   6
   7         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.

  10         throw-handler-default.
  11         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
  12         reported.

  19
  20         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
  21         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
  22         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
  23         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
  24

  28         Append "." to the default %load-path.
  29         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
  30         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
  31         ...))
  32         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
  33         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
  34         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
  35         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
  36         file-is-directory?
  37
  38 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  39
  40         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
  41
  42         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
  43         distribution.
  44
  45         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
  46         `switch-repl'.
  47

  49
  50 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
  53         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
  54
  55 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  56
  57         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
  58
  59         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
  60
  61 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
  64         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
  65         Don't set up 'error as a key.
  66         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
  67         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
  68
  69 *       (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
  70         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
  71         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
  72         they seem redundant.
  73         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
  74 *       (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
  75         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
  76         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
  77         directly files starting with "/").
  78         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
  79         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
  80
  81         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
  82
  83 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
  86         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
  87         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
  88         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
  89         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
  90         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
  91         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
  92         robust to just do it in the C code.
  93
  94 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  95
  96         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
  97         %try-load itself was the primitive.
  98         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
  99         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 100         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 101
 102 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 103
 104         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 105         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 106         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 107
 108 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 109
 110         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 111         system-error, not every kind of error.
 112         (scm-error): new procedure.
 113
 114 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 115
 116         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 117
 118 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 119
 120         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 121         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 122         of args are supplied.
 123         (%%system-errors): removed.
 124         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 125         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 126         %%handle-system-error.
 127         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 128         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 129         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 130         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 131
 132 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 135         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 136         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 137         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 138
 139 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 142         the empty list if they are #f.
 143         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 144
 145 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 146
 147         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 150         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 151         aborting, just the key and subr.
 152         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 153         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 154         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 155
 156 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 159         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 160         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 161         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 162         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 163
 164 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 165
 166         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 167         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 168         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 169         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 170
 171 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 174         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 175         initialize %load-path.
 176
 177         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 178         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 179
 180 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 181
 182         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 183         Add the directory named after the version number.
 184         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 185         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 186         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 187         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 188         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

 192
 193 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 194
 195         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 196         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 197         in the Makefile directly.
 198         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 199         for these.
 200         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 201         aux_files.
 202         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 203         here, where people expect to find them.

 211
 212 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 213
 214         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 215         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

 236
 237         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
 238         (manifest): Deleted.
 239         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

 248
 249 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
