ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
   4         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
   5         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
   6
   7 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
   8
   9         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
  10         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
  11
  12         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
  13         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
  14         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
  15         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
  16
  17 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  18
  19         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
  20         trace flag.
  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
  23         order to allow the empty list as arg.
  24         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
  25         context with traps enabled.
  26
  27 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  28
  29         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
  30         module.
  31         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
  32
  33 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  34
  35         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
  36         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
  37         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
  38         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
  39         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
  40
  41 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  42
  43         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
  44         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
  45
  46 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  47
  48         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
  49
  50 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
  51
  52         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
  53
  54 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  55
  56         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
  57
  58 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  59
  60         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
  61         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
  62
  63 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  64
  65         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
  66         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
  67         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
  68         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
  69         Archibald.)
  70
  71         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
  72         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
  73         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
  74
  75 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  76
  77         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
  78         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
  79         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
  80         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
  81         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
  82         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
  83         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
  84
  85 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  86
  87         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
  88
  89 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  90
  91         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
  92         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
  93         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
  94         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
  95         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
  96         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
  97
  98 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  99
 100         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 101         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 102         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 103         Steven G. Johnson.)
 104
 105 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 106
 107         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 108
 109 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 110
 111         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 112
 113 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 114
 115         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 116         be completed.
 117
 118 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 119
 120         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 121
 122 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 123
 124         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 125         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 126
 127 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 130         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 131         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 132         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 133         transformer.
 134         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 135         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 136
 137 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 138
 139         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 140
 141 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 142
 143         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 144         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 145         completion.
 146
 147         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 148         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 149
 150         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 151         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 152         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 153
 154         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 155
 156 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 159
 160         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 161         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 162
 163 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 166
 167 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 168
 169         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 170         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 171
 172         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 173
 174         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 175         obsolete.
 176
 177 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 178
 179         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 180         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 181
 182 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 183
 184         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 185
 186 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 187
 188         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 189         Stachowiak.)
 190
 191 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 192
 193         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 194         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 195         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 196         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 197         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 198         threads.
 199
 200 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 201
 202         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 203         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 204         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 205
 206 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 207
 208         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 209
 210         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 211         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 212
 213 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 214
 215 *       * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 216         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 217         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 218         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 219         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 220         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 221         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 222         to go here.
 223
 224 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 225
 226         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 227         is now a fluid.
 228
 229 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 230
 231         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 232         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 233         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 234         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 235         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 236         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 237
 238 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 239
 240         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 241         usefully so they will work from a script.
 242
 243 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 244
 245         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 246         neighborhood of the record code.
 247
 248 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 249
 250         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 251         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 252         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 253         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 254
 255 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 256
 257         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 258         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 259         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 260
 261 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 262
 263         Add support for readline function.
 264         * readline.scm: New module.
 265         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 266         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 267         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 268         anything.
 269         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 270         repl-reader to use them.
 271         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 272
 273         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 274
 275 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 276
 277         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 278         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 279
 280 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 281
 282         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 283         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 284         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 285
 286 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 287
 288         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 289         #f, abort terminates the process.
 290         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 291         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 292
 293 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 294
 295         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 296         print-state, throw it away.
 297
 298 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 299
 300         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 301         `0'.
 302
 303 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 304
 305         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 306         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 307         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 308         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 309         user field).
 310         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 311         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 312
 313 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 314
 315         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 316
 317 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 318
 319         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 320         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 321         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 322         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 323         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 324         boot-9.scm.
 325         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 326         distribution and installation.
 327         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 328
 329 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 330
 331         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 332
 333 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 334
 335         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 336         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 337         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 338
 339         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 340         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 341         symbol.
 342
 343 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 344
 345         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 346
 347         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 348
 349 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 352         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 353         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 354         field a separate argument.
 355
 356         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 357
 358 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 359
 360         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 361
 362         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 363         vicinity;
 364         Provide defmacro.
 365
 366 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 367
 368         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 369
 370 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 371
 372         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 373         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 374         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 375         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 376         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 377         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 378         registered.
 379         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 380         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 381         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 382         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 383         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 384         link a .so-file.

 386 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 387
 388         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 389
 390 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 391
 392         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 393         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 394
 395 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 396
 397 *       * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 398
 399         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 400         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 401         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 402         expansion inside the slib module.
 403
 404         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 405         constructors.
 406         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 407         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 408         (let): New core form.
 409         (if): Removed from core language.
 410         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 411         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 412         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 413
 414         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 415         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 416         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 417         source.
 418         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 419         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 420         been loaded.
 421
 422 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 423
 424         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 425         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 426         `use-syntax'.
 427         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
 428
 429         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 430         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 431         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 432         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 433         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 434         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 435         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 436 *       (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 437         module.
 438         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 439
 440 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 441
 442         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 443
 444         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 445         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 446         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 447         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 448         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 449
 450         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 451         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 452         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 453         syncase macros.
 454         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 455         the syncase interface.
 456
 457 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 458
 459         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 460         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 461         workings of the current module system).
 462
 463 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 464
 465         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 466         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 467         off!
 468
 469 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 470
 471         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 472         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 473         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 474
 475 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 476
 477         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 478         according to the following priorities:
 479         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 480         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 481         3. tcl bindings
 482         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 483         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 484         (new-interpreter): New function.
 485
 486         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 487         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 488         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 489
 490 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 491
 492         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

 495
 496         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
 497
 498 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 499
 500         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 501         procedures.
 502         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 503
 504 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 505
 506         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 507         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 508         source!
 509
 510 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 511
 512         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
 513         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

 517         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 518         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 519         in stack-ref).
 520
 521         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 522         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 523         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 524         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 525         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 526         result protocol;
 527         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
 528         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
 529
 530 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 531
 532         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
 533         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 534
 535         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 536         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 537
 538         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 539
 540 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 541
 542         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 543         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 544         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 545
 546         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 547
 548 *       * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 549         psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
 550         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
 551
 552 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 553
 554 *       * session.scm: New file: Session support.
 555         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

 557 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 558
 559         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
 560         cstime.
 561
 562 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 563
 564         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 565         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 566         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 567
 568         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 569         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 570         the top.
 571
 572         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 573         order to narrow it correctly.
 574         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
 575
 576 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 577
 578         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
 579         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.

 582
 583         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 584
 585 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 586
 587         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 588         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 589
 590 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 591
 592         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 593         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 594         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 595
 596 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 597
 598         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
 599         automatically.
 600
 601 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 602
 603         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
 604         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 605         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 606         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 607         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 608
 609 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 610
 611         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 612         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 613         a default of /.
 614
 615         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 616
 617 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
 620         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
 621         notation, instead of #/ notation.
 622
 623         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
 624         make-regexp.
 625
 626 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 627
 628         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
 629         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 630         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 631         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 632         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 633         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 634
 635         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 636         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 637         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 638         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 639
 640 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 641
 642         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 643         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 644         sending in bug reports.
 645         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 646         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 647         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 648         display a warning if the two are different.
 649         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 650         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 651         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 652
 653 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 654
 655         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
 656
 657 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 658
 659         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 660         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 661
 662         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 663         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 664         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 665         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 666         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 667         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 668         that's okay.
 669
 670         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 671         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 672         regexp interface.
 673
 674         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 675         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 676
 677         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 678         function names.
 679
 680         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 681         fixes.
 682
 683 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 684
 685         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 686         ../configure.in.
 687
 688 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 689
 690         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 691         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 692
 693 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 694
 695         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 696         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 697         to support printing of structures.
 698         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 699         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 700         commented out printing code.
 701         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 702         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 703
 704 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 705
 706         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 707
 708 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 709
 710         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 711         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 712         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 713         during call to scm-style-repl.
 714
 715 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 716
 717         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 718         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 719         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 720         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 721         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.

 723 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 724
 725         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 726         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 727         (ice-9 regex).
 728
 729 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 730
 731         * regex.scm: New file.
 732         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 733         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 734
 735 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 736
 737         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 738         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 739         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 740         threads.scm: New address for FSF.

 742 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 743
 744         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 745         in 1997.
 746
 747 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 748
 749         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 750         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 751         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 752
 753 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 756         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 757         here.
 758
 759 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 760
 761         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 762
 763 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 764
 765         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 766
 767 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 770         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 771         fixes this too.
 772
 773 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 774
 775         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 776         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 777         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 778
 779 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 780
 781         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 782         the Scheme code like code yet.
 783         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 784
 785 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 786
 787         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 788         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 789         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 790
 791 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 792
 793         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 794         use-modules macro
 795         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 796         can't be found.
 797
 798 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 799
 800         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 801
 802 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 803
 804         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 805
 806         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 807         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 808         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 809
 810 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 811
 812         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 813         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 814         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 815
 816         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 817         no plugins.
 818         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 819         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 820

 822
 823         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 824         functions.
 825
 826 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 829
 830 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 831
 832         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 833         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 834
 835 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 836
 837         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 838         instead of in libguile.
 839         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 840         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 841
 842 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 843
 844         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 845         procedures.
 846         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 847         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 848
 849 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 850
 851         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 852         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 853
 854 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 855
 856         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 857         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 858         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 859         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 860
 861 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 862
 863         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 864         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 865
 866 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 867
 868         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 869
 870 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 871
 872         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 873         keywords and symbols.
 874
 875 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 876
 877         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 878
 879         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 880         Don't define read-sharp.
 881
 882         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 883         (read-sharp): removed.
 884         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 885         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 886
 887 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 888
 889         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 890
 891         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 892         primitive procedure.)
 893
 894         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 895         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
 896
 897 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 898
 899         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 900
 901 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 902
 903         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 904
 905 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 908         read gets EOF.
 909         * (exit): alias for quit.
 910
 911 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 912
 913         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 914         return the quit args.
 915         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 916         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 917         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 918
 919         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 920
 921 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 922
 923         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 924
 925         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 926         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 927
 928         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 929         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 930
 931         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 932         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 933         of handlers.
 934
 935 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 936
 937         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 938
 939         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 940         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 941         Change hooks to use these functions.
 942
 943         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 944         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 945         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 946         the source! :-)
 947         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 948         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 949         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 950         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 951         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 952         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 953         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 954         traced.
 955
 956         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 957         and exit-frame exceptions.
 958
 959         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 960         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 961         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 962         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 963         result; otherwise display "> ".
 964         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 965
 966         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 967         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 968         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 969         repository version runnable.
 970
 971 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 974         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 975         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 976         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 977         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 978         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 979
 980 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 981
 982         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 983         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 984         and eval.
 985         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 986         "defined?".
 987         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 988         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 989
 990 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 991
 992         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 993
 994 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 997         %read-sharp layer.
 998
 999 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1000
1001         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1002         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1003
1004 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1005
1006         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1007         backtrace.c.)
1008
1009 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1010
1011         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1012         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1013
1014 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1015
1016         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1017
1018         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1019         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1020         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1021         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1022         dynamic linking of modules.
1023         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1024         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1025
1026 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1029
1030 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1031
1032         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1033         that's what it is.
1034
1035         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1036         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1037         was false.
1038
1039 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1040
1041         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1042         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1043         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1044
1045 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1046
1047         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1048         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1049         yet.
1050
1051 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1054         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1055         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1056
1057 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1058
1059         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1060         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1061         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1062         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1063
1064         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1065         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1066         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1067         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1068         (such as the-scm-module).
1069
1070 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1071
1072         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1073         %search-load-path.
1074
1075 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1076
1077         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1078         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1079         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1080
1081 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1082
1083         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1084         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1085         function, use it accordingly.
1086
1087 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1088
1089         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1090         function of no arguments.
1091         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1092         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1093         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1094         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1095         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1096         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1097         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1098         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1099
1100 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1101
1102         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1103         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1104
1105 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1106
1107         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1108         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1109         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1110         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1111         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1112
1113         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1114         `*features*'.
1115
1116         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1117         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1118         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1119         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1120
1121         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1122
1123         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1124
1125         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1126         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1127         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1128
1129         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1130         error.
1131
1132         Added `before-read-hook'.
1133
1134         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1135
1136         (provide): New function.
1137
1138         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1139         in backtraces.
1140
1141         (backtrace): New function.
1142
1143         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1144         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1145         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1146         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1147         is found in operator position in a frame.
1148
1149         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1150         by default.
1151
1152         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1153         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1154         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1155
1156         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1157
1158         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1159
1160         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1161
1162         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1163
1164 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1167
1168         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1169         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1170
1171         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1172         so they'll get distributed.
1173
1174         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1175         should see as little clutter as possible.
1176         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1177         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1178         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1179
1180         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1181         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1182         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1183         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1184         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1185         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1186         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1187         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1188         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1189         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1190         that are not.
1191         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1192         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1193
1194         * test.scm: New file.
1195
1196         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1197         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1198         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1199
1200         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1201         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1202
1203         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1204         work now.
1205         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1206         call %load-announce.
1207
1208 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1209
1210         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1211         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1212         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1213         components.
1214         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1215
1216 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1217
1218         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1219         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1220         SCSH (which this isn't).
1221
1222 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1225
1226 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1227
1228         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1229         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1230         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1231         these.
1232         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1233         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1234         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1235         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1236         save-stack.
1237
1238 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1239
1240         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1241
1242         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1243
1244         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1245         error-catching-loop.
1246         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1247         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1248         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1249
1250         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1251         error-catching-loop.
1252
1253 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1254
1255         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1256         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1257         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1258         should be '(), not #f.
1259
1260         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1261         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1262
1263 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1264
1265         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1266         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1267         error-signal.
1268
1269 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1272         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1273         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1274         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1275
1276 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1277
1278         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1279
1280 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1281
1282         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1283
1284         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1285         throw-handler-default.
1286         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1287         reported.
1288         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1289         acro.
1290         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1291         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1292
1293 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1294
1295         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1296         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1297         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1298         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1299
1300 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1301
1302         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1303         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1304         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1305         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1306         ...))
1307         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1308         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1309         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1310         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1311         file-is-directory?
1312
1313 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1314
1315         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1316
1317         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1318         distribution.
1319
1320         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1321         `switch-repl'.
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1324
1325 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1326
1327         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1328         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1329
1330 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1331
1332         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1333
1334         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1335
1336 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1337
1338         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1339         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1340         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1341         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1342         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1343
1344         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1345         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1346         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1347         they seem redundant.
1348         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1349         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1350         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1351         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1352         directly files starting with "/").
1353         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1354         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1355
1356         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1357
1358 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1359
1360         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1361         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1362         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1363         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1364         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1365         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1366         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1367         robust to just do it in the C code.
1368
1369 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1370
1371         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
1372         %try-load itself was the primitive.
1373         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
1374         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
1375         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
1376
1377 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1378
1379         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
1380         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
1381         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
1382
1383 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1384
1385         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
1386         system-error, not every kind of error.
1387         (scm-error): new procedure.
1388
1389 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1390
1391         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1392
1393 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1394
1395         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
1396         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
1397         of args are supplied.
1398         (%%system-errors): removed.
1399         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
1400         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
1401         %%handle-system-error.
1402         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
1403         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
1404         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
1405         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
1406
1407 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
1410         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
1411         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
1412         %S (embed an argument using "write").
1413
1414 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1415
1416         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
1417         the empty list if they are #f.

1422         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.

1425         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
1426         aborting, just the key and subr.
1427         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
1428         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
1429         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

1432
1433         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
1434         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
1435         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
1436         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
1437         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

1457         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
1458         Add the directory named after the version number.

1469
1470         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
1471         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
1472         in the Makefile directly.
1473         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
1474         for these.
1475         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and

1513         (manifest): Deleted.
1514         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

1516

1518
1519         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
