ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
   4         the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
   5         call, per SRFI-13 spec.
   6
   7 2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>
   8
   9         * boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
  10         Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
  11         reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
  12         'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
  13         * syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.
  14
  15 2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  16
  17         * arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.
  18
  19 2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  20
  21         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
  22         Removed.
  23
  24 2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  25
  26         * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
  27         able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
  28         will not.
  29
  30 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  31
  32         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
  33         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
  34
  35 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  36
  37         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
  38         provided by libguile.
  39
  40 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  41
  42         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
  43
  44 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  45
  46         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
  47         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
  48         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
  49         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
  50         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
  51         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
  52
  53 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  54
  55         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
  56         now implemented in C.
  57
  58 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  59
  60         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
  61         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
  62         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
  63         environment.
  64
  65 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  66
  67         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
  68         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
  69         that the bad value gets highlighted.
  70
  71 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  72
  73         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
  74         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
  75
  76         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
  77         support fractions currently.
  78
  79 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  80
  81         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
  82         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
  83         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
  84
  85 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  86
  87         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
  88
  89         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
  90
  91 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  92
  93         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
  94         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
  95         regexp/basic.
  96
  97 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  98
  99         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
 100         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
 101
 102 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 103
 104         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
 105
 106 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 107
 108         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
 109         of unmemoize.
 110         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
 111
 112 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 113
 114         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
 115         provides that feature.
 116         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
 117         provides that feature.
 118
 119 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 120
 121         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
 122
 123         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
 124         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
 125         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
 126         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
 127         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
 128
 129 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 130
 131         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 132         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 133         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 134         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 135         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 136         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 137         required by latest slib.
 138         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 139         per slib spec.
 140         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 141         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 142
 143 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 144
 145         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 146         ~{...~} control structure.
 147
 148 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 149
 150         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 151         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 152
 153         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 154
 155         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 156         rationalize, since they now exist.
 157
 158 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 159
 160         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 161         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 162
 163 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 166         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 167         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 168         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 169         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 170
 171 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 172
 173         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 174         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 175         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 176         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 177
 178 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 179
 180         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 181         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 182         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 183
 184 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 185
 186         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 187         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 188
 189 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 190
 191         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 192
 193 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 194
 195         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 196
 197         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 198
 199 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 200
 201         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 202         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 203         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 204         using separate build directory.
 205
 206 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 207
 208         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 209         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 210
 211 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 212
 213         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 214         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 215
 216 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 217
 218         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 219         accordance with slib spec.
 220
 221         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 222         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 223         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 224         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 225         to depend on expansion environment.
 226
 227 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 228
 229         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 230         being set.
 231
 232 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 233
 234         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 235         Reported by Richard Todd.
 236
 237 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 238
 239         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 240         to depend on expansion environment.
 241
 242         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 243         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 244         longer in the guile core.
 245
 246 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 247
 248         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 249         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 250
 251 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 252
 253         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 254
 255 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 256
 257         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 258
 259 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 260
 261         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 262         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 263         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 264         REPL's backtrace.
 265
 266         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 267         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 268         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 269         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 270         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 271
 272         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 273
 274 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 275
 276         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 277
 278 2003-10-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 279
 280         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
 281         debug immediately on connection.
 282         (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
 283
 284         * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
 285         Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
 286         handler.
 287
 288 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 289
 290         * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done.  Thanks
 291         to Paul Jarc!
 292
 293 2003-10-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 294
 295         * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
 296         actually traverse the given alist.
 297
 298 2003-10-06  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 299
 300         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 301         support.
 302         (ui-eval): New.
 303
 304 2003-10-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 305
 306         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 307         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 308         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 309         ui-continue-async-thread.
 310         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 311         cause following select to pop immediately.
 312
 313 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 314
 315         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 316         progress on new debugging front end).
 317
 318 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 319
 320         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 321         New.
 322
 323         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 324         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 325         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 326         (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 327
 328         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 329         string, read from it before evaluating.
 330         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 331
 332 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 333
 334         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 335         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.
 336
 337 2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 338
 339         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
 340         reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
 341
 342 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 343
 344         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 345         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 346         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 347         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 348         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 349
 350 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 351
 352         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
 353         the obarray, not an empty vector.
 354         (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
 355         for empty ones.
 356
 357         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 358         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 359         already locked.
 360         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 361
 362 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 363
 364         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 365         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 366
 367 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 368
 369         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 370         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 371         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 372
 373         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 374         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 375
 376 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 377
 378         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 379
 380 2003-05-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 381

 441
 442         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 443         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 444         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 445

 453         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
 454         has been loaded.  This is so that people can put them as default
 455         handlers without worrying about availability.
 456
 457         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 497
 498         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

 505         (module-use!, module-use-interfaces!): Remove existing interfaces
 506         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface
 507         identity so that custom interfaces truly replaces their previous

 537
 538         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 539         (since the size now adapts).
 540         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.

 550
 551 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 554
 555 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 556
 557         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 558         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 559         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 560
 561 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 562

 568         futures.
 569
 570 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 571
 572         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 573
 574         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 575         operator as a primitive procedure.
 576         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 577
 578 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
 581         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
 582
 583 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 584
 585         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 586         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 587         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 588         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 589         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 590         self-evaluating).
 591         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 592         (external-macro): New syntax type.
 593
 594         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.

 597
 598         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 599
 600         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 601         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 602         created in the correct module.
 603         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 604         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 605         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 606         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 607         created from within psyntax.pp).
 608         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 609         transformation.
 610
 611 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 614         (make-timer): New function.
 615
 616         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 617
 618         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 619
 620 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 621
 622         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 623         module is defined.
 624         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 625
 626 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 627
 628         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 629
 630 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 631
 632         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 633         joing-thread.
 634         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 635         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 636
 637 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 638
 639         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 640         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 641
 642 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 643
 644         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.
 645
 646 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 647
 648         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 649         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 650
 651         * debugger/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->

 653
 654         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 655
 656 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 657
 658         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 659          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 660
 661         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 662         defmacros.

 665
 666         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 667         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 668
 669 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 670
 671         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 672         following changes:
 673
 674         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 675
 676         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 677         %system-define.
 678
 679         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 680         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 681
 682 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 683
 684         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 685         has been removed from the core.
 686
 687 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 688
 689         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 690         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 691         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 692         'real' macro definitions.

 695
 696         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 697         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 698
 699 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 700
 701         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 702         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 703
 704 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 705
 706         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 707         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 708
 709 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 710
 711         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 712         change below.

 714         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 715         recording when module is loaded.
 716         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 717

 721         code.
 722
 723         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 724         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 725         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 726         readline).)
 727
 728 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 729
 730         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 731         it is not thread-safe.
 732
 733 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 734
 735         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 739
 740         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 741         `guile-debugger' package ...

 749
 750         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 751         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 752         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for

 762         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 763         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 764         execution from a breakpoint.
 765
 766         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 767         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 768         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 769         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

 778         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 779         should be unnecessary now.

 781 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 782
 783         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 784         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 785         the-root-module.
 786
 787 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 788
 789         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 790         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 791         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 792         unmask-signals.
 793
 794 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 795

 798
 799 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 800
 801         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 802         >= 0.
 803
 804 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 807         limit the signal stack.
 808
 809 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 810

 812
 813 2002-09-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 814
 815         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
 816
 817 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 818
 819         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 820         that we can use define-syntax.
 821         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 822
 823 2002-09-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 826         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 827         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 828         variables instead of the current module.
 829
 830 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 831
 832         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 837         mmacro.
 838
 839 2002-06-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 842         for SCM compatibility.
 843         (file-position): simplify definition.
 844
 845 2002-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 846
 847         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Use seek instead of fseek.

 855         * boot-9.scm (unsetenv): New, for completeness.
 856
 857 2002-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 858
 859         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 860         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 861         exponents.
 862
 863 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 864
 865         * syncase.scm: Use (ice-9 threads) so that with-mutex is defined.

 867 2002-04-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@giblet.glug.org>
 868
 869         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.
 870

 892
 893         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 894         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 895         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 896
 897         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 898

 910
 911         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 912         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 913         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 914         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 915
 916 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 917
 918         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 919
 920         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 921         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 922         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 923
 924 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 925
 926         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 927         these in the core.
 928
 929 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 930

 933
 934         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 935         positions.
 936
 937 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 938
 939         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 940         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 941         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 942
 943         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 944           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 949           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 950           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 951           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 952           exporting bindings.
 953
 954 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 955
 956         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 957         :re-export-syntax
 958
 959 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 960
 961         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 962         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 963         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 964         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 965
 966 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 967
 968         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 969         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 970         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 971         builtin-variable.
 972
 973 2001-09-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 976
 977 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 978
 979         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 980
 981         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 982
 983 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 984
 985         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 986         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 987
 988 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 989
 990         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 991         the `arglist' procedure property.
 992         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 993         present a more detailed argument list.
 994
 995         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 996
 997 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 998
 999         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
1000         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
1001         Skarda.
1002
1003 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1004
1005         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
1006
1007         (feature?): Deprecated.
1008
1009         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

1017
1018         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
1019         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
1020
1021         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
1022         functionality.
1023
1024         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
1025         needed to trick export.
1026
1027 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1028
1029         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
1030
1031 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1032
1033         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
1034
1035         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
1036
1037 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1038
1039         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1040         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1041         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1042
1043 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1044
1045         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1046         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
1047
1048 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1049
1050         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1053
1054         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
1055         Touch up docstrings.
1056         Augment commentary.
1057
1058 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1059
1060         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
1061         last-command fluid is not yet set.
1062
1063 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

1065         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1066
1067         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

1069         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1070
1071 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1072
1073         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1074         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1075
1076 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1077
1078         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

1080
1081 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1082
1083         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
1084         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
1085         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1086         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1087         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1088
1089 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1090
1091         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
1092         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
1093         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
1094
1095 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1096
1097         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1098         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1099
1100 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1101
1102         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1103         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1104         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1105         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1106
1107         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1108         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1109         since there aren't definitions for them.
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1112         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1113
1114 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1115
1116         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1117         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1118
1119 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1120
1121         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1122         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1123
1124 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1125
1126         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1127         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1128         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1129
1130 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1137
1138         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1139         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1140
1141         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1142         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1143         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1144         New.
1145
1146 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1147
1148         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1149         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1150
1151 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1152
1153         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1154         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1157         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
1158         evaluator trap options.)
1159
1160 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

1178
1179         * match.scm:
1180         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1181         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1182         No longer require `pretty-print'.
1183
1184         (slib:error): Delete.
1185         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1186
1187         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1188
1189         * README: New file.
1190

1194         Update copyright.
1195
1196 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1199         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1200         rdelim) module.  See below.
1201
1202 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if

1206
1207 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1208
1209         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1210         unknown objects.
1211
1212         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1213         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1214         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1215
1216         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1217         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1218         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1219         Köppe!

1221 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1222
1223         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1224         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1225         variable, not just a visible one.
1226         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1227         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1228         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1229         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1230         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1231         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1232         variables.
1233         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1234
1235         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1236         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1237
1238 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1239
1240         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1241         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1242
1243 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1244
1245         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1246
1247 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1248
1249         Added exception notice to all files.
1250
1251         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1252         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1253         importing bindings once in a while.
1254
1255 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1256
1257         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1258         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1259         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1260         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1261         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1262         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1263         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1264         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1265         message.
1266         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1267         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1268
1269 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1270
1271         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1272         fix command so that it works.
1273
1274         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1275         to access unbound variables.
1276
1277         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1278         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1279         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1280         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1281         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1282
1283 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1284
1285         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1286         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1287         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1288         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1289         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1290         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1291         argument for process-define-module.
1292         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1293         arguments for process-use-modules.
1294         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1295
1296 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1299         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1300         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1301         module.
1302
1303         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1304         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1305         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1306

1314
1315 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1325
1326 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1327
1328         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1329         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1330
1331         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1332         `display'.
1333
1334 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1335
1336         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1337         * match.scm: Likewise.
1338         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1339         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1340
1341         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.

1344
1345         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call

1349         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1350         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1351         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1352         element list when adding "." to it.

1359         cleanup; nfc.
1360         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1361         now accepts arg; update callers.
1362         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1363         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1364
1365         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1366         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1367         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1368         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using

1370         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1371         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

1382

1393
1394 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1397
1398         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1399         the module obarray.
1400         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1401
1402         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1403         the magical undefined value.
1404         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1405         the default default for bindings.
1406
1407         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1408         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1409         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1410         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1411         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

1416         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1417         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1418         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1419         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1420         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1421         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1422         `set-current-module' call.
1423         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1424         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

1456         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
1457         or a interface spec.
1458         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1459         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1460         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1461         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1462         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1463         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1464         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1465         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.

1766         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1767         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1768
1769         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1770         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1771
1772         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1773         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1774
1775 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1776
1777         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1778         in C for now.
1779         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1780         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1781
1782 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1783
1784         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1785         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1786         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1787         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1789         for now.

1792
1793 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1794
1795         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1796         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1797         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1798         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1799         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1800         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1801         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1802

1807
1808 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1809
1810         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1811         any more.
1812
1813 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1814
1815         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1816         the-root-module.
1817

1825         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1826         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm

1834         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1835         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1836         make-shared-substring.
1837
1838 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1839
1840         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1841         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1842         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1843         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1844         scm-style-repl.
1845

1849         and open-output-pipe.
1850
1851 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1852
1853         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1854         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1855         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1856         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1857         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1858         Pirotte for the bug report).
1859         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1860         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1875         patch.

1883
1884         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1885         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1886         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1887
1888         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1889         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1890         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1891         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1892         actual documentation entries themselves.

1894 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1895
1896         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1897
1898 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1899
1900         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1901
1902 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1903
1904         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1905         Convert first argument to a string.
1906
1907         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1908         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1909         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1910         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1911
1912         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1913
1914         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1915
1916 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1917
1918         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1919
1920 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1921
1922         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1923         `symbol-append'.
1924         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1925         args.
1926         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1927         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1928         even worked...  /mdj.
1929         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1930         `symbol->string'.
1931         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1932         semantics.
1933
1934 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1935
1936         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1937         form set!.
1938
1939 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1940
1941         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1942         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1943

1945
1946         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1951
1952 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1953
1954         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to

1956
1957 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1958
1959         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1960         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1961         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1962         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1963         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1964
1965         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1966
1967 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1968
1969         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1970         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1971
1972         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1973         syntactic bindings.
1974
1975         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1976         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1977         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1978         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1979
1980         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1981
1982         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1983         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1984
1985         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1986
1987         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1988         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1989
1990 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1993         definition of module-type.
1994
1995         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1996
1997         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1998
1999         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
2000         lines.
2001         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
2002         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
2003
2004 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2005
2006         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
2007
2008 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
2011         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
2012         Mikael for the suggestion.
2013
2014 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
2017         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2018
2019 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2020
2021         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2022         for export args.
2023
2024 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2025
2026         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
2027
2028 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2029
2030         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
2031         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
2032         for the hint.
2033
2034         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
2035         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
2036         tail recursive yet.
2037
2038 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2039
2040         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2041         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2044         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2045         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2046         See NEWS.
2047         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
2048
2049         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
2050
2051 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2052
2053         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
2054         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
2055
2056 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2057
2058         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2059         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2060
2061 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2062
2063         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
2064         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2065
2066 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2067
2068         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2069
2070         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2071
2072         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2073
2074 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2075
2076         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2077         '() instead of #f.
2078         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2079         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2080         `the-root-module'.
2081         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2082
2083         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2084         documentation.scm.
2085
2086         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
2087         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2088         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2089         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2090         (help): Rewritten.
2091
2092         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2093
2094         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2095
2096 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2097
2098         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2099         (write-all): Removed.
2100         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
2101         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
2102
2103 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2104
2105         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2106         `proc-documentation'
2107
2108         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2109         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2110         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2111         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2112         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2113         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2114         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2115         getter...)
2116
2117 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
2120
2121 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2122
2123         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2124         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2125         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2126         closure.
2127
2128 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2131         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2132         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2133         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2134         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2135         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2136         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2137
2138 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2139
2140         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2141         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2142
2143 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2144
2145         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2146         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2147
2148 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2149
2150         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2151         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2152         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2153         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2154         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2155         delete-if! when iterating.
2156
2157 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2158
2159         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2160
2161 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2162
2163         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2164
2165 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2166
2167         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2168         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2169         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2170         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2171
2172 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2173
2174         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2175         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2176
2177 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2178
2179         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2180         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2181         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2182         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2183
2184 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2185
2186         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2187         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2188
2189 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2190
2191         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2192         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2193
2194 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2195
2196         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2197         Dirk Hermann!
2198
2199 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2200
2201         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2202         source of the numerous very short changes.
2203
2204 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2205
2206         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2207         public.
2208
2209         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2210         info pages.
2211
2212 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2213
2214         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2215         from slib docs.
2216
2217 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2218
2219         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2220         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2221
2222 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2223
2224         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2225         to string-append.
2226
2227 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2228
2229         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2230         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2231         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2232
2233 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2234
2235         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2236         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2237         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2238         Narazaki for this change.
2239
2240 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2241
2242         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2243         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2244         %S.
2245
2246         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2247         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.

2250
2251         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2252         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.

2261
2262         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2263         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2264         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

2299
2300         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2301         available before using getpw and getuid.
2302         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2303         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2304         check for stat.
2305         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2306         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2307         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2308         available.

2311         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2312
2313         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

2324         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2325

2346
2347         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2348         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2349
2350 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2351
2352         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

2367
2368         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

2372
2373 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2374
2375         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2376         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2377         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since

2381         argument.
2382

2384         both forward and backward views of the stack
2385         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2386         Use selector `frame-number';

2393
2394         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2395         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2396         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2397
2398         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2399         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2400         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2401
2402 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2403
2404         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2407
2408         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2409

2411
2412 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2413
2414         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2415         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2416         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2417         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2418         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2419         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2420         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2421         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2422         libguile-config-stamp.
2423         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2424         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2425         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2426         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2427         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2428
2429 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2430
2431         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2432         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2433         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2436         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2437         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2438         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2439         readline.
2440
2441         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2442
2443 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2444
2445         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.

2447 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2448
2449         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2450         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2451
2452 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2453
2454         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2455         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2456         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2457         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2458         objects starting with '#/'.
2459
2460 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2461
2462         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2463         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2464         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2465         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2466         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2467         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2468         `observer-id'.
2469         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2470         module-modified): New procedures.
2471         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2472         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2473
2474 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2475
2476         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2477         defines.
2478
2479 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2480
2481         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2482         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2483         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2486         position.
2487
2488 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2489
2490         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2491         at multiple calls to read.
2492         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2493         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2494         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2495         continued-lines prompt.
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2498         reading expressions.
2499
2500 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2501
2502         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2503         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2504
2505 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2506
2507         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2508         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2509         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2510
2511         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2512
2513         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2514         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2515
2516         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2517         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2518         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2519         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2520         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2521         instead of a port.
2522
2523 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2524
2525         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2526         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2527
2528         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2529
2530         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2531         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2532         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2533         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2534
2535         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2536
2537         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2538
2539         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2540         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2541         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2542         an alist.
2543
2544         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2545
2546         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2547         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2548         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2549         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2550         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2551         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2552         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2553         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2554         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2555         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2556         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2557
2558         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2559
2560         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2561         peeked from the stream.
2562         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2563         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2564         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2565
2566         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2567
2568         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2569         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2570
2571         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2572
2573         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2574         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2575         exiting repl with single control-D.
2576
2577         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2578
2579         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2580         error catching loop after quit received.
2581         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2582
2583         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2584         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2585         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2586
2587         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2588         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2589         boot-9.scm.
2590         * popen.scm: new file.
2591
2592 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2593
2594        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2595        (reverse-iota):  removed.

2597 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2598
2599         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->

2602 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2603
2604         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2605         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2606         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2607         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2608         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2609
2610 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2611
2612         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2613
2614         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2615         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2616
2617         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2618         Guile's module system.
2619
2620         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2621         changes:
2622         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2623         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2624         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2625         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2626         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2627         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2628         modern CL behavior.
2629         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2630         '() when the condition is false.
2631
2632 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2633
2634         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2635
2636 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2637
2638         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2639
2640 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2641
2642         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2643         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2644         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2645
2646 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2647
2648         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2649         argument order for hash-fold.
2650
2651 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2652
2653         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2654         resolve-module.
2655         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2656         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2657
2658         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2659         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2660         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2661         has been added to the load path).
2662
2663         Use try-load-module.
2664
2665 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2666
2667         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2668         module between system and user state.
2669
2670 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2671
2672         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2673
2674         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2675         definition.
2676
2677 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2678
2679         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2680         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2681         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2682
2683 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2684
2685         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2686         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2687         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2688         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2689         stack frame encountered.
2690
2691         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2692         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2693         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2694         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2695         list).]
2696
2697         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2698         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2699         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2700         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2701         please tell me!]
2702
2703         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2704         define-module switches:
2705
2706         (define-module (foo)
2707           :no-backtrace)
2708
2709         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2710         modules.
2711
2712         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2713         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2714         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2715         module it is a system frame.
2716
2717         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2718         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2719         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2720         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2721         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2722
2723         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2724         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2725         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2726         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2727         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2728         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2729
2730         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2731         status of a module.;
2732         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2733         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2734
2735         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2736         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2737         closure to the module.
2738
2739         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2740
2741 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2742
2743         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2744
2745 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2746
2747         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2748
2749 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2750
2751         Fix from Russ McManus:
2752         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2753         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2754         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2755         either an optional or required value.
2756
2757 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2758
2759         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2760
2761         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2762         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2763
2764         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2765         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2766         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2767         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2768
2769 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2770
2771         * optargs.scm: New file.
2772         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2773         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2774
2775 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2776
2777         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2778         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2779         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2780
2781 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2782
2783         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2784         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2785         for isn't loaded.
2786
2787 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2788
2789         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2790
2791 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2792
2793         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2794         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2795         applied to the module itself.
2796
2797 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2798
2799         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2800
2801         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2802         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2803
2804 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2805
2806         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2811
2812 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2813
2814         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2815         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2816
2817 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2818
2819         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2820         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2821         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2822         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2823         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2824         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2825         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2826
2827 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2828
2829         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2830         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2831
2832 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2833
2834         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2835         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2836         static libraries.
2837
2838 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2839
2840         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2841
2842 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2843
2844         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2845
2846 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2847
2848         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2849         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2850         adapt to the new hooks.
2851
2852 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2853
2854         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2855         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2856         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2857         code.
2858         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2859         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2860
2861         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2862         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2863         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2864         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2865         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2866         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2867         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2868         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2869         first to register linked modules.
2870
2871         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2872         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2873         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2874
2875         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2876         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2877         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2878         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2879
2880         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2881         to use from C:
2882         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2883         libguile/feature.c.
2884
2885         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2886         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2887         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2888
2889 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2890
2891         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2892         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2893         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2894
2895 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2896
2897         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2898         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2899         result of the last form.
2900
2901 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2902
2903         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2904         syncase.scm.
2905
2906         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2907
2908         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2909         readline-set!: New options interface.
2910
2911         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2912
2913 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2914
2915         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2916         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2917
2918 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2919
2920         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2921         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2922
2923 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2924
2925         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2926         interactive session.
2927         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2928
2929         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2930         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2931
2932 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2933
2934         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2935
2936 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2937
2938         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2939         read line was empty.
2940
2941 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2942
2943         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2944         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2945
2946         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2947
2948         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2949         problem.  Duh.
2950         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2951         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2952         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2953
2954         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2955         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2956         into...
2957         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2958         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2959         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2960
2961         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2962         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2963         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2964         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2965         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2966         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2967         psyntax.ss.
2968         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2969
2970         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2971         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2972
2973 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2974
2975         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2976         and short vectors #h(...).
2977
2978 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2979
2980         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2981         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2982         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2983
2984 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2985
2986         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2987         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2988         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2989
2990 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2991
2992         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2993         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2994
2995         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2996         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2997         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2998         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2999
3000 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3001
3002         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
3003         trace flag.
3004
3005         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
3006         order to allow the empty list as arg.
3007         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
3008         context with traps enabled.
3009
3010 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3011
3012         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
3013         module.
3014         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
3015
3016 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3017
3018         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3019         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3020         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
3021         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3022         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3023
3024 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3025
3026         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3027         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3028
3029 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3030
3031         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3032
3033 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3034
3035         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3036
3037 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3038
3039         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3040
3041 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3042
3043         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3044         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3045
3046 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3047
3048         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3049         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3050         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3051         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3052         Archibald.)
3053
3054         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3055         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3056         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3057
3058 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3059
3060         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3061         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3062         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3063         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3064         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3065         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3066         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3067
3068 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3069
3070         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3071
3072 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3073
3074         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3075         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3076         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3077         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3078         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3079         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3080
3081 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3082
3083         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3084         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3085         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3086         Steven G. Johnson.)
3087
3088 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3089
3090         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3091
3092 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3093
3094         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3095
3096 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3097
3098         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3099         be completed.
3100
3101 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3102
3103         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3104
3105 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3106
3107         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3108         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3109
3110 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3111
3112         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3113         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3114         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3115         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3116         transformer.
3117         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3118         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3119
3120 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3121
3122         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3123
3124 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3125
3126         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3127         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3128         completion.
3129
3130         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3131         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3132
3133         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3134         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3135         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3136
3137         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3138
3139 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3140
3141         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3142
3143         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3144         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3145
3146 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3147
3148         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3149
3150 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3151
3152         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3153         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3154
3155         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3156
3157         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3158         obsolete.
3159
3160 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3161
3162         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3163         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3164
3165 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3166
3167         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3168
3169 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3170
3171         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3172         Stachowiak.)
3173
3174 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3175
3176         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3177         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3178         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3179         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3180         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3181         threads.
3182
3183 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3184
3185         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3186         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3187         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3188
3189 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3190
3191         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3192
3193         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3194         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3195
3196 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3197
3198         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3199         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3200         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3201         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3202         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3203         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3204         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3205         to go here.
3206
3207 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3208
3209         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3210         is now a fluid.
3211
3212 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3213
3214         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3215         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3216         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3217         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3218         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3219         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3220
3221 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3222
3223         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3224         usefully so they will work from a script.
3225
3226 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3227
3228         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3229         neighborhood of the record code.
3230
3231 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3232
3233         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3234         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3235         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3236         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3237
3238 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3239
3240         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3241         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3242         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3243
3244 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3245
3246         Add support for readline function.
3247         * readline.scm: New module.
3248         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3249         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3250         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3251         anything.
3252         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3253         repl-reader to use them.
3254         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3255
3256         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3257
3258 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3259
3260         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3261         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3262
3263 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3264
3265         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3266         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3267         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3268
3269 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3270
3271         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3272         #f, abort terminates the process.
3273         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3274         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3275
3276 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3277
3278         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3279         print-state, throw it away.
3280
3281 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3282
3283         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3284         `0'.
3285
3286 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3287
3288         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3289         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3290         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3291         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3292         user field).
3293         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3294         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3295
3296 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3297
3298         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3299
3300 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3301
3302         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3303         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3304         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3305         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3306         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in

3317
3318         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3319         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3320         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3321
3322         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3323         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global

3336         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3337         field a separate argument.
3338
3339         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.

3355         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3356         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3357         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3358         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3359         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3360         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3361         registered.
3362         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3363         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3364         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3365         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3366         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

3379
3380         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3381
3382         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3383         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3384         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3385         expansion inside the slib module.
3386
3387         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

3396
3397         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3398         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3399         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3400         source.
3401         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3402         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3403         been loaded.
3404
3405 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3419         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3420         module.
3421         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3422
3423 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3424
3425         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3426
3427         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3428         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3429         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3430         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3431         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

3433         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3434         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

3436         syncase macros.

3438         the syncase interface.

3441
3442         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3443         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3444         workings of the current module system).
3445
3446 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3447
3448         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

3459
3460         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3461         according to the following priorities:
3462         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3463         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3464         3. tcl bindings
3465         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3466         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3467         (new-interpreter): New function.
3468
3469         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3470         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3471         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3488
3489         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3490         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3491         source!
3492
3493 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3501         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3502         in stack-ref).
3503
3504         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3505         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3506         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3507         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3508         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3509         result protocol;

3524
3525         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3526         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3527         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3528
3529         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

3546
3547         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3548         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3549         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3550
3551         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3552         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at

3574
3575         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3576         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3577         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

3613         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3614         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3615         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3616         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3617
3618         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3619         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument

3621         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

3624
3625         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3626         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3627         sending in bug reports.
3628         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3629         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3630         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3631         display a warning if the two are different.

3646         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3647         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3648         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3649         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3650         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3651         that's okay.
3652
3653         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3654         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3655         regexp interface.
3656
3657         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3658         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3659
3660         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3661         function names.
3662
3663         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3664         fixes.

3667
3668         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3669         ../configure.in.
3670
3671 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3672
3673         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3674         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3675
3676 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3677
3678         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3679         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3680         to support printing of structures.
3681         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3682         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3683         commented out printing code.
3684         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3685         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3686
3687 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3688
3689         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3690
3691 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3692
3693         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3694         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3695         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3696         during call to scm-style-repl.
3697
3698 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3699
3700         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3701         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3702         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3703         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3704         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3705
3706 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3707
3708         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3709         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3710         (ice-9 regex).
3711
3712 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3713
3714         * regex.scm: New file.
3715         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3716         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3717
3718 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3719
3720         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3721         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3722         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3723         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

3725 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3726
3727         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3728         in 1997.
3729
3730 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3731
3732         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3733         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3734         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3735
3736 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3737
3738         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3739         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3740         here.
3741
3742 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3743
3744         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3745
3746 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3747
3748         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3749
3750 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3751
3752         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3753         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3754         fixes this too.
3755
3756 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3757
3758         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3759         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3760         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3761
3762 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3763
3764         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3765         the Scheme code like code yet.
3766         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3767
3768 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3769
3770         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3771         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3772         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3773
3774 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3775
3776         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3777         use-modules macro
3778         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3779         can't be found.
3780
3781 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3782
3783         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3784
3785 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3786
3787         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3788
3789         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3790         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3791         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3792
3793 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3794
3795         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3796         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3797         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3798
3799         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3800         no plugins.
3801         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3802         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3803
3804 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3805
3806         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3807         functions.
3808
3809 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3810
3811         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3812
3813 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3814
3815         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3816         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3817
3818 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3819
3820         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3821         instead of in libguile.
3822         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3823         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3824
3825 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3826
3827         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3828         procedures.
3829         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3830         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3831
3832 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3833
3834         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3835         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3836
3837 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3838
3839         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3840         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3841         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3842         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3843
3844 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3845
3846         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3847         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3848
3849 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3850
3851         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3852
3853 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3854
3855         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3856         keywords and symbols.
3857
3858 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3859
3860         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3861
3862         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3863         Don't define read-sharp.
3864
3865         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3866         (read-sharp): removed.
3867         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3868         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3869
3870 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3871
3872         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3873
3874         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3875         primitive procedure.)
3876
3877         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3878         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3879
3880 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3881
3882         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3883
3884 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3885
3886         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3887
3888 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3889
3890         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3891         read gets EOF.
3892         * (exit): alias for quit.
3893
3894 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3895
3896         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3897         return the quit args.
3898         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3899         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3900         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3901
3902         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3903
3904 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3905
3906         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3907
3908         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3909         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3910
3911         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3912         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3913
3914         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3915         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3916         of handlers.
3917
3918 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3919
3920         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3921
3922         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3923         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3924         Change hooks to use these functions.
3925
3926         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3927         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3928         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3929         the source! :-)
3930         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3931         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3932         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3933         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3934         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3935         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3936         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3937         traced.
3938
3939         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3940         and exit-frame exceptions.
3941
3942         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3943         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3944         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3945         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3946         result; otherwise display "> ".
3947         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3948
3949         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3950         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3951         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3952         repository version runnable.
3953
3954 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3955
3956         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3957         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3958         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3959         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3960         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3961         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3962
3963 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3964
3965         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3966         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3967         and eval.
3968         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3969         "defined?".
3970         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3971         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3972
3973 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3974
3975         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3976
3977 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3978
3979         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3980         %read-sharp layer.
3981
3982 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3983
3984         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3985         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3986
3987 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3988
3989         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3990         backtrace.c.)
3991
3992 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3994         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3995         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3996
3997 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3998
3999         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
4000
4001         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
4002         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
4003         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
4004         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
4005         dynamic linking of modules.
4006         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
4007         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
4008
4009 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4010
4011         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
4012
4013 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4014
4015         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4016         that's what it is.
4017
4018         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4019         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
4020         was false.
4021
4022 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4023
4024         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4025         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4026         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4027
4028 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4029
4030         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4031         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4032         yet.
4033
4034 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4035
4036         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4037         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4038         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4039
4040 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4041
4042         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4043         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4044         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4045         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4046
4047         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4048         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4049         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4050         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4051         (such as the-scm-module).
4052
4053 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4054
4055         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4056         %search-load-path.
4057
4058 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4059
4060         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4061         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4062         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4063
4064 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4065
4066         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4067         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4068         function, use it accordingly.
4069
4070 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4071
4072         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4073         function of no arguments.
4074         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4075         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4076         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4077         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4078         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4079         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4080         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4081         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4082
4083 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4084
4085         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4086         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4087
4088 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4089
4090         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4091         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4092         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4093         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4094         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4095
4096         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4097         `*features*'.
4098
4099         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4100         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4101         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4102         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4103
4104         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4105
4106         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4107
4108         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4109         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4110         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4111
4112         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4113         error.
4114
4115         Added `before-read-hook'.
4116
4117         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4118
4119         (provide): New function.
4120
4121         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4122         in backtraces.
4123
4124         (backtrace): New function.
4125
4126         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4127         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4128         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4129         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4130         is found in operator position in a frame.
4131
4132         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4133         by default.
4134
4135         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4136         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4137         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4138
4139         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4140
4141         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4142
4143         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4144
4145         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4146
4147 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4148
4149         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4150
4151         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4152         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4153
4154         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4155         so they'll get distributed.
4156
4157         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4158         should see as little clutter as possible.
4159         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4160         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4161         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4162
4163         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4164         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4165         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4166         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4167         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4168         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4169         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4170         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4171         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4172         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4173         that are not.
4174         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4175         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4176
4177         * test.scm: New file.
4178
4179         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4180         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4181         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4182
4183         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4184         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4185
4186         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4187         work now.
4188         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4189         call %load-announce.
4190
4191 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4192
4193         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4194         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4195         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4196         components.
4197         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4198
4199 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4200
4201         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4202         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4203         SCSH (which this isn't).
4204
4205 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4206
4207         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4208
4209 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4210
4211         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4212         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4213         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4214         these.
4215         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4216         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4217         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4218         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4219         save-stack.
4220
4221 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4222
4223         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4224
4225         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4226
4227         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4228         error-catching-loop.
4229         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4230         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4231         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4232
4233         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4234         error-catching-loop.
4235
4236 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4237
4238         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4239         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4240         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4241         should be '(), not #f.
4242
4243         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4244         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4245
4246 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4247
4248         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4249         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4250         error-signal.
4251
4252 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4253
4254         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4255         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4256         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4257         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4258
4259 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4260
4261         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4262
4263 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4264
4265         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4266
4267         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4268         throw-handler-default.
4269         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4270         reported.
4271         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4272         acro.
4273         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4274         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4275
4276 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4277
4278         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4279         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4280         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4281         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4282
4283 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4284
4285         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4286         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4287         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4288         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4289         ...))
4290         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4291         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4292         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4293         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4294         file-is-directory?
4295
4296 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4297
4298         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4299
4300         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4301         distribution.
4302
4303         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4304         `switch-repl'.
4305
4306         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4307
4308 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4309
4310         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4311         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4312
4313 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4314
4315         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4316
4317         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4318
4319 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4320
4321         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4322         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4323         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4324         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4325         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4326
4327         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4328         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4329         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4330         they seem redundant.
4331         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4332         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4333         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4334         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4335         directly files starting with "/").
4336         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4337         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4338
4339         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

4342
4343         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4344         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4345         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4346         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4347         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4348         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4349         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4350         robust to just do it in the C code.

4356         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4357         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4358         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

4380         of args are supplied.
4381         (%%system-errors): removed.
4382         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4383         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4384         %%handle-system-error.
4385         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4386         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4387         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4388         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4389
4390 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

4393         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4394         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and

4404
4405         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.

4411         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4412         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

4415
4416         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4417         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4418         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4419         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4420         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

4433         initialize %load-path.
4434
4435         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4436         "/", use one to separate it from the file.

4452
4453         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

4455         in the Makefile directly.
4456         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4457         for these.
