  66
  67         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
  68         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
  69         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
  70         frame is invoked.
  71

  83
  84         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to

  86         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
  87         module magic.
  88         (eval-when): New macro.

  90         restrict the use of these forms to the top level.

 102

 113
 114         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 115         operating systems.
 116
 117         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

 119         * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
 120         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with

 122         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 123         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.

 125
 126 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 127
 128         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 129         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 130
 131         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 132         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 133
 134         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 135         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 136
 137 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 138
 139         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 140         in C for now.
 141         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 142         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 143
 144 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 145
 146         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 147         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 148         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 149         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 150         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 151         for now.
 152         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 153         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 154
 155 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 158         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 159         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 160         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 161         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 162         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 163         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 164
 165 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 166
 167         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 168         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 169
 170 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 171
 172         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 173         any more.
 174
 175 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 176
 177         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 178         the-root-module.
 179
 180 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 181
 182         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 183
 184 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 185
 186         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 187         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 188         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 189         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 190         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 191         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 192         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 193         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 194         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 195         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 196         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 197         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 198         make-shared-substring.
 199
 200 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 201
 202         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 203         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 204         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 205         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 206         scm-style-repl.
 207
 208 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 209
 210         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 211         and open-output-pipe.
 212
 213 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 214
 215         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 216         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 217         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 218         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 219         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 220         Pirotte for the bug report).
 221         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 222         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 223
 224 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 225
 226         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 227         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
 228
 229 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 232
 233 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 234
 235         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 236         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 237         patch.
 238
 239 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 240
 241         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 242         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 243
 244 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 245
 246         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 247         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 248         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 249
 250         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 251         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 252         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 253         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 254         actual documentation entries themselves.
 255
 256 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 257
 258         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 261
 262         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 263

 267         Convert first argument to a string.
 268
 269         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 270         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 271         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 272         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 285         `symbol-append'.

 287         args.
 288         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 289         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 290         even worked...  /mdj.
 291         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 292         `symbol->string'.
 293         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 294         semantics.
 295
 296 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 297
 298         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

 321         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 322         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 323         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 324         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 325         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

 332         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 333
 334         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 335         syntactic bindings.
 336
 337         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 338         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 339         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 340         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 341
 342         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 353
 354         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to

 361         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 362         lines.
 363         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 364         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 365
 366 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 367
 368         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!

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

 696         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 697         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 698         to return a valid state.)
 699         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 700
 701 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 702
 703         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 704         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 705         Badros.)
 706
 707 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 708
 709         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 710         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 711

 713
 714         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 720
 721         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 722         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 723         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 724         expression.
 725         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 726         Handle errors.
 727
 728 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 729
 730         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 731         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 732
 733         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 734
 735 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 738         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 739         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 740         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 741
 742         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 743         argument.
 744
 745         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 746         both forward and backward views of the stack
 747         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 748         Use selector `frame-number';
 749         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 750         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 751         Use (ice-9 debug).
 752         Use readline conditionally.
 753
 754 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 755
 756         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 757         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 758         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 759
 760         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 761         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 762         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 763
 764 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 765
 766         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 767
 768         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 769
 770         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 771
 772         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 773
 774 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 775
 776         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 777         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 778         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 779         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 780         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 781         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 782         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 783         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 784         libguile-config-stamp.
 785         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 786         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 787         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 788         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 789         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 790
 791 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 792
 793         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 794         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 795         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 798         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 799         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 800         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 801         readline.
 802
 803         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 804
 805 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 806
 807         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 808
 809 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 812         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 813
 814 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 815
 816         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 817         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 818         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 819         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 820         objects starting with '#/'.
 821
 822 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 823
 824         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 825         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 826         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 827         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 828         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 829         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 830         `observer-id'.
 831         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 832         module-modified): New procedures.
 833         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 834         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 835
 836 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 837
 838         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 839         defines.
 840
 841 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 842
 843         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 844         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 845         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 846
 847         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 848         position.
 849
 850 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 851
 852         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 853         at multiple calls to read.
 854         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 855         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 856         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 857         continued-lines prompt.
 858
 859         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 860         reading expressions.
 861
 862 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 863
 864         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 865         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 866
 867 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 868
 869         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 870         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 871         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 872
 873         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 874
 875         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 876         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 877
 878         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 879         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 880         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 881         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 882         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 883         instead of a port.
 884
 885 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 886
 887         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 888         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 889
 890         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 891
 892         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 893         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 894         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 895         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 896
 897         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 898
 899         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 900
 901         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 902         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 903         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 904         an alist.
 905
 906         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 907
 908         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 909         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 910         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 911         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 912         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 913         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 914         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 915         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 916         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 917         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 918         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 919
 920         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 921
 922         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 923         peeked from the stream.
 924         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 925         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 926         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 927
 928         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 929
 930         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 931         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 932
 933         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 934
 935         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 936         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 937         exiting repl with single control-D.
 938
 939         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 940
 941         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 942         error catching loop after quit received.
 943         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 944
 945         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 946         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 947         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 948
 949         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 950         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 951         boot-9.scm.
 952         * popen.scm: new file.
 953
 954 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 955
 956        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 957        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 958
 959 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 960
 961         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 962         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 963
 964 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 965
 966         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 967         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 968         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 969         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 970         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 971
 972 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 973
 974         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 975
 976         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 977         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 978
 979         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 980         Guile's module system.
 981
 982         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 983         changes:
 984         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 985         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 986         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 987         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 988         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 989         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 990         modern CL behavior.
 991         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 992         '() when the condition is false.
 993
 994 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 995
 996         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 997
 998 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 999
1000         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1001
1002 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1003
1004         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1005         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1006         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1007
1008 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1009
1010         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1011         argument order for hash-fold.
1012
1013 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1014
1015         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1016         resolve-module.
1017         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1018         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1019
1020         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1021         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1022         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1023         has been added to the load path).
1024
1025         Use try-load-module.
1026
1027 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1030         module between system and user state.
1031
1032 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1033
1034         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1035
1036         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1037         definition.
1038
1039 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1040
1041         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1042         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1043         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1044
1045 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1046
1047         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1048         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1049         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1050         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1051         stack frame encountered.
1052
1053         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1054         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1055         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1056         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1057         list).]
1058
1059         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1060         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1061         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1062         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1063         please tell me!]
1064
1065         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1066         define-module switches:
1067
1068         (define-module (foo)
1069           :no-backtrace)
1070
1071         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1072         modules.
1073
1074         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1075         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1076         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1077         module it is a system frame.
1078
1079         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1080         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1081         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1082         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1083         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1084
1085         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1086         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1087         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1088         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1089         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1090         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1093         status of a module.;
1094         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1095         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1098         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1099         closure to the module.
1100
1101         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1102
1103 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1104
1105         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1106
1107 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1108
1109         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1110
1111 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1112
1113         Fix from Russ McManus:
1114         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1115         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1116         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1117         either an optional or required value.

1121         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1122
1123         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1124         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1125
1126         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1127         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1128         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1129         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1130
1131 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1132
1133         * optargs.scm: New file.
1134         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1135         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1136
1137 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1138
1139         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1140         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1141         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1142
1143 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1144
1145         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1146         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1147         for isn't loaded.
1148
1149 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1150
1151         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1152
1153 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1154
1155         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1156         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1157         applied to the module itself.
1158
1159 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1160
1161         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1162
1163         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1164         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1165
1166 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1167
1168         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1169
1170 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1171
1172         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1173
1174 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1175
1176         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1177         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1178
1179 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1180
1181         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1182         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1183         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1184         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1185         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1186         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1187         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1188
1189 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1192         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1193
1194 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1195
1196         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1197         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1198         static libraries.
1199
1200 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1201
1202         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1203
1204 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1207
1208 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1209
1210         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1211         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1212         adapt to the new hooks.
1213
1214 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1217         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1218         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1219         code.
1220         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1221         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1222
1223         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1224         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1225         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1226         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1227         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1228         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1229         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1230         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1231         first to register linked modules.
1232
1233         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1234         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1235         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1236
1237         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1238         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1239         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1240         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1241
1242         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1243         to use from C:
1244         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1245         libguile/feature.c.
1246
1247         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1248         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1249         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1250
1251 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1252
1253         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1254         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1255         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1256
1257 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1258
1259         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1260         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1261         result of the last form.
1262
1263 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1264
1265         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1266         syncase.scm.
1267
1268         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1269
1270         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1271         readline-set!: New options interface.
1272
1273         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1274
1275 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1276
1277         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1278         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1279
1280 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1281
1282         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1283         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1284
1285 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1286
1287         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1288         interactive session.
1289         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1290
1291         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1292         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1293
1294 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295
1296         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1297
1298 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1299
1300         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1301         read line was empty.
1302
1303 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1304
1305         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1306         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1307
1308         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1309
1310         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1311         problem.  Duh.
1312         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1313         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1314         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1315
1316         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1317         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1318         into...
1319         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1320         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1321         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1322
1323         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1324         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1325         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1326         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1327         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1328         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1329         psyntax.ss.
1330         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1331
1332         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1333         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1334
1335 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1338         and short vectors #h(...).
1339
1340 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1341
1342         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1343         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1344         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1345
1346 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1347
1348         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1349         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1350         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1351
1352 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1355         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1356
1357         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1358         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1359         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1360         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1361
1362 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1363
1364         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1365         trace flag.
1366
1367         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1368         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1369         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1370         context with traps enabled.
1371
1372 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1373
1374         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1375         module.
1376         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1377
1378 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1379
1380         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1381         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1382         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1383         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1384         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1385
1386 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1387
1388         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1389         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1390
1391 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1392
1393         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1394
1395 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1396
1397         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1398
1399 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1400
1401         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1402
1403 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1404
1405         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1406         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1407
1408 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1409
1410         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1411         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1412         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1413         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1414         Archibald.)
1415
1416         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1417         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1418         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1419
1420 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1421
1422         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1423         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1424         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1425         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1426         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1427         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1428         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1429
1430 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1431
1432         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1433
1434 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1437         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1438         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1439         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1440         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1441         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1442
1443 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1444
1445         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1446         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1447         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1448         Steven G. Johnson.)
1449
1450 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1451
1452         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1453
1454 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1455
1456         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1457
1458 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1459
1460         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1461         be completed.
1462
1463 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1464
1465         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1466
1467 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1468
1469         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1470         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1471
1472 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1473
1474         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1475         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1476         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1477         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1478         transformer.
1479         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1480         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1481
1482 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1483
1484         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1485
1486 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1487
1488         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1489         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1490         completion.
1491
1492         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1493         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1494
1495         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1496         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1497         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1498
1499         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1500
1501 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1502
1503         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1504
1505         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1506         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1507
1508 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1511
1512 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1513
1514         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1515         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1516
1517         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1518
1519         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1520         obsolete.
1521
1522 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1523
1524         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1525         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1526
1527 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1528
1529         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1530
1531 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1532
1533         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1534         Stachowiak.)
1535
1536 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1537
1538         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1539         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1540         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1541         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1542         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1543         threads.
1544
1545 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1546
1547         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1548         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1549         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1550
1551 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1552
1553         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1554
1555         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1556         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1557
1558 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1559
1560         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1561         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1562         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1563         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1564         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1565         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1566         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1567         to go here.
1568
1569 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1570
1571         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1572         is now a fluid.
1573
1574 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1575
1576         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1577         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1578         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1579         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1580         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1581         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1582
1583 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1586         usefully so they will work from a script.
1587
1588 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1589
1590         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1591         neighborhood of the record code.
1592
1593 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1594
1595         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1596         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1597         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1598         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1599
1600 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1601
1602         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1603         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1604         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1605
1606 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1607
1608         Add support for readline function.
1609         * readline.scm: New module.
1610         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1611         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1612         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1613         anything.
1614         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1615         repl-reader to use them.
1616         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1617
1618         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1619
1620 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1621
1622         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1623         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1624
1625 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1626
1627         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1628         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1629         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1630
1631 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1632
1633         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1634         #f, abort terminates the process.
1635         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1636         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1637
1638 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1639
1640         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1641         print-state, throw it away.
1642
1643 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1644
1645         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1646         `0'.
1647
1648 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1649
1650         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1651         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1652         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1653         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1654         user field).
1655         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1656         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1657
1658 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1659
1660         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1661
1662 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1663
1664         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1665         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1666         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1667         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1668         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1669         boot-9.scm.
1670         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1671         distribution and installation.
1672         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1673
1674 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1675
1676         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1677
1678 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1679
1680         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1681         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1682         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1683
1684         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1685         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1686         symbol.
1687
1688 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1689
1690         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1691
1692         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1693
1694 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1697         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1698         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1699         field a separate argument.
1700
1701         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1702
1703 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1704
1705         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1706
1707         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1708         vicinity;
1709         Provide defmacro.
1710
1711 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1712
1713         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1714
1715 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1716
1717         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1718         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1719         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1720         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1721         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1722         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1723         registered.
1724         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1725         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1726         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1727         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1728         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1729         link a .so-file.
1730
1731 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1732
1733         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1734
1735 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1736
1737         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1738         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1739
1740 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1741
1742         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1743
1744         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1745         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1746         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1747         expansion inside the slib module.
1748
1749         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1750         constructors.
1751         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1752         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1753         (let): New core form.
1754         (if): Removed from core language.
1755         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1756         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1757         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1758
1759         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1760         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1761         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1762         source.
1763         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1764         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1765         been loaded.
1766
1767 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1768
1769         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1770         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1771         `use-syntax'.
1772         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1775         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1776         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1777         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1778         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1779         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1780         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1781         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1782         module.
1783         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1784
1785 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1786
1787         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1788
1789         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1790         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1791         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1792         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1793         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1794
1795         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1796         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1797         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1798         syncase macros.
1799         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1800         the syncase interface.
1801
1802 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1803
1804         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1805         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1806         workings of the current module system).
1807
1808 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1809
1810         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1811         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1812         off!
1813
1814 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1815
1816         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1817         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

1821
1822         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1823         according to the following priorities:
1824         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1825         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1826         3. tcl bindings
1827         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1828         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1829         (new-interpreter): New function.
1830
1831         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1832         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1833         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1834
1835 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1850
1851         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1852         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1853         source!
1854
1855 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1863         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used

1865
1866         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1867         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1868         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1869         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1870         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1871         result protocol;

1884
1885 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1886
1887         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1888         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1889         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1890
1891         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1892
1893         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1894         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1895         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

1908
1909         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1910         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1911         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1912
1913         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1914         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1915         the top.
1916
1917         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1918         order to narrow it correctly.

1931
1932         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1933         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1934
1935 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1936
1937         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1938         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1939         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1940
1941 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1944         automatically.
1945
1946 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1947
1948         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1949         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1950         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1951         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1952         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1953
1954 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1955
1956         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1957         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1958         a default of /.
1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1961
1962 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1964         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1965         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1966         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1969         make-regexp.
1970

1972
1973         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1974         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1975         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1976         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1977         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1978         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1979
1980         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1981         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1982         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1983         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1984
1985 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1986
1987         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1988         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1989         sending in bug reports.
1990         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1991         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1992         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1993         display a warning if the two are different.
1994         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1995         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1996         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1997
1998 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1999
2000         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2001
2002 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2003
2004         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2005         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2006
2007         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2008         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2009         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2010         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2011         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2012         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2013         that's okay.
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2016         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2017         regexp interface.
2018
2019         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2020         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2021
2022         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2023         function names.
2024
2025         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2026         fixes.
2027
2028 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2029
2030         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2031         ../configure.in.
2032
2033 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2034
2035         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2036         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2037
2038 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2039
2040         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2041         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2042         to support printing of structures.
2043         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2044         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2045         commented out printing code.
2046         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2047         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2048
2049 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2050
2051         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2052
2053 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2054
2055         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2056         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2057         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2058         during call to scm-style-repl.
2059
2060 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2061
2062         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2063         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2064         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2065         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2066         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2067
2068 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2069
2070         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2071         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2072         (ice-9 regex).
2073
2074 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2075
2076         * regex.scm: New file.
2077         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2078         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2079
2080 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2081
2082         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

2090         in 1997.
2091
2092 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2093
2094         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2095         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2096         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2097
2098 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2099
2100         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2101         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2102         here.
2103
2104 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2105
2106         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2107

2112 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2115         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2116         fixes this too.
2117
2118 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2121         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2122         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2123
2124 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2125
2126         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2127         the Scheme code like code yet.
2128         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2129
2130 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2131
2132         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2133         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2134         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2135
2136 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2139         use-modules macro
2140         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2141         can't be found.
2142
2143 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2144
2145         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2146
2147 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2148
2149         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2150
2151         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2152         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2153         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2154

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

2826
2827         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2828         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2829
2830         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2831
2832 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2833
2834         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2835         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2836
2837 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2838
2839         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2840         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2841
2842         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
