93 2002-02-24 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
95 * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
96 properties. This is in preparation for changing the future public
97 gensym to produce unreadable symbols.

109 (psyntax.pp): Use $(preinstguile).
111 2002-01-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
113 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
114 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
115 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and
116 unnecessary restriction. Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
118 2002-01-12 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
120 More options for pretty-print. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
122 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
123 (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
124 used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
126 2001-11-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
128 * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

139 2001-10-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
141 * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
142 (*features*): Extend. (Probably some of these options should be
143 set elsewhere.) (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
145 * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
146 channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

150 safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
151 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
152 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
153 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of
156 2001-10-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
158 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
161 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
163 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
164 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
165 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
166 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
168 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
170 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
171 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
172 %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of

177 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
179 2001-09-19 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>

190 2001-09-08 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
192 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
193 the `arglist' procedure property.

205 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
207 * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
209 (feature?): Deprecated.

231 * optargs.scm: Remove #& reader extension.
233 2001-08-31 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

239 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
241 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
242 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
243 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
245 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
247 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
248 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
250 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
252 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".
254 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
256 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
260 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
262 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
263 last-command fluid is not yet set.
265 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
267 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
269 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
270 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
271 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
273 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
275 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
276 handle :use-syntax correctly.
278 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
280 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
283 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
285 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
286 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
287 Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
288 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
289 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
291 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
293 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
294 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
295 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
297 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
299 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
300 primitives. Thanks Neil!
302 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
304 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
305 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
306 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
307 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
309 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
310 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
311 since there aren't definitions for them.
313 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
314 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
316 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
318 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
319 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
321 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
323 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
324 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
326 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
328 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
329 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
330 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
332 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
334 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
336 * tags.scm: Removed file.
338 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
340 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
341 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
343 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
344 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
345 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
348 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
350 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
351 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
353 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
355 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
356 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
358 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
359 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
360 evaluator trap options.)

364 * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
366 2001-06-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

370 2001-06-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
372 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
374 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
376 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
377 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
379 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
382 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
383 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
384 No longer require `pretty-print'.
386 (slib:error): Delete.
387 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
389 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
394 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
398 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
400 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
401 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
402 rdelim) module. See below.
404 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
406 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
407 include-deprecated-features is true.
409 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
411 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
414 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
415 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
416 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
418 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
419 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
420 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
423 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
425 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
426 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
427 variable, not just a visible one.
428 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
429 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
430 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
431 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
432 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
433 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
435 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
437 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
438 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
440 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
442 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
443 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
445 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

449 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
451 Added exception notice to all files.
453 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
454 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
455 importing bindings once in a while.
457 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
459 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
460 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
461 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
462 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
463 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
464 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
465 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
466 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
468 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
469 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
471 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
473 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
474 fix command so that it works.
476 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
477 to access unbound variables.
479 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
480 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
481 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
482 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
483 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
485 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
487 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
488 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
489 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
490 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
491 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
492 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
493 argument for process-define-module.
494 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
495 arguments for process-use-modules.
496 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
498 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
500 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
501 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
502 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
505 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
506 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
507 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
509 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
511 2001-05-23 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
513 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
515 (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.

526 getting the syntax transformer. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
528 2001-05-21 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
530 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
531 deprecated features have been removed. Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
533 * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
536 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
538 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
539 * match.scm: Likewise.
540 * expect.scm: Likewise.
541 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
543 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
545 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
547 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
549 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
550 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
551 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
552 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
553 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
554 element list when adding "." to it.
555 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
556 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
558 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
560 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
562 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
563 now accepts arg; update callers.
564 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
565 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
567 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
568 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
569 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
570 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
571 `search-documentation-files'.
572 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
573 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
574 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
576 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
577 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
579 (find-documentation): Delete.
580 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
581 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
583 2001-05-15 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
585 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
586 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

598 Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
600 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
602 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
604 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
605 the magical undefined value.

607 the default default for bindings.
609 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

624 `set-current-module' call.
625 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
626 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

666 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
667 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
668 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

930 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
931 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on

997 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
998 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
999 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1000 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1001 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1002 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1003 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1005 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

1020 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1022 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1024 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1026 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1027 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1028 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1029 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

1048 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1050 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1051 and open-output-pipe.
1053 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1055 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1056 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1057 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1058 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1059 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1060 Pirotte for the bug report).
1061 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1062 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1064 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1066 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

1087 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1088 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1090 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1091 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1092 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1093 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1094 actual documentation entries themselves.
1096 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1126 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1128 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1129 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1130 even worked... /mdj.
1131 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1133 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS

1156 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1159 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1161 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1162 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1163 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1164 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1165 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1167 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1169 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1171 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1172 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1174 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1177 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1178 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1179 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1180 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1182 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1184 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1185 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1187 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1189 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1190 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1192 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1194 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1195 definition of module-type.
1197 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1199 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1201 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1203 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1204 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1206 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1208 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1210 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1212 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1213 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1214 Mikael for the suggestion.
1216 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1218 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1219 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1221 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1223 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1226 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1228 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1230 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1232 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1233 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1236 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1237 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1240 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1242 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1243 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1245 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1246 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1247 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1249 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1251 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1253 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1255 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1256 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1258 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1260 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1261 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1263 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1265 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1266 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1268 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1270 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1272 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1274 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1276 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1278 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1280 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1281 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1283 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1285 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1288 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1289 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1290 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1291 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1294 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1296 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1298 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1300 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1301 (write-all): Removed.
1302 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1303 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1305 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1307 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1308 `proc-documentation'
1310 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1311 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1312 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1313 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1314 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1315 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1316 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1319 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1321 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1323 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1325 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1326 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1327 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1330 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1332 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1333 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1334 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1335 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1336 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1337 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1338 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1340 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1342 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1343 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1345 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1347 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1348 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1350 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1352 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1353 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1354 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1355 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1356 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1357 delete-if! when iterating.
1359 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1361 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1363 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1365 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1367 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1369 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1370 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1371 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1372 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1374 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1376 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1377 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1379 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1381 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1382 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1383 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1384 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1386 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1388 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1389 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1391 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1393 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1394 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1396 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1398 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1401 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1403 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1404 source of the numerous very short changes.
1406 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1408 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1411 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1414 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1416 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1419 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1421 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1422 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1424 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1426 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1429 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1431 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1432 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1433 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1435 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1437 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1438 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1439 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1440 Narazaki for this change.
1442 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1444 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1445 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1448 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1449 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1451 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1453 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1454 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1456 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1458 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1459 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1460 use define-public to export from the module.
1462 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1464 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1465 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1466 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1468 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1470 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1472 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1474 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1475 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1477 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1479 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1481 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1483 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1485 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1487 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1488 long_long uniform vectors.
1490 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1492 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1493 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1495 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1497 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1498 script to create generated files like this one.
1500 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1502 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1503 available before using getpw and getuid.
1504 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1505 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1507 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1508 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1509 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1511 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1512 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1513 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1515 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1516 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1518 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1520 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1522 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1523 than 'exit-debugger.
1525 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1526 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1528 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1530 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1532 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1533 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1534 ("position"): New command.
1535 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1536 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1537 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1538 to return a valid state.)
1539 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1541 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1543 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1544 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1547 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1549 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1550 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1552 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1554 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1556 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1558 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1559 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1561 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1562 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1563 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1565 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1568 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1570 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1571 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1573 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1575 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1577 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1578 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1579 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1580 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1582 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1585 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1586 both forward and backward views of the stack
1587 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1588 Use selector `frame-number';
1589 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1590 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1592 Use readline conditionally.
1594 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1596 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1597 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1598 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1600 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1601 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1604 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1606 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1608 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1610 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1612 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1614 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1616 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1617 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1618 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1619 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1620 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1621 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1622 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1623 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1624 libguile-config-stamp.
1625 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1626 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1627 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1628 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1629 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1631 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1633 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1634 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1635 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1637 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1638 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1639 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1640 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1643 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1645 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1647 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1649 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1651 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1652 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1654 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1656 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1657 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1658 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1659 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1660 objects starting with '#/'.
1662 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1664 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1665 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1666 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1667 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1668 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1669 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1671 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1672 module-modified): New procedures.
1673 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1674 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1676 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1678 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1681 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1683 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1684 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1685 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1687 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1690 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1692 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1693 at multiple calls to read.
1694 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1695 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1696 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1697 continued-lines prompt.
1699 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1700 reading expressions.
1702 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1704 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1705 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1707 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1709 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1710 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1713 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1715 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1716 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1718 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1719 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1720 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1721 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1722 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1725 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1727 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1728 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1730 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1732 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1733 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1734 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1735 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1737 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1739 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1741 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1742 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1743 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1746 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1748 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1749 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1750 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1751 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1752 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1753 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1754 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1755 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1756 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1757 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1758 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1760 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1762 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1763 peeked from the stream.
1764 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1765 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1766 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1768 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1770 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1771 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1773 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1775 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1776 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1777 exiting repl with single control-D.
1779 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1781 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1782 error catching loop after quit received.
1783 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1785 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1786 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1787 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1789 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1790 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1792 * popen.scm: new file.
1794 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1796 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1797 (reverse-iota): removed.
1799 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1801 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1802 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1804 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1806 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1807 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1808 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1809 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1810 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1812 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1814 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1816 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1817 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1819 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1820 Guile's module system.
1822 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1824 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1825 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1826 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1827 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1828 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1829 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1831 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1832 '() when the condition is false.
1834 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1836 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1838 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1840 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1842 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1844 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1845 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1846 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1848 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1850 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1851 argument order for hash-fold.
1853 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1855 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1857 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1858 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1860 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1861 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1862 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1863 has been added to the load path).
1865 Use try-load-module.
1867 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1869 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1870 module between system and user state.
1872 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1874 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1876 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1879 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1881 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1882 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1883 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1885 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1887 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1888 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1889 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1890 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1891 stack frame encountered.
1893 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1894 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1895 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1896 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1899 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1900 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1901 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1902 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1905 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1906 define-module switches:
1908 (define-module (foo)
1911 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1914 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1915 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1916 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1917 module it is a system frame.
1919 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1920 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1921 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1922 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1923 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1925 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1926 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1927 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1928 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1929 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1930 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1932 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1933 status of a module.;
1934 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1935 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1937 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1938 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1939 closure to the module.
1941 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1943 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1945 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1947 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1949 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1951 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1953 Fix from Russ McManus:
1954 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1955 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1956 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1957 either an optional or required value.
1959 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1961 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1963 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1964 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1966 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1967 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1968 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1969 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1971 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1973 * optargs.scm: New file.
1974 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1975 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1977 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1979 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1980 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1981 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1983 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1985 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1986 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1989 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1991 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1993 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1995 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1996 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1997 applied to the module itself.
1999 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2001 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2003 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2004 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2006 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2008 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2010 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2012 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2014 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2016 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2017 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2019 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2021 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2022 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2023 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2024 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2025 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2026 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2027 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2029 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2031 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2032 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2034 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2036 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2037 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2040 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2042 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2044 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2046 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2048 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2050 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2051 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2052 adapt to the new hooks.
2054 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2056 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2057 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2058 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2060 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2061 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2063 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2064 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2065 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2066 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2067 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2068 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2069 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2070 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2071 first to register linked modules.
2073 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2074 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2075 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2077 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2078 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2079 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2080 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2082 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2084 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2087 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2088 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2089 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2091 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2093 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2094 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2095 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2097 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2099 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2100 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2101 result of the last form.
2103 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2105 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2108 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2110 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2111 readline-set!: New options interface.
2113 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2115 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2117 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2118 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2120 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2122 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2123 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2125 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2127 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2128 interactive session.
2129 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2131 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2132 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2134 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2136 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2138 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2140 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2141 read line was empty.
2143 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2145 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2146 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2148 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2150 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2152 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2153 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2154 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2156 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2157 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2159 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2160 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2161 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2163 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2164 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2165 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2166 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2167 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2168 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2170 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2172 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2173 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2175 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2177 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2178 and short vectors #h(...).
2180 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2182 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2183 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2184 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2186 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2188 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2189 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2190 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2192 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2194 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2195 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2197 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2198 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2199 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2200 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2202 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2204 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2207 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2208 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2209 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2210 context with traps enabled.
2212 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2214 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2216 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2218 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2220 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2221 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2222 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2223 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2224 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2226 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2228 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2229 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2231 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2233 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2235 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2237 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2239 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2241 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2243 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2245 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2246 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2248 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2250 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2251 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2252 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2253 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2256 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2257 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2258 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2260 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2262 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2263 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2264 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2265 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2266 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2267 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2268 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2270 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2272 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2274 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2276 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2277 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2278 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2279 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2280 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2281 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2283 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2285 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2286 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2287 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2290 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2292 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2294 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2296 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2298 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2300 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2303 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2305 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2307 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2309 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2310 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2312 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2314 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2315 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2316 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2317 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2319 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2320 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2322 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2324 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2326 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2328 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2329 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2332 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2333 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2335 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2336 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2337 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2339 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2341 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2343 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2345 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2346 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2348 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2350 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2352 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2354 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2355 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2357 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2359 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2362 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2364 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2365 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2367 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2369 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2371 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2373 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2376 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2378 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2379 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2380 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2381 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2382 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2385 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2387 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2388 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2389 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2391 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2393 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2395 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2396 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2398 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2400 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2401 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2402 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2403 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2404 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2405 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2406 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2409 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2411 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2414 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2416 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2417 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2418 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2419 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2420 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2421 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2423 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2425 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2426 usefully so they will work from a script.
2428 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2430 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2431 neighborhood of the record code.
2433 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2435 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2436 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2437 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2438 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2440 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2442 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2443 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2444 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2446 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2448 Add support for readline function.
2449 * readline.scm: New module.
2450 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2451 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2452 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2454 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2455 repl-reader to use them.
2456 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2458 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2460 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2462 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2463 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2465 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2467 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2468 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2469 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2471 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2473 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2474 #f, abort terminates the process.
2475 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2476 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2478 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2480 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2481 print-state, throw it away.
2483 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2485 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2488 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2490 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2491 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2492 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2493 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2495 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2496 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2498 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2500 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2502 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2504 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2505 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2506 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2507 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2508 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2510 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2511 distribution and installation.
2512 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2514 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2516 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2518 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2520 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2521 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2522 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2524 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2525 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2528 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2530 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2532 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2534 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2536 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2537 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2538 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2539 field a separate argument.
2541 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2543 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2545 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2547 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2551 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2553 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2555 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2557 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2558 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2559 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2560 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2561 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2562 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2564 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2565 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2566 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2567 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2568 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2571 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2573 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2575 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2577 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2578 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2580 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2582 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2584 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2585 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2586 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2587 expansion inside the slib module.
2589 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2591 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2592 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2593 (let): New core form.
2594 (if): Removed from core language.
2595 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2596 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2597 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2599 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2600 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2601 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2603 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2604 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2607 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2609 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2610 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2612 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2614 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2615 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2616 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2617 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2618 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2619 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2620 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2621 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2623 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2625 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2627 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2629 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2630 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2631 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2632 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2633 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2635 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2636 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2637 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2639 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2640 the syncase interface.
2642 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2644 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2645 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2646 workings of the current module system).
2648 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2650 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2651 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2654 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2656 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2657 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2658 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2660 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2662 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2663 according to the following priorities:
2664 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2665 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2667 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2668 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2669 (new-interpreter): New function.
2671 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2672 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2673 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2675 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2677 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2679 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2681 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2683 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2685 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2687 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2689 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2691 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2692 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2695 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2697 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2698 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2699 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2700 symbols matching regexp.
2702 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2703 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2706 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2707 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2708 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2709 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2710 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2712 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2713 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2715 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2717 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2718 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2720 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2721 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2723 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2725 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2727 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2728 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2729 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2731 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2733 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2734 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2735 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2737 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2739 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

2742 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2744 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2747 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2749 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2750 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2751 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2753 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2754 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2757 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2758 order to narrow it correctly.
2759 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2761 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2763 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2764 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2766 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2768 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2770 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2772 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2773 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2775 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2777 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2778 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2779 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2781 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2783 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2786 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2788 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2789 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2790 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2791 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2792 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2794 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2796 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2797 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2800 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2802 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2804 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2805 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2806 notation, instead of #/ notation.
2808 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2811 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2813 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2814 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2815 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2816 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2817 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2818 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2820 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2821 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2822 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2823 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2825 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2827 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2828 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2829 sending in bug reports.
2830 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2831 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2832 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2833 display a warning if the two are different.
2834 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2835 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2836 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2838 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2840 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2842 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2844 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2845 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2847 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2848 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2849 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2850 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2851 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2852 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2855 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2856 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2859 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2860 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2862 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2865 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2868 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2870 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2873 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2875 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2876 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2878 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2880 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2881 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2882 to support printing of structures.
2883 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2884 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2885 commented out printing code.
2886 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2887 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2889 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2891 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2893 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2895 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2896 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2897 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2898 during call to scm-style-repl.
2900 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2902 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2903 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2904 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2905 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2906 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2908 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2910 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2911 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2914 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2916 * regex.scm: New file.
2917 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2918 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2920 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2922 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2923 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2924 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2925 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2927 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2929 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2932 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2934 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2935 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2936 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2938 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2940 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2941 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2944 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2946 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2948 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2950 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2952 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2954 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2955 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2958 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2960 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2961 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2962 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2964 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2966 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2967 the Scheme code like code yet.
2968 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2970 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2972 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2973 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2974 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2976 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2978 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2980 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2983 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2985 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2987 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2989 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2991 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2992 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2993 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2995 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2997 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2998 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2999 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3001 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3003 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3004 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3006 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3008 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3011 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3015 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3017 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3018 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3020 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3022 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3023 instead of in libguile.
3024 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3025 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3027 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3029 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3031 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3032 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3034 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3036 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3037 sockaddr:port): new functions.
3039 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3041 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3042 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3043 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3044 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3046 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3048 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3049 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3051 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3053 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3055 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3057 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3058 keywords and symbols.
3060 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3062 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3064 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3065 Don't define read-sharp.
3067 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3068 (read-sharp): removed.
3069 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3070 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3072 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3074 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3076 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3077 primitive procedure.)
3079 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3080 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3082 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3084 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3086 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3088 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3090 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3092 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3094 * (exit): alias for quit.
3096 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3098 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3099 return the quit args.
3100 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3101 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3102 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3104 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3106 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3108 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3110 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3111 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3113 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3114 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3116 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3117 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3120 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3122 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3124 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3125 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3126 Change hooks to use these functions.
3128 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3129 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3130 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3132 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3133 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3134 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3135 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3136 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3137 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3138 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3141 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3142 and exit-frame exceptions.
3144 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3145 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3146 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3147 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3148 result; otherwise display "> ".
3149 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3151 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3152 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3153 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3154 repository version runnable.
3156 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3158 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3159 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3160 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3161 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3162 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3163 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3165 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3167 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3168 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3170 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3172 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3173 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3175 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3177 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3179 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3181 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3184 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3186 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3187 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3189 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3191 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3194 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3196 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3197 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3199 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3201 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3203 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3204 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3205 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3206 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3207 dynamic linking of modules.
3208 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3209 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3211 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3213 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3215 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3217 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3220 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3221 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3224 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3226 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3227 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3228 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3230 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3232 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3233 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3236 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3238 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3239 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3240 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3242 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3244 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3245 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3246 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3247 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3249 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3250 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3251 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3252 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3253 (such as the-scm-module).
3255 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3257 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3260 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3262 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3263 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3264 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3266 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3268 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3269 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3270 function, use it accordingly.
3272 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3274 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3275 function of no arguments.
3276 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3277 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3278 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3279 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3280 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3281 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3282 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3283 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3285 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3287 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3288 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3290 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3292 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3293 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3294 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3295 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3296 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3298 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3301 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3302 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3303 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3304 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3306 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3308 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3310 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3311 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3312 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3314 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3317 Added `before-read-hook'.
3319 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3321 (provide): New function.
3323 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3326 (backtrace): New function.
3328 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3329 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3330 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3331 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3332 is found in operator position in a frame.
3334 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3337 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3338 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3339 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3341 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3343 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3345 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3347 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3349 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3351 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3353 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3354 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3356 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3357 so they'll get distributed.
3359 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3360 should see as little clutter as possible.
3361 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3362 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3363 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3365 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3366 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3367 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3368 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3369 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3370 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3371 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3372 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3373 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3374 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3376 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3377 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3379 * test.scm: New file.
3381 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3382 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3383 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3385 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3386 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3388 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3390 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3391 call %load-announce.
3393 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3395 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3396 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3397 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3399 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3401 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3403 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3404 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3405 SCSH (which this isn't).
3407 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3409 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3411 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3413 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3414 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3415 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3417 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3418 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3419 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3420 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3423 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3425 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3427 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3429 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3430 error-catching-loop.
3431 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3432 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3433 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3435 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3436 error-catching-loop.
3438 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3440 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3441 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3442 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3443 should be '(), not #f.
3445 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3446 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3448 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3450 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3451 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3454 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3456 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3457 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3458 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3459 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3461 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3463 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3465 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3467 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3469 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3470 throw-handler-default.
3471 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3473 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3475 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3476 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3478 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3480 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3481 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3482 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3483 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3485 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3487 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3488 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3489 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3490 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3492 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3493 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3494 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3495 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3498 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3500 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3502 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3505 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3508 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3510 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3512 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3513 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3515 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3517 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3519 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3521 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3523 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3524 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3525 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3526 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3527 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3529 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3530 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3531 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3532 they seem redundant.
3533 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3534 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3535 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3536 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3537 directly files starting with "/").
3538 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3539 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3541 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3543 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3545 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3546 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3547 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3548 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3549 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3550 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3551 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3552 robust to just do it in the C code.
3554 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3556 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3557 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3558 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3559 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3560 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3562 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3564 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3565 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3566 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3568 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3570 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3571 system-error, not every kind of error.
3572 (scm-error): new procedure.
3574 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3576 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3578 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3580 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3581 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3582 of args are supplied.
3583 (%%system-errors): removed.
3584 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3585 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3586 %%handle-system-error.
3587 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3588 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3589 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3590 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3592 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3594 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3595 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3596 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3597 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3599 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3601 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3602 the empty list if they are #f.
3603 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3605 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3607 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3609 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3610 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3611 aborting, just the key and subr.
3612 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3613 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3614 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3616 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3618 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3619 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3620 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3621 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3622 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3624 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3626 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3627 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3628 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3629 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3631 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3633 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3634 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3635 initialize %load-path.
3637 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3638 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3640 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3642 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3643 Add the directory named after the version number.
3644 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3645 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3646 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3647 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3648 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3649 (install): Create the above directories.
3650 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3651 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3653 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3655 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3656 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3657 in the Makefile directly.
3658 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3660 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3662 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3663 here, where people expect to find them.
3665 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3667 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3668 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3670 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3672 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3674 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3675 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3677 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3679 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3680 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3682 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3683 weak-key-hash-table.
3685 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3687 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3688 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3689 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3690 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3691 (%open-file): removed.
3692 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3693 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3695 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3697 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3698 (manifest): Deleted.
3699 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3700 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3702 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3704 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3705 now that they throw errors directly.
3706 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3707 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3709 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3711 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3713 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3715 * The more things change...
