ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
   4
   5         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
   6         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
   7
   8 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   9
  10         * boot-9.scm (environment->module): New procedure.
  11
  12 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  13
  14         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
  15
  16 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  17
  18         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
  19         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
  20
  21 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  22
  23         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
  24         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
  25         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
  26         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
  27         among BINDINGS is referenced.
  28         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
  29         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
  30
  31 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
  34         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
  35
  36 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
  39         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
  40         static libraries.
  41
  42 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  43
  44         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
  45
  46 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
  49
  50 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
  53         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
  54         adapt to the new hooks.
  55
  56 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
  59         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
  60         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
  61         code.
  62         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
  63         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
  64
  65         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
  66         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
  67         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
  68         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
  69         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
  70         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
  71         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
  72         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
  73         first to register linked modules.
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
  76         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
  77         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
  78
  79         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
  80         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
  81         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
  82         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
  83
  84         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
  85         to use from C:
  86         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
  87         libguile/feature.c.
  88
  89         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
  90         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
  91         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
  92
  93 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  94
  95         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
  96         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
  97         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
  98
  99 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 100
 101         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 102         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 103         result of the last form.
 104
 105 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 106
 107         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
 108         syncase.scm.
 109
 110         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
 111
 112         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
 113         readline-set!: New options interface.
 114
 115         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
 116
 117 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 118
 119         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
 120         at the end of boot-9.scm.
 121
 122 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 123
 124         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
 125         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 126
 127 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
 130         interactive session.
 131         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
 132
 133         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
 134         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
 135
 136 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 137
 138         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
 139
 140 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 141
 142         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
 143         read line was empty.
 144
 145 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
 148         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
 149
 150         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
 151
 152         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
 153         problem.  Duh.
 154         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
 155         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
 156         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
 159         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
 160         into...
 161         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
 162         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
 163         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
 164
 165         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
 166         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
 167         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
 168         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
 169         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
 170         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
 171         psyntax.ss.
 172         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 173
 174         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 175         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 176
 177 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
 180         and short vectors #h(...).
 181
 182 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 183
 184         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
 185         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
 186         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
 187
 188 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 189
 190         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
 191         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
 192         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
 193
 194 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 195
 196         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
 197         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
 198
 199         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
 200         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
 201         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
 202         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
 203
 204 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 205
 206         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
 207         trace flag.
 208
 209         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
 210         order to allow the empty list as arg.
 211         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
 212         context with traps enabled.
 213
 214 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 215
 216         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
 217         module.
 218         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
 219
 220 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 221
 222         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
 223         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
 224         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
 225         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
 226         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
 227
 228 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 229
 230         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
 231         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
 232
 233 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 234
 235         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 236
 237 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 238
 239         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 240
 241 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 242
 243         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 244
 245 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 246
 247         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 248         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 249
 250 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 251
 252         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 253         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 254         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 255         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 256         Archibald.)
 257
 258         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 259         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 260         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 261
 262 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 263
 264         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 265         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 266         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 267         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 268         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 269         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 270         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 271
 272 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 273
 274         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 275
 276 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 279         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 280         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 281         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 282         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 283         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 284
 285 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 286
 287         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 288         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 289         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 290         Steven G. Johnson.)
 291
 292 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 293
 294         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 295
 296 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 297
 298         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 299
 300 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 301
 302         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 303         be completed.
 304
 305 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 306
 307         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 308
 309 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 310
 311         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 312         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 313
 314 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 315
 316         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 317         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 318         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 319         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 320         transformer.
 321         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 322         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 323
 324 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 325
 326         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 327
 328 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 329
 330         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 331         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 332         completion.
 333
 334         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 335         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 336
 337         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 338         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 339         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 340
 341         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 342
 343 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 344
 345         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 346
 347         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 348         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 349
 350 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 351
 352         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 353
 354 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 355
 356         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 357         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 358
 359         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 360
 361         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 362         obsolete.
 363
 364 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 365
 366         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 367         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 368
 369 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 372
 373 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 374
 375         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 376         Stachowiak.)
 377
 378 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 379
 380         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 381         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 382         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 383         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 384         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 385         threads.
 386
 387 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 388
 389         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 390         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 391         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 392
 393 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 394
 395         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 396
 397         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 398         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 399
 400 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 401
 402         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 403         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 404         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 405         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 406         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 407         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 408         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 409         to go here.
 410
 411 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 412
 413         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 414         is now a fluid.
 415
 416 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 417
 418         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 419         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 420         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 421         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 422         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 423         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 424
 425 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 426
 427         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 428         usefully so they will work from a script.
 429
 430 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 431
 432         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 433         neighborhood of the record code.
 434
 435 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 436
 437         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 438         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 439         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 440         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 441
 442 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 443
 444         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 445         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 446         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 447
 448 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 449
 450         Add support for readline function.
 451         * readline.scm: New module.
 452         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 453         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 454         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 455         anything.
 456         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 457         repl-reader to use them.
 458         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 459
 460         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 461
 462 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 463
 464         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 465         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 466
 467 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 468
 469         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 470         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 471         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 472
 473 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 474
 475         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 476         #f, abort terminates the process.
 477         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 478         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 479
 480 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 481
 482         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 483         print-state, throw it away.
 484
 485 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 488         `0'.
 489
 490 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 491
 492         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 493         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 494         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 495         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 496         user field).
 497         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 498         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 499
 500 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 501
 502         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 503
 504 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 505
 506         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 507         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 508         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 509         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 510         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 511         boot-9.scm.
 512         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 513         distribution and installation.
 514         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 515
 516 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 517
 518         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 519
 520 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 521
 522         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 523         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 524         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 525
 526         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 527         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 528         symbol.
 529
 530 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 531
 532         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 533
 534         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 535
 536 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 537
 538         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 539         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 540         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 541         field a separate argument.
 542
 543         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 544
 545 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 546
 547         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 548
 549         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 550         vicinity;
 551         Provide defmacro.
 552
 553 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 554
 555         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 556
 557 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 558
 559         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 560         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 561         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 562         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 563         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 564         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 565         registered.
 566         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 567         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 568         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 569         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 570         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 571         link a .so-file.
 572
 573 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 574
 575         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 576
 577 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 578
 579         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 580         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 581
 582 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 583
 584         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 585
 586         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 587         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 588         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 589         expansion inside the slib module.
 590
 591         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 592         constructors.
 593         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 594         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 595         (let): New core form.
 596         (if): Removed from core language.
 597         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 598         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 599         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 600
 601         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 602         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 603         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 604         source.
 605         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 606         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 607         been loaded.
 608
 609 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 612         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 613         `use-syntax'.
 614         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 615
 616         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 617         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 618         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 619         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 620         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 621         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 622         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 623         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 624         module.
 625         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 626
 627 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 628
 629         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 630
 631         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 632         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 633         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 634         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 635         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 636
 637         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 638         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 639         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 640         syncase macros.
 641         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 642         the syncase interface.
 643
 644 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 645
 646         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 647         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 648         workings of the current module system).
 649
 650 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 651
 652         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 653         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 654         off!
 655
 656 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 657
 658         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 659         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 660         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 661
 662 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 663
 664         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 665         according to the following priorities:
 666         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 667         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 668         3. tcl bindings
 669         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 670         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 671         (new-interpreter): New function.
 672
 673         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 674         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 675         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 676
 677 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 684
 685 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 686
 687         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 688         procedures.
 689         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 690
 691 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 692
 693         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 694         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 695         source!
 696
 697 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 698
 699         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
 700         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
 701         (apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
 702         symbols matching regexp.
 703
 704         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 705         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 706         in stack-ref).
 707
 708         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 709         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 710         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 711         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 712         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 713         result protocol;
 714         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 715         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
 716
 717 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 718

 720         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 721
 722         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 723         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 724
 725         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 726
 727 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 728
 729         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 730         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 731         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 732
 733         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

 735         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 736         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

 747         cstime.
 748
 749 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 750
 751         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 752         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 753         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 754
 755         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 756         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 757         the top.
 758
 759         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 760         order to narrow it correctly.

 762
 763 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 764
 765         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
 766         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.

 768 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 769
 770         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 771
 772 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 773
 774         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 775         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 776
 777 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 778
 779         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 780         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 781         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 782
 783 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 784
 785         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 786         automatically.
 787
 788 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 789
 790         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 791         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 792         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 793         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 794         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 795
 796 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 797
 798         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 799         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 800         a default of /.
 801
 802         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 803
 804 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 807         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 808         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 809
 810         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 811         make-regexp.
 812
 813 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 814
 815         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 816         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 817         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 818         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 819         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 820         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 821
 822         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 823         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 824         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 825         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 826
 827 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 828
 829         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 830         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 831         sending in bug reports.
 832         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 833         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 834         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 835         display a warning if the two are different.
 836         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 837         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 838         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 839
 840 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 841
 842         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 843
 844 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 847         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 848
 849         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 850         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 851         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 852         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 853         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 854         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 855         that's okay.
 856
 857         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 858         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 859         regexp interface.
 860
 861         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 862         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 863
 864         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 865         function names.
 866
 867         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 868         fixes.
 869
 870 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 871
 872         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 873         ../configure.in.
 874
 875 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 876
 877         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 878         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 879
 880 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 881
 882         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 883         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 884         to support printing of structures.
 885         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 886         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 887         commented out printing code.
 888         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 889         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 890
 891 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 892
 893         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 894
 895 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 898         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 899         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 900         during call to scm-style-repl.
 901
 902 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 903
 904         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 905         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 906         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 907         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 908         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 909
 910 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 911
 912         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 913         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 914         (ice-9 regex).
 915
 916 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 917
 918         * regex.scm: New file.
 919         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 920         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 921
 922 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 923
 924         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

 926         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

 932         in 1997.
 933
 934 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 935
 936         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 937         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 938         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 939
 940 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 941
 942         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 943         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 944         here.
 945
 946 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 947
 948         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

 951
 952         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 953
 954 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 955
 956         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 957         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 958         fixes this too.
 959
 960 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 961
 962         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 963         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 964         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 965
 966 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 967
 968         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 969         the Scheme code like code yet.
 970         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 971
 972 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 973
 974         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 975         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 976         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 977
 978 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 979
 980         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 981         use-modules macro
 982         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 983         can't be found.
 984
 985 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 986
 987         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 988
 989 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 990
 991         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 992
 993         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 994         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 995         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 996
 997 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

1004         no plugins.
1005         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1006         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1014
1015         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

1017 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1018
1019         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1020         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

1023
1024         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here

1032         procedures.
1033         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

1043         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1044         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1045         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1046         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1047
1048 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1049
1050         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1051         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1052
1053 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1054
1055         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

1060         keywords and symbols.
1061
1062 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1073
1074 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1086         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1087
1088 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1091
1092 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1093
1094         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1095         read gets EOF.
1096         * (exit): alias for quit.
1097
1098 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1099
1100         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1101         return the quit args.
1102         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1103         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
1104         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1105
1106         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1107
1108 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1109
1110         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1111
1112         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1113         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1114
1115         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1116         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1117
1118         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1119         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1120         of handlers.
1121
1122 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1125
1126         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1127         (add-hooks!): New macro.
1128         Change hooks to use these functions.
1129
1130         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
1131         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1132         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1133         the source! :-)
1134         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1135         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1136         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1137         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1138         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1139         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1140         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1141         traced.
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1144         and exit-frame exceptions.
1145
1146         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1147         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1148         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1149         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1150         result; otherwise display "> ".
1151         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1152
1153         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1154         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1155         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1156         repository version runnable.
1157
1158 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1159
1160         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1161         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1162         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1163         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1164         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1165         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1166
1167 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1168
1169         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1170         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1171         and eval.
1172         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1173         "defined?".
1174         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1175         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1176
1177 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1178
1179         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1180
1181 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1182
1183         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1184         %read-sharp layer.
1185
1186 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1187
1188         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1189         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1190
1191 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1192
1193         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1194         backtrace.c.)
1195
1196 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1197
1198         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1199         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1200
1201 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1202
1203         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1204
1205         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1206         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1207         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1208         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1209         dynamic linking of modules.
1210         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1211         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1212
1213 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1214
1215         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1216
1217 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1220         that's what it is.
1221
1222         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1223         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1224         was false.
1225
1226 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1227
1228         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1229         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1230         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1231
1232 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1233
1234         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1235         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1236         yet.
1237
1238 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1239
1240         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1241         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1242         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1243
1244 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1245
1246         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1247         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1248         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1249         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1250
1251         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1252         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1253         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1254         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1255         (such as the-scm-module).
1256
1257 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1258
1259         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1260         %search-load-path.
1261
1262 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1263
1264         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1265         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1266         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1267
1268 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1269
1270         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1271         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1272         function, use it accordingly.
1273
1274 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1275
1276         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1277         function of no arguments.
1278         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1279         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1280         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1281         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1282         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1283         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1284         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1285         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1286
1287 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1288
1289         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1290         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1291
1292 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1295         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1296         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1297         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1298         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1299
1300         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1301         `*features*'.
1302
1303         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1304         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1305         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1306         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1307
1308         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1309
1310         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1311
1312         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1313         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1314         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1315
1316         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1317         error.
1318
1319         Added `before-read-hook'.
1320
1321         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1322
1323         (provide): New function.
1324
1325         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1326         in backtraces.
1327
1328         (backtrace): New function.
1329
1330         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1331         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1332         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1333         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1334         is found in operator position in a frame.
1335
1336         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1337         by default.
1338
1339         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1340         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1341         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1342
1343         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1344
1345         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1346
1347         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1348
1349         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1350
1351 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1352
1353         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1356         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1357
1358         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1359         so they'll get distributed.
1360
1361         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1362         should see as little clutter as possible.
1363         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1364         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1365         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1366
1367         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1368         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1369         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1370         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1371         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1372         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1373         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1374         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1375         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1376         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1377         that are not.
1378         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1379         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1380
1381         * test.scm: New file.
1382
1383         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1384         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1385         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1386
1387         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1388         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1391         work now.
1392         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1393         call %load-announce.
1394
1395 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1396
1397         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1398         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1399         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1400         components.
1401         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1402
1403 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1404
1405         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1406         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1407         SCSH (which this isn't).
1408
1409 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1412
1413 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1414
1415         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1416         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1417         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1418         these.
1419         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1420         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1421         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1422         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1423         save-stack.
1424
1425 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1426
1427         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1428
1429         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1430
1431         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1432         error-catching-loop.
1433         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1434         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1435         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1436
1437         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1438         error-catching-loop.
1439
1440 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1441
1442         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1443         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1444         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1445         should be '(), not #f.
1446
1447         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1448         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1449
1450 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1451
1452         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1453         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1454         error-signal.
1455
1456 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1457
1458         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1459         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1460         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1461         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1462
1463 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1464
1465         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1466
1467 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1468
1469         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1470
1471         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1472         throw-handler-default.
1473         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1474         reported.
1475         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1476         acro.
1477         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1478         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1479
1480 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1481
1482         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1483         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1484         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1485         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1486

1490         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1491         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1492         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1493         ...))
1494         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1495         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1496         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1497         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1498         file-is-directory?
1499
1500 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1501
1502         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1503
1504         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1505         distribution.
1506
1507         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1508         `switch-repl'.
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1511
1512 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1515         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1516
1517 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1520
1521         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1522
1523 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1524
1525         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1526         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1527         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1528         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1529         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1530
1531         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1532         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1533         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1534         they seem redundant.
1535         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1536         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1537         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1538         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1539         directly files starting with "/").
1540         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1541         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1542
1543         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1544
1545 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1546
1547         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1548         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1549         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1550         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1551         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1552         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1553         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1554         robust to just do it in the C code.
1555
1556 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1557
1558         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1559         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1560         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1561         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1562         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1563
1564 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1565
1566         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1567         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1568         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1569
1570 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1571
1572         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1573         system-error, not every kind of error.
1574         (scm-error): new procedure.
1575
1576 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1577
1578         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1579
1580 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1581
1582         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1583         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1584         of args are supplied.
1585         (%%system-errors): removed.
1586         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1587         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1588         %%handle-system-error.
1589         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1590         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1591         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1592         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1593
1594 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1595
1596         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1597         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1598         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1599         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1600
1601 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1602
1603         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1604         the empty list if they are #f.
1605         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
1606
1607 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1608
1609         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
1610
1611         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
1612         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1613         aborting, just the key and subr.
1614         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1615         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1616         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
1617
1618 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1619
1620         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1621         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1622         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1623         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1624         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
1625
1626 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1627
1628         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
1629         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
1630         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
1631         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
1632
1633 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1634
1635         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
1636         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
1637         initialize %load-path.
1638
1639         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
1640         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
1641
1642 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1643
1644         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1645         Add the directory named after the version number.
1646         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
1647         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
1648         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
1649         sitedatadir): New definitions.

1654
1655 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1656
1657         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1658         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1659         in the Makefile directly.
1660         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1661         for these.
1662         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
1663         aux_files.

1673
1674 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1675
1676         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
1677         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

1693         (%open-file): removed.
1694         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
1695         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
1696
1697 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1698
1699         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
1700         (manifest): Deleted.
1701         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
1702         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
1703
1704 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1705
1706         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
1707         now that they throw errors directly.
1708         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
1709         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
1710
1711 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1712
1713         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
1714
1715 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
1716
