1 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
5 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
7 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
8 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
11 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
12 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
14 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
15 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
16 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
18 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
20 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
22 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
24 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
25 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
27 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
29 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
31 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
33 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
34 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
36 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
38 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
41 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
43 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
44 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
46 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
48 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
50 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
52 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
55 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
57 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
58 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
59 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
60 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
61 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
64 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
66 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
67 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
68 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
70 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
72 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
74 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
75 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
77 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
79 * * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
80 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
81 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
82 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
83 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
84 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
85 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
88 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
90 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
93 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
95 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
96 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
97 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
98 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
99 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
100 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
102 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
104 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
105 usefully so they will work from a script.
107 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
109 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
110 neighborhood of the record code.
112 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
114 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
115 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
116 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
117 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
119 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
121 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
122 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
123 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
125 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
127 Add support for readline function.
128 * readline.scm: New module.
129 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
130 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
131 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
133 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
134 repl-reader to use them.
135 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
137 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
139 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
141 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
142 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
144 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
146 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
147 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
148 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
150 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
152 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
153 #f, abort terminates the process.
154 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
155 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
157 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
159 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
160 print-state, throw it away.
162 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
164 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
167 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
169 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
170 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
171 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
172 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
174 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
175 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
177 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
179 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
181 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
183 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
184 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
185 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
186 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
187 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
189 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
190 distribution and installation.

197 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
199 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
200 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
201 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
203 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
204 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
207 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
209 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
211 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

215 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
216 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
217 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
218 field a separate argument.
220 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
222 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
224 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
226 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
230 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

237 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
238 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
239 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
240 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
241 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
243 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
244 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
245 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
246 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
247 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

257 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
259 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
261 * * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
263 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
264 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
265 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
266 expansion inside the slib module.
268 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
270 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
271 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

276 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
278 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
279 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
280 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
282 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
283 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
286 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
288 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
289 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
291 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
293 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
294 (make-module): Modified initialization.
295 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
296 mutator for module-associated transformer.

300 * (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
302 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
304 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
306 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
308 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
309 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
310 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
311 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
312 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
314 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
315 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
316 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
318 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
319 the syncase interface.
321 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
323 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
324 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
325 workings of the current module system).
327 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
329 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
330 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

335 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
336 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

339 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
341 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
342 according to the following priorities:
343 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
344 2. bindings from the-scm-module
346 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
347 disabling the scheme interpreter.
348 (new-interpreter): New function.
350 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
351 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
352 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
354 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
356 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
358 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
360 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
362 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
364 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
366 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
368 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
370 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
371 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
374 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
376 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
377 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
378 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
379 symbols matching regexp.
381 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
382 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
385 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
386 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
387 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
388 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
389 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the

392 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
394 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
396 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
397 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
399 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
400 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
402 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
404 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
406 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

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

451 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
452 builtin `with-fluids*'.
454 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
456 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
457 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
458 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

469 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
470 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
471 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
473 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

492 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
493 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
494 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
495 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
496 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
497 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
499 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
500 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
501 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
502 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
504 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
506 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
507 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
508 sending in bug reports.
509 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
510 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
511 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
512 display a warning if the two are different.
513 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
514 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.

527 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
528 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
529 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
530 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
531 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
534 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
535 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
538 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
539 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
541 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
544 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
547 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
549 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
552 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
554 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
555 vtable and not the one of the struct.
557 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
559 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
560 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
561 to support printing of structures.
562 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
563 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
564 commented out printing code.
565 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
566 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
568 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
570 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
572 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
574 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
575 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
576 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
577 during call to scm-style-repl.
579 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
581 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
582 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
583 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
584 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
585 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
587 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
589 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
590 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
593 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
595 * regex.scm: New file.
596 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
597 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
599 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
601 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
602 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
603 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
604 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
606 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
608 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
611 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
613 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
614 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
615 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
617 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
619 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
620 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
623 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
625 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
627 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
629 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
631 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
633 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
634 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
637 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
639 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
640 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
641 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
643 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
645 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
646 the Scheme code like code yet.
647 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
649 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
651 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
652 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
653 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
655 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
657 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
659 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
662 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
664 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
666 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
668 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
670 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
671 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
672 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
674 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
676 Get 'make dist' to work again.
677 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
678 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
680 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
682 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
683 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
685 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
687 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
690 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
692 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
694 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
696 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
697 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
699 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
701 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
702 instead of in libguile.
703 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
704 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
706 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
708 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
710 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
711 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
713 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
715 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
716 sockaddr:port): new functions.
718 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
720 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
721 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
722 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
723 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
725 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
727 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
728 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
730 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
732 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
734 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
736 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
737 keywords and symbols.
739 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
741 * slib.scm: update read usage.
743 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
744 Don't define read-sharp.
746 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
747 (read-sharp): removed.
748 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
749 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
751 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
753 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
755 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
756 primitive procedure.)
758 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
759 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
761 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
763 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
765 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
767 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
769 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
771 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
773 * (exit): alias for quit.
775 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
777 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
778 return the quit args.
779 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
780 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
781 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
783 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
785 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
787 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
789 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
790 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
792 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
793 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
795 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
796 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
799 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
801 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
803 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
804 (add-hooks!): New macro.
805 Change hooks to use these functions.
807 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
808 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
809 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
811 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
812 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
813 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
814 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
815 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
816 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
817 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
820 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
821 and exit-frame exceptions.
823 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
824 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
825 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
826 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
827 result; otherwise display "> ".
828 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
830 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
831 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
832 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
833 repository version runnable.
835 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
837 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
838 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
839 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
840 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
841 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
842 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
844 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
846 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
847 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
849 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
851 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
852 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
854 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
856 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
858 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
860 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
863 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
865 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
866 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
868 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
870 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
873 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
875 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
876 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
878 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
880 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
882 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
883 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
884 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
885 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
886 dynamic linking of modules.
887 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
888 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
890 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
892 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
894 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
896 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
899 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
900 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
903 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
905 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
906 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
907 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
909 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
911 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
912 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
915 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
917 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
918 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
919 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
921 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
923 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
924 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
925 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
926 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
928 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
929 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
930 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
931 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
932 (such as the-scm-module).
934 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
936 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
939 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
941 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
942 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
943 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
945 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
947 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
948 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
949 function, use it accordingly.
951 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
953 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
954 function of no arguments.
955 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
956 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
957 set-current-module): Uses changed.
958 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
959 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
960 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
961 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
962 *top-level-eval-closure*.
964 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
966 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
967 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
969 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
971 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
972 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
973 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
974 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
975 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
977 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
980 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
981 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
982 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
983 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
985 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
987 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
989 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
990 If the user wants to see this, he can do
991 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
993 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
996 Added `before-read-hook'.
998 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1000 (provide): New function.
1002 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1005 (backtrace): New function.
1007 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1008 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1009 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1010 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1011 is found in operator position in a frame.
1013 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1016 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1017 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1018 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1020 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1022 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1024 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1026 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1028 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1030 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1032 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1033 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1035 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1036 so they'll get distributed.
1038 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1039 should see as little clutter as possible.
1040 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1041 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1042 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1044 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1045 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1046 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1047 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1048 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1049 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1050 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1051 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1052 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1053 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1055 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1056 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1058 * test.scm: New file.
1060 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1061 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1062 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1064 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1065 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1067 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1069 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1070 call %load-announce.
1072 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1074 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1075 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1076 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1078 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1080 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1082 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1083 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1084 SCSH (which this isn't).
1086 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1088 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1090 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1092 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1093 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1094 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1096 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1097 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1098 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1099 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1102 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1104 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1106 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1108 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1109 error-catching-loop.
1110 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1111 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1112 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1114 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1115 error-catching-loop.
1117 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1119 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1120 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1121 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1122 should be '(), not #f.
1124 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1125 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1127 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1129 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1130 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1133 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1135 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1136 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1137 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1138 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1140 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1142 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1144 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1146 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1148 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1149 throw-handler-default.
1150 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1152 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1154 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1155 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1157 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1159 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1160 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1161 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1162 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1164 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1166 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1167 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1168 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1169 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1171 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1172 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1173 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1174 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1177 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1179 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1181 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1184 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1187 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1189 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1191 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1192 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1194 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1196 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1198 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1200 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1202 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1203 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1204 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1205 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1206 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1208 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1209 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1210 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1211 they seem redundant.
1212 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1213 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1214 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1215 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1216 directly files starting with "/").
1217 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1218 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1220 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1222 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1224 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1225 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1226 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1227 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1228 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1229 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1230 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
1231 robust to just do it in the C code.
1233 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1235 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
1236 %try-load itself was the primitive.
1237 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1238 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1239 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1241 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1243 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1244 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1245 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1247 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1249 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1250 system-error, not every kind of error.
1251 (scm-error): new procedure.
1253 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1255 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1257 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1259 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1260 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
1261 of args are supplied.
1262 (%%system-errors): removed.
1263 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1264 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1265 %%handle-system-error.
1266 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1267 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1268 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1269 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1271 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1273 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1274 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1275 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1276 %S (embed an argument using "write").
1278 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1280 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1281 the empty list if they are #f.
1282 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1284 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1286 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1288 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1289 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1290 aborting, just the key and subr.
1291 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1292 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1293 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1295 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1297 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1298 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
1299 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1300 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1301 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1303 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1305 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1306 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1307 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1308 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1310 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1312 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1313 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1314 initialize %load-path.
1316 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1317 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1319 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1321 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1322 Add the directory named after the version number.
1323 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1324 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1325 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1326 sitedatadir): New definitions.
1327 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
1328 (install): Create the above directories.
1329 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
1330 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
1332 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1334 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1335 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1336 in the Makefile directly.
1337 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1339 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1341 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
1342 here, where people expect to find them.
1344 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1346 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
1347 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
1349 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
1351 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1353 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1354 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
1356 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1358 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
1359 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
1361 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
1362 weak-key-hash-table.
1364 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1366 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
1367 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
1368 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
1369 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
1370 (%open-file): removed.
1371 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1372 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1374 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1376 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1377 (manifest): Deleted.
1378 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1379 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1381 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1383 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1384 now that they throw errors directly.
1385 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1386 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1388 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1390 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1392 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
1394 * The more things change...
