   1 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
   4         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
   5         and eval.
   6         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
   7         "defined?".
   8         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
   9         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
  10
  11 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  12
  13         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
  14
  15 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
  18         %read-sharp layer.
  19
  20 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
  23         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
  24
  25 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  26
  27         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
  28         backtrace.c.)
  29
  30 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  31
  32         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
  33         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
  34
  35 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  36
  37         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
  38
  39         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
  40         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
  41         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
  42         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
  43         dynamic linking of modules.
  44         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
  45         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
  46
  47 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  48
  49         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
  50
  51 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  52
  53         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
  54         that's what it is.
  55
  56         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
  57         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
  58         was false.
  59
  60 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  61
  62 *       * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
  63         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
  64         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
  65
  66 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
  69         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
  70         yet.
  71
  72 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  73
  74         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
  75         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
  76         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
  77
  78 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  79
  80         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
  81         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
  82         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
  83         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
  84
  85         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
  86         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
  87         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
  88         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
  89         (such as the-scm-module).
  90
  91 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  92
  93         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
  94         %search-load-path.
  95
  96 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
  97
  98         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
  99         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 100         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 101
 102 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 103
 104         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 105         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 106         function, use it accordingly.
 107
 108 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 109
 110         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 111         function of no arguments.
 112         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 113         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 114         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 115         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 116         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 117         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 118         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 119         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 120
 121 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 122
 123         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 124         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 125
 126 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 127
 128         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 129         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 130         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 131         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 132         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 133
 134         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 135         `*features*'.
 136
 137         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 138         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 139         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 140         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 141
 142         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 143
 144         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 145
 146         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 147         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 148         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 149
 150         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 151         error.
 152
 153         Added `before-read-hook'.
 154
 155         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 156
 157         (provide): New function.
 158
 159         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 160         in backtraces.
 161
 162         (backtrace): New function.
 163
 164         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 165         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 166         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 167         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 168         is found in operator position in a frame.
 169
 170         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 171         by default.
 172
 173         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 174         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 175         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 176
 177         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 178
 179         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 180
 181         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 182
 183         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 184
 185 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 188
 189         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 190         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 191
 192         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 193         so they'll get distributed.
 194
 195         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 196         should see as little clutter as possible.
 197         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 198         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 199         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 200
 201         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 202         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 203         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 204         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 205         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 206         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 207         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 208         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 209         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 210         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 211         that are not.
 212         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 213         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 214
 215         * test.scm: New file.
 216
 217         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 218         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 219         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 220
 221         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 222         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 223
 224         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 225         work now.
 226         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 227         call %load-announce.
 228
 229 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 230
 231         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 232         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 233         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 234         components.
 235         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 236
 237 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 238
 239         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 240         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 241         SCSH (which this isn't).
 242
 243 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 244
 245         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 246
 247 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 248
 249         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 250         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 251         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 252         these.
 253         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 254         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 255         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 256         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 257         save-stack.
 258
 259 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 260
 261         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 262
 263         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 264
 265         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 266         error-catching-loop.
 267         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 268         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 269         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 270
 271         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 272         error-catching-loop.
 273
 274 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 275
 276         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 277         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 278         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 279         should be '(), not #f.
 280
 281         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 282         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 283
 284 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 285
 286         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 287         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 288         error-signal.
 289
 290 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 291
 292         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 293         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 294         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 295         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 296
 297 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 298
 299         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 300
 301 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 302
 303         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 304
 305         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
 306         throw-handler-default.
 307         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 308         reported.
 309         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
 310         acro.
 311         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
 312         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
 313
 314 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 315
 316         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 317         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 318         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 319         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 320
 321 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 322
 323         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
 324         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 325         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 326         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 327         ...))
 328         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 329         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 330         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
 331         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
 332         file-is-directory?
 333
 334 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 335
 336         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 337
 338         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 339         distribution.
 340
 341         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 342         `switch-repl'.
 343
 344         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 345
 346 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 347
 348         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 349         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 350
 351 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 352
 353         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 354
 355         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 356
 357 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 358
 359         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 360         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 361         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 362         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 363         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 364
 365         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 366         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 367         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 368         they seem redundant.
 369         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 370         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 371         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 372         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 373         directly files starting with "/").
 374         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 375         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 376
 377         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

 380
 381         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 382         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 383         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 384         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 385         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 386         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 387         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 388         robust to just do it in the C code.

 392         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 393         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 394         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 395         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 396         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

 402         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).

 418         of args are supplied.
 419         (%%system-errors): removed.
 420         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 421         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 422         %%handle-system-error.
 423         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 424         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 425         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 426         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.

 428 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 429
 430         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 431         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 432         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 433         %S (embed an argument using "write").

 444
 445         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 446         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 447         aborting, just the key and subr.
 448         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 449         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 450         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

 453
 454         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 455         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 456         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 457         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 458         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

 472
 473         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 474         "/", use one to separate it from the file.

 477
 478         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 479         Add the directory named after the version number.
 480         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.

 491         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 492         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 493         in the Makefile directly.
 494         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 495         for these.
