 323
 324         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to

 333         in C for now.
 334         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 335         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 336
 337 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 338
 339         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 340         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!

 347
 348 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 349
 350         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 351         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 352         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 353         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 354         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 355         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 356         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

 364

 366         any more.
 367
 368 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 369

 394
 395         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 396         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 397         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 398         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 399         scm-style-repl.

 401 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 402
 403         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 404         and open-output-pipe.
 405
 406 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 407
 408         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 409         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 410         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 411         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 412         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 413         Pirotte for the bug report).
 414         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 415         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

 418
 419         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

 426 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 427
 428         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not

 437 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 438
 439         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 440         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 441         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 442
 443         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 444         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 445         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 446         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 447         actual documentation entries themselves.

 465         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 466
 467         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 468
 469         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 476
 477         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 478         `symbol-append'.
 479         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 480         args.
 481         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 482         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 483         even worked...  /mdj.
 484         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 485         `symbol->string'.
 486         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 487         semantics.
 488
 489 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 513
 514         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 515         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 516         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 517         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 518         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 519
 520         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 521
 522 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 523
 524         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 525         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 526
 527         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 528         syntactic bindings.
 529
 530         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 531         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 532         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 533         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 534
 535         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 536

 538         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 539
 540         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 541
 542         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 543         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 544
 545 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 546
 547         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 548         definition of module-type.
 549
 550         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 551
 552         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 553
 554         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 555         lines.

 557         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 558
 559 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 563 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 566         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 567         Mikael for the suggestion.
 568
 569 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 570
 571         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 572         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 573
 574 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 575
 576         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 577         for export args.
 578
 579 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 580
 581         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 582
 583 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 584
 585         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 586         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 587         for the hint.
 588
 589         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 590         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 591         tail recursive yet.
 592
 593 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 594
 595         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 596         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 597
 598         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 599         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 600         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 601         See NEWS.
 602         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

 610
 611 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 612
 613         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 614         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 615
 616 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 617
 618         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 619         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 620
 621 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 622
 623         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 624
 625         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 626
 627         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 628
 629 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 632         '() instead of #f.
 633         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 634         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 635         `the-root-module'.
 636         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 637
 638         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 639         documentation.scm.
 640
 641         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 642         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 643         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 644         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 645         (help): Rewritten.
 646
 647         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 648
 649         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 650
 651 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 652
 653         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 654         (write-all): Removed.

 656         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 657
 658 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 659
 660         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 661         `proc-documentation'
 662
 663         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 664         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 665         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 666         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 667         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 668         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 669         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 670         getter...)
 671
 672 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 673
 674         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

 677
 678         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 679         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 680         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 681         closure.
 682
 683 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 684
 685         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 686         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 687         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 688         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 689         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 690         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 691         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 692
 693 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 694
 695         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 696         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 697
 698 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 699
 700         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 701         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 702
 703 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 704
 705         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 706         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 707         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 708         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 709         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 710         delete-if! when iterating.
 711
 712 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 713
 714         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 715
 716 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 717
 718         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 719
 720 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 721
 722         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 723         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 724         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 725         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 726
 727 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 728
 729         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 730         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 731
 732 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 733
 734         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 735         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 736         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 737         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 738
 739 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 740
 741         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 742         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 743
 744 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 745
 746         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed

 748
 749 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 750

 755
 756         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 757         source of the numerous very short changes.

 764         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 765         info pages.
 766
 767 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 768
 769         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 770         from slib docs.
 771
 772 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 773
 774         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 775         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 776
 777 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 778
 779         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 780         to string-append.
 781
 782 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 783
 784         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 785         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 786         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 787
 788 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 789
 790         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 791         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 792         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 793         Narazaki for this change.
 794
 795 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 796
 797         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 798         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 799         %S.
 800
 801         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 802         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 803
 804 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 807         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 808
 809 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 810
 811         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 812         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 813         use define-public to export from the module.
 814
 815 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 816
 817         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 818         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 819         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 820
 821 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 822
 823         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 824
 825 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 826
 827         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 828         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 829
 830 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 831
 832         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 833
 834         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 835
 836         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 837
 838 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 839
 840         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 841         long_long uniform vectors.
 842
 843 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 844
 845         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 846         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 847
 848 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 849
 850         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 851         script to create generated files like this one.
 852
 853 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 854
 855         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 856         available before using getpw and getuid.
 857         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 858         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 859         check for stat.
 860         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 861         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 862         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 863         available.
 864         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 865         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 866         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 867
 868         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 869         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 870
 871         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 872
 873 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 874
 875         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 876         than 'exit-debugger.
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 879         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 880
 881         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 882

 884
 885         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";

 893
 894 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 895
 896         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 897         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 898         Badros.)
 899
 900 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 901
 902         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 903         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 904
 905 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 906
 907         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 919         Handle errors.
 920
 921 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 922
 923         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 924         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 925
 926         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 927
 928 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 929
 930         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 931         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 932         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 933         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 934
 935         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 936         argument.
 937
 938         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 939         both forward and backward views of the stack
 940         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 941         Use selector `frame-number';
 942         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 943         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 944         Use (ice-9 debug).

 946
 947 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 948
 949         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 950         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 951         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 952
 953         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 954         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 955         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 956
 957 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 958
 959         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 960
 961         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 962
 963         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 964
 965         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 966
 967 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 968
 969         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 970         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 971         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 972         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 973         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 974         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 975         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 976         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 977         libguile-config-stamp.
 978         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 979         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 980         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 981         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 982         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 983
 984 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 985
 986         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 987         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 988         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 989
 990         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 991         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 992         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 993         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 994         readline.
 995
 996         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 997
 998 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 999
1000         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1001
1002 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1003
1004         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1005         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1006
1007 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1008
1009         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1010         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1011         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1012         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1013         objects starting with '#/'.
1014
1015 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1016
1017         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1018         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1019         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1020         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1021         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1022         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1023         `observer-id'.
1024         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1025         module-modified): New procedures.
1026         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1027         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1028
1029 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1030
1031         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1032         defines.
1033
1034 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1035
1036         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1037         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1038         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1041         position.
1042
1043 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1044
1045         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1046         at multiple calls to read.
1047         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1048         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1049         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1050         continued-lines prompt.
1051
1052         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1053         reading expressions.
1054
1055 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1056
1057         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1058         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1059
1060 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1061
1062         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1063         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1064         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1065
1066         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1067
1068         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1069         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1070
1071         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1072         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1073         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1074         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1075         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1076         instead of a port.
1077
1078 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1079
1080         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1081         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1082
1083         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1084
1085         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1086         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1087         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1088         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1089
1090         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1091
1092         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1093
1094         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1095         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1096         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1097         an alist.
1098
1099         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1100
1101         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1102         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1103         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1104         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1105         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1106         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1107         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1108         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1109         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1110         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1111         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1112
1113         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1114
1115         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1116         peeked from the stream.
1117         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1118         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1119         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1120
1121         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1122
1123         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1124         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1125
1126         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

1128         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1129         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1130         exiting repl with single control-D.
1131
1132         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1135         error catching loop after quit received.
1136         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1137
1138         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1139         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1140         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1143         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1144         boot-9.scm.
1145         * popen.scm: new file.
1146
1147 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1148
1149        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1150        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1151
1152 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1153
1154         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1155         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1156
1157 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1158
1159         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1160         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1161         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1162         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1163         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1164
1165 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1166
1167         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1168
1169         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1170         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1171
1172         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1173         Guile's module system.
1174
1175         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1176         changes:
1177         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1178         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1179         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1180         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1181         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1182         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1183         modern CL behavior.
1184         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1185         '() when the condition is false.
1186
1187 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1188
1189         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1190
1191 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1194
1195 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1196
1197         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1198         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1199         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1200
1201 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1202
1203         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1204         argument order for hash-fold.
1205
1206 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1207
1208         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1209         resolve-module.
1210         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1211         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1212
1213         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1214         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1215         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1216         has been added to the load path).
1217
1218         Use try-load-module.
1219
1220 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221
1222         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1223         module between system and user state.
1224
1225 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1226
1227         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1228
1229         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1230         definition.
1231
1232 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1233
1234         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1235         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1236         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1237
1238 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1239
1240         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1241         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1242         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1243         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1244         stack frame encountered.
1245
1246         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1247         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1248         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1249         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1250         list).]
1251
1252         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1253         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1254         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1255         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1256         please tell me!]
1257
1258         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1259         define-module switches:
1260
1261         (define-module (foo)
1262           :no-backtrace)
1263
1264         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1265         modules.
1266
1267         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1268         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1269         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1270         module it is a system frame.
1271
1272         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1273         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1274         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1275         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1276         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1277
1278         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1279         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1280         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1281         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1282         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1283         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1284
1285         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1286         status of a module.;
1287         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1288         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1289
1290         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1291         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1292         closure to the module.
1293
1294         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1295
1296 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1297
1298         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1299
1300 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

1303
1304 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1305
1306         Fix from Russ McManus:
1307         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1308         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1309         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1310         either an optional or required value.
1311
1312 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1313
1314         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1315
1316         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1317         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1318
1319         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1320         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1321         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1322         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1323
1324 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1325
1326         * optargs.scm: New file.
1327         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1328         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1329
1330 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1331
1332         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1333         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1334         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1335
1336 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1337
1338         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1339         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1340         for isn't loaded.
1341
1342 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1343
1344         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1345
1346 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1349         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1350         applied to the module itself.
1351
1352 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1353
1354         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1355
1356         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1357         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1358
1359 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1366
1367 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1368
1369         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1370         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1371
1372 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1373
1374         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1375         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1376         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1377         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1378         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1379         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1380         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1381
1382 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1383
1384         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1385         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1386
1387 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1388
1389         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1390         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1391         static libraries.
1392
1393 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1394
1395         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1396
1397 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1398
1399         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1400
1401 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1404         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1405         adapt to the new hooks.
1406
1407 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1410         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1411         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1412         code.
1413         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1414         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1415
1416         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1417         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1418         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1419         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1420         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1421         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1422         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1423         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1424         first to register linked modules.
1425
1426         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1427         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1428         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1431         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1432         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1433         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1434
1435         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1436         to use from C:
1437         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1438         libguile/feature.c.
1439
1440         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1441         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1442         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1443
1444 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1445
1446         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1447         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1448         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1449
1450 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1451
1452         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1453         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1454         result of the last form.
1455
1456 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1457
1458         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1459         syncase.scm.
1460
1461         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1462
1463         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1464         readline-set!: New options interface.
1465
1466         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1467
1468 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1469
1470         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1471         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1472
1473 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1474
1475         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1476         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1477
1478 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1479
1480         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1481         interactive session.
1482         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1483
1484         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write

1488
1489         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1490
1491 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1492
1493         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1494         read line was empty.
1495
1496 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1497
1498         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1499         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1500
1501         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1502
1503         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1504         problem.  Duh.
1505         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1506         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1507         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1508
1509         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1510         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1511         into...
1512         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1513         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1514         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1515
1516         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1517         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1518         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1519         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1520         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1521         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1522         psyntax.ss.
1523         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1524
1525         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1526         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1527
1528 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1529
1530         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1531         and short vectors #h(...).
1532
1533 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1534
1535         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1536         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1537         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1538
1539 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1540
1541         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1542         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1543         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1544
1545 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1548         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1549
1550         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1551         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1552         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1553         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1554
1555 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1556
1557         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1558         trace flag.
1559
1560         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1561         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1562         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1563         context with traps enabled.
1564
1565 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1566
1567         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1568         module.
1569         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1570
1571 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1572
1573         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1574         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1575         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1576         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1577         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1578
1579 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1580
1581         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1582         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1583
1584 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1585
1586         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1587
1588 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1589
1590         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1591
1592 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1593
1594         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1595
1596 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1597
1598         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1599         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1600
1601 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1602
1603         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1604         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1605         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1606         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1607         Archibald.)
1608
1609         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1610         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1611         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1612
1613 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1614
1615         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1616         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1617         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1618         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1619         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1620         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1621         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1622
1623 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1624
1625         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1626
1627 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1628
1629         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1630         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1631         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1632         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1633         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1634         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1635
1636 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1639         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1640         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1641         Steven G. Johnson.)
1642
1643 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1644
1645         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1646
1647 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1650
1651 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1652
1653         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1654         be completed.
1655
1656 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1657
1658         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1659
1660 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1661
1662         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1663         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1664
1665 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1666
1667         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1668         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1669         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1670         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1671         transformer.
1672         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1673         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1674
1675 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1676
1677         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1678
1679 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1680
1681         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1682         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1683         completion.
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1686         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1687
1688         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1689         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1690         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1691
1692         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1693
1694 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1697
1698         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1699         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1700
1701 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1702
1703         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1704
1705 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1706
1707         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1708         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1709
1710         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1711
1712         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1713         obsolete.
1714
1715 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1716
1717         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1718         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1719
1720 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1721
1722         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1723
1724 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1725
1726         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1727         Stachowiak.)
1728
1729 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1730
1731         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1732         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1733         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1734         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1735         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1736         threads.
1737
1738 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1739
1740         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1741         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1742         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1743
1744 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1745
1746         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1747
1748         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1749         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1750
1751 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1754         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1755         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1756         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1757         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1758         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1759         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1760         to go here.
1761
1762 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1763
1764         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1765         is now a fluid.
1766
1767 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1768
1769         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1770         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1771         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1772         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1773         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1774         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1775
1776 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1777
1778         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1779         usefully so they will work from a script.
1780
1781 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1784         neighborhood of the record code.
1785
1786 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1787
1788         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1789         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1790         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1791         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1792
1793 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1794
1795         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1796         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1797         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1798
1799 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1800
1801         Add support for readline function.
1802         * readline.scm: New module.
1803         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1804         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1805         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1806         anything.
1807         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1808         repl-reader to use them.
1809         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1810
1811         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1812
1813 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1814
1815         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1816         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1817
1818 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1819
1820         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1821         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1822         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1823
1824 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1825
1826         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1827         #f, abort terminates the process.
1828         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1829         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1830
1831 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1832
1833         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1834         print-state, throw it away.
1835
1836 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>

1838         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1839         `0'.
1840
1841 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1842
1843         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1844         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1845         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1846         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1847         user field).
1848         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1849         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1850

1852
1853         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1854
1855 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1856
1857         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1858         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1859         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1860         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1861         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1862         boot-9.scm.
1863         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1864         distribution and installation.
1865         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1866

1870
1871 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1872
1873         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1874         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1875         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1876
1877         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1878         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1879         symbol.
1880
1881 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1882
1883         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1884

1890         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1891         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1892         field a separate argument.
1893
1894         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1895

1897
1898         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1901         vicinity;
1902         Provide defmacro.

1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1911         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1912         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1913         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1914         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1915         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1916         registered.
1917         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1918         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1919         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1920         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1921         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1922         link a .so-file.

1934
1935         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1936
1937         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1938         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1939         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1940         expansion inside the slib module.
1941
1942         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1943         constructors.

1950         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1951
1952         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1953         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1954         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1955         source.
1956         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1957         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1958         been loaded.
1959
1960 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1970         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1971         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1972         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1973         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1974         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1975         module.
1976         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1977
1978 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1979
1980         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1981
1982         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1983         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1984         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1985         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1986         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1987
1988         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1989         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1990         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1991         syncase macros.
1992         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1993         the syncase interface.
1994
1995 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1996
1997         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1998         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1999         workings of the current module system).
2000
2001 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2002
2003         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2014
2015         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2016         according to the following priorities:
2017         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2018         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2019         3. tcl bindings
2020         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2021         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2022         (new-interpreter): New function.
2023
2024         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2025         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2026         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2043
2044         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2045         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2046         source!
2047
2048 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2056         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2057         in stack-ref).
2058
2059         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2060         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2061         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2062         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2063         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2064         result protocol;

2079
2080         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2081         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2082         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2083
2084         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2085
2086         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2087         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

2101
2102         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2103         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2104         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2105
2106         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2107         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2108         the top.
2109
2110         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2111         order to narrow it correctly.

2120
2121         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2122

2124
2125         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the

2128 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2129
2130         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2131         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2132         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2133

2162         make-regexp.
2163

2165
2166         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2167         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2168         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2169         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2170         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2171         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2172
2173         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2174         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2175         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted

2180         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2181         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2182         sending in bug reports.
2183         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2184         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2185         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2186         display a warning if the two are different.
2187         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2188         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2189         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2192
2193         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2194
2195 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2196
2197         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2198         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2199
2200         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2201         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2202         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2203         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2204         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2205         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2206         that's okay.
2207
2208         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2209         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2210         regexp interface.
2211
2212         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2213         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2214
2215         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2216         function names.
2217
2218         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2219         fixes.
2220
2221 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2222
2223         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2224         ../configure.in.
2225
2226 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2229         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2230
2231 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2232
2233         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2234         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2235         to support printing of structures.
2236         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2237         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2238         commented out printing code.
2239         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2240         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2241
2242 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2243
2244         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2245
2246 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2247
2248         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2249         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2250         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2251         during call to scm-style-repl.
2252
2253 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2254
2255         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2256         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2257         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2258         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2259         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2260
2261 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2262
2263         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2264         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2265         (ice-9 regex).
2266
2267 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2268
2269         * regex.scm: New file.
2270         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2271         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2272
2273 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2274
2275         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2276         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2277         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2278         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2279
2280 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2281
2282         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2283         in 1997.
2284
2285 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2286
2287         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2288         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2289         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2290
2291 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2294         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2295         here.
2296
2297 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2298
2299         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2300
2301 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2302
2303         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2304
2305 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2308         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2309         fixes this too.
2310
2311 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2312
2313         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2314         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2315         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2316
2317 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2318
2319         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2320         the Scheme code like code yet.
2321         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2322
2323 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2324
2325         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2326         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2327         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2328
2329 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2330
2331         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2332         use-modules macro
2333         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2334         can't be found.
2335
2336 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2339
2340 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2341
2342         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2343
2344         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2345         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2346         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2347
2348 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2349
2350         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2351         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2352         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2353
2354         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2355         no plugins.
2356         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2357         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2358
2359 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2360
2361         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2362         functions.
2363
2364 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2367
2368 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2369
2370         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2371         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2372
2373 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2374
2375         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2376         instead of in libguile.
2377         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2378         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2379
2380 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2381
2382         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2383         procedures.
2384         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2385         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2386
2387 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2388
2389         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2390         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2391
2392 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2393
2394         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2395         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2396         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2397         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2398
2399 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2400
2401         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2402         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2403
2404 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2407
2408 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2411         keywords and symbols.
2412
2413 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2414
2415         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2416
2417         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2418         Don't define read-sharp.
2419
2420         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2421         (read-sharp): removed.
2422         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2423         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2424
2425 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2426
2427         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2428
2429         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2430         primitive procedure.)
2431
2432         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2433         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2434
2435 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2436
2437         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2438
2439 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2440
2441         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2442
2443 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2444
2445         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2446         read gets EOF.
2447         * (exit): alias for quit.
2448
2449 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2450
2451         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2452         return the quit args.
2453         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2454         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2455         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2456
2457         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2458
2459 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2460
2461         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2462
2463         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2464         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2467         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2468
2469         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2470         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2471         of handlers.
2472
2473 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2474
2475         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2476
2477         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2478         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2479         Change hooks to use these functions.
2480
2481         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2482         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2483         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2484         the source! :-)
2485         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2486         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2487         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2488         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2489         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2490         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2491         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2492         traced.
2493
2494         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2495         and exit-frame exceptions.
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2498         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2499         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2500         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2501         result; otherwise display "> ".
2502         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2503
2504         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2505         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2506         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2507         repository version runnable.
2508
2509 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2512         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2513         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2514         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2515         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2516         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2517
2518 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2519
2520         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2521         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2522         and eval.
2523         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2524         "defined?".
2525         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2526         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2527
2528 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2529
2530         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2531
2532 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2533
2534         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2535         %read-sharp layer.
2536
2537 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2538
2539         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2540         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2541
2542 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2543
2544         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2545         backtrace.c.)
2546
2547 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2548
2549         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2550         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2551
2552 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2553
2554         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2555
2556         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2557         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2558         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2559         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2560         dynamic linking of modules.
2561         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2562         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2563
2564 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2567
2568 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2569
2570         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2571         that's what it is.
2572
2573         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2574         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2575         was false.
2576
2577 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2578
2579         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2580         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2581         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2582
2583 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2584
2585         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2586         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2587         yet.
2588
2589 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2590
2591         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2592         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2593         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2594
2595 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2596
2597         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2598         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2599         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2600         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2601
2602         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2603         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2604         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2605         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2606         (such as the-scm-module).
2607
2608 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2609
2610         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2611         %search-load-path.
2612
2613 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2614
2615         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2616         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2617         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2618
2619 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2620
2621         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2622         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2623         function, use it accordingly.
2624
2625 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2626
2627         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2628         function of no arguments.
2629         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2630         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2631         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2632         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2633         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2634         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2635         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2636         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2637
2638 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2639
2640         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2641         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2642
2643 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2644
2645         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2646         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2647         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2648         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2649         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2650
2651         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2652         `*features*'.
2653
2654         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2655         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2656         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2657         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2658
2659         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2660
2661         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2662
2663         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2664         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2665         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2666
2667         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2668         error.
2669
2670         Added `before-read-hook'.
2671
2672         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2673
2674         (provide): New function.
2675
2676         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2677         in backtraces.
2678
2679         (backtrace): New function.
2680
2681         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2682         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2683         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2684         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2685         is found in operator position in a frame.
2686
2687         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2688         by default.
2689
2690         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2691         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2692         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2693
2694         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2695
2696         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2697
2698         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2699
2700         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2701
2702 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2705
2706         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2707         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2708
2709         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2710         so they'll get distributed.
2711
2712         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2713         should see as little clutter as possible.
2714         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2715         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2716         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2717
2718         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2719         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2720         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2721         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2722         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2723         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2724         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2725         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2726         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2727         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2728         that are not.
2729         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2730         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2731
2732         * test.scm: New file.
2733
2734         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2735         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2736         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2737
2738         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2739         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2740
2741         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2742         work now.
2743         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2744         call %load-announce.
2745
2746 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2747
2748         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2749         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2750         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2751         components.
2752         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2753
2754 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2755
2756         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2757         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2758         SCSH (which this isn't).
2759
2760 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2761
2762         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2763
2764 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2765
2766         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2767         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2768         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2769         these.
2770         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2771         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2772         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2773         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2774         save-stack.
2775
2776 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2777
2778         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2779
2780         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2781
2782         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2783         error-catching-loop.
2784         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2785         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2786         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2787
2788         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2789         error-catching-loop.
2790
2791 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2792
2793         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2794         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2795         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2796         should be '(), not #f.
2797
2798         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2799         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2800
2801 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2802
2803         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2804         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2805         error-signal.
2806
2807 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2808
2809         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2810         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2811         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2812         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2813
2814 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2815
2816         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2817
2818 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2819
2820         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2821
2822         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2823         throw-handler-default.
2824         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2825         reported.
2826         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2827         acro.
2828         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2829         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2830
2831 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2832
2833         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2834         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2835         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2836         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2837
2838 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2839
2840         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2841         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2842         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2843         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2844         ...))
2845         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2846         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2847         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2848         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2849         file-is-directory?
2850
2851 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2852
2853         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2854
2855         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2856         distribution.
2857
2858         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2859         `switch-repl'.
2860
2861         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2862
2863 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2864
2865         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2866         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2867
2868 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2869
2870         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2871
2872         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2873
2874 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2875
2876         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2877         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2878         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2879         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2880         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2881
2882         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2883         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2884         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2885         they seem redundant.
2886         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2887         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2888         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2889         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2890         directly files starting with "/").
2891         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2892         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2893
2894         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2895
2896 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2897
2898         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2899         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2900         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2901         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2902         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2903         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2904         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2905         robust to just do it in the C code.
2906
2907 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2908
2909         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2910         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2911         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2912         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2913         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2914
2915 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2916
2917         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2918         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2919         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2920
2921 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2922
2923         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2924         system-error, not every kind of error.
2925         (scm-error): new procedure.
2926
2927 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2928
2929         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2930
2931 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2932
2933         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2934         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2935         of args are supplied.
2936         (%%system-errors): removed.
2937         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2938         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2939         %%handle-system-error.
2940         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2941         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2942         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2943         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2944
2945 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2946
2947         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2948         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2949         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2950         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2951
2952 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2953
2954         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2955         the empty list if they are #f.
2956         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2957
2958 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2959
2960         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2961
2962         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2963         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2964         aborting, just the key and subr.
2965         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2966         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2967         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2968
2969 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2970
2971         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2972         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2973         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2974         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2975         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2976
2977 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2978
2979         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2980         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2981         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2982         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.

2984 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2985
2986         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2987         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2988         initialize %load-path.
2989
2990         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2991         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2992
2993 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2994
2995         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2996         Add the directory named after the version number.
2997         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2998         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2999         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3000         sitedatadir): New definitions.
3001         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

3007
3008         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3009         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3010         in the Makefile directly.
3011         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3012         for these.
3013         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3014         aux_files.
3015         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3016         here, where people expect to find them.

3021         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3022
3023         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.

3026
3027         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3028         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

3044         (%open-file): removed.
3045         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3046         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

3051         (manifest): Deleted.
3052         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3054
3055 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3056
3057         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3058         now that they throw errors directly.
3059         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3060         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
