3 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
4 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
7 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
8 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
10 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
12 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
13 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
15 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
17 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
18 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
19 use define-public to export from the module.
21 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
23 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
24 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
25 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
27 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
29 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
31 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
33 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
34 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
36 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
38 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
40 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
42 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
44 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
46 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
47 long_long uniform vectors.

51 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
52 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
54 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

57 script to create generated files like this one.
59 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
61 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
62 available before using getpw and getuid.
63 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
64 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
66 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
67 check for .guile, instead of stat.
68 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
70 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
71 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
72 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
74 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
75 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
77 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
79 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

92 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
93 ("position"): New command.
94 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
95 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
96 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
97 to return a valid state.)
98 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
100 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
102 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
103 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
106 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
108 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
109 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
111 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
113 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
115 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
117 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
118 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
120 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
121 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
122 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
124 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
127 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
129 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
130 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
132 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
134 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
136 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
137 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
138 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
139 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
141 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
144 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
145 both forward and backward views of the stack
146 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
147 Use selector `frame-number';
148 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
149 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
151 Use readline conditionally.
153 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
155 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
156 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
157 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
159 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
160 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
163 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
165 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
167 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
169 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
171 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
173 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
175 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
176 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
177 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
178 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
179 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
180 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
181 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
182 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
183 libguile-config-stamp.
184 * version.scm.in: Delete.
185 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
186 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
187 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
188 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
190 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
192 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
193 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
194 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
196 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
197 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
198 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
199 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
202 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
204 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
206 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
208 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
210 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
211 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
213 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
215 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
216 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
217 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
218 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
219 objects starting with '#/'.
221 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
223 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
224 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
225 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
226 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
227 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
228 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
230 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
231 module-modified): New procedures.
232 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
233 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
235 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
237 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
240 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
242 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
243 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
244 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
246 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
249 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
251 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
252 at multiple calls to read.
253 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
254 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
255 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
256 continued-lines prompt.
258 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
261 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
263 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
264 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
266 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
268 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
269 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
272 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
274 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
275 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
277 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
278 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
279 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
280 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
281 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
284 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
286 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
287 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
289 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
291 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
292 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
293 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
294 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
296 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
298 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
300 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
301 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
302 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
305 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
307 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
308 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
309 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
310 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
311 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
312 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
313 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
314 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
315 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
316 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
317 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
319 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
321 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
322 peeked from the stream.
323 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
324 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
325 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
327 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
329 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
330 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
332 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
334 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
335 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
336 exiting repl with single control-D.
338 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
340 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
341 error catching loop after quit received.
342 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
344 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
345 primitive exit if non-interactive.
346 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
348 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
349 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
351 * popen.scm: new file.
353 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
355 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
356 (reverse-iota): removed.
358 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
360 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
361 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
363 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
365 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
366 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
367 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
368 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
369 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
371 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
373 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
375 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
376 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
378 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
379 Guile's module system.
381 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
383 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
384 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
385 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
386 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
387 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
388 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
390 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
391 '() when the condition is false.
393 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
395 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
397 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
399 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
401 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
403 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
404 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
405 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
407 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
409 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
410 argument order for hash-fold.
412 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
414 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
416 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
417 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
419 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
420 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
421 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
422 has been added to the load path).
426 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
428 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
429 module between system and user state.
431 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
433 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
435 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
438 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
440 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
441 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
442 system can create a wrapper class for it.
444 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
446 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
447 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
448 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
449 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
450 stack frame encountered.
452 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
453 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
454 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
455 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
458 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
459 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
460 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
461 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
464 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
465 define-module switches:
470 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
473 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
474 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
475 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
476 module it is a system frame.
478 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
479 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
480 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
481 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
482 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
484 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
485 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
486 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
487 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
488 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
489 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
491 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
493 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
494 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
496 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
497 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
498 closure to the module.

506 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
508 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
510 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
512 Fix from Russ McManus:
513 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
514 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
515 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
516 either an optional or required value.
518 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
520 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
522 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
523 of the '() key, not `rest'.
525 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
526 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
527 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
528 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
530 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
532 * optargs.scm: New file.
533 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
534 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
536 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
538 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
539 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
540 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
542 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
544 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
545 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
548 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
550 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
552 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
554 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
555 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
556 applied to the module itself.
558 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
560 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
562 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
563 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
565 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
567 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
569 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

573 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
575 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
576 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
578 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
580 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
581 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
582 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
583 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
584 among BINDINGS is referenced.
585 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
586 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
588 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
590 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
591 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
593 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
595 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
596 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
599 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
601 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
603 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
605 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
607 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
609 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
610 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
611 adapt to the new hooks.
613 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
615 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
616 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
617 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
619 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
620 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
622 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
623 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
624 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
625 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
626 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
627 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
628 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
629 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
630 first to register linked modules.
632 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
633 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
634 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
636 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
637 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
638 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
639 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
641 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
643 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
646 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
647 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
648 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
650 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
652 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
653 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
654 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
656 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
658 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
659 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
660 result of the last form.
662 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
664 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
667 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
669 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
670 readline-set!: New options interface.
672 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
674 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
676 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
677 at the end of boot-9.scm.
679 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
681 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
682 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
684 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
686 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
688 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
690 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
691 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
693 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
695 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
697 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
699 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
702 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
704 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
705 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
707 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
709 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
711 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
712 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
713 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
715 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
716 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
718 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
719 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
720 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
722 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
723 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
724 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
725 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
726 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
727 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
729 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
731 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
732 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
734 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
736 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
737 and short vectors #h(...).
739 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
741 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
742 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
743 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
745 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
747 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
748 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
749 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
751 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
753 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
754 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
756 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
757 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
758 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
759 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
761 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
763 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
766 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
767 order to allow the empty list as arg.
768 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
769 context with traps enabled.
771 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
773 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
775 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
777 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
779 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
780 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
781 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
782 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
783 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
785 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
787 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
788 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
790 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
792 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
794 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
796 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
798 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
800 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
802 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
804 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
805 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
807 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
809 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
810 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
811 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
812 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
815 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
816 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
817 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
819 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
821 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
822 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
823 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
824 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
825 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
826 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
827 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
829 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
831 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
833 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
835 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
836 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
837 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
838 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
839 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
840 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
842 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
844 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
845 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
846 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
849 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
851 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
853 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
855 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
857 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
859 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
862 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
864 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
866 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
868 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
869 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
871 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
873 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
874 similar in use to `use-modules'.
875 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
876 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
878 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
879 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
881 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
883 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
885 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
887 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
888 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
891 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
892 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
894 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
895 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
896 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
898 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
900 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
902 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
904 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
905 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
907 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
909 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
911 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
913 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
914 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
916 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
918 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
921 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
923 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
924 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
926 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
928 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
930 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
932 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
935 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
937 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
938 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
939 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
940 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
941 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
944 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
946 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
947 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
948 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
950 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
952 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
954 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
955 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
957 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
959 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
960 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
961 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
962 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
963 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
964 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
965 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
968 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
970 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
973 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
975 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
976 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
977 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
978 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
979 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
980 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
982 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
984 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
985 usefully so they will work from a script.
987 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
989 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
990 neighborhood of the record code.
992 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
994 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
995 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
996 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
997 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
999 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1001 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1002 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1003 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1005 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1007 Add support for readline function.
1008 * readline.scm: New module.
1009 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1010 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1011 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1013 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1014 repl-reader to use them.
1015 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1017 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1019 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1021 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1022 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1024 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1026 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1027 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1028 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1030 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1032 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1033 #f, abort terminates the process.
1034 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1035 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1037 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1039 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1040 print-state, throw it away.
1042 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1044 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1047 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1049 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1050 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1051 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1052 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1054 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1055 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1057 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1059 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1061 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1063 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1064 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1065 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1066 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1067 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1069 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1070 distribution and installation.
1071 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1073 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1075 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1077 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1079 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1080 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1081 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1083 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1084 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1087 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1089 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1091 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1093 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1095 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1096 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1097 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1098 field a separate argument.
1100 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1102 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>

1117 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1118 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1119 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1120 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1121 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1123 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1124 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1125 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1126 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1127 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1130 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1141 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1143 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1144 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1145 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1146 expansion inside the slib module.
1148 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1150 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1156 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1158 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1159 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1160 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1162 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1163 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1166 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1168 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.

1186 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1188 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1189 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1190 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1191 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1192 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1194 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1195 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1196 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1198 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1199 the syncase interface.
1201 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1203 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1204 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1205 workings of the current module system).
1207 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1209 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1210 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1219 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1222 according to the following priorities:
1223 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1224 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1226 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1227 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1228 (new-interpreter): New function.
1230 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1231 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1232 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1234 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1236 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1262 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1265 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1272 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1274 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1276 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1277 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1279 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1280 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1282 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1284 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1286 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1287 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1288 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1292 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1306 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1308 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1309 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1310 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1312 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1313 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1316 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1317 order to narrow it correctly.
1318 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1331 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1332 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1334 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1336 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1337 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1338 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1340 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1345 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1347 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

1353 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1355 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

1372 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1373 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1374 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1375 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1376 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1377 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1379 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1380 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1381 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1382 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1384 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1386 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1387 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1388 sending in bug reports.
1389 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1390 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1391 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1392 display a warning if the two are different.
1393 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1394 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1395 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1403 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1404 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1406 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1407 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1408 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1409 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1410 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1411 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1414 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1415 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1418 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1419 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1421 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1424 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1427 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1435 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1437 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1439 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1440 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1441 to support printing of structures.
1442 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1443 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1444 commented out printing code.
1445 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1446 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1456 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1457 during call to scm-style-repl.
1459 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1461 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1462 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1463 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1464 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1465 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1467 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1469 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1470 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1473 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1475 * regex.scm: New file.
1476 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

1482 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1483 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1484 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1486 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1488 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1491 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1493 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1494 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1495 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1497 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1499 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1500 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1503 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1505 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1509 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1511 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1513 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1514 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1517 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1519 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1520 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1521 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1523 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1525 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1526 the Scheme code like code yet.
1527 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1529 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1531 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1532 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1533 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1535 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1537 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1539 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules

1544 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1546 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1548 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1550 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1551 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1552 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1554 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1556 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1557 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1558 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

1581 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1582 instead of in libguile.

1584 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1586 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1588 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1590 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1591 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1593 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1595 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,

1600 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1601 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,

1603 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1605 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1607 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1608 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1610 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1612 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1614 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1616 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1617 keywords and symbols.
1619 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1621 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1623 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1624 Don't define read-sharp.
1626 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1627 (read-sharp): removed.
1628 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1629 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1631 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1633 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1635 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1636 primitive procedure.)
1638 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1639 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1641 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1643 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1645 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1647 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1649 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1651 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1653 * (exit): alias for quit.
1655 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1657 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1658 return the quit args.
1659 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1660 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1661 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1663 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1665 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1667 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1669 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1670 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1672 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1673 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1675 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1676 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1679 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1681 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1683 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1684 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1685 Change hooks to use these functions.
1687 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1688 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1689 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1691 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1692 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1693 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1694 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1695 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1696 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1697 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1700 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1701 and exit-frame exceptions.
1703 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1704 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1705 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1706 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1707 result; otherwise display "> ".
1708 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1710 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1711 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1712 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1713 repository version runnable.
1715 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1717 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1718 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1719 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1720 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1721 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1722 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1724 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1726 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1727 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1729 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1731 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1732 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1734 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1736 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1738 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1740 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1743 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1745 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1746 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1748 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1750 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1753 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1755 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1756 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1758 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1760 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1762 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1763 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1764 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1765 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1766 dynamic linking of modules.
1767 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1768 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1770 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1772 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1774 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1776 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1779 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1780 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1783 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1785 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1786 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1787 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1789 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1791 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1792 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1795 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1797 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1798 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1799 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1801 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1803 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1804 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1805 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1806 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1808 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1809 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1810 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1811 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1812 (such as the-scm-module).
1814 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1816 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1819 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1821 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1822 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1823 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1825 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1827 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1828 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1829 function, use it accordingly.
1831 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1833 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1834 function of no arguments.
1835 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1836 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1837 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1838 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1839 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1840 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1841 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1842 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1844 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1846 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1847 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1849 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1851 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1852 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1853 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1854 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1855 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1857 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1860 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1861 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1862 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1863 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1865 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1867 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1869 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1870 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1871 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1873 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1876 Added `before-read-hook'.
1878 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1880 (provide): New function.
1882 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1885 (backtrace): New function.
1887 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1888 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1889 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1890 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1891 is found in operator position in a frame.
1893 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1896 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1897 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1898 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1900 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1902 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1904 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1906 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1908 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1910 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1912 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1913 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1915 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1916 so they'll get distributed.
1918 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1919 should see as little clutter as possible.
1920 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1921 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1922 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1924 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1925 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1926 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1927 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1928 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1929 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1930 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1931 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1932 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1933 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1935 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1936 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1938 * test.scm: New file.
1940 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1941 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1942 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1944 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1945 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1947 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1949 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1950 call %load-announce.
1952 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1954 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1955 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1956 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1958 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1960 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1962 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1963 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1964 SCSH (which this isn't).
1966 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1968 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1970 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1972 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1973 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1974 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1976 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1977 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1978 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1979 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1982 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1984 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1986 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1988 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1989 error-catching-loop.
1990 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1991 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1992 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1994 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1995 error-catching-loop.
1997 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1999 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2000 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2001 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2002 should be '(), not #f.
2004 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2005 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2007 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2009 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2010 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2013 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2015 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2016 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2017 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2018 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2020 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2022 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2024 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2026 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2028 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2029 throw-handler-default.
2030 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2032 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2034 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2035 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2037 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2039 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2040 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2041 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2042 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2044 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2046 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2047 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2048 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2049 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2051 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2052 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2053 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2054 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2057 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2059 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2061 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2064 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2067 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2069 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2071 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2072 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2074 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2076 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2078 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2080 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2082 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2083 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2084 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2085 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2086 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2088 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2089 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2090 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2091 they seem redundant.
2092 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2093 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2094 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2095 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2096 directly files starting with "/").
2097 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2098 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2100 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2102 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2104 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2105 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2106 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2107 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2108 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2109 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2110 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2111 robust to just do it in the C code.
2113 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2115 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2116 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2117 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2118 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
