   3         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
   4         `guile-debugger' package ...
   5
   6         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
   7         - see comment in file for more details.
   8         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
   9         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
  10         (debug-stack): New.
  11         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
  12
  13         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
  14         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
  15         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
  16         breakpoint support ...
  17
  18         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.
  19         (make-state): Extend to optionally take flags.
  20         (state-flags): New, accessor for flags field.
  21         (set-state-index!, set-stack-index!): New.
  22         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
  23         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
  24
  25         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  26         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
  27         execution from a breakpoint.
  28
  29         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
  30         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
  31         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
  32         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint

  40
  41         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that

  43
  44 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
  45
  46         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
  47         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
  48         the-root-module.
  49
  50 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
  53         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and

  55         unmask-signals.
  56
  57 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

  63
  64         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
  65         >= 0.
  66
  67 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  68
  69         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to

  73

  78         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
  79
  80 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  81
  82         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
  83         that we can use define-syntax.

  85

  89         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
  90         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find

 121
 122         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

 124         exponents.
 125
 126 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 131
 132         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 154 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 155
 156         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 157         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 158         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 159
 160         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 161

 173
 174         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 175         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 176         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 177         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 178
 179 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 180
 181         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

 184         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 185         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 186

 188
 189         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

 191
 192 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 193

 197         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 198         positions.

 201
 202         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 203         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 204         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 205
 206         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 207           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,
 208           expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, ls.scm, mapping.scm,
 209           null.scm, optargs.scm, poe.scm, popen.scm, pretty-print.scm,
 210           q.scm, r5rs.scm, rdelim.scm, regex.scm, runq.scm, safe-r5rs.scm,

 212           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 213           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 214           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 215           exporting bindings.
 216
 217 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 220         :re-export-syntax
 221
 222 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 223
 224         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 225         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 226         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 227         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 228
 229 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 230
 231         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 232         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 233         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 234         builtin-variable.
 235

 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 239
 240 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 241
 242         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 243
 244         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 245
 246 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 247
 248         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 249         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 250
 251 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 252
 253         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 254         the `arglist' procedure property.
 255         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 256         present a more detailed argument list.
 257
 258         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 259
 260 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 261
 262         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 263         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 264         Skarda.
 265
 266 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 267
 268         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
 269
 270         (feature?): Deprecated.
 271
 272         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,
 273         eval-in-module, split-c-module-name,
 274         (convert-c-registered-modules, registered-modules,
 275         register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation, init-dynamic-module,
 276         dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 277         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 278         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 279         try-module-dynamic-link): Removed.
 280
 281         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
 282         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
 283

 285         functionality.
 286
 287         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 288         needed to trick export.
 289
 290 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 291
 292         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
 293
 294 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 295
 296         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 297
 298         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 299
 300 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 301
 302         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 303         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 304         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 305
 306 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 307
 308         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 309         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 310
 311 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 312
 313         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 321 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 322
 323         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
 324         last-command fluid is not yet set.
 325
 326 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 327
 328         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 329
 330         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'

 332         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 333
 334 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 335
 336         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 337         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 338
 339 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 340
 341         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 342         compile-psyntax.scm.
 343

 345
 346         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 347         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 348         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 349         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 350         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 351
 352 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 353
 354         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
 355         lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
 356         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 357
 358 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 359
 360         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 361         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 362
 363 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 364
 365         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 366         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 367         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 368         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 369
 370         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 371         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 372         since there aren't definitions for them.
 373
 374         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 375         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 376
 377 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 380         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 381
 382 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 385         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 386
 387 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 388
 389         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 390         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working

 415
 416         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 417         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 418
 419         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 420         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 421         evaluator trap options.)
 422

 441
 442         * match.scm:
 443         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.

 445         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 446
 447         (slib:error): Delete.
 448         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 449
 450         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

 459 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 462         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 463         rdelim) module.  See below.
 464
 465 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 466
 467         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if

 469
 470 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 471
 472         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 473         unknown objects.
 474
 475         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 476         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 477         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 478
 479         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 480         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 481         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 482         Köppe!
 483
 484 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 485
 486         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 487         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 488         variable, not just a visible one.
 489         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 490         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 491         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 492         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 493         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 494         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 495         variables.
 496         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 497
 498         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 499         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 500
 501 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 502
 503         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 504         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 505
 506 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 507
 508         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 509
 510 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 511
 512         Added exception notice to all files.
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 515         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 516         importing bindings once in a while.
 517
 518 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 519
 520         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 521         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 522         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 523         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 524         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 525         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 526         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 527         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 528         message.
 529         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 530         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 531
 532 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 533
 534         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 535         fix command so that it works.
 536
 537         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 538         to access unbound variables.
 539
 540         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 541         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 542         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 543         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 544         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 545
 546 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 547
 548         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 549         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 550         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 551         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 552         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 553         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 554         argument for process-define-module.
 555         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 556         arguments for process-use-modules.
 557         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 558
 559 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 560

 562         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 563         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 564         module.
 565
 566         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 567         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 568         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 569
 570         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

 584
 585         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 586         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 587         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 588
 589 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 592         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!

 597 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 598
 599         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 600         * match.scm: Likewise.
 601         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 602         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 603
 604         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 605
 606         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 607
 608         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 609         set-current-module.
 610         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 611         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 612         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 613         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 614         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 615         element list when adding "." to it.

 617         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 618

 620
 621         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 622         cleanup; nfc.
 623         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 624         now accepts arg; update callers.
 625         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 626         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 627
 628         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 629         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 630         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 631         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 632         `search-documentation-files'.
 633         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 634         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 636
 637         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 638         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 659         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 660
 661         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 662         the module obarray.
 663         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 664
 665         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 666         the magical undefined value.
 667         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 668         the default default for bindings.
 669
 670         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 671         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 672         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 673         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 674         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 676         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 677         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 678         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 679         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 680         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 681         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 682         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 683         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 684         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 685         `set-current-module' call.
 686         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 687         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 688
 689         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 690         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 722         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 723         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 724         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 725         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 726         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 727         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 728         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 729         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
 730         `provided?'.

1030         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1031
1032         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1033         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1034
1035         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1036         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

1038 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1041         in C for now.
1042         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1043         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1044
1045 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1046
1047         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1048         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1049         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1050         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.

1052         for now.

1056 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1057
1058         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1059         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1060         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1061         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1062         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1063         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1064         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

1072
1073         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings

1101 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1102
1103         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1104         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1105         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1106         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1107         scm-style-repl.

1114 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1115
1116         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1117         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1118         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1119         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1120         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1121         Pirotte for the bug report).
1122         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1123         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1142         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
1143         Jacques A. Vidrine.
1144
1145 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1146
1147         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1148         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1149         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1150
1151         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1152         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1153         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1154         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1155         actual documentation entries themselves.

1157 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1158
1159         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1160
1161 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1162
1163         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
1164
1165 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1166
1167         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
1168         Convert first argument to a string.
1169
1170         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1171         getter-and-setter-syntax,
1172         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1173         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1174
1175         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1176
1177         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1178
1179 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1180
1181         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1182
1183 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1186         `symbol-append'.
1187         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1188         args.
1189         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1190         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1191         even worked...  /mdj.
1192         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1193         `symbol->string'.
1194         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1195         semantics.
1196
1197 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198
1199         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
1200         form set!.
1201
1202 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1203
1204         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
1205         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
1206

1208
1209         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

1214
1215 2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1216
1217         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to
1218         Matthias Köppe.)
1219
1220 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1221
1222         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1223         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1224         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1225         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1226         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1227
1228         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1229
1230 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1231
1232         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
1233         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1234
1235         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1236         syntactic bindings.
1237
1238         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1239         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1240         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
1241         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1242
1243         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1244
1245         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1246         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1247
1248         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1249
1250         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1251         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1252
1253 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1254
1255         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1256         definition of module-type.
1257
1258         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1259
1260         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1261
1262         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1263         lines.
1264         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1265         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1266
1267 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1268
1269         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
1270
1271 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1272
1273         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
1274         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
1275         Mikael for the suggestion.
1276
1277 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1278
1279         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1280         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1281
1282 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1285         for export args.
1286
1287 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1288
1289         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
1290
1291 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1292
1293         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1294         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
1295         for the hint.
1296
1297         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
1298         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
1299         tail recursive yet.
1300
1301 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1302
1303         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1304         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1307         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1308         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1309         See NEWS.
1310         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1311
1312         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1313
1314 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1315
1316         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1317         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1318
1319 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1320
1321         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1322         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1323
1324 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1325
1326         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1327         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1328
1329 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1330
1331         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1332
1333         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1334
1335         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1336
1337 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1338
1339         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1340         '() instead of #f.
1341         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1342         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1343         `the-root-module'.
1344         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1345
1346         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1347         documentation.scm.
1348
1349         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1350         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1351         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1352         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1353         (help): Rewritten.
1354
1355         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1356
1357         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1358
1359 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1362         (write-all): Removed.
1363         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1364         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1365
1366 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1367
1368         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1369         `proc-documentation'
1370
1371         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1372         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1373         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1374         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1375         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1376         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1377         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1378         getter...)
1379
1380 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1383
1384 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1387         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1388         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1389         closure.
1390
1391 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1392
1393         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1394         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1395         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1396         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1397         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1398         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1399         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1400
1401 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1404         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1405
1406 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1407
1408         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1409         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1410
1411 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1412
1413         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1414         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1415         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1416         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1417         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1418         delete-if! when iterating.
1419
1420 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1421
1422         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1423
1424 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1425
1426         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1427
1428 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1429
1430         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1431         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1432         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1433         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1434
1435 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1436
1437         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1438         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1439
1440 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1441
1442         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1443         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1444         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1445         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1446
1447 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1448
1449         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1450         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1451
1452 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1453
1454         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1455         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1456
1457 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1458
1459         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1460         Dirk Hermann!
1461
1462 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1463
1464         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1465         source of the numerous very short changes.
1466
1467 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1468
1469         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1470         public.
1471
1472         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1473         info pages.
1474
1475 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1476
1477         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1478         from slib docs.
1479
1480 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1481
1482         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1483         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1484
1485 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1486
1487         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1488         to string-append.
1489
1490 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1491
1492         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1493         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1494         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1495
1496 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1497
1498         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1499         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1500         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1501         Narazaki for this change.
1502
1503 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1504
1505         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1506         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1507         %S.
1508
1509         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1510         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.

1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1515         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.

1518

1524
1525         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1526         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1527         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

1535         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1536         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1537
1538 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1539
1540         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.

1545
1546 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

1554         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1555
1556 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1557
1558         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1559         script to create generated files like this one.
1560
1561 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1562
1563         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1564         available before using getpw and getuid.
1565         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1566         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1567         check for stat.
1568         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1569         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1570         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1571         available.
1572         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1573         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1574         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1575
1576         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1577         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1578
1579         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.

1584         than 'exit-debugger.
1585
1586         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1587         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1588
1589         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

1609
1610         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1611         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1612
1613 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1614
1615         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1630
1631         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

1633
1634         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1635
1636 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1639         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1640         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1641         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1642
1643         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1644         argument.
1645
1646         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1647         both forward and backward views of the stack
1648         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1649         Use selector `frame-number';

1656
1657         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1658         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1659         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1660
1661         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1662         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1663         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1664
1665 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1666
1667         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1668
1669         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1670
1671         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1672
1673         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1674
1675 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1676
1677         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1678         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1679         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1680         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1681         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1682         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1683         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1684         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1685         libguile-config-stamp.
1686         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1687         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1688         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1689         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1690         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1691
1692 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1693
1694         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1695         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1696         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1697
1698         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1699         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1700         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1701         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1702         readline.
1703
1704         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1705
1706 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1707
1708         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1709
1710 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1711
1712         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1713         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1714
1715 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1716
1717         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1718         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1719         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1720         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1721         objects starting with '#/'.
1722
1723 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1724
1725         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1726         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1727         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1728         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1729         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1730         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1731         `observer-id'.
1732         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1733         module-modified): New procedures.
1734         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1735         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1736
1737 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1738
1739         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1740         defines.
1741
1742 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1743
1744         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1745         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1746         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1747
1748         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1749         position.
1750
1751 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1752
1753         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1754         at multiple calls to read.
1755         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1756         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1757         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1758         continued-lines prompt.
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1761         reading expressions.
1762
1763 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1764
1765         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1766         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1767
1768 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1769
1770         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1771         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1772         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1773
1774         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1775
1776         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1777         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1778
1779         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1780         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1781         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1782         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1783         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1784         instead of a port.
1785
1786 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1787
1788         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1789         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1790
1791         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1792
1793         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1794         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1795         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1796         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1797
1798         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1799
1800         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1801
1802         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1803         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1804         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1805         an alist.
1806
1807         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1808
1809         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1810         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1811         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1812         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1813         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1814         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1815         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1816         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1817         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1818         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1819         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1820
1821         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1822
1823         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1824         peeked from the stream.
1825         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1826         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1827         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1828
1829         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1830
1831         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1832         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1833
1834         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1835
1836         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1837         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1838         exiting repl with single control-D.
1839
1840         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1841
1842         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1843         error catching loop after quit received.
1844         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1845
1846         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1847         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1848         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1849
1850         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1851         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1852         boot-9.scm.
1853         * popen.scm: new file.
1854
1855 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1856
1857        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1858        (reverse-iota):  removed.

1860 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1861
1862         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1863         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1864
1865 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1866
1867         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1868         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1869         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1870         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1871         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1872
1873 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1874
1875         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1876
1877         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1878         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1879
1880         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1881         Guile's module system.
1882
1883         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1884         changes:
1885         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1886         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1887         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1888         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1889         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1890         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1891         modern CL behavior.
1892         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1893         '() when the condition is false.
1894
1895 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1896
1897         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1898
1899 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1900
1901         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1902
1903 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1906         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1907         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1908
1909 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1910
1911         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1912         argument order for hash-fold.
1913
1914 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1915
1916         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1917         resolve-module.
1918         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1919         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1920
1921         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1922         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1923         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1924         has been added to the load path).
1925
1926         Use try-load-module.
1927
1928 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1929
1930         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1931         module between system and user state.
1932
1933 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1934
1935         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1936
1937         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1938         definition.
1939
1940 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1941
1942         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1943         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1944         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1945
1946 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1947
1948         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1949         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1950         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1951         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1952         stack frame encountered.
1953
1954         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1955         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1956         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1957         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1958         list).]
1959
1960         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1961         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1962         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1963         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1964         please tell me!]
1965
1966         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1967         define-module switches:
1968
1969         (define-module (foo)
1970           :no-backtrace)
1971
1972         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1973         modules.
1974
1975         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1976         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1977         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1978         module it is a system frame.
1979
1980         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1981         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1982         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1983         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1984         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1985
1986         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1987         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1988         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1989         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1990         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1991         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1992
1993         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1994         status of a module.;
1995         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1996         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1997
1998         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1999         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2000         closure to the module.
2001
2002         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2003
2004 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2005

2011
2012 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2013
2014         Fix from Russ McManus:
2015         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2016         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2017         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2018         either an optional or required value.
2019
2020 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2021
2022         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2023
2024         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2025         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2026
2027         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2028         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2029         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2030         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2031
2032 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2033
2034         * optargs.scm: New file.
2035         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2036         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2037
2038 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2039
2040         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2041         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2042         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2043
2044 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2045
2046         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2047         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2048         for isn't loaded.
2049
2050 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2051
2052         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2053
2054 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2057         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2058         applied to the module itself.
2059
2060 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2061
2062         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2063
2064         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2065         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2066
2067 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2068
2069         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2071 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2072
2073         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2074
2075 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2076
2077         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2078         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2079
2080 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2081
2082         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2083         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2084         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2085         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2086         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2087         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2088         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2089
2090 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2091
2092         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2093         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2094
2095 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2096
2097         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2098         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2099         static libraries.
2100
2101 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2102
2103         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2104
2105 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2106
2107         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2108
2109 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2110
2111         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2112         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2113         adapt to the new hooks.
2114
2115 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2116
2117         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2118         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2119         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2120         code.
2121         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2122         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2123
2124         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2125         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2126         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2127         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2128         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2129         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2130         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2131         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2132         first to register linked modules.
2133
2134         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2135         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2136         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2139         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2140         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2141         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2142
2143         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2144         to use from C:
2145         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2146         libguile/feature.c.
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2149         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2150         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2151
2152 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2153
2154         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2155         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2156         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2157
2158 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2159
2160         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2161         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2162         result of the last form.
2163
2164 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2165
2166         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2167         syncase.scm.
2168
2169         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2170
2171         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2172         readline-set!: New options interface.
2173
2174         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2175
2176 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2177
2178         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2179         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2180
2181 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2184         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2185
2186 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2189         interactive session.
2190         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2191
2192         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2193         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2194
2195 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2196
2197         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2198
2199 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2200
2201         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2202         read line was empty.
2203
2204 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2205
2206         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2207         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2208
2209         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2210
2211         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2212         problem.  Duh.
2213         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2214         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2215         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2218         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2219         into...
2220         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2221         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2222         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2223
2224         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2225         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2226         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2227         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2228         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2229         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2230         psyntax.ss.
2231         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2232
2233         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2234         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2235
2236 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2239         and short vectors #h(...).
2240
2241 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2242
2243         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2244         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2245         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2246
2247 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2248
2249         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2250         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2251         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2252
2253 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2254
2255         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2256         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2257
2258         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2259         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2260         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2261         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2262
2263 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2264
2265         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2266         trace flag.
2267
2268         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2269         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2270         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2271         context with traps enabled.
2272
2273 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2276         module.
2277         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2278
2279 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2280
2281         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2282         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2283         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2284         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2285         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2286
2287 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2288
2289         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2290         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2291
2292 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2293
2294         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2295
2296 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2297
2298         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2299
2300 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2301
2302         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2303
2304 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2305
2306         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2307         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2308
2309 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2310
2311         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2312         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2313         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2314         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2315         Archibald.)
2316
2317         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2318         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2319         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2320
2321 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2322
2323         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2324         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2325         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2326         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2327         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2328         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2329         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2330
2331 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2332
2333         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2334
2335 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2336
2337         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2338         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2339         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2340         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2341         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2342         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2343
2344 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2345
2346         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2347         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2348         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2349         Steven G. Johnson.)
2350
2351 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2352
2353         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2354
2355 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2356
2357         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2358
2359 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2360
2361         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2362         be completed.
2363
2364 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2365
2366         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2367
2368 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2369
2370         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2371         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2372
2373 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2374
2375         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2376         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2377         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2378         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2379         transformer.
2380         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2381         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2382
2383 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2384
2385         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2386
2387 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2388
2389         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2390         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2391         completion.
2392
2393         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2394         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2395
2396         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2397         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2398         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2399
2400         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2401
2402 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2403
2404         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2405
2406         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2407         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2408
2409 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2410
2411         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2412
2413 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2414
2415         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2416         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2417
2418         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2419
2420         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2421         obsolete.
2422
2423 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2424
2425         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2426         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2427
2428 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2429
2430         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2431
2432 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2435         Stachowiak.)
2436
2437 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2438
2439         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2440         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2441         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2442         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2443         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2444         threads.
2445
2446 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2447
2448         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2449         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2450         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2451
2452 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2453
2454         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2455
2456         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2457         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2458
2459 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2460
2461         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2462         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2463         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2464         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2465         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2466         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2467         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2468         to go here.
2469
2470 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2471
2472         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2473         is now a fluid.
2474
2475 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2476
2477         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2478         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2479         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2480         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2481         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2482         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2483
2484 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2485
2486         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2487         usefully so they will work from a script.
2488
2489 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2490
2491         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2492         neighborhood of the record code.
2493
2494 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2495
2496         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2497         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2498         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2499         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2500
2501 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2502
2503         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2504         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2505         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2506
2507 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2508
2509         Add support for readline function.
2510         * readline.scm: New module.
2511         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2512         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2513         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2514         anything.
2515         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2516         repl-reader to use them.
2517         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2518
2519         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2520
2521 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2522
2523         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2524         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2525
2526 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2527
2528         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2529         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2530         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2531
2532 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2533
2534         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2535         #f, abort terminates the process.
2536         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2537         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2538
2539 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2540
2541         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2542         print-state, throw it away.
2543
2544 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2545
2546         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2547         `0'.
2548
2549 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2550
2551         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2552         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2553         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2554         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2555         user field).
2556         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2557         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2558
2559 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2560
2561         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2562
2563 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2564
2565         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2566         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2567         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2568         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2569         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in

2580
2581         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2582         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2583         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2584
2585         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2586         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2587         symbol.

2598         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2599         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2600         field a separate argument.
2601
2602         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.

2618         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2619         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2620         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2621         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2622         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2623         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2624         registered.
2625         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2626         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2627         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2628         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2629         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

2642
2643         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2644
2645         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2646         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2647         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2648         expansion inside the slib module.
2649
2650         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2659
2660         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2661         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2662         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2663         source.
2664         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2665         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2666         been loaded.
2667
2668 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2682         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2683         module.
2684         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2685
2686 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2687
2688         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2689
2690         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2691         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2692         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2693         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2694         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2696         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2697         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

2701         the syncase interface.

2704
2705         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2706         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2707         workings of the current module system).
2708
2709 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2710
2711         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2722
2723         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2724         according to the following priorities:
2725         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2726         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2727         3. tcl bindings
2728         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2729         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2730         (new-interpreter): New function.
2731
2732         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2733         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2734         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2751
2752         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2753         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2754         source!
2755
2756 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2764         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2765         in stack-ref).
2766
2767         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2768         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2769         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2770         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2771         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2772         result protocol;

2787
2788         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2789         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2790         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2791
2792         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

2809
2810         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2811         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2812         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2813
2814         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2815         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at

2837
2838         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2839         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2840         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

2875         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2876         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2877         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2878         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2879         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2880
2881         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2882         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2883         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2884         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

2887
2888         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2889         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2890         sending in bug reports.
2891         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2892         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2893         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2894         display a warning if the two are different.

2907
2908         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2909         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2910         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2911         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2912         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2913         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2914         that's okay.
2915
2916         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2917         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2918         regexp interface.
2919
2920         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2921         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2922
2923         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2924         function names.
2925
2926         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2927         fixes.
2928
2929 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2930
2931         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2932         ../configure.in.
2933
2934 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2935
2936         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2937         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2938
2939 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2940
2941         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2942         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2943         to support printing of structures.
2944         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2945         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2946         commented out printing code.
2947         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2948         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2949
2950 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2951
2952         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2953
2954 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2955
2956         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2957         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2958         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2959         during call to scm-style-repl.
2960
2961 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2962
2963         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2964         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2965         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2966         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2967         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2968
2969 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2970
2971         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2972         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2973         (ice-9 regex).
2974
2975 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2976
2977         * regex.scm: New file.
2978         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2979         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2980
2981 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2982
2983         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2984         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2985         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

2989
2990         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2991         in 1997.
2992
2993 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2994
2995         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2996         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2997         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2998
2999 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3000
3001         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3002         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3003         here.
3004
3005 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3006
3007         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3008
3009 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3010
3011         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3012
3013 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3014
3015         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3016         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3017         fixes this too.
3018
3019 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3020
3021         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3022         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3023         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3024
3025 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3026
3027         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3028         the Scheme code like code yet.
3029         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3030
3031 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3032
3033         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3034         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3035         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3036
3037 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3038
3039         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3040         use-modules macro
3041         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3042         can't be found.
3043
3044 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3045
3046         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3047
3048 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3049
3050         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3051
3052         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3053         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3054         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3055
3056 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3057
3058         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3059         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3060         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3061
3062         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3063         no plugins.
3064         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3065         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3066
3067 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3068
3069         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3070         functions.
3071
3072 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3073
3074         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3075
3076 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3077
3078         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3079         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3080
3081 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3082
3083         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3084         instead of in libguile.
3085         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3086         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3087
3088 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3089
3090         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3091         procedures.
3092         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3093         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3094
3095 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3096
3097         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3098         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3099
3100 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3101
3102         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3103         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3104         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3105         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3106
3107 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3108
3109         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3110         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3111
3112 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3113
3114         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3115
3116 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3117
3118         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3119         keywords and symbols.
3120
3121 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3122
3123         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3124
3125         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3126         Don't define read-sharp.
3127
3128         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3129         (read-sharp): removed.
3130         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3131         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3132
3133 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3134
3135         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3136
3137         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3138         primitive procedure.)
3139
3140         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3141         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3142
3143 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3144
3145         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3146
3147 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3148
3149         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3150
3151 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3152
3153         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3154         read gets EOF.
3155         * (exit): alias for quit.
3156
3157 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3158
3159         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3160         return the quit args.
3161         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3162         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3163         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3164
3165         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3166
3167 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3168
3169         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3170
3171         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3172         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3173
3174         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3175         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3176
3177         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3178         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3179         of handlers.
3180
3181 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3182
3183         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3184
3185         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3186         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3187         Change hooks to use these functions.
3188
3189         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3190         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3191         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3192         the source! :-)
3193         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3194         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3195         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3196         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3197         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3198         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3199         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3200         traced.
3201
3202         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3203         and exit-frame exceptions.
3204
3205         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3206         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3207         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3208         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3209         result; otherwise display "> ".
3210         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3211
3212         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3213         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3214         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3215         repository version runnable.
3216
3217 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3218
3219         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3220         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3221         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3222         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3223         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3224         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3225
3226 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3227
3228         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3229         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3230         and eval.
3231         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3232         "defined?".
3233         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3234         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3235
3236 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3237
3238         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3239
3240 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3241
3242         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3243         %read-sharp layer.
3244
3245 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3246
3247         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3248         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3249
3250 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3251
3252         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3253         backtrace.c.)
3254
3255 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3256
3257         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3258         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3259
3260 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3261
3262         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3263
3264         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3265         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3266         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3267         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3268         dynamic linking of modules.
3269         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3270         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3271
3272 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3273
3274         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3275
3276 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3277
3278         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3279         that's what it is.
3280
3281         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3282         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3283         was false.
3284
3285 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3286
3287         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3288         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3289         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3290
3291 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3292
3293         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3294         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3295         yet.
3296
3297 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3298
3299         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3300         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3301         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3302
3303 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3304
3305         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3306         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3307         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3308         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3309
3310         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3311         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3312         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3313         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3314         (such as the-scm-module).
3315
3316 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3317
3318         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3319         %search-load-path.
3320
3321 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3322
3323         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3324         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3325         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3326
3327 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3330         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3331         function, use it accordingly.
3332
3333 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3334
3335         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3336         function of no arguments.
3337         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3338         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3339         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3340         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3341         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3342         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3343         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3344         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3345
3346 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3347
3348         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3349         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3350
3351 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3352
3353         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3354         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3355         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3356         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3357         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3358
3359         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3360         `*features*'.
3361
3362         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3363         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3364         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3365         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3366
3367         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3368
3369         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3370
3371         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3372         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3373         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3374
3375         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3376         error.
3377
3378         Added `before-read-hook'.
3379
3380         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3381
3382         (provide): New function.
3383
3384         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3385         in backtraces.
3386
3387         (backtrace): New function.
3388
3389         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3390         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3391         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3392         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3393         is found in operator position in a frame.
3394
3395         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3396         by default.
3397
3398         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3399         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3400         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3401
3402         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3403
3404         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3405
3406         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3407
3408         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3409
3410 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3411
3412         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3413
3414         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3415         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3416
3417         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3418         so they'll get distributed.
3419
3420         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3421         should see as little clutter as possible.
3422         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3423         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3424         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3425
3426         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3427         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3428         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3429         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3430         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3431         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3432         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3433         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3434         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3435         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3436         that are not.
3437         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3438         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3439
3440         * test.scm: New file.
3441
3442         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3443         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3444         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3445
3446         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3447         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3448
3449         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3450         work now.
3451         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3452         call %load-announce.
3453
3454 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3455
3456         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3457         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3458         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3459         components.
3460         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3461
3462 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3463
3464         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3465         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3466         SCSH (which this isn't).
3467
3468 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3469
3470         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3471
3472 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3473
3474         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3475         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3476         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3477         these.
3478         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3479         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3480         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3481         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3482         save-stack.
3483
3484 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3485
3486         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3487
3488         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3489
3490         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3491         error-catching-loop.
3492         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3493         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3494         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3495
3496         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3497         error-catching-loop.
3498
3499 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3500
3501         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3502         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3503         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3504         should be '(), not #f.
3505
3506         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3507         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3508
3509 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3510
3511         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3512         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3513         error-signal.
3514
3515 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3516
3517         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3518         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3519         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3520         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3521
3522 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3523
3524         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3525
3526 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3527
3528         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3529
3530         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3531         throw-handler-default.
3532         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3533         reported.
3534         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3535         acro.
3536         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3537         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3538
3539 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3540
3541         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3542         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3543         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3544         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3545
3546 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3547
3548         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3549         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3550         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3551         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3552         ...))
3553         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3554         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3555         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3556         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3557         file-is-directory?
3558
3559 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3560
3561         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3562
3563         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3564         distribution.
3565
3566         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3567         `switch-repl'.
3568
3569         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3570
3571 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3572
3573         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3574         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3575
3576 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3577
3578         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3579
3580         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3581
3582 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3583
3584         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3585         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3586         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3587         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3588         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3589
3590         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3591         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3592         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3593         they seem redundant.
3594         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3595         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3596         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3597         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3598         directly files starting with "/").
3599         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3600         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3601
3602         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

3605
3606         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3607         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3608         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3609         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3610         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3611         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3612         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3613         robust to just do it in the C code.

3616
3617         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3618         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3619         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3620         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3621         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

3626         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3627         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).

3629 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3630
3631         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3632         system-error, not every kind of error.

3640
3641         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3642         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3643         of args are supplied.
3644         (%%system-errors): removed.
3645         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3646         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3647         %%handle-system-error.
3648         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3649         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3650         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3651         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3652
3653 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3654
3655         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3656         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3657         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3658         %S (embed an argument using "write").

3664         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3665
3666 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3667
3668         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3669
3670         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3671         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3672         aborting, just the key and subr.
3673         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3674         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3675         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

3678
3679         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3680         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3681         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3682         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3683         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3696         initialize %load-path.
3697
3698         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3699         "/", use one to separate it from the file.

3715
3716         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3717         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3718         in the Makefile directly.
3719         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3720         for these.
