92 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

144 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.

227 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
228 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
229 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
230 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
231 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
232 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
233 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
235 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
237 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
238 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

242 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
245 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
247 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
250 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
252 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
254 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
256 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
257 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
258 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
259 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
260 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

266 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
267 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
268 make-shared-substring.
270 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
272 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
273 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
274 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
275 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
278 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
280 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
281 and open-output-pipe.
283 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
285 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
286 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
287 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
288 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
289 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
290 Pirotte for the bug report).
291 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
292 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
294 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
296 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

314 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
316 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
317 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
318 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
320 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
321 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
322 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
323 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
324 actual documentation entries themselves.
326 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
328 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
330 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

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

363 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
366 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

389 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
391 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
392 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
393 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
394 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
395 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
397 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
399 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

463 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber

493 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
495 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
496 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.

537 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
540 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
541 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
542 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
543 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
544 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
545 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
546 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive

563 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
564 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
565 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
566 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
567 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
568 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
570 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
572 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
573 accept complex numbers as parameter.

585 instead of remove-if when iterating.
586 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
587 delete-if! when iterating.
589 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
591 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
593 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
595 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
597 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
599 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
600 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
601 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
602 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
604 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
606 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
607 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
609 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
611 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
612 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
613 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
614 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
616 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
618 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
619 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
621 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
623 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
624 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
626 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
628 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
631 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
633 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
634 source of the numerous very short changes.
636 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
638 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
641 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
644 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
646 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
649 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
651 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
652 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
654 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
656 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
659 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
661 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
662 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
663 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
665 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
667 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
668 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
669 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
670 Narazaki for this change.
672 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
674 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
675 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
678 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
679 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
681 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
683 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
684 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
686 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
688 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
689 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
690 use define-public to export from the module.
692 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
694 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
695 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
696 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
698 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
700 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
702 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
704 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
705 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
707 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
709 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
711 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
713 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
715 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
717 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
718 long_long uniform vectors.
720 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
722 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
723 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
725 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
727 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
728 script to create generated files like this one.
730 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
732 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
733 available before using getpw and getuid.
734 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
735 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
737 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
738 check for .guile, instead of stat.
739 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
741 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
742 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
743 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
745 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
746 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
748 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
750 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
752 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
755 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
756 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
758 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
760 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
762 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
763 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
764 ("position"): New command.
765 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
766 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
767 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
768 to return a valid state.)
769 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
771 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
773 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
774 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
777 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
779 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
780 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
782 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
784 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
786 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
788 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
789 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
791 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
792 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
793 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
795 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
798 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
800 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
801 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
803 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
805 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
807 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
808 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
809 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
810 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
812 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
815 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
816 both forward and backward views of the stack
817 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
818 Use selector `frame-number';
819 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
820 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
822 Use readline conditionally.
824 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
826 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
827 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
828 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
830 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
831 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
834 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
836 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
838 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
840 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
842 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
844 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
846 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
847 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
848 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
849 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
850 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
851 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
852 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
853 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
854 libguile-config-stamp.
855 * version.scm.in: Delete.
856 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
857 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
858 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
859 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
861 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
863 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
864 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
865 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
867 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
868 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
869 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
870 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
873 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
875 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
877 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
879 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
881 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
882 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
884 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
886 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
887 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
888 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
889 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
890 objects starting with '#/'.
892 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
894 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
895 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
896 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
897 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
898 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
899 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
901 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
902 module-modified): New procedures.
903 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
904 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
906 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
908 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
911 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
913 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
914 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
915 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
917 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
920 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
922 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
923 at multiple calls to read.
924 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
925 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
926 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
927 continued-lines prompt.
929 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
932 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
934 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
935 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
937 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
939 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
940 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
943 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
945 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
946 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
948 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
949 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
950 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
951 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
952 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
955 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
957 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
958 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
960 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
962 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
963 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
964 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
965 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
967 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
969 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
971 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
972 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
973 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
976 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
978 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
979 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
980 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
981 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
982 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
983 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
984 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
985 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
986 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
987 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
988 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
990 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
992 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
993 peeked from the stream.
994 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
995 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
996 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
998 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1000 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1001 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1003 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1005 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1006 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1007 exiting repl with single control-D.
1009 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1011 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1012 error catching loop after quit received.
1013 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1015 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1016 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1017 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1019 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1020 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1022 * popen.scm: new file.
1024 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1026 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1027 (reverse-iota): removed.
1029 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1031 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1032 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1034 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1036 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1037 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1038 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1039 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1040 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1042 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1044 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1046 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1047 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1049 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1050 Guile's module system.
1052 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1054 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1055 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1056 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1057 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1058 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1059 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1061 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1062 '() when the condition is false.
1064 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1066 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1068 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1070 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1072 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1074 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1075 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1076 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1078 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1080 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1081 argument order for hash-fold.
1083 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1085 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1087 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1088 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1090 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1091 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1092 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1093 has been added to the load path).
1095 Use try-load-module.
1097 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1100 module between system and user state.
1102 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1104 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1106 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1109 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1111 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1112 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1113 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1115 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1117 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1118 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1119 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1120 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1121 stack frame encountered.
1123 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1124 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1125 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1126 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1129 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1130 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1131 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1132 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1135 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1136 define-module switches:
1138 (define-module (foo)
1141 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1144 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1145 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1146 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1147 module it is a system frame.
1149 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1150 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1151 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1152 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1153 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1155 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1156 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1157 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1158 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1159 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1160 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1162 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1163 status of a module.;
1164 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1165 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1167 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1168 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1169 closure to the module.
1171 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1173 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1175 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1177 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

1181 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1183 Fix from Russ McManus:
1184 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1185 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1186 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1187 either an optional or required value.
1189 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1191 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1193 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1194 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1196 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1197 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1198 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1199 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1201 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1203 * optargs.scm: New file.
1204 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1205 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1207 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1209 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1210 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1211 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1213 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1215 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1216 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1219 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1221 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1223 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1225 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1226 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1227 applied to the module itself.
1229 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1231 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1233 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1234 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1236 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1238 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1240 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1242 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1244 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1246 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1247 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1249 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1251 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1252 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1253 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1254 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1255 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1256 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1257 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1259 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1261 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1262 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1264 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1266 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1267 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1270 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1272 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1274 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1276 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1278 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1280 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1281 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1282 adapt to the new hooks.
1284 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1286 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1287 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1288 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1290 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1291 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1293 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1294 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1295 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1296 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1297 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1298 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1299 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1300 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1301 first to register linked modules.
1303 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1304 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1305 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1307 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1308 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1309 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1310 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1312 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1314 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1317 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1318 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1319 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1321 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1323 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1324 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1325 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1327 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1329 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1330 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1331 result of the last form.
1333 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1335 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1338 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1340 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1341 readline-set!: New options interface.
1343 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1345 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1347 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1348 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1350 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1352 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1353 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1355 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1357 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1358 interactive session.
1359 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1361 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1362 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1364 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1366 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1368 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1370 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1371 read line was empty.
1373 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1375 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1376 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1378 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1380 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1382 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1383 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1384 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1386 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1387 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1389 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1390 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1391 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1393 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1394 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1395 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1396 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1397 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1398 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1400 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1402 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1403 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1405 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1407 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1408 and short vectors #h(...).
1410 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1412 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1413 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1414 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1416 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1418 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1419 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1420 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1422 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1424 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1425 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1427 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1428 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1429 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1430 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1432 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1434 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1437 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1438 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1439 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1440 context with traps enabled.
1442 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1444 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1446 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1448 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1450 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1451 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1452 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1453 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1454 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1456 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1458 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1459 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1461 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1463 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1465 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1467 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1469 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1471 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1473 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1475 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1476 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1478 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1480 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1481 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1482 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1483 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1486 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1487 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1488 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1490 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1492 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1493 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1494 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1495 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1496 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1497 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1498 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1500 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1502 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1504 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1506 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1507 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1508 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1509 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1510 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1511 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1513 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1515 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1516 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1517 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1520 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1522 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1524 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1526 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1528 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1530 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1533 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1535 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1537 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1539 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1540 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1542 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1544 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1545 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1546 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1547 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1549 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1550 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1552 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1554 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1556 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1558 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1559 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1562 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1563 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1565 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1566 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1567 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1569 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1571 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1573 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1575 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1576 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1578 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1580 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1582 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1584 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1585 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1587 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1589 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1592 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1594 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1595 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1597 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1599 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1601 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1603 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1606 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1609 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1610 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1611 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1612 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1615 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1617 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1618 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1619 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1621 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1623 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1625 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1626 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1628 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1630 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1631 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1632 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1633 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1634 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1635 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1636 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1639 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1641 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1644 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1646 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1647 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1648 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1649 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1650 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1651 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1653 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1655 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1656 usefully so they will work from a script.
1658 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1660 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1661 neighborhood of the record code.
1663 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1665 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1666 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1667 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1668 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1670 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1672 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1673 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1674 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1676 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1678 Add support for readline function.
1679 * readline.scm: New module.
1680 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1681 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1682 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1684 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1685 repl-reader to use them.
1686 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1688 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1690 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1692 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,

1705 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1706 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1708 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1721 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1722 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1723 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a

1730 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1732 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1734 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1735 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1736 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1737 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1738 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1740 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

1751 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1752 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1754 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1755 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1758 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1760 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1762 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1764 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1766 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1767 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1768 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1769 field a separate argument.
1771 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1773 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1775 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1777 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1790 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1791 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1792 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1794 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1795 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1796 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1797 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1798 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1812 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1814 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1815 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1816 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1817 expansion inside the slib module.
1819 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1821 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

1831 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1833 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1834 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1837 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1839 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1840 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1842 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1844 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1845 (make-module): Modified initialization.

1857 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1859 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1860 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1861 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1862 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1863 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1865 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1866 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1867 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1869 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1870 the syncase interface.
1872 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1874 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1875 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1876 workings of the current module system).
1878 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1880 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1881 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1890 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1892 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1893 according to the following priorities:
1894 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1895 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1897 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1898 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1899 (new-interpreter): New function.
1901 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1902 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1903 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1905 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1907 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1909 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1911 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1933 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1936 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1940 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1942 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1943 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1945 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1947 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1948 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1950 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1951 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1953 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1955 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1957 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1958 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

1977 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1979 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1980 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1981 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1983 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1984 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1987 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1988 order to narrow it correctly.
1989 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1996 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1998 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2000 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2002 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2003 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2005 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2007 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2008 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2009 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2011 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2013 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2016 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2043 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2044 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2045 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2046 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2047 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2048 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2050 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2051 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2052 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2053 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2055 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2057 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2058 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2059 sending in bug reports.
2060 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2061 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2062 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2063 display a warning if the two are different.
2064 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2065 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2066 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2074 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2075 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2077 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2078 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2079 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2080 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2081 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2082 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2085 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2086 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2089 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2090 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2092 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2095 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2098 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2100 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2103 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2105 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2106 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2108 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2110 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2111 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2112 to support printing of structures.
2113 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2114 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2115 commented out printing code.
2116 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2117 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

2126 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2127 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2128 during call to scm-style-repl.
2130 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2132 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2133 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2134 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2135 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2136 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2138 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2140 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2141 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2144 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2146 * regex.scm: New file.
2147 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2148 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2153 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2154 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2155 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2157 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

2162 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2164 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2165 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2166 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2168 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2170 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2171 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2174 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2176 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2178 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2180 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2182 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2184 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2185 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2188 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2190 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2191 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2192 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2194 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2196 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2197 the Scheme code like code yet.
2198 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2200 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2202 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2203 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2204 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2206 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2208 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2210 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2213 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2215 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2217 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2219 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2221 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2222 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2223 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2225 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2227 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2228 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2229 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2231 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2233 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2234 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2236 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2238 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2241 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2243 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2245 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2247 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2248 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2250 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2252 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2253 instead of in libguile.
2254 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2255 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2257 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2259 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2261 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2262 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2264 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2266 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2267 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2269 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2271 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2272 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2273 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2274 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2276 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2278 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2279 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2281 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2283 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2285 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2287 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2288 keywords and symbols.
2290 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2292 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2294 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2295 Don't define read-sharp.
2297 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2298 (read-sharp): removed.
2299 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2300 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2302 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2304 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2306 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2307 primitive procedure.)
2309 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2310 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2312 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2314 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2316 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2318 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2320 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2322 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2324 * (exit): alias for quit.
2326 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2328 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2329 return the quit args.
2330 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2331 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2332 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2334 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2336 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2338 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2340 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2341 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2343 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2344 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2346 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2347 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2350 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2352 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2354 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2355 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2356 Change hooks to use these functions.
2358 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2359 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2360 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2362 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2363 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2364 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2365 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2366 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2367 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2368 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2371 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2372 and exit-frame exceptions.
2374 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2375 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2376 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2377 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2378 result; otherwise display "> ".
2379 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2381 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2382 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2383 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2384 repository version runnable.
2386 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2388 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2389 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2390 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2391 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2392 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2393 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2395 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2397 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2398 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2400 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2402 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2403 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2405 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2407 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2409 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2411 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2414 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2416 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2417 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2419 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2421 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2424 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2426 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2427 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2429 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2431 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2433 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2434 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2435 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2436 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2437 dynamic linking of modules.
2438 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2439 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2441 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2443 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2445 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2447 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2450 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2451 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2454 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2456 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2457 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2458 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2460 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2462 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2463 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2466 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2468 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2469 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2470 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2472 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2474 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2475 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2476 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2477 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2479 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2480 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2481 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2482 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2483 (such as the-scm-module).
2485 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2487 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2490 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2492 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2493 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2494 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2496 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2498 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2499 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2500 function, use it accordingly.
2502 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2504 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2505 function of no arguments.
2506 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2507 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2508 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2509 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2510 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2511 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2512 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2513 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2515 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2517 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2518 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2520 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2522 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2523 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2524 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2525 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2526 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2528 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2531 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2532 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2533 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2534 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2536 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2538 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2540 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2541 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2542 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2544 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2547 Added `before-read-hook'.
2549 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2551 (provide): New function.
2553 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2556 (backtrace): New function.
2558 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2559 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2560 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2561 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2562 is found in operator position in a frame.
2564 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2567 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2568 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2569 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2571 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2573 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2575 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2577 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2579 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2581 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2583 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2584 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2586 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2587 so they'll get distributed.
2589 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2590 should see as little clutter as possible.
2591 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2592 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2593 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2595 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2596 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2597 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2598 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2599 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2600 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2601 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2602 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2603 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2604 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2606 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2607 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2609 * test.scm: New file.
2611 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2612 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2613 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2615 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2616 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2618 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2620 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2621 call %load-announce.
2623 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2625 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2626 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2627 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2629 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2631 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2633 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2634 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2635 SCSH (which this isn't).
2637 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2639 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2641 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2643 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2644 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2645 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2647 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2648 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2649 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2650 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2653 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2655 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2657 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2659 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2660 error-catching-loop.
2661 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2662 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2663 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2665 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2666 error-catching-loop.
2668 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2670 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2671 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2672 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2673 should be '(), not #f.
2675 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2676 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2678 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2680 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2681 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2684 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2686 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2687 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2688 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2689 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2691 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2693 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2695 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2697 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2699 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2700 throw-handler-default.
2701 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2703 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2705 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2706 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2708 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2710 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2711 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2712 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2713 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2715 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2717 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2718 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2719 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2720 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2722 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2723 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2724 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2725 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2728 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2730 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2732 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2735 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2738 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2740 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2742 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2743 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2745 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2747 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2749 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2751 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2753 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2754 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2755 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2756 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2757 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2759 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2760 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2761 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2762 they seem redundant.
2763 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2764 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2765 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2766 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2767 directly files starting with "/").
2768 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2769 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2771 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2773 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2775 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2776 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2777 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2778 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2779 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2780 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2781 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2782 robust to just do it in the C code.
2784 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2786 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2787 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2788 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2789 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2790 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2792 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2794 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2795 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2796 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2798 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2800 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2801 system-error, not every kind of error.
2802 (scm-error): new procedure.
2804 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2806 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2808 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2810 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2811 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2812 of args are supplied.
2813 (%%system-errors): removed.
2814 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2815 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2816 %%handle-system-error.
2817 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2818 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2819 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2820 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2822 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2824 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2825 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2826 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2827 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2829 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2831 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2832 the empty list if they are #f.
2833 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2835 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2837 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2839 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2840 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2841 aborting, just the key and subr.
2842 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2843 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2844 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2846 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2848 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2849 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2850 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2851 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2852 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2854 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2856 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2857 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2858 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2859 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2861 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2863 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2864 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2865 initialize %load-path.
2867 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2868 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2870 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2872 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2873 Add the directory named after the version number.
2874 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2875 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2876 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2877 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2878 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2879 (install): Create the above directories.
2880 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2881 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2883 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2885 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2886 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2887 in the Makefile directly.
2888 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2890 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2892 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2893 here, where people expect to find them.
2895 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2897 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2898 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2900 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2902 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2904 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2905 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2907 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2909 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2910 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2912 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2913 weak-key-hash-table.
2915 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2917 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2918 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2919 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2920 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2921 (%open-file): removed.
2922 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2923 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2925 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2927 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2928 (manifest): Deleted.
2929 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2930 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2932 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2934 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2935 now that they throw errors directly.
2936 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2937 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2939 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2941 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2943 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2945 * The more things change...
