 165
 166         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 167         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 168         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 169         frame is invoked.
 170
 171 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 182
 183         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
 184         `interaction-evironment'.
 185         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
 186         module magic.
 187         (eval-when): New macro.
 188         (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
 189         restrict the use of these forms to the top level.

 210
 211 2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 212
 213         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 214         operating systems.
 215
 216         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

 222         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 223         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 224
 225 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 226
 227         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 228         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 229
 230         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 231         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 232
 233         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 234         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 235
 236 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 239         in C for now.
 240         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 241         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 242
 243 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 244
 245         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 246         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 247         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 248         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 249         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 250         for now.
 251         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 252         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 253
 254 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 255
 256         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 257         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 258         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 259         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 260         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 261         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 262         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 263
 264 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 265
 266         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only

 268
 269 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 270
 271         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 272         any more.
 273
 274 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 275
 276         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 277         the-root-module.
 278
 279 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 280

 282
 283 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 284
 285         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 286         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 287         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 288         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 289         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 290         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 291         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 292         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 293         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 294         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 295         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 296         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 297         make-shared-substring.
 298
 299 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 300
 301         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 302         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 303         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 304         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 305         scm-style-repl.
 306
 307 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 308
 309         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 310         and open-output-pipe.
 311
 312 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 313
 314         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 315         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 316         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 317         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 318         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 319         Pirotte for the bug report).
 320         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 321         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 322
 323 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 324
 325         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

 331
 332 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 333
 334         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 335         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 336         patch.
 337
 338 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 339
 340         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 341         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 342
 343 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 344
 345         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 346         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 347         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 348
 349         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 350         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 351         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 352         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 353         actual documentation entries themselves.
 354
 355 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 371         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 385         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 386         args.
 387         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 388         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 389         even worked...  /mdj.
 390         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 391         `symbol->string'.
 392         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 393         semantics.
 394
 395 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 396
 397         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 398         form set!.
 399
 400 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 401
 402         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 403         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 404
 405 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 406
 407         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 417
 418 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 419
 420         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 421         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 422         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 423         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 424         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 425
 426         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 427
 428 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 429
 430         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 431         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 432
 433         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 434         syntactic bindings.
 435
 436         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 437         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 438         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 439         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 440
 441         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 442
 443         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 444         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 445
 446         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 447
 448         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 449         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 450
 451 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 454         definition of module-type.
 455
 456         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 457
 458         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 459
 460         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 461         lines.
 462         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 463         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 464
 465 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 466
 467         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 468
 469 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 472         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 473         Mikael for the suggestion.
 474
 475 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 476
 477         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 478         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 479
 480 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 481
 482         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 483         for export args.
 484
 485 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 486
 487         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 488
 489 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 490
 491         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 492         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 493         for the hint.
 494
 495         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 496         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 497         tail recursive yet.
 498
 499 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 500
 501         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 502         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 503
 504         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 505         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 506         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 507         See NEWS.
 508         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 509
 510         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 511
 512 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 513
 514         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 515         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 516
 517 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 518
 519         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 520         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 521
 522 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 523
 524         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 525         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 526
 527 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 528
 529         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 530
 531         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 532
 533         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 534
 535 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 538         '() instead of #f.
 539         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 540         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 541         `the-root-module'.
 542         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 543
 544         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 545         documentation.scm.
 546
 547         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 548         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 549         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 550         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 551         (help): Rewritten.
 552
 553         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 554
 555         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 556
 557 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 558
 559         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 560         (write-all): Removed.
 561         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 562         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 563
 564 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 565
 566         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 567         `proc-documentation'
 568
 569         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 570         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 571         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 572         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 573         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 574         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 575         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 576         getter...)
 577
 578 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 581
 582 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 583
 584         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 585         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 586         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 587         closure.
 588
 589 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 592         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 593         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 594         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 595         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 596         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 597         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 598
 599 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 600
 601         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 602         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 603
 604 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 605
 606         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 607         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 608
 609 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 610
 611         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 612         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 613         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 614         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 615         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 616         delete-if! when iterating.
 617
 618 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 619
 620         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 621
 622 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 623
 624         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 625
 626 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 627
 628         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 629         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 630         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 631         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 632
 633 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 634
 635         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 636         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 637
 638 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 639
 640         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 641         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 642         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 643         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 644
 645 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 646
 647         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 648         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 649
 650 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 651
 652         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 653         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 654
 655 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 656
 657         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 658         Dirk Hermann!
 659
 660 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 661
 662         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 663         source of the numerous very short changes.
 664
 665 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 666
 667         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 668         public.
 669
 670         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 671         info pages.
 672
 673 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 674
 675         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 676         from slib docs.
 677
 678 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 679
 680         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 681         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 682
 683 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 684
 685         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 686         to string-append.
 687
 688 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 689
 690         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 691         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 692         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 693
 694 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 695
 696         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 697         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 698         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 699         Narazaki for this change.
 700
 701 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 704         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 705         %S.
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 708         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 709
 710 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 713         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 714
 715 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 716
 717         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 718         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 719         use define-public to export from the module.
 720
 721 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 722
 723         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 724         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 725         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 726
 727 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 728
 729         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 730
 731 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 732
 733         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 734         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 735
 736 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 737
 738         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 739
 740         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 741
 742         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 743
 744 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 745
 746         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 747         long_long uniform vectors.
 748
 749 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 750
 751         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 752         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 753
 754 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 755
 756         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 757         script to create generated files like this one.
 758
 759 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 760
 761         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 762         available before using getpw and getuid.
 763         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 764         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 765         check for stat.
 766         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 767         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 768         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 769         available.
 770         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 771         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 772         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 773
 774         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 775         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 776
 777         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 778
 779 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 780
 781         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 782         than 'exit-debugger.
 783
 784         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 785         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 786
 787         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 788
 789 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 790
 791         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 792         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 793         ("position"): New command.
 794         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 795         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 796         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 797         to return a valid state.)
 798         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 799
 800 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 801
 802         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 803         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 804         Badros.)
 805
 806 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 807
 808         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 809         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 810
 811 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 812
 813         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 814
 815         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 816
 817         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.

 822         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 823         expression.
 824         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 825         Handle errors.
 826
 827 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 828
 829         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 830         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 831
 832         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 833
 834 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 837         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 838         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 839         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 840
 841         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 842         argument.
 843
 844         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 845         both forward and backward views of the stack
 846         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 847         Use selector `frame-number';
 848         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 849         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 850         Use (ice-9 debug).
 851         Use readline conditionally.
 852
 853 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 854
 855         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 856         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 857         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 858
 859         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 860         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 861         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 862
 863 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 864
 865         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 866
 867         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 868
 869         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 870
 871         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 872
 873 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 874
 875         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 876         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 877         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 878         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 879         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 880         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 881         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 882         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 883         libguile-config-stamp.
 884         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 885         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 886         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 887         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 888         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 889
 890 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 891
 892         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 893         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 894         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 895
 896         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 897         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 898         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 899         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 900         readline.
 901
 902         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 903
 904 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 907
 908 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 909
 910         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 911         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 912
 913 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 914
 915         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 916         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 917         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 918         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 919         objects starting with '#/'.
 920
 921 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 922
 923         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 924         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 925         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 926         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 927         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 928         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 929         `observer-id'.
 930         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 931         module-modified): New procedures.
 932         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 933         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 934
 935 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 936
 937         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 938         defines.
 939
 940 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 941
 942         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 943         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 944         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 945
 946         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 947         position.
 948
 949 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 950
 951         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 952         at multiple calls to read.
 953         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 954         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 955         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 956         continued-lines prompt.
 957
 958         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 959         reading expressions.
 960
 961 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 962
 963         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 964         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 965
 966 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 967
 968         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 969         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 970         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 971
 972         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 973
 974         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 975         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 976
 977         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 978         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 979         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 980         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 981         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 982         instead of a port.
 983
 984 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 985
 986         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 987         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 988
 989         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 990
 991         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 992         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 993         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 994         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 995
 996         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 997
 998         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 999
1000         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1001         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1002         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1003         an alist.
1004
1005         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1006
1007         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1008         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1009         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1010         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1011         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1012         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1013         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1014         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1015         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1016         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1017         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1018
1019         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1020
1021         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1022         peeked from the stream.
1023         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1024         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1025         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1026
1027         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1028
1029         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1030         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1031
1032         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1033
1034         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1035         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1036         exiting repl with single control-D.
1037
1038         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1041         error catching loop after quit received.
1042         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1045         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1046         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1047
1048         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1049         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1050         boot-9.scm.
1051         * popen.scm: new file.
1052
1053 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1054
1055        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1056        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1057
1058 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1059
1060         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1061         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1062
1063 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1064
1065         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1066         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1067         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1068         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1069         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1070
1071 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1072
1073         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1074
1075         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1076         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1077
1078         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1079         Guile's module system.
1080
1081         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1082         changes:
1083         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1084         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1085         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1086         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1087         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1088         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1089         modern CL behavior.
1090         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1091         '() when the condition is false.
1092
1093 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1094
1095         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1096
1097 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1098
1099         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1100
1101 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1102
1103         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1104         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1105         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1106
1107 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1108
1109         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1110         argument order for hash-fold.
1111
1112 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1113
1114         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1115         resolve-module.
1116         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1117         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1118
1119         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1120         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1121         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1122         has been added to the load path).
1123
1124         Use try-load-module.

1126 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1127
1128         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1129         module between system and user state.
1130
1131 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1132
1133         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1134
1135         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1136         definition.
1137
1138 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1139
1140         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1141         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1142         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1143
1144 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1145
1146         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1147         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1148         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1149         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1150         stack frame encountered.
1151
1152         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1153         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1154         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1155         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1156         list).]
1157
1158         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1159         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1160         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1161         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1162         please tell me!]
1163
1164         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1165         define-module switches:
1166
1167         (define-module (foo)
1168           :no-backtrace)
1169
1170         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1171         modules.
1172
1173         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1174         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1175         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1176         module it is a system frame.
1177
1178         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1179         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1180         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1181         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1182         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1183
1184         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1185         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1186         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1187         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1188         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1189         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1192         status of a module.;
1193         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1194         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1195
1196         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1197         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1198         closure to the module.
1199
1200         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1201
1202 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1203

1209
1210 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1211
1212         Fix from Russ McManus:
1213         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1214         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1215         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1216         either an optional or required value.
1217
1218 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1219
1220         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1221
1222         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1223         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1224
1225         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1226         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1227         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1228         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1229
1230 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1231
1232         * optargs.scm: New file.
1233         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1234         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1235
1236 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1237
1238         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1239         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1240         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1241
1242 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1243
1244         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1245         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1246         for isn't loaded.
1247
1248 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1249
1250         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1251
1252 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1253
1254         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1255         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1256         applied to the module itself.
1257
1258 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1259
1260         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1261
1262         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1263         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1264
1265 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1269 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1270
1271         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1272
1273 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1274
1275         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1276         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1277
1278 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1279
1280         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1281         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1282         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1283         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1284         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1285         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1286         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1287
1288 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1291         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1292
1293 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1294
1295         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1296         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1297         static libraries.
1298
1299 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1300
1301         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1302
1303 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1304
1305         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1306
1307 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1308
1309         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1310         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1311         adapt to the new hooks.
1312
1313 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1314
1315         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1316         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1317         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1318         code.
1319         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1320         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1321
1322         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1323         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1324         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1325         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1326         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1327         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1328         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1329         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1330         first to register linked modules.
1331
1332         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1333         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1334         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1335
1336         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1337         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1338         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1339         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1340
1341         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1342         to use from C:
1343         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1344         libguile/feature.c.
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1347         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1348         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1349
1350 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1351
1352         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1353         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1354         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1355
1356 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1357
1358         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1359         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1360         result of the last form.
1361
1362 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1363
1364         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1365         syncase.scm.
1366
1367         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1368
1369         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1370         readline-set!: New options interface.
1371
1372         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1373
1374 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1375
1376         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1377         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1378
1379 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1380
1381         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1382         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1383
1384 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1387         interactive session.
1388         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1389
1390         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1391         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1392
1393 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1394
1395         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1396
1397 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1398
1399         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1400         read line was empty.
1401
1402 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1403
1404         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1405         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1406
1407         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1408
1409         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1410         problem.  Duh.
1411         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1412         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1413         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1416         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1417         into...
1418         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1419         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1420         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1421
1422         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1423         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1424         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1425         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1426         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1427         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1428         psyntax.ss.
1429         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1430
1431         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1432         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1433
1434 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1437         and short vectors #h(...).
1438
1439 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1440
1441         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1442         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1443         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1444
1445 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1446
1447         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1448         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1449         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1450
1451 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1452
1453         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1454         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1455
1456         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1457         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1458         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1459         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1460
1461 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1462
1463         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1464         trace flag.
1465
1466         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1467         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1468         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1469         context with traps enabled.
1470
1471 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1472
1473         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1474         module.
1475         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1476
1477 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1478
1479         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1480         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1481         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1482         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1483         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.

1485 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1486
1487         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1488         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1489
1490 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1491
1492         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1493
1494 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1495
1496         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1497
1498 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1499
1500         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1501
1502 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1503
1504         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1505         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1506
1507 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1508
1509         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1510         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1511         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1512         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1513         Archibald.)
1514
1515         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1516         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1517         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1518
1519 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1520
1521         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1522         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1523         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1524         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1525         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1526         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1527         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1528
1529 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1530
1531         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1532
1533 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1534
1535         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1536         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1537         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1538         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1539         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1540         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1541
1542 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1543
1544         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1545         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1546         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1547         Steven G. Johnson.)
1548
1549 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1550
1551         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1552
1553 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1554
1555         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1556
1557 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1558
1559         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1560         be completed.
1561
1562 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1563
1564         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1565
1566 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1567
1568         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1569         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1570
1571 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1574         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1575         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1576         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1577         transformer.
1578         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1579         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1580
1581 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1582
1583         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1584
1585 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1586
1587         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1588         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1589         completion.
1590
1591         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1592         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1593
1594         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1595         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1596         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1597
1598         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1599
1600 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1601
1602         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1603
1604         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1605         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1606
1607 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608
1609         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1610
1611 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1612
1613         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1614         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1615
1616         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1617
1618         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1619         obsolete.
1620
1621 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1622
1623         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1624         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1625
1626 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1627
1628         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1629
1630 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1631
1632         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1633         Stachowiak.)
1634
1635 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1636
1637         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1638         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1639         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1640         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1641         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1642         threads.
1643
1644 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1645
1646         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1647         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1648         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1649
1650 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1651
1652         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1653
1654         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1655         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1656
1657 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1658
1659         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1660         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1661         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1662         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1663         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1664         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1665         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1666         to go here.
1667
1668 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1671         is now a fluid.
1672
1673 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1674
1675         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1676         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1677         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1678         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1679         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1680         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1681
1682 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1683
1684         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1685         usefully so they will work from a script.
1686
1687 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1688
1689         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1690         neighborhood of the record code.
1691
1692 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1695         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1696         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1697         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1698
1699 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1700
1701         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1702         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1703         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1704
1705 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1706
1707         Add support for readline function.
1708         * readline.scm: New module.
1709         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1710         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1711         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1712         anything.
1713         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1714         repl-reader to use them.
1715         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1716
1717         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1718
1719 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1720
1721         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1722         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1723
1724 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1725
1726         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1727         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1728         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1729
1730 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1731
1732         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1733         #f, abort terminates the process.
1734         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1735         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1736
1737 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1740         print-state, throw it away.
1741
1742 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1743
1744         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1745         `0'.
1746
1747 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1748
1749         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1750         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1751         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1752         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1753         user field).
1754         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1755         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1756
1757 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1758
1759         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1760
1761 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1762
1763         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1764         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1765         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1766         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1767         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1768         boot-9.scm.
1769         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1770         distribution and installation.
1771         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1772
1773 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1774
1775         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1776
1777 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1778
1779         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1780         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1781         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1784         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1785         symbol.
1786
1787 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1788
1789         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1790
1791         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1792
1793 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1794
1795         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1796         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1797         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1798         field a separate argument.
1799
1800         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1801
1802 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1803
1804         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1805
1806         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1807         vicinity;
1808         Provide defmacro.
1809
1810 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1811
1812         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1813
1814 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1815
1816         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1817         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1818         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1819         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1820         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1821         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1822         registered.
1823         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1824         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1825         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1826         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1827         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1831
1832         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1833
1834 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1835
1836         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1837         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1838
1839 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1840
1841         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1842
1843         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1844         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1845         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1846         expansion inside the slib module.
1847
1848         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1849         constructors.
1850         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1851         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1852         (let): New core form.
1853         (if): Removed from core language.
1854         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.

1856         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1857
1858         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1859         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1860         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1861         source.
1862         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1863         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1864         been loaded.
1865
1866 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1867
1868         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1869         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1870         `use-syntax'.
1871         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1872
1873         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1874         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1875         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1876         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1877         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1878         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1879         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1880         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1881         module.
1882         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1883
1884 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1885
1886         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1887
1888         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1889         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1890         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1891         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1892         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1893
1894         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1895         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1896         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1897         syncase macros.
1898         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1899         the syncase interface.
1900
1901 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1902
1903         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1904         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1905         workings of the current module system).
1906
1907 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1908
1909         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1910         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1911         off!
1912
1913 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1916         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1917         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1918
1919 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1920
1921         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1922         according to the following priorities:
1923         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1924         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1925         3. tcl bindings
1926         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1927         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1928         (new-interpreter): New function.
1929
1930         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1931         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1932         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1933
1934 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1941
1942 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1943
1944         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1945         procedures.

1949
1950         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1951         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1952         source!
1953
1954 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1955

1959         symbols matching regexp.
1960
1961         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1962         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1963         in stack-ref).
1964
1965         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1966         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1967         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1968         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1969         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1970         result protocol;
1971         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1972         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1983
1984 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1985
1986         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1987         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1988         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1989
1990         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1991
1992         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1993         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1994         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1995
1996 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2001 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2002
2003         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2004         cstime.
2005
2006 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2007
2008         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2009         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2010         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2011
2012         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2013         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2014         the top.
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2017         order to narrow it correctly.
2018         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2019
2020 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2021
2022         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2023         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2024
2025 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2026
2027         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2028
2029 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2030
2031         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2032         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2033
2034 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2035
2036         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2037         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2038         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2039
2040 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2041
2042         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2043         automatically.
2044
2045 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2048         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2049         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2050         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2051         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2052
2053 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2054
2055         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2056         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2057         a default of /.
2058
2059         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2060
2061 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2062
2063         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2064         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2065         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2068         make-regexp.
2069

2071
2072         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2073         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2074         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2075         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2076         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2077         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2078
2079         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2080         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2081         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2082         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2083
2084 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2085
2086         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2087         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2088         sending in bug reports.
2089         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2090         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2091         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2092         display a warning if the two are different.
2093         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2094         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2095         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2096
2097 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2098
2099         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2100
2101 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2102
2103         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2104         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2105
2106         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2107         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2108         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2109         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2110         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2111         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2112         that's okay.
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2115         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2116         regexp interface.
2117
2118         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2119         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2120
2121         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2122         function names.
2123
2124         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2125         fixes.
2126
2127 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2128
2129         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2130         ../configure.in.
2131
2132 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2133
2134         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2135         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2136
2137 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2138
2139         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2140         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2141         to support printing of structures.
2142         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2143         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2144         commented out printing code.
2145         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2146         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2147
2148 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2149
2150         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2151
2152 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2153
2154         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2155         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2156         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2157         during call to scm-style-repl.
2158
2159 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2160
2161         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2162         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2163         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2164         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2165         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2166
2167 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2168
2169         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2170         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2171         (ice-9 regex).
2172
2173 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2174
2175         * regex.scm: New file.
2176         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2177         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2178
2179 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2180
2181         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2182         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2183         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2184         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

2187
2188         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2189         in 1997.
2190
2191 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2192
2193         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2194         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2195         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2196
2197 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2198
2199         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2200         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2201         here.
2202
2203 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2204
2205         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2206
2207 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2208
2209         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2210
2211 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2212
2213         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2214         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2215         fixes this too.
2216
2217 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2220         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2221         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2222
2223 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2224
2225         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2226         the Scheme code like code yet.
2227         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2228
2229 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2230
2231         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2232         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2233         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2234
2235 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2236
2237         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2238         use-modules macro
2239         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2240         can't be found.
2241
2242 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2243
2244         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2245
2246 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2247
2248         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2249
2250         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2251         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2252         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2253
2254 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2255
2256         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2257         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2258         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2259
2260         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2261         no plugins.
2262         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2263         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2264
2265 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2266
2267         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2268         functions.
2269

2271
2272         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2273
2274 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2275
2276         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2277         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2278
2279 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2280
2281         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2282         instead of in libguile.
2283         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2284         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2285
2286 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2287
2288         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2289         procedures.
2290         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2291         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2292
2293 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2294
2295         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2296         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2297
2298 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2301         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2302         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2303         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2304
2305 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2308         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2309
2310 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311
2312         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2313
2314 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2315
2316         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2317         keywords and symbols.
2318
2319 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2320
2321         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2322
2323         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2324         Don't define read-sharp.
2325
2326         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2327         (read-sharp): removed.
2328         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2329         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2330
2331 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2332
2333         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2334
2335         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2336         primitive procedure.)
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2339         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2340

2342
2343         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2344
2345 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2348
2349 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2350
2351         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2352         read gets EOF.
2353         * (exit): alias for quit.
2354
2355 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2356
2357         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2358         return the quit args.
2359         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2360         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2361         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2362
2363         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2364
2365 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2366
2367         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2368
2369         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2370         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2371
2372         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2373         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2374
2375         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2376         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2377         of handlers.
2378
2379 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2380
2381         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2384         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2385         Change hooks to use these functions.
2386
2387         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2388         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2389         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2390         the source! :-)
2391         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2392         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2393         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2394         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2395         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2396         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2397         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2398         traced.
2399
2400         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2401         and exit-frame exceptions.
2402
2403         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2404         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2405         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2406         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2407         result; otherwise display "> ".
2408         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2409
2410         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2411         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2412         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2413         repository version runnable.
2414
2415 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2416
2417         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2418         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2419         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2420         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2421         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2422         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2423
2424 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2425
2426         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2427         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2428         and eval.
2429         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2430         "defined?".
2431         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2432         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2433
2434 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2435
2436         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2437
2438 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2441         %read-sharp layer.
2442
2443 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2444
2445         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2446         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2447
2448 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2449
2450         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2451         backtrace.c.)
2452
2453 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2454
2455         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2456         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2457
2458 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2459
2460         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2461
2462         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2463         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2464         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2465         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2466         dynamic linking of modules.
2467         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2468         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2469
2470 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2473
2474 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2475
2476         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2477         that's what it is.
2478
2479         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2480         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2481         was false.
2482
2483 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2486         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2487         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2488
2489 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2490
2491         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2492         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2493         yet.
2494
2495 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2498         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2499         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2500
2501 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2502
2503         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2504         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2505         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2506         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2507
2508         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2509         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2510         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2511         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2512         (such as the-scm-module).
2513
2514 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2515
2516         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2517         %search-load-path.
2518
2519 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2520
2521         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2522         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2523         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2524
2525 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2526
2527         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2528         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2529         function, use it accordingly.
2530
2531 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2532
2533         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2534         function of no arguments.
2535         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2536         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2537         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2538         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2539         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2540         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2541         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2542         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2543
2544 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2545
2546         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2547         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2548
2549 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2550
2551         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2552         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2553         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2554         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2555         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2556
2557         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2558         `*features*'.
2559
2560         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2561         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2562         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2563         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2564
2565         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2566
2567         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2568
2569         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2570         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2571         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2572
2573         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2574         error.
2575
2576         Added `before-read-hook'.
2577
2578         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2579
2580         (provide): New function.
2581
2582         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2583         in backtraces.
2584
2585         (backtrace): New function.
2586
2587         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2588         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2589         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2590         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2591         is found in operator position in a frame.
2592
2593         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2594         by default.
2595
2596         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2597         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2598         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2599
2600         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2601
2602         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2603
2604         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2605
2606         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2607
2608 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2609
2610         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2611
2612         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2613         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2614
2615         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2616         so they'll get distributed.
2617
2618         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2619         should see as little clutter as possible.
2620         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2621         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2622         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2623
2624         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2625         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2626         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2627         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2628         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2629         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2630         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2631         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2632         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2633         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2634         that are not.
2635         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2636         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2637
2638         * test.scm: New file.
2639
2640         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2641         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2642         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2643
2644         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2645         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2646
2647         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2648         work now.
2649         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2650         call %load-announce.
2651
2652 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2653
2654         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2655         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2656         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2657         components.
2658         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2659
2660 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2663         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2664         SCSH (which this isn't).
2665
2666 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2667
2668         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2669
2670 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2671
2672         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2673         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2674         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2675         these.
2676         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2677         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2678         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2679         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2680         save-stack.
2681
2682 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2683
2684         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2685
2686         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2687
2688         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2689         error-catching-loop.
2690         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2691         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2692         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2693
2694         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2695         error-catching-loop.
2696
2697 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2698
2699         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2700         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2701         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2702         should be '(), not #f.
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2705         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2706
2707 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2708
2709         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2710         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2711         error-signal.
2712
2713 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2714
2715         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2716         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2717         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2718         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2719
2720 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2721
2722         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2723
2724 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2725
2726         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2727
2728         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2729         throw-handler-default.
2730         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2731         reported.
2732         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2733         acro.
2734         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2735         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2736
2737 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2738
2739         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2740         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2741         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2742         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2743
2744 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2745
2746         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2747         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2748         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2749         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2750         ...))
2751         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2752         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2753         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2754         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2755         file-is-directory?
2756
2757 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2758
2759         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2760
2761         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2762         distribution.
2763
2764         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2765         `switch-repl'.
2766
2767         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2768
2769 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2770
2771         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2772         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2773
2774 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2775
2776         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2777
2778         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2779
2780 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2781
2782         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2783         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2784         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2785         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2786         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2787
2788         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2789         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2790         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2791         they seem redundant.
2792         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2793         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2794         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2795         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2796         directly files starting with "/").
2797         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2798         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2799
2800         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2801
2802 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2803
2804         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2805         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2806         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2807         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2808         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2809         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2810         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2811         robust to just do it in the C code.
2812
2813 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2814
2815         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2816         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2817         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2818         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2819         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2820
2821 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2822
2823         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2824         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2825         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2826
2827 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2828
2829         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2830         system-error, not every kind of error.
2831         (scm-error): new procedure.
2832
2833 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2834
2835         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2836
2837 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2838
2839         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2840         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2841         of args are supplied.
2842         (%%system-errors): removed.
2843         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2844         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2845         %%handle-system-error.
2846         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2847         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2848         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2849         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2850
2851 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2852
2853         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2854         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.

2876
2877         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2878         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2879         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2880         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2881         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2918         for these.
