   8         `eval-case', everywhere.
   9

  11
  12         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
  13         `interaction-evironment'.
  14         (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
  15         module magic.
  16         (eval-when): New macro.

  18         restrict the use of these forms to the top level.

  20         top-level.
  21         (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the

  30
  31         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of

  41
  42         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
  43         operating systems.
  44
  45         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

  47         * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
  48         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with

  50         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
  51         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
  52         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
  53
  54 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  55
  56         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
  57         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
  58
  59         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
  60         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
  61
  62         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
  63         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
  64
  65 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  66
  67         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
  68         in C for now.
  69         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
  70         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
  71
  72 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  73
  74         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
  75         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
  76         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
  77         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
  78         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
  79         for now.
  80         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
  81         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
  82
  83 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
  86         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
  87         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
  88         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
  89         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
  90         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
  91         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
  92
  93 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  94
  95         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
  96         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
  97
  98 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  99
 100         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 101         any more.
 102
 103 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 104
 105         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 106         the-root-module.
 107
 108 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 109
 110         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
 111
 112 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 113
 114         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 115         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 116         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 117         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 118         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 119         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 120         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 121         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 122         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 123         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 124         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 125         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 126         make-shared-substring.
 127
 128 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 129
 130         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 131         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 132         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 133         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 134         scm-style-repl.
 135
 136 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 137
 138         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 139         and open-output-pipe.
 140
 141 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 142
 143         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 144         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 145         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 146         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 147         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 148         Pirotte for the bug report).
 149         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 150         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 151
 152 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 153
 154         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 155         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
 156
 157 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

 160
 161 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 162
 163         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 164         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 165         patch.
 166
 167 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 168
 169         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 170         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 171
 172 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 173
 174         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 175         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 176         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 177
 178         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 179         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 180         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 181         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 182         actual documentation entries themselves.
 183
 184 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 185
 186         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 189
 190         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.

 196
 197         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 198         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 199         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 200         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

 202         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 203
 204         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 213         `symbol-append'.

 215         args.
 216         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 217         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 218         even worked...  /mdj.
 219         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 220         `symbol->string'.
 221         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 222         semantics.
 223
 224 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 225
 226         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

 249         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 250         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 251         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 252         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 253         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

 256

 259         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 260         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 261
 262         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 263         syntactic bindings.
 264
 265         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 266         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 267         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 268         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 269
 270         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 281
 282         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 283         definition of module-type.
 284

 286
 287         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 288
 289         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 290         lines.
 291         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 292         *after* all used interfaces has been added.

 378         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 379         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 380         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 381         (help): Rewritten.
 382
 383         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 384
 385         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 386
 387 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 388
 389         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 390         (write-all): Removed.
 391         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 392         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 393
 394 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 395
 396         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 397         `proc-documentation'
 398
 399         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 400         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 401         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 402         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 403         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 404         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 405         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 406         getter...)
 407
 408 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 409
 410         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 411
 412 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 413
 414         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 415         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 416         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 417         closure.
 418
 419 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 420
 421         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 422         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 423         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 424         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 425         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 426         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 427         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 428
 429 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 432         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 433
 434 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 435
 436         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 437         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 438
 439 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 440
 441         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 442         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 443         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 444         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 445         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 446         delete-if! when iterating.
 447
 448 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 449
 450         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 451
 452 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 453
 454         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 455
 456 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 457
 458         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 459         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 460         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 461         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 462
 463 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 464
 465         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 466         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 467
 468 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 469
 470         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 471         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 472         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 473         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 474
 475 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 476
 477         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 478         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 479
 480 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 481
 482         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 483         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 484
 485 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 488         Dirk Hermann!
 489
 490 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 491
 492         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 493         source of the numerous very short changes.
 494
 495 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 496
 497         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 498         public.
 499
 500         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 501         info pages.
 502
 503 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 504
 505         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 506         from slib docs.
 507
 508 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 509
 510         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 511         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 512
 513 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 514
 515         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 516         to string-append.
 517
 518 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 519
 520         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 521         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 522         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 523
 524 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 525
 526         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 527         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 528         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 529         Narazaki for this change.
 530
 531 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 532
 533         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 534         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 535         %S.
 536
 537         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 538         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 539
 540 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 543         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 544
 545 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 546
 547         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 548         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 549         use define-public to export from the module.
 550
 551 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 552
 553         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 554         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 555         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 556
 557 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 558
 559         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 560
 561 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 562
 563         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 564         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 565
 566 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 567
 568         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 569
 570         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 571
 572         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 573
 574 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 575
 576         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 577         long_long uniform vectors.
 578
 579 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 580
 581         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 582         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 583
 584 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 585
 586         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 587         script to create generated files like this one.
 588
 589 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 592         available before using getpw and getuid.
 593         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 594         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 595         check for stat.
 596         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 597         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 598         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 599         available.
 600         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 601         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 602         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 603
 604         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 605         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 606
 607         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 608
 609 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 610
 611         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 612         than 'exit-debugger.
 613
 614         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 615         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 616
 617         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 618
 619 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 620
 621         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 622         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 623         ("position"): New command.
 624         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 625         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 626         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 627         to return a valid state.)
 628         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 629
 630 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 631
 632         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 633         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 634         Badros.)
 635
 636 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 637
 638         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 639         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 640
 641 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 642
 643         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 644
 645         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 648         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 649
 650         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
 651         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 652         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 653         expression.
 654         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 655         Handle errors.
 656
 657 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 658
 659         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 660         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 661
 662         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 663
 664 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 665
 666         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 667         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 668         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 669         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 670
 671         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 672         argument.
 673
 674         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 675         both forward and backward views of the stack
 676         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 677         Use selector `frame-number';
 678         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 679         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 680         Use (ice-9 debug).
 681         Use readline conditionally.
 682
 683 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 684
 685         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 686         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 687         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 688
 689         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 690         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 691         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 692
 693 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 694
 695         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 698
 699         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 700
 701         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 702
 703 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 704
 705         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 706         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 707         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 708         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 709         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 710         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 711         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 712         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 713         libguile-config-stamp.
 714         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 715         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 716         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 717         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 718         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 719
 720 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 721
 722         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 723         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 724         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 725
 726         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 727         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 728         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 729         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 730         readline.
 731
 732         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 733
 734 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 735
 736         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 737
 738 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 739
 740         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 741         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 742
 743 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 744
 745         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 746         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 747         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 748         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 749         objects starting with '#/'.

 753         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 754         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 755         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 756         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 757         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 758         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 759         `observer-id'.
 760         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 761         module-modified): New procedures.
 762         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 763         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 764
 765 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 768         defines.
 769
 770 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 771
 772         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 773         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 774         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 775
 776         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 777         position.
 778
 779 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 780
 781         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 782         at multiple calls to read.
 783         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 784         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 785         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 786         continued-lines prompt.
 787
 788         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 789         reading expressions.
 790
 791 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 792
 793         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 794         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 795
 796 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 797
 798         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 799         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 800         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 801
 802         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 803
 804         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 805         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 806
 807         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 808         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 809         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 810         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 811         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 812         instead of a port.
 813
 814 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 815
 816         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 817         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 818
 819         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 820
 821         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 822         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 823         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 824         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 825
 826         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 827
 828         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 829
 830         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 831         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 832         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 833         an alist.
 834
 835         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 836
 837         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 838         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 839         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 840         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 841         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 842         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 843         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 844         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 845         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 846         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 847         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 848
 849         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 850
 851         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 852         peeked from the stream.
 853         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 854         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 855         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 856
 857         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 858
 859         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 860         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 861
 862         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 863
 864         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 865         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 866         exiting repl with single control-D.
 867
 868         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 869
 870         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 871         error catching loop after quit received.
 872         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 873
 874         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 875         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 876         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 879         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 880         boot-9.scm.
 881         * popen.scm: new file.
 882
 883 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 884
 885        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 886        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 887
 888 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 889
 890         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 891         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 892
 893 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 894
 895         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 896         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 897         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 898         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 899         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 900
 901 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 902
 903         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 904
 905         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 906         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 907
 908         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 909         Guile's module system.
 910
 911         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 912         changes:
 913         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 914         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 915         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 916         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 917         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 918         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 919         modern CL behavior.
 920         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 921         '() when the condition is false.
 922
 923 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 924
 925         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 926
 927 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 928
 929         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 930
 931 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 932
 933         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 934         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 935         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 936
 937 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 938
 939         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 940         argument order for hash-fold.
 941
 942 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 945         resolve-module.
 946         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 947         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 948
 949         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 950         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 951         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 952         has been added to the load path).
 953
 954         Use try-load-module.
 955
 956 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 957
 958         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 959         module between system and user state.
 960
 961 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 962
 963         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 964
 965         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 966         definition.
 967
 968 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 969
 970         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 971         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 972         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 973
 974 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 975
 976         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 977         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 978         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 979         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 980         stack frame encountered.
 981
 982         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 983         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 984         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 985         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 986         list).]
 987
 988         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 989         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 990         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 991         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 992         please tell me!]
 993
 994         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 995         define-module switches:
 996
 997         (define-module (foo)
 998           :no-backtrace)
 999
1000         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1001         modules.
1002
1003         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1004         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1005         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1006         module it is a system frame.
1007
1008         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1009         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1010         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1011         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1012         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1013
1014         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1015         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1016         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1017         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1018         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1019         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1020
1021         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1022         status of a module.;
1023         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1024         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1025
1026         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1027         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1028         closure to the module.
1029
1030         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1031
1032 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1033
1034         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1035
1036 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1037
1038         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1039
1040 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1041
1042         Fix from Russ McManus:
1043         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1044         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1045         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1046         either an optional or required value.
1047
1048 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1049
1050         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1051
1052         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1053         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1054
1055         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1056         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1057         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1058         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1059

1061
1062         * optargs.scm: New file.
1063         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1064         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1065
1066 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1067
1068         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1069         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1070         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1071
1072 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1073
1074         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1075         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1076         for isn't loaded.
1077
1078 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1079
1080         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1081
1082 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1083
1084         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1085         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1086         applied to the module itself.
1087
1088 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1089
1090         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1091
1092         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1093         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1094
1095 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1098
1099 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1100

1102
1103 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1104
1105         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1106         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1107
1108 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1109
1110         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1111         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1112         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1113         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1114         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1115         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1116         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.

1120         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1121         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1122
1123 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1124
1125         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1126         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1127         static libraries.
1128
1129 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1130
1131         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1132
1133 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1134
1135         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1136
1137 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1138
1139         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1140         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1141         adapt to the new hooks.
1142
1143 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1144
1145         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1146         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1147         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1148         code.
1149         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1150         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1151
1152         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1153         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1154         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1155         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1156         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1157         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1158         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1159         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1160         first to register linked modules.
1161
1162         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1163         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1164         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1167         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1168         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1169         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1170
1171         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1172         to use from C:
1173         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1174         libguile/feature.c.
1175
1176         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1177         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1178         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1179
1180 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1181
1182         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1183         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1184         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1185
1186 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1187
1188         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1189         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1190         result of the last form.
1191
1192 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1195         syncase.scm.
1196
1197         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1200         readline-set!: New options interface.
1201
1202         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1203
1204 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1207         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1208
1209 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1210
1211         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1212         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1213
1214 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1215
1216         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1217         interactive session.
1218         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1219
1220         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1221         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1222
1223 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1224
1225         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1226
1227 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1228
1229         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1230         read line was empty.
1231
1232 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1233
1234         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1235         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1236
1237         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1238
1239         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1240         problem.  Duh.
1241         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1242         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1243         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1246         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1247         into...
1248         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1249         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1250         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1251
1252         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1253         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1254         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1255         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1256         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1257         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1258         psyntax.ss.
1259         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1260
1261         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1262         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1263
1264 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1265
1266         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1267         and short vectors #h(...).
1268
1269 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1270
1271         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1272         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1273         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1274
1275 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1276
1277         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1278         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1279         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1280
1281 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1282
1283         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1284         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1285
1286         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1287         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1288         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1289         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1290
1291 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1292
1293         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1294         trace flag.
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1297         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1298         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1299         context with traps enabled.
1300
1301 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1302
1303         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1304         module.
1305         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1306
1307 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1308
1309         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1310         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1311         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1312         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1313         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1314
1315 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1316
1317         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1318         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1319
1320 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1321
1322         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1323
1324 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1325
1326         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1327
1328 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1329
1330         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1331
1332 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1333
1334         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1335         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1336
1337 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1338
1339         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1340         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1341         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1342         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1343         Archibald.)
1344
1345         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1346         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1347         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1348
1349 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1350
1351         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1352         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1353         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1354         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1355         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1356         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1357         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1358
1359 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1362
1363 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1364
1365         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1366         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1367         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1368         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1369         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1370         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1371
1372 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1373
1374         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1375         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1376         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1377         Steven G. Johnson.)
1378
1379 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1380
1381         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1382
1383 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1384
1385         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1386
1387 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1388
1389         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1390         be completed.
1391
1392 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1393
1394         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1395
1396 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1399         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1400
1401 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1404         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1405         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1406         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1407         transformer.
1408         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1409         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1410
1411 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1412
1413         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1414
1415 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1416
1417         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1418         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1419         completion.
1420
1421         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1422         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1423
1424         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1425         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1426         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1427
1428         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1429
1430 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1431
1432         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1433
1434         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1435         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1436
1437 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1438
1439         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1440
1441 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1442
1443         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1444         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1445
1446         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1447
1448         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1449         obsolete.
1450
1451 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1452
1453         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1454         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1455
1456 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1457
1458         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1459
1460 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1463         Stachowiak.)
1464
1465 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1466
1467         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1468         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1469         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1470         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1471         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other

1476         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1477         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1478         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1479
1480 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1481
1482         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1483
1484         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1485         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1486
1487 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1488
1489         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1490         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1491         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1492         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1493         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1494         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1495         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1496         to go here.

1498 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1499
1500         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1501         is now a fluid.
1502
1503 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1504
1505         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1506         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1507         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1508         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1509         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1510         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.

1512 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1515         usefully so they will work from a script.
1516
1517 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1520         neighborhood of the record code.
1521

1523
1524         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1525         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1526         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1527         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1528
1529 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1530
1531         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1532         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1533         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1534

1536
1537         Add support for readline function.
1538         * readline.scm: New module.
1539         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1540         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1541         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1542         anything.
1543         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1544         repl-reader to use them.
1545         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1546
1547         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1548

1554 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1555
1556         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1557         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1558         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1559
1560 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1561
1562         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1563         #f, abort terminates the process.
1564         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1565         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1566
1567 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1568
1569         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1570         print-state, throw it away.
1571
1572 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1573
1574         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1575         `0'.
1576
1577 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1580         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1581         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1582         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1583         user field).
1584         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1585         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.

1592
1593         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1594         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1595         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1596         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1597         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1598         boot-9.scm.
1599         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1600         distribution and installation.
1601         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1606
1607 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608
1609         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1610         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1611         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1612
1613         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1614         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1615         symbol.
1616
1617 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1618
1619         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1620

1626         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1627         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1628         field a separate argument.
1629
1630         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1631

1633
1634         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1635
1636         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1637         vicinity;
1638         Provide defmacro.
1639
1640 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1645
1646         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1647         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1648         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1649         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1650         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1651         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1652         registered.
1653         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1654         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1655         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1656         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1657         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1658         link a .so-file.

1670
1671         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1672
1673         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1674         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1675         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1676         expansion inside the slib module.
1677
1678         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1679         constructors.

1686         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1687
1688         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1689         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1690         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1691         source.
1692         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1693         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1694         been loaded.
1695
1696 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1697
1698         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1699         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1700         `use-syntax'.
1701         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1702
1703         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1705         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1706         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1707         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1708         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1709         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1710         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1711         module.
1712         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1713
1714 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1715
1716         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1717
1718         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1719         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1720         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1721         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1722         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1723
1724         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1725         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1726         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1727         syncase macros.
1728         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1729         the syncase interface.
1730
1731 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1732
1733         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1734         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1735         workings of the current module system).
1736
1737 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1738
1739         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1740         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1741         off!
1742
1743 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1748

1750
1751         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1752         according to the following priorities:
1753         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1754         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1755         3. tcl bindings
1756         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1757         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1758         (new-interpreter): New function.
1759
1760         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1761         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1762         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1779
1780         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1781         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1782         source!
1783
1784 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1789         symbols matching regexp.
1790
1791         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1792         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1793         in stack-ref).
1794
1795         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1796         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1797         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1798         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1799         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1800         result protocol;

1815
1816         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1817         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1818         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1819
1820         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1837
1838         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1839         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1840         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1841
1842         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1843         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1844         the top.
1845
1846         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1847         order to narrow it correctly.

1861         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1862         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1863
1864 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1865
1866         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1867         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1868         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1869
1870 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1878         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1879         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1880         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1881         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1882
1883 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1884
1885         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1886         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1887         a default of /.
1888
1889         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1890
1891 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1893         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1894         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

1898         make-regexp.
1899

1901
1902         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1903         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1904         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1905         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1906         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1907         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1908
1909         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1910         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1911         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1912         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1913
1914 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1915
1916         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1917         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1918         sending in bug reports.
1919         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1920         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1921         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1922         display a warning if the two are different.
1923         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1924         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1925         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1926
1927 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1930
1931 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1932
1933         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1934         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1935
1936         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1937         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1938         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1939         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1940         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1941         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1942         that's okay.
1943
1944         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1945         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1946         regexp interface.
1947
1948         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1949         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1952         function names.
1953
1954         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1955         fixes.
1956
1957 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1958
1959         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1960         ../configure.in.
1961
1962 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1965         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1966
1967 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1968
1969         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1970         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1971         to support printing of structures.
1972         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1973         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1974         commented out printing code.
1975         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1976         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1977
1978 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1979
1980         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1981
1982 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1983
1984         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1985         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1986         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1987         during call to scm-style-repl.
1988
1989 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1990
1991         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1992         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1993         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1994         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1995         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1996
1997 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1998
1999         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2000         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2001         (ice-9 regex).
2002
2003 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2004
2005         * regex.scm: New file.
2006         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2007         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2008
2009 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2010

2019         in 1997.
2020
2021 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2022
2023         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2024         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2025         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2026
2027 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2028
2029         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2030         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2031         here.
2032
2033 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2034
2035         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2043         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2044         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2045         fixes this too.
2046
2047 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2048
2049         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2050         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2051         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2052
2053 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2054
2055         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2056         the Scheme code like code yet.
2057         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2058
2059 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2060
2061         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2062         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2063         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2064
2065 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2066
2067         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2068         use-modules macro
2069         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2070         can't be found.
2071
2072 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2073
2074         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

2076 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2077
2078         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2079
2080         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2081         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.

2105
2106         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

2124
2125         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,

2127
2128 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2131         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2132         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2133         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2134

2148

2157         (read-sharp): removed.
2158         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2159         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2160
2161 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2162
2163         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2164
2165         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2166         primitive procedure.)
2167
2168         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2169         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2170
2171 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2172
2173         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2174
2175 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2176
2177         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2178
2179 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2180
2181         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2182         read gets EOF.
2183         * (exit): alias for quit.
2184
2185 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2186
2187         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2188         return the quit args.
2189         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2190         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2191         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2192
2193         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2194
2195 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2196
2197         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2198
2199         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2200         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2201
2202         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2203         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2204
2205         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2206         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2207         of handlers.
2208
2209 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2210
2211         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2212
2213         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2214         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2215         Change hooks to use these functions.
2216
2217         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2218         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2219         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2220         the source! :-)
2221         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2222         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2223         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2224         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2225         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2226         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2227         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2228         traced.
2229
2230         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2231         and exit-frame exceptions.
2232
2233         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2234         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2235         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2236         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2237         result; otherwise display "> ".
2238         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2239
2240         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2241         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2242         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2243         repository version runnable.
2244
2245 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2248         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2249         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2250         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2251         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2252         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2253
2254 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2255
2256         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2257         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2258         and eval.
2259         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2260         "defined?".
2261         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2262         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2263
2264 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2265
2266         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2267
2268 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2269
2270         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2271         %read-sharp layer.
2272
2273 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2274
2275         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2276         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2277
2278 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2279
2280         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2281         backtrace.c.)
2282
2283 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2284
2285         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2286         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2287
2288 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2289
2290         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2291
2292         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2293         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2294         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2295         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2296         dynamic linking of modules.
2297         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2298         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2299
2300 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2301
2302         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2303
2304 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2305
2306         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2307         that's what it is.
2308
2309         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2310         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2311         was false.
2312
2313 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2314
2315         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2316         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2317         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2318
2319 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2320
2321         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2322         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2323         yet.
2324
2325 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2326
2327         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2328         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2329         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2330
2331 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2332
2333         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2334         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2335         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2336         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2339         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2340         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2341         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2342         (such as the-scm-module).
2343
2344 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2345
2346         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2347         %search-load-path.
2348
2349 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2350
2351         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2352         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2353         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2354
2355 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2356
2357         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2358         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2359         function, use it accordingly.
2360
2361 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2362
2363         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2364         function of no arguments.
2365         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2366         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2367         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2368         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2369         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2370         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2371         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2372         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2373
2374 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2375
2376         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2377         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2378
2379 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2380
2381         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2382         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2383         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2384         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2385         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2386
2387         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2388         `*features*'.
2389
2390         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2391         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2392         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2393         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2394
2395         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2396
2397         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2398
2399         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2400         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2401         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2402
2403         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2404         error.
2405
2406         Added `before-read-hook'.
2407
2408         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2409
2410         (provide): New function.
2411
2412         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2413         in backtraces.
2414
2415         (backtrace): New function.
2416
2417         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2418         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2419         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2420         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2421         is found in operator position in a frame.
2422
2423         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2424         by default.
2425
2426         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2427         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2428         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2429
2430         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2431
2432         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2433
2434         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2435
2436         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2437
2438 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2443         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2444
2445         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2446         so they'll get distributed.
2447
2448         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2449         should see as little clutter as possible.
2450         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2451         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2452         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2453
2454         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2455         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2456         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2457         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2458         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2459         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2460         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2461         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2462         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2463         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2464         that are not.
2465         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2466         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2467
2468         * test.scm: New file.
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2471         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2472         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2473
2474         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2475         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2476
2477         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2478         work now.
2479         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2480         call %load-announce.
2481
2482 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2483
2484         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2485         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2486         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2487         components.
2488         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2489
2490 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2491
2492         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2493         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2494         SCSH (which this isn't).
2495
2496 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2497
2498         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2499
2500 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2501
2502         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2503         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2504         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2505         these.
2506         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2507         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2508         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2509         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2510         save-stack.
2511
2512 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2513
2514         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2515
2516         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2517
2518         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2519         error-catching-loop.
2520         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2521         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2522         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2523
2524         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2525         error-catching-loop.
2526
2527 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2528
2529         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2530         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2531         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2532         should be '(), not #f.
2533
2534         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2535         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2536
2537 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2538
2539         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2540         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2541         error-signal.
2542
2543 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2544
2545         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2546         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2547         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2548         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2549
2550 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2551
2552         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2553
2554 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2555
2556         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2557
2558         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2559         throw-handler-default.
2560         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2561         reported.
2562         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2563         acro.
2564         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2565         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2566
2567 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2568
2569         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2570         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2571         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2572         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2573
2574 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2575
2576         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2577         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2578         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2579         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2580         ...))
2581         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2582         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2583         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2584         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2585         file-is-directory?
2586
2587 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2588
2589         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2590
2591         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2592         distribution.
2593
2594         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2595         `switch-repl'.
2596
2597         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2598
2599 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2600
2601         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2602         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2603
2604 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2605
2606         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2607
2608         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2609
2610 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2611
2612         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2613         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2614         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2615         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2616         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2617
2618         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2619         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2620         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2621         they seem redundant.
2622         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2623         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2624         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2625         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2626         directly files starting with "/").
2627         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2628         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2629
2630         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2631
2632 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2633
2634         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2635         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2636         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2637         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2638         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2639         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2640         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2641         robust to just do it in the C code.
2642
2643 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2644
2645         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2646         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2647         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2648         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2649         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2650
2651 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2652
2653         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2654         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2655         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2656
2657 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2658
2659         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2660         system-error, not every kind of error.
2661         (scm-error): new procedure.
2662
2663 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2664
2665         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2666
2667 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2668
2669         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2670         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2671         of args are supplied.
2672         (%%system-errors): removed.
2673         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2674         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2675         %%handle-system-error.
2676         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2677         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2678         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2679         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2680
2681 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2682
2683         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2684         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2685         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2686         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2687
2688 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2689
2690         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2691         the empty list if they are #f.
2692         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2693
2694 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2695
2696         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2697
2698         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2699         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2700         aborting, just the key and subr.
2701         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2702         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2703         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2704
2705 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2706
2707         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2708         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2709         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2710         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2711         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2712
2713 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2714
2715         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2716         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2717         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2718         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2719
2720 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2721
2722         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2723         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2724         initialize %load-path.
2725
2726         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2727         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2728
2729 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2730
2731         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2732         Add the directory named after the version number.
2733         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2734         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2735         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2736         sitedatadir): New definitions.
2737         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

2739         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2740         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2741
2742 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2743
2744         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2745         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2746         in the Makefile directly.
2747         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2748         for these.
2749         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2750         aux_files.
2751         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2752         here, where people expect to find them.

2755
2756         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2757         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2758
2759         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2760
2761 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2762
2763         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2764         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
2765
2766 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2767
2768         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2769         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2770
2771         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2772         weak-key-hash-table.
2773
2774 Sat Aug  3 06:16:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2775
2776         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2777         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return
2778         the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).

2780         (%open-file): removed.
2781         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2782         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2783
2784 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2785
2786         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2787         (manifest): Deleted.
2788         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2789         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2790
2791 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2792
2793         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2794         now that they throw errors directly.
2795         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2796         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2797
2798 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2799
2800         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2801
2802 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996  Tom Lord  <lord@beehive>
2803
2804         * The more things change...
2805
2806
