* filesys.c (scm_stat): stat now takes fport arguments too as

[bpt/guile.git] / libguile / ChangeLog

Tue Mar  4 19:50:07 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * filesys.c (scm_stat): stat now takes fport arguments too as
        documented in the manual.

Mon Mar  3 07:11:33 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * debug.c (scm_single_step): Bugfix: Call continuation with
        scm_call_continuation instead of throwing to it.

Mon Mar  3 09:07:56 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ports.c (scm_char_ready_p): bug fix: in SCM_PROC char-ready's
        argument wasn't declared to be optional.

Sun Mar  2 16:34:40 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * stime.c (scm_init_stime): Add feature "current-time".

Sun Mar  2 06:37:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * throw.h: prototype for scm_exit_status.
        * throw.c (scm_handle_by_message): if a 'quit is caught, use its
        args to derive an exit status.  Allows (quit) to work from a
        script.
        (scm_exit_status): new function.
        #include "eq.h".

Sat Mar  1 00:09:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * eval.c (scm_deval): Removed some old code.
        (ENTER_APPLY): Bugfix: Reset apply-frame trap on trap as is done
        with the others.
        (ENTER_APPLY, scm_deval): Reset trace flag on apply-frame and
        exit-frame traps.

        * symbols.c (msymbolize): Bugfix: Must initialize property list to
        SCM_EOL.

        * procs.c: Introduce the existent C function scm_thunk_p at the
        Scheme level as well.

Wed Feb 26 12:53:58 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * symbols.c, symbols.h (scm_symbol_value0): New function.  Can be
        used from C to easily lookup the value of a symbol in the current
        module.

Tue Feb 25 00:14:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * unif.c (scm_init_unif): Added #include "unif.x".  (There are two
        scm_init_unif in this file.  This will also fix a previous problem
        with guile-snarf.)

        * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE

Fri Feb 21 23:07:26 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * gdb_interface.h (GDB_INTERFACE): Added some (void *) casts to
        avoid warnings.

Fri Feb 21 18:00:38 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): New variable to hold
        source files that are not always included in libguile but should
        have their dependencies calculated by automake.  This variable is
        recognized by automake, no further magic is needed.
        (libguile_la_DEPENDENCIES): Changed to @LIBLOBJS@.  Libtool wants
        to deal exclusively with *.lo files, as it seems.  The *.o files
        are built automatically when the corresponding *.lo file gets
        built.

Wed Feb 19 14:04:23 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * list.h (scm_list_cdr_ref): Delete prototype; function no longer
        exists.

Thu Feb 13 21:44:07 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x): minor change to argument error checking.

Tue Feb 11 18:19:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Remove backtrace.c, debug.c,
        inet_aton.c, srcprop.c, stacks.c, and strerror.c from this list.
        They should only be included in the library at configure.in's
        discretion.
        (libguile_la_LDADD): Include the appropriate .lo files here.
        (libguile_la_DEPENDENCIES): List the corresponding .o files here,
        so we know when to build them (and their .lo bretheren).
        * configure.in (LIBLOBJS): New substituted variable.  We let
        configure decide which .o files to include in LIBOBJS, and then
        put the corresponding list of .lo files in LIBLOBJS.  The latter
        is what we pass to libtool.
        * Makefile.in, configure: regenerated.

Mon Feb 10 00:08:08 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * symbols.c (scm_sysintern0): New function.  Contains the core of
        old scm_sysintern but doesn't take a second value argument.
        (scm_sysintern): Now uses scm_sysintern0.
        (scm_sysintern_no_module_lookup): Renamed to
        scm_sysintern0_no_module_lookup and doesn't take a second value
        argument any longer.

        * symbols.h (scm_sysintern0: Added declaration.
        
        * options.c (scm_init_opts): Use scm_sysintern0 instead of
        scm_sysintern when interning option keys.  Otherwise we risk
        destroying the values of already interned variables.

        * symbols.c (scm_sym2vcell): Bugfix: Treat definedp as
        scheme-level boolean (use SCM_NFALSEP).

        * backtrace.c (scm_init_backtrace): Make Scheme-level variable
        `the-last-stack'.
        (scm_backtrace): New function. (C version of old function from
        boot-9.scm) Motivation: Make it possible to display backtraces
        without depending on boot-9.scm.  (I'm uncertain if this
        motivation is good enough...)

        * root.h (scm_root_state): Add member the_last_stack_var.
        (scm_the_stack_var): Defined to scm_root->the_last_stack_var.

        * root.c (mark_root): Mark scm_the_last_stack_var.

        * init.c (scm_start_stack): Initialize scm_the_last_stack_var to
        SCM_BOOL_F.

Sun Feb  9 18:04:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * throw.c (mark_lazy_catch, free_lazy_catch): Removed.
        1. mark_lazy_catch didn't mark the smob.
        2. Both functions above have standard variants:
        (lazy_catch_funs): Changed mark_lazy_catch --> scm_mark0,
        free_lazy_catch --> scm_free0.

Fri Feb  7 17:30:26 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * throw.c (scm_internal_lazy_catch): New function.
        (scm_lazy_catch): Rewritten to use it.
        (scm_ithrow): Handle the new lazy catch representation.
        Use SCM_LAZY_CATCH_P, instead of assuming that any wind list entry
        that doesn't have a jmpbuf is a lazy catch clause.
        (tc16_lazy_catch, struct lazy_catch, mark_lazy_catch,
        free_lazy_catch, print_lazy_catch, lazy_catch_funs,
        make_lazy_catch, SCM_LAZY_CATCH_P): Support funs, including a new
        smob.
        (scm_init_throw): Register the new lazy-catch smob type.
        * throw.h (scm_internal_lazy_catch): decl for new function.

        * throw.c (scm_internal_catch): Doc fixes.

        * alloca.c: New file, needed to support the AC_FUNC_ALLOCA call in
        configure.in.  Including this might cause problems if applications
        that link against libguile include their own copies of alloca, but
        if they're using autoconf, they should be adding libguile to LIBS
        before calling AC_FUNC_ALLOCA anyway, in which case they'll find
        the copy in libguile, and things will be okay.  (I think.)

Thu Feb  6 03:10:32 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * strop.c (scm_string_upcase_x, scm_string_downcase_x): moved from
        unif.c.
        strop.h: move prototypes too.

Wed Feb  5 08:33:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * posix.c (scm_init_posix): don't intern EINTR since it's now done
        elsewhere.

        * ioext.c (scm_init_ioext): don't intern stat macros, S_IRUSR
        etc.  I deleted them from filesys.c long ago, but didn't
        notice they were here too (although ineffective since 
        sys/stat.h wasn't included).

Tue Feb  4 18:17:50 1997  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

        * eval.c: Don't define alloca in GCC case.  gcc will automatically
        use __builtin_alloca if appropriate.

Tue Feb  4 16:57:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * eval.c (safe_setjmp): New function: trivial wrapper for setjmp.
        (SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY): Call it, instead of setjmp, to make sure
        that values of automatic variables are preserved.  See comments
        for safe_setjmp for details.

        Change from Thomas Morgan:
        * variable.c: Include eq.h.
        (var_equal): New function.
        (variable_smob): Use var_equal as the discriminator for variables.

        * throw.c (s_throw): Remove extraneous declaration.

        * configure.in: Call AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, to see if we have alloca.
        * eval.c: Add necessary CPP cruft to support that.
        * configure, Makefile.in, scmconfig.h.in: regenerated.

        Change from Thomas Morgan:
        * procprop.c (scm_procedure_properties): Convert the Scheme
        boolean returned by scm_procedure_p into a C boolean before using
        it as a condition for SCM_ASSERT.
        (scm_procedure_property): Likewise.

        * simpos.c (SYSTNAME): Accept both 'unix' and '__unix' as
        indications of Unixness.
        * stime.c: Same.

Tue Feb  4 05:07:35 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

*       * net_db.c (scm_lnaof): change scheme name from lnaof to inet-lnaof.

Mon Feb  3 06:12:37 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): use scm_misc_error to improve one of the 
        "unknown # object" error messages.

        * strop.c (scm_i_index, scm_i_rindex): combine into one procedure
        (scm_i_index) and declare it static.  Add a 'direction' argument
        to indicate what way the search should go.
        (scm_i_index): throw out-of-range error instead of wrong-type-arg
        if indices are bad.
        (scm_string_index, scm_string_rindex): adjust usage of scm_i_index.
        strop.h: remove scm_i_index, scm_i_rindex prototypes.

Fri Jan 31 04:33:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ioext.c, ioext.h: remove obsolete _sys_ from 9 procedure names.
        
*       * posix.c (scm_fork): Scheme name changed from fork to primitive-fork,
        to avoid clash with various scsh forks.

Thu Jan 30 20:14:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@syk-0606.pdc.kth.se>

        The following two changes (ramap.c, throw.c) are motivated by the
        apparent unportability of forward declarations of static arrays of
        the form `static foo bar[];'.
        
        * ramap.c (scm_array_fill_x): Moved above scm_array_fill_int.
        (ra_rpsubrs, ra_asubrs): Moved to the top of array code.

        * throw.c (scm_throw): Moved above scm_ithrow.

        * options.h: Removed the extern declarations of scm_yes_sym and
        scm_no_sym since these are static.

Fri Jan 24 06:16:32 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ports.c: add SCM_PROC declarations for pt-size and pt-member.

        * Makefile.am: remove AWK=@AWK@.
        Add a rule for generating errnos.list.
        (CLEANFILES): put errnos.list here instead of in DISTCLEANFILES.

        * configure.in: add AC_SUBST(AWK) and AC_SUBST(ERRNO_EXTRACT).
        don't extract errnos, just set a variable (avoids the
        need to recompile error.c just because configure is run.)
        
        * unif.h: update prototypes.
        * unif.c (scm_uniform_array_read,write): change the offset and
        length arguments to start and end, for consistency.

        * __scm.h: uncomment SCM_ARG6 and SCM_ARG7, I needed SCM_ARG6.

        * ioext.h: update prototypes.
*       * ioext.c (scm_read_delimited_x): replaces scm_read_line and
        scm_read_line_x, it's a more general procedure using an
        interface from scsh.  read-line and read-line! are now defined
        in boot-9.scm.
*       Note that the new read-line trims the terminator
        by default, previously it was appended to the returned string.  An
        optional argument specifies how to process the terminator (scsh
        compatible).  For the old behaviour: (read-line port 'concat).
        scm_read_line, scm_read_line_x: deleted.  (read-line port 'split)
        returns a pair, but is converted to multiple values if the scsh
        module is loaded.

        socket.h: update prototypes.
        * socket.c (scm_recvfrom): for consistency with other procedures,
        take start and end as separate optional arguments.
*       (scm_recv, scm_recvfrom): don't allow the second argument
        to be a size, only a buffer.  Change the scheme names to
        recv! and recvfrom!.  Don't return the buffer.

        * ioext.h, posix.h: move prototypes too.
        * ioext.c, posix.c (scm_read_line, scm_read_line_x, scm_write_line:
        moved back from posix.c to ioext.c.  Also move #includes of "genio.h"
        "read.h" and "unif.h".
        * ioext.c: include "chars.h"

Mon Jan 20 19:54:49 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * dynl.c: The dynamic linking and module registration functions
        are now defined even when dynamic linking is not available for the
        host system.  Some of their functionality can be done without
        dynamic linking; when it's really needed, they throw errors.

Thu Jan 16 16:39:29 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * configure.in: Only define DYNAMIC_LINKING when one of the system
        dependent functions is detected.
        * dynl.c (scm_dynamic_func): New function to get the address of a
        function in a dynamic object.
        (scm_dynamic_call, scm_dynamic_args_call): Accept the values
        produced by scm_dynamic_func as the thing to call.

Sun Jan 12 21:09:42 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * dynl.c, dynl-dl.c, dynl-dld.c, dynl-shl.c: Restructured.
        (scm_register_module_xxx, scm_registered_modules,
        scm_clear_registered_modules): New functions.

Sat Jan 11 21:37:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * symbols.c (scm_sysintern): Renamed to
        scm_sysintern_no_module_lookup.
        (scm_sysintern): New function to take the place of the old
        scm_sysintern. It uses the current toplevel lookup closure to give
        the symbol its value.  This is a temporary hack to put packages
        like gtcltk into their own module.
        (scm_can_use_top_level_lookup_closure_var): New variable to tell
        us whether `scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var' has been initialized
        and is usable.
        * eval.c (scm_init_eval): Set it.

Sat Jan 18 00:03:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * fports.c (scm_open_file): pass errno to scm_syserror_msg.
        * filesys.h: update prototypes.  Remove macros: SCM_FD_P, SCM_FD_FLAGS,
        SCM_FD.
        * filesys.c (scm_sys_stat, scm_sys_lstat): pass errno to
        scm_syserror_msg.
*       (scm_sys_read_fd, scm_sys_write_fd, scm_sys_close, scm_sys_lseek,
        scm_sys_dup): deleted: FD capability will be added to other
        procedures.
*       Remove support for the FD object type: scm_tc16_fd, scm_fd_print,
        scm_fd_free, fd_smob, scm_intern_fd.
*       (scm_open): renamed from scm_sys_open.  Return a port instead of
        an FD object.  Make the mode argument optional.
*       (scm_sys_create): deleted, it's just a special case of open.
        (scm_init_filesys): move interning of constants O_CREAT etc.,
        here (were previously using SCM_CONST_LONG macro).
        Add missing constants: O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, O_CREAT.
        don't newsmob fd.
        (numerous _sys_ procedures): remove gratuitous _sys_ from names.
        include "fports.h" and <stdio.h>
        (scm_stat, scm_select): don't support FD objects.

        * error.h: adjust scm_syserror_msg prototype.
        * error.c (scm_syserror_msg): take an extra argument for errno.
        Using the global value didn't always work, since it could be
        reset by procedure calls in the message or args arguments.

        * fports.c (scm_setbuf0): call setbuf even if FIONREAD is not defined.
        I don't understand why the check was there (and what about the
        ultrix check?)
        
        * strop.c (scm_string_copy): allow shared substrings to be copied.

        * unif.h: corresponding change to prototypes.
        * unif.c (scm_uniform_array_read_x, scm_uniform_array_write_x):
        recognize two new optional arguments: offset and length.  Allow
        the port argument to be an integer (file descriptor, for scsh).
        Include <unistd.h> for "read" prototype.

Tue Jan 14 02:42:02 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * socket.c: don't include filesys.h.

Mon Jan 13 03:47:04 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * Makefile.am: add AWK=@AWK@ (?)

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): add errnos_cnvt.awk, errnos.default,
        errnos_get.c.
        Add a rule to generate errnos.c from errnos.
        * error.c (scm_init_error): include errnos.c.
        * errnos_cnvt.awk: new file, converts the list of errno codes to
        C expressions.
        * errnos_get.c: new file.
        * errnos.default: new file, contains errnos to try if they can't
        be extracted from errno.h.
        * configure.in: if using GCC, try and extract errno codes from
        errno.h.
        Added AC_PROG_AWK.

Sat Jan 11 14:47:00 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * configure.in: Replaced AC_PROG_RANLIB with AM_PROG_LIBTOOL.
        * Makefile.am: Made libguile into a libtool library.
        * PLUGIN/guile.config: Removed "-L ../libguile" from xtra_cflags.
        Set libtool_libs to indicate that libguile is a libtool library.
        See guile/ChangeLog for details.
        * .cvsignore: ignore "*.lo", the libtool library objects.

Wed Jan  8 06:54:54 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * net_db.c (scm_getserv): add missing SCM_ALLOW_INTS.
        use htons in getservbyport argument.

Tue Jan  7 18:11:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * ports.h (SCM_PTOBNUM): Removed extraneous semicolon.
        * smob.h: (SCM_PTOBNUM): Removed entirely; this definition is a
        duplicate.

        * objprop.c (scm_object_property): No need to take the CDR of the
        value returned by scm_object_properties, since Aug 20 change.

        * configure.in: When checking for struct linger, #include
        <sys/types.h> as well as <sys/socket.h>.  I've never known
        <sys/types.h> to cause any portability problems, and Solaris's
        <sys/socket.h> needs it.
        * configure: Rebuilt.

        I think the Sun compiler has chosen a perverse way to interpret
        ANSI declarations combined with K&R definitions.  We'll
        appease it a little bit.  But when it invades France, we fight.
        * print.c (scm_iprlist): Change 'tlr' argument to an int.
        * print.h (scm_iprlist): Here too.
        * numbers.c (scm_divbigdig): Change definition to match
        declaration in numbers.h.
        * unif.c (scm_makflo): Change definition to match declaration in
        unif.h.

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Don't return the value of
        scm_boot_guile_1.  This function doesn't return a value;
        scm_boot_guile_1 doesn't return a value (or return at all).

        * eval.c (unmemocopy): Add a semicolon to appease the Sun
        compiler.

        * simpos.c (SYSTNAME): Add case for AIX; otherwise it won't
        compile.  I have a feeling this function is a bad idea anyway ---
        one should always test for features, not systems.

        * smob.h (SCM_SMOBNUM, SCM_PTOBNUM): Remove extraneous
        semicolons.  Only pure luck kept this from being noticed earlier.

Tue Jan  7 15:04:06 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * socket.c (scm_recvfrom): Added missing semicolon.

Mon Jan  6 20:39:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * socket.c (scm_recvfrom): allow buff_or_size to be a list containing
        the buffer and start and end positions for scsh networking
        implementation.

Sun Jan  5 13:53:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * configure.in: Revert previous change to this file; the problem
        is due to transient automake weirdness.
        * configure: Rebuilt.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute PLUGIN/guile.libs.in, not
        PLUGIN/guile.libs.  configure generates the latter from the former.
        * Makefile.in: Rebuilt.
        
        * configure.in: Call AM_PROG_INSTALL; the automake manual says we
        need this if we install scripts, like guile-snarf.
        * configure: Rebuilt.

Thu Jan  2 01:56:38 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Added DYNAMIC-LINKING

Sat Dec 28 19:14:01 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * socket.c (scm_addr_vector): fix faulty scm_listify.

Sat Dec 28 13:55:58 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): Encountering EOF after skipping a SCSH
        style block comment is no longer considered an error.
        
Fri Dec 27 13:44:23 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * PLUGIN/guile.libs.in: New file.
        * PLUGIN/guile.libs: Removed from repository.
        * configure.in: Create PLUGIN/guile.libs from
        PLUGIN/guile.libs.in.  This is for including additonal libraries
        needed for dynamic linking.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute PLUGIN/guile.libs.in
        instead of PLUGIN/guile.libs.
        
        * Makefile.am: Added explicit dependency "dynl.o: dynl.x".
        
Sun Dec 22 23:06:14 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * list.c (scm_delq_x, scm_delv_x, scm_delete_x): Delete all
        occurrences of the given element from the list, not just the
        first.  This is how the Emacs Lisp functions behave, how the
        analogous Common Lisp functions behave, and (I believe) how the
        older Maclisp functions worked.  I realize that this change may
        break code, but it seemed better to break it before the Guile
        release than after.

        * gc.c (scm_protect_object, scm_unprotect_object): New functions.
        Their prototypes were already present in gc.h, but they weren't
        implemented.
        (scm_init_storage): Initialize scm_protects.
        * root.c (scm_protects): New element of scm_sys_protects.

        * net_db.h (scm_init_net_db): Fix spelling from scm_init_netdb.

Sat Dec 21 15:38:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * libguile.h: Added #include "libguile/net_db.h".

        * libguile.h: Don't #include "libguile/libpath.h", contrary to Oct
        30 change.  That file is only meant for communication between the
        configuration process and load.c.  If code linked against libguile
        wants to get at the paths mentioned in libpath.h, it can call
        functions declared in load.h.

Sat Dec 21 14:50:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * libguile.h: Removed #include "libguile/fdsocket.h"

        * net_db.c: Added #include <sys/socket.h>.

Sat Dec 21 00:33:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * filesys.c (scm_input_waiting_p): use select in preference to
        FIONREAD, since the latter doesn't detect EOF.
        Throw error if neither select nor FIONREAD available.

        * socket.c (scm_connect): take a port, not a fd object.
        (scm_fill_sockaddr): throw an error if fam is not recognised.
        (scm_bind): use scm_fill_sockaddr.
        (scm_listen): take a port, not a fd object.
        (scm_accept): take and return a port.  return #f in the car if
        address can't be got
        (scm_sock_fd_to_port): new procedure.
        (scm_socket): use scm_sock_fd_to_port.
        (scm_addr_vector): throw error if unrecognised address type.
        take an extra argument with the calling procedure name.
        (scm_getsockname): take a port.  return #f if address can't be got.
        (scm_getpeername): take a port.  return #f if address can't be got.
        (scm_recvfrom): take a port.  return #f for address component if can't
        be got.
        (scm_sendto, scm_socketpair, scm_getsockopt scm_shutdown, 
        scm_setsockopt, scm_recv, scm_send): take a port not a fd object.

Fri Dec 20 23:06:53 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * throw.c (scm_internal_catch): Make body funcs and handler funcs
        use separate data pointers, to allow them to be designed
        independently and reused.
        (scm_body_thunk, scm_handle_by_proc, scm_handle_by_message):
        Renamed from catch_body, catch_handler, and uncaught_throw; made
        generically useful.
        (struct scm_catch_body_data): Renamed from catch_body_data; moved
        to throw.h.
        (scm_catch): Use the above.
        (scm_throw): Don't bother printing a message for an uncaught
        throw; we establish a default handler in init.
        * throw.h (scm_internal_catch): Prototype updated.
        (scm_body_thunk, scm_handle_by_proc, scm_handle_by_message): New
        decls.
        (struct scm_body_thunk_data): New structure, used as data
        argument to scm_body_thunk.
        * init.c (struct main_func_closure): New structure, packaging up
        the data to pass to the user's main function.
        (scm_boot_guile): Create one.  Pass it to scm_boot_guile_1.
        (scm_boot_guile_1): Pass it through to invoke_main_func.  Use
        scm_internal_catch to establish a catch-all handler, using
        scm_handle_by_message.  This replaces the special-case code in
        scm_throw.
        (invoke_main_func): Body function for scm_internal_catch; invoke
        the user's main function, using the main_func_closure pointer to
        decide what to pass it.
        * root.c (struct cwdr_body_data): Remove handler_proc member.
        (cwdr): Use scm_handle_by_proc instead of cwdr_handler.
        (cwdr_handler): Removed.

Thu Dec 19 00:00:26 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * socket.h (SCM_P): update bind prototype.
        * socket.c (scm_init_socket): intern PF_UNSPEC, PF_UNIX, PF_INET.
        include "feature.h".
        (scm_socket): return a port, not a file descriptor object.
        include "fports.h" and <unistd.h>
        (scm_bind): take a port, not a file descriptor object.
        take an extra argument for address args.

        * net_db.c (scm_init_net_db): intern INADDR_ANY, INADDR_BROADCAST,
        INADDR_NONE, INADDR_LOOPBACK.

Tue Dec 17 22:58:26 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * init.c: include net_db.h and not fdsocket.h.
        (scm_boot_guile_1): call scm_init_net_db and not scm_init_fdsocket.

        * Makefile.am: corresponding changes.
        * socket.h: renamed from fdsocket.h, fix names.
        * net_db.h: renamed from socket.h, fix names.
        * socket.c: renamed from fdsocket.c.
        remove _sys from procedure names.
        (scm_init_socket): rename from scm_init_fdsocket.  include socket.x.
        add "socket" to features list.
        * net_db.c: renamed from socket.c.
        remove _sys from procedure names.
        (scm_init_net_db): rename from scm_init_socket.  include net_db.x.
        add "net-db" to features list.
        include "net_db.h".  don't include <sys/socket.h> or
        <sys/un.h>.

Thu Dec 19 14:03:24 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * tags.h (scm_tags): Removed comma at end of last enumerator.

Thu Dec 19 02:54:59 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        Don't use GCC extensions to allocate space for debugging frames.
        (Here he goes again!  Why do we put up with this?!)
        * debug.h (scm_debug_frame): Make the 'vect' member a pointer to
        an scm_debug_info structure, not an in-line array of them.  Add
        'info' member, to say how many vect elements we've used, for eval
        frames.
        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Use alloca to allocate space for vect.  Use
        a new variable debug_info_end to mark the end of vect, instead of
        the address of the 'info' pointer itself.
        [DEVAL] (ENTER_APPLY, SCM_CEVAL, SCM_APPLY): Remove casts of
        &debug to scm_debug_frame *; debug is a real scm_debug_frame now.
        (SCM_APPLY): Explicitly allocate space for debug.vect. 
        * debug.c (scm_m_start_stack): Same, for vframe.vect.
        * stacks.c: Adjusted for new debug frame structure.
        (RELOC_INFO, RELOC_FRAME): New macros.
        (stack_depth, read_frames): Use them, and new scm_debug_frame
        element 'info', instead of magically knowing that eval frames have
        an info pointer sitting after vect.
        (scm_make_stack, scm_stack_id, scm_last_stack_frame): Use
        RELOC_FRAME.
        (scm_init_stacks): Formatting tweaks.

Wed Dec 18 14:57:57 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        Give GCC more control flow information, so it can be sure that
        variables aren't used uninitialized.
        * error.h (scm_error, scm_syserror, scm_syserror_msg,
        scm_sysmissing, scm_num_overflow, scm_out_of_range,
        scm_wrong_num_args, scm_wrong_type_arg, scm_memory_error,
        scm_misc_error): Tell GCC that these functions never return.
        * struct.c (scm_struct_ref, scm_struct_set_x): If we can't figure
        out the field type, call abort if SCM_ASSERT returns, to placate
        the optimizer.
        * stacks.c (scm_make_stack, scm_last_stack_frame): abort if
        scm_wta ever returns.  We can't handle this case anyway, and this
        gives the optimizer more information.
        * unif.c (scm_uniform_vector_ref, scm_array_set_x): Abort if
        scm_wta ever returns.

        In some cases, the code is fine, but GCC isn't smart enough to
        figure that out; this usually happens when one variable is only
        initialized and used when a particular condition holds true, and
        we know that condition will never change within a given invocation
        of the function.  In this case, we simply initialize the variables
        to placate the compiler, hopefully to a value which will cause a
        crash if it is ever actually used.
        * print.c (scm_iprin1): Initialize mw_pos.
        * read.c (scm_lreadrecparen): Initialize tl2, ans2.
        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): Initialize dynpair.
        * unif.c (scm_uniform_vector_ref): Initialize cra.
        * struct.c (init_struct): Initialize prot.
        * mbstrings.c (scm_print_mb_symbol): Initialize mw_pos and inc.

        * strports.c (scm_eval_0str): Don't return uninitialized garbage
        if EXPR contains no expressions.

Wed Dec 18 11:43:22 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * eval.c, debug.h: Revert changes of Dec 16 and Nov 21.  They
        cause an infinite loop (???).  So much for the algebraic
        equivalency of variable-sized arrays and alloca...

Tue Dec 17 20:29:03 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * backtrace.c (scm_display_error): Bugfix: scm_procedure_p returns
        a SCM boolean, not a C boolean.

Sat Dec 14 23:21:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * gc.c (SCM_MTRIGGER_HYSTERESIS): New memory management parameter.
        (scm_must_malloc, scm_must_realloc): Added a hysteresis to the
        rules for raising scm_mtrigger. Previously, unfortunate but not
        unlikely circumstances could result in almost constant invokation
        of the gc. Now, this situations should be less likely, but they
        are not prevented completely.

Tue Dec 17 16:19:07 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * numbers.c (scm_fuck): Procedure removed; looks like old test
        code.
        * numbers.h: Prototype removed.
        
Mon Dec 16 18:20:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * debug.h (scm_debug_frame): Change `vect' member from an in-line
        array to a pointer, to match my Nov 21 change in eval.c.

Fri Dec 13 16:12:14 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * libguile.h: Added #include "libguile/backtrace.h", #include
        "libguile/stacks.h".
        
        * strings.c (scm_string scm_make_string scm_string_ref
        scm_string_set_x scm_string_equal_p scm_string_append):
        Bugfix according to scm patch from Aubrey Jaffer:
        Corrected long-standing
        (not (eqv? (integer->char 128)
                   (string-ref (make-string 1 (integer->char 128)) 0)))
        bug found by John Kozak <jk@noontide.demon.co.uk>.

        * strports.c, strports.h: Make scm_eval_0str return the value of
        the last expression evaluated (previously, it returned void).

        * strports.c, strports.h: New function: scm_read_0str.  Does what
        it sounds like.

Tue Dec 10 23:38:43 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * simpos.c (scm_getenv): return #f if string can't be found in the
        environment instead of throwing an exception, for compatibility
        with numerous other systems.

Mon Dec  9 23:23:35 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

        * Makefile.am (.c.x): Use guile-snarf.
        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Generate guile-snarf; make it
        executable.
        * guile-snarf.in: New file, resurrected from old guile-snarf.sh.

Mon Dec  9 18:36:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@duality.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * backtrace.c (scm_display_error_message): Made non-static, and
        renamed from display_error_message.
        * backtrace.h (scm_display_error_message): Added extern decl.
        * throw.c (uncaught_throw): Use it to display the error message.

Mon Dec  9 10:10:38 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

        * inet_aton.c: Use #if 0, not #ifdef 0.

Mon Dec  9 06:36:48 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ioext.c (scm_sys_ftell): use scm_long2num instead of SCM_MAKINUM
        to convert the returned value.
        (scm_sys_fseek): use scm_num2long instead of SCM_INUM to convert
        the offset argument.

Sun Dec  8 21:06:38 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@duality.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        Add new interface to catch/throw, usable from C as well as
        Scheme.
        * throw.h (scm_catch_body_t, scm_catch_handler_t): New types.
        (scm_internal_catch): New function, replaces...
        (scm_catch_apply): Deleted.
        * throw.c (scm_catch_apply): Deleted; replaced with a more general
        mechanism which is a bit more code, but can be used nicely from C
        and implement the Scheme semantics as well.
        (scm_internal_catch): This is the replacement; it's named after
        the analogous function in Emacs.
        (scm_catch): Reimplemented in terms of the above.
        (struct catch_body_data, catch_body, catch_handler): New
        functions, used by scm_catch.
        * root.c (cwdr): Reimplemented in terms of scm_internal_catch.
        (struct cwdr_body_data, cwdr_body, cwdr_handler): New functions;
        support for new cwdr.

        * Makefile.am (libpath.h): Re-incorporate Mikael's changes of Wed
        Oct 30.

Sun Dec  8 17:55:34 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * acconfig.h: Added DYNAMIC_LINKING symbol.
        * configure.in: Add option and checks for dynamic linking.
        * dynl.c, dynl-dl.c, dynl-dld.c, dynl-shl.c, dynl-vms.c,
        dynl.h: New files for dynamic linking support.
        * Makefile.am (libguile_a_SOURCES):
        Added "dynl.c".
        (modinclude_HEADERS): Added "dynl.h".
        (EXTRA_DIST): Added "dynl-dl.c", "dynl-dld.c", "dynl-shl.c" and
        "dynl-vms.c".
        * init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Call
        scm_init_dynamic_linking to initialize dynamic linking support.

Thu Dec  5 22:47:53 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Moved `live' variable to the toplevel
        (as we Schemers say). It needs to be global, so that I can tweak
        it for the proper operation of unexec.
        (scm_boot_guile_1_live): New variable, see above.

Sun Dec  1 00:00:49 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

        * guile-snarf.sh: Removed.
        * PLUGIN/guile.libs: Added dependency for -lm.
        * acinclude.m4: Renamed from aclocal.m4.
        * PLUGIN/greet: Removed.
        * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
        * configure.in: Updated for Automake.

Thu Nov 28 00:23:55 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_definedp): Use top_level_lookup_closure_var
        and not top_level_lookup_thunk_var.

Wed Nov 27 22:04:19 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@baalperazim.frob.com>

        * Makefile.in (ancillary): List ChangeLog-scm, not ChangeLog.scm.

Wed Nov 27 14:14:56 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_definedp): Incompatibly changed to be a builtin
        Scheme function, instead of syntax. Single argument is now a
        symbol.

Thu Nov 21 20:26:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * ramap.c (scm_ra_sum, scm_ra_difference, scm_ra_product,
        scm_ra_divide): Properly terminate statements passed as arguments
        to IVDEP macros.  (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)

        * eval.c (SCM_CEVAL): Use alloca, not GCC's extensions for arrays
        with non-constant sizes.  (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)

Thu Nov 21 11:17:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
        function of no arguments.
        * root.h (struct scm_root_state): Renamed
        top_level_lookup_closure_var from top_level_lookup_thunk_var.
        (scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var): Renamed from
        scm_top_level_lookup_thunk_var.
        * root.c (mark_root): Uses changed.
        * gdbint.c (gdb_eval, gdb_binding): Uses changed.
        * init.c (scm_start_stack): Uses changed.
        * eval.c (scm_eval, scm_eval_x, scm_init_eval): Rename uses.
        Change scheme-visible name to *top-level-lookup-closure* from
        *top-level-lookup-thunk*.

Tue Nov 19 22:43:31 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * gc.c (scm_igc, scm_gc_mark): Round up the size of the stack we
        pass to scm_mark_locations.  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)

Sun Nov 10 13:35:05 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * gc.c (struct scm_heap_seg_data): Doc fixes.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Empty all segments' freelists before
        sweeping.  Then, prepend each segment's free cells to its
        freelist, rather than wiping out the old value.  (Thanks to Marius
        Vollmer.)

        * gc.c (which_seg, scm_map_free_list, scm_newcell_count,
        scm_check_freelist, scm_debug_newcell): New functions and
        variables, for debugging freelist problems.
        * pairs.h (SCM_NEWCELL): New debugging version added.
        * gc.h (scm_debug_newcell): Added extern declaration, used by
        debugging version of SCM_NEWCELL.

Sat Nov  9 19:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        On some systems <libc.h> conflicts with <unistd.h>, and should not
        be #included at all.
        * aclocal.m4 (GUILE_HEADER_LIBC_WITH_UNISTD): New autoconf macro.
        * acconfig.h (LIBC_H_WITH_UNISTD_H): New CPP symbol.
        * configure.in: Call it.
        * posix.c, filesys.c: Use its results to decide whether or not to
        #include <libc.h>.
        * configure, scmconfig.h.in: Rebuilt with autoconf and
        autoheader.

Wed Nov  6 16:19:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * fports.c (scm_stdio_to_port, scm_open_file): Set the port's
        pointer to the stdio stream before calling scm_setbuf0, so the
        latter will be able to retrieve it.  I'm surprised this didn't
        segfault earlier.  (Thanks to Christopher Lee.)

Wed Nov  6 16:01:20 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * throw.c (scm_lazy_catch, scm_ithrow): Completed implementation
        of `lazy-catch'.

Sat Nov  2 21:01:48 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * stacks.c, stacks.h (scm_make_stack): Now takes arbitrary
        number of stack narrowing specifier pairs.  The first specifier in
        a pair controls inner border, the second the outer border.  A
        number means cut that number of frames, a procedure object means
        cut until that object is found in operator position in a frame.

        * root.c (cwdr): Bugfix.

        * read.c: Recording of positions disabled by default.

        * procs.c (scm_closure_p): New function.

        * posix.c (scm_tmpnam): New function.

        * load.c: Added #include "throw.h".
        (scm_sys_search_load_path): Bugfix: Don't add an extra '/' if path
        ends with '/'.
        
        * load.c, load.h (scm_read_and_eval_x): New function.

        * eval.c: Renamed debug option "deval" to "debug".
        
        (scm_eval_x): `eval!' is no longer accessible from the scheme
        level.  Motivation: We can't allow operations which introduce
        glocs into the scheme level.  Guile's type system can't handle
        these as data.  Use `eval' or `read-and-eval!' as replacement.
        
        * debug.c (scm_m_start_stack): Bugfix: Use SCM_ECONSP instead of
        SCM_CONSP since this is a macro!; Set vframe.prev to
        scm_last_debug_frame instead of 0.  In this way we can look
        "above" the virtual start stack frame if we wish.
        (scm_debug_hang): New function: Useful for debugging Guile in
        certain tricky situations.  Will probably be removed later...

        * debug.h: Changed semantics of debug option "backtrace".  This
        option now only indicates whether we want automatic backtrace at
        an error.
        
Wed Oct 30 00:31:55 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * ports.c: #include "filesys.h"
        (scm_char_ready_p): input_waiting renamed and moved to filesys.c.

        * filesys.c, filesys.h (scm_input_waiting_p): Moved from ports.c.
        Motivation: This is system specific code which is related to file
        I/O.  It also may use select.  Added code by Gary Houston to
        detect presence of character in stdio buffers.

        * libguile.h: #include "libguile/libpath.h"

        * Makefile.in (libpath.h): Renamed definition of: LIBRARY_PATH -->
        SCM_LIBRARY_DIR; Added definitions of: SCM_PKGDATA_DIR,
        SCM_SITE_DIR; Install libpath.h among the other include files.

        * load.c, load.h (scm_sys_package_data_dir): New function.

Mon Oct 28 11:43:41 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * stacks.h: Bugfix: Don't use tail-array length field as stack
        length field!  This screwed GC.

Tue Oct 22 01:01:00 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * _scm.h: Added #ifndef around definition of macros min and max.

        * __scm.h: Added hooks for threads to plugin to in ints protection
        macros: SCM_THREAD_DEFER, SCM_THREAD_ALLOW, SCM_THREAD_REDEFER,
        SCM_THREAD_ALLOW_1, SCM_THREAD_ALLOW_2.  Motivation: We don't want
        the main code in these macros duplicated and spread over multiple
        files. Renamed SCM_THREADS_SWITCHING_CODE ->
        SCM_THREAD_SWITCHING_CODE.

Tue Oct 29 14:55:40 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * snarf.h: New file.
        * guile-snarf.sh: New file.
        * Makefile.in (inner_h_files): Added snarf.h 
        (ancillary, install, uninstall, distclean): Added actions for
        guile-snarf.
        (.c.x): Use guile-snarf.
        (guile-snarf): New rule, to produce guile-snarf from guile-snarf.sh.
        (gen_c_files): Note that these depend on guile-snarf.
        * _scm.h: Removed the snarfing macros (SCM_PROC, etc). They are
        now in "snarf.h".  Added #include "snarf.h" to get them.
        * libguile.h: Added #include "snarf.h".
        (Patches applied and tweaked by Jim Blandy.)
        
Tue Oct 29 13:21:13 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * socket.c: Use K&R style declaration for 'close'; the GNU coding
        standards suggest against providing prototypes for system
        functions.  Thanks to Greg Troxel. 

Mon Oct 28 16:48:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * strports.c (scm_eval_0str): New function.
        #include "read.h", to get prototype for scm_read.
        * Makefile.in (strports.o): Update dependencies.
        * strports.h: New prototype.

        * numbers.c (scm_integer_p): Renamed from scm_int_p; change its
        scheme name from "int?" to "integer?".  It seems to do the job.
        * numbers.h: Rename prototype too.
        * scmhob.h (intp): Change definition to refer to scm_integer_p.  I
        hope this is right.

        * numbers.c (scm_less_p, scm_gr_p, scm_leq_p, scm_geq_p,
        scm_num_eq_p): Rename these according to R4RS conventions: call
        them <, <=, =, >, and >=, not <?, <=?, =?, >?, and >=?.  En route
        to making libguile R4RS compliant without ice-9...

        * load.c (scm_sys_search_load_path): Search for files under all
        extensions listed in the %load-extensions variable.  If FILENAME
        is absolute, return it unchanged, without searching the load path.
        (scm_loc_load_extensions): New variable, pointing to
        %load-extensions' value cell.
        (scm_init_load): Initialize it, and the value it points to.
        (scm_primitive_load_path): Improve error reporting.

        * load.c (scm_loc_load_hook): New variable, pointing to value cell
        of new Scheme variable %load-hook.
        (scm_primitive_load): Apply %load-hook to filename.

Mon Oct 28 06:28:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * configure.in: add tests for figuring out whether buffered data
        is available in a FILE structure, which is needed by char-ready.
        
        * acconfig.h: define FILE_CNT_FIELD, FILE_CNT_GPTR and 
        FILE_CNT_READPTR.

        * simpos.c (scm_getenv): renamed from scm_sys_getenv.  Throw
        exceptions using misc_error instead of syserror.  It seems a bit
        odd to throw an exception if a string can't be found in the
        environment, but it's consistent with open-file, stat etc.
        (simpos.h): remove sys_ from getenv.

        * posix.c (scm_putenv): renamed from scm_sys_putenv.  If an error
        occurs, throw an error instead of returning errno.  Return value
        is now unspecified.
        (numerous in posix.c and posix.h): removed superfluous sys_ from names.

Sun Oct 27 01:22:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * filesys.c (scm_stat2scm): derive file type and permissions from
        the stat mode and append them to the returned vector.
        There isn't much overhead in doing this and it avoids the need to
        work with S_IRUSR et al. in Scheme.
        Define symbols scm_sym_regular etc.
        (scm_init_filesys): don't intern S_IRUSR etc.
        
        * load.c: change s_try_load and s_try_load_path to s_primitive_load
        and s_primitive_load_path.

        * eval.c, load.c, error.c (scm_wta): use scm_misc_error.

        * error.h: don't declare error symbols.  prototype for scm_misc_error.

        * stackchk.c (scm_stack_overflow_key): defined here instead of in
        error.c.

        * error.c: use SCM_SYMBOL to set up error keys.
        scm_misc_error: new procedure.

Fri Oct 25 01:56:30 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): Recognize SCSH-style block comments; text
        between `#!' and `!#' is ignored.
        (skip_scsh_block_comment): New function.

        * feature.c (scm_set_program_arguments): New argument, FIRST.
        * feature.h: Update prototype.
        * init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Pass new argument to
        scm_set_program_arguments.

Tue Oct 22 20:54:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * init.c (scm_start_stack): Don't initialize scm_progargs here.
        (scm_boot_guile): Call scm_set_program_arguments here, later than
        the old initialization.

        * init.c: (scm_boot_guile, scm_boot_guile_1):  New, simplified
        initialization procedure.
        - Delete in, out, err arguments; there are other perfectly good
        ways to override these when desired.
        - Delete result argument; this function shouldn't ever return.
        - Rename init_func argument to main_func, for less confusion.
        - Delete boot_cmd argument; main_func is more general.
        -Add 'closure' argument, to help people pass data to main_func
        without resorting to global variables.
        - Abort if reentered; don't bother returning an error code.
        - Call scm_init_standard_ports to set up the default/current
        standard ports; no need to pass them to scm_start_stack.
        - Remove code to evaluate the boot_cmd, and start the repl; let
        the user do something like that in main_func if they want.
        - Remove code to package up a return value; main_func can do any
        of that as needed.
        - Call exit (0), instead of returning.
        (scm_start_stack): Don't initialize the I/O ports here; that's
        weird.  Delete in, out, err arguments.  Move guts to
        scm_init_standard_ports, scm_stdio_to_port.
        (scm_init_standard_ports): New function, to set up current and
        default standard ports.
        (scm_start_stack, scm_restart_stack): Make these static.
        * init.h (scm_boot_guile): Adjust declaration.
        (scm_start_stack, scm_restart_stack): Remove externally
        visible declarations for these.
        (enum scm_boot_status): Removed; now scm_boot_guile never returns.
        
        * fports.c (scm_stdio_to_port): New function.  Its guts used to be
        written out several times in scm_start_stack.
        * fports.h: New declaration for the above.
        
        * feature.c (scm_set_program_arguments): New function.
        * feature.h: New declaration for the above.

        * ports.c: Formatting tweak.

Sun Oct 20 03:29:32 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * pairs.h, eval.c, eval.h, feature.c, gc.c, list.c, load.c,
        ramap.c, symbols.c: Added new selectors SCM_CARLOC and SCM_CDRLOC
        for obtaining the address of a car or cdr field.  Motivation:
        &SCM_CXR make assumptions about the internal structure of the
        SCM_CXR selectors.

        * eval.h, eval.c: Added new selector SCM_GLOC_VAL_LOC.
        Motivation: see SCM_CXRLOC.

        * pairs.h, eval.c, gc.c, init.c, ioext.c, ports.c, ports.h,
        srcprop.h, tags.h, throw.c, unif.c: Added new selectors
        SCM_SETAND_CAR, SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CAR and SCM_SETOR_CDR.
        Motivation: Safer use.  Some other macros are defined in terms of
        these operations.  If these are defined using the SCM_SETCXR
        (<e1>, SCM_CXR (<e1>) <op> <e2>) pattern a complex <e1> will lead
        to inefficiency and an <e1> with side-effects could potentially
        break.  Also, these particular operations are heavily utilized in
        the garbage collector.  In unoptimized code there will be a
        measurable speedup.

        * alist.c, arbiters.c, continuations.c, debug.c, debug.h, eval.c,
        eval.h, feature.c, filesys.c, fports.c, gc.c, gsubr.c, init.c,
        ioext.c, kw.c, list.c, load.c, mallocs.c, numbers.c, numbers.h,
        pairs.c, pairs.h, ports.c, ports.h, posix.c, procprop.c, procs.c,
        procs.h, ramap.c, read.c, root.c, srcprop.c, srcprop.h,
        strports.c, symbols.c, tags.h, throw.c, unif.c, variable.c,
        vports.c: Cleaned up use of pairs: Don't make any special
        assumptions about the internal structure of selectors and
        mutators: SCM_CXR (<e1>) = <e2> --> SCM_SETCXR (<e1>, <e2>),
        SCM_CXR (<e1>) &= <e2> --> SCM_SETAND_CXR (<e1>, <e2>) etc.
        (Among other things, this change makes it easier to build Guile
        with certain compilers which have problems with casted lvalues.)
        
Fri Oct 18 01:11:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

        * stacks.c: Improve selection of relevant stack frames when making
        a stack object.  Introduce one level of indirection in the stack
        object to make it possible to "narrow" to a certain region of the
        stack.  This facilitates making use of more clever algorithms (not
        implemented) for selecting relevant frames and gives a cleaner
        design since selection of frames can be done independently of
        extraction of frames from the real stack.
        (scm_stack_id): Also take #t as argument which means look at
        current stack.

        * stacks.h: In struct scm_stack: Turn field frames into a pointer.
        Turn n_tail into an integer directly representing current number
        of frames in stack.  Add field tail.

        * ports.c (scm_port_line_x, scm_port_column_x): New mutators.

        * debug.c (scm_make_memoized): Made it available at scheme level.
        (scm_unmemoize, scm_memoized_environment): Bugfix: Check for
        SCM_NIMP before applying heavier predicates in argument checking.
        (scm_local_eval): Also take memoized object as argument.
        
        * backtrace.c (scm_display_error): Just a safety measure: Stacks
        aren't created with zero length, but should such a strange
        creature suddenly turn up...

Wed Oct 16 11:08:41 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * hashtab.h (scm_hashx_remove_x): Renamed `delete' parameter to
        `del', for the sake of C++ compilers.  (Patch applied by JimB.)

Tue Oct 15 17:06:13 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * variable.c (scm_make_variable): Make the name hint optional, as
        documented.
        (anonymous_variable_sym): Renamed from variable_sym.  All uses
        changed.

        * load.c (scm_primitive_load, scm_primitive_load_path): Renamed
        from scm_sys_try_load and scm_sys_try_load_path.  The Scheme name
        of scm_primitive_load_path was also changed to
        "primitive-load-path", from "%try-load-path".  Callers changed.
        We'd like to respect the convention that a function named
        "try-mumble" should behave just like the function called "mumble",
        but return #f instead of signalling some error.
        * load.h: Rename prototypes.

Tue Oct 15 05:34:10 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * print.c (make_print_state, grow_print_state), print.h: Modified
        the print state representation: Don't use a tail array for
        recording of circular references.  Resizing of the print state
        structure invalidates the print state pointer.  To avoid passing
        around an indirect print state reference to all printing
        functions, we instead let the print state reference a resizable
        vector.

Mon Oct 14 19:25:00 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * alist.c (scm_sloppy_assq, scm_sloppy_assv, scm_sloppy_assoc):
        Don't crash when passed an improper list terminated by a
        non-immediate value.

Mon Oct 14 19:08:33 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        Allocate data for structures on an eight-byte boundary, as
        required by the tagging system.
        * struct.c (alloc_struct): New function.
        (scm_make_struct, scm_make_vtable_vtable): Call it.
        * struct.h (scm_struct_n_extra_words): Bump to 3.
        (scm_struct_i_ptr): New "field".
        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): When we need to free the data, use the
        information stored by alloc_struct to find the beginning of the
        block allocated to the structure, so we can free it.

Mon Oct 14 17:07:55 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Moved scm_init_struct in front of
        scm_init_stacks.

        * debug.h (SCM_VOIDFRAME, SCM_VOIDFRAMEP): New macros.
        (scm_debug_info): New member: id.

        * stacks.c: Stacks are now represented as structs; Stacks have an
        id given to them by `start-stack'.
        (scm_last_stack_frame): Added predicates `stack?' and `frame?'.

        * stacks.h: Added declarations of scm_stack_p and scm_frame_p;
        Changed stack representation.

        * debug.c (scm_procedure_name): Try procedure property `name' for
        compiled closures aswell.

        * gc.c (scm_init_storage): Initialize scm_stand_in_procs to SCM_EOL.

        * eval.c: scm_i_name moved to gsubr.c
        (scm_m_define): Record names of all kinds of procedure
        objects.  (Earlier, only closures were recorded.)

        * procprop.h: Added declaration of scm_i_name.

        * gsubr.c: Added global scm_i_name.  Added #include "procprop.h".
        (scm_make_gsubr): Record names of compiled closures.
        
Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * debug.c, debug.h: Removed obsolete code.

        * continuations.c, continuations.h, debug.c, gc.c, init.c, root.c,
        stacks.c: Renamed regs --> scm_contregs.

        * print.c (scm_free_print_state): Cleanup print state before
        returning it to pool.  It is better to do it here than in
        scm_prin1 since scm_prin1 is called often.

        * srcprop.c (scm_source_properties, scm_set_source_properties_x,
        s_set_source_property_x): Check that first argument is a pair or a
        memoized object.

        * srcprop.c, srcprop.h: Made scm_i_filename, scm_i_copy,
        scm_i_line, scm_i_column and scm_i_breakpoint global.

        * init.c: Added #include "backtrace.h" and #include "stacks.h".
        (scm_boot_guile_1): Added calls to scm_init_backtrace and
        scm_init_stacks.

        * debug.h: Added debug object smob declaration and macro
        definitions.

        * configure.in: Build with backtrace.o and stacks.o if debug
        support enabled.

        * Makefile.in: Added entries for new files: backtrace.c,
        backtrace.h, stacks.c and stacks.h.

        * symbols.c (scm_sym2ovcell): Fixed documentation.

        * _scm.h (min, max): Added.

        * async.c: Moved `min' macro to _scm.h.

        * debug.h: New debug options SCM_BACKTRACE_MAXDEPTH and
        SCM_BACKTRACE_INDENT.

        * eval.c: Added new debug options `maxdepth' and `indent'.

        * print.c (make_print_state): Bugfix: Initialize pstate->ceiling.

        * print.h: Added selector SCM_PRINT_STATE.

        * print.c: New functions: scm_make_print_state,
        scm_free_print_state.

        * print.h: Added declarations for scm_make_print_state,
        scm_free_print_state.
        
        * debug.c (scm_m_start_stack): New acro.

        * debug.h: Small cleanup.

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Moved scm_init_debug below
        scm_init_eval.

        declare functions with prototypes.  (Patch thanks to Marius
        Vollmer.)

        More prototype-related changes from Marius Vollmer:
        * gdb_interface.h: Wrapped header file in #ifdef/#endif
        * gscm.h (gscm_run_scm): Added prototype for `initfn' paramter.
        * ports.h (ptobfuns): Added prototypes. This means some casting in
        fports.c.
        * fports.c: Added casts for initializations, since the functions
        are defined to take FILE * as their stream argument, not SCM.
        * fdsocket.c, fdsocket.h: Made `init_addr_buffer' static.
        * genio.c (scm_gen_puts): Changed `unsigned char *str_data' parameter
        to `char *str_data' to conform to prototype.

Sat Oct 12 21:49:29 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * error.c, eval.c, load.c, stackchk.c: use scm_error not lgh_error.

        * __scm.h (lgh_error): removed, lgh shouldn't be in libguile.

        * stime.c, stime.h: use SCM_P method.
        
Sat Oct 12 16:16:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * eval.c (scm_nconc2last): Don't accept an empty list; apply must
        be given at least two arguments.  Insist that lst's last element
        be a list, but don't make any requirements of its predecessors.

Fri Oct 11 03:58:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * eval.c (scm_nconc2last): Revert last change; there seems to be
        other stuff going on here.

Fri Oct 11 02:43:59 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * eval.c (scm_nconc2last): Make sure that each element of lst
        (which is a list of argument lists, except for the tail) is a
        proper list, i.e., finite and terminated by '().

Thu Oct 10 21:09:13 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * unif.c (scm_ra_set_contp): Localize `inc' declaration.
        Clarifies flow.

        * struct.c (scm_make_struct, scm_make_vtable_vtable): Use the
        symbolic name for the tag, scm_tc3_cons_gloc, instead of just
        saying "1".

        * vectors.c (scm_make_vector): Fill vectors with the undefined
        value, to help make Guile Scheme code more portable to other
        Schemes.

        * symbols.c (scm_intern_obarray_soft, scm_sysintern): Doc fixes.
        * symbols.h, tags.h: Doc fixes.
        
Wed Oct  9 19:39:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * async.c (scm_take_signal): Doc fixes.

Mon Oct  7 22:30:34 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * numbers.c (scm_divbigint): When the remainder is zero, we don't
        want to subtract it from the modulus; we just want to leave it
        alone.

Mon Oct  7 00:14:17 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Bugfix: i --> base in argument to
        `scm_init_threads'.

        * throw.h (scm_catch_apply): Removed the `lazyp' argument.

        * throw.c (scm_catch_apply): Finished implementation of
        `lazy-catch'.

Sun Oct  6 05:26:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * filesys.c (scm_sys_select): move SCM_ALLOW_INTS past the sreturn
        check.
        (scm_init_filesys): set "i/o-extensions" feature.
        include feature.h.
        
Sat Oct  5 12:22:00 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in (root.o): Correct dependencies.

Sat Oct  5 18:40:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * Makefile.in: Added dependency entry for root.o.

        * continuations.c, debug.[ch], eval.c, gscm.c init.c, root.c,
        throw.c: Renamed last_debug_info_frame -> scm_last_debug_frame.

        * init.c (scm_start_stack): Set initial root continuation number
        to 0.

        * procs.c: New function: scm_thunk_p.

        * procs.h: Added declarations of scm_thunk_p.

        * root.c: Renamed `call-with-new-root' -->
        `call-with-dynamic-root'.
        (cwdr): Removed allocation of new root state.  This should be done
        separately by use of scm_make_root.
        (scm_apply_with_dynamic_root): New function: Does what it
        sounds like.  Needed when spawning threads.

        * root.h: Added member last_debug_frame to root state.
        Added #include "libguile/debug.h"

        * throw.c: Renamed scm_catch --> scm_catch_apply and added more
        arguments.  The motivation is that code in root.c needs catch
        functionality, and we want to avoid code duplication.
        New functions: scm_catch, scm_lazy_catch.  These are wrappers for
        scm_catch_apply.  scm_lazy_catch is intended to introduce catch
        handlers that run without popping the stack into the dynwind
        chain.

        * throw.h: Added prototypes for scm_catch_apply and
        scm_lazy_catch.

Thu Oct  3 11:12:33 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * root.h (scm_root, scm_set_root): Decouple thread support details
        by introducing the selector SCM_THREAD_LOCAL_DATA and the mutator
        SCM_SET_THREAD_LOCAL_DATA.

        * print.c (scm_iprlist): Bugfix: Added SCM_ECONSP tests in hare
        and tortoise scanning loop.

Thu Oct  3 00:04:53 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in: Rebuild dependencies.

        * libguile.h: #include "libguile/print.h" before "smob.h", since
        the latter uses the print_state structure.

        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): Use the correct variable when checking to
        see if a given element of scm_dynwinds is a valid catch.

        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): If scm_dynwinds has invalid list
        structure, abort; don't just silently ignore the garbage.

        * _scm.h: #include "print.h" here, since it seems to be used just
        about everywhere.
        * eval.c, gdbint.c, genio.h, numbers.h, smob.h, srcprop.c,
        strports.c, unif.h: Don't #include "print.h".

Tue Oct  1 05:15:10 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
        
        * feature.h (scm_loc_features): Removed external declaration.
        (Bug fix suggested by Petr Adamek <adamek@mit.edu>.)

Tue Oct  1 00:00:10 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * feature.c (scm_init_feature): Added threads feature (needs to be
        initialized here, since features doesn't exist when
        scm_init_threads is called).

        * libguile.h: Added #include "libguile/../threads/threads.h".
        (This is a kludge to get thread support working.  This should be
        fixed.)

        * configure.in, acconfig.h: Added flags for thread support.

        * scmsigs.c: Define `signal' to be `pthread_signal' if using
        mit-pthreads.

        * gc.c (scm_igc): Added SCM_THREAD_CRITICAL_SECTION_START and
        SCM_THREAD_CRITICAL_SECTION_END.  Moved marking of root data to
        root.c:mark_root.

        * _scm.h: Added conditional #include "threads.h"

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASYNC_TICK): Added call to macro
        SCM_THREADS_SWITCHING_CODE.

        * init.c (scm_start_stack): Call `scm_make_root' to dynamically
        allocate the basic dynamic root object.
        (scm_boot_guile): Added call to scm_init_root.

        * root.c, root.h: Added root smob.
        (cwdr, scm_call_with_new_root, scm_dynamic_root, scm_app_wdr): New
        functions: Implements dynamic roots mostly according to spec in
        SCM manual.  Main difference is that the second argument is a
        throw handler rather than an error "thunk".

        * root.h: Added declaration of scm_init_root.

        * root.c: Added #include "genio.h", #include "smob.h", #include
        "pairs.h", #include "throw.h", #include "dynwind.h", #include
        "eval.h"
        (scm_init_root): Added #include "root.x".

        * throw.c: Added #include "stackchk.h"
        (scm_catch): Changed SCM_DEFER_INTS --> SCM_REDEFER_INTS and
        SCM_ALLOW_INTS --> SCM_REALLOW_INTS.  This is so that scm_catch
        can be used in scm_call_with_new_root; Added reenabling of stack
        checking when catching a throw.

Mon Sep 30 21:48:11 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * list.c, list.h: Use SCM_P instead of CPP hair.  Doc fixes.

        * list.c (scm_member, scm_memv, scm_memq): Return #f if a matching
        element is not found, as per R4RS.

Sat Sep 28 18:13:01 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * list.c: Doc fixes throughout.

Sat Sep 28 02:07:43 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * strings.c, strings.h: (scm_makfrom0str, scm_makefrom0str_opt:
        declare the char * to be const.  Avoids a warning in rgx.c.

        * ports.h: spelling fix.

        * filesys.c (scm_sys_stat, scm_sys,lstat): include file name in
        error messages.

        * load.c (scm_sys_try_load_path): throw an error if file not found
        (like it says it in NEWS).

Fri Sep 27 18:27:01 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * symbols.c (scm_intern_obarray_soft): Initialize the new symbol's
        PROPS slot to '(), not #f; it's an empty alist.

        * throw.h, throw.c: Use SCM_P instead of #if hair.

        Remove special support for uncaught throws; see throw.c for
        rationale. 
        * throw.c (uncaught_throw): New function.
        (scm_ithrow): Call uncaught_throw if we don't find a throw
        target; don't mess with scm_bad_throw_vcell.
        (scm_bad_throw_vcell): Variable deleted.
        (scm_init_throw): Don't initialize it.

        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): Don't let outer key matches shadow inner
        #t catches.

Wed Sep 25 04:35:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * numbers.c (scm_istr2int): If the number is short (as most
        numbers are), just call scm_small_istr2int to deal with it.
        (scm_small_istr2int): New function, created by un-#ifdefing the
        non-bignum version of scm_istr2int and renaming it.

Tue Sep 24 06:48:38 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * load.c (scm_sys_try_load): don't check whether value returned
        by scm_open_file is #f, it won't be.  Always return SCM_UNSPECIFIED.
        Change the Scheme name from %try-load to primitive-load.

        * error.c (scm_error): convert a NULL message to SCM_BOOL_F.
        Can avoid passing a message, allowing it to be derived in the
        error handler (e.g., if we want to throw to the key both from
        Scheme and C).

Mon Sep 23 00:42:15 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * print.c (scm_iprin1, scm_prin1, scm_iprlist): Circular
        references now have a new appearance which is more compact and
        also gives a clue about what the target of the reference is.
        By setting parameters in the print state, more fancy printing can
        be achieved.  This is used by the (not yet commited) backtrace
        code.

Sun Sep 22 17:10:06 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * eval.c, numbers.h, unif.h, smob.h, srcprop.c: Added #include
        "print.h"
        
        * print.c: Added #include "struct.h".  Removed function
        scm_prlist.

        * print.h: Modified prototypes for scm_iprlist, scm_prin1 and
        scm_iprin1.  Removed prototype for scm_prlist.
        
        * arbiters.c (prinarb),
        async.c (print_async),
        debug.c (prindebugobj, prinmemoized),
        eval.c (prinprom, prinmacro),
        filesys.c (scm_fd_print, scm_dir_print),
        kw.c (print_kw),
        mallocs.c (prinmalloc),
        numbers.c, numbers.h (scm_floprint, scm_bigprint),
        smob.h (scm_smobfuns),
        srcprop.c (prinsrcprops),
        throw.c (prinjb),
        unif.c, unif.h (scm_raprin1, rapr1),
        variable.c (prin_var): Changed argument `int writing' to
        `scm_print_state *pstate'.

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Moved scm_init_struct upwards so
        that it will be called before scm_init_print.

        * print.c (scm_prin1): Print states are now allocated when calling
        scm_prin1 and then passed around to all printing functions as an
        argument.  A cache `print_state_pool' enables reuse of print
        states.
        (scm_make_print_state): New function.
        (scm_iprin1): Adaption to print states.
        (scm_iprlist): An initial "hare and tortoise" scan brings down
        time complexity to O (depth * N).  (Better time complexity will be
        achieved when the printing code is completely rewritten.)
        
Fri Sep 20 22:01:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * aclocal.m4 (GUILE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF): Use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
        AC_CACHE_VAL; #define UTIMBUF_NEEDS_POSIX outside AC_CACHE_VAL, so
        it gets done whether or not the cache variable has a value.

Thu Sep 19 17:06:39 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        Distinguish #f and ().
        * __scm.h: #undef SICP.
        * pairs.h (SCM_EOL): Delete this definition, equating it with
        SCM_BOOL_F.
        * tags.h (SCM_EOL): Give it a new definition here; I think I found
        the value it used to have.  Doc fixes, too.

Thu Sep 19 15:33:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * struct.c (scm_make_struct_layout, init_struct, scm_struct_ref,
        scm_struct_set_x), struct.h, gc.c (scm_gc_mark): Completed Tom
        Lord's implementation of structs, allowing for tail arrays as
        described in the manual. Also fixed some bugs. (Both the interface
        and the implementation should be improved.)

        * read.c (scm_init_read): Removed #ifdef READER_EXTENSIONS

        * print.c, print.h: Closures now print like #<procedure foo (x)>.
        People who whish to see the source can do `(print-enable 'source)'.
        Removed #ifdef DEBUG_EXTENSIONS.
        
Thu Sep 19 00:00:29 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * filesys.c (scsm_sys_stat): don't SIGSEGV if argument is an
        integer (assuming for now accepting an integer is a good thing).

        * error.c, fports.c: replace use of %S in lgh_error args with %s.
        %S will be used instead for write'ing arguments.

        * unif.c (scm_transpose_array): change arguments in the SCM_WNA
        asserts.  fix a few other asserts.
        (scm_aind, scm_enclose_array, scm_array_in_bounds_p,
        scm_uniform_vector_ref, scm_array_set_x,
        scm_dimensions_to_unform_array): change args in
        SCM_WNA SCM_ASSERTS and change scm_wta's to scm_wrong_num_args.
        strop.c (scm_substring_move_left_x, scm_substring_move_right_x,
        scm_substring_fill_x): likewise.
        gsubr.c (scm_gsubr_apply): likewise.
        eval.c (SCM_APPLY): likewise.

        * eval.c (4 places): replace scm_everr with lgh_error or
        scm_wrong_num_args.

        * error.c, error.h (scm_wrong_num_args, scm_wrong_type_arg,
        scm_memory_error): new procedures.
        scm_everr: deleted.  can use scm_wta, dropping first two args.
        scm_error: convert NULL subr to SCM_BOOL_F.

        * __scm.h: don't define SCM_STACK_OVFLOW, SCM_EXIT, SCM_ARG6, SCM_ARG7,
        SCM_ARGERR.

        * stackchk.c (scm_report_stack_overflow): use lgh_error instead
        of scm_wta.

        * error.c, error.h: new error keys: scm_arg_type_key,
        scm_args_number_key, scm_memory_alloc_key, scm_stack_overflow_key,
        scm_misc_error_key.
        scm_wta: reimplement using lgh_error instead of scm_everr.

Wed Sep 18 17:13:35 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

        * gdbint.c: scm_lread now has one more argument.

        * ports.c, ports.h: Name change: scm_\(line\|column\)_number -->
        scm_port_\1; Added mutator scm_set_port_filename_x (used when
        loading source from non-file ports, which, e. g., happens when
        using the Emacs interface).

        * fports.c (scm_open_file): Don't call scm_makfrom0str on a scheme
        object.

        * read.c: Added code for recording of positions of source code
        expressions; New functions: recsexpr, scm_lreadrecparen;
        _scm_make_srcprops --> scm_make_srcprops
        (scm_flush_ws): Removed updating of positions counters.  This work
        is already done by scm_gen_getc

        * read.h: Added prototype for scm_lreadrecparen
        
        * print.c: Added #include "alist.h"

        * eval.c: Added #include "hash.h"

        * eq.c: Added #include "ramap.h"

        * options.c: Documentation fixes.

        * srcprop.c (scm_finish_srcprop): Bugfix: update ptr.
        (scm_init_srcprop): Adjusted size of initial source-whash.  Name
        changes: tc16_srcprops --> scm_tc16_srcprops, _scm_make_srcprops
        --> scm_make_srcprops

        * srcprop.h: Name changes: tc16_srcprops --> scm_tc16_srcprops,
        _scm_make_srcprops --> scm_make_srcprops; Remove one layer of
        function calls in the definition of the whash access macros.

Tue Sep 17 11:33:16 1996  Lee Iverson  <leei@Canada.AI.SRI.COM>

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Add level of indirection to
        scm_boot_guile_1() to ensure that stack base pointer is properly
        initialized.  There was no guarantee that variable i was the
        highest/lowest variable on stack (i.e. the call frame of
        scm_boot_guile was not completely protected from gc).

Tue Sep 17 01:40:56 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ports.h (scm_port_table): put back file_name, it will be used to
        support debugging.  Undo related changes in fports.c, ioext.c,
        ports.c, gc.c.

Sun Sep 15 03:58:29 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ports.h (scm_port_table): remove file_name member for now, it seems
        undesirable.
        * fports.c (scm_open_file): don't set file_name in PTAB.
        (prinfport): don't use file_name in PTAB.
        * ioext.c (scm_sys_duplicate_port): don't set file_name in PTAB.
        * ports.c (scm_add_to_port_table): don't intialize file_name.
        (scm_port_file_name): remove for now.
        * gc.c (scm_gc_mark): don't mark PTAB file_name.

        * fports.h (scm_mkfile): prototype deleted.
        * fports.c (scm_mkfile): merged into scm_open_file to simplify.

        * debug.c, unif.c: use scm_out_of_range instead of
        wta for range errors (ASSERT still needs work).

        * error.c, error.h (scm_out_of_range): new procedure.

        * error.c, error.h (scm_out_of_range_key): new key.

        * posix.c (scm_sync): #else was missing.

        * error.c, error.h: append _key to names scm_num_overflow and
        scm_system_error.

        * __scm.h (SCM_SYSMISSING, SCM_NUM_OVERFLOW): use SCM_BOOL_F instead
        of consing an empty list.
        (SCM_SYSERROR etc.): move into error.c, make them procedures instead
        of macros, saves code and string space.
        error.c, fports.c, numbers.c, posix.c, ioext.c, filesys.c, socket.c,
        fdsocket.c, simpos.c: change names of SCM_SYSERROR etc., to
        lower case.  Rename scm_syserror_m to scm_syserror_msg.
        error.h: prototypes for new procedures.

Sat Sep 14 03:35:41 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * numbers.c: use SCM_NUM_OVERFLOW instead of scm_wta or ASSERT.

        * error.c, error.h: setup scm_num_overflow key.

        * __scm.h: SCM_NUM_OVERFLOW: macro for reporting numerical overflow.
        Remove definition of SCM_OVSCM_FLOW.

        * fports.c (scm_open_file): use SCM_SYSERROR_M.

        * __scm.h: SCM_SYSERROR_M: new macro for system errors with an
        explicit message and args.

        * error.c, error.h, __scm.h: change system_error_sym to
        scm_system_error.

        * error.c (system_error_sym): remove leading %% from the Scheme name
        "%%system-error". 

        * __scm.h (SCM_SYSMISSING): Redefine using lgh_error.

Fri Sep 13 12:58:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * __scm.h, chars.c, debug.c, eval.c, eval.h, extchrs.c, extchrs.h,
        fdsocket.c, feature.c, mbstrings.c, mbstrings.h, numbers.c,
        numbers.h, print.c, scmhob.h, simpos.h, symbols.c, symbols.h,
        tags.h, throw.c, variable.h: Name cleanup.  Lots of xxxSCM_yyy
        renamed.  (These were introduced by unsupervised name
        substitution.)

Fri Sep 13 01:19:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * print.c: Added code for detection of circular references during
        printing.  (init_ref_stack, grow_ref_stack): New functions.  Added
        a hook for printing of closures (accessible via print options).
        This leads to a split of calls to scm_iprin1 into two classes:
        elementary print operations (e. g. the code which prints a smob)
        still use scm_iprin1 while top level calls (like scm_display) use
        scm_prin1.  scm_prin1 begins by clearing the data structure used
        to record reference information.

        * print.h: Added declarations of scm_prin1 and scm_prlist.

        * strports.c (scm_strprint_obj): scm_iprin1 --> scm_prin1

        * gscm.c (gscm_portprint_obj): scm_iprin1 --> scm_prin1

        * gscm.h (gscm_print_obj): scm_iprin1 --> scm_prin1

        * error.c (err_head): scm_iprin1 --> scm_prin1

        * debug.c: Adjusted header comment.

        * tags.h: Typo.

Wed Sep 11 17:55:59 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * strerror.c: Doc fix.

Thu Sep 12 00:00:32 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * gdbint.c (gdb_read): Now possible to run during GC.
        (unmark_port, remark_port): New functions.

        * symbols.h (SCM_SETLENGTH): Use SCM_SETCAR.

        * read.c (scm_grow_tok_buf): Use scm_vector_set_length_x instead
        of allocating a new string object.  Also, increase size by
        the factor 2 instead of 1.5.

Wed Sep 11 15:10:38 1996  Petr Adamek  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * __scm.h (SCM_P): Corrected to run under traditional C.

        * _scm.h (SCM_PROC): Extraneous semicolon (outside functions)
        removed.

        * async.c: Calls to scm_sysintern corrected.

        * async.h (scm_async_clock): Redundant declaration removed.

        * continuations.c (scm_dynthrow): Redundant declaration removed.

        * debug.c (scm_single_step, scm_memoized, scm_lookup_soft):
        Definition typos corrected.

        * debug.h: Missing declarations of functions in debug.c added
        (lots).

        * eval.h (scm_eval_args, scm_deval_args, scm_m_undefine):
        Missing declarations to functions in eval.c added.

        * filesys.c: Possibly uninitialized variable rv.

        * gc.h (scm_object_addr, scm_unhash_name): Missing
        declarations of functions defined in gc.c added.

        * genio.c: Possible typos str_data -> wstr_data. ???

        * genio.c: Possibly unintended shadowing of local variable
        `int c' (gotos out of scope of inner `c'). ???

        * init.c: Uninitialized `SCM last' may be used.

        * ioext.h: (scm_sys_isatty_p): Typo.

        * list.h (scm_list_head): Missing prototype for function in
        list.c added.

        * numbers.c (scm_two_doubles): Changed from extern to static
        (is used only within numbers.c).

        * numbers.h: Repeated declarations removed.

        * ports.h (scm_close_all_ports_except): Declaration for the
        function defined in ports.c added.

        * posix.h: Missing declarations added.

        * procs.h (scm_make_subr_opt): Missing declaration added.

        * socket.h (scm_sys_gethost): Missing declaration added.

        * socket.h: Redundant declarations removed (they are in fdsocket.h).

        * srcprop.h (scm_set_source_property_x, scm_finish_srcprop):
        Missing declarations added.

        * stime.h (scm_get_internal_real_time): Repeated declarations removed.

        * struct.c: Uninitialized variable `SCM answer' may be used.

        * unif.c (l2ra): Declaration prototype.

        * unif.c (scm_array_equal_p): Dummy definition removed (it is
        defined in ramap.c).

        * unif.h (scm_raprin1, scm_istr2bve, scm_array_equal_p):
        Redundant declarations removed (they are in ramap.h).

        * variable.h (scm_make_udvariable,
        scm_make_undefined_variable): Declaration corrected to
        correspond variable.c.

        * vectors.h (scm_vector_move_left_x, scm_vector_move_right_x):
        Missing declarations added.

Wed Sep 11 14:38:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in (distclean): Don't forget to delete fd.h.

Tue Sep 10 14:01:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * fd.h.in, tags.h: Trivial cleanups. 

        * marksweep.c, marksweep.h: Deleted; marksweep.c was empty, and
        marksweep.h just declared functions from gc.c.
        * gc.h, libguile.h: Don't #include "marksweep.h".
        * Makefile.in (libobjs, inner_h_files, c_files, gen_c_files): Omit
        marksweep.o, marksweep.h, marksweep.c, and marksweep.x.  Other
        dependencies updated.

        * libguile.h: Don't #include "files.h"; it's been deleted.

        * files.c (scm_sys_delete_file): Moved to filesys.c.
        File is now empty; deleted.
        * files.h: Deleted.
        * filesys.c: scm_sys_delete_file is now here.  Remove
        #if's; they seem to rely on remnants of an old portability
        regimen.  If the problems come up again, solve them properly,
        using autoconf.  Specifically: Don't test M_SYSV, and #define
        remove to be unlink if it's #defined; don't use remove just
        because HAVE_STDC_HEADERS is #defined.
        * filesys.h: Add declarations for scm_sys_delete_file.
        * Makefile.in (libobjs, inner_h_files, c_files, gen_c_files): Omit
        files.o, files.h, files.c, and files.x.
        * init.c: Don't #include "files.h", and don't call scm_init_files.

        Use SCM_P instead of PROTO; the latter intrudes on the user's
        namespace.
        * params.h: Deleted; definition of SCM_P moved to...
        * __scm.h: ... here, where it replaces PROTO macro.
        * libguile.h, smob.h: Don't #include "params.h".
        * continuations.c, error.h, feature.h, gc.c, gc.h, init.h, load.h,
        smob.h: Fix prototypes accordingly.
        * Makefile.in: Update dependencies.
        (inner_h_files): Remove params.h.

        * gc.c: #include "gc.h"; every module should include its header,
        to let the compiler cross-check the declarations against the
        definitions.

        * eq.h, files.h, hashtab.h, load.h, mallocs.h, scmsigs.h,
        simpos.h: #include "libguile/__scm.h".

Mon Sep  9 20:00:15 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * init.c: Don't forget to #include smob.h and init.h.
        * Makefile.in: Dependencies updated.

        * smob.h: Use PROTO instead of #if __STDC__.

        * continuations.c (scm_dynthrow): Use PROTO, not SCM_P. 

        * __scm.h: Doc fixes.

        * __scm.h, libguile.h: Use "quotes" in the #includes, not
        <angles>; this allows `make depends' to work properly.

        * libguile.h: #include smob.h and pairs.h before the others; they
        define typedefs used by other headers.
        
        C files should #include only the header files they need, not
        libguile.h (which #includes all the header files); the pointless
        recompilation was wasting my time.
        * Makefile.in (all .o dependency lists): Regenerated.
        * libguile.h: Don't try to get a definition for size_t here...
        * __scm.h: Do it here.
        * _scm.h: Since this is the internal libguile header, put things
        here that all (or a majority) of the libguile files will want.
        Don't #include <libguile.h> here; that generates dependencies on
        way too much.  Instead, get "__scm.h", "error.h", "pairs.h",
        "list.h", "gc.h", "gsubr.h", "procs.h", "numbers.h", "symbols.h",

        * stime.c: Get "stime.h"."libguile/continuations.h".
        * strings.c: Get "strings.h", "chars.h".

        * struct.c: Get "struct.h", "chars.h".
        * symbols.c: Get "symbols.h", "mbstrings.h", "alist.h",
        "variable.h", "eval.h", "chars.h". 
        * tag.c: Get "tag.h", "struct.h", "chars.h".

        "dynwind.h", "eval.h", "alist.h", "smob.h", "genio.h".
        * unif.c: Get "unif.h", "feature.h", "strop.h", "sequences.h",

        * vports.c: Get "vports.h", "fports.h", "chars.h", "eval.h".
        * weaks.c: Get "weaks.h".

        * stackchk.h: #include "libguile/debug.h",

        * print.h, read.h: #include "options.h", since everyone who uses
        either of these files will need that.

        * smob.h: #include "ports.h", "genio.h", and "print.h", since
        anyone who uses this file will need them to define the smob
        printing functions.  Also, get markers.h, since people will need
        to #define the mark functions.
        
        * smob.h (scm_ptobfuns, SCM_PTOBNUM): Definitions moved...
        * ports.h: ... to here.

        * ports.h (scm_port_table_size): Explicitly give type as 'int';
        don't rely on archaic C default type rules.

        * fports.h: #include "libguile/ports.h", since you need that in
        order to parse this.

        * genio.h: #include "libguile/print.h", because you need that to
        parse this; don't bother #including "ports.h", since print.h gets
        that.
        
        * error.h: Don't #include "pairs.h"; _scm.h will do that now.
        
        * eval.h (scm_top_level_lookup_thunk_var): Remove declaration for
        this; it's now a reference to an element of *scm_root.

        * debug.h: Don't #include "options.h"; the compiler won't be able
        to find that once the headers are installed; instead, #include
        "libguile/options.h".
        * gc.h: Same, with marksweep.h.
        * mbstrings.h: Same, with symbols.h.
        * scmhob.h: Same, with _scm.h.
        * smob.h: Same, with params.h.
        
        * Makefile.in (depends): Don't nuke scmconfig.h and the generated
        C files; there's no need for this, and it forces recompilations
        unnecessarily.

Sat Sep  7 06:57:23 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * error.c (scm_error): declare scm_error_callback.

        * error.h: prototype for scm_error_callback.

        * __scm.h: define lgh_error.
        (SCM_SYSERROR): redefine using lgh_error.

Thu Sep  5 22:40:06 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * error.c (scm_error): new procedure.

        * error.h: prototype for scm_error.

        * Makefile.in (install): install scmconfig.h from the current
        directory, not $(srcdir).

Thu Sep  5 11:38:07 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * alist.h, append.h, arbiters.h, async.h, boolean.h, chars.h,
        continuations.h, debug.h, dynwind.h, error.h, eval.h, fdsocket.h,
        feature.h, filesys.h, fports.h, gc.h, gdbint.h, genio.h, gsubr.h,
        hash.h, init.h, ioext.h, kw.h, list.h, markers.h, marksweep.h,

        sequences.h, smob.h, socket.h, srcprop.h, stackchk.h, stime.h,
        strings.h, strop.h, strorder.h, strports.h, struct.h, symbols.h,
        tag.h, throw.h, unif.h, variable.h, vectors.h, version.h,
        vports.h, weaks.h: #include "libguile/__scm.h", not
        <libguile/__scm.h>.  This allows 'gcc -MM' to determine which
        dependencies are within libguile properly.

Thu Sep  5 11:38:07 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in (.c.x): Simplify; there's no need to run this rule
        when scmconfig.h doesn't exist. 

        * load.c (scm_sys_try_load): Correct spelling.

        * feature.c (scm_loc_features): Make this static.

        * Makefile.in (libpath.h): Omit trailing slash from path.  We
        shouldn't require it of users, so why put it here?

        Move code to initialize and search %load-path from ice-9 to C
        code, so we can use the load-path to find the ice-9 boot code;
        this makes it easier to run Guile without installing it.  See
        corresponding changes in guile/Makefile.in.
        * feature.c: Move stuff concerned with the load path to load.c.
        (scm_compiled_library_path): Deleted.
        Don't #include libpath.h here.
        * feature.h: Don't mention scm_compiled_library_path.
        * load.c: #include "libpath.h" here, as well as <sys/types.h>,
        <sys/stat.h>, and <unistd.h> (if present).
        (R_OK): #define if the system hasn't deigned to.
        (scm_loc_load_path): New variable.
        (scm_init_load_path, scm_sys_search_load_path,
        scm_sys_try_load_path): New functions.
        (scm_init_load): Initialize scm_loc_load_path to point to the
        value cell of the Scheme %load-path variable.
        * load.h: Add declarations for scm_sys_search_load_path,
        scm_sys_try_load_path.
        * init.c: Call scm_init_load_path.
        * Makefile.in (feature.o, load.o): Dependencies updated.

        * load.c, load.h: Rewrite using PROTO macro.
        
Thu Sep  5 01:54:33 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * gc.c (scm_cellp): New function: C predicate to determine if an
        SCM value can be regarded as a pointer to a cell on the heap.

        * gc.h: Added declaration of scm_cellp.

        * gdb_interface.h: New file: The GDB interface header from the GDB
        distribution.

        * gdbint.c: New file: GDB interface.

        * gdbint.h: New file: GDB interface.

        * libguile.h: Added #include <libguile/gdbint.h>.

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Added scm_init_gdbint.

        * Makefile.in: Added gdb_interface.h, gdbint.[hc].
        Added -I.. to INCLUDE_CFLAGS (otherwise the include files won't be
        found if object files and source are kept separate).

Wed Sep  4 14:35:02 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * feature.h, feature.c: Use PROTO macro, instead of #if __STDC__.

Wed Sep  4 01:30:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * configure.in: Don't substitute the values of TCL_SRC_DIR and
        TK_SRC_DIR; they're not relevant any more.

        * Makefile.in (CC): Don't list -Wall here; it's a GCC-specific flag.
        * configure.in: Instead, put it in CFLAGS here, iff we're using GCC.

Wed Sep  4 00:55:49 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * PLUGIN/guile.config (xtra_cflags): Include .. in the header
        search path, so we can find the <libguile/MUMBLE.h> headers.

        * Makefile.in (ancillary): List aclocal.m4, for 'make dist'.

        * Makefile.in (ALL_CFLAGS): Don't mention CFLAGS here; it's
        implicit in the .c.o rule.
        (.c.x): Don't mention ALL_CFLAGS here; its value is included in
        $(CC) already.

        Put the library path in a header file, instead of passing it on
        the command line in every compilation.
        * Makefile.in (libpath.h): New target.
        (feature.o): Depend on libpath.h.
        (clean): Delete libpath.h.
        (ALL_CFLAGS): Don't use -DLIBRARY_PATH here.  Instead ...
        * feature.c: ... #include "libpath.h" here.
        * .cvsignore: Ignore libpath.h.

        Don't install the unwashed masses of Guile header files in the
        main #include path; put most of them in a subdirectory called
        'libguile'.  This avoids naming conflicts between Guile header
        files and system header files (of which there were a few).
        * Makefile.in (pkgincludedir): Deleted.
        (innerincludedir): New variable; this and $(includedir) are enough. 
        (INCLUDE_CFLAGS): Search for headers in "-I$(srcdir)/..".
        (installed_h_files): Divide this up.  Now this variable lists
        those header files which should go into $(includedir) (i.e. appear
        directly in the #include path), and ...
        (inner_h_files): ... this new variable says which files appear in
        a subdirectory, and are referred to as <libguile/mumble.h>.
        (h_files): List them both.
        (install): Create innerincludedir, not pkgincludedir.  Put
        the installed_h_files and inner_h_files in their proper places.
        (uninstall): Corresponding changes.
        * alist.h, append.h, arbiters.h, async.h, boolean.h, chars.h,
        continuations.h, debug.h, dynwind.h, error.h, eval.h, fdsocket.h,
        feature.h, fports.h, gc.h, genio.h, gsubr.h, hash.h, init.h,
        ioext.h, kw.h, libguile.h, list.h, markers.h, marksweep.h,
        mbstrings.h, numbers.h, options.h, pairs.h, ports.h, posix.h,
        print.h, procprop.h, procs.h, ramap.h, read.h, root.h,
        sequences.h, smob.h, socket.h, srcprop.h, stackchk.h, stime.h,
        strings.h, strop.h, strorder.h, strports.h, struct.h, symbols.h,
        tag.h, throw.h, unif.h, variable.h, vectors.h, version.h,
        vports.h, weaks.h: Find __scm.h in its new location.
        * __scm.h: Find scmconfig.h and tags.h in their new locations
        (they're both "inner" files).

Tue Sep  3 20:27:35 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in (.c.x): Remove duplicate use of $(ALL_CFLAGS).

Tue Sep  3 19:53:00 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * posix.c: Doc fixes.

Mon Sep  2 15:22:40 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * socket.c: Don't include a prototype for inet_aton; just use a
        K&R style declaration, to avoid warnings but minimize the chance
        of conflicts with the system.

        On NextStep, <utime.h> doesn't define struct utime, unless we
        #define _POSIX_SOURCE before #including it.
        * aclocal.m4 (GUILE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF): New test.
        * acconfig.h: New comment text for above CPP symbol.
        * configure.in: Call it.
        * posix.c: #define _POSIX_SOURCE if it seems necessary.

        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Include sys/utime.h and utime.h
        in the list.
        * posix.c: Check HAVE_SYS_UTIME_H and HAVE_UTIME_H, instead of
        testing for __EMX__.

        * posix.c: #include <libc.h>, if it exists.

        * posix.c: Cast the return result to GETGROUPS_T, not gid_t; we
        don't even know if the latter exists.

        * posix.c (s_sys_setpgid, s_sys_setsid, s_sys_ctermid,
        s_sys_tcgetpgrp, s_sys_tcsetpgrp): Renamed from s_setpgid,
        s_setsid, s_ctermid, s_tcgetpgrp, s_tcsetpgrp, for consistency.

        * posix.c (R_OK, W_OK, X_OK, F_OK): #define these if the system's
        header files don't.
        (scm_init_posix): Use them when initializing the Scheme constants
        of the same name.

Fri Aug 30 16:01:30 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in (libdir, includedir, bindir): Use the
        autoconf-supplied values, instead of deriving them ourselves.
        (pkgincludedir, datadir, pkgdatadir): New variables.
        (install, uninstall): Put the header files in a special
        subdirectory, not in the main search path.

        * Makefile.in (ALL_CFLAGS): Provide the proper value for
        LIBRARY_PATH --- use $(pkgdatadir) instead of $(libdir). 

        * Makefile.in (IMPLPATH): Deleted; never used.
        
        * Makefile.in (TCL_SRC_DIR, TK_SRC_DIR): Deleted; we don't depend
        on the Tcl/Tk source any more.
        (INCLUDE_CFLAGS): Remove references to the above.

        * Makefile.in (version.o): Corrected dependencies.

Thu Aug 29 23:06:19 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * libguile.h: #include "version.h"

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Call scm_init_version.
        * gscm.c (gscm_run_scm): Call scm_init_version.

        * configure.in (GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION, GUILE_MINOR_VERSION,
        GUILE_VERSION): AC_DEFINE these.
        (acconfig.h): #undef the above symbols.

        * Makefile.in (libobjs): Add version.o.
        (installed_h_files): Add version.h.
        (c_files): Add version.c.
        (gen_c_files): Add version.x.
        (version.o): New rule.
        (alist.o, append.o, appinit.o, arbiters.o, async.o, boolean.o,
        chars.o, continuations.o, dynwind.o, eq.o, error.o, eval.o,
        fdsocket.o, feature.o, files.o, filesys.o, fports.o, gc.o,

        throw.o, unif.o, variable.o, vectors.o, version.o, vports.o,
        weaks.o): Add version.h to dependency lists.
        (markers.o): Remove duplicate rule.

        * version.h: New file.

        * version.c: New file.

Thu Aug 29 15:21:39 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * symbols.c (scm_strhash): scm_downcase is now a function, not an
        array; use it appropriately.  Since GCC is quite happy to
        subscript functions, it never warned us about this; we should use
        -Wpointer-arith in the future.  I guess we never tested
        case-insensitivity.

Wed Aug 28 18:52:22 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * socket.c: Doc and copyright fixes.

Sat Aug 24 05:29:19 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * debug.c: Fixed and improved gdb support.

Fri Aug 23 18:00:16 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * socket.c: Added declaration of inet_aton to avoid compiler
        warning.  (Hope this solution is correct.)

        * stime.c: Added declaration of ftime.  (This is missing in
        Solaris 2 headers.)

Fri Aug 23 02:03:32 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * configure, scmconfig.h.in: Updated, using autoconf and autoheader.

        * Makefile.in (c_files): add strerror.c.

        * strerror.c: new file from Emacs' sysdep.c.
        maybe configure should also check for sys_errlist.

        * configure.in (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): add strerror.

Fri Aug 23 03:02:46 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * debug.c (scm_init_debug): Added initialization for
        scm_evaluator_traps.

        * debug.h, debug.c: Various name changes.
        (Mostly prefixing with SCM_.)  Renamed "debug-options" -->
        "debug-options-interface".  See commentary in options.c.

        * options.h, options.c: Options now have documentation strings.
        Also added a long explanatory commentary.
        
        * eval.c, print.h, print.c, read.h, read.c: Modifications to
        run-time options.

        * gscm.c, init.c, root.c, throw.c: Bug fixes:
        last_debug_info_frame is now updated in all cases.

        * __scm.h, stackchk.h, stackchk.c: Guile now performs stack
        checking.

Thu Aug 22 17:34:17 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

        * __scm.h: SCM_STACK_LIMIT removed (now a run-time option).
        Added option STACK_CHECKING.

Tue Aug 20 18:48:40 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

        * Makefile.in: Added {debug,options,srcprop}.{h,c}
        
        * __scm.h: Removed symbols for debugging support.

        * acconfig.h: Added symbols for debugging support.

        * configure.in: Added user option for debugging support.
        --enable-debug will include the debugging code into libguile.a.

        * continuations.c (scm_make_cont): Enlarged the #if 0 around
        scm_relocate_chunk_to_heap.
        
        * debug.c: New file: low-level debugging support.  It also
        includes support for debugging with gdb.  (The extensions to gdb
        are written by Per Bothner at Cygnus.)

        * debug.h: New file: low-level debugging support.

        * eval.c: scm_m_set and SCM_IM_SET no longer supports multiple
        argument pairs.  Extensive modifications to the debugging
        evaluator.  Added "SECTION:" commentaries to clarify what happens
        when, during double compilation.  Renamed EVALIMP --> EVALIM.
        Renamed EVAL --> XEVAL.  Removed function evalcar.  Defined
        evalcar to scm_eval_car.  Added explanation of "EVAL" symbols to
        the beginning of the file.  New procedure: scm_unmemocopy.
        Added some global state variables needed by the debugging
        evaluator: scm_ceval_ptr, last_debug_info_frame, debug_mode,
        check_entry, check_apply, check_exit, debug_options and
        evaluator_traps.  New acro: undefine.
        
        * eval.h: Renamed EVAL --> XEVAL.

        * gc.c (scm_init_storage): Renamed scm_make_weak_hash_table
        --> scm_make_weak_key_hash_table.
        
        * init.c (scm_restart_stack, scm_boot_guile): Added initialization
        of SCM_DFRAME.  Added calls to scm_init_{debug,options,srcprop}.
        
        * libguile.h: Conditionally include debug.h

        * objprop.c (scm_object_properties, scm_set_object_properties_x):
        scm_object_properties shouldn't return handle.  `handle' now gets
        initialized in scm_set_object_properties_x.  scm_object_properties
        doesn't any longer create an entry in scm_object_whash.
        
        * options.c: New file: handling of run time options.
        
        * options.h: New file: handling of run time options.

        * posix.c (scm_getpgrp): Cast pointer to getpgrp.
        
        * print.c: New procedure: scm_print_options

        * print.h: Defines for print options.
        
        * read.c: New procedure: scm_read_options

        * read.h: Defines for reader options.
        
        * root.h: Added scm_source_whash among scm_sys_protects.

        * srcprop.c: New file: source properties.
        
        * srcprop.h: New file: source properties.
        
        * throw.c (jbsmob): Jump buffers are now correctly allocated.
        (Bug found by A. Green.)

        * weak.c: Renamed scm_weak_hash_table --> scm_weak_key_hash_table.
        
        * weak.h: Renamed scm_weak_hash_table --> scm_weak_key_hash_table.

Thu Aug 15 02:05:14 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * libguile.h: #include "objprop.h"; I guess this was forgotten.

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Don't call scm_init_rgx; it's a plugin,
        and should be called by the final client.

Wed Aug 14 21:41:37 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * gc.h: Use the PROTO macro when declaring functions.
        * gc.c: Use the PROTO macro when declaring static functions.
        Remove the CPP hair around function definitions.

        * gc.c (scm_init_storage): Initialize scm_asyncs.

        * libguile.h: #include "__scm.h" before testing the STDC_HEADERS
        preprocessor symbol; "__scm.h" is where it might get #defined.
        * __scm.h: Similar: #include <scmconfig.h> before testing
        HAVE_LIMITS_H.

        * __scm.h: It's HAVE_LIMITS_H, not HAVE_LIMITSH.
        
Fri Aug  9 11:09:28 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): Add init_func argument; call
        (*init_func) instead of calling scm_appinit; it's ucky to
        hard-code names for the user's procedures.
        * init.h (scm_boot_guile): Adjust declaration.

        * __scm.h (PROTO): New macro, for declaring functions with
        prototypes.

        * init.h (scm_start_stack, scm_restart_stack): Use PROTO;
        eliminate all the __STDC__ conditionals.
        (scm_boot_guile): Add declaration.
        * init.c (scm_start_stack, scm_restart_stack, scm_boot_guile):
        Remove __STDC__ conditionals around function definitions; the
        declarations in init.h will provide the same information, more
        usefully.

        * __scm.h (SCM_SYSMISSING): When we don't have ENOSYS, don't
        complain about it in the error message; the error message is
        adequate without that note, and there's nothing the user can do
        about it.

Wed Aug  7 14:14:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * Makefile.in (ancillary): Drop def.sed.

        * posix.c (scm_init_posix): Use numeric values, rather than
        CPP symbols, when defining the scheme values R_OK, W_OK, X_OK, and
        F_OK.  The symbols aren't available on some systems, and I'm
        pretty sure their values are fixed by common widespread practice.
        * ioext.c (scm_init_ioext): Code here defined them too; remove it.

        More functions unavailable on some systems.
        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add ctermid, setpgid, setsid,
        tcgetpgrp, tcsetpgrp, and waitpid to the list of functions to
        check for.
        * configure, scmconfig.h.in: Updated, using autoconf and autoheader.
        * posix.c (scm_sys_ctermid, scm_sys_setpgid, scm_sys_setsid,
        scm_sys_tcgetpgrp, scm_sys_tcsetpgrp, scm_sys_waitpid): Put the
        bodies of these functions in "#ifdef HAVE_MUMBLE" clauses, with a
        stub that signals an error as the #else.

        * Makefile.in (ancillary): Drop acconfig-1.5.h; add acconfig.h.

Wed Aug  7 06:28:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * Fixes motivated by Petr Adamek <adamek@mit.edu>:

        * unif.c: include ramap.h.

        * read.c (endif): case_insensative_p renamed case_insensitive_p.

        * ports.c: include sys/ioctl.h.

        * scmconfig.h.in: add HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H.

        * configure.in: check for sys/ioctl.h.

        * ports.c: include <malloc.h> not "malloc.h".

        * mallocs.c: include <malloc.h> not "malloc.h", likewise for unistd.h.

        * posix.c: fewer ttyname declarations.

        * fports.c: include <string.h> not "string.h".

        * init.c, ioext.c: include string.h and unistd.h.

        * gc.c: include <malloc.h> not "malloc.h", likewise for unistd.h.

        * async.c, strings.h, strports.c, struct.c, symbols.c, feature.c,
        genio.c, simpos.c, vports.c: include string.h.

        * socket.c, fdsocket.c: include string.h only if HAVE_STRING_H.

        * fdsocket.c (getsockopt, setsockopt): change type of optlen from 
        scm_sizet to int.
        (scm_addr_buffer_size): change type from scm_sizet to int.
        (accept, getsockname, getpeername, recvfrom): change type of tmp_size
        from scm_sizet to int.

        * error.c: include unistd.h.

        * __scm.h: (SCM_SYSMISSING): another version in case ENOSYS isn't
        defined.

        * Makefile.in: remove references to .hd, .cd suffix and __scm.hd.

        * __scm.hd, def.sed: deleted.

Tue Aug  6 14:49:08 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        Changes for NeXT, suggested by Robert Brown.
        * configure.in: Call AC_TYPE_MODE_T.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add libc.h, to get more prototypes on the
        NeXT.  Put header file list in alphabetical order.
        * configure, scmconfig.h.in: Regenerated.
        * filesys.c [HAVE_LIBC_H]: #include <libc.h>.

        * filesys.c [HAVE_STRING_H]: #include <string.h>, to get prototype
        for strerror.
        
        * acconfig.h: New file, providing documentation for the CPP
        symbols defined in configure.in
        * acconfig-1.5.h: Removed; superceded by the above.

Sat Aug  3 01:27:14 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * ioext.c (scm_sys_fdopen): fix the port-table assignment.

        * fports.c (scm_open_file): don't return #f, throw error.

        * ioext.c (fileno): renamed from %fileno.
        (soft-fileno): deleted.

        * ports.c (scm_port_revealed): don't need to check for -1 from
        scm_revealed_count.
        (scm_set_port_revealed_x): return unspecified, not #f.

        * ioext.c (primitive-move->fdes): return #t or #f, not 1 or 0.

        * fdsocket.c: getsockopt, setsockopt: use HAVE_STRUCT_LINGER.

        * scmconfig.h.in: add HAVE_STRUCT_LINGER.

        * configure.in: check for struct linger, set HAVE_STRUCT_LINGER.

Thu Aug  1 02:58:39 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

        * filesys.c, posix.c: #include <sys/types.h> before <sys/stat.h>.
        This is necessary on Ultrix, and doesn't hurt portability. 

        * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target, implementing a new dist system.
        (installed_h_files): Put in alphabetical order.
        Remove duplicate entries for markers.h and unif.h.
        (c_files): Remove duplicate entries for markers.c.
        (ancillary): Renamed from anillery; all uses changed.  Remove
        PLUGIN; it's a directory, and needs special treatment in dist-dir.
        Remove all the ../doc/* files; doc/Makefile.in handles that.

        * Makefile.in (libobjs): Remove duplicate entry for markers.o.

        * Makefile.in (.c.x): Compensate for Ultrix's broken Bourne shell:
        every if must have an else, or else the whole command has a
        non-zero exit code whenever the if's condition is false.

Thu Aug  1 08:22:24 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * posix.c: include string.h.

Wed Jul 31 23:43:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

        * numbers.c: rename %expt -> $expt, %atan2 -> $atan2, as it must
        have been once.

        * posix.c, ioext.c, socket.c, fdsocket.c, files.c, filesys.c, simpos.c:
        Remove leading % from scheme names.
        Do not return error values, call SCM_SYSERROR or similar.

        * __scm.h (SCM_SYSERROR, SCM_SYSMISSING): new macros.

Wed Jun 12 00:28:31 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * struct.c (scm_init_struct): new file.

Fri Jun  7 14:02:00 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * list.c (scm_list_tail): list-cdr-ref is the same as list-tail.
        (scm_list_head): added list-head for rapidly chopping argument
        lists off of longer lists (and similar).

Tue Jun  4 09:40:33 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * objprop.c (scm_object_property): assq the cdr of the whash
        handle for obj, not the handle itself.

Mon Jun  3 17:19:30 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gc.c (scm_mark_weak_vector_spines): Mark the spines (alists) of
        weak hash tables last of all marking to avoid an obscure gc bug.
        WARNING: circular lists stored in a weak hash table will hose us.

Fri May 24 09:53:39 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * vectors.c (scm_vector_move_left_x, scm_vector_move_right_x):
        new functions similar to scm_substring_move_left_x and
        scm_substring_move_right_x.

Wed May 22 20:07:01 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): prevent gc with scm_block_gc not
        scm_gc_heap_lock!

Wed May 15 16:13:29 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * ports.c (scm_unread_char): scm_gen_ungetc as a scheme procedure.

Thu May  9 09:33:17 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * strports.c (scm_strprint_obj): convenience function.  C for
        (lambda (obj) (call-with-output-string (lambda (p) (write obj p))))

        * guile-{tcl,tk}.[ch], events.[ch], keysyms.[ch], tcl-channels.[ch]
                removed to a separate library

        * init.c (scm_boot_guile): copied from guile-tcl.c.
        Initialization specific to tcl interpreters removed.

Wed May  8 15:07:37 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * ports.c (scm_ports_prehistory): size malloced here doesn't
        matter so long as it is non-0 (got rid of "* 4").

Tue May  7 11:43:37 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gscm.h: gscm_mkarray eliminated (presumably was not being used
        since its definition was bogus).

Mon May  6 13:02:56 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * mallocs.[ch]: back again (for rx at least).

Wed Apr 17 08:54:20 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * ports.c: removed functions relating to the mapping between ports
        and descriptors.   (That stuff is unix-specific and should be collected
        in a separate library).

        * ramap.c (scm_array_copy): return #<unspecified> not #<undefined>.
        (Tom Mckay@avanticorp.com)

Mon Apr 15 14:16:55 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Immediates in weak vectors were not
        handled correctly (SCM_FREEP was applied to them) -- test for
        NIMP.  Keys in weak hash tables were spuriously (though harmlessly)
        being overwritten with #f.   (brown@grettir.bibliotech.com)

Tue Apr  2 22:25:00 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gc.c (scm_unhash_name): new procedure, unhash-name, flushes glocs
        for a specific symbol or for all symbols.

Mon Apr  1 10:34:55 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gc.c (scm_gc_mark): mark weak hash tables correctly (was getting weak
        keys and weak values confused).

Thu Mar 14 22:20:20 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * list.c (scm_last_pair): map '()=>'()

Wed Mar 13 16:43:34 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * pairs.c, hashtab.c, list.c, alist.c append.c, sequences.c:
        Generalized assoc and hash-table functions.
        Factored pairs.c into multiple files.

Fri Mar  8 14:44:39 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gscm.c (gscm_run_scm): got rid of objprop.

Fri Mar  1 10:39:52 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * genio.c (scm_getc): 
        NOTE: fgetc may not be interruptable.

        * procprop.c (scm_stand_in_scm_proc): 
        NOTE: don't use a alist here.
        (scm_set_procedure_properties_x): fix type checking throughout this file.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): free heap segments with free, not must_free.

        * ports.c (scm_remove_from_port_table): adjust scm_mallocated
        after freeing part of the port table.

Thu Feb 29 16:21:17 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * strports.c (scm_mkstrport): 
        * vports.c (scm_make_soft_port): allocate a port table entry 
        (possibly triggering gc) before setting the tag of the corresponding
        ports handle.

        * pairs.c (scm_delq_x): never throw an error.

        * vectors.c (scm_make_vector): made the default vector fill argument
        into '() (much more useful than the previous value, "#unspecified")

Mon Feb 26 17:19:09 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * ports.c (scm_add_to_port_table): Added fields
        to port table entries: file_name, line_num, col.
        Update these in open_file, gen_getc and gen_ungetc.
        Added procedures to access those fields.

Sun Feb 25 00:10:36 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * procs.c (scm_make_subr_opt): new entry point for making
        anonymous subrs.

Sat Feb 24 17:11:31 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gc.h: SCM_STACK_GROWS_UP is now set by autoconf.

Fri Feb 23 10:26:29 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * numbers.c (scm_exact_p): This function no longer
        implements "integer?".

Thu Feb 22 20:56:16 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gc.c (scm_gc_end): simulate a signal at the end of each GC.
        (scm_gc_stats): return an assoc of useful data.  Replaces "room"
        and the stats reporting formerlly built into repl.

        * repl.[ch]: removed.  
        GC statistics keeping moved to gc.c.
        Other statistics keeping can be done from Scheme.
        REPLS are now written in Scheme.

Wed Feb 21 10:28:53 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * cnsvobj.c (gscm_is_gscm_obj): new file for old functions (icky
        conservatively marked objects).

        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): Unwind up to the right catch during a throw!

        * error.c (scm_init_error): init system_error_sym here, not in repl.c.

        * feature.c (scm_compiled_library_path): moved here from repl.c.
        This file is for stuff relating specifically to Scheme libraries
        like slib.

        * eval.c (scm_m_define): don't give warning about redefinition, don't
        check verbosity.  

        NOTE: this should throw a resumable exception with parameters --
        the name, the top-level env, the variable, the definition, #t/#f: redefining builtin?

        * repl.c (scm_gc_begin/end): don't print a message, don't check verbosity.

        * error.c: scm_warn eliminated.

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): extra right paren gets an error, not a warning.

        * repl.c, marksweep.c, gc.c (various): 
        lose exit_report, growth_mon.

        * gscm.c: got rid of verbosity functions.

Tue Feb 20 00:19:10 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * throw.c (scm_ithrow): guard against the bad-throw hook changing
        between the call to procedurep and use.

        * error.c (scm_everr): 
        * gc.c (fixconfig): 
        * gsubr.c (scm_make_gsubr): use exit, not scm_quit.  still wrong, 
        but less so.

        * strports.c: don't reveal the port's string to the caller
        because it changes size.

        (stputc stwrite): check/change the strings length with interrupts
        blocked.

        * objprop.c (scm_set_object_property_x &c): use the generic
        hashing functions and be threadsafe.

        * eval.c (scm_unmemocar): do this operation in a thread-safe way.
        (per suggestion jaffer@gnu.ai.mit.edu).

        * mbstrings.c (scm_multi_byte_string): guard against argument list
        changing length.

        * strings.c (scm_make_string): loop cleanup

        * unif.c (scm_vector_set_length_x): scm_vector_set_length_x no longer
        a scheme function.

        * weaks.c (scm_weak_vector): guard against argument list 
        changing length.

        * variable.c (scm_builtin_variable): check for/make a built-in
        variable automicly.

        * vectors.c (scm_vector): while filling the new array,
        guard against a list of fill elements that grows after
        the vector is allocated.

        * hashtab.c -- new file: general hash table
        functions.  hash, hashq, hashv, hashx.

        * tags.h: made wvect an option bit of vector.

Mon Feb 19 09:38:05 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * symbols.c: made the basic symbol table operations atomic.

        * root.c &c.: collected stack-specific global state.
        linum/colnum etc *should* be port-specific state.

        * struct.c (scm_init_struct): init the first struct type during
        initialization to fix a race condition.

        * continuations.c (scm_dynthrow): pass throwval in the 'regs'
        object, not in a global.
        (suggested by green@cygnus, jaffer@gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * throw.c (_scm_throw): Pass throwval on the stack, not in a global
        (suggested by green@cygnus, jaffer@gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * *.[ch]: namespace cleanup.  Changed all (nearly) exported CPP
        and C symbols to begin with SCM_ or scm_.

Sun Feb 18 15:55:38 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * gsubr.c (scm_gsubr_apply): statically allocate the
        array of arguments (bothner@cygnus.com).

Sat Feb 17 20:20:40 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * scmsigs.c: Simplified to use async rountines.

        * async.c: New support for interrupt handlers.

Thu Feb 15 11:39:09 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * symbols.c (scm_string_to_symbol et al.): number of tweaky changes to 
        set the multi_byte flag correctly in symbols.  This is wrong.
        intern_obbary_soft and msymbolize should take an extra parameter.
        Also, weird multibyte symbols don't print correctly.
        The weird symbol syntax is also a bit bogus (emacs doesn't quite
        cope).

Tue Feb 13 11:39:37 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * symbols.c (scm_string_to_obarray_symbol): obarray == #f means
        use the system symhash.   == #t means create an uninterned symbol.

Wed Feb  7 09:28:02 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>

        * strings.c (scm_make_shared_substring): build'em.
        It might better to keep a table of these and use one
