 161
 162         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 163         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 164         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 165         frame is invoked.
 166
 167 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
 180         `interaction-evironment'.
 181         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
 182         module magic.
 183         (eval-when): New macro.
 184         (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to

 203
 204         * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the

 206
 207 2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 208
 209         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
 210         operating systems.
 211
 212         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

 217         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 218         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 219         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 220
 221 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 222
 223         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 224         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 225
 226         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 227         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 228
 229         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 230         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 231
 232 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 233
 234         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 235         in C for now.
 236         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 237         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 238
 239 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 240
 241         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 242         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 243         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 244         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 245         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 246         for now.
 247         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 248         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 249
 250 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 251
 252         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 253         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 254         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 255         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 256         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 257         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 258         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 259
 260 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 261
 262         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 263         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 264
 265 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 266
 267         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 268         any more.
 269
 270 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 271
 272         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 273         the-root-module.
 274
 275 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 276
 277         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 278
 279 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 280
 281         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 282         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 283         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 284         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 285         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 286         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 287         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 288         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 289         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 290         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 291         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 292         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 293         make-shared-substring.
 294
 295 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 296
 297         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 298         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 299         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 300         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 301         scm-style-repl.
 302
 303 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 304
 305         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 306         and open-output-pipe.
 307
 308 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 309
 310         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 311         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 312         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 313         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 314         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 315         Pirotte for the bug report).
 316         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 317         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 318
 319 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 320
 321         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

 327
 328 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 329
 330         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 331         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 332         patch.
 333
 334 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 335
 336         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 337         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 338
 339 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 340
 341         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 342         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 343         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 344
 345         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 346         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 347         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 348         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 349         actual documentation entries themselves.
 350
 351 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 362         Convert first argument to a string.
 363
 364         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 365         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 366         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 367         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 376
 377 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 380         `symbol-append'.
 381         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 382         args.
 383         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 384         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 385         even worked...  /mdj.
 386         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 387         `symbol->string'.
 388         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 389         semantics.
 390
 391 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 392
 393         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 394         form set!.
 395
 396 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 397
 398         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 399         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 400
 401 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 402
 403         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 413
 414 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 415
 416         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 417         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 418         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 419         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 420         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 421
 422         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 423
 424 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 425
 426         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 427         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 428
 429         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 430         syntactic bindings.
 431
 432         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 433         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 434         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 435         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 436
 437         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 438
 439         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 440         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 441
 442         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 443
 444         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 445         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 446
 447 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 448
 449         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 450         definition of module-type.
 451
 452         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 453
 454         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 455
 456         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 457         lines.
 458         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 459         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 460
 461 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 462
 463         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 464
 465 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 466
 467         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 468         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 469         Mikael for the suggestion.
 470
 471 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 472
 473         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 474         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 475
 476 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 477
 478         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 479         for export args.
 480
 481 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 482
 483         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 484
 485 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 486
 487         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 488         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 489         for the hint.
 490
 491         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 492         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 493         tail recursive yet.
 494
 495 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 498         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 501         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 502         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 503         See NEWS.
 504         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 505
 506         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 507
 508 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 509
 510         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 511         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 512
 513 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 514
 515         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 516         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 517
 518 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 519
 520         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 521         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 522
 523 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 524
 525         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 526
 527         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 528
 529         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 530
 531 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 532
 533         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 534         '() instead of #f.
 535         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 536         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 537         `the-root-module'.
 538         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 539
 540         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 541         documentation.scm.
 542
 543         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 544         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 545         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 546         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 547         (help): Rewritten.
 548
 549         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 550
 551         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 552
 553 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 554
 555         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 556         (write-all): Removed.
 557         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 558         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 559
 560 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 561
 562         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 563         `proc-documentation'
 564
 565         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 566         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 567         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 568         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 569         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 570         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 571         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 572         getter...)
 573
 574 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 575
 576         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 577
 578 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 579
 580         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 581         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 582         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 583         closure.
 584
 585 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 588         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 589         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 590         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 591         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 592         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 593         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 594
 595 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 596
 597         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 598         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 599
 600 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 601
 602         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 603         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 604
 605 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 606
 607         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 608         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 609         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 610         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 611         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 612         delete-if! when iterating.
 613
 614 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 615
 616         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 617
 618 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 619
 620         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 621
 622 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 623
 624         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 625         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 626         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 627         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 628
 629 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 630
 631         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 632         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 633
 634 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 635
 636         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 637         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 638         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 639         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 640
 641 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 642
 643         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 644         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 645
 646 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 647
 648         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 649         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 650
 651 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 652
 653         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 654         Dirk Hermann!
 655
 656 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 657
 658         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 659         source of the numerous very short changes.
 660
 661 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 662
 663         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 664         public.
 665
 666         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 667         info pages.
 668
 669 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 670
 671         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 672         from slib docs.
 673
 674 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 675
 676         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 677         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 678
 679 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 680
 681         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 682         to string-append.
 683
 684 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 685
 686         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 687         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 688         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 689
 690 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 691
 692         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 693         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 694         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 695         Narazaki for this change.
 696
 697 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 698
 699         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 700         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 701         %S.
 702
 703         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 704         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 705
 706 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 707
 708         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 709         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 710
 711 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 712
 713         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 714         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 715         use define-public to export from the module.
 716
 717 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 718
 719         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 720         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 721         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 722
 723 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 724
 725         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 726
 727 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 728
 729         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 730         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 731
 732 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 733
 734         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 735
 736         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 737
 738         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 739
 740 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 743         long_long uniform vectors.
 744
 745 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 746
 747         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 748         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 749
 750 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 751
 752         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 753         script to create generated files like this one.
 754
 755 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 756
 757         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 758         available before using getpw and getuid.
 759         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 760         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 761         check for stat.
 762         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 763         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 764         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 765         available.
 766         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 767         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 768         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 769
 770         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 771         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 772
 773         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 774
 775 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 776
 777         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 778         than 'exit-debugger.
 779
 780         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 781         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 782
 783         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 784
 785 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 786
 787         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 788         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 789         ("position"): New command.
 790         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 791         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 792         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 793         to return a valid state.)
 794         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 795
 796 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 797
 798         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 799         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 800         Badros.)
 801
 802 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 803
 804         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 805         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 806
 807 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 808
 809         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 810
 811         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 812
 813         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 814         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.

 818         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 819         expression.
 820         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 821         Handle errors.
 822
 823 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 824
 825         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 826         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 827
 828         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 829
 830 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 831
 832         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 833         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 834         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 835         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 836
 837         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 838         argument.
 839
 840         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 841         both forward and backward views of the stack
 842         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 843         Use selector `frame-number';
 844         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 845         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 846         Use (ice-9 debug).
 847         Use readline conditionally.
 848
 849 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 850
 851         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 852         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 853         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 854
 855         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 856         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 857         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 858
 859 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 860
 861         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 862
 863         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 864
 865         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 866
 867         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 868
 869 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 870
 871         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 872         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 873         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 874         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 875         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 876         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 877         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 878         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 879         libguile-config-stamp.
 880         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 881         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 882         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 883         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 884         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 885
 886 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 887
 888         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 889         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 890         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 891
 892         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 893         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 894         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 895         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 896         readline.
 897
 898         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 899
 900 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 901
 902         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 903
 904 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 907         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 908
 909 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 910
 911         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 912         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 913         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 914         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 915         objects starting with '#/'.
 916
 917 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 918
 919         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 920         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 921         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 922         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 923         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 924         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 925         `observer-id'.
 926         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 927         module-modified): New procedures.
 928         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 929         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 930
 931 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 932
 933         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 934         defines.
 935
 936 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 937
 938         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 939         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 940         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 941
 942         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 943         position.
 944
 945 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 946
 947         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 948         at multiple calls to read.
 949         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 950         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 951         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 952         continued-lines prompt.
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 955         reading expressions.
 956
 957 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 958
 959         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 960         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 961
 962 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 963
 964         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 965         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 966         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 967
 968         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 969
 970         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 971         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 972
 973         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 974         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 975         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 976         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 977         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 978         instead of a port.
 979
 980 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 981
 982         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 983         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 984
 985         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 986
 987         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 988         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 989         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 990         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 991
 992         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 993
 994         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 995
 996         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 997         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 998         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 999         an alist.
1000
1001         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1002
1003         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1004         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1005         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1006         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1007         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1008         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1009         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1010         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1011         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1012         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1013         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1014
1015         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1016
1017         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1018         peeked from the stream.
1019         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1020         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1021         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1022
1023         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1026         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1027
1028         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1029
1030         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1031         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1032         exiting repl with single control-D.
1033
1034         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1035
1036         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1037         error catching loop after quit received.
1038         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1041         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1042         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1043
1044         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1045         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1046         boot-9.scm.
1047         * popen.scm: new file.
1048
1049 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1050
1051        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1052        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1053
1054 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1055
1056         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1057         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1058
1059 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1060
1061         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1062         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1063         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1064         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1065         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1066
1067 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1070
1071         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1072         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1073
1074         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1075         Guile's module system.
1076
1077         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1078         changes:
1079         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1080         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1081         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1082         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1083         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1084         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1085         modern CL behavior.
1086         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1087         '() when the condition is false.
1088
1089 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1090
1091         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1092
1093 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1094
1095         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1096
1097 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1098
1099         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1100         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1101         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1102
1103 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1104
1105         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1106         argument order for hash-fold.
1107
1108 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1109
1110         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1111         resolve-module.
1112         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1113         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1114
1115         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1116         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1117         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1118         has been added to the load path).
1119
1120         Use try-load-module.
1121
1122 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1125         module between system and user state.
1126
1127 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1128
1129         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1130
1131         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1132         definition.
1133
1134 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1135
1136         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1137         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1138         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1139
1140 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1141
1142         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1143         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1144         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1145         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1146         stack frame encountered.
1147
1148         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1149         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1150         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1151         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1152         list).]
1153
1154         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1155         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1156         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1157         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1158         please tell me!]
1159
1160         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1161         define-module switches:
1162
1163         (define-module (foo)
1164           :no-backtrace)
1165
1166         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1167         modules.
1168
1169         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1170         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1171         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1172         module it is a system frame.
1173
1174         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1175         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1176         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1177         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1178         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1179
1180         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1181         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1182         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1183         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1184         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1185         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1188         status of a module.;
1189         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1190         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1191
1192         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1193         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1194         closure to the module.
1195
1196         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1197
1198 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1199
1200         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1201
1202 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1203
1204         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1205
1206 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1207
1208         Fix from Russ McManus:
1209         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1210         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1211         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1212         either an optional or required value.
1213
1214 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1215
1216         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1217
1218         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1219         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1220
1221         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1222         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1223         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1224         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1225
1226 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1227
1228         * optargs.scm: New file.
1229         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1230         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1231
1232 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1233
1234         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1235         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1236         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1237
1238 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1239
1240         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1241         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1242         for isn't loaded.
1243
1244 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1245
1246         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1247
1248 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1249
1250         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1251         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1252         applied to the module itself.
1253
1254 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1255
1256         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1257
1258         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1259         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1260
1261 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1262
1263         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1264
1265 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1268
1269 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1270
1271         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1272         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1273
1274 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1275
1276         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1277         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1278         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1279         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1280         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1281         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1282         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1283
1284 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1285
1286         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1287         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1288
1289 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1290
1291         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1292         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1293         static libraries.
1294
1295 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1296
1297         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1298
1299 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1300
1301         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1302
1303 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1304
1305         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1306         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1307         adapt to the new hooks.
1308
1309 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1312         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1313         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1314         code.
1315         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1316         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1317
1318         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1319         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1320         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1321         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1322         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1323         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1324         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1325         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1326         first to register linked modules.
1327
1328         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1329         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1330         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1331
1332         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1333         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1334         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1335         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1338         to use from C:
1339         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1340         libguile/feature.c.
1341
1342         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1343         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1344         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1345
1346 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1349         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1350         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1351
1352 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1355         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1356         result of the last form.
1357
1358 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1359
1360         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1361         syncase.scm.
1362
1363         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1364
1365         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1366         readline-set!: New options interface.
1367
1368         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1369
1370 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1371
1372         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1373         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1374
1375 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1376
1377         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1378         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1379
1380 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1383         interactive session.
1384         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1385
1386         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1387         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1388
1389 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1390
1391         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1392
1393 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1394
1395         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1396         read line was empty.
1397
1398 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1399
1400         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1401         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1402
1403         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1404
1405         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1406         problem.  Duh.
1407         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1408         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1409         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1412         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1413         into...
1414         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1415         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1416         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1417
1418         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1419         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1420         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1421         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1422         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1423         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1424         psyntax.ss.
1425         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1426
1427         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1428         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1429
1430 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1431
1432         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1433         and short vectors #h(...).
1434
1435 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1436
1437         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1438         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1439         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1440
1441 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1442
1443         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1444         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1445         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1446
1447 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1448
1449         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1450         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1451
1452         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1453         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1454         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1455         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1456
1457 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1458
1459         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1460         trace flag.
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1463         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1464         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1465         context with traps enabled.
1466
1467 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1468
1469         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1470         module.
1471         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1472
1473 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1474
1475         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1476         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1477         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1478         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1479         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.

1481 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1482
1483         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1484         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1485
1486 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1487
1488         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1489
1490 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1491
1492         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1493
1494 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1495
1496         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1497
1498 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1499
1500         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1501         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1502
1503 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1504
1505         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1506         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1507         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1508         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1509         Archibald.)
1510
1511         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1512         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1513         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1514
1515 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1516
1517         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1518         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1519         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1520         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1521         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1522         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1523         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1524
1525 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1526
1527         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1528
1529 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1530
1531         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1532         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1533         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1534         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1535         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1536         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1537
1538 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1539
1540         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1541         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1542         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1543         Steven G. Johnson.)
1544
1545 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1546
1547         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1548
1549 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1550
1551         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1552
1553 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1554
1555         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1556         be completed.
1557
1558 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1559
1560         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1561
1562 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1563
1564         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1565         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1566
1567 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1568
1569         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1570         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1571         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1572         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1573         transformer.
1574         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1575         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1576
1577 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1578
1579         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1580
1581 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1582
1583         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1584         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1585         completion.
1586
1587         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1588         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1589
1590         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1591         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1592         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1593
1594         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1595
1596 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1597
1598         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1599
1600         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1601         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1602
1603 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1604
1605         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1606
1607 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608
1609         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1610         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1611
1612         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1613
1614         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1615         obsolete.
1616
1617 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1618
1619         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1620         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1621
1622 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1623
1624         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1625
1626 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1627
1628         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1629         Stachowiak.)
1630
1631 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1632
1633         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1634         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1635         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1636         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1637         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1638         threads.
1639
1640 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1641
1642         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1643         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1644         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1645
1646 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1647
1648         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1649
1650         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1651         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1652
1653 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1654
1655         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1656         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1657         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1658         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1659         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1660         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1661         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1662         to go here.
1663
1664 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1665
1666         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1667         is now a fluid.
1668
1669 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1670
1671         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1672         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1673         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1674         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1675         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1676         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1677
1678 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1681         usefully so they will work from a script.
1682
1683 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1684
1685         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1686         neighborhood of the record code.
1687
1688 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1691         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1692         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1693         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1694
1695 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1696
1697         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1698         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1699         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1700
1701 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1702
1703         Add support for readline function.
1704         * readline.scm: New module.
1705         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1706         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1707         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1708         anything.
1709         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1710         repl-reader to use them.
1711         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1712
1713         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1714
1715 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1716
1717         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1718         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1719
1720 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1721
1722         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1723         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1724         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1725
1726 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1727
1728         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1729         #f, abort terminates the process.
1730         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1731         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1732
1733 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1734
1735         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1736         print-state, throw it away.
1737
1738 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1741         `0'.
1742
1743 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1744
1745         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1746         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1747         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1748         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1749         user field).
1750         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1751         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1752
1753 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1754
1755         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1756
1757 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1758
1759         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1760         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1761         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1762         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1763         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1764         boot-9.scm.
1765         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1766         distribution and installation.
1767         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1768
1769 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1770
1771         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1772
1773 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1774
1775         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1776         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1777         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1778
1779         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1780         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1781         symbol.
1782
1783 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1784
1785         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1786
1787         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1788
1789 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1790
1791         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1792         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1793         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1794         field a separate argument.
1795
1796         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1797
1798 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1799
1800         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1801
1802         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1803         vicinity;
1804         Provide defmacro.
1805
1806 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1807
1808         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1809
1810 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1811
1812         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1813         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1814         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1815         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1816         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1817         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1818         registered.
1819         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1820         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1821         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1822         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1823         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1824         link a .so-file.

1827
1828         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1832         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1833         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1834
1835 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1836
1837         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1838
1839         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1840         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1841         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1842         expansion inside the slib module.
1843
1844         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1845         constructors.
1846         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1847         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1848         (let): New core form.
1849         (if): Removed from core language.
1850         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1851         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1852         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1853
1854         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1855         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1856         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1857         source.
1858         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1859         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1860         been loaded.
1861
1862 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1863
1864         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1865         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with

1871         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1872         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1873         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1874         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1875         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1876         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1877         module.
1878         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1879
1880 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1881
1882         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1883
1884         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1885         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1886         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1887         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1888         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

1891         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1892         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1893         syncase macros.
1894         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1895         the syncase interface.
1896
1897 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1898
1899         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1900         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1901         workings of the current module system).
1902
1903 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1904
1905         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1906         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1907         off!
1908
1909 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1914
1915 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1916
1917         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1918         according to the following priorities:
1919         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1920         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1921         3. tcl bindings
1922         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1923         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1924         (new-interpreter): New function.
1925
1926         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1927         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1928         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1929
1930 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

1939
1940         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1941         procedures.

1945
1946         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1947         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1948         source!
1949
1950 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1957         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1958         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1959         in stack-ref).
1960
1961         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1962         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1963         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1964         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1965         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1966         result protocol;

1979
1980 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1981
1982         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1983         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1984         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1985
1986         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1987
1988         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1989         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1990         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1991

2000         cstime.
2001
2002 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2003
2004         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2005         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2006         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2007
2008         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2009         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2010         the top.
2011
2012         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2013         order to narrow it correctly.
2014         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2015
2016 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2018         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2019         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2020
2021 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2022
2023         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2024
2025 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2026
2027         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2028         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2029
2030 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2031
2032         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2033         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2034         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2035
2036 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2037
2038         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2039         automatically.
2040
2041 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2044         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2045         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2046         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2047         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2048
2049 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2050
2051         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2052         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2053         a default of /.
2054
2055         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2056
2057 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2058
2059         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2060         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2061         notation, instead of #/ notation.

2064         make-regexp.
2065

2067
2068         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2069         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2070         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2071         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2072         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2073         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2074
2075         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2076         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2077         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2078         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2079
2080 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2081
2082         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2083         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2084         sending in bug reports.
2085         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2086         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2087         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2088         display a warning if the two are different.
2089         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2090         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2091         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2092
2093 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2094
2095         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2096
2097 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2100         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2101
2102         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2103         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2104         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2105         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2106         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2107         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2108         that's okay.
2109
2110         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2111         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2112         regexp interface.
2113
2114         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2115         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2116
2117         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2118         function names.
2119
2120         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2121         fixes.
2122
2123 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2124
2125         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2126         ../configure.in.
2127
2128 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2131         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2132
2133 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2134
2135         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2136         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2137         to support printing of structures.
2138         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2139         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2140         commented out printing code.
2141         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2142         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2143
2144 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2145
2146         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2147
2148 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2149
2150         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2151         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2152         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2153         during call to scm-style-repl.
2154
2155 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2156
2157         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2158         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2159         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2160         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2161         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2162
2163 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2164
2165         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2166         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2167         (ice-9 regex).
2168

2171         * regex.scm: New file.
2172         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2173         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2174
2175 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2176
2177         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2178         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2179         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2180         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

2183
2184         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2185         in 1997.
2186
2187 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2188
2189         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2190         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2191         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2192
2193 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2194
2195         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2196         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2197         here.
2198
2199 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2200
2201         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2202
2203 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2204
2205         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2206
2207 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2208
2209         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2210         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2211         fixes this too.
2212
2213 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2214
2215         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2216         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2217         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2218
2219 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2220
2221         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2222         the Scheme code like code yet.
2223         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2224
2225 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2226
2227         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2228         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2229         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2230
2231 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2232
2233         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2234         use-modules macro
2235         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2236         can't be found.
2237
2238 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2239
2240         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2241
2242 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2243
2244         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2245
2246         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2247         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2248         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2249
2250 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2251
2252         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2253         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2254         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2255
2256         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2257         no plugins.
2258         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2259         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2260
2261 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2264         functions.
2265

2267
2268         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2269
2270 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2271
2272         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2273         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2274
2275 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2276
2277         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2278         instead of in libguile.
2279         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2280         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2281
2282 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2283
2284         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2285         procedures.
2286         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2287         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2288
2289 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2290
2291         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2292         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2293
2294 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2295
2296         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2297         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2298         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2299         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2300
2301 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2302
2303         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2304         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2305
2306 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2307
2308         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2309
2310 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2311
2312         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2313         keywords and symbols.
2314
2315 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2316
2317         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2318
2319         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2320         Don't define read-sharp.
2321
2322         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2323         (read-sharp): removed.
2324         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2325         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2326
2327 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2330
2331         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2332         primitive procedure.)
2333
2334         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2335         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2336
2337 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2338
2339         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2340
2341 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2342
2343         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2344
2345 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2348         read gets EOF.
2349         * (exit): alias for quit.
2350
2351 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2352
2353         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2354         return the quit args.
2355         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2356         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2357         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2358
2359         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2360
2361 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2362
2363         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2364
2365         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2366         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2367
2368         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2369         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2370
2371         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2372         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2373         of handlers.
2374
2375 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2376
2377         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2378
2379         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2380         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2381         Change hooks to use these functions.
2382
2383         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2384         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2385         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2386         the source! :-)
2387         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2388         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2389         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2390         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2391         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2392         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2393         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2394         traced.
2395
2396         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2397         and exit-frame exceptions.
2398
2399         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2400         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2401         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2402         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2403         result; otherwise display "> ".
2404         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2405
2406         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2407         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2408         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2409         repository version runnable.
2410
2411 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2412
2413         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2414         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2415         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2416         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2417         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2418         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2419
2420 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2421
2422         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2423         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2424         and eval.
2425         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2426         "defined?".
2427         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2428         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2429
2430 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2431
2432         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2433
2434 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2435
2436         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2437         %read-sharp layer.
2438
2439 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2440
2441         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2442         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2443
2444 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2445
2446         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2447         backtrace.c.)
2448
2449 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2450
2451         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2452         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2453
2454 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2455
2456         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2457
2458         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2459         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2460         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2461         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2462         dynamic linking of modules.
2463         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2464         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2465
2466 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2467
2468         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2469
2470 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2473         that's what it is.
2474
2475         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2476         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2477         was false.
2478
2479 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2480
2481         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2482         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2483         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2484
2485 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2486
2487         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2488         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2489         yet.
2490
2491 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2492
2493         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2494         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2495         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2496
2497 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2498
2499         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2500         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2501         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2502         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2503
2504         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2505         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2506         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2507         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2508         (such as the-scm-module).
2509
2510 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2511
2512         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2513         %search-load-path.
2514
2515 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2516
2517         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2518         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2519         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.

2521 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2522
2523         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2524         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2525         function, use it accordingly.
2526
2527 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2528
2529         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2530         function of no arguments.
2531         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2532         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2533         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2534         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2535         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2536         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2537         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2538         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2539
2540 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2541
2542         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2543         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2544
2545 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2546
2547         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2548         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2549         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2550         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2551         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2552
2553         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2554         `*features*'.
2555
2556         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2557         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2558         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2559         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2560
2561         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2562
2563         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2564
2565         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2566         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2567         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2568
2569         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2570         error.
2571
2572         Added `before-read-hook'.
2573
2574         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2575
2576         (provide): New function.
2577
2578         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2579         in backtraces.
2580
2581         (backtrace): New function.
2582
2583         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2584         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2585         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2586         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2587         is found in operator position in a frame.
2588
2589         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2590         by default.
2591
2592         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2593         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2594         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2595
2596         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2597
2598         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2599
2600         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2601
2602         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2603
2604 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2605
2606         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2607
2608         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2609         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2610
2611         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2612         so they'll get distributed.
2613
2614         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2615         should see as little clutter as possible.
2616         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2617         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2618         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2619
2620         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2621         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2622         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2623         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2624         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2625         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2626         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2627         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2628         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2629         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2630         that are not.
2631         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2632         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2633
2634         * test.scm: New file.
2635
2636         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2637         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2638         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2639
2640         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2641         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2642
2643         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2644         work now.
2645         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2646         call %load-announce.
2647
2648 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2649
2650         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2651         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2652         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2653         components.
2654         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2655
2656 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2657
2658         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2659         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2660         SCSH (which this isn't).
2661
2662 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2663
2664         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2665
2666 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2667
2668         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2669         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2670         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2671         these.
2672         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2673         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2674         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2675         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2676         save-stack.
2677
2678 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2679
2680         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2681
2682         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2683
2684         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2685         error-catching-loop.
2686         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2687         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2688         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2689
2690         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2691         error-catching-loop.
2692
2693 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2694
2695         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2696         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2697         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2698         should be '(), not #f.
2699
2700         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2701         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2702
2703 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2704
2705         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2706         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2707         error-signal.
2708
2709 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2710
2711         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2712         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2713         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2714         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2715
2716 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2717
2718         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2719
2720 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2721
2722         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2723
2724         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2725         throw-handler-default.
2726         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2727         reported.
2728         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2729         acro.
2730         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2731         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2732
2733 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2734
2735         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2736         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2737         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2738         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2739
2740 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2741
2742         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2743         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2744         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2745         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2746         ...))
2747         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2748         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2749         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2750         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2751         file-is-directory?
2752
2753 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2754
2755         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2756
2757         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2758         distribution.
2759
2760         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2761         `switch-repl'.
2762
2763         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2764
2765 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2766
2767         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2768         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2769
2770 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2771
2772         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2773
2774         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2775
2776 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2777
2778         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2779         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2780         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2781         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2782         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2783
2784         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2785         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2786         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2787         they seem redundant.
2788         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2789         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2790         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2791         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2792         directly files starting with "/").
2793         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2794         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2795
2796         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2797
2798 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2799
2800         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2801         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2802         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2803         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2804         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2805         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2806         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2807         robust to just do it in the C code.
2808
2809 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2810
2811         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2812         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2813         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2814         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2815         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2816
2817 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2818
2819         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2820         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2821         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2822
2823 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2824
2825         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2826         system-error, not every kind of error.
2827         (scm-error): new procedure.
2828
2829 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2830
2831         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2832
2833 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2834
2835         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2836         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2837         of args are supplied.
2838         (%%system-errors): removed.
2839         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2840         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2841         %%handle-system-error.
2842         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2843         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2844         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2845         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2846
2847 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2848
2849         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2850         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2851         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2852         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2853
2854 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2872
2873         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2874         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2875         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2876         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2877         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2910         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the

2913         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2914         for these.
