1 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
3 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
4 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
6 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
8 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
9 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
11 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
13 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
16 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
18 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
19 source of the numerous very short changes.
21 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
23 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
26 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
29 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
31 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
34 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
36 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
37 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
39 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
41 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
44 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
46 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
47 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
48 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
50 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
52 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
53 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
54 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
55 Narazaki for this change.
57 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
59 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
60 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
63 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
64 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
66 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
68 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
69 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
71 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
73 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
74 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
75 use define-public to export from the module.
77 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
79 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
80 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
81 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
83 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
85 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
87 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
89 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
90 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
92 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
94 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
96 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
98 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
100 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
102 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
103 long_long uniform vectors.
105 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
107 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
108 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
110 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
112 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
113 script to create generated files like this one.
115 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
117 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
118 available before using getpw and getuid.
119 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
120 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
122 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
123 check for .guile, instead of stat.
124 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
126 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
127 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
128 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
130 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
131 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
133 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
135 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
137 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
140 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
141 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
143 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
145 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
147 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
148 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
149 ("position"): New command.
150 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
151 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
152 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
153 to return a valid state.)
154 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
156 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
158 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
159 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
162 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
164 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
165 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
167 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
169 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
171 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
173 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
174 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
176 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
177 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
178 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
180 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
183 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
185 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
186 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
188 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
190 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
192 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
193 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
194 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
195 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
197 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
200 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
201 both forward and backward views of the stack
202 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
203 Use selector `frame-number';
204 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
205 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
207 Use readline conditionally.
209 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
211 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
212 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
213 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
215 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
216 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
219 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
221 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
223 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
225 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
227 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
229 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
231 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
232 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
233 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
234 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
235 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
236 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
237 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
238 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
239 libguile-config-stamp.
240 * version.scm.in: Delete.
241 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
242 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
243 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
244 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
246 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
248 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
249 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
250 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
252 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
253 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
254 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
255 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
258 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
260 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
262 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
264 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
266 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
267 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
269 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
271 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
272 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
273 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
274 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
275 objects starting with '#/'.
277 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
279 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
280 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
281 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
282 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
283 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
284 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
286 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
287 module-modified): New procedures.
288 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
289 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
291 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
293 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
296 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
298 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
299 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
300 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
302 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
305 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
307 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
308 at multiple calls to read.
309 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
310 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
311 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
312 continued-lines prompt.
314 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
317 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
319 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
320 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
322 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
324 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
325 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
328 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
330 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
331 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
333 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
334 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
335 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
336 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
337 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
340 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
342 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
343 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
345 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
347 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
348 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
349 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
350 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
352 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
354 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
356 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
357 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
358 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
361 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
363 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
364 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
365 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
366 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
367 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
368 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
369 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
370 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
371 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
372 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
373 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
375 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
377 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
378 peeked from the stream.
379 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
380 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
381 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
383 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
385 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
386 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
388 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
390 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
391 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
392 exiting repl with single control-D.
394 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
396 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
397 error catching loop after quit received.
398 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
400 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
401 primitive exit if non-interactive.
402 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
404 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
405 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
407 * popen.scm: new file.
409 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
411 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
412 (reverse-iota): removed.
414 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
416 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
417 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
419 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
421 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
422 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
423 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
424 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
425 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
427 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
429 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
431 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
432 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
434 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
435 Guile's module system.
437 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
439 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
440 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
441 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
442 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
443 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
444 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
446 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
447 '() when the condition is false.
449 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
453 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
455 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
457 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
459 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
460 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
461 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
463 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
465 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
466 argument order for hash-fold.
468 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
470 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
472 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
473 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
475 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
476 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
477 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
478 has been added to the load path).
482 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
484 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
485 module between system and user state.
487 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
489 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
491 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
494 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
496 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
497 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
498 system can create a wrapper class for it.
500 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
502 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
503 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
504 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
505 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
506 stack frame encountered.
508 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
509 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
510 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
511 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
514 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
515 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
516 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
517 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
520 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
521 define-module switches:
526 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
529 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
530 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
531 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
532 module it is a system frame.
534 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
535 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
536 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
537 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
538 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
540 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
541 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
542 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
543 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
544 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
545 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
547 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
549 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
550 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
552 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
553 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
554 closure to the module.
556 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
558 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
560 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
562 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
564 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
566 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
568 Fix from Russ McManus:
569 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
570 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
571 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
572 either an optional or required value.
574 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
576 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
578 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
579 of the '() key, not `rest'.
581 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
582 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
583 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
584 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
586 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
588 * optargs.scm: New file.
589 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
590 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
592 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
594 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
595 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
596 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
598 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
600 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
601 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
604 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
606 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
608 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
610 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
611 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
612 applied to the module itself.
614 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
616 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
618 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
619 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
621 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
623 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
625 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
627 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
629 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
631 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
632 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
634 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
636 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
637 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
638 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
639 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
640 among BINDINGS is referenced.
641 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
642 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
644 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
646 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
647 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
649 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
651 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
652 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
655 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
657 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
659 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
661 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
663 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
665 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
666 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
667 adapt to the new hooks.
669 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
671 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
672 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
673 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
675 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
676 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
678 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
679 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
680 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
681 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
682 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
683 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
684 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
685 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
686 first to register linked modules.
688 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
689 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
690 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
692 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
693 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
694 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
695 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
697 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
699 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
702 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
703 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
704 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
706 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
708 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
709 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
710 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
712 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
714 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
715 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
716 result of the last form.
718 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
720 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
723 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
725 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
726 readline-set!: New options interface.
728 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
730 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
732 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
733 at the end of boot-9.scm.
735 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
737 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
738 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
740 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
742 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
744 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
746 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
747 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
749 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
751 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
753 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
755 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
758 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
760 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
761 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
763 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
765 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
767 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
768 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
769 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
771 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
772 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
774 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
775 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
776 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
778 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
779 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
780 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
781 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
782 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
783 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
785 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
787 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
788 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
790 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
792 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
793 and short vectors #h(...).
795 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
797 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
798 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
799 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
801 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
803 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
804 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
805 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
807 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
809 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
810 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
812 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
813 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
814 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
815 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
817 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
819 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
822 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
823 order to allow the empty list as arg.
824 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
825 context with traps enabled.
827 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
829 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
831 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
833 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
835 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
836 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
837 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
838 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
839 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
841 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
843 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
844 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
846 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
848 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
850 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
852 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
854 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
856 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
858 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
860 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
861 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
863 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
865 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
866 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
867 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
868 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
871 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
872 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
873 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
875 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
877 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
878 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
879 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
880 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
881 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
882 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
883 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
885 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
887 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
889 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
891 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
892 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
893 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
894 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
895 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
896 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
898 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
900 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
901 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
902 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
905 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
907 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
909 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
911 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
913 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
915 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
918 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
920 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
922 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
924 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
925 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
927 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
929 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
930 similar in use to `use-modules'.
931 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
932 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
934 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
935 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
937 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
939 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
941 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
943 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
944 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
947 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
948 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
950 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
951 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
952 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
954 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
956 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
958 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
960 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
961 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
963 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
965 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
967 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
969 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
970 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
972 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
974 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
977 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
979 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
980 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
982 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
984 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
986 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
988 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
991 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
993 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
994 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
995 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
996 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
997 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1000 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1002 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1003 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1004 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1006 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1008 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1010 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1011 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1013 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1015 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1016 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1017 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1018 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1019 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1020 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1021 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1024 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1026 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1029 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1031 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1032 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1033 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1034 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1035 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1036 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1038 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1040 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1041 usefully so they will work from a script.
1043 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1045 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1046 neighborhood of the record code.
1048 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1050 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1051 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1052 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1053 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1055 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1057 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1058 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1059 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1061 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1063 Add support for readline function.
1064 * readline.scm: New module.
1065 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1066 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1067 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1069 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1070 repl-reader to use them.
1071 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1073 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1075 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1077 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1078 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1080 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1082 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1083 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1084 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1086 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1088 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1089 #f, abort terminates the process.
1090 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1091 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1093 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1095 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1096 print-state, throw it away.
1098 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1100 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1103 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1105 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1106 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1107 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1108 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1110 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1111 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1113 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1115 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1117 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1119 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1120 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1121 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1122 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1123 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1125 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1126 distribution and installation.
1127 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1129 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1131 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1133 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1135 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1136 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1137 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1139 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1140 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1143 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1145 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1147 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1149 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1151 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1152 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1153 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1154 field a separate argument.
1156 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1158 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1160 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1162 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1166 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1168 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.

1173 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1174 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1175 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1176 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1177 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1179 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1180 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1181 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1182 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1183 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1186 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1188 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1193 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1195 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1197 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1199 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1200 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1201 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1202 expansion inside the slib module.
1204 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1206 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1207 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1212 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1214 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1215 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1216 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1218 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1219 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1222 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1224 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1225 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1227 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1229 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1230 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1231 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1232 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1233 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1234 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1235 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1236 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1238 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1240 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1242 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1244 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1245 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1246 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1247 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1248 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1250 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1251 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1252 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1254 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1255 the syncase interface.
1257 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1259 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1260 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1261 workings of the current module system).
1263 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1265 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1266 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1269 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1271 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1272 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1273 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1275 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1277 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1278 according to the following priorities:
1279 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1280 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1282 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1283 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1284 (new-interpreter): New function.
1286 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1287 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1288 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1290 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1292 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1294 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1296 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1298 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1300 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1302 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1304 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1306 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1307 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1310 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1312 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1313 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1314 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1315 symbols matching regexp.
1317 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1318 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1321 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1322 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1323 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1324 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1325 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1327 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1328 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1330 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1332 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1333 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1335 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1336 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1338 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1340 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1343 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1344 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1346 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1348 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1350 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1352 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1354 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1355 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1357 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1362 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1364 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1365 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1366 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1368 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1369 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1372 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1373 order to narrow it correctly.
1374 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1376 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1378 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1379 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1381 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1383 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1385 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1387 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1388 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1390 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1392 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1393 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1394 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1396 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1398 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1401 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1403 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1404 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1405 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1406 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1407 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1409 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1411 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1412 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1415 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1428 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1429 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1430 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1431 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1432 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1433 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1435 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1436 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1437 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1438 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1440 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1442 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1443 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1444 sending in bug reports.
1445 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1446 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1447 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1448 display a warning if the two are different.
1449 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1450 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1455 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1457 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1459 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1460 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1462 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1463 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1464 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1465 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1466 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1467 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1470 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1471 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1474 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1475 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1477 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1480 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1483 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1488 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1490 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1491 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1493 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1495 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1496 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1497 to support printing of structures.
1498 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1499 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1500 commented out printing code.
1501 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1502 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1504 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1508 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1510 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1511 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1512 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1513 during call to scm-style-repl.
1515 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1517 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1518 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1519 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1520 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1521 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1523 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1525 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1526 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1529 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1531 * regex.scm: New file.
1532 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1533 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1535 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1537 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1538 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1539 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1540 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1542 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1544 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1547 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1549 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1550 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1551 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1553 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1555 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1556 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1559 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1561 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1563 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1565 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1567 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1569 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1570 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1573 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1575 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1576 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1577 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1579 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1581 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1582 the Scheme code like code yet.
1583 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1585 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1587 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1588 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1589 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1591 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1593 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1595 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1598 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1600 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1602 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1604 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1606 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1607 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1608 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1610 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1612 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1613 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1614 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

1626 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1628 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1630 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1632 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1633 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1635 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1637 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1638 instead of in libguile.
1639 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1640 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1642 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1644 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1646 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1647 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1649 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1651 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1652 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1654 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1656 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1657 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1658 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1659 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1661 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1663 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1664 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1666 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1668 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1670 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1672 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1673 keywords and symbols.
1675 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1677 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1679 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1680 Don't define read-sharp.
1682 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1683 (read-sharp): removed.
1684 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1685 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1687 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1689 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1691 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1692 primitive procedure.)
1694 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1695 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1697 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1699 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1701 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1703 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1705 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1707 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1709 * (exit): alias for quit.
1711 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1713 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1714 return the quit args.
1715 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1716 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1717 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1719 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1721 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1723 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1725 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1726 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1728 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1729 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1731 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1732 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1735 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1737 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1739 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1740 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1741 Change hooks to use these functions.
1743 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1744 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1745 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1747 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1748 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1749 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1750 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1751 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1752 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1753 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1756 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1757 and exit-frame exceptions.
1759 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1760 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1761 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1762 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1763 result; otherwise display "> ".
1764 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1766 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1767 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1768 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1769 repository version runnable.
1771 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1773 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1774 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1775 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1776 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1777 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1778 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1780 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1782 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1783 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1785 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1787 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1788 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1790 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1792 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1794 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1796 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1799 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1801 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1802 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1804 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1806 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1809 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1811 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1812 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1814 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1816 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1818 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1819 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1820 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1821 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1822 dynamic linking of modules.
1823 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1824 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1826 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1828 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1830 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1832 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1835 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1836 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1839 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1841 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1842 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1843 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1845 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1847 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1848 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1851 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1853 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1854 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1855 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1857 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1859 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1860 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1861 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1862 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1864 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1865 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1866 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1867 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1868 (such as the-scm-module).
1870 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1872 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1875 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1877 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1878 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1879 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1881 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1883 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1884 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1885 function, use it accordingly.
1887 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1889 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1890 function of no arguments.
1891 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1892 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1893 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1894 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1895 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1896 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1897 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1898 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1900 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1902 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1903 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1905 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1907 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1908 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1909 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1910 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1911 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1913 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1916 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1917 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1918 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1919 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1921 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1923 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1925 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1926 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1927 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1929 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1932 Added `before-read-hook'.
1934 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1936 (provide): New function.
1938 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1941 (backtrace): New function.
1943 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1944 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1945 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1946 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1947 is found in operator position in a frame.
1949 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1952 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1953 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1954 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1956 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1958 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1960 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1962 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1964 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1966 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1968 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1969 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1971 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1972 so they'll get distributed.
1974 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1975 should see as little clutter as possible.
1976 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1977 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1978 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1980 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1981 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1982 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1983 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1984 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1985 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1986 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1987 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1988 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1989 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1991 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1992 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1994 * test.scm: New file.
1996 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1997 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1998 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2000 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2001 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2003 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2005 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2006 call %load-announce.
2008 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2010 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2011 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2012 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2014 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2016 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2018 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2019 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2020 SCSH (which this isn't).
2022 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2024 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2026 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2028 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2029 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2030 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2032 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2033 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2034 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2035 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2038 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2040 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2042 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2044 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2045 error-catching-loop.
2046 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2047 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2048 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2050 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2051 error-catching-loop.
2053 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2055 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2056 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2057 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2058 should be '(), not #f.
2060 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2061 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2063 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2065 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2066 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2069 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2071 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2072 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2073 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2074 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2076 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2078 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2080 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2082 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2084 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2085 throw-handler-default.
2086 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2088 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2090 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2091 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2093 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2095 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2096 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2097 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2098 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2100 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2102 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2103 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2104 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2105 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2107 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2108 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2109 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2110 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2113 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2115 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2117 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2120 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2123 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2125 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2127 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2128 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2130 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2132 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2134 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2136 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2138 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2139 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2140 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2141 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2142 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2144 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2145 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2146 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2147 they seem redundant.
2148 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2149 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2150 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2151 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2152 directly files starting with "/").
2153 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2154 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2156 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2158 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2160 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2161 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2162 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2163 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2164 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2165 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2166 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2167 robust to just do it in the C code.
2169 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2171 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2172 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2173 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2174 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2175 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2177 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2179 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2180 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2181 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2183 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2185 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2186 system-error, not every kind of error.
2187 (scm-error): new procedure.
2189 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2191 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2193 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2195 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2196 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2197 of args are supplied.
2198 (%%system-errors): removed.
2199 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2200 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2201 %%handle-system-error.
2202 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2203 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2204 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2205 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2207 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2209 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2210 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2211 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2212 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2214 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2216 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2217 the empty list if they are #f.
2218 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2220 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2222 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2224 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2225 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2226 aborting, just the key and subr.
2227 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2228 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2229 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2231 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2233 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2234 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2235 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2236 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2237 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2239 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2241 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2242 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2243 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2244 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2246 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2248 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2249 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2250 initialize %load-path.
2252 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2253 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2255 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2257 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2258 Add the directory named after the version number.
2259 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2260 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2261 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2262 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2263 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2264 (install): Create the above directories.
2265 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2266 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2268 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2270 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2271 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2272 in the Makefile directly.
2273 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2275 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2277 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2278 here, where people expect to find them.
2280 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2282 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2283 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2285 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2287 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2289 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2290 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2292 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2294 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2295 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2297 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2298 weak-key-hash-table.
2300 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2302 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2303 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2304 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2305 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2306 (%open-file): removed.
2307 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2308 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2310 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2312 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2313 (manifest): Deleted.
2314 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2315 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2317 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2319 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2320 now that they throw errors directly.
2321 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2322 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2324 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2326 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2328 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2330 * The more things change...
