   1 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
   4         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
   5
   6 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
   9         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
  10         error-signal.
  11
  12 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  13
  14         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
  15         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
  16         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
  17         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
  18
  19 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  20
  21         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
  22
  23 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  24
  25         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
  26
  27         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
  28         throw-handler-default.
  29         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
  30         reported.
  31         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
  32         acro.
  33         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
  34         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
  35
  36 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  37
  38         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
  39         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
  40         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
  41         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
  42
  43 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  44
  45         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
  46         Append "." to the default %load-path.
  47         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
  48         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
  49         ...))
  50         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
  51         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
  52         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
  53         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
  54         file-is-directory?
  55
  56 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  57
  58         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
  59
  60         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
  61         distribution.
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
  64         `switch-repl'.
  65
  66         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
  67
  68 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  69
  70         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
  71         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
  72
  73 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
  76
  77         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
  78
  79 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  80
  81         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
  82         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
  83         Don't set up 'error as a key.
  84         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
  85         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
  86
  87 *       (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
  88         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
  89         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
  90         they seem redundant.
  91         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
  92 *       (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
  93         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
  94         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
  95         directly files starting with "/").
  96         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
  97         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
  98
  99         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 100
 101 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 102
 103         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 104         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 105         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 106         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 107         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 108         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 109         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 110         robust to just do it in the C code.
 111
 112 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 113
 114         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 115         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 116         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 117         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 118         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 119
 120 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 121
 122         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 123         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 124         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 125
 126 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 127
 128         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 129         system-error, not every kind of error.
 130         (scm-error): new procedure.
 131
 132 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 135
 136 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 137
 138         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 139         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 140         of args are supplied.
 141         (%%system-errors): removed.
 142         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 143         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 144         %%handle-system-error.
 145         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 146         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 147         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 148         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 149
 150 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 151
 152         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 153         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 154         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 155         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 156
 157 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 158
 159         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 160         the empty list if they are #f.
 161         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 162
 163 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 164
 165         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 166
 167         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 168         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 169         aborting, just the key and subr.
 170         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 171         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 172         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 173
 174 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 177         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 178         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 179         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 180         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 181
 182 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 183
 184         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 185         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 186         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 187         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 188
 189 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 190
 191         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 192         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 193         initialize %load-path.
 194
 195         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 196         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 197
 198 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 199
 200         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 201         Add the directory named after the version number.
 202         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 203         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 204         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 205         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 206         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

 210
 211 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 212
 213         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 214         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 215         in the Makefile directly.
 216         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 217         for these.
 218         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 219         aux_files.
 220         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 221         here, where people expect to find them.

 229
 230 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 231
 232         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 233         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
 234
 235 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 236

 250         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
 251         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

 254
 255         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
 256         (manifest): Deleted.
 257         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

 266
 267 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 268
 269         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
