  90 2001-02-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
  93         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
  94         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
  95         frame is invoked.
  96
  97 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 108
 109         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
 110         `interaction-evironment'.
 111         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
 112         module magic.
 113         (eval-when): New macro.
 114         (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
 115         restrict the use of these forms to the top level.

 122         (named-module-use!): New function.
 123         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level

 127
 128         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of

 133
 134         * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
 135         `current-error-port'.
 136
 137 2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 138
 139         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 140         operating systems.
 141
 142         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
 143         `and-let-star.scm'.  Updated module name as well.
 144         * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
 145         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
 146         "and-let-star.scm".
 147         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 148         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 149         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 150
 151 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 152
 153         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 154         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 155
 156         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 157         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 158
 159         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 160         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 161
 162 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 163
 164         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 165         in C for now.
 166         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 167         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 168
 169 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 170
 171         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 172         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 173         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 174         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 175         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 176         for now.
 177         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 178         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 179
 180 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 181
 182         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 183         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 184         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 185         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 186         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 187         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 188         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 189
 190 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 191
 192         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 193         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 194
 195 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 196
 197         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 198         any more.
 199
 200 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 201
 202         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 203         the-root-module.
 204
 205 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 206
 207         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 208
 209 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 210
 211         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 212         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 213         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 214         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 215         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 216         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 217         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 218         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 219         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 220         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 221         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 222         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 223         make-shared-substring.
 224
 225 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 226
 227         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 228         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 229         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 230         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 231         scm-style-repl.
 232
 233 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 234
 235         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 236         and open-output-pipe.
 237
 238 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 239
 240         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 241         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 242         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 243         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 244         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 245         Pirotte for the bug report).
 246         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 247         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 248
 249 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 250
 251         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 252         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
 253
 254 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 255
 256         * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
 257
 258 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 259
 260         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 261         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 262         patch.
 263
 264 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 265
 266         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 267         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 268
 269 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 270
 271         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 272         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 273         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 274
 275         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 276         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 277         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 278         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 279         actual documentation entries themselves.
 280
 281 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 282
 283         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
 284
 285 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 286
 287         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 288
 289 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 290

 292         Convert first argument to a string.
 293
 294         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 295         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 296         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 297         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 298
 299         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 300
 301         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 306
 307 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 308
 309         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 310         `symbol-append'.
 311         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 312         args.
 313         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 314         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 315         even worked...  /mdj.
 316         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 317         `symbol->string'.
 318         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 319         semantics.
 320
 321 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 322
 323         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 324         form set!.
 325
 326 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 327
 328         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 329         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 330
 331 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 346         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 347         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 348         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 349         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 350         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 351
 352         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 353
 354 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 355
 356         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 357         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 358
 359         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 360         syntactic bindings.
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 363         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 364         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 365         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 366
 367         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 372         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 373
 374         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 375         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 376
 377 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 380         definition of module-type.
 381
 382         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 383
 384         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 385
 386         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 387         lines.
 388         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 389         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 390
 391 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 392
 393         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 394
 395 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 396
 397         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 398         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 399         Mikael for the suggestion.
 400
 401 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 402
 403         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 404         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 405
 406 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 407
 408         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 409         for export args.
 410
 411 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 412
 413         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 414
 415 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 416
 417         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 418         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 419         for the hint.
 420
 421         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 422         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 423         tail recursive yet.
 424
 425 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 428         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 429
 430         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 431         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 432         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 433         See NEWS.
 434         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 435
 436         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 437
 438 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 439
 440         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 441         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 442
 443 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 444
 445         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 446         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 447
 448 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 449
 450         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 451         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 452
 453 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 454
 455         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 456
 457         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 458
 459         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 460
 461 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 462
 463         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 464         '() instead of #f.
 465         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 466         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 467         `the-root-module'.
 468         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 469
 470         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 471         documentation.scm.
 472
 473         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 474         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 475         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 476         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 477         (help): Rewritten.
 478
 479         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 480
 481         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 482
 483 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 484
 485         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 486         (write-all): Removed.
 487         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 488         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 489
 490 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 491
 492         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 493         `proc-documentation'
 494
 495         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 496         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 497         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 498         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 499         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 500         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 501         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 502         getter...)
 503
 504 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 505
 506         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 507
 508 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 509
 510         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 511         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 512         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 513         closure.
 514
 515 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 516
 517         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 518         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 519         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 520         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 521         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 522         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 523         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 524
 525 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 526
 527         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 528         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 529
 530 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 531
 532         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 533         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 534
 535 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 536
 537         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 538         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 539         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 540         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 541         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 542         delete-if! when iterating.
 543
 544 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 545
 546         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 547
 548 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 549
 550         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 551
 552 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 553
 554         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 555         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 556         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 557         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 558
 559 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 560
 561         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 562         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 563
 564 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 565
 566         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 567         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 568         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 569         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 570
 571 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 572
 573         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 574         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 575
 576 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 577
 578         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 579         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 580
 581 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 582
 583         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 584         Dirk Hermann!
 585
 586 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 587
 588         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 589         source of the numerous very short changes.
 590
 591 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 592
 593         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 594         public.
 595
 596         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 597         info pages.
 598
 599 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 600
 601         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 602         from slib docs.
 603
 604 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 605
 606         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 607         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 608
 609 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 610
 611         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 612         to string-append.
 613
 614 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 615
 616         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 617         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 618         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 619
 620 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 621
 622         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 623         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 624         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 625         Narazaki for this change.
 626
 627 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 628
 629         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 630         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 631         %S.
 632
 633         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 634         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 635
 636 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 637
 638         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 639         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 640
 641 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 642
 643         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 644         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 645         use define-public to export from the module.
 646
 647 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 648
 649         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 650         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 651         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 652
 653 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 654
 655         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 656
 657 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 658
 659         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 660         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 661
 662 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 663
 664         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 665
 666         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 667
 668         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 669
 670 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 671
 672         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 673         long_long uniform vectors.
 674
 675 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 676
 677         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 678         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 679
 680 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 681
 682         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 683         script to create generated files like this one.
 684
 685 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 686
 687         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 688         available before using getpw and getuid.
 689         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 690         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 691         check for stat.
 692         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 693         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 694         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 695         available.
 696         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 697         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 698         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 699
 700         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 701         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 702
 703         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 704
 705 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 706
 707         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 708         than 'exit-debugger.
 709
 710         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 711         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 712
 713         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 714
 715 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 716

 721         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 722         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 723         to return a valid state.)
 724         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 725
 726 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 727
 728         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 729         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 730         Badros.)
 731
 732 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 733
 734         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 735         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 736
 737 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 738
 739         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 740
 741         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

 744         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 745
 746         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 747         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 748         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 749         expression.
 750         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 751         Handle errors.
 752
 753 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 754
 755         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 756         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 757
 758         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 759
 760 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 763         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 764         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 765         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 766
 767         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 768         argument.
 769
 770         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 771         both forward and backward views of the stack
 772         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 773         Use selector `frame-number';
 774         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 775         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 776         Use (ice-9 debug).
 777         Use readline conditionally.
 778
 779 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 780
 781         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 782         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 783         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 784
 785         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 786         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 787         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 788
 789 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 790
 791         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 792
 793         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 794
 795         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 796
 797         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 798
 799 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 800
 801         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 802         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 803         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 804         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 805         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 806         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 807         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 808         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 809         libguile-config-stamp.
 810         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 811         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 812         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 813         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 814         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 815
 816 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 817
 818         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 819         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 820         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 821
 822         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 823         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 824         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 825         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 826         readline.
 827
 828         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 829
 830 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 831
 832         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 833
 834 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 837         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 838
 839 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 840
 841         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 842         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 843         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 844         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 845         objects starting with '#/'.
 846
 847 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 848
 849         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 850         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 851         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 852         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 853         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 854         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 855         `observer-id'.
 856         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 857         module-modified): New procedures.
 858         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 859         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 860
 861 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 862
 863         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 864         defines.
 865
 866 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 867
 868         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 869         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 870         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 871
 872         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 873         position.
 874
 875 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 876
 877         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 878         at multiple calls to read.
 879         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 880         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 881         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 882         continued-lines prompt.
 883
 884         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 885         reading expressions.
 886
 887 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 888
 889         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 890         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 891
 892 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 893
 894         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 895         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 896         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 897
 898         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 899
 900         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 901         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 902
 903         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 904         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 905         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 906         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 907         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 908         instead of a port.
 909
 910 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 911
 912         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 913         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 914
 915         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 916
 917         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 918         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 919         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 920         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 921
 922         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 923
 924         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 925
 926         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 927         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 928         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 929         an alist.
 930
 931         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 932
 933         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 934         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 935         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 936         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 937         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 938         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 939         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 940         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 941         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 942         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 943         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 944
 945         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 946
 947         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 948         peeked from the stream.
 949         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 950         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 951         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 952
 953         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 954
 955         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 956         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 957
 958         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 959
 960         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 961         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 962         exiting repl with single control-D.
 963
 964         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 965
 966         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 967         error catching loop after quit received.
 968         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 969
 970         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 971         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 972         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 973
 974         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 975         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 976         boot-9.scm.
 977         * popen.scm: new file.
 978
 979 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 980
 981        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 982        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 983
 984 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 985
 986         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 987         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 988
 989 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 990
 991         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 992         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 993         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 994         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 995         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 996
 997 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 998
 999         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1000
1001         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1002         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1003
1004         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1005         Guile's module system.
1006
1007         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1008         changes:
1009         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1010         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1011         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1012         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1013         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1014         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1015         modern CL behavior.
1016         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1017         '() when the condition is false.
1018
1019 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1020
1021         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1022
1023 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1026
1027 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1030         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1031         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1032
1033 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1034
1035         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1036         argument order for hash-fold.
1037
1038 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1041         resolve-module.
1042         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1043         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1044
1045         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1046         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1047         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1048         has been added to the load path).
1049
1050         Use try-load-module.
1051
1052 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1053
1054         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1055         module between system and user state.
1056
1057 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1058
1059         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1060
1061         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1062         definition.
1063
1064 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1065
1066         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1067         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1068         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1069
1070 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1071
1072         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1073         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1074         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1075         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1076         stack frame encountered.
1077
1078         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1079         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1080         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1081         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1082         list).]
1083
1084         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1085         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1086         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1087         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1088         please tell me!]
1089
1090         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1091         define-module switches:
1092
1093         (define-module (foo)
1094           :no-backtrace)
1095
1096         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1097         modules.
1098
1099         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1100         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1101         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1102         module it is a system frame.
1103
1104         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1105         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1106         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1107         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1108         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1109
1110         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1111         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1112         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1113         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1114         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1115         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1116
1117         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1118         status of a module.;
1119         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1120         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1121
1122         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1123         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1124         closure to the module.
1125
1126         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1127
1128 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1129
1130         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1131
1132 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1133
1134         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1135
1136 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1137
1138         Fix from Russ McManus:
1139         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1140         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1141         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1142         either an optional or required value.
1143
1144 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1145
1146         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1147
1148         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1149         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1150
1151         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1152         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1153         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1154         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1155
1156 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1157
1158         * optargs.scm: New file.
1159         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1160         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1161
1162 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1163
1164         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1165         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1166         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1167
1168 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1169
1170         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1171         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1172         for isn't loaded.
1173
1174 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1175
1176         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1177
1178 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1179
1180         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1181         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1182         applied to the module itself.
1183
1184 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1185
1186         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1187
1188         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1189         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1190
1191 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1194
1195 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1196
1197         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1198
1199 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1200
1201         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1202         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1203
1204 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1207         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1208         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1209         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1210         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1211         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1212         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1213
1214 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1217         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1218
1219 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1220
1221         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1222         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1223         static libraries.
1224
1225 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1226
1227         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1228
1229 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1230
1231         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1232
1233 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1234
1235         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1236         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1237         adapt to the new hooks.
1238
1239 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1240
1241         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1242         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1243         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1244         code.
1245         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1246         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1247
1248         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1249         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1250         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1251         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1252         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1253         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1254         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1255         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1256         first to register linked modules.
1257
1258         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1259         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1260         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1261
1262         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1263         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1264         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1265         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1266
1267         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1268         to use from C:
1269         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1270         libguile/feature.c.
1271
1272         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1273         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1274         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1275
1276 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1277
1278         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1279         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1280         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1281
1282 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1285         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1286         result of the last form.
1287
1288 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1291         syncase.scm.
1292
1293         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1294
1295         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1296         readline-set!: New options interface.
1297
1298         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1299
1300 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1303         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1304
1305 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1306
1307         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1308         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1309
1310 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1313         interactive session.
1314         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1315
1316         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1317         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1318
1319 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1320
1321         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1322
1323 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1324
1325         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1326         read line was empty.
1327
1328 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1331         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1332
1333         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1334
1335         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1336         problem.  Duh.
1337         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1338         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1339         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1340
1341         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1342         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1343         into...
1344         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1345         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1346         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1347
1348         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1349         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1350         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1351         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1352         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1353         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1354         psyntax.ss.
1355         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1356
1357         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1358         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1359
1360 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1363         and short vectors #h(...).
1364
1365 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1366
1367         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1368         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1369         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1370
1371 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1372
1373         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1374         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1375         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1376
1377 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1378
1379         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1380         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1381
1382         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1383         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1384         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1385         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1386
1387 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1388
1389         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1390         trace flag.
1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1393         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1394         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1395         context with traps enabled.
1396
1397 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1398
1399         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1400         module.
1401         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1402
1403 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1404
1405         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1406         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1407         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1408         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1409         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1410
1411 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1412
1413         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1414         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1415
1416 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1417
1418         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1419
1420 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1421
1422         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1423
1424 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1425
1426         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1427
1428 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1429
1430         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1431         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1432
1433 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1434
1435         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1436         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1437         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1438         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1439         Archibald.)
1440
1441         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1442         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1443         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1444
1445 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1446
1447         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1448         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1449         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1450         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1451         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1452         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1453         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1454
1455 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1456
1457         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1458
1459 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1462         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1463         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1464         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1465         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1466         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1467
1468 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1469
1470         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1471         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1472         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by

1475 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1476
1477         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1478
1479 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1480
1481         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1482
1483 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1484
1485         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1486         be completed.
1487
1488 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1489
1490         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1491
1492 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1493
1494         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1495         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1496
1497 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1498
1499         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1500         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1501         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1502         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1503         transformer.
1504         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1505         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1506
1507 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1508
1509         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1510
1511 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1512
1513         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1514         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1515         completion.
1516
1517         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1518         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1519
1520         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1521         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1522         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1523
1524         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1525
1526 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1527
1528         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1529
1530         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1531         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1532
1533 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1536
1537 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1538
1539         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1540         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1541
1542         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1543
1544         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1545         obsolete.
1546
1547 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1548
1549         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1550         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1551
1552 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1553
1554         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1555
1556 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1557
1558         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1559         Stachowiak.)
1560
1561 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1562
1563         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1564         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1565         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1566         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1567         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1568         threads.
1569
1570 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1571
1572         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1573         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1574         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1575
1576 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1577
1578         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1579
1580         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1581         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1582
1583 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1586         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1587         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1588         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1589         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1590         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1591         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1592         to go here.
1593
1594 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1597         is now a fluid.
1598
1599 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1600
1601         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1602         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1603         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1604         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1605         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1606         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1607
1608 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1609
1610         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1611         usefully so they will work from a script.
1612
1613 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1614
1615         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1616         neighborhood of the record code.
1617
1618 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1621         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1622         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1623         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1624
1625 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1626
1627         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1628         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1629         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1630
1631 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1632
1633         Add support for readline function.
1634         * readline.scm: New module.
1635         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1636         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1637         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1638         anything.
1639         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1640         repl-reader to use them.
1641         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1642
1643         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1644
1645 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1646
1647         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1648         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1649
1650 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1651
1652         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1653         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1654         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1655
1656 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1657
1658         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1659         #f, abort terminates the process.
1660         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1661         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1662
1663 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1664
1665         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1666         print-state, throw it away.
1667
1668 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1671         `0'.
1672
1673 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1676         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1677         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1678         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1679         user field).
1680         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1681         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1682
1683 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1686
1687 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1688
1689         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1690         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1691         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1692         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1693         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1694         boot-9.scm.
1695         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1696         distribution and installation.
1697         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1698
1699 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1700
1701         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1702
1703 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1704
1705         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1706         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1707         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1708
1709         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1710         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1711         symbol.
1712
1713 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1714
1715         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1716
1717         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1722         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1723         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1724         field a separate argument.
1725
1726         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1727
1728 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1729
1730         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1731
1732         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1733         vicinity;
1734         Provide defmacro.
1735
1736 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1737

1741
1742         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1743         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1744         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1745         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1746         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1747         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1748         registered.
1749         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1750         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1751         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1752         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1753         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1754         link a .so-file.
1755
1756 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1757
1758         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1759
1760 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1761
1762         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1763         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1764
1765 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1766
1767         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1768
1769         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1770         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1771         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1772         expansion inside the slib module.
1773
1774         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1775         constructors.
1776         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1777         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1778         (let): New core form.
1779         (if): Removed from core language.
1780         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1781         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1782         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1783
1784         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1785         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1786         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1787         source.
1788         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1789         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1790         been loaded.
1791
1792 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1793
1794         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1795         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1796         `use-syntax'.
1797         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1800         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1801         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1802         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1803         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1804         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1805         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1806         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1807         module.
1808         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1809
1810 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1811
1812         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1813
1814         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1815         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1816         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1817         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1818         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1819
1820         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1821         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1822         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1823         syncase macros.
1824         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1825         the syncase interface.
1826
1827 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1828
1829         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1830         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1831         workings of the current module system).
1832
1833 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1834
1835         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1836         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1837         off!
1838
1839 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1840
1841         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1842         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1843         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1844
1845 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1846
1847         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1848         according to the following priorities:
1849         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1850         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1851         3. tcl bindings
1852         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1853         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1854         (new-interpreter): New function.
1855
1856         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1857         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1858         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1859
1860 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1861

1865
1866         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1867
1868 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1869
1870         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

1875
1876         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1877         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1878         source!
1879
1880 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1881
1882         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1883         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1885         symbols matching regexp.
1886
1887         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1888         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1889         in stack-ref).
1890
1891         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1892         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1893         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1894         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1895         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1896         result protocol;
1897         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1898         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1906         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1907
1908         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1909
1910 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1911
1912         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1913         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1914         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1915
1916         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1917
1918         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1919         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1920         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1921
1922 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1923
1924         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1925         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1926
1927 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1928
1929         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1930         cstime.
1931
1932 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1933
1934         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1935         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1936         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1937
1938         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1939         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1940         the top.
1941
1942         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1943         order to narrow it correctly.
1944         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1945
1946 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1947
1948         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1949         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1950
1951 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1952
1953         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1954
1955 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1958         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1959
1960 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1961
1962         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1963         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1964         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1965
1966 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1967
1968         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1969         automatically.
1970
1971 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1972
1973         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1974         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1975         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1976         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1977         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1978
1979 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1980
1981         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1982         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1983         a default of /.
1984
1985         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1986
1987 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1988
1989         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1990         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1991         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1992
1993         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1994         make-regexp.
1995
1996 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1997
1998         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1999         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2000         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2001         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2002         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2003         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2004
2005         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2006         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2007         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2008         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2009
2010 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2011
2012         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2013         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2014         sending in bug reports.
2015         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2016         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2017         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2018         display a warning if the two are different.
2019         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2020         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2021         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2022
2023 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2024
2025         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2026
2027 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2028
2029         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2030         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2031
2032         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2033         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2034         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2035         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2036         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2037         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2038         that's okay.
2039
2040         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2041         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2042         regexp interface.
2043
2044         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2045         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2048         function names.
2049
2050         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2051         fixes.
2052
2053 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2054
2055         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2056         ../configure.in.
2057
2058 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2059
2060         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2061         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2062
2063 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2064
2065         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2066         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2067         to support printing of structures.
2068         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2069         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2070         commented out printing code.
2071         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2072         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2073
2074 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2075
2076         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2077
2078 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2079
2080         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2081         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2082         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2083         during call to scm-style-repl.
2084
2085 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2086
2087         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2088         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2089         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2090         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2091         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2092
2093 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2094
2095         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2096         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2097         (ice-9 regex).
2098
2099 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2100
2101         * regex.scm: New file.
2102         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2103         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2104
2105 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2106
2107         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2108         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2109         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

2113
2114         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2115         in 1997.
2116
2117 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2118
2119         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2120         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2121         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2122
2123 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2124
2125         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2126         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2127         here.
2128
2129 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2130
2131         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2132
2133 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2134
2135         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2137 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2138
2139         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2140         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2141         fixes this too.
2142
2143 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2144
2145         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2146         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2147         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2148
2149 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2150
2151         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2152         the Scheme code like code yet.
2153         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2154
2155 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2156
2157         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2158         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2159         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2160
2161 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2162
2163         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2164         use-modules macro
2165         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2166         can't be found.
2167
2168 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2169
2170         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2171
2172 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2173
2174         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2175
2176         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2177         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2178         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2179
2180 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2181
2182         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2183         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2184         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2185
2186         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2187         no plugins.
2188         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2189         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2190
2191 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2194         functions.
2195
2196 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2197
2198         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2199
2200 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2201
2202         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2203         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2204
2205 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2206
2207         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2208         instead of in libguile.
2209         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2210         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2211
2212 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2213
2214         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2215         procedures.
2216         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2217         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2218
2219 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2220
2221         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2222         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2223
2224 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2225
2226         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2227         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2228         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2229         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2230
2231 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2232
2233         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2234         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2235
2236 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2239
2240 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2241
2242         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2243         keywords and symbols.
2244
2245 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2246
2247         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2248
2249         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2250         Don't define read-sharp.
2251
2252         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2253         (read-sharp): removed.
2254         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2255         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2256
2257 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2258
2259         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2260
2261         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2262         primitive procedure.)
2263
2264         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2265         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2266
2267 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2268
2269         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2270
2271 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2272
2273         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2274
2275 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2276
2277         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2278         read gets EOF.
2279         * (exit): alias for quit.
2280
2281 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2284         return the quit args.
2285         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2286         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2287         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2288
2289         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2290
2291 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2294
2295         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2296         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2297
2298         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2299         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2300
2301         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2302         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2303         of handlers.
2304
2305 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2306
2307         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2308
2309         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2310         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2311         Change hooks to use these functions.
2312
2313         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2314         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2315         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2316         the source! :-)
2317         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2318         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2319         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2320         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2321         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2322         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2323         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2324         traced.
2325
2326         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2327         and exit-frame exceptions.
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2330         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2331         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2332         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2333         result; otherwise display "> ".
2334         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2335
2336         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2337         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2338         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2339         repository version runnable.
2340
2341 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2342
2343         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2344         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2345         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2346         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2347         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2348         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2349
2350 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2351
2352         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2353         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2354         and eval.
2355         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2356         "defined?".
2357         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2358         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2359
2360 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2361
2362         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2363
2364 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2367         %read-sharp layer.
2368
2369 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2370
2371         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2372         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2373
2374 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2375
2376         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2377         backtrace.c.)
2378
2379 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2380
2381         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2382         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2383
2384 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2385
2386         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2387
2388         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2389         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2390         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2391         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2392         dynamic linking of modules.
2393         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2394         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2395
2396 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2399
2400 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2401
2402         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2403         that's what it is.
2404
2405         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2406         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2407         was false.
2408
2409 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2410
2411         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2412         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2413         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2414
2415 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2416
2417         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2418         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2419         yet.
2420
2421 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2422
2423         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2424         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2425         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2426
2427 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2428
2429         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2430         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2431         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2432         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2435         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2436         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2437         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2438         (such as the-scm-module).
2439
2440 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2441
2442         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2443         %search-load-path.
2444
2445 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2446
2447         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2448         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2449         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2450
2451 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2452
2453         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2454         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2455         function, use it accordingly.
2456
2457 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2458
2459         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2460         function of no arguments.
2461         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2462         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2463         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2464         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2465         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2466         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2467         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2468         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2469
2470 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2471
2472         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2473         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2474
2475 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2476
2477         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2478         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2479         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2480         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2481         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2482
2483         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2484         `*features*'.
2485
2486         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2487         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2488         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2489         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2490
2491         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2492
2493         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2494
2495         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2496         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2497         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2498
2499         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2500         error.
2501
2502         Added `before-read-hook'.
2503
2504         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2505
2506         (provide): New function.
2507
2508         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2509         in backtraces.
2510
2511         (backtrace): New function.
2512
2513         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2514         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2515         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2516         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2517         is found in operator position in a frame.
2518
2519         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2520         by default.
2521
2522         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2523         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2524         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2525
2526         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2527
2528         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2529
2530         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2531
2532         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2533
2534 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2535
2536         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2537
2538         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2539         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2540
2541         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2542         so they'll get distributed.
2543
2544         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2545         should see as little clutter as possible.
2546         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2547         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2548         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2549
2550         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2551         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2552         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2553         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2554         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2555         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2556         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2557         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2558         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2559         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2560         that are not.
2561         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2562         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2563
2564         * test.scm: New file.
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2567         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2568         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2569
2570         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2571         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2572
2573         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2574         work now.
2575         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2576         call %load-announce.
2577
2578 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2579
2580         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2581         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2582         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2583         components.
2584         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2585
2586 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2587
2588         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2589         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2590         SCSH (which this isn't).
2591
2592 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2593
2594         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2595
2596 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2597
2598         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2599         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2600         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2601         these.
2602         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2603         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2604         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2605         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2606         save-stack.
2607
2608 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2609
2610         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2611
2612         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2613
2614         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2615         error-catching-loop.
2616         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2617         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2618         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2619
2620         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2621         error-catching-loop.
2622
2623 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2624
2625         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2626         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2627         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2628         should be '(), not #f.
2629
2630         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2631         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2632
2633 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2634
2635         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2636         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2637         error-signal.
2638
2639 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2640
2641         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2642         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2643         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2644         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2645
2646 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2647
2648         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2649
2650 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2651
2652         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2653
2654         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2655         throw-handler-default.
2656         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2657         reported.
2658         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2659         acro.
2660         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2661         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2662
2663 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2664
2665         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2666         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2667         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2668         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2669
2670 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2671
2672         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2673         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2674         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2675         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2676         ...))
2677         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2678         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2679         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2680         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2681         file-is-directory?
2682
2683 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2684
2685         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2686
2687         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2688         distribution.
2689
2690         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2691         `switch-repl'.
2692
2693         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2694
2695 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2696
2697         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2698         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2699
2700 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2701
2702         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2705
2706 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2707
2708         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2709         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2710         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2711         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2712         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2713
2714         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2715         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2716         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2717         they seem redundant.
2718         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2719         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2720         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2721         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2722         directly files starting with "/").
2723         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2724         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2725
2726         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2727
2728 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2729
2730         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2731         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2732         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2733         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2734         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2735         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2736         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2737         robust to just do it in the C code.
2738
2739 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2740
2741         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2742         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2743         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2744         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2745         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2746
2747 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2748
2749         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2750         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2751         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2752
2753 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2754
2755         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2756         system-error, not every kind of error.
2757         (scm-error): new procedure.
2758
2759 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2760
2761         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2762
2763 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2764
2765         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2766         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2767         of args are supplied.
2768         (%%system-errors): removed.
2769         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2770         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2771         %%handle-system-error.
2772         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2773         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2774         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2775         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2776
2777 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2778
2779         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2780         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2781         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2782         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2783
2784 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2785
2786         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2787         the empty list if they are #f.
2788         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2789
2790 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2791
2792         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2793
2794         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2795         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2796         aborting, just the key and subr.
2797         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2798         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2799         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2800
2801 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2802
2803         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2804         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2805         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2806         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2807         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2808
2809 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2810
2811         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2812         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2813         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2814         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2815
2816 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2817
2818         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2819         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2820         initialize %load-path.
2821
2822         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2823         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2824
2825 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2826
2827         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2828         Add the directory named after the version number.
2829         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2830         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2831         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2832         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2833         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2834         (install): Create the above directories.
2835         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2836         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2837
2838 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2839
2840         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2841         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2842         in the Makefile directly.
2843         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2844         for these.
2845         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2846         aux_files.
