1 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
3 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
4 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
5 ("position"): New command.
6 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
7 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
8 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
9 to return a valid state.)
10 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
12 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
14 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
15 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
18 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
20 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
21 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
23 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
25 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
27 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
29 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
30 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
32 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
33 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
34 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
36 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
39 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
41 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
42 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
44 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
46 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
48 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
49 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
50 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
51 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
53 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
56 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
57 both forward and backward views of the stack
58 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
59 Use selector `frame-number';
60 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
61 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
63 Use readline conditionally.
65 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
67 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
68 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
69 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
71 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
72 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
75 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
77 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
79 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
81 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
83 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
85 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
87 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
88 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
89 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
90 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
91 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
92 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
93 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
94 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
95 libguile-config-stamp.
96 * version.scm.in: Delete.
97 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
98 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
99 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
100 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
102 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
104 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
105 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
106 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
108 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
109 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
110 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
111 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
114 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
116 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
118 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
120 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
122 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
123 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
125 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
127 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
128 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
129 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
130 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
131 objects starting with '#/'.
133 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
135 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
136 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
137 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
138 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
139 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
140 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
142 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
143 module-modified): New procedures.
144 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
145 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
147 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
149 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
152 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
154 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
155 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
156 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
158 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
161 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
163 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
164 at multiple calls to read.
165 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
166 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
167 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
168 continued-lines prompt.
170 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
173 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
175 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
176 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
178 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
180 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
181 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
184 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
186 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
187 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
189 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
190 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
191 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
192 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
193 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
196 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
198 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
199 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
201 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
203 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
204 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
205 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
206 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
208 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
210 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
212 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
213 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
214 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
217 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
219 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
220 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
221 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
222 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
223 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
224 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
225 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
226 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
227 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
228 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
229 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
231 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
233 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
234 peeked from the stream.
235 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
236 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
237 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
239 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
241 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
242 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
244 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
246 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
247 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
248 exiting repl with single control-D.
250 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
252 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
253 error catching loop after quit received.
254 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
256 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
257 primitive exit if non-interactive.
258 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
260 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
261 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
263 * popen.scm: new file.
265 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
267 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
268 (reverse-iota): removed.
270 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
272 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
273 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
275 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
277 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
278 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
279 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
280 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
281 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
283 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
285 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
287 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
288 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
290 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
291 Guile's module system.
293 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
295 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
296 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
297 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
298 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
299 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
300 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
302 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
303 '() when the condition is false.
305 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
307 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
309 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
311 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
313 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
315 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
316 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
317 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
319 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
321 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
322 argument order for hash-fold.
324 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
326 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
328 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
329 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
331 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
332 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
333 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
334 has been added to the load path).
338 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
340 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
341 module between system and user state.
343 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
345 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
347 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
350 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
352 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
353 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
354 system can create a wrapper class for it.
356 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
358 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
359 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
360 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
361 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
362 stack frame encountered.
364 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
365 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
366 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
367 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
370 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
371 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
372 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
373 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
376 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
377 define-module switches:
382 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
385 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
386 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
387 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
388 module it is a system frame.
390 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
391 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
392 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
393 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
394 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
396 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
397 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
398 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
399 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
400 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
401 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
403 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
405 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
406 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
408 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
409 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
410 closure to the module.
412 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
414 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
416 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
418 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
420 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
422 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
424 Fix from Russ McManus:
425 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
426 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
427 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
428 either an optional or required value.
430 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
432 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
434 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
435 of the '() key, not `rest'.
437 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
438 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
439 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
440 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
442 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
444 * optargs.scm: New file.
445 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
446 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
448 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
450 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
451 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
452 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
454 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
456 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
457 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
460 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
462 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
464 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
466 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
467 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
468 applied to the module itself.
470 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
472 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
474 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
475 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
477 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
479 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
481 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
483 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
485 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
487 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
488 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
490 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
492 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
493 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
494 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
495 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
496 among BINDINGS is referenced.
497 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
498 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
500 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
502 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
503 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
505 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
507 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
508 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
511 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
513 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
515 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
517 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
519 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
521 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
522 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
523 adapt to the new hooks.
525 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
527 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
528 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
529 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
531 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
532 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
534 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
535 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
536 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
537 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
538 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
539 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
540 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
541 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
542 first to register linked modules.
544 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
545 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
546 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
548 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
549 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
550 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
551 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
553 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
555 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
558 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
559 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
560 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
562 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
564 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
565 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
566 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
568 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
570 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
571 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
572 result of the last form.
574 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
576 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
579 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
581 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
582 readline-set!: New options interface.
584 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
586 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
588 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
589 at the end of boot-9.scm.
591 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
593 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
594 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
596 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
598 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
600 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
602 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
603 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
605 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
607 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
609 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
611 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
614 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
616 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
617 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
619 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
621 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
623 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
624 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
625 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
627 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
628 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
630 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
631 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
632 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
634 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
635 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
636 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
637 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
638 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
639 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
641 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
643 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
644 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
646 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
648 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
649 and short vectors #h(...).
651 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
653 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
654 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
655 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
657 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
659 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
660 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
661 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
663 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
665 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
666 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
668 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
669 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
670 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
671 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
673 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
675 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
678 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
679 order to allow the empty list as arg.
680 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
681 context with traps enabled.
683 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
685 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
687 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
689 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
691 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
692 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
693 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
694 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
695 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
697 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
699 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
700 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
702 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
704 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
706 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
708 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
710 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
712 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
714 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
716 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
717 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
719 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
721 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
722 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
723 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
724 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
727 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
728 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
729 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
731 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
733 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
734 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
735 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
736 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
737 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
738 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
739 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
741 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
743 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
745 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
747 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
748 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
749 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
750 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
751 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
752 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
754 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
756 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
757 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
758 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
761 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
763 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
765 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
767 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
769 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
771 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
774 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
776 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
778 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
780 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
781 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
783 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
785 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
786 similar in use to `use-modules'.
787 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
788 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
790 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
791 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
793 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
795 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
797 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
799 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
800 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
803 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
804 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
806 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
807 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
808 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
810 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
812 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
814 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
816 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
817 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
819 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
821 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
823 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
825 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
826 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
828 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
830 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
833 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
835 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
836 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
838 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
840 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
842 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
844 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
847 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
849 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
850 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
851 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
852 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
853 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
856 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
858 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
859 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
860 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
862 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
864 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
866 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
867 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
869 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
871 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
872 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
873 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
874 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
875 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
876 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
877 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
880 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
882 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
885 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
887 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
888 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
889 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
890 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
891 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
892 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
894 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
896 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
897 usefully so they will work from a script.
899 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
901 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
902 neighborhood of the record code.
904 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
906 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
907 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
908 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
909 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
911 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
913 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
914 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
915 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
917 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
919 Add support for readline function.
920 * readline.scm: New module.
921 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
922 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
923 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
925 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
926 repl-reader to use them.
927 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
929 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
931 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
933 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
934 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
936 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
938 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
939 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
940 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
942 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
944 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
945 #f, abort terminates the process.
946 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
947 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
949 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
951 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
952 print-state, throw it away.
954 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
956 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
959 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
961 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
962 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
963 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
964 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
966 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
967 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
969 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
971 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
973 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
975 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
976 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
977 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
978 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
979 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
981 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
982 distribution and installation.
983 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
985 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
987 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
989 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
991 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
992 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
993 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
995 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
996 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
999 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1001 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1003 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1005 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1007 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1008 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1009 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1010 field a separate argument.
1012 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1014 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1016 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1018 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1022 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1026 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1028 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1029 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1030 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1031 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1032 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1033 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1035 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1036 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1037 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1038 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1039 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1042 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1044 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1046 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1048 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1049 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1051 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1053 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1055 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1056 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1057 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1058 expansion inside the slib module.
1060 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1062 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1063 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1064 (let): New core form.
1065 (if): Removed from core language.
1066 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1067 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1068 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1070 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1071 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1072 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1074 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1075 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1078 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1080 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1081 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1083 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1085 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1086 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1087 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1088 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1089 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1090 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1091 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1092 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1094 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1096 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1098 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1100 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1101 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1102 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1103 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1104 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1106 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1107 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1108 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1110 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1111 the syncase interface.
1113 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1115 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1116 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1117 workings of the current module system).
1119 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1121 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1122 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1131 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1134 according to the following priorities:
1135 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1136 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1138 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1139 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1140 (new-interpreter): New function.
1142 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1143 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1144 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1162 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1163 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1168 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1169 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1171 symbols matching regexp.
1173 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1174 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1177 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1178 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;

1181 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1183 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1184 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1186 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1188 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1189 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1191 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1192 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1194 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1196 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1199 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1200 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1204 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1205 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1206 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1208 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1218 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1220 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1221 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1222 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1224 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1225 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1228 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1229 order to narrow it correctly.
1230 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1232 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1234 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

1237 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1239 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1241 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1243 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1244 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1246 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1248 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1249 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1250 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1252 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1254 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1257 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1259 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1260 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1261 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1262 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1263 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1265 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1267 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1268 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1271 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1284 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1285 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1286 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1287 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1288 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1289 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1291 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1292 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1293 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1294 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1296 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1298 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1299 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1300 sending in bug reports.
1301 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1302 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1303 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1304 display a warning if the two are different.
1305 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1306 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1307 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1311 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1313 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1315 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1316 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1318 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1319 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1320 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1321 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1322 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1323 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1326 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1327 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1330 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1331 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1333 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1336 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1339 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1344 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1346 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1347 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1349 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1351 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1352 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1353 to support printing of structures.
1354 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1355 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1356 commented out printing code.
1357 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1358 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1360 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1364 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1366 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1367 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1368 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1369 during call to scm-style-repl.
1371 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1373 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1374 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1375 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1376 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1377 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1379 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1381 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1382 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1385 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1387 * regex.scm: New file.
1388 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1389 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1394 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1395 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1396 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1398 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1400 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1403 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1405 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1406 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1407 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1409 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1411 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1412 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1415 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1417 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1419 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1421 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1423 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1425 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1426 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1429 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1431 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1432 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1433 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1435 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1437 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1438 the Scheme code like code yet.
1439 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1441 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1443 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1444 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1445 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1447 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1449 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1451 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1454 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1456 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1458 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1460 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1462 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1463 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1464 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1466 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1468 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1469 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1470 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1472 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1474 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1475 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1477 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

1489 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1491 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1493 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1494 instead of in libguile.
1495 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1496 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1498 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1500 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1502 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1503 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1505 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1507 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1508 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1510 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1512 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1513 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1514 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1515 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1517 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1519 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1520 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1522 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1524 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1526 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1528 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1529 keywords and symbols.
1531 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1533 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1535 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1536 Don't define read-sharp.
1538 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1539 (read-sharp): removed.
1540 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1541 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

1545 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1547 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1548 primitive procedure.)

1551 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1553 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1555 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1557 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1559 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1561 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1563 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1565 * (exit): alias for quit.
1567 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1569 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1570 return the quit args.
1571 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1572 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1573 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1575 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1577 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1579 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1581 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1582 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1584 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1585 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1587 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1588 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1591 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1593 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1595 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1596 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1597 Change hooks to use these functions.
1599 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1600 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1601 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1603 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1604 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1605 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1606 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1607 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1608 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1609 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1612 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1613 and exit-frame exceptions.
1615 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1616 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1617 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1618 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1619 result; otherwise display "> ".
1620 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1622 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1623 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1624 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1625 repository version runnable.
1627 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1629 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1630 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1631 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1632 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1633 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1634 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1636 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1638 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1639 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1641 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1643 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1644 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1646 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1648 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1650 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1652 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1655 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1657 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1658 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1660 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1662 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1665 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1667 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1668 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1670 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1672 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1674 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1675 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1676 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1677 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1678 dynamic linking of modules.
1679 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1680 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1682 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1684 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1686 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1688 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1691 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1692 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1695 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1697 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1698 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1699 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1701 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1703 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1704 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1707 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1709 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1710 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1711 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1713 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1715 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1716 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1717 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1718 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1720 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1721 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1722 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1723 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1724 (such as the-scm-module).
1726 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1728 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1731 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1733 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1734 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1735 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1737 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1739 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1740 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1741 function, use it accordingly.
1743 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1745 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1746 function of no arguments.
1747 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1748 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1749 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1750 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1751 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1752 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1753 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1754 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1756 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1758 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1759 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1761 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1763 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1764 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1765 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1766 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1767 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1769 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1772 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1773 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1774 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1775 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1777 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1779 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1781 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1782 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1783 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1785 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1788 Added `before-read-hook'.
1790 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1792 (provide): New function.
1794 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1797 (backtrace): New function.
1799 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1800 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1801 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1802 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1803 is found in operator position in a frame.
1805 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1808 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1809 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1810 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1812 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1814 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1816 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1818 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1820 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1822 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1824 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1825 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1827 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1828 so they'll get distributed.
1830 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1831 should see as little clutter as possible.
1832 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1833 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1834 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1836 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1837 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1838 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1839 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1840 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1841 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1842 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1843 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1844 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1845 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1847 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1848 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1850 * test.scm: New file.
1852 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1853 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1854 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1856 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1857 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1859 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1861 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1862 call %load-announce.
1864 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1866 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1867 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1868 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1870 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1872 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1874 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1875 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1876 SCSH (which this isn't).
1878 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1880 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1882 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1884 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1885 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1886 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1888 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1889 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1890 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1891 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1894 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1896 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1898 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1900 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1901 error-catching-loop.
1902 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1903 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1904 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1906 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1907 error-catching-loop.
1909 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1911 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1912 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1913 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1914 should be '(), not #f.
1916 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1917 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1919 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1921 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1922 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1925 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1927 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1928 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1929 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1930 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1932 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1934 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1936 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1938 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1940 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1941 throw-handler-default.
1942 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1944 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1946 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1947 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1949 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1951 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1952 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1953 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1954 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1956 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1958 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1959 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1960 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1961 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1963 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1964 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1965 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1966 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1969 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1971 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1973 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1976 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1979 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1981 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1983 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1984 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1986 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1988 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1990 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1992 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1994 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1995 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1996 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1997 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1998 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2000 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2001 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2002 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2003 they seem redundant.
2004 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2005 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2006 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2007 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2008 directly files starting with "/").
2009 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2010 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2012 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2014 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2016 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2017 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2018 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2019 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2020 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2021 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2022 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2023 robust to just do it in the C code.
2025 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2027 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2028 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2029 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2030 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2031 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2033 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2035 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2036 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2037 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2039 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2041 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2042 system-error, not every kind of error.
2043 (scm-error): new procedure.
2045 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2047 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2049 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2051 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2052 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2053 of args are supplied.
2054 (%%system-errors): removed.
2055 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2056 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2057 %%handle-system-error.
2058 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2059 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2060 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2061 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2063 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2065 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2066 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2067 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2068 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2070 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2072 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2073 the empty list if they are #f.
2074 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2076 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2078 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2080 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2081 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2082 aborting, just the key and subr.
2083 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2084 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2085 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2087 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2089 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2090 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2091 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2092 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2093 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2095 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2097 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2098 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2099 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2100 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2102 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2104 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2105 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2106 initialize %load-path.
2108 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2109 "/", use one to separate it from the file.

2134 here, where people expect to find them.
