ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   2
   3         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
   4
   5         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for ativating readline.
   6
   7         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
   8
   9         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  10
  11 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  12
  13         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
  14         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
  15         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
  16         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
  17         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
  18         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
  19         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
  20         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
  21         libguile-config-stamp.
  22         * version.scm.in: Delete.
  23         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
  24         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
  25         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
  26         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
  27
  28 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  29
  30 *       * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
  31         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
  32         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
  33         Use readline conditionally.
  34
  35 *       * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
  36         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
  37         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
  38         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
  39         readline.
  40
  41         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
  42
  43 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
  44
  45         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
  46
  47 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  48
  49         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
  50         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
  51
  52 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
  53
  54         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
  55         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
  56         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
  57         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
  58         objects starting with '#/'.
  59
  60 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
  61
  62         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
  63         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
  64         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
  65         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
  66         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
  67         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
  68         `observer-id'.
  69         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
  70         module-modified): New procedures.
  71         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
  72         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
  73
  74 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  75
  76         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
  77         defines.
  78
  79 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
  80
  81         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
  82         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
  83         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
  86         position.
  87
  88 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
  89
  90         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
  91         at multiple calls to read.
  92         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
  93         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
  94         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
  95         continued-lines prompt.
  96
  97         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
  98         reading expressions.
  99
 100 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 101
 102         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 103         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 104
 105 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 106
 107         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 108         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 109         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 110
 111         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 112
 113         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 114         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 115
 116         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 117         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 118         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 119         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 120         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 121         instead of a port.
 122
 123 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 124
 125         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 126         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 127
 128         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 129
 130         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 131         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 132         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 133         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 134
 135         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 136
 137         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 138
 139         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 140         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 141         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 142         an alist.
 143
 144         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 145
 146         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 147         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 148         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 149         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 150         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 151         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 152         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 153         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 154         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 155         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 156         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 157
 158         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 159
 160         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 161         peeked from the stream.
 162         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 163         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 164         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 165
 166         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 167
 168         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 169         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 170
 171         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 174         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 175         exiting repl with single control-D.
 176
 177         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 180         error catching loop after quit received.
 181         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 182
 183         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 184         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 185         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 188         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 189         boot-9.scm.
 190         * popen.scm: new file.
 191
 192 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 193
 194        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 195        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 196
 197 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 198
 199         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 200         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 201
 202 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 203
 204         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 205         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 206         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 207         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 208         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 209
 210 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 213
 214         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 215         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 216
 217         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 218         Guile's module system.
 219
 220         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 221         changes:
 222         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 223         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 224         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 225         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 226         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 227         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 228         modern CL behavior.
 229         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 230         '() when the condition is false.
 231
 232 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 233
 234         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 235
 236 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 239
 240 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 241
 242         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 243         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 244         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 245
 246 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 247
 248         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 249         argument order for hash-fold.
 250
 251 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 252
 253         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 254         resolve-module.
 255         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 256         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 257
 258         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 259         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 260         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 261         has been added to the load path).
 262
 263         Use try-load-module.
 264
 265 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 266
 267         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 268         module between system and user state.
 269
 270 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 271
 272         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 273
 274         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 275         definition.
 276
 277 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 278
 279         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 280         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 281         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 282
 283 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 284
 285         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 286         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 287         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 288         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 289         stack frame encountered.
 290
 291         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 292         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 293         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 294         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 295         list).]
 296
 297         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 298         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 299         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 300         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 301         please tell me!]
 302
 303         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 304         define-module switches:
 305
 306         (define-module (foo)
 307           :no-backtrace)
 308
 309         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 310         modules.
 311
 312         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 313         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 314         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 315         module it is a system frame.
 316
 317         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 318         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 319         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 320         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 321         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 322
 323         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 324         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 325         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 326         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 327         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 328         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 331         status of a module.;
 332         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 333         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 334
 335         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 336         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 337         closure to the module.
 338
 339         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 340
 341 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 342
 343         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 344
 345 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 346
 347         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 348
 349 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 350
 351         Fix from Russ McManus:
 352         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 353         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 354         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 355         either an optional or required value.
 356
 357 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 358
 359         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 360
 361         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 362         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 363
 364         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 365         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 366         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 367         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 368
 369 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 370
 371         * optargs.scm: New file.
 372         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 373         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 374
 375 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 376
 377         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 378         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 379         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 380
 381 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 382
 383         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 384         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 385         for isn't loaded.
 386
 387 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 388
 389         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 390
 391 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 392
 393         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 394         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 395         applied to the module itself.
 396
 397 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 398
 399         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 400
 401         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 402         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 403
 404 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 405
 406         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 407
 408 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 409
 410         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 411
 412 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 413
 414         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 415         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 416
 417 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 418
 419         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 420         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 421         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 422         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 423         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 424         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 425         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 426
 427 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 428
 429         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 430         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 431
 432 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 433
 434         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 435         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 436         static libraries.
 437
 438 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 439
 440         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 441
 442 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 443
 444         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 445
 446 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 447
 448         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 449         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 450         adapt to the new hooks.
 451
 452 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 453
 454         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 455         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 456         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 457         code.
 458         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 459         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 462         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 463         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 464         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 465         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 466         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 467         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 468         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 469         first to register linked modules.
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 472         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 473         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 476         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 477         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 478         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 479
 480         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 481         to use from C:
 482         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 483         libguile/feature.c.
 484
 485         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 486         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 487         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 488
 489 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 490
 491         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 492         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 493         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 494
 495 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 498         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 499         result of the last form.
 500
 501 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 502
 503         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 504         syncase.scm.
 505
 506         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 507
 508         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 509         readline-set!: New options interface.
 510
 511         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 512
 513 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 514
 515         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 516         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 517
 518 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 519
 520         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 521         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 522
 523 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 524
 525         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 526         interactive session.
 527         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 528
 529         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 530         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 531
 532 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 533
 534         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 535
 536 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 537
 538         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 539         read line was empty.
 540
 541 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 542
 543         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 544         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 545
 546         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 547
 548         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 549         problem.  Duh.
 550         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 551         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 552         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 553
 554         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 555         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 556         into...
 557         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 558         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 559         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 560
 561         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 562         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 563         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 564         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 565         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 566         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 567         psyntax.ss.
 568         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 569
 570         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 571         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 572
 573 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 574
 575         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 576         and short vectors #h(...).
 577
 578 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 579
 580         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 581         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 582         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 583
 584 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 585
 586         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 587         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 588         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 589
 590 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 591
 592         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 593         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 594
 595         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 596         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 597         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 598         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 599
 600 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 601
 602         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 603         trace flag.
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 606         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 607         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 608         context with traps enabled.
 609
 610 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 611
 612         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 613         module.
 614         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 615
 616 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 617
 618         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 619         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 620         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 621         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 622         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 623
 624 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 625
 626         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 627         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 628
 629 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 630
 631         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 632
 633 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 634
 635         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 636
 637 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 638
 639         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 640
 641 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 642
 643         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 644         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 645
 646 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 647
 648         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 649         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 650         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 651         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 652         Archibald.)
 653
 654         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 655         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 656         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 657
 658 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 659
 660         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 661         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 662         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 663         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 664         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 665         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 666         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 667
 668 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 669
 670         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 671
 672 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 673
 674         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 675         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 676         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 677         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 678         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 679         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 680
 681 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 682
 683         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 684         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 685         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 686         Steven G. Johnson.)
 687
 688 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 689
 690         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 691
 692 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 693
 694         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 695
 696 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 697
 698         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 699         be completed.
 700
 701 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 702
 703         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 704
 705 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 706
 707         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 708         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 709
 710 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 713         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 714         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 715         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 716         transformer.
 717         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 718         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 719
 720 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 721
 722         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 723
 724 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 725
 726         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 727         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 728         completion.
 729
 730         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 731         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 732
 733         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 734         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 735         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 738
 739 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 740
 741         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 742
 743         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 744         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 745
 746 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 747
 748         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 749
 750 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 751
 752         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 753         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 754
 755         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 756
 757         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 758         obsolete.
 759
 760 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 761
 762         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 763         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 764
 765 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 768
 769 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 770
 771         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 772         Stachowiak.)
 773
 774 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 775
 776         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 777         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 778         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 779         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 780         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 781         threads.
 782
 783 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 784
 785         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 786         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 787         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 788
 789 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 790
 791         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 792
 793         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 794         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 795
 796 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 797
 798         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 799         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 800         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 801         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 802         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 803         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 804         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 805         to go here.
 806
 807 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 808
 809         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 810         is now a fluid.
 811
 812 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 813
 814         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 815         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 816         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 817         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 818         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 819         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 820
 821 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 822
 823         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 824         usefully so they will work from a script.
 825
 826 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 829         neighborhood of the record code.
 830
 831 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 832
 833         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 834         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 835         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 836         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 837
 838 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 839
 840         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 841         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 842         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 843
 844 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 845
 846         Add support for readline function.
 847         * readline.scm: New module.
 848         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 849         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 850         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 851         anything.
 852         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 853         repl-reader to use them.
 854         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 855
 856         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 857
 858 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 859
 860         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 861         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 862
 863 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 864
 865         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 866         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 867         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 868
 869 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 870
 871         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 872         #f, abort terminates the process.
 873         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 874         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 875
 876 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 879         print-state, throw it away.
 880
 881 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 882
 883         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 884         `0'.
 885
 886 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 887
 888         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 889         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 890         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 891         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 892         user field).
 893         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 894         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 895
 896 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 897
 898         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 899
 900 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 901
 902         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 903         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 904         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 905         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 906         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 907         boot-9.scm.
 908         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 909         distribution and installation.
 910         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 911
 912 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 913
 914         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 915
 916 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 917
 918         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 919         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 920         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 921
 922         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 923         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 924         symbol.
 925
 926 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 927
 928         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 929
 930         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 931
 932 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 933
 934         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 935         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 936         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 937         field a separate argument.
 938
 939         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 940
 941 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 942
 943         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 944
 945         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 946         vicinity;
 947         Provide defmacro.
 948
 949 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 950
 951         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 952
 953 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 954
 955         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 956         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 957         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 958         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 959         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 960         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 961         registered.
 962         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 963         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 964         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 965         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 966         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 967         link a .so-file.
 968
 969 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 970
 971         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 972
 973 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 974
 975         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 976         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 977
 978 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 979
 980         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 981
 982         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 983         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 984         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 985         expansion inside the slib module.
 986
 987         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 988         constructors.
 989         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 990         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 991         (let): New core form.
 992         (if): Removed from core language.
 993         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 994         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 995         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 996
 997         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 998         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 999         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1000         source.
1001         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1002         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1003         been loaded.
1004
1005 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1006
1007         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1008         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1009         `use-syntax'.
1010         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1011
1012         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1013         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1014         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1015         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1016         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1017         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1018         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1019         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1020         module.
1021         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1022
1023 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024
1025         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1026
1027         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1028         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1029         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1030         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1031         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1034         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1035         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1036         syncase macros.
1037         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1038         the syncase interface.
1039
1040 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1041
1042         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1043         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1044         workings of the current module system).
1045
1046 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1047
1048         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1049         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1050         off!
1051
1052 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1053
1054         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1055         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1056         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1057
1058 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1059
1060         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1061         according to the following priorities:
1062         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1063         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1064         3. tcl bindings
1065         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1066         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1067         (new-interpreter): New function.
1068
1069         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1070         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1071         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1073 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1074

1076
1077 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1078
1079         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1080
1081 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1082
1083         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1084         procedures.
1085         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1086
1087 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1088
1089         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1090         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1091         source!
1092
1093 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1094
1095         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1096         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1101         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1102         in stack-ref).
1103
1104         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1105         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

1122
1123 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1124
1125         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1126         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1127         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1128
1129         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1130
1131         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1132         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

1146
1147         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1148         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1149         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1150
1151         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1152         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1153         the top.
1154
1155         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1156         order to narrow it correctly.

1169
1170         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1171         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1172
1173 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1174
1175         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1176         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1177         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1178
1179 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1180
1181         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1182         automatically.

1185
1186         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1187         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1188         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1189         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1190         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1191
1192 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1193
1194         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1195         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1196         a default of /.
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1199
1200 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1201
1202         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1203         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1204         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1207         make-regexp.
1208

1210
1211         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1212         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1213         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1214         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1215         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1216         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1217
1218         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1219         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1220         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1221         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1222
1223 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1224
1225         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1226         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1227         sending in bug reports.
1228         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1229         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1230         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1231         display a warning if the two are different.
1232         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1233         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1234         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1235
1236 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1237

1239
1240 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1241
1242         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1243         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1244
1245         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1246         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1247         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1248         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1249         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1250         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1251         that's okay.
1252
1253         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1254         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1255         regexp interface.
1256
1257         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1258         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1259
1260         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1261         function names.
1262
1263         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1264         fixes.
1265
1266 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1267
1268         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1269         ../configure.in.
1270
1271 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1272
1273         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1274         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1275
1276 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1277
1278         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1279         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1280         to support printing of structures.
1281         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1282         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1283         commented out printing code.
1284         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1285         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1286
1287 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1288
1289         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1290
1291 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1292
1293         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1294         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1295         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1296         during call to scm-style-repl.
1297
1298 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1299
1300         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1301         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1302         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1303         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1304         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1305
1306 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1307
1308         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1309         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1310         (ice-9 regex).
1311
1312 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1313
1314         * regex.scm: New file.
1315         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1316         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1317
1318 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1319
1320         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

1328         in 1997.
1329
1330 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1331
1332         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1333         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1334         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1335
1336 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1337
1338         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1339         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1340         here.
1341
1342 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1343
1344         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1351
1352         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1353         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1354         fixes this too.
1355
1356 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1357
1358         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1359         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1360         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1361
1362 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1363
1364         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1365         the Scheme code like code yet.
1366         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1367
1368 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1369
1370         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1371         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1372         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1373
1374 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1375
1376         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1377         use-modules macro
1378         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1379         can't be found.
1380
1381 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1382
1383         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

1385 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1386
1387         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1388
1389         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1390         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.

1400         no plugins.
1401         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1402         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1413 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1414
1415         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

1419
1420         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1421         instead of in libguile.
1422         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1423         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1424
1425 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1426

1433
1434         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1435         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1436
1437 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1438
1439         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1440         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1441         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1442         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1443
1444 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1445
1446         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1447         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1448
1449 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1450
1451         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1452
1453 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1456         keywords and symbols.
1457
1458 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1459
1460         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1461
1462         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1463         Don't define read-sharp.
1464
1465         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1466         (read-sharp): removed.
1467         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1468         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1469
1470 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1471
1472         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1473
1474         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1475         primitive procedure.)
1476
1477         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1478         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1479
1480 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1481
1482         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1483
1484 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1485
1486         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1487
1488 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1489
1490         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1491         read gets EOF.
1492         * (exit): alias for quit.
1493
1494 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1495
1496         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1497         return the quit args.
1498         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1499         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1500         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1501
1502         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1503
1504 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1505
1506         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1507
1508         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1509         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1510
1511         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1512         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1513
1514         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1515         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1516         of handlers.
1517
1518 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1519
1520         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1521
1522         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1523         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1524         Change hooks to use these functions.
1525
1526         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1527         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1528         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1529         the source! :-)
1530         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1531         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1532         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1533         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1534         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1535         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1536         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1537         traced.
1538
1539         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1540         and exit-frame exceptions.
1541
1542         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1543         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1544         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1545         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1546         result; otherwise display "> ".
1547         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1548
1549         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1550         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1551         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1552         repository version runnable.
1553
1554 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1557         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1558         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1559         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1560         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1561         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1562
1563 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1564
1565         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1566         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1567         and eval.
1568         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1569         "defined?".
1570         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1571         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1572
1573 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1574
1575         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1576
1577 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1580         %read-sharp layer.
1581
1582 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1583
1584         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1585         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1586
1587 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1588
1589         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1590         backtrace.c.)
1591
1592 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1593
1594         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1595         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1596
1597 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1598
1599         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1600
1601         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1602         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1603         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1604         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1605         dynamic linking of modules.
1606         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1607         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1608
1609 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1610
1611         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1612
1613 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1614
1615         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1616         that's what it is.
1617
1618         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1619         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1620         was false.
1621
1622 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1623
1624         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1625         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1626         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1627
1628 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1629
1630         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1631         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1632         yet.
1633
1634 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1635
1636         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1637         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1638         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1639
1640 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1641
1642         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1643         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1644         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1645         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1646
1647         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1648         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1649         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1650         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1651         (such as the-scm-module).
1652
1653 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1654
1655         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1656         %search-load-path.
1657
1658 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1659
1660         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1661         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1662         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1663
1664 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1665
1666         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1667         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1668         function, use it accordingly.
1669
1670 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1671
1672         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1673         function of no arguments.
1674         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1675         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1676         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1677         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1678         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1679         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1680         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1681         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1682
1683 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1684
1685         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1686         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1687
1688 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1691         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1692         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1693         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1694         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1695
1696         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1697         `*features*'.
1698
1699         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1700         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1701         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1702         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1703
1704         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1705
1706         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1707
1708         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1709         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1710         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1711
1712         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1713         error.
1714
1715         Added `before-read-hook'.
1716
1717         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1718
1719         (provide): New function.
1720
1721         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1722         in backtraces.
1723
1724         (backtrace): New function.
1725
1726         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1727         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1728         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1729         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1730         is found in operator position in a frame.
1731
1732         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1733         by default.
1734
1735         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1736         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1737         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1738
1739         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1740
1741         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1742
1743         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1744
1745         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1746
1747 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1748
1749         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1750
1751         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1752         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1753
1754         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1755         so they'll get distributed.
1756
1757         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1758         should see as little clutter as possible.
1759         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1760         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1761         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1762
1763         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1764         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1765         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1766         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1767         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1768         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1769         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1770         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1771         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1772         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1773         that are not.
1774         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1775         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1776
1777         * test.scm: New file.
1778
1779         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1780         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1781         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1782
1783         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1784         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1785
1786         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1787         work now.
1788         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1789         call %load-announce.
1790
1791 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1792
1793         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1794         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1795         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1796         components.
1797         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1798
1799 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1800
1801         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1802         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1803         SCSH (which this isn't).
1804
1805 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1806
1807         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1808
1809 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1810
1811         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1812         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1813         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1814         these.
1815         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1816         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1817         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1818         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1819         save-stack.
1820
1821 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1822
1823         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1824
1825         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1826
1827         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1828         error-catching-loop.
1829         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1830         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1831         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1832
1833         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1834         error-catching-loop.
1835
1836 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1837
1838         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1839         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1840         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1841         should be '(), not #f.
1842
1843         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1844         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1845
1846 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1847
1848         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1849         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1850         error-signal.
1851
1852 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1853
1854         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1855         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1856         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1857         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1858
1859 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1860
1861         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1862
1863 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1864
1865         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1866
1867         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1868         throw-handler-default.
1869         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1870         reported.
1871         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1872         acro.
1873         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1874         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1875
1876 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1877
1878         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1879         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1880         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1881         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1882
1883 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1884
1885         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1886         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1887         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1888         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1889         ...))
1890         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1891         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1892         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1893         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1894         file-is-directory?
1895
1896 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1897
1898         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1899
1900         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1901         distribution.
1902
1903         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1904         `switch-repl'.
1905
1906         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1907
1908 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1911         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1912
1913 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1916
1917         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1918
1919 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1920
1921         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1922         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1923         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1924         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1925         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1926
1927         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1928         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1929         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1930         they seem redundant.
1931         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1932         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1933         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1934         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1935         directly files starting with "/").
1936         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1937         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1938
1939         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1940
1941 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1942
1943         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1944         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1945         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1946         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1947         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1948         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1949         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1950         robust to just do it in the C code.
1951
1952 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1953
1954         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1955         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1956         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1957         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1958         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1959
1960 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1961
1962         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1963         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1964         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1965
1966 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1967
1968         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1969         system-error, not every kind of error.
1970         (scm-error): new procedure.
1971
1972 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1973
1974         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1975
1976 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1977
1978         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1979         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1980         of args are supplied.
1981         (%%system-errors): removed.
1982         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1983         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1984         %%handle-system-error.
1985         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1986         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1987         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1988         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1989
1990 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1991
1992         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1993         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1994         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1995         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1996
1997 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1998
1999         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2000         the empty list if they are #f.
2001         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2002
2003 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2004
2005         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2008         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2009         aborting, just the key and subr.
2010         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2011         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2012         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2013
2014 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2015
2016         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2017         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2018         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2019         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2020         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2021
2022 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2023
2024         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2025         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2026         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2027         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2028
2029 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2030
2031         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2032         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2033         initialize %load-path.
2034
2035         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2036         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2037
2038 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2039
2040         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2041         Add the directory named after the version number.
2042         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2043         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2044         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2045         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2046         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2050
2051 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2052
2053         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2054         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2055         in the Makefile directly.
2056         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2057         for these.
2058         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2059         aux_files.
2060         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2061         here, where people expect to find them.

2064
2065         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2066         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2067
2068         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2069
2070 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2071
2072         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2073         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2074
2075 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2076
2077         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2078         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2079
2080         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2081         weak-key-hash-table.
2082
2083 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2084
2085         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2086         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
2087         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2088         (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2089         (%open-file): removed.
2090         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2091         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2092
2093 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2094
2095         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2096         (manifest): Deleted.
2097         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2098         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2099
2100 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2101
2102         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2103         now that they throw errors directly.
2104         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2105         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2106
2107 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2110
2111 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2112
2113         * The more things change...
