ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
   4
   5         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
   6         primitive procedure.)
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
   9         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
  10
  11 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
  14
  15 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
  18         read gets EOF.
  19         * (exit): alias for quit.
  20
  21 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  22
  23         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
  24         return the quit args.
  25         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
  26         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
  27         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
  28
  29         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
  30
  31 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
  34
  35         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
  36         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
  39         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
  40
  41         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
  42         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
  43         of handlers.
  44
  45 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  46
  47         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
  48
  49         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
  50         (add-hooks!): New macro.
  51         Change hooks to use these functions.
  52
  53 *       * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
  54         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
  55         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
  56         the source! :-)
  57         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
  58         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
  59         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
  60         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
  61         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
  62         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
  63         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
  64         traced.
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
  67         and exit-frame exceptions.
  68
  69 *       * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
  70         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
  71         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
  72         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
  73         result; otherwise display "> ".
  74         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
  75
  76         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
  77         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
  78         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
  79         repository version runnable.
  80
  81 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  82
  83         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
  84         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
  85         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
  86         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
  87         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
  88         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
  89
  90 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
  93         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
  94         and eval.
  95         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
  96         "defined?".
  97         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
  98         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
  99
 100 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 101
 102         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 103
 104 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 105
 106         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 107         %read-sharp layer.
 108
 109 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 110
 111         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 112         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 113
 114 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 115
 116         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 117         backtrace.c.)
 118
 119 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 120
 121         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 122         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 123
 124 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 125
 126         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 127
 128         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 129         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 130         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 131         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 132         dynamic linking of modules.
 133         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 134         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 135
 136 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 139
 140 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 141
 142         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 143         that's what it is.
 144
 145         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 146         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 147         was false.
 148
 149 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 150
 151 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 152         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 153         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 154
 155 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 158         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 159         yet.
 160
 161 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 162
 163         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 164         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 165         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 166
 167 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 168
 169         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 170         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 171         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 172         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 173
 174         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 175         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 176         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 177         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 178         (such as the-scm-module).
 179
 180 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 181
 182         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 183         %search-load-path.
 184
 185 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 186
 187         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 188         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 189         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 190
 191 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 192
 193         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 194         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 195         function, use it accordingly.
 196
 197 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 198
 199         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 200         function of no arguments.
 201         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 202         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 203         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 204         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 205         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 206         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 207         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 208         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 209
 210 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 211
 212         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 213         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 214
 215 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 218         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 219         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 220         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 221         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 222
 223         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 224         `*features*'.
 225
 226         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 227         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 228         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 229         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 230
 231         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 232
 233         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 234
 235         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 236         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 237         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 238
 239         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 240         error.
 241
 242         Added `before-read-hook'.
 243
 244         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 245
 246         (provide): New function.
 247
 248         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 249         in backtraces.
 250
 251         (backtrace): New function.
 252
 253         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 254         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 255         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 256         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 257         is found in operator position in a frame.
 258
 259         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 260         by default.
 261
 262         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 263         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 264         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 265
 266         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 267
 268         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 269
 270         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 271
 272         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 273
 274 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 275
 276         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 279         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 280
 281         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 282         so they'll get distributed.
 283
 284         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 285         should see as little clutter as possible.
 286         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 287         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 288         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 289
 290         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 291         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 292         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 293         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 294         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 295         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 296         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 297         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 298         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 299         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 300         that are not.
 301         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 302         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 303
 304         * test.scm: New file.
 305
 306         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 307         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 308         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 309
 310         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 311         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 312
 313         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 314         work now.
 315         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 316         call %load-announce.
 317
 318 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 319
 320         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 321         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 322         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 323         components.
 324         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 325
 326 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 327
 328         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 329         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 330         SCSH (which this isn't).
 331
 332 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 333
 334         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 335
 336 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 337
 338         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 339         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 340         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 341         these.
 342         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 343         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 344         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 345         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 346         save-stack.
 347
 348 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 349
 350         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 351
 352         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 353
 354         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 355         error-catching-loop.
 356         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 357         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 358         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.

 360         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 361         error-catching-loop.

 364
 365         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 366         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 367         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 368         should be '(), not #f.
 369
 370         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 371         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 372
 373 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 374
 375         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 376         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 377         error-signal.
 378
 379 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 380
 381         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 382         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 383         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 384         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 385
 386 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 387
 388         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 389
 390 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 391
 392         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 395         throw-handler-default.
 396         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 397         reported.
 398         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 399         acro.
 400         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 401         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
 402
 403 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 404
 405         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 406         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 407         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 408         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 409
 410 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 411
 412         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 413         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 414         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 415         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 416         ...))
 417         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 418         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 419         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 420         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 421         file-is-directory?
 422
 423 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 424
 425         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 426
 427         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 428         distribution.
 429
 430         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 431         `switch-repl'.
 432
 433         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 434
 435 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 438         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 439
 440 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 441
 442         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 443
 444         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 445
 446 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 449         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 450         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 451         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 452         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 453
 454         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 455         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 456         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 457         they seem redundant.
 458         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 459         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 460         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 461         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 462         directly files starting with "/").
 463         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 464         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 465
 466         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 467
 468 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 471         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 472         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 473         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 474         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 475         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 476         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 477         robust to just do it in the C code.
 478
 479 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 482         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 483         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 484         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 485         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 486
 487 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 488
 489         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 490         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 491         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 492
 493 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 494
 495         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 496         system-error, not every kind of error.
 497         (scm-error): new procedure.
 498
 499 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 500
 501         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 502
 503 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 504
 505         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 506         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 507         of args are supplied.
 508         (%%system-errors): removed.
 509         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 510         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 511         %%handle-system-error.
 512         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 513         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 514         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 515         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 516
 517 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 518
 519         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 520         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 521         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 522         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 523
 524 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 525
 526         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 527         the empty list if they are #f.
 528         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 529
 530 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 531
 532         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 533
 534         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 535         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 536         aborting, just the key and subr.
 537         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 538         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 539         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 540
 541 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 542
 543         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 544         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 545         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 546         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 547         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 548
 549 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 550
 551         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 552         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 553         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 554         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.

 557
 558         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 559         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 560         initialize %load-path.
 561
 562         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 563         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 564
 565 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 566
 567         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 568         Add the directory named after the version number.
 569         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 570         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 571         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 572         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 573         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

 578 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 579
 580         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 581         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 582         in the Makefile directly.
 583         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 584         for these.
 585         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 586         aux_files.
 587         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 588         here, where people expect to find them.

 623         (manifest): Deleted.
 624         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

 628
 629         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
 630         now that they throw errors directly.
 631         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
 632         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
 633
