ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
   2
   3         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
   4         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
   5         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
   6         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
   7
   8 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   9
  10         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
  11         trace flag.
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
  14         order to allow the empty list as arg.
  15         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
  16         context with traps enabled.
  17
  18 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  19
  20         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
  21         module.
  22         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
  23
  24 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  25
  26         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
  27         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
  28         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
  29         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
  30         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
  31
  32 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  33
  34         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
  35         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
  36
  37 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  38
  39         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
  40
  41 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  42
  43         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
  44
  45 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  46
  47         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
  48
  49 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  50
  51         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
  52         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
  53
  54 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  55
  56         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
  57         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
  58         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
  59         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
  60         Archibald.)
  61
  62         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
  63         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
  64         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
  65
  66 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
  69         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
  70         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
  71         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
  72         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
  73         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
  74         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  75
  76 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
  79
  80 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  81
  82         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
  83         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
  84         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
  85         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
  86         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
  87         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
  88
  89 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  90
  91         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
  92         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
  93         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
  94         Steven G. Johnson.)
  95
  96 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  97
  98         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
  99
 100 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 101
 102         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 103
 104 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 105
 106         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 107         be completed.
 108
 109 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 110
 111         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 112
 113 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 114
 115         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 116         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 117
 118 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 119
 120         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 121         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 122         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 123         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 124         transformer.
 125         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 126         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 127
 128 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 129
 130         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 131
 132 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 133
 134         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 135         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 136         completion.
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 139         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 142         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 143         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 146
 147 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 150
 151         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 152         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 153
 154 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 155
 156         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 157
 158 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 159
 160         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 161         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 162
 163         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 164
 165         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 166         obsolete.
 167
 168 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 169
 170         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 171         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 172
 173 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 174
 175         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 176
 177 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 180         Stachowiak.)
 181
 182 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 183
 184         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 185         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 186         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 187         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 188         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 189         threads.
 190
 191 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 192
 193         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 194         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 195         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 196
 197 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 198
 199         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 200
 201         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 202         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 203
 204 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 205
 206 *       * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 207         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 208         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 209         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 210         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 211         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 212         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 213         to go here.
 214
 215 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 218         is now a fluid.
 219
 220 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 221
 222         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 223         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 224         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 225         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 226         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 227         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 228
 229 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 230
 231         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 232         usefully so they will work from a script.
 233
 234 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 235
 236         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 237         neighborhood of the record code.
 238
 239 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 240
 241         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 242         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 243         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 244         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 245
 246 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 247
 248         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 249         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 250         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 251
 252 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 253
 254         Add support for readline function.
 255         * readline.scm: New module.
 256         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 257         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 258         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 259         anything.
 260         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 261         repl-reader to use them.
 262         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 263
 264         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 265
 266 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 267
 268         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 269         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 270
 271 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 272
 273         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 274         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 275         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 276
 277 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 278
 279         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 280         #f, abort terminates the process.
 281         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 282         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 283
 284 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 285
 286         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 287         print-state, throw it away.
 288
 289 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 290
 291         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 292         `0'.
 293
 294 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 297         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 298         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 299         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 300         user field).
 301         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 302         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 303
 304 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 305
 306         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 307
 308 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 309
 310         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 311         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 312         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 313         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 314         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 315         boot-9.scm.
 316         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 317         distribution and installation.
 318         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 319
 320 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 321
 322         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 323
 324 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 325
 326         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 327         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 328         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 331         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 332         symbol.
 333
 334 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 335
 336         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 337
 338         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 339
 340 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 341
 342         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 343         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 344         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 345         field a separate argument.
 346
 347         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 348
 349 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 350
 351         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 354         vicinity;
 355         Provide defmacro.
 356
 357 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 358
 359         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 360
 361 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 362
 363         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 364         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 365         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 366         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 367         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 368         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 369         registered.
 370         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 371         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 372         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 373         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 374         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 375         link a .so-file.

 377 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 380
 381 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 382
 383         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 384         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 385
 386 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 387
 388 *       * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 389
 390         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 391         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 392         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 393         expansion inside the slib module.
 394
 395         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 396         constructors.
 397         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 398         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 399         (let): New core form.
 400         (if): Removed from core language.
 401         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 402         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 403         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 404
 405         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 406         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 407         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 408         source.
 409         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 410         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 411         been loaded.
 412
 413 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 414
 415         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 416         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 417         `use-syntax'.
 418         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 419
 420         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 421         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 422         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 423         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 424         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 425         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 426         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 427 *       (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 428         module.
 429         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 430
 431 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 432
 433         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 434
 435         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 436         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 437         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 438         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 439         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 440
 441         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 442         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 443         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 444         syncase macros.
 445         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 446         the syncase interface.
 447
 448 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 449
 450         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 451         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 452         workings of the current module system).
 453
 454 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 455
 456         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 457         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 458         off!
 459
 460 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 461
 462         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 463         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 464         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 465
 466 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 467
 468         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 469         according to the following priorities:
 470         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 471         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 472         3. tcl bindings
 473         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 474         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 475         (new-interpreter): New function.
 476
 477         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 478         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 479         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

 481 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 482

 485 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 486
 487         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
 488
 489 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 490
 491         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 492         procedures.
 493         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 494
 495 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 498         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 499         source!
 500
 501 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 502
 503         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
 504         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

 506         symbols matching regexp.
 507
 508         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 509         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 510         in stack-ref).
 511
 512         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 513         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 514         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 515         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 516         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 517         result protocol;
 518         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 519         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
 520
 521 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 522
 523         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
 524         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 525
 526         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 527         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 528
 529         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 530
 531 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 532
 533         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 534         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 535         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 536
 537         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 538
 539 *       * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 540         psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
 541         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
 542
 543 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 544
 545 *       * session.scm: New file: Session support.
 546         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

 549
 550         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
 551         cstime.
 552
 553 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 554
 555         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 556         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 557         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 558
 559         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 560         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 561         the top.
 562
 563         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 564         order to narrow it correctly.
 565         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
 566
 567 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 568
 569         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
 570         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
 571
 572 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 575
 576 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 577
 578         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 579         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 580
 581 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 582
 583         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 584         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 585         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 586
 587 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 588
 589         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 590         automatically.
 591
 592 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 593
 594         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 595         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 596         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 597         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 598         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 599
 600 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 601
 602         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 603         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 604         a default of /.
 605
 606         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 607
 608 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 609
 610         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 611         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 612         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 613
 614         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 615         make-regexp.
 616
 617 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 618
 619         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 620         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 621         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 622         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 623         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 624         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 627         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 628         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 629         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 630
 631 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 632
 633         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 634         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 635         sending in bug reports.
 636         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 637         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 638         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 639         display a warning if the two are different.
 640         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 641         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 642         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 643
 644 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 645
 646         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 647
 648 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 649
 650         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 651         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 652
 653         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 654         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 655         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 656         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 657         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 658         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 659         that's okay.
 660
 661         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 662         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 663         regexp interface.
 664
 665         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 666         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 667
 668         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 669         function names.
 670
 671         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 672         fixes.
 673
 674 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 675
 676         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 677         ../configure.in.
 678
 679 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 680
 681         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 682         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 683
 684 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 685
 686         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 687         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 688         to support printing of structures.
 689         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 690         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 691         commented out printing code.
 692         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 693         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 694
 695 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 696
 697         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 698
 699 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 700
 701         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 702         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 703         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 704         during call to scm-style-repl.
 705
 706 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 707
 708         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 709         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 710         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 711         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 712         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 713
 714 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 715
 716         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 717         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 718         (ice-9 regex).
 719
 720 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 721
 722         * regex.scm: New file.
 723         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 724         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 725
 726 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 727
 728         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 729         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 730         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 731         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 733 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 734
 735         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 736         in 1997.
 737
 738 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 739
 740         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 741         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 742         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 743
 744 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 745
 746         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 747         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 748         here.
 749
 750 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 751
 752         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 753
 754 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 755
 756         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 757
 758 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 759
 760         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 761         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 762         fixes this too.
 763
 764 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 765
 766         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 767         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 768         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 769
 770 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 771
 772         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 773         the Scheme code like code yet.
 774         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 775
 776 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 777
 778         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 779         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 780         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 781
 782 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 783
 784         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 785         use-modules macro
 786         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 787         can't be found.
 788
 789 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 790
 791         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 792
 793 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 794
 795         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 796
 797         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 798         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 799         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 800
 801 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 802
 803         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 804         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 805         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 806
 807         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 808         no plugins.
 809         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 810         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 811
 812 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 813
 814         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 815         functions.
 816
 817 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 818
 819         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 820
 821 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 822
 823         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 824         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 825
 826 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 829         instead of in libguile.
 830         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 831         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 832
 833 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 834
 835         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 836         procedures.
 837         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 838         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 839
 840 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 841
 842         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 843         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 844
 845 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 846
 847         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 848         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 849         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 850         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 851
 852 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 853
 854         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 855         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 856
 857 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 858
 859         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 860
 861 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 862
 863         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 864         keywords and symbols.
 865
 866 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 867
 868         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 869
 870         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 871         Don't define read-sharp.
 872
 873         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 874         (read-sharp): removed.
 875         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 876         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 877
 878 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 879
 880         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 881
 882         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 883         primitive procedure.)
 884
 885         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 886         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
 887
 888 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 889
 890         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 891
 892 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 893
 894         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 895
 896 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 897
 898         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 899         read gets EOF.
 900         * (exit): alias for quit.
 901
 902 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 903
 904         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 905         return the quit args.
 906         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 907         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 908         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 909
 910         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 911
 912 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 913
 914         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 915
 916         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 917         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 918
 919         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 920         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 921
 922         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 923         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 924         of handlers.
 925
 926 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 927
 928         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 929
 930         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 931         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 932         Change hooks to use these functions.
 933
 934         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 935         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 936         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 937         the source! :-)
 938         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 939         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 940         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 941         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 942         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 943         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 944         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 945         traced.
 946
 947         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 948         and exit-frame exceptions.
 949
 950         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 951         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 952         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 953         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 954         result; otherwise display "> ".
 955         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 956
 957         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 958         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 959         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 960         repository version runnable.
 961
 962 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 963
 964         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 965         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 966         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 967         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 968         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 969         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 970
 971 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 974         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 975         and eval.
 976         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 977         "defined?".
 978         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 979         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 980
 981 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 982
 983         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 984
 985 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 986
 987         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 988         %read-sharp layer.
 989
 990 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 991
 992         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 993         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 994
 995 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 996
 997         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 998         backtrace.c.)
 999
1000 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1001
1002         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1003         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1004
1005 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1006
1007         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1008
1009         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1010         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1011         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1012         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1013         dynamic linking of modules.
1014         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1015         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1016
1017 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1018
1019         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1020
1021 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1022
1023         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1024         that's what it is.
1025
1026         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1027         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1028         was false.
1029
1030 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1031
1032         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1033         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1034         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1035
1036 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1037
1038         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1039         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1040         yet.
1041
1042 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1045         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1046         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1047
1048 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1049
1050         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1051         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1052         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1053         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1054
1055         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1056         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1057         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1058         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1059         (such as the-scm-module).
1060
1061 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1062
1063         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1064         %search-load-path.
1065
1066 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1067
1068         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1069         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1070         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1071
1072 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1075         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1076         function, use it accordingly.
1077
1078 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1079
1080         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1081         function of no arguments.
1082         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1083         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1084         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1085         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1086         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1087         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1088         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1089         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1090
1091 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1092
1093         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1094         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1095
1096 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1097
1098         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1099         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1100         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1101         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1102         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1103
1104         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1105         `*features*'.
1106
1107         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1108         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1109         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1110         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1111
1112         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1113
1114         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1115
1116         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1117         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1118         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1119
1120         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1121         error.
1122
1123         Added `before-read-hook'.
1124
1125         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1126
1127         (provide): New function.
1128
1129         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1130         in backtraces.
1131
1132         (backtrace): New function.
1133
1134         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1135         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1136         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1137         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1138         is found in operator position in a frame.
1139
1140         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1141         by default.
1142
1143         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1144         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1145         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1146
1147         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1148
1149         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1150
1151         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1152
1153         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1154
1155 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1156
1157         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1158
1159         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1160         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1161
1162         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1163         so they'll get distributed.
1164
1165         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1166         should see as little clutter as possible.
1167         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1168         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1169         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1170
1171         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1172         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1173         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1174         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1175         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1176         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1177         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1178         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1179         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1180         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1181         that are not.
1182         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1183         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1184
1185         * test.scm: New file.
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1188         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1189         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1192         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1195         work now.
1196         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1197         call %load-announce.
1198
1199 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1200
1201         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1202         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1203         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1204         components.
1205         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1206
1207 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1208
1209         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1210         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1211         SCSH (which this isn't).
1212
1213 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1216
1217 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1220         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1221         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1222         these.
1223         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1224         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1225         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1226         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1227         save-stack.
1228
1229 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1230
1231         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1232
1233         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1234
1235         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1236         error-catching-loop.
1237         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1238         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1239         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1240
1241         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1242         error-catching-loop.
1243
1244 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1245
1246         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1247         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1248         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1249         should be '(), not #f.
1250
1251         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1252         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1253
1254 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1255
1256         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1257         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1258         error-signal.
1259
1260 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1261
1262         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1263         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1264         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1265         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1266
1267 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1268
1269         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1270
1271 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1272
1273         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1274
1275         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1276         throw-handler-default.
1277         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1278         reported.
1279         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1280         acro.
1281         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1282         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1283
1284 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1285
1286         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1287         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1288         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1289         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1290
1291 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1292
1293         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1294         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1295         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1296         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1297         ...))
1298         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1299         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1300         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1301         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1302         file-is-directory?
1303
1304 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1307
1308         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1309         distribution.
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1312         `switch-repl'.
1313
1314         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1315
1316 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1317
1318         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1319         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1320
1321 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1324
1325         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1326
1327 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1330         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1331         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1332         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1333         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1334
1335         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1336         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1337         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1338         they seem redundant.
1339         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1340         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1341         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1342         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1343         directly files starting with "/").
1344         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1345         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1346
1347         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1348
1349 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1350
1351         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1352         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1353         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1354         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1355         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1356         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1357         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1358         robust to just do it in the C code.
1359
1360 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1363         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1364         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1365         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1366         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1367
1368 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1369
1370         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1371         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1372         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1373
1374 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1375
1376         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1377         system-error, not every kind of error.
1378         (scm-error): new procedure.
1379
1380 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1383
1384 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1387         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1388         of args are supplied.
1389         (%%system-errors): removed.
1390         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1391         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1392         %%handle-system-error.
1393         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1394         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1395         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1396         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1397
1398 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1399
1400         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1401         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1402         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1403         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1404
1405 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1406
1407         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1408         the empty list if they are #f.
1409         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1410
1411 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1412
1413         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1416         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1417         aborting, just the key and subr.
1418         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1419         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.

1424         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1425         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1426         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1427         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1428         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

1460
1461         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1462         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all

1464         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1465         for these.
1466         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and

1498         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1499         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

1504         (manifest): Deleted.
1505         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
