89 2001-03-10 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

96 make-buffered-input-port.
98 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

150 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.

233 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
234 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
235 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
236 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
237 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
238 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
239 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
241 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
243 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
244 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
246 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
248 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
251 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
253 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
256 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
258 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
260 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
262 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
263 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
264 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
265 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
266 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

271 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
272 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
273 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
274 make-shared-substring.
276 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
278 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
279 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
280 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
281 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
284 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
286 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
287 and open-output-pipe.
289 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
291 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
292 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
293 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
294 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
295 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
296 Pirotte for the bug report).
297 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
298 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
300 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
302 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

320 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
322 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
323 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
324 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
326 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
327 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
328 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
329 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
330 actual documentation entries themselves.
332 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

362 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
364 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
365 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never

369 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
372 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

395 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
397 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
398 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
399 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
400 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
401 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
403 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
405 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

469 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber

499 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

502 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.

543 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
546 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
547 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
548 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
549 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
550 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
551 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
552 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive

569 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
570 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
571 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
572 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
573 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
574 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
576 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
578 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
579 accept complex numbers as parameter.

589 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
590 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
591 instead of remove-if when iterating.
592 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
593 delete-if! when iterating.
595 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
597 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
599 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
601 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
603 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
605 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
606 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
607 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
608 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
610 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
612 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
613 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
615 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
617 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
618 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
619 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
620 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
622 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
624 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
625 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
627 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
629 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
630 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
632 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
634 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
637 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
639 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
640 source of the numerous very short changes.
642 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
644 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
647 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
650 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
652 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
655 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
657 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
658 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
660 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
662 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
665 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
667 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
668 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
669 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
671 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
673 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
674 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
675 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
676 Narazaki for this change.
678 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
680 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
681 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
684 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
685 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
687 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
689 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
690 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
692 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
694 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
695 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
696 use define-public to export from the module.
698 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
700 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
701 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
702 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
704 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
706 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
708 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
710 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
711 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
713 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
715 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
717 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
719 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
721 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
723 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
724 long_long uniform vectors.
726 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
728 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
729 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
731 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
733 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
734 script to create generated files like this one.
736 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
738 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
739 available before using getpw and getuid.
740 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
741 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
743 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
744 check for .guile, instead of stat.
745 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
747 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
748 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
749 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
751 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
752 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
754 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
756 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
758 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
761 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
762 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
764 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
766 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
768 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
769 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
770 ("position"): New command.
771 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
772 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
773 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
774 to return a valid state.)
775 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
777 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
779 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
780 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
783 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
785 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
786 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
788 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
790 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
792 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
794 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
795 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
797 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
798 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
799 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
801 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
804 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
806 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
807 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
809 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
811 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
813 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
814 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
815 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
816 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
818 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
821 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
822 both forward and backward views of the stack
823 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
824 Use selector `frame-number';
825 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
826 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
828 Use readline conditionally.
830 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
832 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
833 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
834 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
836 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
837 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
840 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
842 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
844 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
846 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
848 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
850 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
852 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
853 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
854 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
855 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
856 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
857 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
858 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
859 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
860 libguile-config-stamp.
861 * version.scm.in: Delete.
862 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
863 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
864 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
865 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
867 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
869 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
870 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
871 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
873 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
874 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
875 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
876 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
879 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
881 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
883 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
885 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
887 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
888 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
890 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
892 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
893 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
894 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
895 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
896 objects starting with '#/'.
898 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
900 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
901 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
902 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
903 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
904 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
905 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
907 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
908 module-modified): New procedures.
909 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
910 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
912 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
914 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
917 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
919 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
920 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
921 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
923 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
926 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
928 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
929 at multiple calls to read.
930 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
931 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
932 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
933 continued-lines prompt.
935 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
938 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
940 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
941 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
943 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
945 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
946 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
949 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
951 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
952 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
954 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
955 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
956 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
957 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
958 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
961 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
963 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
964 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
966 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
968 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
969 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
970 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
971 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
973 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
975 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
977 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
978 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
979 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
982 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
984 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
985 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
986 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
987 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
988 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
989 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
990 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
991 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
992 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
993 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
994 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
996 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
998 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
999 peeked from the stream.
1000 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1001 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1002 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1004 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1006 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1007 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1009 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1011 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1012 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1013 exiting repl with single control-D.
1015 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1017 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1018 error catching loop after quit received.
1019 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1021 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1022 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1023 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1025 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1026 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1028 * popen.scm: new file.
1030 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1032 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1033 (reverse-iota): removed.
1035 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1037 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1038 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1040 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1042 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1043 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1044 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1045 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1046 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1048 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1050 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1052 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1053 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1055 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1056 Guile's module system.
1058 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1060 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1061 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1062 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1063 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1064 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1065 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1067 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1068 '() when the condition is false.
1070 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1072 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1074 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1076 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1078 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1080 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1081 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1082 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1084 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1086 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1087 argument order for hash-fold.
1089 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1091 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1093 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1094 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1096 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1097 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1098 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1099 has been added to the load path).
1101 Use try-load-module.
1103 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1105 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1106 module between system and user state.
1108 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1110 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1112 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1115 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1117 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1118 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1119 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1121 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1124 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1125 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1126 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1127 stack frame encountered.
1129 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1130 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1131 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1132 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1135 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1136 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1137 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1138 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1141 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1142 define-module switches:
1144 (define-module (foo)
1147 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1150 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1151 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1152 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1153 module it is a system frame.
1155 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1156 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1157 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1158 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1159 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1161 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1162 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1163 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1164 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1165 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1166 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1168 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1169 status of a module.;
1170 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1171 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1173 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1174 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1175 closure to the module.
1177 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1179 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1181 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1183 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1185 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1187 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1189 Fix from Russ McManus:
1190 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1191 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1192 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1193 either an optional or required value.
1195 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1197 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1199 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1200 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1202 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1203 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1204 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1205 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1207 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1209 * optargs.scm: New file.
1210 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1211 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1213 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1215 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1216 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1217 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1219 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1222 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1225 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1227 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1229 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1231 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1232 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1233 applied to the module itself.
1235 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1237 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1239 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1240 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1242 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1246 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1248 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1250 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1252 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1253 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1255 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1257 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1258 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1259 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1260 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1261 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1262 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1263 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1265 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1267 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1268 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1270 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1272 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1273 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1276 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1278 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1280 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1282 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1284 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1286 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1287 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1288 adapt to the new hooks.
1290 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1292 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1293 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1294 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1296 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1297 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1299 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1300 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1301 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1302 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1303 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1304 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1305 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1306 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1307 first to register linked modules.
1309 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1310 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1311 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1313 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1314 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1315 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1316 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1318 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1320 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1323 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1324 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1325 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1327 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1329 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1330 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1331 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1333 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1335 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1336 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1337 result of the last form.
1339 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1341 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1344 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1346 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1347 readline-set!: New options interface.
1349 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1351 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1353 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1354 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1356 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1358 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1359 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1361 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1363 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1364 interactive session.
1365 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1367 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1368 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1370 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1372 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1374 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1376 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1377 read line was empty.
1379 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1381 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1382 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1384 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1386 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1388 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1389 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1390 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1392 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1393 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1395 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1396 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1397 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1399 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1400 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1401 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1402 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1403 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1404 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1406 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1408 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1409 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1411 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1413 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1414 and short vectors #h(...).
1416 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1418 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1419 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1420 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1422 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1424 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1425 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1426 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1428 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1430 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1431 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1433 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1434 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1435 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1436 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1438 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1440 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1443 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1444 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1445 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1446 context with traps enabled.
1448 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1450 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1452 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1454 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1456 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1457 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1458 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1459 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1460 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1462 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1464 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1465 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1467 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1469 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1471 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1473 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1475 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1477 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1479 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1481 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1482 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1484 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1486 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1487 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1488 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1489 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1492 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1493 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1494 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1496 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1498 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1499 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1500 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1501 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1502 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1503 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1504 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1506 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1508 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1510 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1512 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1513 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1514 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1515 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1516 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1517 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1519 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1521 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1522 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1523 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1526 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1528 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1530 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1532 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1534 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1536 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1539 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1541 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1543 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1545 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1546 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1548 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1550 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1551 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1552 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1553 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1555 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1556 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1558 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1560 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1562 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1564 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1565 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1568 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1569 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1571 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1572 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1573 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1575 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1577 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1579 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1581 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1582 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1584 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1586 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1588 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1590 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1591 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1593 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1595 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1598 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1600 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1601 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1603 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1605 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1607 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1609 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1612 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1614 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1615 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1616 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1617 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1618 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1621 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1623 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1624 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1625 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1627 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1629 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1631 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1632 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1634 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1636 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1637 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1638 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1639 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1640 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1641 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1642 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1645 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1647 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1650 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1652 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1653 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1654 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1655 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1656 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1657 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1659 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1661 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1662 usefully so they will work from a script.
1664 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1666 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1667 neighborhood of the record code.
1669 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1671 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1672 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1673 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1674 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1676 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1678 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1679 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1680 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1682 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1684 Add support for readline function.
1685 * readline.scm: New module.
1686 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1687 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1688 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1690 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1691 repl-reader to use them.
1692 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1694 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1696 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1698 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1699 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1701 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1703 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1704 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1705 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1707 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1710 #f, abort terminates the process.
1711 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1712 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1714 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1716 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1717 print-state, throw it away.
1719 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1721 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1724 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1726 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1727 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1728 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1729 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1731 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1732 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1734 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1736 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1738 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1740 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1741 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1742 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1743 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1744 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1746 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1747 distribution and installation.

1754 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1756 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1757 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1758 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1760 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1761 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1764 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1766 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1768 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1770 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1772 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1773 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1774 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1775 field a separate argument.
1777 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1779 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1781 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1783 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1789 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1791 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1794 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1795 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1796 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1797 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1798 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1800 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1801 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1802 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1803 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1804 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1807 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1809 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1818 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1820 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1821 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1822 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1823 expansion inside the slib module.
1825 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1827 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1835 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1836 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1837 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1839 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1840 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1843 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1845 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1846 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1848 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1850 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1851 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1863 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1865 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1866 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1867 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1868 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1869 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1871 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1872 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1873 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1875 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1876 the syncase interface.
1878 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1880 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1881 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1882 workings of the current module system).
1884 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1886 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1887 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1896 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1898 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1899 according to the following priorities:
1900 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1901 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1903 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1904 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1905 (new-interpreter): New function.
1907 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1908 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1909 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1911 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1913 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1915 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1917 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1925 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1927 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1928 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1933 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1934 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1939 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1942 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1943 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1944 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1945 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1946 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1948 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1949 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1951 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1953 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1954 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1956 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1957 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1959 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1961 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1963 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1964 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

1983 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1985 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1986 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1987 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1989 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1990 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1993 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1994 order to narrow it correctly.
1995 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2008 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2009 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2011 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2013 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2014 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2015 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2017 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2019 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2022 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2024 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

2030 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2032 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

2049 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2050 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2051 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2052 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2053 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2054 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2056 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2057 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2058 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2059 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2061 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2063 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2064 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2065 sending in bug reports.
2066 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2067 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2068 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2069 display a warning if the two are different.
2070 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2071 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2072 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2078 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2080 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2081 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2083 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2084 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2085 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2086 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2087 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2088 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2091 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2092 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2095 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2096 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2098 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2101 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2104 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2106 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2109 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2111 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2112 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2114 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2116 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2117 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2118 to support printing of structures.
2119 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2120 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2121 commented out printing code.
2122 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2123 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

2132 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2133 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2134 during call to scm-style-repl.
2136 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2138 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2139 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2140 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2141 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2142 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2144 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2146 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2147 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2150 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2152 * regex.scm: New file.
2153 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2154 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2156 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2158 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2159 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2160 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2161 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2163 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2165 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2168 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2170 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2171 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2172 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2174 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2176 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2177 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2180 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2182 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2184 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2186 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2188 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2190 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2191 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2194 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2196 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2197 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2198 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2200 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2202 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2203 the Scheme code like code yet.
2204 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2206 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2208 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2209 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2210 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2212 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2214 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2216 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2219 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2221 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2223 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2225 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2227 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2228 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2229 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2231 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2233 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2234 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2235 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2237 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2239 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2240 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2242 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2244 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2247 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2249 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2251 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2253 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2254 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2256 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2258 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2259 instead of in libguile.
2260 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2261 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2263 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2265 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2267 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2268 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2270 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2272 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2273 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2275 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2277 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2278 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2279 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2280 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2282 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2284 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2285 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2287 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2289 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2291 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2293 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2294 keywords and symbols.
2296 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2298 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2300 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2301 Don't define read-sharp.
2303 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2304 (read-sharp): removed.
2305 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2306 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2308 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2310 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2312 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2313 primitive procedure.)
2315 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2316 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2318 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2320 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2322 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2324 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2326 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2328 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2330 * (exit): alias for quit.
2332 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2334 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2335 return the quit args.
2336 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2337 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2338 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2340 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2342 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2344 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2346 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2347 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2349 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2350 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2352 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2353 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2356 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2358 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2360 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2361 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2362 Change hooks to use these functions.
2364 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2365 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2366 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2368 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2369 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2370 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2371 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2372 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2373 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2374 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2377 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2378 and exit-frame exceptions.
2380 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2381 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2382 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2383 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2384 result; otherwise display "> ".
2385 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2387 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2388 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2389 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2390 repository version runnable.
2392 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2394 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2395 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2396 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2397 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2398 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2399 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2401 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2403 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2404 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2406 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2408 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2409 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2411 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2413 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2415 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2417 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2420 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2422 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2423 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2425 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2427 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2430 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2432 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2433 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2435 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2437 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2439 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2440 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2441 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2442 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2443 dynamic linking of modules.
2444 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2445 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2447 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2449 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2451 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2453 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2456 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2457 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2460 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2462 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2463 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2464 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2466 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2468 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2469 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2472 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2474 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2475 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2476 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2478 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2480 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2481 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2482 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2483 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2485 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2486 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2487 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2488 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2489 (such as the-scm-module).
2491 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2493 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2496 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2498 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2499 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2500 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2502 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2504 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2505 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2506 function, use it accordingly.
2508 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2510 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2511 function of no arguments.
2512 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2513 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2514 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2515 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2516 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2517 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2518 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2519 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2521 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2523 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2524 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2526 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2528 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2529 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2530 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2531 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2532 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2534 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2537 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2538 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2539 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2540 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2542 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2544 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2546 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2547 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2548 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2550 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2553 Added `before-read-hook'.
2555 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2557 (provide): New function.
2559 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2562 (backtrace): New function.
2564 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2565 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2566 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2567 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2568 is found in operator position in a frame.
2570 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2573 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2574 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2575 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2577 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2579 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2581 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2583 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2585 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2587 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2589 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2590 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2592 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2593 so they'll get distributed.
2595 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2596 should see as little clutter as possible.
2597 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2598 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2599 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2601 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2602 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2603 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2604 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2605 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2606 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2607 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2608 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2609 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2610 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2612 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2613 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2615 * test.scm: New file.
2617 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2618 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2619 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2621 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2622 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2624 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2626 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2627 call %load-announce.
2629 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2631 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2632 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2633 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2635 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2637 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2639 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2640 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2641 SCSH (which this isn't).
2643 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2645 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2647 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2649 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2650 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2651 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2653 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2654 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2655 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2656 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2659 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2661 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2663 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2665 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2666 error-catching-loop.
2667 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2668 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2669 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2671 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2672 error-catching-loop.
2674 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2676 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2677 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2678 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2679 should be '(), not #f.
2681 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2682 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2684 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2686 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2687 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2690 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2692 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2693 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2694 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2695 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2697 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2699 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2701 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2703 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2705 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2706 throw-handler-default.
2707 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2709 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2711 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2712 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2714 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2716 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2717 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2718 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2719 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2721 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2723 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2724 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2725 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2726 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2728 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2729 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2730 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2731 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2734 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2736 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2738 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2741 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2744 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2746 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2748 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2749 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2751 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2753 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2755 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2757 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2759 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2760 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2761 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2762 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2763 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2765 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2766 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2767 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2768 they seem redundant.
2769 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2770 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2771 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2772 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2773 directly files starting with "/").
2774 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2775 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2777 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2779 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2781 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2782 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2783 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2784 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2785 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2786 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2787 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2788 robust to just do it in the C code.
2790 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2792 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2793 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2794 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2795 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2796 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2798 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2800 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2801 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2802 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2804 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2806 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2807 system-error, not every kind of error.
2808 (scm-error): new procedure.
2810 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2812 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2814 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2816 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2817 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2818 of args are supplied.
2819 (%%system-errors): removed.
2820 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2821 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2822 %%handle-system-error.
2823 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2824 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2825 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2826 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2828 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2830 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2831 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2832 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2833 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2835 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2837 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2838 the empty list if they are #f.
2839 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2841 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2843 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2845 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2846 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2847 aborting, just the key and subr.
2848 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2849 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2850 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2852 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2854 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2855 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2856 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2857 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2858 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2860 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2862 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2863 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2864 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2865 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2867 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2869 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2870 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2871 initialize %load-path.
2873 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2874 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2876 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2878 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2879 Add the directory named after the version number.
2880 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2881 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2882 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2883 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2884 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2885 (install): Create the above directories.
2886 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2887 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2889 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2891 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2892 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2893 in the Makefile directly.
2894 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2896 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2898 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2899 here, where people expect to find them.
2901 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2903 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2904 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2906 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2908 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2910 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2911 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2913 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2915 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2916 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2918 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2919 weak-key-hash-table.
2921 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2923 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2924 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2925 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2926 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2927 (%open-file): removed.
2928 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2929 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2931 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2933 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2934 (manifest): Deleted.
2935 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2936 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2938 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2940 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2941 now that they throw errors directly.
2942 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2943 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2945 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2947 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2949 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2951 * The more things change...
