387
1388         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1389
1390 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1391
1392         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1393         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1394         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1395         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1396         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1397         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1398
1399 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1400
1401         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1402         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1403         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1404         Steven G. Johnson.)
1405
1406 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1407
1408         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1409
1410 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1411
1412         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1413
1414 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1415
1416         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1417         be completed.
1418
1419 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1420
1421         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1422
1423 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1424
1425         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1426         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1427
1428 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1431         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1432         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1433         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1434         transformer.
1435         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1436         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1437
1438 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1439
1440         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1441
1442 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1443
1444         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1445         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1446         completion.
1447
1448         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1449         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1450
1451         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1452         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1453         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1456
1457 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1458
1459         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1460
1461         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1462         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1463
1464 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1465
1466         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1467
1468 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1469
1470         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1471         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1472
1473         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1474
1475         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1476         obsolete.
1477
1478 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1479
1480         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1481         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1482
1483 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1484
1485         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1486
1487 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1488
1489         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1490         Stachowiak.)
1491
1492 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1493
1494         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1495         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1496         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1497         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1498         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1499         threads.

1501 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1502
1503         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1504         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1505         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1506
1507 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1508
1509         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1510
1511         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1512         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1513
1514 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1515
1516         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1517         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1518         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1519         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1520         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1521         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1522         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1523         to go here.
1524
1525 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1526
1527         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1528         is now a fluid.
1529
1530 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1531
1532         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1533         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1534         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1535         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1536         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1537         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1538
1539 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1540
1541         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1542         usefully so they will work from a script.
1543
1544 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1545
1546         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1547         neighborhood of the record code.
1548
1549 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1550
1551         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1552         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1553         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1554         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1555
1556 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1557
1558         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1559         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1560         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1561
1562 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1563
1564         Add support for readline function.
1565         * readline.scm: New module.
1566         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1567         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1568         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1569         anything.
1570         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1571         repl-reader to use them.
1572         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1573
1574         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1575
1576 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1577
1578         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1579         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1580
1581 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1582
1583         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1584         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1585         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1586
1587 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1588
1589         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1590         #f, abort terminates the process.
1591         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1592         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1593
1594 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1597         print-state, throw it away.
1598
1599 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1600
1601         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1602         `0'.
1603
1604 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1605
1606         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1607         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1608         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1609         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1610         user field).
1611         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1612         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1613
1614 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1615
1616         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1617
1618 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1619
1620         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1621         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1622         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1623         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1624         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1625         boot-9.scm.
1626         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1627         distribution and installation.
1628         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1629
1630 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1631
1632         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1633
1634 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1635
1636         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1637         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1638         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1639
1640         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1641         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1642         symbol.
1643
1644 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1645
1646         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1647
1648         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

1651
1652         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1653         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1654         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1655         field a separate argument.
1656
1657         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1658
1659 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1660
1661         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1662
1663         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1664         vicinity;
1665         Provide defmacro.
1666
1667 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1668
1669         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1670
1671 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1672
1673         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1674         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1675         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1676         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1677         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1678         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1679         registered.
1680         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1681         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1682         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1683         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1684         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1685         link a .so-file.
1686
1687 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1688
1689         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1690
1691 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1692
1693         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1694         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1695
1696 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1697
1698         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1699
1700         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1701         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1702         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1703         expansion inside the slib module.
1704
1705         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1706         constructors.
1707         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1708         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1709         (let): New core form.
1710         (if): Removed from core language.
1711         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1712         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1713         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1714
1715         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1716         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1717         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1718         source.
1719         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1720         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1721         been loaded.
1722
1723 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1724
1725         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1726         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1727         `use-syntax'.
1728         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1729
1730         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1731         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1732         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1733         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1734         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1735         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1736         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1737         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1738         module.
1739         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1740
1741 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1742
1743         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1744
1745         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1746         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1747         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1748         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1749         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1750
1751         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1752         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1753         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1754         syncase macros.
1755         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1756         the syncase interface.
1757
1758 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1759
1760         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1761         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1762         workings of the current module system).
1763
1764 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1765
1766         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1767         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1768         off!
1769
1770 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1771
1772         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1773         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1774         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1775
1776 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1777
1778         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1779         according to the following priorities:
1780         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1781         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1782         3. tcl bindings
1783         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1784         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1785         (new-interpreter): New function.
1786
1787         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1788         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1789         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1791 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1792

1798
1799 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1800
1801         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1802         procedures.
1803         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1804

1806
1807         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1808         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1809         source!
1810
1811 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1812
1813         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1814         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1815         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible

1818         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1819         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used

1821
1822         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1823         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

1842
1843         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1844         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1845         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1846
1847         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1848
1849         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1850         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

1864
1865         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1866         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1867         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1868
1869         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1870         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1871         the top.
1872
1873         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1874         order to narrow it correctly.

1889         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1890
1891 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1892
1893         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1894         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1895         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1896
1897 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1905         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1906         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1907         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

1909
1910 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1911
1912         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1913         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1914         a default of /.
1915
1916         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1917
1918 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1920         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1921         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

1930         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1931         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1932         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1933         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1934         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1935
1936         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1937         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1938         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1939         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1940
1941 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1942
1943         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1944         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1945         sending in bug reports.
1946         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1947         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1948         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1949         display a warning if the two are different.
1950         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1951         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1952         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1953
1954 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1957
1958 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1961         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1962
1963         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1964         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1965         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1966         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1967         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1968         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1969         that's okay.
1970
1971         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1972         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1973         regexp interface.
1974
1975         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1976         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1977
1978         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1979         function names.
1980
1981         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1982         fixes.
1983
1984 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1985
1986         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1987         ../configure.in.
1988
1989 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1990
1991         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1992         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1993
1994 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1997         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1998         to support printing of structures.
1999         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2000         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2001         commented out printing code.
2002         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2003         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2004
2005 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2006
2007         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2008
2009 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2012         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2013         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2014         during call to scm-style-repl.
2015
2016 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2017
2018         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2019         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2020         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2021         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2022         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2023
2024 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2025
2026         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2027         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2028         (ice-9 regex).
2029
2030 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2031
2032         * regex.scm: New file.
2033         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2034         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2035
2036 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2037

2046         in 1997.
2047
2048 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2049
2050         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2051         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2052         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2053
2054 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2057         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2058         here.
2059
2060 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2061
2062         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2070         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2071         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2072         fixes this too.
2073
2074 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2075
2076         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2077         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2078         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2079
2080 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2081
2082         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2083         the Scheme code like code yet.
2084         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2085
2086 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2087
2088         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2089         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2090         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2091
2092 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2095         use-modules macro
2096         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2097         can't be found.

2099 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2100
2101         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

2103 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2104
2105         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2106
2107         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2108         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.

2119         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2120         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2132
2133         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2139         instead of in libguile.
2140         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.

2142
2143 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2144

2154
2155 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2156
2157         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2158         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2159         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2160         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2161
2162 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2165         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2166
2167 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2168
2169         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2170
2171 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2172
2173         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2174         keywords and symbols.
2175
2176 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2177
2178         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2179
2180         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2181         Don't define read-sharp.
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2184         (read-sharp): removed.
2185         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2186         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2187
2188 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2189
2190         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2191
2192         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2193         primitive procedure.)
2194
2195         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2196         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2197
2198 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2199
2200         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2201
2202 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2203
2204         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2205
2206 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2207
2208         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2209         read gets EOF.
2210         * (exit): alias for quit.
2211
2212 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2213
2214         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2215         return the quit args.
2216         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2217         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2218         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2219
2220         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2221
2222 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2223
2224         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2225
2226         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2227         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2228
2229         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2230         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2231
2232         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2233         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2234         of handlers.
2235
2236 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2237
2238         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2239
2240         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2241         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2242         Change hooks to use these functions.
2243
2244         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2245         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2246         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2247         the source! :-)
2248         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2249         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2250         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2251         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2252         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2253         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2254         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2255         traced.
2256
2257         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2258         and exit-frame exceptions.
2259
2260         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2261         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2262         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2263         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2264         result; otherwise display "> ".
2265         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2266
2267         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2268         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2269         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2270         repository version runnable.
2271
2272 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2275         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2276         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2277         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2278         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2279         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2280
2281 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2284         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2285         and eval.
2286         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2287         "defined?".
2288         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2289         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2290
2291 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2294
2295 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2296
2297         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2298         %read-sharp layer.
2299
2300 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2301
2302         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2303         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2304
2305 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2308         backtrace.c.)
2309
2310 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311
2312         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2313         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2314
2315 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2316
2317         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2318
2319         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2320         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2321         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2322         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2323         dynamic linking of modules.
2324         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2325         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2326
2327 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2330
2331 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2332
2333         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2334         that's what it is.
2335
2336         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2337         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2338         was false.
2339
2340 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2341
2342         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2343         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2344         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2345
2346 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2349         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2350         yet.
2351
2352 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2353
2354         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2355         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2356         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2357
2358 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2359
2360         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2361         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2362         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2363         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2366         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2367         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2368         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2369         (such as the-scm-module).
2370
2371 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2372
2373         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2374         %search-load-path.
2375
2376 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2377
2378         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2379         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2380         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2381
2382 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2383
2384         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2385         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2386         function, use it accordingly.
2387
2388 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2389
2390         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2391         function of no arguments.
2392         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2393         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2394         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2395         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2396         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2397         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2398         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2399         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2400
2401 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2402
2403         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2404         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2405
2406 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2407
2408         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2409         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2410         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2411         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2412         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2413
2414         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2415         `*features*'.
2416
2417         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2418         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2419         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2420         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2421
2422         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2423
2424         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2425
2426         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2427         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2428         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2429
2430         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2431         error.
2432
2433         Added `before-read-hook'.
2434
2435         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2436
2437         (provide): New function.
2438
2439         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2440         in backtraces.
2441
2442         (backtrace): New function.
2443
2444         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2445         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2446         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2447         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2448         is found in operator position in a frame.
2449
2450         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2451         by default.
2452
2453         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2454         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2455         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2456
2457         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2458
2459         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2460
2461         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2462
2463         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2464
2465 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2466
2467         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2468
2469         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2470         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2471
2472         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2473         so they'll get distributed.
2474
2475         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2476         should see as little clutter as possible.
2477         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2478         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2479         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2480
2481         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2482         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2483         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2484         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2485         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2486         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2487         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2488         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2489         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2490         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2491         that are not.
2492         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2493         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2494
2495         * test.scm: New file.
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2498         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2499         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2502         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2503
2504         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2505         work now.
2506         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2507         call %load-announce.
2508
2509 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2512         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2513         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2514         components.
2515         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2516
2517 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2518
2519         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2520         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2521         SCSH (which this isn't).
2522
2523 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2524
2525         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2526
2527 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2528
2529         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2530         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2531         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2532         these.
2533         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2534         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2535         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2536         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2537         save-stack.
2538
2539 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2540
2541         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2542
2543         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2544
2545         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2546         error-catching-loop.
2547         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2548         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2549         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2550
2551         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2552         error-catching-loop.
2553
2554 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2555
2556         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2557         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2558         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2559         should be '(), not #f.
2560
2561         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2562         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2563
2564 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2567         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2568         error-signal.
2569
2570 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2571
2572         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2573         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2574         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2575         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2576
2577 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2578
2579         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2580
2581 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2582
2583         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2584
2585         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2586         throw-handler-default.
2587         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2588         reported.
2589         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2590         acro.
2591         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2592         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2593
2594 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2595
2596         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2597         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2598         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2599         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2600
2601 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2602
2603         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2604         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2605         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2606         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2607         ...))
2608         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2609         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2610         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2611         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2612         file-is-directory?
2613
2614 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2615
2616         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2617
2618         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2619         distribution.
2620
2621         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2622         `switch-repl'.
2623
2624         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2625
2626 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2627
2628         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2629         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2630
2631 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2632
2633         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2634
2635         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2636
2637 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2638
2639         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2640         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2641         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2642         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2643         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2644
2645         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2646         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2647         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2648         they seem redundant.
2649         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2650         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2651         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2652         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2653         directly files starting with "/").
2654         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2655         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2656
2657         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2658
2659 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2660
2661         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2662         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2663         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2664         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2665         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2666         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2667         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2668         robust to just do it in the C code.
2669
2670 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2671
2672         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2673         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2674         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2675         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2676         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2677
2678 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2679
2680         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2681         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2682         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2683
2684 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2685
2686         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2687         system-error, not every kind of error.
2688         (scm-error): new procedure.
2689
2690 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2691
2692         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2693
2694 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2695
2696         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2697         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2698         of args are supplied.
2699         (%%system-errors): removed.
2700         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2701         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2702         %%handle-system-error.
2703         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2704         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2705         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2706         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2707
2708 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2709
2710         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2711         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2712         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2713         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2714
2715 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2716
2717         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2718         the empty list if they are #f.
2719         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2720
2721 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2722
2723         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2724
2725         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2726         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2727         aborting, just the key and subr.
2728         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2729         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2730         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2731
2732 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2733
2734         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2735         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2736         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2737         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2738         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2739
2740 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2741
2742         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2743         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2744         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2745         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2746
2747 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2748
2749         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2750         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2751         initialize %load-path.
2752
2753         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2754         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2755
2756 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2757
2758         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2759         Add the directory named after the version number.
2760         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2761         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2762         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2763         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2764         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2766         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2767         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2768
2769 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2770
2771         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2772         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2773         in the Makefile directly.
2774         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2775         for these.
2776         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2777         aux_files.
2778         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2779         here, where people expect to find them.

2782
2783         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2784         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2785
2786         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2787
2788 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2789
2790         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2791         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2792
2793 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2794
2795         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2796         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2797
2798         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2799         weak-key-hash-table.
2800
2801 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2802
2803         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2804         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
2805         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2806         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2807         (%open-file): removed.
2808         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2809         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2810
2811 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2812
2813         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2814         (manifest): Deleted.
2815         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2816         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2817
2818 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2819
2820         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2821         now that they throw errors directly.
2822         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2823         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2824
2825 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2826
2827         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2828
2829 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2830
2831         * The more things change...
2832
2833
