ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
   4
   5 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   6
   7         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
   8
   9 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  10
  11         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
  12         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
  13         adapt to the new hooks.
  14
  15 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
  18         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
  19         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
  20         code.
  21         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
  22         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
  23
  24         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
  25         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
  26         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
  27         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
  28         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
  29         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
  30         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
  31         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
  32         first to register linked modules.
  33
  34         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
  35         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
  36         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
  39         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
  40         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
  41         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
  42
  43         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
  44         to use from C:
  45         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
  46         libguile/feature.c.
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
  49         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
  50         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
  51
  52 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  53
  54         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
  55         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
  56         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
  57
  58 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  59
  60         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
  61         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
  62         result of the last form.
  63
  64 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
  67         syncase.scm.
  68
  69         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
  70
  71         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
  72         readline-set!: New options interface.
  73
  74         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
  75
  76 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
  79         at the end of boot-9.scm.
  80
  81 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  82
  83         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
  84         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  85
  86 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  87
  88         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
  89         interactive session.
  90         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
  91
  92         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
  93         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
  94
  95 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  96
  97         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
  98
  99 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 100
 101         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 102         read line was empty.
 103
 104 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 105
 106         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 107         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 108
 109         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 110
 111         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 112         problem.  Duh.
 113         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 114         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 115         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 118         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 119         into...
 120         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 121         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 122         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 123
 124         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 125         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 126         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 127         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 128         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 129         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 130         psyntax.ss.
 131         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 132
 133         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 134         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 135
 136 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 139         and short vectors #h(...).
 140
 141 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 142
 143         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 144         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 145         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 146
 147 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 148
 149         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 150         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 151         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 152
 153 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 154
 155         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 156         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 157
 158         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 159         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 160         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 161         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 162
 163 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 164
 165         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 166         trace flag.
 167
 168         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 169         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 170         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 171         context with traps enabled.
 172
 173 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 174
 175         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 176         module.
 177         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 178
 179 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 180
 181         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 182         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 183         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 184         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 185         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 186
 187 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 188
 189         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 190         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 191
 192 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 193
 194         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 195
 196 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 197
 198         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 199
 200 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 201
 202         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 203
 204 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 205
 206         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 207         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 208
 209 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 210
 211         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 212         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 213         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 214         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 215         Archibald.)
 216
 217         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 218         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 219         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 220
 221 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 224         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 225         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 226         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 227         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 228         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 229         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 230
 231 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 232
 233         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 234
 235 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 236
 237         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 238         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 239         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 240         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 241         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 242         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 243
 244 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 245
 246         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 247         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 248         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 249         Steven G. Johnson.)
 250
 251 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 252
 253         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 254
 255 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 256
 257         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 258
 259 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 260
 261         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 262         be completed.
 263
 264 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 265
 266         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 267
 268 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 269
 270         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 271         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 272
 273 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 274
 275         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 276         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 277         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 278         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 279         transformer.
 280         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 281         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 282
 283 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 284
 285         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 286
 287 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 288
 289         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 290         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 291         completion.
 292
 293         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 294         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 297         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 298         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 301
 302 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 303
 304         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 305
 306         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 307         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 308
 309 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 310
 311         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 312
 313 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 314
 315         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 316         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 317
 318         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 319
 320         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 321         obsolete.
 322
 323 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 324
 325         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 326         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 327
 328 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 329
 330         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 331
 332 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 333
 334         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 335         Stachowiak.)
 336
 337 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 338
 339         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 340         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 341         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 342         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 343         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 344         threads.
 345
 346 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 347
 348         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 349         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 350         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 351
 352 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 353
 354         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 355
 356         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 357         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 358
 359 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 360
 361         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 362         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 363         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 364         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 365         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 366         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 367         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 368         to go here.

 372         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 373         is now a fluid.
 374
 375 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 376
 377         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 378         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 379         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 380         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 381         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 382         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.

 384 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 385
 386         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 387         usefully so they will work from a script.
 388
 389 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 390
 391         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 392         neighborhood of the record code.
 393
 394 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 395
 396         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 397         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 398         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 399         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 400
 401 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 402
 403         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 404         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 405         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 406
 407 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 408
 409         Add support for readline function.
 410         * readline.scm: New module.
 411         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 412         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 413         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 414         anything.
 415         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 416         repl-reader to use them.
 417         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 418
 419         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 420
 421 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 422
 423         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 424         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.

 427
 428         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 429         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 430         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 431
 432 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 433
 434         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 435         #f, abort terminates the process.
 436         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 437         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 438
 439 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 440
 441         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 442         print-state, throw it away.

 450
 451         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 452         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 453         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 454         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 455         user field).
 456         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 457         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 458
 459 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 460
 461         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 462
 463 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 464
 465         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 466         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 467         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 468         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 469         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 470         boot-9.scm.
 471         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 472         distribution and installation.
 473         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 474
 475 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 478
 479 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 480
 481         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 482         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 483         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 484
 485         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 486         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 487         symbol.
 488
 489 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 490
 491         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 492
 493         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 494
 495 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 496

 498         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 499         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 500         field a separate argument.
 501
 502         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 503
 504 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 505
 506         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 507
 508         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 509         vicinity;

 511
 512 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 517
 518         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 519         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 520         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 521         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 522         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 523         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 524         registered.
 525         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 526         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 527         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 528         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 529         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 530         link a .so-file.
 531
 532 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 540
 541 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 542
 543         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 544
 545         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 546         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 547         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 548         expansion inside the slib module.
 549
 550         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 551         constructors.

 559
 560         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 561         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 562         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 563         source.
 564         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 565         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 566         been loaded.
 567
 568 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

 577         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 578         mutator for module-associated transformer.

 580         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 581         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 582         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 583         module.
 584         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 585
 586 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 587
 588         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 589
 590         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 591         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 592         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 593         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 594         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 595

 597         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 598         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 599         syncase macros.
 600         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 601         the syncase interface.
 602
 603 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 604
 605         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 606         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 607         workings of the current module system).
 608
 609 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 612         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 613         off!
 614

 620
 621 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 622
 623         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 624         according to the following priorities:
 625         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 626         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 627         3. tcl bindings
 628         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 629         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 630         (new-interpreter): New function.
 631
 632         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 633         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 634         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 635
 636 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 651
 652         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 653         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 654         source!

 664         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 665         in stack-ref).

 668         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 669         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 670         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 671         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 672         result protocol;
 673         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,

 687
 688         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 689         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 690         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 691
 692         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

 709
 710         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 711         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value

 713
 714         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 715         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 716         the top.
 717
 718         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 719         order to narrow it correctly.

 727 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 728
 729         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 730
 731 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 732
 733         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 734         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 735
 736 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 737
 738         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 739         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 740         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 741
 742 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 743

 748
 749         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 750         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 751         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 752         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 753         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 754
 755 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 756
 757         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 758         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 759         a default of /.
 760
 761         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 762
 763 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 764
 765         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 766         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 767         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 768
 769         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 770         make-regexp.
 771
 772 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 773
 774         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 775         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 776         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 777         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 778         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 779         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 780
 781         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 782         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 783         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 784         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 785
 786 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 787
 788         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 789         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 790         sending in bug reports.
 791         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 792         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 793         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 794         display a warning if the two are different.
 795         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 796         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 797         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 798
 799 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 800
 801         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 802
 803 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 804
 805         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 806         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 807
 808         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 809         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 810         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 811         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 812         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 813         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 814         that's okay.
 815
 816         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 817         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 818         regexp interface.
 819
 820         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 821         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 822
 823         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 824         function names.
 825
 826         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 827         fixes.
 828
 829 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 830
 831         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 832         ../configure.in.
 833
 834 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 837         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 838
 839 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 842         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 843         to support printing of structures.
 844         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 845         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 846         commented out printing code.
 847         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 848         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 849
 850 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 851
 852         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 853
 854 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 855
 856         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 857         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 858         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 859         during call to scm-style-repl.
 860
 861 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 862
 863         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 864         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 865         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 866         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 867         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 868
 869 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 870
 871         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 872         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 873         (ice-9 regex).
 874
 875 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 876
 877         * regex.scm: New file.
 878         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 879         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 880
 881 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 882
 883         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

 891         in 1997.
 892
 893 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 894
 895         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 896         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 897         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 898
 899 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 900
 901         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 902         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 903         here.
 904
 905 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 906
 907         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 908

 910
 911         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 912
 913 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 914
 915         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 916         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 917         fixes this too.
 918
 919 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 920
 921         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 922         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 923         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 924
 925 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 926
 927         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 928         the Scheme code like code yet.
 929         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 930
 931 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 932
 933         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 934         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 935         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 936
 937 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 940         use-modules macro
 941         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 942         can't be found.
 943
 944 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 945
 946         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 947
 948 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 949
 950         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 951
 952         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 953         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 954         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 955
 956 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

 963         no plugins.
 964         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 965         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

 976 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 977
 978         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 979         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

 982
 983         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here

 990         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 991         procedures.

1002         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1003         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1004         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1005         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1006
1007 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1008
1009         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1010         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1011
1012 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1014         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

1051 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1054         read gets EOF.
1055         * (exit): alias for quit.
1056
1057 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1058
1059         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1060         return the quit args.
1061         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1062         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1063         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1064
1065         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).

1073
1074         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:

1083         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1084
1085         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1086         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1087         Change hooks to use these functions.
1088
1089         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1090         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1091         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1092         the source! :-)
1093         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1094         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1095         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1096         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1097         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1098         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1099         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1100         traced.
1101
1102         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1103         and exit-frame exceptions.
1104
1105         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1106         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1107         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1108         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1109         result; otherwise display "> ".
1110         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1111
1112         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1113         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1114         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1115         repository version runnable.
1116
1117 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1118
1119         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1120         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1121         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1122         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1123         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1124         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1125
1126 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1127
1128         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1129         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1130         and eval.
1131         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1132         "defined?".
1133         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1134         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1135
1136 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1137
1138         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1139
1140 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1143         %read-sharp layer.
1144
1145 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1148         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1149
1150 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1151
1152         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1153         backtrace.c.)
1154
1155 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1156
1157         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1158         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1159
1160 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1161
1162         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1163
1164         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1165         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1166         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1167         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1168         dynamic linking of modules.
1169         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1170         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1171
1172 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1175
1176 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1177
1178         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1179         that's what it is.
1180
1181         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1182         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1183         was false.
1184
1185 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1188         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1189         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1190
1191 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1194         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1195         yet.
1196
1197 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1200         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1201         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1202
1203 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1204
1205         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1206         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1207         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1208         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1209
1210         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1211         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1212         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1213         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1214         (such as the-scm-module).
1215
1216 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1217
1218         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1219         %search-load-path.
1220
1221 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1222
1223         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1224         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1225         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1226
1227 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1228
1229         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1230         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1231         function, use it accordingly.
1232
1233 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1234
1235         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1236         function of no arguments.
1237         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1238         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1239         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1240         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1241         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1242         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1243         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1244         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1245
1246 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1247
1248         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1249         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1250
1251 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1252
1253         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1254         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1255         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1256         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1257         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1258
1259         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1260         `*features*'.
1261
1262         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1263         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1264         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1265         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1266
1267         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1268
1269         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1270
1271         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1272         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1273         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1274
1275         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1276         error.
1277
1278         Added `before-read-hook'.
1279
1280         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1281
1282         (provide): New function.
1283
1284         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1285         in backtraces.
1286
1287         (backtrace): New function.
1288
1289         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1290         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1291         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1292         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1293         is found in operator position in a frame.
1294
1295         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1296         by default.
1297
1298         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1299         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1300         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1301
1302         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1303
1304         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1305
1306         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1307
1308         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1309
1310 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1313
1314         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1315         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1316
1317         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1318         so they'll get distributed.
1319
1320         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1321         should see as little clutter as possible.
1322         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1323         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1324         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1325
1326         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1327         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1328         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1329         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1330         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1331         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1332         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1333         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1334         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1335         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1336         that are not.
1337         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1338         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1339
1340         * test.scm: New file.
1341
1342         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1343         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1344         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1347         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1348
1349         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1350         work now.
1351         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1352         call %load-announce.
1353
1354 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1355
1356         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1357         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1358         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1359         components.
1360         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1361
1362 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1363
1364         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1365         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1366         SCSH (which this isn't).
1367
1368 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1369
1370         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1371
1372 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1373
1374         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1375         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1376         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1377         these.
1378         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1379         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1380         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1381         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1382         save-stack.
1383
1384 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1385
1386         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1387
1388         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1391         error-catching-loop.
1392         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1393         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1394         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1395
1396         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1397         error-catching-loop.
1398
1399 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1400
1401         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1402         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1403         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1404         should be '(), not #f.
1405
1406         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1407         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1408
1409 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1412         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1413         error-signal.
1414
1415 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1416
1417         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1418         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1419         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1420         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1421

1425
1426 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1427
1428         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1431         throw-handler-default.
1432         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1433         reported.
1434         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1435         acro.
1436         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1437         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1438
1439 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1440
1441         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1442         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1443         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1444         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1445

1447
1448         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1449         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1450         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1451         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1452         ...))
1453         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1454         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1455         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1456         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1457         file-is-directory?
1458
1459 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1462

1464         distribution.
1465
1466         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1467         `switch-repl'.
1468
1469         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1470
1471 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1472
1473         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1474         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1475
1476 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1477
1478         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1479
1480         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1481
1482 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1483
1484         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1485         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1486         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1487         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1488         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1489
1490         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1491         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1492         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1493         they seem redundant.
1494         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1495         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1496         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1497         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1498         directly files starting with "/").
1499         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1500         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1501
1502         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1503
1504 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1505
1506         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1507         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1508         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1509         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1510         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1511         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1512         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1513         robust to just do it in the C code.
1514
1515 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1516
1517         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1518         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1519         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1520         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1521         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1522
1523 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1524
1525         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1526         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1527         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1528
1529 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1530
1531         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1532         system-error, not every kind of error.
1533         (scm-error): new procedure.
1534
1535 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1536
1537         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1538
1539 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1540
1541         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1542         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1543         of args are supplied.
1544         (%%system-errors): removed.
1545         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1546         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1547         %%handle-system-error.
1548         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1549         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1550         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1551         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1552
1553 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1554
1555         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1556         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1557         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1558         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1559
1560 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1561
1562         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1563         the empty list if they are #f.
1564         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1565
1566 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1567
1568         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1569
1570         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1571         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1572         aborting, just the key and subr.
1573         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1574         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1575         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1576
1577 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1580         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1581         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1582         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1583         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1584
1585 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1586
1587         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1588         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1589         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1590         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1591
1592 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1593
1594         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1595         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1596         initialize %load-path.
1597
1598         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1599         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1600
1601 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1602
1603         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1604         Add the directory named after the version number.
1605         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1606         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1607         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1608         sitedatadir): New definitions.

1614 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1615
1616         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1617         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1618         in the Makefile directly.
1619         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1620         for these.
1621         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1622         aux_files.

1632
1633 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1634
1635         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1636         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

1653         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1654         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

1657
1658         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1659         (manifest): Deleted.
1660         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

1662
1663 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1664
1665         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,

1669
1670 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1671
1672         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1673
1674 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
1675

1677
1678
