  11
  12 2002-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

  23

  25
  26         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
  27         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
  28         exponents.
  29
  30 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

  35
  36         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

  57
  58 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  59
  60         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
  61         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
  62         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
  63
  64         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

  77
  78         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
  79         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
  80         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
  81         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
  82
  83 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  84

  88         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
  89         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.

  92
  93         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

  95
  96 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  97

  99         scm_compile_shell_switches.
 100
 101         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 102         positions.
 103
 104 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 105
 106         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 107         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 108         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 109
 110         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 111           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
 112           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 113           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 114           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,
 115           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
 116           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 117           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 118           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 119           exporting bindings.
 120
 121 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 122
 123         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 124         :re-export-syntax
 125
 126 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 127
 128         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 129         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 130         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 131         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 132
 133 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 134
 135         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 136         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 137         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 138         builtin-variable.

 141
 142         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 143
 144 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 145
 146         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 147
 148         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 149
 150 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 151
 152         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 153         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 154
 155 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 156
 157         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 158         the `arglist' procedure property.
 159         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 160         present a more detailed argument list.
 161
 162         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 163
 164 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 165
 166         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 167         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel

 170 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 171
 172         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 173
 174         (feature?): Deprecated.
 175
 176         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 177         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 178         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
 179         register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,
 180         dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 181         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 182         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 183         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.

 189         functionality.
 190
 191         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 192         needed to trick export.
 193
 194 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 195
 196         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

 203
 204 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 207         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 208         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 209
 210 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 213         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 214

 216
 217         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 232         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 233
 234         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 237
 238 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 239
 240         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 241         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 242
 243 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 244
 245         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 246         compile-psyntax.scm.
 247
 248 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 249
 250         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 251         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 252         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 253         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 254         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 255
 256 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 257
 258         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 259         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 260         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 261
 262 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 263
 264         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 265         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 266
 267 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 268
 269         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 270         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 271         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 272         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 273
 274         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 275         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 276         since there aren't definitions for them.
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 279         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 280
 281 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 282
 283         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 284         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 285
 286 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 289         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 290
 291 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 292
 293         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 294         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 295         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 296
 297 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 307
 308         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 309         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 310         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 311         New.
 312
 313 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 314
 315         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 316         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 317
 318 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 319
 320         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 321         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 322
 323         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 324         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by

 326

 328
 329         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.

 336
 337         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 338
 339 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 340
 341         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 342         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 343
 344 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 345
 346         * match.scm:
 347         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 348         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 349         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 350
 351         (slib:error): Delete.
 352         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 353
 354         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

 361         Update copyright.
 362
 363 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 364
 365         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 366         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 367         rdelim) module.  See below.
 368
 369 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 372         include-deprecated-features is true.
 373
 374 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 375
 376         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 377         unknown objects.
 378
 379         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 380         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 381         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 382
 383         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 384         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 385         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 386         Köppe!
 387
 388 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 389
 390         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 391         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 392         variable, not just a visible one.
 393         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 394         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 395         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 396         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 397         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 398         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 399         variables.
 400         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 401
 402         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 403         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 404
 405 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 406
 407         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 408         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 409
 410 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 411
 412         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.

 414 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 415
 416         Added exception notice to all files.
 417
 418         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 419         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 420         importing bindings once in a while.
 421
 422 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 423
 424         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 425         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 426         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 427         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 428         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 429         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 430         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 431         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 432         message.
 433         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 434         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 435
 436 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 437
 438         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and

 441         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 442         to access unbound variables.
 443
 444         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 445         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 446         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 447         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 448         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 449
 450 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 451
 452         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 453         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 454         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 455         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 456         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 457         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 458         argument for process-define-module.
 459         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 460         arguments for process-use-modules.
 461         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 462
 463 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 466         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.

 468         module.
 469
 470         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 471         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.

 488
 489         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 490         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when

 494
 495         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when

 502
 503         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.

 511
 512         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 513         set-current-module.
 514         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 515         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 516         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on

 518         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single

 521         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.

 526         cleanup; nfc.
 527         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 528         now accepts arg; update callers.
 529         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 530         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 531
 532         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 533         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 534         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 535         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 536         `search-documentation-files'.
 537         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 538         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 567         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 568
 569         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 570         the magical undefined value.
 571         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 572         the default default for bindings.
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 575         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 576         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 577         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 578         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 580         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 581         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 582         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 583         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 584         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 585         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 586         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 587         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 588         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 589         `set-current-module' call.
 590         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 591         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

 626         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 627         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 628         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 629         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 630         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 631         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 632         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 633         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

 821         buffered input procedure.  Does not assume that a newline

 871
 872         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 873         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 874         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 875         frame is invoked.
 876
 877 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 918
 919         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser

 928         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 929         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 930
 931 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 932
 933         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 934         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 935
 936         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 937         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 938
 939         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 940         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 941
 942 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 945         in C for now.
 946         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 947         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 948
 949 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 950
 951         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 952         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 953         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 954         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 955         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 956         for now.
 957         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 958         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 959
 960 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 961
 962         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 963         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 964         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 965         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 966         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 967         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 968         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 969

 974
 975 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 976
 977         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 978         any more.
 979
 980 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 981
 982         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 983         the-root-module.

 992         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 993         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 994         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 995         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

1001         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1002         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1003         make-shared-substring.
1004
1005 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1006
1007         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1008         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1009         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1010         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1011         scm-style-repl.
1012
1013 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1017
1018 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1019
1020         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1021         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1022         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1023         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1024         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1025         Pirotte for the bug report).
1026         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1027         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1029 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1030
1031         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

1039
1040         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not

1042         patch.

1050
1051         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1052         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1053         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1054
1055         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1056         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1057         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1058         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1059         actual documentation entries themselves.

1073
1074         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,

1088
1089         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1090         `symbol-append'.
1091         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1092         args.
1093         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1094         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1095         even worked...  /mdj.
1096         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1097         `symbol->string'.
1098         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1099         semantics.

1126         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1127         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1128         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1129         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1130         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

1143         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1144         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1145         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1146
1147         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

1151
1152         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1153
1154         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1155         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1156
1157 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1158
1159         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1160         definition of module-type.
1161
1162         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1163
1164         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1167         lines.
1168         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1169         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1170
1171 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1172
1173         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1174
1175 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1176
1177         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1178         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1179         Mikael for the suggestion.
1180
1181 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1182
1183         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1184         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1185
1186 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1187
1188         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1189         for export args.
1190
1191 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1192
1193         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1194
1195 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1196
1197         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1198         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1199         for the hint.
1200
1201         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1202         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1203         tail recursive yet.
1204
1205 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1206
1207         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1208         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1209
1210         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1211         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1212         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1213         See NEWS.
1214         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1215
1216         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1217
1218 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1219
1220         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1221         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1222
1223 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1224
1225         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1226         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1227
1228 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1229
1230         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1231         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1232
1233 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1234
1235         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1236
1237         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1238
1239         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1240
1241 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1242
1243         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1244         '() instead of #f.
1245         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1246         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1247         `the-root-module'.
1248         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1249
1250         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1251         documentation.scm.
1252
1253         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1254         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1255         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1256         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1257         (help): Rewritten.
1258
1259         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1260
1261         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1262
1263 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1264
1265         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1266         (write-all): Removed.
1267         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1268         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1269
1270 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1271
1272         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1273         `proc-documentation'
1274
1275         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1276         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1277         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1278         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1279         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1280         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1281         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1282         getter...)
1283
1284 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1285
1286         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1287
1288 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1291         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1292         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1293         closure.
1294
1295 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1296
1297         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1298         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1299         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1300         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1301         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1302         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1303         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1304
1305 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1308         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1309
1310 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1311
1312         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1313         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1314
1315 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1316
1317         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1318         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1319         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1320         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1321         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1322         delete-if! when iterating.
1323
1324 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1325
1326         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1327
1328 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1331
1332 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1333
1334         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1335         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1336         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1337         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1338
1339 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1340
1341         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1342         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1343
1344 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1345
1346         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1347         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1348         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1349         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1350
1351 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1352
1353         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1354         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1355
1356 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1357
1358         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1359         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1360
1361 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1362
1363         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1364         Dirk Hermann!
1365
1366 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1367
1368         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1369         source of the numerous very short changes.
1370
1371 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1372
1373         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1374         public.
1375
1376         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1377         info pages.
1378
1379 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1380
1381         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1382         from slib docs.
1383
1384 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1385
1386         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1387         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1388
1389 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1390
1391         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1392         to string-append.
1393
1394 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1395
1396         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1397         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1398         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1399
1400 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1401
1402         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1403         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1404         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1405         Narazaki for this change.
1406
1407 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1410         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1411         %S.
1412
1413         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1414         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1415
1416 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1417
1418         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1419         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1420
1421 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1422
1423         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1424         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1425         use define-public to export from the module.
1426
1427 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1428
1429         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1430         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1431         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1432
1433 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1434
1435         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1436
1437 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1438
1439         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1440         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1441
1442 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1443
1444         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1445
1446         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1447
1448         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1449
1450 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1451
1452         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1453         long_long uniform vectors.
1454
1455 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1456
1457         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1458         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1459
1460 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1461
1462         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1463         script to create generated files like this one.
1464
1465 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1466
1467         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1468         available before using getpw and getuid.
1469         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1470         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1471         check for stat.
1472         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1473         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1474         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1475         available.
1476         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1477         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1478         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1479
1480         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1481         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1482
1483         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1484
1485 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1486
1487         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1488         than 'exit-debugger.
1489
1490         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1491         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1492
1493         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1494
1495 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1496
1497         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1498         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1499         ("position"): New command.
1500         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1501         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1502         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
1503         to return a valid state.)
1504         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.

1506 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1507
1508         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1509         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1510         Badros.)
1511
1512 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1513
1514         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1515         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1516
1517 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1518
1519         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1520
1521         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1522
1523         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1524         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1525
1526         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1527         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1528         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1529         expression.
1530         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1531         Handle errors.
1532
1533 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1534
1535         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1536         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1537
1538         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1539
1540 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1541
1542         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1543         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1544         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1545         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1546
1547         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1548         argument.
1549
1550         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1551         both forward and backward views of the stack
1552         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1553         Use selector `frame-number';
1554         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1555         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1556         Use (ice-9 debug).
1557         Use readline conditionally.
1558
1559 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1560
1561         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1562         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1563         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1564
1565         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1566         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1567         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1568
1569 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1570
1571         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1574
1575         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1576
1577         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1578
1579 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1580
1581         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1582         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1583         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1584         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1585         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1586         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1587         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1588         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1589         libguile-config-stamp.
1590         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1591         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1592         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1593         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1594         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1595
1596 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1597
1598         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1599         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1600         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1601
1602         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1603         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1604         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1605         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1606         readline.
1607
1608         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1609
1610 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1611
1612         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1613
1614 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1615
1616         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1617         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1618
1619 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1620
1621         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1622         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1623         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1624         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1625         objects starting with '#/'.
1626
1627 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1628
1629         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1630         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1631         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1632         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1633         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1634         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1635         `observer-id'.
1636         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1637         module-modified): New procedures.
1638         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1639         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1640
1641 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1642
1643         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1644         defines.
1645
1646 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1647
1648         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1649         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1650         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1651
1652         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1653         position.
1654
1655 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1656
1657         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1658         at multiple calls to read.
1659         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1660         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1661         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1662         continued-lines prompt.
1663
1664         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1665         reading expressions.
1666
1667 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1668
1669         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1670         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1671
1672 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1673
1674         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1675         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1676         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1677
1678         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1679
1680         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1681         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1682
1683         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1684         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1685         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1686         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1687         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1688         instead of a port.
1689
1690 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1691
1692         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1693         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1694
1695         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1696
1697         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1698         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1699         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1700         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1701
1702         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1703
1704         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1705
1706         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1707         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1708         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1709         an alist.
1710
1711         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1712
1713         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1714         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1715         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1716         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1717         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1718         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1719         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1720         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1721         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1722         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1723         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1724
1725         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1726
1727         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1728         peeked from the stream.
1729         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1730         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1731         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1732
1733         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1734
1735         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1736         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1737
1738         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1741         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1742         exiting repl with single control-D.
1743
1744         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1747         error catching loop after quit received.
1748         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1749
1750         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1751         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1752         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1753
1754         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1755         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1756         boot-9.scm.
1757         * popen.scm: new file.
1758
1759 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1760
1761        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1762        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1763
1764 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1765
1766         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1767         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1768
1769 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1770
1771         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1772         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1773         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1774         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1775         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1776
1777 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1778
1779         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1780
1781         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1782         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1783
1784         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1785         Guile's module system.
1786
1787         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1788         changes:
1789         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1790         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1791         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1792         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1793         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1794         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1795         modern CL behavior.
1796         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1797         '() when the condition is false.
1798
1799 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1800
1801         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1802
1803 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1804
1805         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1806
1807 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1808
1809         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1810         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1811         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1812
1813 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1814
1815         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1816         argument order for hash-fold.
1817
1818 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1819
1820         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1821         resolve-module.
1822         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1823         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1824
1825         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1826         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1827         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1828         has been added to the load path).
1829
1830         Use try-load-module.
1831
1832 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1833
1834         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1835         module between system and user state.
1836
1837 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1838
1839         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1840
1841         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1842         definition.
1843
1844 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1845
1846         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1847         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1848         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1849
1850 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1851
1852         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1853         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1854         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1855         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1856         stack frame encountered.
1857
1858         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1859         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1860         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1861         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1862         list).]
1863
1864         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1865         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1866         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1867         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1868         please tell me!]
1869
1870         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1871         define-module switches:
1872
1873         (define-module (foo)
1874           :no-backtrace)
1875
1876         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1877         modules.
1878
1879         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1880         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1881         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1882         module it is a system frame.
1883
1884         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1885         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1886         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1887         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1888         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1889
1890         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1891         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1892         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1893         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1894         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1895         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1896
1897         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1898         status of a module.;
1899         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.

1916 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1917
1918         Fix from Russ McManus:
1919         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1920         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1921         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1922         either an optional or required value.
1923
1924 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1925
1926         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1927
1928         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1929         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1930
1931         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1932         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1933         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1934         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1939         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1940         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1941
1942 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1943
1944         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.

1947
1948 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1949
1950         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1951         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1952         for isn't loaded.
1953
1954 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1961         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1962         applied to the module itself.
1963
1964 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1965
1966         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1967
1968         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1969         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1970
1971 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1978
1979 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1980
1981         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1982         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1983
1984 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1985
1986         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1987         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1988         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1989         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1990         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1991         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1992         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1993
1994 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1997         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1998
1999 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2000
2001         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2002         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2003         static libraries.
2004
2005 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2006
2007         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2008
2009 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2012
2013 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2016         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2017         adapt to the new hooks.
2018
2019 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2020
2021         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2022         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2023         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2024         code.
2025         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2026         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2027
2028         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2029         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2030         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2031         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2032         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2033         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2034         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2035         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2036         first to register linked modules.
2037
2038         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2039         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2040         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2041
2042         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2043         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2044         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2045         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2048         to use from C:
2049         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2050         libguile/feature.c.
2051
2052         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2053         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2054         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2055
2056 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2057
2058         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2059         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2060         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2061
2062 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2063
2064         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2065         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2066         result of the last form.
2067
2068 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2069
2070         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2071         syncase.scm.
2072
2073         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2074
2075         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2076         readline-set!: New options interface.
2077
2078         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2079
2080 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2081
2082         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2083         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2084
2085 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2086
2087         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2088         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2089
2090 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2091
2092         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2093         interactive session.
2094         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2095
2096         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2097         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2098
2099 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2100
2101         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2102
2103 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2104
2105         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2106         read line was empty.
2107
2108 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2109
2110         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2111         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2112
2113         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2114
2115         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2116         problem.  Duh.
2117         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2118         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2119         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2120
2121         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2122         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2123         into...
2124         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2125         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2126         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2127
2128         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2129         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2130         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2131         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2132         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2133         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2134         psyntax.ss.
2135         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2136
2137         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2138         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2139
2140 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2141
2142         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2143         and short vectors #h(...).
2144
2145 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2146
2147         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2148         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2149         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2150
2151 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2152
2153         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2154         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2155         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2156
2157 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2158
2159         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2160         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2161
2162         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2163         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2164         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2165         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2166
2167 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2168
2169         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2170         trace flag.
2171
2172         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2173         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2174         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2175         context with traps enabled.
2176
2177 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2178
2179         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2180         module.
2181         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2182
2183 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2184
2185         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2186         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2187         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2188         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2189         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2190
2191 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2192
2193         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2194         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2195
2196 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2197
2198         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2199
2200 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2201

2203
2204 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2205
2206         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.

2210         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2211         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2212
2213 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2214
2215         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2216         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2217         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2218         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2219         Archibald.)
2220
2221         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2222         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2223         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2224
2225 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2228         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2229         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2230         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2231         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2232         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2233         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2234
2235 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2236
2237         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2238
2239 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2240
2241         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2242         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2243         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2244         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2245         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2246         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2247
2248 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2249
2250         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2251         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2252         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2253         Steven G. Johnson.)
2254
2255 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2256
2257         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2258
2259 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2260
2261         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2262
2263 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2264
2265         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2266         be completed.
2267
2268 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2269
2270         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2271
2272 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2275         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2276
2277 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2280         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2281         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2282         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2283         transformer.
2284         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2285         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2286
2287 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2288
2289         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2290
2291 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2292
2293         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2294         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2295         completion.
2296
2297         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2298         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2301         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2302         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2305
2306 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2307
2308         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2309
2310         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2311         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2312
2313 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2316
2317 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2318
2319         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2320         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2321
2322         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2323
2324         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2325         obsolete.
2326
2327 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2328
2329         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2330         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2331
2332 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2333
2334         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2335
2336 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2339         Stachowiak.)
2340
2341 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2342
2343         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2344         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2345         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2346         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2347         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2348         threads.
2349
2350 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2351
2352         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2353         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2354         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2355
2356 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2357
2358         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2359
2360         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2361         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2362
2363 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2366         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2367         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2368         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2369         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2370         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2371         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2372         to go here.
2373
2374 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2375
2376         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2377         is now a fluid.
2378
2379 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2380
2381         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2382         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2383         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2384         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2385         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2386         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2387
2388 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2389
2390         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2391         usefully so they will work from a script.
2392
2393 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2394
2395         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2396         neighborhood of the record code.
2397
2398 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2399
2400         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2401         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2402         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2403         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2404
2405 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2406
2407         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2408         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2409         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2410
2411 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2412
2413         Add support for readline function.
2414         * readline.scm: New module.
2415         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2416         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2417         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2418         anything.
2419         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2420         repl-reader to use them.
2421         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2422
2423         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2424
2425 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2426
2427         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2428         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2429
2430 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2431
2432         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2433         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2434         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2435
2436 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2437
2438         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2439         #f, abort terminates the process.
2440         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2441         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2442
2443 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2444
2445         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2446         print-state, throw it away.
2447
2448 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2449
2450         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2451         `0'.
2452
2453 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2454
2455         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2456         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2457         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2458         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2459         user field).
2460         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2461         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2462
2463 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2464
2465         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2466
2467 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2468
2469         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2470         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2471         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2472         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2473         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2474         boot-9.scm.
2475         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2476         distribution and installation.
2477         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2478
2479 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2480
2481         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2482
2483 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2484
2485         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2486         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2487         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2488
2489         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2490         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2491         symbol.
2492
2493 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2494
2495         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2498
2499 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2500
2501         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2502         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2503         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2504         field a separate argument.
2505
2506         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2507
2508 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2509
2510         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2513         vicinity;
2514         Provide defmacro.
2515
2516 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2517
2518         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2519
2520 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2521
2522         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2523         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2524         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2525         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2526         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2527         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2528         registered.
2529         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2530         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2531         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2532         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2533         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2534         link a .so-file.
2535
2536 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2537
2538         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2539
2540 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541
2542         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2543         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2544
2545 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2546
2547         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2548
2549         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2550         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2551         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2552         expansion inside the slib module.
2553
2554         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2555         constructors.

2560         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2561         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2562         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2563
2564         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2565         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2566         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2567         source.
2568         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2569         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2570         been loaded.

2579         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

2581         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2582         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2583         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

2586         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2587         module.

2591
2592         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2593
2594         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2595         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2596         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2597         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2598         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2605         the syncase interface.
2606
2607 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2608
2609         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2610         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2611         workings of the current module system).
2612
2613 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2614
2615         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2616         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2617         off!
2618
2619 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2624
2625 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2626
2627         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2628         according to the following priorities:
2629         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2630         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2631         3. tcl bindings
2632         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2633         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2634         (new-interpreter): New function.
2635
2636         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2637         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2638         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2639
2640 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

2647
2648 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2649
2650         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

2655
2656         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2657         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2658         source!
2659
2660 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2667         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2668         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2669         in stack-ref).
2670
2671         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2672         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2673         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2674         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2675         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2676         result protocol;

2678         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

2689
2690 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2691
2692         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2693         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2694         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2695
2696         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2697
2698         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2699         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2700         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2701
2702 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2703

2707 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2708

2710         cstime.
2711
2712 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2713
2714         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2715         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2716         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2717
2718         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2719         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2720         the top.
2721
2722         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2723         order to narrow it correctly.
2724         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2726 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2727
2728         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2729         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2730
2731 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2732
2733         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2734
2735 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2736
2737         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2738         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2739
2740 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2741
2742         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2743         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2744         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2745
2746 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2747
2748         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2749         automatically.
2750
2751 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2752
2753         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2754         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2755         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2756         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2757         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2758
2759 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2760
2761         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2762         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2763         a default of /.
2764
2765         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2766
2767 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2768
2769         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2770         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2771         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2774         make-regexp.
2775

2777
2778         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2779         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2780         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2781         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2782         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2783         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2784
2785         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2786         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2787         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2788         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2789
2790 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2791
2792         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2793         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2794         sending in bug reports.
2795         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2796         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2797         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2798         display a warning if the two are different.
2799         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2800         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2801         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2802
2803 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2804
2805         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2806
2807 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2808
2809         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2810         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2811
2812         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2813         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2814         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2815         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2816         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2817         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2818         that's okay.
2819
2820         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2821         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2822         regexp interface.
2823
2824         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2825         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2826
2827         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2828         function names.
2829
2830         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2831         fixes.
2832
2833 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2834
2835         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2836         ../configure.in.
2837
2838 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2839
2840         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2841         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2842
2843 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2844
2845         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2846         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2847         to support printing of structures.
2848         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2849         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2850         commented out printing code.
2851         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2852         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2853
2854 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2855
2856         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2857
2858 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2859
2860         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2861         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2862         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2863         during call to scm-style-repl.
2864
2865 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2866
2867         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2868         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2869         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2870         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2871         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2872
2873 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2874
2875         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2876         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2877         (ice-9 regex).
2878
2879 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2880
2881         * regex.scm: New file.
2882         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2883         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2884
2885 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2886

2893
2894         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2895         in 1997.
2896
2897 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2898
2899         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2900         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2901         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2902
2903 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2904
2905         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2906         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2907         here.
2908
2909 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2910
2911         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2912
2913 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2914
2915         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2916
2917 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2918
2919         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2920         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2921         fixes this too.
2922
2923 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2924
2925         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2926         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2927         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2928
2929 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2930
2931         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2932         the Scheme code like code yet.
2933         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2934
2935 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2936
2937         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2938         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2939         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2940
2941 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2942
2943         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2944         use-modules macro
2945         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2946         can't be found.
2947
2948 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2949
2950         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2951
2952 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2953
2954         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2955
2956         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2957         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2958         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2959
2960 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2961
2962         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2963         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2964         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2965
2966         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2967         no plugins.
2968         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2969         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2970
2971 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2972
2973         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2974         functions.
2975
2976 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2977
2978         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2979
2980 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2981
2982         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2983         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2984
2985 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2986
2987         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2988         instead of in libguile.
2989         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2990         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2991
2992 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2993
2994         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2995         procedures.
2996         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2997         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2998
2999 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3000
3001         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3002         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3003
3004 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3007         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3008         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3009         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3010
3011 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3012
3013         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3014         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3015
3016 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3017
3018         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3019
3020 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3021
3022         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3023         keywords and symbols.
3024
3025 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3026
3027         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3028
3029         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3030         Don't define read-sharp.
3031
3032         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3033         (read-sharp): removed.
3034         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3035         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3036
3037 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3038
3039         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3040
3041         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3042         primitive procedure.)
3043
3044         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3045         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3046
3047 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3048
3049         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3050
3051 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3052
3053         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3054
3055 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3056
3057         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3058         read gets EOF.
3059         * (exit): alias for quit.
3060
3061 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3062
3063         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3064         return the quit args.
3065         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3066         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3067         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3068
3069         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3070
3071 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3072
3073         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3074
3075         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3076         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3077
3078         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3079         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3080
3081         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3082         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3083         of handlers.
3084
3085 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3086
3087         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3088
3089         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3090         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3091         Change hooks to use these functions.
3092
3093         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3094         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3095         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3096         the source! :-)
3097         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3098         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3099         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3100         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3101         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3102         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3103         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3104         traced.
3105
3106         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3107         and exit-frame exceptions.
3108
3109         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3110         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3111         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3112         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3113         result; otherwise display "> ".
3114         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3115
3116         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3117         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3118         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3119         repository version runnable.
3120
3121 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3122
3123         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3124         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3125         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3126         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3127         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3128         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3129
3130 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3131
3132         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3133         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3134         and eval.
3135         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3136         "defined?".
3137         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3138         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3139
3140 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3141
3142         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3143
3144 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3145
3146         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3147         %read-sharp layer.
3148
3149 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3150
3151         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3152         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3153
3154 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3155
3156         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3157         backtrace.c.)
3158
3159 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3160
3161         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3162         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3163
3164 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3165
3166         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3167
3168         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3169         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3170         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3171         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3172         dynamic linking of modules.
3173         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3174         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3175
3176 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3177
3178         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3179
3180 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3181
3182         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3183         that's what it is.
3184
3185         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3186         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3187         was false.
3188
3189 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3190
3191         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3192         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3193         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3194
3195 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3196
3197         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3198         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3199         yet.
3200
3201 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3202
3203         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3204         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3205         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3206
3207 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3208
3209         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3210         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3211         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3212         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3213
3214         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3215         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3216         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3217         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3218         (such as the-scm-module).
3219
3220 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3221
3222         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3223         %search-load-path.
3224
3225 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3226
3227         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3228         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3229         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3230
3231 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3232
3233         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3234         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3235         function, use it accordingly.
3236
3237 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3238
3239         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3240         function of no arguments.
3241         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3242         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3243         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3244         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3245         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3246         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3247         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3248         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3249
3250 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3251
3252         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3253         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3254
3255 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3256
3257         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3258         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3259         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3260         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3261         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3262
3263         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3264         `*features*'.
3265
3266         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3267         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3268         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3269         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3270
3271         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3272
3273         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3274
3275         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3276         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3277         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3278
3279         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3280         error.
3281
3282         Added `before-read-hook'.
3283
3284         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3285
3286         (provide): New function.
3287
3288         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3289         in backtraces.
3290
3291         (backtrace): New function.
3292
3293         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3294         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3295         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3296         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3297         is found in operator position in a frame.
3298
3299         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3300         by default.
3301
3302         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3303         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3304         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3305
3306         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3307
3308         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3309
3310         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3311
3312         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3313
3314 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3315
3316         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3317
3318         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3319         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3320
3321         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3322         so they'll get distributed.
3323
3324         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3325         should see as little clutter as possible.
3326         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3327         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3328         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3329
3330         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3331         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3332         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3333         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3334         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3335         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3336         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3337         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3338         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3339         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3340         that are not.
3341         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3342         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3343
3344         * test.scm: New file.
3345
3346         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3347         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3348         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3349
3350         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3351         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3352
3353         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3354         work now.
3355         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3356         call %load-announce.
3357
3358 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3359
3360         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3361         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3362         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3363         components.
3364         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3365
3366 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3367
3368         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3369         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3370         SCSH (which this isn't).
3371
3372 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3373
3374         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3375
3376 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3377
3378         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3379         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3380         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3381         these.
3382         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3383         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3384         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3385         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3386         save-stack.
3387
3388 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3389
3390         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3391
3392         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3393
3394         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3395         error-catching-loop.
3396         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3397         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3398         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3399
3400         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3401         error-catching-loop.
3402
3403 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3404
3405         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3406         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3407         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3408         should be '(), not #f.
3409
3410         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3411         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3412
3413 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3414
3415         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3416         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3417         error-signal.
3418
3419 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3420
3421         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3422         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3423         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3424         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3425
3426 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3427
3428         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3429
3430 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3431
3432         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3433
3434         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3435         throw-handler-default.
3436         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3437         reported.
3438         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3439         acro.
3440         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3441         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3442
3443 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3444
3445         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3446         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3447         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3448         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3449
3450 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3451
3452         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3453         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3454         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3455         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3456         ...))
3457         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3458         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3459         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3460         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3461         file-is-directory?
3462
3463 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3464
3465         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3466
3467         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3468         distribution.
3469
3470         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3471         `switch-repl'.
3472
3473         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3474
3475 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3476
3477         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3478         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3479
3480 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3481
3482         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3483
3484         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3485
3486 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3487
3488         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3489         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3490         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3491         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3492         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3493
3494         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3495         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3496         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3497         they seem redundant.
3498         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3499         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3500         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3501         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3502         directly files starting with "/").
3503         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3504         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3505
3506         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3507
3508 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3509
3510         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3511         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3512         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3513         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3514         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3515         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3516         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3517         robust to just do it in the C code.
3518
3519 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3520
3521         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3522         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3523         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3524         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3525         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3526
3527 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3528
3529         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3530         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3531         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3532
3533 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3534
3535         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3536         system-error, not every kind of error.
3537         (scm-error): new procedure.
3538
3539 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3542
3543 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3544
3545         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3546         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3547         of args are supplied.
3548         (%%system-errors): removed.
3549         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3550         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3551         %%handle-system-error.
3552         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3553         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3554         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3555         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3556
3557 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3558
3559         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3560         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3561         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3562         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3563
3564 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3565
3566         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3567         the empty list if they are #f.
3568         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3569
3570 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3571
3572         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3573
3574         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3575         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3576         aborting, just the key and subr.
3577         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3578         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3579         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

3583         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3584         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3585         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3586         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3587         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3620         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

3623         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3624         for these.

3663         (manifest): Deleted.
3664         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
