   2
   3         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
   4
   5         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
   6
   7         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
   8         error-catching-loop.
   9         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
  10         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
  11         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
  12
  13         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
  14         error-catching-loop.
  15
  16 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
  17
  18         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
  19         (make-module): Rework for readability.
  20         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
  21         should be '(), not #f.
  22
  23         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
  24         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
  25
  26 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  27
  28         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
  29         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
  30         error-signal.
  31
  32 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  33
  34         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
  35         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
  36         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
  37         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
  38
  39 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  40
  41         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
  42
  43 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
  44
  45         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
  46
  47         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
  48         throw-handler-default.
  49         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
  50         reported.
  51         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
  52         acro.
  53         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
  54         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
  55
  56 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  57
  58         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
  59         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
  60         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
  61         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
  62
  63 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  64
  65         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
  66         Append "." to the default %load-path.
  67         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
  68         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
  69         ...))
  70         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
  71         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
  72         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
  73         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
  74         file-is-directory?
  75
  76 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
  77
  78         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
  79
  80         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
  81         distribution.
  82
  83         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
  84         `switch-repl'.
  85
  86         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
  87
  88 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  89
  90         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
  91         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
  92
  93 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
  94
  95         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
  96
  97         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
  98
  99 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 100
 101         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 102         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 103         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 104         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 105         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 106
 107 *       (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 108         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 109         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 110         they seem redundant.
 111         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 112 *       (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 113         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 114         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 115         directly files starting with "/").
 116         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 117         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 118
 119         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 120
 121 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 122
 123         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 124         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 125         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 126         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 127         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 128         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 129         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 130         robust to just do it in the C code.
 131
 132 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 135         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 136         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 137         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 138         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 139
 140 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 141
 142         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 143         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 144         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 145
 146 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 147
 148         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 149         system-error, not every kind of error.
 150         (scm-error): new procedure.
 151
 152 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 153
 154         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 155
 156 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 159         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 160         of args are supplied.
 161         (%%system-errors): removed.
 162         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 163         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 164         %%handle-system-error.
 165         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 166         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 167         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 168         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 169
 170 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 171
 172         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 173         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 174         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 175         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 176
 177 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 178
 179         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 180         the empty list if they are #f.
 181         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 182
 183 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 184
 185         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 186
 187         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 188         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 189         aborting, just the key and subr.
 190         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 191         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 192         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 193
 194 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 195
 196         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 197         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 198         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 199         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 200         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 201
 202 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 203
 204         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 205         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 206         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 207         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 208
 209 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 210
 211         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 212         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 213         initialize %load-path.
 214
 215         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 216         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 217
 218 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 219
 220         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 221         Add the directory named after the version number.
 222         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 223         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 224         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 225         sitedatadir): New definitions.
 226         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

 230
 231 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 232
 233         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 234         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 235         in the Makefile directly.
 236         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 237         for these.
 238         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 239         aux_files.
 240         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 241         here, where people expect to find them.

 249
 250 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 251
 252         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
 253         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
 254
 255 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 256
 257         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
 258         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.

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

 273 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 274
 275         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
 276         (manifest): Deleted.
 277         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

 279
 280 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 281
 282         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
 283         now that they throw errors directly.
 284         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
 285         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
 286
 287 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 288
 289         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
