93 2002-11-07 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

280 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
282 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
283 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
284 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.

288 2002-02-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@giblet.glug.org>

298 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
300 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
301 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
302 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
303 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
305 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
307 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
309 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
310 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is

338 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
339 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'

345 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
348 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
350 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
351 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
352 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
353 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
355 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
357 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

426 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

429 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
430 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
432 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
434 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
435 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.

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

460 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
462 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
463 handle :use-syntax correctly.

491 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
492 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
493 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
494 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
496 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
497 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
498 since there aren't definitions for them.
500 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
501 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
503 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

513 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
515 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
516 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
517 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
519 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
521 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.

537 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it

542 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
543 Don't reset trace-level to 0.

553 2001-06-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

559 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
561 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
563 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
564 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
566 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

588 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
589 rdelim) module. See below.
591 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
593 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
594 include-deprecated-features is true.
596 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
598 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
601 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
602 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
603 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
605 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
606 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
607 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
610 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
612 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
613 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
614 variable, not just a visible one.
615 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
616 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
617 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
618 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
619 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
620 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
622 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
624 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
625 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
627 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
629 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
630 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
632 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
634 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
636 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
638 Added exception notice to all files.
640 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
641 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
642 importing bindings once in a while.
644 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
646 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
647 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.

649 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
650 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,

652 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
653 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
655 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
656 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.

661 fix command so that it works.
663 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
664 to access unbound variables.
666 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
667 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
668 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
669 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
670 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
672 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
674 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
675 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
676 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
677 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
678 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
679 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
680 argument for process-define-module.
681 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
682 arguments for process-use-modules.

693 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
694 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.

734 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
736 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
737 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
738 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
739 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
740 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
741 element list when adding "." to it.

755 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.

758 `search-documentation-files'.
759 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'

761 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".

803 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the

806 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
807 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved

1175 read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1176 scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1177 * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1179 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1180 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
1182 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1184 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
1185 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
1186 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1187 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1188 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1189 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1190 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1192 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1194 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
1195 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1197 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1199 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
1202 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1204 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1207 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1209 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1211 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1213 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1214 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1215 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1216 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1217 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1218 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
1219 split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1220 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1221 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1222 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1223 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1224 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1225 make-shared-substring.
1227 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1229 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1230 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1231 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1232 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1235 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1237 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1238 and open-output-pipe.
1240 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1242 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1243 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1244 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1245 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1246 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1247 Pirotte for the bug report).
1248 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1249 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1251 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1253 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
1254 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1256 2000-10-15 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1258 * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
1260 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1262 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): regexp-exec does not
1263 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1266 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1268 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
1271 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1273 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1274 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1275 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1277 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1278 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1279 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1280 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1281 actual documentation entries themselves.
1283 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1285 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1287 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1289 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
1291 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1293 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1294 Convert first argument to a string.
1296 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1297 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1298 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1299 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1301 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1303 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1305 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1307 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1309 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1311 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1313 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1315 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1316 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1317 even worked... /mdj.
1318 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1320 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1323 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1325 * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1328 2000-08-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1330 * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1331 #:allow-other-keys. Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1333 2000-08-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1335 * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
1337 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1339 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
1341 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1343 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1346 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1348 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1349 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1350 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1351 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1352 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1354 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1356 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1358 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1359 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1361 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1364 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1365 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1366 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1367 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1369 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1371 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1372 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1374 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1376 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1377 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1379 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1381 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1382 definition of module-type.
1384 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1386 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1388 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1390 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1391 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1393 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1395 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1397 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1399 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1400 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1401 Mikael for the suggestion.
1403 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1405 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1406 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1408 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1410 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1413 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1415 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1417 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1419 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1420 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1423 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1424 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1427 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1429 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1430 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1432 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1433 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1434 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1436 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1438 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1440 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1442 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1443 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1445 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1447 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1448 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1450 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1452 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1453 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1455 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1457 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1459 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1461 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1463 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1465 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1467 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1468 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1470 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1472 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1475 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1476 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1477 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1478 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1481 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1483 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1485 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1487 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1488 (write-all): Removed.
1489 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1490 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1492 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1494 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1495 `proc-documentation'
1497 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1498 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1499 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1500 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1501 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1502 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1503 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1506 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1508 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1510 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1512 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1513 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1514 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1517 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1519 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1520 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1521 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1522 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1523 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1524 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1525 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1527 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1529 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1530 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1532 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1534 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1535 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1537 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1539 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1540 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1541 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1542 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1543 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1544 delete-if! when iterating.
1546 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1548 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1550 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1552 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1554 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1556 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1557 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1558 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1559 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1561 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1563 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1564 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1566 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1568 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1569 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1570 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1571 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1573 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1575 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1576 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1578 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1580 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1581 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1583 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1585 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1588 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1590 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1591 source of the numerous very short changes.
1593 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1595 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1598 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1601 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1603 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1606 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1609 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1611 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1613 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1616 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1618 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1619 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1620 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1622 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1624 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1625 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1626 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1627 Narazaki for this change.
1629 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1631 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1632 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1635 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1636 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1638 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1640 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1641 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1643 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1645 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1646 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1647 use define-public to export from the module.
1649 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1651 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1652 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1653 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1655 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1657 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1659 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1661 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1662 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1664 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1666 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1668 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1670 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1672 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1674 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1675 long_long uniform vectors.
1677 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1679 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1680 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1682 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1684 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1685 script to create generated files like this one.
1687 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1689 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1690 available before using getpw and getuid.
1691 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1692 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1694 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1695 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1696 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1698 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1699 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1700 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1702 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1703 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1705 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1707 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1709 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1710 than 'exit-debugger.
1712 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1713 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1715 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1717 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1719 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1720 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1721 ("position"): New command.
1722 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1723 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1724 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1725 to return a valid state.)
1726 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1728 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1730 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1731 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1734 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1736 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1737 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1739 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1741 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1743 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1745 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1746 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1748 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1749 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1750 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1752 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1755 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1757 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1758 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1760 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1762 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1764 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1765 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1766 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1767 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1769 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1772 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1773 both forward and backward views of the stack
1774 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1775 Use selector `frame-number';
1776 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1777 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1779 Use readline conditionally.
1781 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1783 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1784 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1785 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1787 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1788 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1791 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1793 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1795 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1797 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1799 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1801 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1803 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1804 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1805 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1806 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1807 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1808 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1809 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1810 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1811 libguile-config-stamp.
1812 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1813 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1814 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1815 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1816 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1818 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1820 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1821 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1822 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1824 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1825 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1826 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1827 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1830 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1832 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1834 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1836 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1838 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1839 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1841 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1843 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1844 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1845 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1846 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1847 objects starting with '#/'.
1849 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1851 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1852 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1853 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1854 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1855 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1856 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1858 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1859 module-modified): New procedures.
1860 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1861 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1863 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1865 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1868 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1870 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1871 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1872 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1874 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1877 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1879 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1880 at multiple calls to read.
1881 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1882 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1883 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1884 continued-lines prompt.
1886 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1887 reading expressions.
1889 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1891 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1892 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1894 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1896 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1897 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1900 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1902 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1903 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1905 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1906 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1907 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1908 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1909 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1912 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1914 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1915 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1917 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1919 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1920 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1921 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1922 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1924 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1926 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1928 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1929 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1930 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1933 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1935 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1936 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1937 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1938 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1939 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1940 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1941 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1942 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1943 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1944 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1945 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1947 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1949 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1950 peeked from the stream.
1951 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1952 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1953 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1955 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1957 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1958 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1960 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1962 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1963 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1964 exiting repl with single control-D.
1966 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1968 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1969 error catching loop after quit received.
1970 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1972 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1973 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1974 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1976 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1977 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1979 * popen.scm: new file.
1981 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1983 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1984 (reverse-iota): removed.
1986 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1988 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1989 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1991 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1993 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1994 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1995 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1996 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1997 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1999 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2001 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2003 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2004 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2006 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2007 Guile's module system.
2009 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2011 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2012 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2013 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2014 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2015 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2016 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2018 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2019 '() when the condition is false.
2021 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2023 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2025 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2027 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2029 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2031 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2032 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2033 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2035 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2037 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2038 argument order for hash-fold.
2040 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2042 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2044 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2045 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2047 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2048 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2049 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2050 has been added to the load path).
2052 Use try-load-module.
2054 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2056 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2057 module between system and user state.
2059 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2061 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2063 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2066 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2068 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2069 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2070 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2072 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2074 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2075 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2076 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2077 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2078 stack frame encountered.
2080 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2081 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2082 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2083 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2086 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2087 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2088 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2089 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2092 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2093 define-module switches:
2095 (define-module (foo)
2098 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2101 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2102 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2103 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2104 module it is a system frame.
2106 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2107 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2108 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2109 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2110 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2112 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2113 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2114 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2115 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2116 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2117 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2119 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2120 status of a module.;
2121 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2122 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2124 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2125 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2126 closure to the module.
2128 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2130 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2132 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2134 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2136 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2138 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2140 Fix from Russ McManus:
2141 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2142 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2143 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2144 either an optional or required value.
2146 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2148 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2150 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2151 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2153 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2154 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2155 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2156 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2158 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2160 * optargs.scm: New file.
2161 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2162 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2164 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2166 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2167 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2168 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2170 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2172 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2173 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2176 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2178 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2180 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2183 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2184 applied to the module itself.
2186 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2188 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2190 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2191 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2193 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2195 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2197 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2199 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2201 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2203 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2204 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2206 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2208 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2209 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2210 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2211 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2212 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2213 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2214 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2216 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2218 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2219 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2221 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2223 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2224 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2227 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2229 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2231 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2233 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2235 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2237 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2238 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2239 adapt to the new hooks.
2241 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2243 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2244 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2245 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2247 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2248 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2250 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2251 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2252 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2253 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2254 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2255 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2256 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2257 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2258 first to register linked modules.
2260 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2261 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2262 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2264 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2265 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2266 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2267 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2269 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2271 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2274 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2275 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2276 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2278 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2280 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2281 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2282 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2284 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2286 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2287 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2288 result of the last form.
2290 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2292 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2295 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2297 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2298 readline-set!: New options interface.
2300 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2302 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2304 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2305 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2307 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2309 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2310 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2312 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2314 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2315 interactive session.
2316 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2318 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2319 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2321 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2325 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2327 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2328 read line was empty.
2330 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2332 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2333 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2335 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2337 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2339 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2340 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2341 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2343 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2344 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2346 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2347 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2348 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2350 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2351 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2352 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2353 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2354 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2355 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2357 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2359 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2360 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2362 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2364 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2365 and short vectors #h(...).
2367 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2369 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2370 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2371 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2373 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2375 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2376 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2377 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2379 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2381 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2382 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2384 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2385 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2386 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2387 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2389 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2391 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2394 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2395 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2396 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2397 context with traps enabled.
2399 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2401 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2403 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2405 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2407 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2408 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2409 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2410 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2411 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2413 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2415 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2416 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2418 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2420 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2422 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2424 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2426 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2428 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2430 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2432 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2433 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2435 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2437 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2438 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2439 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2440 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2443 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2444 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2445 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2447 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2449 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2450 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2451 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2452 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2453 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2454 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2455 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2457 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2459 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2461 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2463 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2464 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2465 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2466 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2467 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2468 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2470 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2472 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2473 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2474 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2477 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2479 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2481 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2483 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2485 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2487 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2490 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2492 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2494 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2496 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2497 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2499 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2501 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2502 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2503 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2504 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2506 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2507 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2509 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2511 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2513 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2515 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2516 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2519 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2520 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2522 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2523 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2524 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2526 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2528 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2530 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2532 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2533 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2535 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2537 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2539 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2541 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2542 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2544 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2546 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2549 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2551 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2552 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2554 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2556 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2558 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2560 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2563 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2565 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2566 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2567 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2568 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2569 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2572 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2574 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2575 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2576 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2578 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2580 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2582 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2583 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2585 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2587 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2588 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2589 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2590 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2591 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2592 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2593 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2596 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2598 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2601 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2603 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2604 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2605 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2606 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2607 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2608 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2610 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2612 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2613 usefully so they will work from a script.
2615 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2617 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2618 neighborhood of the record code.
2620 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2622 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2623 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2624 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2625 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2627 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2629 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2630 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2631 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2633 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2635 Add support for readline function.
2636 * readline.scm: New module.
2637 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2638 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2639 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2641 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2642 repl-reader to use them.
2643 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2645 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2647 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2649 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2650 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2652 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2654 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2655 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2656 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2658 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2660 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2661 #f, abort terminates the process.
2662 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2663 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2665 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2667 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2668 print-state, throw it away.
2670 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2672 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2675 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2677 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2678 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2679 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2680 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2682 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2683 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2685 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2687 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2689 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2691 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2692 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2693 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2694 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2695 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2697 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2698 distribution and installation.
2699 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2701 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2703 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2705 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2707 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2708 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2709 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2711 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2712 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2715 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2717 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2719 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2721 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2723 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2724 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2725 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2726 field a separate argument.
2728 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2730 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2732 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2734 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2738 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2740 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2742 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2744 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2745 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2746 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2747 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2748 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2749 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2751 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2752 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2753 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2754 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2755 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2758 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2760 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2762 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2764 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.

2767 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2769 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2771 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2772 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2773 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2774 expansion inside the slib module.
2776 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2778 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2779 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

2784 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2786 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2787 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2788 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2790 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2791 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2794 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2796 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2797 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2799 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2801 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2802 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2803 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2804 mutator for module-associated transformer.

2806 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2807 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2808 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

2814 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2816 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2817 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2818 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2819 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2820 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2822 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2823 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2824 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2826 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2827 the syncase interface.
2829 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2831 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2832 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2833 workings of the current module system).
2835 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2837 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2838 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2841 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2843 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2844 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2845 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2847 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2849 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2850 according to the following priorities:
2851 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2852 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2854 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2855 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2856 (new-interpreter): New function.
2858 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2859 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2860 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2862 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2864 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2866 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

2878 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2879 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

2890 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2893 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

2897 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2899 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2900 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2902 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2904 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2905 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2907 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2908 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2910 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2912 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2914 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2915 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2916 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

2920 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2934 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2936 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2937 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2938 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2940 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2941 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2944 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2945 order to narrow it correctly.
2946 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2959 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2960 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2962 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2964 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2965 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2966 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2968 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2970 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2973 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2975 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2976 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2977 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2978 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.

2981 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2983 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

3000 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3001 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3002 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3003 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3004 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3005 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3007 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3008 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3009 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3010 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3012 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3014 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3015 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3016 sending in bug reports.
3017 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3018 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3019 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3020 display a warning if the two are different.
3021 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3022 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3023 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3031 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3032 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3034 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3035 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3036 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3037 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3038 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3039 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3042 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3043 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3046 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3047 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3049 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3052 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3055 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

3067 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3068 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3069 to support printing of structures.
3070 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3071 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3072 commented out printing code.
3073 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3074 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3083 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3084 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3085 during call to scm-style-repl.
3087 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3089 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3090 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3091 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3092 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3093 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3095 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3097 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3098 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3101 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3103 * regex.scm: New file.
3104 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

3110 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3111 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3112 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3114 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3116 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3119 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3121 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3122 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3123 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3125 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3127 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3128 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3131 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3133 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3137 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3139 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3141 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3142 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3145 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3147 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3148 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3149 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3151 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3153 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3154 the Scheme code like code yet.
3155 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3157 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3159 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3160 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3161 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3163 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3165 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3167 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules

3172 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3174 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3176 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3178 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3179 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3180 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3182 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3184 Get 'make dist' to work again.
3185 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3186 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

3216 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3218 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3219 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3221 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3228 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3229 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3230 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3231 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3233 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3235 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,

3249 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3251 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3252 Don't define read-sharp.
3254 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3255 (read-sharp): removed.
3256 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3257 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

3267 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3269 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3271 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3273 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3275 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3277 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3279 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3281 * (exit): alias for quit.
3283 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3285 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3286 return the quit args.
3287 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3288 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3289 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3291 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3293 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3295 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3297 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3298 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3300 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3301 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3303 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3304 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3307 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3309 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3311 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3312 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3313 Change hooks to use these functions.
3315 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3316 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3317 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3319 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3320 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3321 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3322 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3323 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3324 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3325 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3328 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3329 and exit-frame exceptions.
3331 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3332 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3333 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3334 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3335 result; otherwise display "> ".
3336 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3338 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3339 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3340 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3341 repository version runnable.
3343 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3345 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3346 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3347 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3348 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3349 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3350 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3352 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3354 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3355 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3357 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3359 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3360 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3362 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3364 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3366 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3368 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3371 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3373 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3374 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3376 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3378 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3381 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3383 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3384 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3386 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3388 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3390 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3391 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3392 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3393 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3394 dynamic linking of modules.
3395 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3396 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3398 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3400 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3402 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3404 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3407 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3408 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3411 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3413 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3414 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3415 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3417 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3419 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3420 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3423 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3425 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3426 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3427 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3429 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3431 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3432 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3433 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3434 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3436 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3437 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3438 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3439 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3440 (such as the-scm-module).
3442 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3444 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3447 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3449 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3450 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3451 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3453 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3455 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3456 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3457 function, use it accordingly.
3459 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3461 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3462 function of no arguments.
3463 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3464 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3465 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3466 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3467 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3468 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3469 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3470 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3472 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3474 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3475 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3477 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3479 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3480 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3481 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3482 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3483 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3485 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3488 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3489 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3490 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3491 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3493 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3495 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3497 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3498 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3499 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3501 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3504 Added `before-read-hook'.
3506 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3508 (provide): New function.
3510 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3513 (backtrace): New function.
3515 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3516 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3517 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3518 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3519 is found in operator position in a frame.
3521 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3524 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3525 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3526 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3528 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3530 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3532 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3534 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3536 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3538 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3540 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3541 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3543 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3544 so they'll get distributed.
3546 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3547 should see as little clutter as possible.
3548 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3549 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3550 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3552 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3553 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3554 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3555 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3556 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3557 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3558 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3559 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3560 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3561 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3563 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3564 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3566 * test.scm: New file.
3568 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3569 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3570 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3572 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3573 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3575 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3577 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3578 call %load-announce.
3580 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3582 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3583 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3584 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3586 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3588 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3590 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3591 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3592 SCSH (which this isn't).
3594 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3596 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3598 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3600 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3601 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3602 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3604 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3605 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3606 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3607 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3610 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3612 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3614 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3616 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3617 error-catching-loop.
3618 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3619 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3620 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3622 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3623 error-catching-loop.
3625 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3627 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3628 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3629 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3630 should be '(), not #f.
3632 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3633 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3635 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3637 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3638 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3641 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3643 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3644 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3645 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3646 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3648 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3650 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3652 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3654 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3656 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3657 throw-handler-default.
3658 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3660 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3662 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3663 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3665 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3667 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3668 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3669 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3670 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3672 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3674 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3675 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3676 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3677 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3679 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3680 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3681 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3682 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3685 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3687 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3689 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3692 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3695 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3697 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3699 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3700 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3702 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3704 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3706 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3708 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3710 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3711 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3712 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3713 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3714 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3716 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3717 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3718 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3719 they seem redundant.
3720 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3721 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3722 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3723 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3724 directly files starting with "/").
3725 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3726 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3728 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3730 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3732 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3733 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3734 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3735 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3736 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3737 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3738 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3739 robust to just do it in the C code.
3741 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3743 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3744 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3745 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3746 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3747 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3749 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3751 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3752 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3753 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3755 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3757 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3758 system-error, not every kind of error.
3759 (scm-error): new procedure.
3761 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3763 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3765 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3767 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3768 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3769 of args are supplied.
3770 (%%system-errors): removed.
3771 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3772 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3773 %%handle-system-error.
3774 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3775 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3776 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.

3805 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3806 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3807 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3808 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3809 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3829 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3830 Add the directory named after the version number.
3831 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.

3884 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3885 (manifest): Deleted.

3889 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3891 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
