ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
   4         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
   5         adapt to the new hooks.
   6
   7 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
   8
   9         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
  10         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
  11         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
  12         code.
  13         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
  14         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
  15
  16         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
  17         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
  18         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
  19         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
  20         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
  21         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
  22         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
  23         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
  24         first to register linked modules.
  25
  26         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
  27         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
  28         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
  29
  30         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
  31         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
  32         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
  33         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
  34
  35         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
  36         to use from C:
  37         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
  38         libguile/feature.c.
  39
  40         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
  41         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
  42         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
  43
  44 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  45
  46         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
  47         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
  48         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
  49
  50 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
  53         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
  54         result of the last form.
  55
  56 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
  59         syncase.scm.
  60
  61         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
  64         readline-set!: New options interface.
  65
  66         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
  67
  68 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  69
  70         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
  71         at the end of boot-9.scm.
  72
  73 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  74
  75         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
  76         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  77
  78 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  79
  80         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
  81         interactive session.
  82         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
  83
  84         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
  85         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
  86
  87 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  88
  89         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
  90
  91 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  92
  93         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
  94         read line was empty.
  95
  96 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  97
  98         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
  99         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 100
 101         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 102
 103         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 104         problem.  Duh.
 105         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 106         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 107         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 108
 109         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 110         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 111         into...
 112         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 113         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 114         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 115
 116         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 117         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 118         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 119         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 120         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 121         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 122         psyntax.ss.
 123         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 124
 125         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 126         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 127
 128 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 129
 130         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 131         and short vectors #h(...).
 132
 133 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 134
 135         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 136         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 137         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 138
 139 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 140
 141         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 142         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 143         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 144
 145 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 148         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 149
 150         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 151         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 152         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 153         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 154
 155 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 156
 157         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 158         trace flag.
 159
 160         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 161         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 162         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 163         context with traps enabled.
 164
 165 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 166
 167         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 168         module.
 169         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 170
 171 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 174         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 175         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 176         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 177         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 178
 179 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 180
 181         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 182         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 183
 184 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 185
 186         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 187
 188 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 189
 190         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 191
 192 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 193
 194         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 195
 196 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 197
 198         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 199         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 200
 201 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 202
 203         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 204         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 205         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 206         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 207         Archibald.)
 208
 209         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 210         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 211         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 212
 213 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 214
 215         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 216         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 217         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 218         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 219         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 220         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 221         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 222
 223 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 224
 225         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 226
 227 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 228
 229         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 230         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 231         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 232         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 233         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 234         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 235
 236 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 239         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 240         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 241         Steven G. Johnson.)
 242
 243 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 244
 245         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 246
 247 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 248
 249         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 250
 251 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 252
 253         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 254         be completed.
 255
 256 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 257
 258         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 259
 260 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 261
 262         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 263         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 264
 265 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 266
 267         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 268         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 269         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 270         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 271         transformer.
 272         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 273         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 274
 275 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 276
 277         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 278
 279 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 280
 281         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 282         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 283         completion.
 284
 285         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 286         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 289         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 290         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 293
 294 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 297
 298         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 299         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 300
 301 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 302
 303         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 304
 305 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 306
 307         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 308         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 309
 310         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 311
 312         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 313         obsolete.
 314
 315 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 316
 317         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 318         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 319
 320 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 321
 322         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 323
 324 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 325
 326         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 327         Stachowiak.)
 328
 329 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 330
 331         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 332         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 333         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 334         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 335         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 336         threads.
 337
 338 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 339
 340         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 341         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 342         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 343
 344 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 347
 348         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 349         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 350
 351 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 354         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 355         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 356         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 357         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 358         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 359         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 360         to go here.
 361
 362 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 363
 364         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 365         is now a fluid.
 366
 367 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 368
 369         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 370         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 371         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 372         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 373         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 374         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 375
 376 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 377
 378         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 379         usefully so they will work from a script.
 380
 381 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 382
 383         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the

 385
 386 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 387
 388         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 389         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 390         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 391         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 392
 393 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 394
 395         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 396         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 397         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 398
 399 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 400
 401         Add support for readline function.
 402         * readline.scm: New module.
 403         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 404         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 405         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 406         anything.
 407         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 408         repl-reader to use them.
 409         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 410
 411         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 412
 413 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 414
 415         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,

 421         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 422         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 423
 424 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 425
 426         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 427         #f, abort terminates the process.
 428         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 429         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 430
 431 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 432
 433         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a

 442
 443         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 444         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 445         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 446         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 447         user field).
 448         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 449         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 450
 451 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 454
 455 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 456
 457         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 458         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 459         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 460         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 461         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 462         boot-9.scm.
 463         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 464         distribution and installation.
 465         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 466

 471 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 472
 473         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 474         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 475         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 476
 477         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 478         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 479         symbol.
 480
 481 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 482
 483         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 484
 485         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 486
 487 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 488

 490         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 491         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 492         field a separate argument.
 493
 494         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 495

 497
 498         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

 503
 504 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 509
 510         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 511         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 512         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 513         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 514         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 515         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 516         registered.
 517         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 518         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 519         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 520         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 521         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 522         link a .so-file.
 523
 524 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 532
 533 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 534
 535         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 536
 537         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 538         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 539         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 540         expansion inside the slib module.
 541
 542         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 543         constructors.

 551
 552         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 553         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 554         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 555         source.
 556         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 557         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 558         been loaded.
 559
 560 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

 569         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 570         mutator for module-associated transformer.

 572         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 573         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 574         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 575         module.
 576         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 577
 578 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 581
 582         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 583         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 584         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 585         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 586         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 587
 588         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 589         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 590         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 591         syncase macros.
 592         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 593         the syncase interface.
 594
 595 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 596
 597         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 598         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 599         workings of the current module system).
 600
 601 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 602
 603         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 604         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

 613 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 616         according to the following priorities:
 617         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 618         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 619         3. tcl bindings
 620         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 621         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 622         (new-interpreter): New function.
 623
 624         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 625         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 626         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

 643
 644         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 645         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 646         source!

 656         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 657         in stack-ref).

 660         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 661         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 662         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 663         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 664         result protocol;
 665         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,

 679
 680         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 681         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 682         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 683
 684         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

 701
 702         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 703         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value

 705
 706         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 707         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at

 710         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 711         order to narrow it correctly.

 727
 728 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 729
 730         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 731         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 732         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 733
 734 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 740
 741         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 742         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 743         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 744         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 745         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 746
 747 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 748
 749         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 750         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 751         a default of /.
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 754
 755 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 758         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 759         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 760
 761         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 762         make-regexp.
 763
 764 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 765
 766         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 767         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 768         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 769         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 770         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 771         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 772
 773         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 774         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 775         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 776         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 777
 778 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 779
 780         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 781         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 782         sending in bug reports.
 783         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 784         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 785         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 786         display a warning if the two are different.
 787         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 788         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 789         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 790
 791 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 792
 793         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 794
 795 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 798         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 799
 800         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 801         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 802         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 803         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 804         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 805         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 806         that's okay.
 807
 808         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 809         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 810         regexp interface.
 811
 812         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 813         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 814
 815         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 816         function names.
 817
 818         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 819         fixes.
 820
 821 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 822
 823         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 824         ../configure.in.
 825
 826 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 829         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 830
 831 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 832
 833         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 834         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 835         to support printing of structures.
 836         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 837         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 838         commented out printing code.
 839         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 840         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 841
 842 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 843
 844         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 845
 846 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 847
 848         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 849         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 850         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 851         during call to scm-style-repl.
 852
 853 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 854
 855         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 856         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 857         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 858         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 859         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 860
 861 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 862
 863         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 864         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 865         (ice-9 regex).
 866
 867 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 868
 869         * regex.scm: New file.
 870         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 871         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 872
 873 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 874
 875         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 876         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 877         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

 883         in 1997.
 884
 885 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 886
 887         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 888         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 889         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 890
 891 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 892
 893         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 894         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 895         here.
 896
 897 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 898
 899         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 900
 901 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 902
 903         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 904
 905 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 908         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 909         fixes this too.
 910
 911 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 912
 913         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 914         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 915         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 916
 917 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 918
 919         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 920         the Scheme code like code yet.
 921         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 922
 923 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 924
 925         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 926         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 927         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 928
 929 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 932         use-modules macro
 933         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 934         can't be found.
 935
 936 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 937
 938         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 939
 940 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 941
 942         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 943
 944         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 945         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 946         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 947
 948 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

 952         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

 955         no plugins.
 956         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 957         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

 968 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 969
 970         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 971         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

 974
 975         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here

 981
 982         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 983         procedures.

 992 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

 994         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 995         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 996         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 997         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 998
 999 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1000
1001         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1002         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1003
1004 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1005
1006         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

1013 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1018         Don't define read-sharp.
1019
1020         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1021         (read-sharp): removed.

1024
1025 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1043 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1044
1045         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1046         read gets EOF.
1047         * (exit): alias for quit.
1048
1049 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1050
1051         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1052         return the quit args.
1053         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1054         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1055         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1056
1057         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).

1065
1066         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:

1079         Change hooks to use these functions.
1080
1081         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1082         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1083         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1084         the source! :-)
1085         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1086         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1087         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1088         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1089         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1090         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1091         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1092         traced.
1093
1094         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1095         and exit-frame exceptions.
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1098         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1099         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1100         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1101         result; otherwise display "> ".
1102         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1103
1104         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1105         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1106         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1107         repository version runnable.
1108
1109 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1112         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1113         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1114         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1115         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1116         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1117
1118 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1119
1120         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1121         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1122         and eval.
1123         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1124         "defined?".
1125         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1126         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1127
1128 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1129
1130         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1131
1132 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1135         %read-sharp layer.
1136
1137 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1138
1139         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1140         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1141
1142 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1143
1144         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1145         backtrace.c.)
1146
1147 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1148
1149         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1150         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1151
1152 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1153
1154         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1155
1156         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1157         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1158         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1159         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1160         dynamic linking of modules.
1161         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1162         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1163
1164 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1167
1168 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1171         that's what it is.
1172
1173         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1174         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1175         was false.
1176
1177 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1178
1179         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1180         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1181         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1182
1183 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1186         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1187         yet.
1188
1189 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1192         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1193         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1194
1195 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1196
1197         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1198         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1199         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1200         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1201
1202         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1203         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1204         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1205         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1206         (such as the-scm-module).
1207
1208 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1209
1210         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1211         %search-load-path.
1212
1213 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1214
1215         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1216         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1217         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1218
1219 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1220
1221         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1222         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1223         function, use it accordingly.
1224
1225 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1226
1227         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1228         function of no arguments.
1229         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1230         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1231         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1232         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1233         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1234         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1235         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1236         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1237
1238 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1239
1240         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1241         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1242
1243 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1246         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1247         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1248         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1249         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1250
1251         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1252         `*features*'.
1253
1254         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1255         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1256         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1257         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1258
1259         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1260
1261         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1262
1263         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1264         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1265         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1266
1267         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1268         error.
1269
1270         Added `before-read-hook'.
1271
1272         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1273
1274         (provide): New function.
1275
1276         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1277         in backtraces.
1278
1279         (backtrace): New function.
1280
1281         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1282         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1283         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1284         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1285         is found in operator position in a frame.
1286
1287         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1288         by default.
1289
1290         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1291         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1292         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1293
1294         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1295
1296         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1297
1298         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1299
1300         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1301
1302 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1303
1304         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1307         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1308
1309         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1310         so they'll get distributed.
1311
1312         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1313         should see as little clutter as possible.
1314         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1315         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1316         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1317
1318         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1319         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1320         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1321         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1322         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1323         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1324         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1325         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1326         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1327         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1328         that are not.
1329         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1330         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1331
1332         * test.scm: New file.
1333
1334         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1335         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1336         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1337
1338         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1339         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1340
1341         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1342         work now.
1343         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1344         call %load-announce.
1345
1346 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1349         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1350         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1351         components.
1352         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1353
1354 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1355
1356         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1357         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1358         SCSH (which this isn't).
1359
1360 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1363
1364 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1365
1366         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1367         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1368         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1369         these.
1370         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1371         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1372         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1373         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1374         save-stack.
1375
1376 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1377
1378         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1379
1380         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1383         error-catching-loop.
1384         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1385         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1386         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1387
1388         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1389         error-catching-loop.
1390
1391 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1392
1393         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1394         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1395         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1396         should be '(), not #f.
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1399         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1400
1401 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1404         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1405         error-signal.
1406
1407 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1410         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1411         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1412         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1413
1414 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1415
1416         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1417
1418 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1419
1420         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1421
1422         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1423         throw-handler-default.
1424         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1425         reported.
1426         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1427         acro.
1428         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1429         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.

1431 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1432
1433         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1434         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1435         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1436         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1437

1439
1440         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1441         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1442         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1443         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1444         ...))
1445         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1446         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1447         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1448         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1449         file-is-directory?
1450
1451 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1452
1453         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1454
1455         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1456         distribution.
1457
1458         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1459         `switch-repl'.
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1462
1463 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1464
1465         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1466         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1467
1468 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1469
1470         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1471
1472         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1473
1474 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1475
1476         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1477         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1478         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1479         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1480         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1481
1482         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1483         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1484         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1485         they seem redundant.
1486         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1487         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1488         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1489         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1490         directly files starting with "/").
1491         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1492         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1493
1494         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1495
1496 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1497
1498         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1499         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1500         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1501         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1502         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1503         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1504         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1505         robust to just do it in the C code.
1506
1507 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1508
1509         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1510         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1511         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1512         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1513         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1514
1515 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1516
1517         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1518         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1519         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1520
1521 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1522
1523         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1524         system-error, not every kind of error.
1525         (scm-error): new procedure.
1526
1527 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1528
1529         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1530
1531 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1532
1533         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1534         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1535         of args are supplied.
1536         (%%system-errors): removed.
1537         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1538         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1539         %%handle-system-error.
1540         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1541         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1542         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1543         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1544
1545 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1548         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1549         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1550         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1551
1552 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1553
1554         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1555         the empty list if they are #f.
1556         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1557
1558 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1559
1560         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1561
1562         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1563         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1564         aborting, just the key and subr.
1565         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1566         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1567         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1568
1569 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1570
1571         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1572         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1573         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1574         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1575         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1576
1577 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1580         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1581         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1582         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1583
1584 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1585
1586         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1587         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1588         initialize %load-path.
1589
1590         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1591         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1592
1593 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1594
1595         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1596         Add the directory named after the version number.
1597         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1598         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1599         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1600         sitedatadir): New definitions.
1601         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

1606 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1607
1608         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1609         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1610         in the Makefile directly.
1611         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1612         for these.
1613         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1614         aux_files.

1616         here, where people expect to find them.

1626

1645         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1646         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

1651         (manifest): Deleted.
1652         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

1654
1655 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1656
1657         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1658         now that they throw errors directly.

1660         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1661
