        * socket.c (scm_fill_sockaddr): improve the argument validation.
        don't allocate memory until all args are checked.  instead of

2001-04-17  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_CAREFUL_INTS, SCM_DEBUG_INTERRUPTS):  Replaced the

2001-04-01  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gc.c (MARK):  Re-introduce a cheap sanity test for non debug
        mode, as suggested by Michael Livshin.

2001-03-31  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * backtrace.c (display_backtrace_body): since the `print_state'
        variable is not used (instead its data field is used directly as
        `pstate'), protect it from the hungry compiler optimizations.
        thanks to Bill Schottstaedt for the report.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * gc.[ch] (scm_tc16_allocated):  New type tag for allocated cells.
        It is only defined and used if guile is compiled with
        SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.  It's purpose is, to never
        let cells with a free_cell type tag be visible outside of the
        garbage collector when in debug mode.

        * gc.c (scm_debug_cell_accesses_p):  Set to true as default.

        (scm_assert_cell_valid):  Use a local static variable to avoid
        recursion.

        (MARK):  Only check for rogue cell pointers in debug mode.  Use
        scm_cellp for this purpose and place all checks for rogue pointers
        into that function.  Further, since due to conservative scanning
        we may encounter free cells during marking, don't use the standard
        cell type accessor macro to determine the cell type.

        (scm_cellp):  Check if the cell pointer actually points into a
        card header.

        (scm_init_gc):  Initalize scm_tc16_allocated.

        * gc.h (GCH):  Renamed to SCM_GC_H.

        (SCM_VALIDATE_CELL):  Enclose the expression in brackets.  This
        might be unnecessary, but I feel better this way :-)

        (SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE):  New macro.

        (SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):  Deprecated.  These are not used
        in guile, and it is unlikely that they will be applied to real
        pairs anyway.

        (SCM_SET_FREE_CELL_TYPE):  Removed.  It was not used.

        (SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED):  New macro.  Only non-empty if guile is
        compiled with SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.

        (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Use of SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED will
        make sure that in debug mode no free cell will ever be visible
        outside of the garbage collector.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * async.c (scm_asyncs_pending):  Don't use != to compare SCM
        values.

        * async.c (scm_system_async), variable.c (scm_make_variable,
        scm_make_undefined_variable):  Use scm_cons to create a pair.

        * debug.c (scm_reverse_lookup):  Perform proper type checking.
        Remove suspicious use of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p), tags.h (SCM_ECONSP):  Use SCM_CONSP instead
        of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.  A sane compiler should be able to perform
        the corresponding optimization.

        * eval.c (iqq):  Use proper type check.

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Remove redundant type checks.

        (promise_print):  Don't access promise cells as pairs.

        * eval.c (EVALCAR, iqq, scm_m_expand_body, scm_eval_args,
        scm_deval_args SCM_CEVAL), guardians.c (scm_guard), hashtab.c
        (scm_internal_hash_fold), print.c (scm_iprlist):  Use !SCM_CELLP
        for SCM_NCELLP, !SCM_CONSP for SCM_NCONSP, !SCM_IMP for SCM_NIMP,
        !SCM_FALSEP for SCM_NFALSEP, !SCM_NULLP for SCM_NNULLP

        * eval.c (scm_m_define, scm_macroexp, SCM_CEVAL), print.c
        (scm_iprin1):  Use new macro predicate and accessors.

        * eval.h (scm_tc16_macro):  Removed declaration.  It is declared
        in macros.h.

        * eval.h (EVALH), macros.h (MACROSH), ports.h (PORTSH), procs.h
        (PROCSH), tags.h (TAGSH), variable.h (VARIABLEH):  Renamed to
        SCM_EVAL_H, SCM_MACROS_H, SCM_PORTS_H, SCM_PROCS_H, SCM_TAGS_H and
        SCM_VARIABLE_H.  Even the macros that are used to inhibit
        including a header file twice should be in the SCM_ namespace.

        * fluids.c (scm_swap_fluids, scm_swap_fluids_reverse),
        properties.c (scm_primitive_property_ref,
        scm_primitive_property_del_x):  Prefer stronger predicates like
        SCM_NULLP or SCM_FALSEP over SCM_IMP.

        * gc.c (MARK):  Use proper macros to access procedure-with-setter

        middle of docstrings.  (To avoid the problem with gcc-2.96.)

2001-03-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * coop-threads.c (scm_call_with_new_thread), load.c
        (scm_primitive_load, scm_sys_search_load_path), random.c
        (scm_c_default_rstate), struct.c (scm_make_struct_layout,
        scm_struct_ref, scm_struct_set_x):  Don't use SCM_ASSERT to
        (potentially) issue a scm-misc-error or wrong-num-args error
        message.

        * load.c (scm_search_path):  Use SCM_ASSERT_TYPE to give details
        about the expected type with the wrong-type-arg error message.

        * smob.c (scm_make_smob):  Abort on misuse of smob - it indicates
        a C level bug that can't be fixed from scheme anyway.

2001-03-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * eval.c (scm_m_letstar): Removed check for duplicate bindings.
        Duplicate bindings are OK in a let* since a let* is semantically
        equivalent to a nested set of let:s.

2001-03-05  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_options): Fixed texinfo in docstring.

        * net_db.c (scm_getserv, scm_getproto, scm_getnet): Return #f if
        the underlying functions getservent, getprotoent or getnetent
        return NULL instead of signalling an error.

2001-03-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * socket.c (scm_fill_sockaddr): don't allow buffer overflows when
        taking an unexpectedly large filename for an AF_UNIX socket from
        bind/connect/sendto (thanks to Martin Grabmueller).
        
        * socket.c (scm_sock_fd_to_port, SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT): removed the
        former and adjusted the latter.
        (scm_socket, scm_socketpair): cosmetic changes.
        (scm_getsockopt, scm_setsockopt): declare optlen as int, not
        size_t as socklen_t substitute.  don't restrict args/return values
        to INUM: allow full range of int or size_t.
        (scm_fill_sockaddr): check arguments before allocating memory, to
        avoid leakage.  use malloc, not scm_must_malloc.
        (scm_connect, scm_bind, scm_sendto): use int, not size_t as socklen_t
        substitute.  free the sockaddr structure before throwing an error.
        (scm_init_add_buffer): procedure removed, together with its static
        buffer scm_addr_buffer, which wouldn't be thread safe.  instead,
        define a macro MAX_ADDR_SIZE and declare the buffer where needed.
        (scm_accept, scm_getpeername, scm_getsockname, scm_recvfrom,
        scm_sendto): use a local buffer instead of scm_addr_buffer.
        adjust for new SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT.  use int for address size,
        not size_t.
        (scm_recvfrom): set addr->sa_family to AF_UNSPEC before the recvfrom
        call to detect whether recvfrom could be bothered to set the address.
        (scm_init_socket): don't call scm_init_addr_buffer.

2001-03-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        scm_array_to_list, scm_array_prototype), validate.h
        (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_COPY):  Don't call function scm_wta, call
        scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg instead.

        * validate.h (SCM_WTA, RETURN_SCM_WTA):  Deprecated.

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): Removed.

        call function scm_wta, call scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg
        instead.

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * goops.c (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): New procedure.

2001-03-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_s_duplicate_formals): New error message string.
        (scm_c_improper_memq): New function.
        (scm_m_lambda): Check for duplicate arguments.
        (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When executing a body: only cons a new
        toplevel environment frame when it is different from the
        existing one; use EVALCAR instead of SIDEVAL so that we can properly
        check for empty combinations; use SCM_EVALIM2 for the same reason
        in the non-toplevel loop.
        (nontoplevel_cdrxnoap, nontoplevel_cdrxbegin, nontoplevel_begin):
        New labels with the meaning of their non-"nontoplevel" partners,
        but they are used when it is known that the body is not evaluated at
        top-level.
        (scm_apply, scm_dapply): use SCM_EVALIM2 to get proper error
        reporting for empty combinations.

2001-03-02  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        (scm_string_ci_geq_p), symbols.c (scm_symbol_p)
        (scm_symbol_to_string, scm_string_to_symbol): Changed use of @t{}

        * strports.c (scm_eval_string): Cleaned up the docstring.

        * struct.c (scm_struct_p, scm_struct_vtable_p): Added texinfo

2001-02-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASSERT_TYPE):  Add missing macro parameter.
        (Obviously nobody compiles with SCM_RECKLESS defined...)

        * validate.h (SCM_ASSERT_RANGE):  Use the argument number.

2001-02-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        scm_make_polar): Rename arguments `z1' and `z2' to `x' and `y',

        * goops.c (scm_make), numbers.c (scm_sys_expt): Fix docstring
        typos.

        * goops.c (scm_add_method, DEFVAR): Use scm_eval instead of
        scm_i_eval.
        (make_class_from_template): Do not bother to set the current
        module around the call to DEFVAR, scm_eval takes care of that.
        (scm_init_goops): Make scm_module_goops and
        scm_goops_lookup_closure permanent objects.
        
        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When evaluating expressions on
        top level, create a fresh top-level environment for each
        expression instead of mutating the exisint frame.  This is
        important when that frame is closed over.

        * numbers.c (s_scm_logior) [SCM_DIGSTOOBIG]: Also use
        SCM_DIGSPERLONG instead of DIGSPERLONG.

2001-02-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Check for wrong number of args

        receiver procedure in call-with-current-continuation.
        (scm_i_eval): Do not invoke scm_copy_tree in argument in SCM_XEVAL
        macro.  The argument is expanded more than one time.

        * numbers.c (scm_logior) [SCM_DIGSTOOBIG]: Correctly use
        SCM_BIGDIG instead of BIGDIG.  Thanks to Steven G. Johnson!

2001-02-20  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): use `SIDEVAL' instead of
        SCM_CEVAL when evaluating subforms of `begin' forms.  SCM_CEVAL
        can not deal with immediates.

2001-02-12  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * list.c (scm_list_copy): Validate the first argument.

2001-02-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * modules.h. modules.c (scm_current_module_lookup_closure): New
        function.

        prototypes.
        (scm_i_eval, scm_i_eval_x, scm_eval, scm_eval_x): Changed argument
        names to better reflect their meaning.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Recognize when `begin' is being
        evaluated at top-level and synronize lookup closure before
        executing every subform.
        (scm_primitve_eval_x, scm_primitive_eval): New functions.
        (scm_eval_x, scm_eval): Reimplement in terms of
        scm_primitive_eval_x and scm_primitive_eval, respectively.

        scm_selected_module to scm_current_module to synchronize Scheme
        and C names.
        (scm_select_module, scm_set_current_module): Likewise.  Changed
        all uses.
        
        * ports.c (scm_port_for_each): Make a snapshot of the port table
        before iterating over it.  The table might change while the user
        code is running.  With the snapshot, the user can depend on the
        fact that each port that existed at the start of the iteration is
        encountered exactly once.  (ice-9 popen) depends on this.

        checking of the size parameter for type correctness and valid
        range.  Thanks to Rob Browning for reporting the problem.  Instead
        of deferring interrupts, scm_remember_upto_here_1 is used.

        * fports.c (fport_write): bugfix: handle short writes for
        unbuffered ports too.  optimize the buffered case by minimizing
        the number of write/flush calls.
        (write_all): new helper procedure.
