   2
   3         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
   4
   5 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
   6
   7         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

   9 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  10
  11         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
  12         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
  13         fixes this too.
  14
  15 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
  18         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
  19         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
  20
  21 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  22
  23         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
  24         the Scheme code like code yet.
  25         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
  26
  27 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  28
  29         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
  30         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
  31         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
  32
  33 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  34
  35         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
  36         use-modules macro

  43
  44 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  45
  46         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
  47
  48         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
  49         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
  50         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
  51
  52 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  53
  54         Get 'make dist' to work again.

  59         no plugins.
  60         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
  61         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

  71
  72 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  73
  74         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
  75         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
  76
  77 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
  80         instead of in libguile.
  81         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
  82         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
  83
  84 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  85
  86         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
  87         procedures.
  88         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

  92
  93         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
  94         sockaddr:port): new functions.
  95
  96 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  97
  98         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
  99         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 100         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 101         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 102
 103 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 104
 105 *       * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 106         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 107
 108 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 109
 110         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 111
 112 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 113
 114         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 115         keywords and symbols.
 116
 117 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 118
 119         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 120
 121         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 122         Don't define read-sharp.
 123
 124         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 125         (read-sharp): removed.
 126         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 127         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 128
 129 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 130
 131         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 132
 133         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 134         primitive procedure.)
 135
 136         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 137         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

 139 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 142
 143 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 146
 147 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 150         read gets EOF.
 151         * (exit): alias for quit.
 152
 153 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 154
 155         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 156         return the quit args.
 157         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 158         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 159         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 160
 161         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 162
 163 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 166
 167         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 168         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 169
 170         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 171         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 172
 173         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 174         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 175         of handlers.
 176
 177 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 178
 179         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 180
 181         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 182         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 183         Change hooks to use these functions.
 184
 185 *       * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 186         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 187         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 188         the source! :-)
 189         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 190         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 191         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 192         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 193         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 194         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 195         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 196         traced.
 197
 198         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 199         and exit-frame exceptions.
 200
 201 *       * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 202         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 203         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 204         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 205         result; otherwise display "> ".
 206         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 207
 208         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 209         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 210         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 211         repository version runnable.
 212
 213 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 214
 215         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 216         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 217         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 218         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 219         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 220         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 221
 222 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 223
 224         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 225         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 226         and eval.
 227         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 228         "defined?".
 229         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 230         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 231
 232 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 233
 234         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 235
 236 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 237
 238         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 239         %read-sharp layer.
 240
 241 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 242
 243         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 244         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 245
 246 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 247
 248         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 249         backtrace.c.)
 250
 251 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 252
 253         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 254         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 255
 256 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 257
 258         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 259
 260         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 261         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 262         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 263         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 264         dynamic linking of modules.
 265         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 266         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 267
 268 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 269
 270         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 271
 272 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 273
 274         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 275         that's what it is.
 276
 277         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 278         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 279         was false.
 280
 281 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 282
 283 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 284         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 285         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 286
 287 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 288
 289         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 290         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 291         yet.
 292
 293 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 294
 295         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 296         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 297         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 298
 299 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 300
 301         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 302         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 303         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 304         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 305
 306         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 307         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 308         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 309         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 310         (such as the-scm-module).
 311
 312 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 313
 314         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 315         %search-load-path.
 316
 317 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 318
 319         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 320         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 321         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 322
 323 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 326         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 327         function, use it accordingly.
 328
 329 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 330
 331         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 332         function of no arguments.
 333         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 334         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 335         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 336         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 337         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 338         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 339         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 340         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 341
 342 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 343
 344         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 345         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 346
 347 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 348
 349         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 350         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 351         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 352         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 353         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 354
 355         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 356         `*features*'.
 357
 358         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 359         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 360         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 361         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 362
 363         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 364
 365         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 366
 367         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 368         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 369         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 370
 371         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 372         error.
 373
 374         Added `before-read-hook'.
 375
 376         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 377
 378         (provide): New function.
 379
 380         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 381         in backtraces.
 382
 383         (backtrace): New function.
 384
 385         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 386         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 387         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 388         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 389         is found in operator position in a frame.
 390
 391         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 392         by default.
 393
 394         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 395         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 396         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 397
 398         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 399
 400         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 401
 402         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 403
 404         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 405
 406 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 407
 408         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 411         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 412
 413         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 414         so they'll get distributed.
 415
 416         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 417         should see as little clutter as possible.
 418         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 419         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 420         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 421
 422         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 423         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 424         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 425         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 426         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 427         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 428         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 429         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 430         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 431         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 432         that are not.
 433         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 434         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 435
 436         * test.scm: New file.
 437
 438         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 439         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 440         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 441
 442         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 443         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 444
 445         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 446         work now.
 447         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 448         call %load-announce.
 449
 450 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 451
 452         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 453         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 454         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 455         components.
 456         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 457
 458 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 459
 460         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 461         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 462         SCSH (which this isn't).
 463
 464 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 465
 466         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 467
 468 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 469
 470         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 471         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 472         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 473         these.
 474         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 475         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 476         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 477         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 478         save-stack.
 479
 480 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 481
 482         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 483
 484         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 485
 486         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 487         error-catching-loop.
 488         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 489         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 490         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 491
 492         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 493         error-catching-loop.
 494
 495 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 496
 497         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 498         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 499         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 500         should be '(), not #f.
 501
 502         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 503         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 504
 505 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 506
 507         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 508         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 509         error-signal.
 510
 511 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 512
 513         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 514         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 515         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 516         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 517
 518 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 519
 520         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 521
 522 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 523
 524         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 525
 526         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 527         throw-handler-default.
 528         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 529         reported.
 530         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 531         acro.
 532         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 533         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
 534
 535 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 536
 537         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 538         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 539         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 540         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 541
 542 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 545         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 546         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 547         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 548         ...))
 549         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 550         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 551         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 552         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 553         file-is-directory?
 554
 555 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 556
 557         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 558
 559         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 560         distribution.
 561
 562         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 563         `switch-repl'.
 564
 565         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 566
 567 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 568
 569         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 570         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 571
 572 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 575
 576         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 577
 578 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 579
 580         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 581         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 582         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 583         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 584         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 585
 586         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 587         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 588         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 589         they seem redundant.
 590         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 591         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 592         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 593         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 594         directly files starting with "/").
 595         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 596         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 597
 598         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 599
 600 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 601
 602         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 603         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 604         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 605         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 606         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 607         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 608         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 609         robust to just do it in the C code.
 610
 611 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 612
 613         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 614         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 615         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 616         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 617         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 618
 619 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 620
 621         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 622         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 623         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 624
 625 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 626
 627         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 628         system-error, not every kind of error.
 629         (scm-error): new procedure.
 630
 631 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 632
 633         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 634
 635 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 636
 637         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 638         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 639         of args are supplied.
 640         (%%system-errors): removed.
 641         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 642         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 643         %%handle-system-error.
 644         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 645         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 646         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 647         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 648
 649 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 650
 651         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 652         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 653         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 654         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 655
 656 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 657
 658         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 659         the empty list if they are #f.
 660         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 661
 662 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 663
 664         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 665
 666         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 667         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 668         aborting, just the key and subr.
 669         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 670         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 671         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 672
 673 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 674
 675         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 676         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 677         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 678         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 679         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 680
 681 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 682
 683         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 684         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 685         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 686         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 687
 688 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 689
 690         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 691         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 692         initialize %load-path.
 693
 694         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 695         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 696
 697 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 698
 699         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 700         Add the directory named after the version number.
 701         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 702         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 703         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 704         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 705         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
 706         (install): Create the above directories.
 707         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
 708         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
 709
 710 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 711
 712         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 713         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 714         in the Makefile directly.
 715         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 716         for these.
