3 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
4 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
5 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
6 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
8 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
10 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
11 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
12 %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of

33 the `arglist' procedure property.
34 * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
35 present a more detailed argument list.

79 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
81 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
82 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
83 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
85 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
87 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
88 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.

100 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
102 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
103 last-command fluid is not yet set.
105 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
107 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
109 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
110 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
111 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
113 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
115 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
116 handle :use-syntax correctly.
118 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
120 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
123 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
125 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
126 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.

134 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
135 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
137 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
139 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
140 primitives. Thanks Neil!
142 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
144 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
145 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
146 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
147 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
149 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
150 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
151 since there aren't definitions for them.
153 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
154 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
156 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
158 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
159 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
161 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
163 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
164 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
166 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
168 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
169 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
170 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
172 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
174 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
176 * tags.scm: Removed file.
178 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
180 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
181 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
183 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
184 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
185 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
188 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
190 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
191 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
193 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
195 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
196 Don't reset trace-level to 0.

212 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
214 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
216 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
217 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
219 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
222 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
223 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
224 No longer require `pretty-print'.
226 (slib:error): Delete.
227 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
229 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
234 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
238 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
240 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
241 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
242 rdelim) module. See below.
244 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
246 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
247 include-deprecated-features is true.
249 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
251 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
254 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
255 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
256 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
258 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
259 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
260 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
263 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
265 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
266 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
267 variable, not just a visible one.
268 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
269 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
270 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
271 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
272 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
273 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
275 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
277 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
278 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
280 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
282 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
283 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
285 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
287 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
289 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
291 Added exception notice to all files.
293 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
294 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
295 importing bindings once in a while.
297 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
299 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
300 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
301 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
302 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
303 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
304 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
305 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
306 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
308 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
309 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
311 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
313 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
314 fix command so that it works.
316 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
317 to access unbound variables.
319 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
320 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
321 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
322 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
323 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
325 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
327 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
328 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
329 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
330 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
331 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
332 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
333 argument for process-define-module.
334 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
335 arguments for process-use-modules.
336 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
338 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
340 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
341 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
342 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
345 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
346 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
347 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
349 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

366 getting the syntax transformer. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
368 2001-05-21 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
370 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
371 deprecated features have been removed. Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
373 * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
376 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
378 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
379 * match.scm: Likewise.
380 * expect.scm: Likewise.
381 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
383 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
385 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
387 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
389 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
390 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
391 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
392 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
393 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
394 element list when adding "." to it.
395 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
396 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
398 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
400 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
402 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
403 now accepts arg; update callers.
404 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
405 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
407 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
408 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
409 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
410 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
411 `search-documentation-files'.
412 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
413 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
414 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
416 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
417 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
419 (find-documentation): Delete.
420 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
421 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
423 2001-05-15 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
425 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
426 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

438 Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
440 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
442 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
444 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
445 the magical undefined value.

447 the default default for bindings.
449 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
450 make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
451 (root-module-closure): Removed.
452 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
453 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
454 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
455 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
456 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
457 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
458 (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
459 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
460 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
461 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
462 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
463 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
464 `set-current-module' call.
465 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
466 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

506 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
507 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
508 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

513 * q.scm, runq.scm, getopt-long.scm: Update copyright.
514 Surround commentary w/ standard markers; nfc.
516 * expect.scm: Update copyright.
517 Fix commentary typo; nfc.

523 2001-05-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
525 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Change error message to say

560 2001-04-27 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
562 * documentation.scm: Update copyright.
564 Use `define-module' `:export' clause instead of `define-public'.

837 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
838 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
839 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
840 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
841 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
842 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
843 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
845 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
847 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
848 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
850 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
852 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings

857 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
860 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
862 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
864 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
866 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
867 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
868 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
869 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
870 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

880 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

883 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
884 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define

888 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
890 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
891 and open-output-pipe.
893 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
895 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
896 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
897 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
898 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
899 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
900 Pirotte for the bug report).
901 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
902 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
904 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
906 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

926 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
927 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
928 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
930 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
931 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
932 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
933 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
934 actual documentation entries themselves.
936 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
938 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
940 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

966 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
968 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
969 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never

973 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
976 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1001 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1002 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1003 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1004 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1005 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1007 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1009 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1011 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1012 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1014 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1017 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1018 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

1098 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1100 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1101 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1103 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1105 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1106 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1108 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1110 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

1147 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1148 `proc-documentation'
1150 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1151 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1152 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1153 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1154 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1155 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1156 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1159 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1161 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1163 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1165 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1166 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1167 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1170 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1172 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1173 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1174 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1175 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1176 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1177 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1178 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1180 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1182 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1183 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1185 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1187 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1188 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1190 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1192 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1193 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1194 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1195 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1196 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1197 delete-if! when iterating.
1199 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1201 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1203 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1205 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1207 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1209 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1210 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1211 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1212 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1214 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1216 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1217 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1219 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1222 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1223 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1224 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1226 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1228 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1229 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1231 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1233 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1234 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1236 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1238 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1241 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1243 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1244 source of the numerous very short changes.
1246 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1248 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1251 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1254 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1256 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1259 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1261 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1262 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1264 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1266 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1269 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1271 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1272 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1273 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1275 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1277 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1278 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1279 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1280 Narazaki for this change.
1282 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1284 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1285 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1288 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1289 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1291 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1293 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1294 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1296 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1298 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1299 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1300 use define-public to export from the module.
1302 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1304 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1305 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1306 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1308 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1310 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1312 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1314 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1315 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1317 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1319 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1321 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1323 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1325 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1327 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1328 long_long uniform vectors.
1330 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1332 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1333 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1335 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1337 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1338 script to create generated files like this one.
1340 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1342 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1343 available before using getpw and getuid.
1344 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1345 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1347 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1348 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1349 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1351 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1352 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1353 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1355 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1356 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1358 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1360 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1362 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1363 than 'exit-debugger.
1365 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1366 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1368 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1370 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1372 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1373 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1374 ("position"): New command.
1375 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1376 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1377 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1378 to return a valid state.)
1379 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1381 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1383 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1384 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1387 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1389 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1390 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1392 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1394 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1396 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1398 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1399 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1401 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1402 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1403 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1405 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1408 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1410 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1411 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1413 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1415 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1417 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1418 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1419 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1420 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1422 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1425 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1426 both forward and backward views of the stack
1427 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1428 Use selector `frame-number';
1429 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1430 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1432 Use readline conditionally.
1434 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1436 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1437 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1438 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1440 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1441 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1444 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1446 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1448 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1450 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1452 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1454 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1456 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1457 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1458 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1459 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1460 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1461 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1462 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1463 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1464 libguile-config-stamp.
1465 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1466 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1467 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1468 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1469 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1471 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1473 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1474 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1475 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1477 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1478 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1479 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1480 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1483 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1485 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1487 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1489 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1491 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1492 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1494 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1496 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1497 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1498 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1499 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1500 objects starting with '#/'.
1502 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1504 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1505 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1506 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1507 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1508 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1509 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1511 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1512 module-modified): New procedures.
1513 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1514 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1516 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1518 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1521 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1523 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1524 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1525 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1527 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1530 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1532 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1533 at multiple calls to read.
1534 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1535 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1536 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1537 continued-lines prompt.
1539 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1540 reading expressions.
1542 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1544 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1545 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1547 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1549 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1550 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1553 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1555 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1556 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1558 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1559 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1560 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1561 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1562 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1565 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1567 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1568 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1570 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1572 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1573 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1574 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1575 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1577 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1579 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1581 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1582 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1583 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1586 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1588 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1589 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1590 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1591 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1592 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1593 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1594 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1595 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1596 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1597 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1598 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1600 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1602 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1603 peeked from the stream.
1604 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1605 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1606 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1608 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1610 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1611 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1613 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1615 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1616 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1617 exiting repl with single control-D.
1619 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1621 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1622 error catching loop after quit received.
1623 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1625 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1626 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1627 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1629 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1630 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1632 * popen.scm: new file.
1634 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1636 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1637 (reverse-iota): removed.
1639 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1641 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1642 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1644 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1646 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1647 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1648 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1649 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1650 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1652 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1654 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1656 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1657 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1659 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1660 Guile's module system.
1662 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1664 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1665 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1666 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1667 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1668 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1669 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1671 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1672 '() when the condition is false.
1674 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1676 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1678 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1680 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1682 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1684 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1685 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1686 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1688 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1690 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1691 argument order for hash-fold.
1693 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1695 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1697 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1698 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1700 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1701 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1702 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1703 has been added to the load path).
1705 Use try-load-module.
1707 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1709 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1710 module between system and user state.
1712 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1714 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1716 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1719 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1721 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1722 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1723 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1725 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1727 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1728 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1729 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1730 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1731 stack frame encountered.
1733 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1734 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1735 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1736 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1739 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1740 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1741 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1742 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1745 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1746 define-module switches:
1748 (define-module (foo)
1751 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1754 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1755 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1756 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1757 module it is a system frame.
1759 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1760 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1761 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1762 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1763 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1765 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1766 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1767 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1768 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1769 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1770 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1772 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1773 status of a module.;
1774 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1775 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1777 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1778 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1779 closure to the module.
1781 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1783 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1785 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1787 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1789 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1791 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1793 Fix from Russ McManus:
1794 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1795 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1796 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1797 either an optional or required value.
1799 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1801 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1803 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1804 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1806 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1807 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1808 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1809 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1811 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1813 * optargs.scm: New file.
1814 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1815 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1817 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1819 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1820 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1821 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1823 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1825 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1826 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1829 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1831 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1833 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1835 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1836 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1837 applied to the module itself.
1839 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1841 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1843 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1844 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1846 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1848 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1850 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1852 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1854 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1856 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1857 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1859 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1861 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1862 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1863 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1864 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1865 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1866 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1867 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1869 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1871 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1872 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1874 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1876 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1877 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1880 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1882 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1884 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1886 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1888 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1890 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1891 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1892 adapt to the new hooks.
1894 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1896 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1897 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1898 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1900 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1901 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1903 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1904 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1905 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1906 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1907 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1908 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1909 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1910 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1911 first to register linked modules.
1913 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1914 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1915 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1917 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1918 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1919 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1920 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1922 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1924 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1927 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1928 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1929 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1931 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1933 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1934 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1935 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1937 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1939 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1940 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1941 result of the last form.
1943 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1945 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1948 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1950 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1951 readline-set!: New options interface.
1953 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1955 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1957 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1958 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1960 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1962 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1963 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1965 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1967 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1968 interactive session.
1969 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1971 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1972 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1974 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1976 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1978 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1980 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1981 read line was empty.
1983 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1985 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1986 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1988 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1990 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1992 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1993 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1994 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1996 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1997 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1999 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2000 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2001 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2003 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2004 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2005 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2006 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2007 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2008 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2010 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2012 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2013 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2015 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2017 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2018 and short vectors #h(...).
2020 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2022 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2023 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2024 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2026 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2028 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2029 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2030 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2032 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2034 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2035 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2037 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2038 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2039 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2040 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2042 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2044 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2047 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2048 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2049 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2050 context with traps enabled.
2052 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2054 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2056 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2058 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2060 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2061 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2062 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2063 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2064 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2066 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2068 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2069 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2071 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2073 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2075 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2077 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2079 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2081 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2083 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2085 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2086 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2088 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2090 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2091 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2092 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2093 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2096 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2097 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2098 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2100 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2102 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2103 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2104 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2105 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2106 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2107 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2108 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2110 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2112 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2114 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2116 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2117 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2118 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2119 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2120 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2121 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2123 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2125 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2126 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2127 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2130 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2132 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2134 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2136 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2138 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2140 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2143 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2145 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2147 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2149 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2150 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2152 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2154 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2155 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2156 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2157 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2159 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2160 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2162 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2164 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2166 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2168 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2169 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2172 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2173 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2175 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2176 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2177 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2179 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2181 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2183 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2185 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2186 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2188 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2190 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2192 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2194 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2195 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2197 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2199 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2202 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2204 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2205 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2207 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2209 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2211 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2213 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2216 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2218 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2219 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2220 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2221 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2222 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2225 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2227 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2228 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2229 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2231 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2233 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2235 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2236 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2238 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2240 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2241 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2242 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2243 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2244 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2245 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2246 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2249 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2251 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2254 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2256 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2257 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2258 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2259 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2260 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2261 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2263 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2265 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2266 usefully so they will work from a script.
2268 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2270 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2271 neighborhood of the record code.
2273 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2275 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2276 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2277 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2278 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2280 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2282 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2283 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2284 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2286 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2288 Add support for readline function.
2289 * readline.scm: New module.
2290 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2291 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2292 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2294 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2295 repl-reader to use them.
2296 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2298 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2300 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2302 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2303 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2305 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2307 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2308 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2309 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2311 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2313 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2314 #f, abort terminates the process.
2315 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2316 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2318 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2320 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2321 print-state, throw it away.
2323 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2325 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2328 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2330 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2331 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2332 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2333 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2335 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2336 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2338 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2340 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2342 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2344 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2345 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2346 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2347 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2348 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2350 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2351 distribution and installation.
2352 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2354 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2356 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2358 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2360 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2361 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2362 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2364 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2365 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2368 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2370 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2372 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2374 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2376 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2377 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2378 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2379 field a separate argument.
2381 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2383 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2385 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2387 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2391 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2393 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2395 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2397 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2398 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2399 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2400 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2401 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2402 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2404 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2405 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2406 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2407 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2408 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2411 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2413 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

2417 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2418 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2420 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2422 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2424 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2425 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2426 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2427 expansion inside the slib module.
2429 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2431 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2432 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

2437 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2439 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2440 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2441 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2443 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2444 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2447 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2449 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2450 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2452 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2454 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2455 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2456 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2457 mutator for module-associated transformer.

2459 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2460 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2461 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

2467 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2469 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2470 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2471 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2472 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2473 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2475 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2476 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2477 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2479 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2480 the syncase interface.
2482 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2484 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2485 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2486 workings of the current module system).
2488 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2490 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2491 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2502 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2503 according to the following priorities:
2504 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2505 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2507 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2508 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2509 (new-interpreter): New function.
2511 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2512 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2513 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2515 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2517 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2519 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2521 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

2525 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2527 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2529 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2531 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2532 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2535 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2537 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2538 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2539 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2540 symbols matching regexp.
2542 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2543 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2546 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2547 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2548 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2549 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2550 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2552 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2553 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2555 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2557 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

2577 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2579 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
2580 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

2589 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2590 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2591 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2593 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2594 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2597 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2598 order to narrow it correctly.
2599 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2608 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2610 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2612 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2613 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2615 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2617 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2618 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2619 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

2653 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2654 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2655 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2656 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2657 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2658 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2660 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2661 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2662 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2663 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2665 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2667 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2668 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2669 sending in bug reports.
2670 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2671 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2672 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2673 display a warning if the two are different.
2674 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2675 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2676 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2688 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2689 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2690 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2691 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2692 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2695 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2696 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2699 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2700 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2702 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2705 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc

2716 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2718 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2720 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2721 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2722 to support printing of structures.
2723 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2724 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2725 commented out printing code.
2726 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2727 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2729 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2731 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2733 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2735 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2736 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2737 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2738 during call to scm-style-repl.
2740 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2742 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2743 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2744 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2745 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2746 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2748 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2750 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2751 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2754 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2756 * regex.scm: New file.
2757 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2758 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2760 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2762 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2763 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2764 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2765 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2767 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2769 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2772 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2774 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2775 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2776 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2778 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2780 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2781 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2784 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2786 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2788 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2790 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2792 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2794 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2795 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2798 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2800 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2801 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2802 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2804 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2806 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2807 the Scheme code like code yet.
2808 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2810 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2812 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2813 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2814 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2816 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2818 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2820 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2823 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2825 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2827 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2829 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2831 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2832 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2833 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2835 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2837 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2838 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2839 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2841 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2843 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2844 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2846 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2848 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2851 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2853 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2855 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2857 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2858 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2860 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2862 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2863 instead of in libguile.
2864 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2865 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2867 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2869 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2871 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2872 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2874 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2876 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2877 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2879 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2881 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2882 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2883 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2884 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2886 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2888 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2889 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2891 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2893 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2895 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2897 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2898 keywords and symbols.
2900 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2902 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2904 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2905 Don't define read-sharp.
2907 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2908 (read-sharp): removed.
2909 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2910 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2912 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2914 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2916 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2917 primitive procedure.)
2919 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2920 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2922 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2924 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2926 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2928 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2930 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2932 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2934 * (exit): alias for quit.
2936 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2938 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2939 return the quit args.
2940 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2941 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2942 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2944 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2946 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2948 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2950 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2951 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2953 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2954 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2956 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2957 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2960 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2962 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2964 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2965 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2966 Change hooks to use these functions.
2968 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2969 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2970 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2972 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2973 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2974 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2975 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2976 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2977 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2978 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2981 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2982 and exit-frame exceptions.
2984 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2985 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2986 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2987 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2988 result; otherwise display "> ".
2989 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2991 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2992 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2993 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2994 repository version runnable.
2996 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2998 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2999 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3000 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3001 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3002 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3003 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3005 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3007 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3008 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3010 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3012 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3013 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3015 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3017 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3019 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3021 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3024 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3026 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3027 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3029 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3031 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3034 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3036 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3037 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3039 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3041 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3043 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3044 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3045 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3046 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3047 dynamic linking of modules.
3048 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3049 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3051 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3053 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3055 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3057 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3060 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3061 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3064 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3066 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3067 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3068 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3070 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3072 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3073 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3076 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3078 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3079 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3080 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3082 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3084 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3085 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3086 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3087 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3089 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3090 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3091 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3092 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3093 (such as the-scm-module).
3095 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3097 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3100 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3102 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3103 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3104 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3106 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3108 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3109 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3110 function, use it accordingly.
3112 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3114 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3115 function of no arguments.
3116 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3117 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3118 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3119 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3120 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3121 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3122 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3123 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3125 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3127 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3128 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3130 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3132 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3133 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3134 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3135 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3136 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3138 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3141 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3142 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3143 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3144 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3146 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3148 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3150 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3151 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3152 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3154 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3157 Added `before-read-hook'.
3159 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3161 (provide): New function.
3163 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3166 (backtrace): New function.
3168 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3169 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3170 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3171 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3172 is found in operator position in a frame.
3174 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3177 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3178 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3179 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3181 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3183 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3185 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3187 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3189 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3191 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3193 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3194 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3196 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3197 so they'll get distributed.
3199 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3200 should see as little clutter as possible.
3201 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3202 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3203 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3205 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3206 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3207 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3208 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3209 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3210 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3211 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3212 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3213 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3214 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3216 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3217 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3219 * test.scm: New file.
3221 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3222 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3223 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3225 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3226 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3228 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3230 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3231 call %load-announce.
3233 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3235 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3236 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3237 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3239 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3241 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3243 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3244 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3245 SCSH (which this isn't).
3247 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3249 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3251 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3253 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3254 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3255 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3257 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3258 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3259 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3260 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3263 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3265 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3267 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3269 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3270 error-catching-loop.
3271 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3272 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3273 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3275 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3276 error-catching-loop.
3278 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3280 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3281 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3282 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3283 should be '(), not #f.
3285 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3286 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3288 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3290 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3291 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3294 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3296 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3297 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3298 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3299 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3301 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3303 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3305 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3307 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3309 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3310 throw-handler-default.
3311 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3313 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3315 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3316 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3318 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3320 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3321 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3322 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3323 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3325 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3327 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3328 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3329 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3330 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3332 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3333 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3334 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3335 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3338 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3340 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3342 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3345 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3348 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3350 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3352 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3353 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3355 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3357 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3359 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3361 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3363 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3364 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3365 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3366 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3367 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3369 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3370 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3371 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3372 they seem redundant.
3373 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3374 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3375 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3376 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3377 directly files starting with "/").
3378 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3379 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3381 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3383 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3385 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3386 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3387 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3388 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3389 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3390 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3391 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3392 robust to just do it in the C code.
3394 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3396 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3397 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3398 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3399 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3400 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3402 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3404 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3405 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3406 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3408 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3410 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3411 system-error, not every kind of error.
3412 (scm-error): new procedure.
3414 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3416 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3418 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3420 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3421 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3422 of args are supplied.
3423 (%%system-errors): removed.
3424 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3425 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3426 %%handle-system-error.
3427 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3428 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3429 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3430 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3432 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3434 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3435 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3436 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3437 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3439 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3441 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3442 the empty list if they are #f.
3443 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3445 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3447 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3449 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3450 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3451 aborting, just the key and subr.
3452 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3453 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3454 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3456 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3458 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3459 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3460 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3461 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3462 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3464 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3466 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3467 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3468 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3469 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3471 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3473 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3474 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3475 initialize %load-path.
3477 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3478 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3480 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3482 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3483 Add the directory named after the version number.
3484 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3485 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3486 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3487 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3488 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3489 (install): Create the above directories.
3490 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3491 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3493 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3495 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3496 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3497 in the Makefile directly.
3498 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3500 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3502 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3503 here, where people expect to find them.
3505 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3507 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3508 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3510 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3512 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3514 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3515 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3517 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3519 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3520 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3522 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3523 weak-key-hash-table.
3525 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3527 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3528 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3529 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3530 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3531 (%open-file): removed.
3532 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3533 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3535 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3537 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3538 (manifest): Deleted.
3539 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3540 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3542 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3544 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3545 now that they throw errors directly.
3546 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3547 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3549 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3551 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3553 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3555 * The more things change...
