   2
   3         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
   4
   5 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
   6
   7         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
   8         read line was empty.
   9
  10 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  11
  12         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
  13         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
  14
  15         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
  16
  17         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
  18         problem.  Duh.
  19         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
  20         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
  21         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
  22
  23         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
  24         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
  25         into...
  26         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
  27         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
  28         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
  29
  30         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
  31         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
  32         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
  33         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
  34         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
  35         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
  36         psyntax.ss.
  37         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  38
  39         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
  40         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  41
  42 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  43
  44         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
  45         and short vectors #h(...).
  46
  47 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  48
  49         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
  50         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
  51         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
  52
  53 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  54
  55         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
  56         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
  57         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
  58
  59 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  60
  61         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
  62         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
  63
  64         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
  65         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
  66         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
  67         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
  68
  69 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  70
  71         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
  72         trace flag.
  73
  74         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
  75         order to allow the empty list as arg.
  76         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
  77         context with traps enabled.
  78
  79 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  80
  81         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
  82         module.
  83         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
  84
  85 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
  86
  87         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
  88         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
  89         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
  90         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
  91         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
  92
  93 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  94
  95         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
  96         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
  97
  98 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
  99
 100         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
 101
 102 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 103
 104         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
 105
 106 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 107
 108         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
 109
 110 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 111
 112         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
 113         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
 114
 115 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 116
 117         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
 118         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
 119         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
 120         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
 121         Archibald.)
 122
 123         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
 124         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
 125         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
 126
 127 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 128
 129         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
 130         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
 131         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
 132         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
 133         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
 134         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
 135         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 136
 137 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 138
 139         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
 140
 141 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 142
 143         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
 144         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
 145         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
 146         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
 147         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
 148         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
 149
 150 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 151
 152         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
 153         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
 154         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
 155         Steven G. Johnson.)
 156
 157 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 158
 159         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
 160
 161 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 162
 163         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
 164
 165 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 166
 167         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
 168         be completed.
 169
 170 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 171
 172         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
 173
 174 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
 177         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
 178
 179 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 180
 181         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
 182         similar in use to `use-modules'.
 183         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
 184         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
 185         transformer.
 186         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
 187         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
 188
 189 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 190
 191         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
 192
 193 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 194
 195         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
 196         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
 197         completion.
 198
 199         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
 200         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
 201
 202         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
 203         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
 204         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
 207
 208 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 209
 210         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
 211
 212         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
 213         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
 214
 215 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
 218
 219 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 220
 221         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
 222         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
 223
 224         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
 225
 226         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
 227         obsolete.
 228
 229 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 230
 231         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
 232         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
 233
 234 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 235
 236         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
 237
 238 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 239
 240         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
 241         Stachowiak.)
 242
 243 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 244
 245         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
 246         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
 247         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
 248         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
 249         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
 250         threads.
 251
 252 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 253
 254         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
 255         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
 256         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
 257
 258 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 259
 260         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
 261
 262         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
 263         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
 264
 265 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 266
 267         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
 268         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
 269         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
 270         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
 271         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
 272         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
 273         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
 274         to go here.
 275
 276 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
 279         is now a fluid.
 280
 281 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
 282
 283         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
 284         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
 285         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
 286         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
 287         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
 288         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
 289
 290 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
 293         usefully so they will work from a script.
 294
 295 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 296
 297         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
 298         neighborhood of the record code.
 299
 300 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 301
 302         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
 303         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
 304         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
 305         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
 306
 307 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 308
 309         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
 310         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
 311         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 312
 313 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 314
 315         Add support for readline function.
 316         * readline.scm: New module.
 317         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
 318         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
 319         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
 320         anything.
 321         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
 322         repl-reader to use them.
 323         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
 324
 325         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
 326
 327 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 328
 329         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 330         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
 331
 332 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 333
 334         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
 335         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
 336         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
 337
 338 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 339
 340         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
 341         #f, abort terminates the process.
 342         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
 343         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
 344
 345 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 346
 347         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
 348         print-state, throw it away.
 349
 350 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 351
 352         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
 353         `0'.
 354
 355 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
 356
 357         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
 358         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
 359         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
 360         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
 361         user field).
 362         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
 363         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
 364
 365 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 366
 367         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
 368
 369 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 370
 371         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
 372         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
 373         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
 374         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
 375         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
 376         boot-9.scm.
 377         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
 378         distribution and installation.
 379         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 380
 381 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 382
 383         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
 384
 385 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 386
 387         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
 388         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
 389         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
 390
 391         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
 392         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
 393         symbol.
 394
 395 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 396
 397         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
 398
 399         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
 400
 401 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
 402
 403         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
 404         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
 405         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
 406         field a separate argument.
 407
 408         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
 409
 410 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 411
 412         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
 413
 414         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
 415         vicinity;
 416         Provide defmacro.
 417
 418 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 419
 420         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
 421
 422 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 423
 424         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
 425         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
 426         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
 427         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
 428         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
 429         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
 430         registered.
 431         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
 432         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
 433         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
 434         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
 435         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
 436         link a .so-file.
 437
 438 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 439
 440         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
 441
 442 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 443
 444         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
 445         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
 446
 447 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 448
 449         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
 450
 451         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
 452         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
 453         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
 454         expansion inside the slib module.
 455
 456         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
 457         constructors.
 458         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
 459         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
 460         (let): New core form.
 461         (if): Removed from core language.
 462         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
 463         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
 464         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
 465
 466         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
 467         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
 468         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
 469         source.
 470         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
 471         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
 472         been loaded.
 473
 474 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
 475
 476         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
 477         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
 478         `use-syntax'.

 480
 481         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
 482         (make-module): Modified initialization.
 483         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
 484         mutator for module-associated transformer.
 485         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
 486         `scm:eval-transformer'.
 487         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
 488         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
 489         module.
 490         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
 491
 492 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 493
 494         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
 495
 496         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
 497         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
 498         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
 499         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
 500         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
 501
 502         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
 503         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
 504         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
 505         syncase macros.
 506         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
 507         the syncase interface.
 508
 509 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 510
 511         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
 512         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
 513         workings of the current module system).
 514
 515 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 516
 517         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
 518         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
 519         off!
 520
 521 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 522
 523         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
 524         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 525         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
 526
 527 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 528
 529         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
 530         according to the following priorities:
 531         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
 532         2. bindings from the-scm-module
 533         3. tcl bindings
 534         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
 535         disabling the scheme interpreter.
 536         (new-interpreter): New function.
 537
 538         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
 539         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
 540         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
 541
 542 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

 549
 550 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 551
 552         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
 553         procedures.
 554         (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
 555
 556 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 557
 558         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
 559         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
 560         source!
 561
 562 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 563
 564         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.

 569         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
 570         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
 571         in stack-ref).
 572
 573         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
 574         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
 575         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
 576         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
 577         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
 578         result protocol;

 585         (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
 586
 587         * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
 588         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
 589
 590         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
 591
 592 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 593
 594         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
 595         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
 596         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
 597
 598         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
 599
 600         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
 601         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
 602         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
 603
 604 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 612         cstime.
 613
 614 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 615
 616         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
 617         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
 618         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
 619
 620         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
 621         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
 622         the top.
 623
 624         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
 625         order to narrow it correctly.
 626         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
 627
 628 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 629
 630         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

 634
 635         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
 636
 637 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 638
 639         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
 640         builtin `with-fluids*'.
 641
 642 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 643
 644         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
 645         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
 646         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
 647
 648 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 649
 650         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

 656         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
 657         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
 658         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
 659         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
 660
 661 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 662
 663         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
 664         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
 665         a default of /.
 666
 667         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
 668
 669 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

 681         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
 682         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
 683         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
 684         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
 685         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
 686
 687         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
 688         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
 689         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
 690         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
 691
 692 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 693
 694         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
 695         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
 696         sending in bug reports.
 697         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
 698         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
 699         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
 700         display a warning if the two are different.
 701         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
 702         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
 703         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 704
 705 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

 710
 711         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
 712         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
 713
 714         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
 715         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
 716         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 717         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 718         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 719         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 720         that's okay.
 721
 722         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 723         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 724         regexp interface.
 725
 726         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 727         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 728
 729         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 730         function names.
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 733         fixes.
 734
 735 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 736
 737         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 738         ../configure.in.
 739
 740 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 743         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 744
 745 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 748         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 749         to support printing of structures.
 750         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 751         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 752         commented out printing code.
 753         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 754         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 755
 756 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 757
 758         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 759
 760 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 763         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 764         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 765         during call to scm-style-repl.
 766
 767 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 768
 769         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 770         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 771         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 772         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 773         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 774
 775 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 776
 777         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 778         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 779         (ice-9 regex).
 780
 781 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 782
 783         * regex.scm: New file.
 784         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 785         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 786
 787 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 788
 789         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 790         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 791         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 792         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
 793
 794 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 795
 796         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
 797         in 1997.
 798
 799 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 800
 801         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 802         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 803         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 804
 805 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 806
 807         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 808         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 809         here.
 810
 811 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 812
 813         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 814
 815 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 816
 817         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 818
 819 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 820
 821         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 822         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 823         fixes this too.
 824
 825 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 826
 827         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 828         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 829         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 830
 831 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 832
 833         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 834         the Scheme code like code yet.
 835         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 836
 837 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 838
 839         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 840         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 841         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 842
 843 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 844
 845         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 846         use-modules macro
 847         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 848         can't be found.
 849
 850 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 851
 852         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 853
 854 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 855
 856         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 857
 858         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 859         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 860         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 861
 862 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 863
 864         Get 'make dist' to work again.
 865         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
 866         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
 867
 868         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
 869         no plugins.
 870         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 871         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 872
 873 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 874
 875         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
 876         functions.
 877
 878 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 879
 880         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 881
 882 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 883
 884         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 885         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 886
 887 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 888
 889         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 890         instead of in libguile.
 891         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
 892         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
 893
 894 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 895
 896         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 897         procedures.
 898         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 899         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
 900
 901 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 902
 903         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
 904         sockaddr:port): new functions.
 905
 906 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 907
 908         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 909         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 910         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 911         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 912
 913 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 914
 915         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 916         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 917
 918 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
 921
 922 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 923
 924         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
 925         keywords and symbols.
 926
 927 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 928
 929         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 930
 931         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 932         Don't define read-sharp.
 933
 934         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 935         (read-sharp): removed.
 936         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 937         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 938
 939 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 940
 941         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 942
 943         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
 944         primitive procedure.)
 945
 946         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
 947         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
 948
 949 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 950
 951         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
 952
 953 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 954
 955         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
 956
 957 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 958
 959         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 960         read gets EOF.
 961         * (exit): alias for quit.
 962
 963 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 964
 965         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 966         return the quit args.
 967         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 968         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 969         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 970
 971         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 972
 973 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
 976
 977         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 978         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 979
 980         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 981         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 982
 983         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 984         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 985         of handlers.
 986
 987 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 988
 989         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 992         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 993         Change hooks to use these functions.
 994
 995         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 996         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 997         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 998         the source! :-)
 999         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1000         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1001         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1002         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
1003         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1004         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1005         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1006         traced.
1007
1008         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1009         and exit-frame exceptions.
1010
1011         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1012         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1013         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1014         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1015         result; otherwise display "> ".
1016         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1017
1018         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1019         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1020         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
1021         repository version runnable.
1022
1023 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1026         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
1027         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1028         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1029         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1030         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1031
1032 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1033
1034         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1035         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1036         and eval.
1037         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1038         "defined?".
1039         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1040         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
1041
1042 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1043
1044         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1045
1046 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1047
1048         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1049         %read-sharp layer.
1050
1051 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1054         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1055
1056 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1057
1058         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
1059         backtrace.c.)
1060
1061 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1062
1063         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1064         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1065
1066 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1067
1068         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1069
1070         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1071         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1072         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1073         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1074         dynamic linking of modules.
1075         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1076         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1077
1078 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1079
1080         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1081
1082 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1083
1084         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1085         that's what it is.
1086
1087         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1088         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
1089         was false.
1090
1091 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1092
1093         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1094         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1095         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1096
1097 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1098
1099         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1100         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
1101         yet.
1102
1103 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1104
1105         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1106         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1107         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1108
1109 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1112         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1113         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1114         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1115
1116         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1117         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1118         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1119         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1120         (such as the-scm-module).
1121
1122 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1123
1124         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1125         %search-load-path.
1126
1127 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
1128
1129         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1130         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1131         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1132
1133 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1134
1135         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1136         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1137         function, use it accordingly.
1138
1139 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1140
1141         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
1142         function of no arguments.
1143         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1144         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1145         set-current-module): Uses changed.
1146         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1147         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1148         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1149         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1150         *top-level-eval-closure*.
1151
1152 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1153
1154         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1155         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1156
1157 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1158
1159         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1160         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1161         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
1162         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
1163         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1164
1165         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1166         `*features*'.
1167
1168         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1169         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
1170         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1171         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1172
1173         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1174
1175         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1176
1177         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1178         If the user wants to see this, he can do
1179         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1180
1181         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1182         error.
1183
1184         Added `before-read-hook'.
1185
1186         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1187
1188         (provide): New function.
1189
1190         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1191         in backtraces.
1192
1193         (backtrace): New function.
1194
1195         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1196         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1197         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
1198         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1199         is found in operator position in a frame.
1200
1201         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1202         by default.
1203
1204         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1205         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1206         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1207
1208         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
1209
1210         (library-vicinity): Updated.
1211
1212         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1213
1214         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1215
1216 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1217
1218         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1219
1220         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1221         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
1222
1223         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1224         so they'll get distributed.
1225
1226         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
1227         should see as little clutter as possible.
1228         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1229         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1230         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1231
1232         * r4rs.scm: New file.
1233         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1234         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1235         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1236         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1237         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1238         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1239         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1240         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1241         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1242         that are not.
1243         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1244         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1245
1246         * test.scm: New file.
1247
1248         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1249         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
1250         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1251
1252         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1253         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1254
1255         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1256         work now.
1257         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
1258         call %load-announce.
1259
1260 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1261
1262         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1263         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1264         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1265         components.
1266         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1267
1268 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1269
1270         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1271         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1272         SCSH (which this isn't).
1273
1274 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1275
1276         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1277
1278 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1279
1280         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1281         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1282         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1283         these.
1284         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
1285         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
1286         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1287         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1288         save-stack.
1289
1290 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1291
1292         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1293
1294         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1297         error-catching-loop.
1298         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1299         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1300         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1301
1302         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1303         error-catching-loop.
1304
1305 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1308         (make-module): Rework for readability.
1309         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1310         should be '(), not #f.
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1313         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1314
1315 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1316
1317         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1318         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1319         error-signal.
1320
1321 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1324         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1325         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1326         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1327
1328 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1331
1332 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1333
1334         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1335
1336         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1337         throw-handler-default.
1338         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1339         reported.
1340         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1341         acro.
1342         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1343         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1344
1345 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1346
1347         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1348         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1349         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1350         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1351
1352 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1355         Append "." to the default %load-path.
1356         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1357         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1358         ...))
1359         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1360         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1361         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1362         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1363         file-is-directory?
1364
1365 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1366
1367         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1368
1369         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1370         distribution.
1371
1372         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1373         `switch-repl'.
1374
1375         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1376
1377 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1378
1379         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1380         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1381
1382 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1383
1384         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1387
1388 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
1391         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1392         Don't set up 'error as a key.
1393         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1394         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1395
1396         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1397         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1398         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1399         they seem redundant.
1400         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1401         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
1402         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1403         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
1404         directly files starting with "/").
1405         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1406         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1407
1408         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1409
1410 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1411
1412         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1413         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1414         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
1415         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1416         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1417         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
1418         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
1419         robust to just do it in the C code.
