1 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
3 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
4 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
6 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
8 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
9 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
10 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
11 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
13 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
15 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
16 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
18 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
20 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
21 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
23 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
25 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
28 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
30 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
31 source of the numerous very short changes.
33 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
35 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
38 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
41 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
43 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
46 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
48 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
49 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
51 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
53 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
56 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
58 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
59 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
60 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
62 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
64 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
65 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
66 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
67 Narazaki for this change.
69 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
71 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
72 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
75 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
76 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
78 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
80 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
81 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
83 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
85 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
86 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
87 use define-public to export from the module.
89 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
91 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
92 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
93 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
95 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
97 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
99 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
101 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
102 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
104 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
106 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
108 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
110 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
112 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
114 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
115 long_long uniform vectors.
117 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
119 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
120 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
122 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
124 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
125 script to create generated files like this one.
127 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
129 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
130 available before using getpw and getuid.
131 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
132 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
134 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
135 check for .guile, instead of stat.
136 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
138 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
139 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
140 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
142 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
143 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
145 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
147 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
149 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
152 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
153 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
155 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
157 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
159 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
160 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
161 ("position"): New command.
162 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
163 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
164 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
165 to return a valid state.)
166 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
168 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
170 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
171 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
174 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
176 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
177 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
179 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
181 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
183 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
185 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
186 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
188 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
189 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
190 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
192 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
195 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
197 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
198 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
200 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
202 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
204 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
205 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
206 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
207 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
209 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
212 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
213 both forward and backward views of the stack
214 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
215 Use selector `frame-number';
216 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
217 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
219 Use readline conditionally.
221 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
223 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
224 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
225 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
227 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
228 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
231 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
233 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
235 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
237 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
239 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
241 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
243 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
244 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
245 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
246 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
247 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
248 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
249 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
250 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
251 libguile-config-stamp.
252 * version.scm.in: Delete.
253 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
254 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
255 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
256 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
258 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
260 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
261 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
262 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
264 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
265 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
266 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
267 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
270 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
272 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
274 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
276 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
278 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
279 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
281 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
283 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
284 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
285 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
286 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
287 objects starting with '#/'.
289 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
291 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
292 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
293 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
294 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
295 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
296 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
298 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
299 module-modified): New procedures.
300 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
301 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
303 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
305 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
308 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
310 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
311 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
312 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
314 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
317 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
319 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
320 at multiple calls to read.
321 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
322 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
323 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
324 continued-lines prompt.
326 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
329 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
331 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
332 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
334 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
336 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
337 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
340 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
342 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
343 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
345 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
346 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
347 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
348 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
349 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
352 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
354 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
355 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
357 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
359 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
360 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
361 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
362 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
364 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
366 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
368 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
369 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
370 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
373 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
375 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
376 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
377 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
378 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
379 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
380 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
381 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
382 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
383 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
384 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
385 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
387 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
389 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
390 peeked from the stream.
391 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
392 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
393 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
395 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
397 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
398 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
400 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
402 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
403 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
404 exiting repl with single control-D.
406 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
408 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
409 error catching loop after quit received.
410 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
412 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
413 primitive exit if non-interactive.
414 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
416 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
417 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
419 * popen.scm: new file.
421 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
423 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
424 (reverse-iota): removed.
426 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
428 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
429 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
431 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
433 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
434 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
435 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
436 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
437 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
439 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
441 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
443 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
444 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
446 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
447 Guile's module system.
449 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
451 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
452 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
453 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
454 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
455 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
456 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
458 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
459 '() when the condition is false.
461 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
463 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
465 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
467 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
469 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
471 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
472 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
473 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
475 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
477 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
478 argument order for hash-fold.
480 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
482 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
484 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
485 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
487 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
488 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
489 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
490 has been added to the load path).
494 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
496 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
497 module between system and user state.
499 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
501 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
503 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
506 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
508 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
509 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
510 system can create a wrapper class for it.
512 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
514 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
515 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
516 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
517 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
518 stack frame encountered.
520 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
521 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
522 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
523 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
526 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
527 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
528 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
529 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
532 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
533 define-module switches:
538 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
541 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
542 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
543 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
544 module it is a system frame.
546 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
547 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
548 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
549 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
550 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
552 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
553 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
554 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
555 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
556 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
557 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
559 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
561 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
562 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
564 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
565 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
566 closure to the module.
568 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
570 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
572 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
574 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
576 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
578 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
580 Fix from Russ McManus:
581 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
582 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
583 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
584 either an optional or required value.
586 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
588 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
590 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
591 of the '() key, not `rest'.
593 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
594 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
595 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
596 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
598 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
600 * optargs.scm: New file.
601 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
602 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
604 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
606 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
607 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
608 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
610 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
612 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
613 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
616 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
618 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
620 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
622 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
623 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
624 applied to the module itself.
626 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
628 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
630 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
631 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
633 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
635 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
637 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
639 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
641 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
643 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
644 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
646 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
648 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
649 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
650 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
651 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
652 among BINDINGS is referenced.
653 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
654 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
656 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
658 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
659 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
661 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
663 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
664 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
667 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
669 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
671 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
673 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
675 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
677 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
678 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
679 adapt to the new hooks.
681 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
683 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
684 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
685 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
687 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
688 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
690 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
691 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
692 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
693 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
694 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
695 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
696 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
697 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
698 first to register linked modules.
700 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
701 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
702 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
704 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
705 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
706 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
707 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
709 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
711 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
714 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
715 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
716 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
718 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
720 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
721 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
722 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
724 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
726 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
727 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
728 result of the last form.
730 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
732 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
735 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
737 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
738 readline-set!: New options interface.
740 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
742 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
744 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
745 at the end of boot-9.scm.
747 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
749 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
750 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
752 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
754 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
756 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
758 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
759 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
761 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
763 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
765 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
767 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
770 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
772 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
773 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
775 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
777 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
779 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
780 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
781 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
783 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
784 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
786 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
787 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
788 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
790 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
791 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
792 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
793 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
794 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
795 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
797 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
799 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
800 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
802 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
804 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
805 and short vectors #h(...).
807 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
809 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
810 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
811 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
813 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
815 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
816 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
817 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
819 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
821 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
822 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
824 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
825 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
826 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
827 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
829 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
831 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
834 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
835 order to allow the empty list as arg.
836 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
837 context with traps enabled.
839 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
841 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
843 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
845 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
847 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
848 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
849 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
850 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
851 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
853 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
855 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
856 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
858 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
860 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
862 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
864 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
866 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
868 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
870 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
872 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
873 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
875 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
877 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
878 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
879 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
880 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
883 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
884 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
885 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
887 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
889 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
890 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
891 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
892 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
893 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
894 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
895 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
897 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
899 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
901 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
903 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
904 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
905 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
906 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
907 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
908 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
910 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
912 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
913 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
914 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
917 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
919 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
921 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
923 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
925 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
927 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
930 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
932 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
934 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
936 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
937 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
939 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
941 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
942 similar in use to `use-modules'.
943 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
944 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
946 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
947 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
949 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
951 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
953 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
955 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
956 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
959 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
960 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
962 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
963 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
964 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
966 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
968 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
970 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
972 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
973 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
975 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
977 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
979 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
981 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
982 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
984 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
986 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
989 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
991 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
992 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
994 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
996 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
998 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1000 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1003 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1005 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1006 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1007 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1008 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1009 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1012 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1014 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1015 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1016 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1018 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1020 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1022 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1023 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1025 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1027 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1028 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1029 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1030 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1031 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1032 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1033 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1036 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1038 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1041 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1043 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1044 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1045 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1046 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1047 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1048 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1050 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1052 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1053 usefully so they will work from a script.
1055 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1057 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1058 neighborhood of the record code.
1060 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1062 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1063 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1064 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1065 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1067 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1069 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1070 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1071 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1073 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1075 Add support for readline function.
1076 * readline.scm: New module.
1077 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1078 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1079 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1081 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1082 repl-reader to use them.
1083 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1085 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1087 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1089 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1090 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1092 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1094 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1095 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1096 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1098 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1100 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1101 #f, abort terminates the process.
1102 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1103 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1105 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1107 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1108 print-state, throw it away.
1110 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1112 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1115 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1117 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1118 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1119 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1120 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1122 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1123 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1125 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1127 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1129 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1131 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1132 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1133 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1134 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1135 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1137 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1138 distribution and installation.
1139 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1141 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1143 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1145 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1147 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1148 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1149 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1151 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1152 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1155 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1157 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1159 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1161 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1163 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1164 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1165 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1166 field a separate argument.
1168 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1170 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1172 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1174 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1178 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1180 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1182 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1184 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1185 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1186 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1187 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1188 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1189 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1191 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1192 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1193 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1194 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1195 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1198 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1200 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1205 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1207 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1209 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1211 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1212 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1213 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1214 expansion inside the slib module.
1216 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1218 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1219 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1224 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1226 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1227 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1228 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1230 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1231 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1234 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1236 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1237 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1239 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1241 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1242 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1243 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1244 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1245 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1246 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1247 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1248 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1250 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1252 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1254 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1256 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1257 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1258 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1259 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1260 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1262 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1263 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1264 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1266 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1267 the syncase interface.
1269 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1271 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1272 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1273 workings of the current module system).
1275 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1277 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1278 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1281 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1283 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1284 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1285 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1287 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1289 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1290 according to the following priorities:
1291 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1292 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1294 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1295 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1296 (new-interpreter): New function.
1298 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1299 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1300 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1302 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1304 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1306 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1308 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1310 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1312 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1314 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1316 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1318 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1319 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1322 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1324 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1325 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1326 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1327 symbols matching regexp.
1329 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1330 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1333 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1334 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1335 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1336 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1337 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1339 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1340 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1342 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1344 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1345 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1347 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1348 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1350 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1352 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1354 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1355 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1356 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1358 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1360 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1362 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1364 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1366 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1367 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

1374 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1376 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1377 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1378 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1380 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1381 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1384 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1385 order to narrow it correctly.
1386 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1388 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1390 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1391 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1393 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1395 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1397 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1399 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1400 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1402 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1404 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1405 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1406 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1408 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1410 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1413 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1415 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1416 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1417 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1418 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1419 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1421 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1423 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1424 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1427 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1429 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1431 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1432 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1433 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1435 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1438 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1440 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1441 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1442 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1443 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1444 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1445 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1447 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1448 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1449 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1450 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1452 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1454 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1455 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1456 sending in bug reports.
1457 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1458 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1459 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1460 display a warning if the two are different.
1461 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1462 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1463 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1465 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1467 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1469 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1471 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1472 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1474 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1475 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1476 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1477 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1478 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1479 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1482 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1483 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1486 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1487 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1489 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1492 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1495 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1497 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1500 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1502 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1503 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1505 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1507 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1508 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1509 to support printing of structures.
1510 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1511 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1512 commented out printing code.
1513 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1514 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1516 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1520 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1522 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1523 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1524 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1525 during call to scm-style-repl.
1527 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1529 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1530 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1531 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1532 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1533 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1535 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1537 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1538 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1541 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1543 * regex.scm: New file.
1544 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1545 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1547 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1549 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1550 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1551 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1552 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1554 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1556 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1559 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1561 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1562 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1563 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1565 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1567 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1568 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1571 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1573 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1575 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1577 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1579 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1581 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1582 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1585 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1587 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1588 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1589 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1591 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1593 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1594 the Scheme code like code yet.
1595 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1597 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1599 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1600 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1601 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1603 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1605 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1607 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1610 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1612 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1614 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1616 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1618 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1619 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1620 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1622 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1624 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1625 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1626 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1628 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1630 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1631 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1633 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1635 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1638 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1640 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1642 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1644 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1645 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1647 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1649 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1650 instead of in libguile.
1651 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1652 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1654 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1656 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1658 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1659 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1661 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1663 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1664 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1666 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1668 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1669 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1670 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1671 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1673 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1675 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1676 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1678 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1680 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1682 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1684 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1685 keywords and symbols.
1687 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1689 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1691 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1692 Don't define read-sharp.
1694 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1695 (read-sharp): removed.
1696 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1697 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1699 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1701 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1703 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1704 primitive procedure.)
1706 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1707 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1709 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1711 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1713 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1715 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1717 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1719 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1721 * (exit): alias for quit.
1723 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1725 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1726 return the quit args.
1727 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1728 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1729 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1731 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1733 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1735 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1737 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1738 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1740 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1741 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1743 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1744 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1747 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1749 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1751 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1752 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1753 Change hooks to use these functions.
1755 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1756 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1757 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1759 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1760 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1761 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1762 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1763 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1764 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1765 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1768 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1769 and exit-frame exceptions.
1771 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1772 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1773 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1774 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1775 result; otherwise display "> ".
1776 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1778 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1779 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1780 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1781 repository version runnable.
1783 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1785 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1786 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1787 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1788 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1789 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1790 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1792 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1794 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1795 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1797 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1799 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1800 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1802 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1804 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1806 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1808 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1811 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1813 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1814 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1816 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1818 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1821 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1823 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1824 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1826 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1828 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1830 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1831 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1832 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1833 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1834 dynamic linking of modules.
1835 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1836 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1838 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1840 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1842 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1844 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1847 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1848 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1851 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1853 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1854 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1855 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1857 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1859 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1860 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1863 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1865 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1866 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1867 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1869 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1871 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1872 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1873 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1874 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1876 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1877 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1878 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1879 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1880 (such as the-scm-module).
1882 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1884 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1887 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1889 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1890 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1891 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1893 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1895 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1896 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1897 function, use it accordingly.
1899 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1901 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1902 function of no arguments.
1903 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1904 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1905 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1906 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1907 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1908 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1909 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1910 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1912 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1914 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1915 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1917 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1919 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1920 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1921 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1922 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1923 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1925 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1928 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1929 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1930 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1931 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1933 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1935 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1937 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1938 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1939 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1941 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1944 Added `before-read-hook'.
1946 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1948 (provide): New function.
1950 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1953 (backtrace): New function.
1955 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1956 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1957 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1958 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1959 is found in operator position in a frame.
1961 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1964 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1965 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1966 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1968 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1970 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1972 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1974 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1976 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1978 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1980 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1981 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1983 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1984 so they'll get distributed.
1986 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1987 should see as little clutter as possible.
1988 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1989 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1990 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1992 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1993 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1994 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1995 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1996 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1997 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1998 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1999 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2000 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2001 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2003 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2004 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2006 * test.scm: New file.
2008 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2009 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2010 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2012 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2013 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2015 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2017 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2018 call %load-announce.
2020 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2022 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2023 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2024 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2026 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2028 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2030 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2031 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2032 SCSH (which this isn't).
2034 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2036 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2038 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2040 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2041 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2042 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2044 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2045 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2046 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2047 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2050 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2052 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2054 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2056 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2057 error-catching-loop.
2058 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2059 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2060 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2062 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2063 error-catching-loop.
2065 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2067 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2068 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2069 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2070 should be '(), not #f.
2072 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2073 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2075 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2077 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2078 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2081 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2083 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2084 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2085 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2086 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2088 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2090 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2092 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2094 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2096 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2097 throw-handler-default.
2098 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2100 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2102 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2103 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2105 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2107 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2108 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2109 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2110 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2112 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2114 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2115 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2116 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2117 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2119 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2120 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2121 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2122 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2125 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2127 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2129 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2132 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2135 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2137 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2139 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2140 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2142 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2144 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2146 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2148 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2150 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2151 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2152 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2153 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2154 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2156 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2157 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2158 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2159 they seem redundant.
2160 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2161 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2162 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2163 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2164 directly files starting with "/").
2165 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2166 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2168 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2170 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2172 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2173 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2174 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2175 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2176 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2177 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2178 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2179 robust to just do it in the C code.
2181 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2183 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2184 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2185 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2186 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2187 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2189 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2191 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2192 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2193 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2195 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2197 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2198 system-error, not every kind of error.
2199 (scm-error): new procedure.
2201 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2203 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2205 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2207 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2208 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2209 of args are supplied.
2210 (%%system-errors): removed.
2211 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2212 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2213 %%handle-system-error.
2214 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2215 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2216 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2217 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2219 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2221 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2222 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2223 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2224 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2226 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2228 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2229 the empty list if they are #f.
2230 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2232 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2234 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2236 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2237 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2238 aborting, just the key and subr.
2239 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2240 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2241 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2243 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2245 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2246 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2247 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2248 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2249 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2251 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2253 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2254 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2255 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2256 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2258 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2260 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2261 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2262 initialize %load-path.
2264 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2265 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2267 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2269 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2270 Add the directory named after the version number.
2271 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2272 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2273 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2274 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2275 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2276 (install): Create the above directories.
2277 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2278 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2280 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2282 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2283 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2284 in the Makefile directly.
2285 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2287 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2289 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2290 here, where people expect to find them.
2292 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2294 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2295 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2297 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2299 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2301 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2302 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2304 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2306 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2307 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2309 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2310 weak-key-hash-table.
2312 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2314 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2315 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2316 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2317 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2318 (%open-file): removed.
2319 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2320 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2322 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2324 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2325 (manifest): Deleted.
2326 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2327 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2329 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2331 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2332 now that they throw errors directly.
2333 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2334 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2336 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2338 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
