14 `search-documentation-files'.
15 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
16 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.

43 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
45 (apropos-fold): Likewise.

65 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
66 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
67 `set-current-module' call.
68 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
69 set-current-module. It is redefined later.
71 * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set

109 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
110 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
111 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

440 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
441 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
442 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
443 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
444 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
445 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
446 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
448 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
450 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
451 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
453 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
455 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
458 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
460 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
463 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
465 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
467 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
469 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
470 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
471 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
472 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
473 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

483 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
485 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
486 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
487 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
488 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
491 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
493 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
494 and open-output-pipe.
496 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
498 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
499 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
500 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
501 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
502 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
503 Pirotte for the bug report).
504 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
505 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
507 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
509 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

529 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
530 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
531 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
533 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
534 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
535 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
536 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
537 actual documentation entries themselves.
539 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

569 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
571 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
572 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never

593 2000-08-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
595 * optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.
597 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
599 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
602 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
604 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
605 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
606 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
607 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
608 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
610 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
612 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
614 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
615 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
617 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
620 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
621 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
622 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
623 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
625 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
627 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
628 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
630 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
632 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
633 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
635 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
637 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
638 definition of module-type.
640 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
642 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
644 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
646 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
647 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
649 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
651 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
653 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
655 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
656 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
657 Mikael for the suggestion.
659 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
661 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
662 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
664 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
666 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
669 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
671 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
673 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
675 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
676 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
679 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
680 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
683 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
685 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
686 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
688 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
689 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
690 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
692 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
694 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
696 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
698 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
699 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
701 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
703 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
704 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
706 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
708 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
709 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
711 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
713 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
715 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.

719 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
721 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
723 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
724 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
726 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
728 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
731 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
732 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
733 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
734 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
737 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).

741 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
743 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
744 (write-all): Removed.
745 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
746 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
748 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
750 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
753 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
754 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
755 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
756 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
757 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
758 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
759 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
762 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
764 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
766 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
768 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
769 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
770 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
773 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
775 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
776 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
777 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
778 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
779 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
780 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
781 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
783 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
785 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
786 accept complex numbers as parameter.
788 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
790 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
791 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
793 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
795 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
796 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
797 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
798 instead of remove-if when iterating.
799 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
800 delete-if! when iterating.
802 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
804 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
806 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
808 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
810 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
812 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
813 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
814 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
815 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
817 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
819 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
820 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
822 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
824 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
825 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
826 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
827 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
829 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
831 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
832 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
834 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
836 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
837 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
839 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
841 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
844 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
846 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
847 source of the numerous very short changes.
849 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
851 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
854 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
857 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
859 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
862 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
864 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
865 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
867 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
869 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
872 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
874 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
875 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
876 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
878 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
880 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
881 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
882 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
883 Narazaki for this change.
885 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
887 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
888 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
891 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
892 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
894 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
896 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
897 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
899 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
901 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
902 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
903 use define-public to export from the module.
905 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
907 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
908 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
909 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
911 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
913 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
915 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
917 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
918 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
920 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
922 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
924 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
926 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
928 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
930 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
931 long_long uniform vectors.
933 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
935 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
936 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
938 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
940 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
941 script to create generated files like this one.
943 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
945 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
946 available before using getpw and getuid.
947 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
948 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
950 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
951 check for .guile, instead of stat.
952 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
954 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
955 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
956 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
958 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
959 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
961 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
963 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
965 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
968 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
969 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
971 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
973 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
975 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
976 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
977 ("position"): New command.
978 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
979 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
980 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
981 to return a valid state.)
982 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
984 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
986 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
987 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
990 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
992 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
993 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
995 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
997 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
999 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1001 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1002 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1004 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1005 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1006 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1008 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1011 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1013 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1014 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1016 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1018 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1020 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1021 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1022 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1023 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1025 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1028 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1029 both forward and backward views of the stack
1030 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1031 Use selector `frame-number';
1032 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1033 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1035 Use readline conditionally.
1037 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1039 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1040 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1041 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1043 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1044 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1047 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1049 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1051 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1053 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1055 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1057 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1059 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1060 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1061 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1062 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1063 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1064 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1065 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1066 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1067 libguile-config-stamp.
1068 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1069 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1070 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1071 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1072 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1074 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1076 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1077 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1078 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1080 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1081 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1082 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1083 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1086 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1088 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1090 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1092 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1094 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1095 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1097 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1099 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1100 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1101 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1102 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1103 objects starting with '#/'.
1105 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1107 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1108 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1109 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1110 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1111 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1112 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1114 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1115 module-modified): New procedures.
1116 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1117 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1119 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1121 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1124 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1126 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1127 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1128 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1130 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1133 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1135 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1136 at multiple calls to read.
1137 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1138 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1139 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1140 continued-lines prompt.
1142 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1143 reading expressions.
1145 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1147 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1148 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1150 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1152 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1153 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1156 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1158 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1159 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1161 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1162 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1163 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1164 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1165 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1168 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1170 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1171 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1173 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1175 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1176 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1177 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1178 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1180 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1182 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1184 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1185 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1186 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1189 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1191 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1192 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1193 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1194 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1195 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1196 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1197 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1198 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1199 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1200 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1201 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1203 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1205 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1206 peeked from the stream.
1207 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1208 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1209 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1211 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1213 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1214 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1216 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1218 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1219 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1220 exiting repl with single control-D.
1222 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1224 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1225 error catching loop after quit received.
1226 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1228 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1229 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1230 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1232 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1233 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1235 * popen.scm: new file.
1237 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1239 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1240 (reverse-iota): removed.
1242 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1244 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1245 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1247 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1249 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1250 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1251 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1252 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1253 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1255 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1257 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1259 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1260 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1262 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1263 Guile's module system.
1265 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1267 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1268 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1269 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1270 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1271 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1272 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1274 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1275 '() when the condition is false.
1277 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1279 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1281 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1283 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1285 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1287 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1288 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1289 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1291 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1293 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1294 argument order for hash-fold.
1296 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1298 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1300 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1301 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1303 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1304 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1305 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1306 has been added to the load path).
1308 Use try-load-module.
1310 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1312 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1313 module between system and user state.
1315 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1317 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1319 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1322 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1324 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1325 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1326 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1328 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1330 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1331 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1332 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1333 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1334 stack frame encountered.
1336 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1337 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1338 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1339 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1342 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1343 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1344 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1345 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1348 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1349 define-module switches:
1351 (define-module (foo)
1354 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1357 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1358 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1359 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1360 module it is a system frame.
1362 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1363 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1364 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1365 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1366 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1368 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1369 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1370 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1371 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1372 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1373 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1375 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1376 status of a module.;
1377 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1378 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1380 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1381 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1382 closure to the module.
1384 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1386 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1388 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1390 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1392 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1394 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1396 Fix from Russ McManus:
1397 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1398 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1399 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1400 either an optional or required value.
1402 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1404 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1406 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1407 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1409 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1410 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1411 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1412 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1414 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1416 * optargs.scm: New file.
1417 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1418 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1420 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1422 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1423 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1424 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1426 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1428 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1429 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1432 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1434 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1436 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1438 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1439 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1440 applied to the module itself.
1442 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1444 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1446 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1447 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1449 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1451 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1453 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1455 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1457 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1459 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1460 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1462 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1464 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1465 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1466 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1467 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1468 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1469 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1470 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1472 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1474 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1475 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1477 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1479 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1480 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1483 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1485 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1487 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1489 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1491 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1493 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1494 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1495 adapt to the new hooks.
1497 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1499 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1500 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1501 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1503 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1504 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1506 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1507 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1508 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1509 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1510 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1511 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1512 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1513 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1514 first to register linked modules.
1516 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1517 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1518 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1520 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1521 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1522 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1523 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1525 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1527 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1530 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1531 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1532 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1534 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1536 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1537 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1538 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1540 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1542 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1543 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1544 result of the last form.
1546 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1548 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1551 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1553 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1554 readline-set!: New options interface.
1556 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1558 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1560 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1561 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1563 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1565 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1566 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1568 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1570 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1571 interactive session.
1572 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1574 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1575 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1577 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1579 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1581 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1583 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1584 read line was empty.
1586 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1588 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1589 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1591 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1593 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1595 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1596 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1597 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1599 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1600 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1602 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1603 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1604 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1606 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1607 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1608 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
1609 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1610 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1611 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1613 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1615 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1616 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1618 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1620 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1621 and short vectors #h(...).
1623 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1625 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1626 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1627 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1629 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1631 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1632 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
1633 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1635 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1637 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1638 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1640 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1641 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
1642 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
1643 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1645 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1647 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1650 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1651 order to allow the empty list as arg.
1652 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1653 context with traps enabled.
1655 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1657 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1659 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1661 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1663 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1664 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1665 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1666 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1667 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1669 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1671 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1672 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1674 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1676 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1678 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1680 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1682 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1684 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1686 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1688 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1689 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1691 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1693 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1694 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1695 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1696 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1699 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1700 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1701 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1703 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1705 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1706 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1707 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1708 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1709 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1710 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1711 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1713 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1715 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1717 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1719 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1720 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1721 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1722 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1723 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1724 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1726 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1728 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1729 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1730 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1733 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1735 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1737 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1739 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1741 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1743 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1746 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1748 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1750 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1752 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1753 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1755 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1757 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1758 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1759 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1760 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1762 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1763 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1765 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1767 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1769 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1771 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1772 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1775 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1776 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1778 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1779 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1780 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1782 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1784 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1786 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1788 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1789 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1791 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1793 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1795 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1797 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1798 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1800 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1802 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1805 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1807 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1808 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1810 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1812 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1814 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1816 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1819 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1821 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1822 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1823 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1824 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1825 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1828 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1830 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1831 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1832 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1834 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1836 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1838 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1839 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1841 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1843 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1844 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1845 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1846 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1847 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1848 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1849 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1852 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1854 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1857 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1859 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1860 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1861 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1862 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1863 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1864 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1866 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1868 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1869 usefully so they will work from a script.
1871 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1873 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1874 neighborhood of the record code.
1876 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1878 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1879 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1880 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1881 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1883 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1885 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1886 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1887 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1889 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1891 Add support for readline function.
1892 * readline.scm: New module.
1893 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1894 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1895 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1897 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1898 repl-reader to use them.
1899 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1901 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1903 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1905 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1906 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1908 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1910 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1911 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1912 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1914 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1916 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1917 #f, abort terminates the process.
1918 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1919 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1921 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1923 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1924 print-state, throw it away.
1926 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1928 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1931 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1933 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1934 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1935 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1936 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1938 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1939 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1941 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1943 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1945 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1947 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1948 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1949 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1950 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1951 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1953 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1954 distribution and installation.
1955 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1957 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1959 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1961 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1963 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1964 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1965 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1967 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1968 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1971 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1973 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1975 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1977 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1979 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1980 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1981 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1982 field a separate argument.
1984 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1986 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1988 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1990 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1994 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1996 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1998 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2000 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2001 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2002 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2003 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2004 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2005 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2007 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2008 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2009 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2010 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2011 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2014 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2016 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2018 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2020 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2021 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2023 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2025 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2027 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2028 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2029 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2030 expansion inside the slib module.
2032 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2034 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2035 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2036 (let): New core form.
2037 (if): Removed from core language.
2038 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2039 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2040 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2042 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2043 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2044 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2046 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2047 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2050 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2052 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2053 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2055 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2057 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2058 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2059 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2060 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2061 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2062 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2063 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2064 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2066 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2068 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2070 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2072 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2073 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2074 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2075 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2076 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2078 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2079 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2080 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2082 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2083 the syncase interface.
2085 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2087 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2088 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2089 workings of the current module system).
2091 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2093 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2094 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2097 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2099 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2100 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2101 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2103 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2105 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2106 according to the following priorities:
2107 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2108 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2110 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2111 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2112 (new-interpreter): New function.
2114 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2115 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2116 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2118 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2120 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2122 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2124 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2126 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2128 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2130 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2132 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2134 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2135 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2138 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2140 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2141 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2142 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2143 symbols matching regexp.
2145 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2146 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2149 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2150 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2151 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2152 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2153 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2155 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2156 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2158 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2160 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
2161 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
2163 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2164 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
2166 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
2168 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2170 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2171 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2172 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2174 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2176 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2177 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2178 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2180 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

2185 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2187 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2190 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2192 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2193 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2194 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2196 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2197 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2200 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2201 order to narrow it correctly.
2202 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2204 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2206 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2207 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2209 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2211 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2213 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2215 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2216 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2218 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2220 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2221 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2222 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2224 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2226 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
2229 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2231 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2232 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2233 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2234 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2235 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2237 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2239 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2240 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2243 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2245 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2247 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2248 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2249 notation, instead of #/ notation.
2251 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2254 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2256 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2257 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2258 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2259 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2260 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2261 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2263 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2264 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2265 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2266 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2268 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2270 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2271 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2272 sending in bug reports.
2273 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2274 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2275 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2276 display a warning if the two are different.
2277 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2278 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2279 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2281 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2283 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2285 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2287 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2288 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2290 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2291 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2292 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2293 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2294 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2295 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2298 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2299 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2302 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2303 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2305 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2308 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2311 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2313 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2316 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2318 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2319 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2321 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2323 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2324 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2325 to support printing of structures.
2326 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2327 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2328 commented out printing code.
2329 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2330 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2332 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2334 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2336 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2338 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2339 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2340 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2341 during call to scm-style-repl.
2343 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2345 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2346 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2347 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2348 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2349 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2351 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2353 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2354 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2357 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2359 * regex.scm: New file.
2360 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2361 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2363 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2365 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2366 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2367 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2368 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2370 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2372 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2375 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2377 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2378 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2379 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2381 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2383 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2384 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2387 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2389 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2391 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2393 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2395 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2397 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2398 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2401 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2403 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2404 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2405 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2407 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2409 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2410 the Scheme code like code yet.
2411 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2413 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2415 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2416 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2417 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2419 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2421 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2423 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2426 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2428 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2430 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2432 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2434 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2435 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2436 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2438 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2440 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2441 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2442 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2444 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2446 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2447 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2449 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2451 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2454 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2460 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2461 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2463 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2465 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2466 instead of in libguile.
2467 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2468 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2470 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2472 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2474 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2475 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2477 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2479 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2480 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2482 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2484 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2485 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2486 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2487 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2489 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2491 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2492 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2494 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2496 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2498 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2500 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2501 keywords and symbols.
2503 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2505 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2507 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2508 Don't define read-sharp.
2510 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2511 (read-sharp): removed.
2512 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2513 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2515 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2517 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2519 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2520 primitive procedure.)
2522 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2523 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2525 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2527 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2529 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2531 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2533 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2535 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2537 * (exit): alias for quit.
2539 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2541 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2542 return the quit args.
2543 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2544 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2545 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2547 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2549 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2551 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2553 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2554 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2556 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2557 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2559 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2560 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2563 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2565 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2567 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2568 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2569 Change hooks to use these functions.
2571 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2572 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2573 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2575 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2576 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2577 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2578 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2579 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2580 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2581 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2584 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2585 and exit-frame exceptions.
2587 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2588 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2589 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2590 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2591 result; otherwise display "> ".
2592 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2594 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2595 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2596 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
2597 repository version runnable.
2599 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2601 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2602 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
2603 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2604 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2605 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2606 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2608 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2610 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2611 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2613 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2615 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2616 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
2618 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2620 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2622 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2624 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2627 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2629 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2630 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2632 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2634 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
2637 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2639 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2640 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2642 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2644 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2646 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2647 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2648 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2649 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2650 dynamic linking of modules.
2651 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2652 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2654 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2656 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2658 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2660 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2663 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2664 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2667 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2669 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2670 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2671 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2673 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2675 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2676 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2679 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2681 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2682 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2683 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2685 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2687 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2688 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2689 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2690 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2692 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2693 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2694 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2695 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2696 (such as the-scm-module).
2698 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2700 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2703 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2705 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2706 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2707 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2709 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2711 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2712 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2713 function, use it accordingly.
2715 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2717 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2718 function of no arguments.
2719 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2720 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2721 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2722 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2723 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2724 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2725 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2726 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2728 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2730 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2731 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2733 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2735 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2736 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2737 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2738 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2739 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2741 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2744 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2745 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2746 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2747 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2749 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2751 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2753 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2754 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2755 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2757 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2760 Added `before-read-hook'.
2762 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2764 (provide): New function.
2766 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2769 (backtrace): New function.
2771 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2772 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2773 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2774 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2775 is found in operator position in a frame.
2777 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2780 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2781 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2782 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2784 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2786 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2788 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2790 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2792 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2794 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2796 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2797 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2799 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2800 so they'll get distributed.
2802 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2803 should see as little clutter as possible.
2804 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2805 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2806 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2808 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2809 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2810 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2811 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2812 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2813 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2814 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2815 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2816 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2817 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2819 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2820 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2822 * test.scm: New file.
2824 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2825 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2826 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2828 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2829 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2831 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2833 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2834 call %load-announce.
2836 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2838 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2839 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2840 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2842 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2844 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2846 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2847 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2848 SCSH (which this isn't).
2850 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2852 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2854 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2856 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2857 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2858 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2860 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2861 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2862 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2863 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2866 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2868 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2870 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2872 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2873 error-catching-loop.
2874 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2875 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2876 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2878 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2879 error-catching-loop.
2881 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2883 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2884 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2885 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2886 should be '(), not #f.
2888 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2889 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2891 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2893 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2894 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2897 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2899 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2900 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2901 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2902 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2904 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2906 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2908 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2910 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2912 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2913 throw-handler-default.
2914 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2916 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2918 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2919 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2921 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2923 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2924 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2925 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2926 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2928 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2930 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2931 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2932 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2933 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2935 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2936 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2937 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2938 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2941 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2943 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2945 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2948 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2951 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2953 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2955 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2956 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2958 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2960 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2962 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2964 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2966 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2967 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2968 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2969 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2970 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2972 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2973 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2974 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2975 they seem redundant.
2976 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2977 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2978 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2979 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2980 directly files starting with "/").
2981 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2982 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2984 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2986 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2988 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2989 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2990 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2991 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2992 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2993 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2994 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2995 robust to just do it in the C code.
2997 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2999 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3000 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3001 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3002 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3003 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3005 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3007 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3008 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3009 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3011 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3013 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3014 system-error, not every kind of error.
3015 (scm-error): new procedure.
3017 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3019 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3021 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3023 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3024 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3025 of args are supplied.
3026 (%%system-errors): removed.
3027 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3028 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3029 %%handle-system-error.
3030 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3031 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3032 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3033 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3035 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3037 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3038 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3039 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3040 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3042 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3044 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3045 the empty list if they are #f.
3046 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3048 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3050 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3052 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3053 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3054 aborting, just the key and subr.
3055 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3056 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3057 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3059 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3061 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3062 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3063 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3064 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3065 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3067 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3069 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3070 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3071 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3072 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3074 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3076 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3077 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3078 initialize %load-path.
3080 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3081 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3083 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3085 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3086 Add the directory named after the version number.
3087 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3088 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3089 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3090 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3091 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3092 (install): Create the above directories.
3093 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3094 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3096 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3098 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3099 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3100 in the Makefile directly.
3101 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3103 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3105 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3106 here, where people expect to find them.
3108 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3110 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3111 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3113 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3115 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3117 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3118 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3120 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3122 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3123 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3125 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3126 weak-key-hash-table.
3128 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3130 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3131 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3132 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3133 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3134 (%open-file): removed.
3135 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3136 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3138 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3140 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3141 (manifest): Deleted.
3142 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3143 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3145 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3147 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3148 now that they throw errors directly.
3149 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3150 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3152 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3154 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3156 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3158 * The more things change...
