 205
 206         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 207         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 208         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 209         frame is invoked.
 210
 211 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

 227         (eval-when): New macro.

 252
 253         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser

 261         (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
 262         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
 263         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
 264
 265 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 266
 267         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 268         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 269
 270         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 271         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 272
 273         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 274         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 275
 276 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 279         in C for now.
 280         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 281         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 282
 283 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 284
 285         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 286         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 287         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 288         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 289         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 290         for now.
 291         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 292         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
 293
 294 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 297         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 298         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 299         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 300         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 301         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 302         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 303

 305
 306         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only

 308
 309 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 310
 311         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 312         any more.
 313
 314 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 315
 316         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 317         the-root-module.
 318
 319 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 320

 322
 323 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 324
 325         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 326         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 327         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 328         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
 329         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
 330         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
 331         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 332         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
 333         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
 334         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
 335         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
 336         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
 337         make-shared-substring.
 338
 339 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 340
 341         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 342         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 343         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 344         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 345         scm-style-repl.
 346
 347 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 348
 349         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 350         and open-output-pipe.
 351
 352 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 353
 354         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 355         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 356         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 357         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 358         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 359         Pirotte for the bug report).
 360         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 361         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 362
 363 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 364
 365         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

 371
 372 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 373
 374         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 375         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 376         patch.
 377
 378 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 379

 382
 383 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 384
 385         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 386         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 387         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 388
 389         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 390         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 391         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 392         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 393         actual documentation entries themselves.
 394
 395 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 396
 397         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
 398
 399 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 400
 401         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 402
 403 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 404
 405         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
 406         Convert first argument to a string.
 407
 408         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 409         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 410         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 411         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 412
 413         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 414
 415         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
 416
 417 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 418
 419         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
 420
 421 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 422
 423         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 424         `symbol-append'.
 425         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 426         args.
 427         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 428         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 429         even worked...  /mdj.
 430         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 431         `symbol->string'.
 432         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 433         semantics.
 434
 435 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 436
 437         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 438         form set!.
 439
 440 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 441
 442         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 443         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 444
 445 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 446
 447         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
 448
 449 2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 456         Matthias Köppe.)
 457
 458 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 459
 460         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 461         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 462         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 463         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 464         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 465
 466         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 467
 468 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 469
 470         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 471         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 472
 473         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 474         syntactic bindings.
 475
 476         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 477         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 478         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 479         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 480
 481         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 482
 483         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 484         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 485
 486         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 487
 488         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 489         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 490
 491 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 492
 493         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 494         definition of module-type.
 495
 496         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 497
 498         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 501         lines.
 502         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 503         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 504
 505 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 506
 507         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 508
 509 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 510
 511         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 512         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 513         Mikael for the suggestion.
 514
 515 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 516
 517         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 518         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 519
 520 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 521
 522         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 523         for export args.
 524
 525 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 526
 527         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 528
 529 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 530
 531         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 532         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 533         for the hint.
 534
 535         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 536         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 537         tail recursive yet.
 538
 539 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 540
 541         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 542         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 543
 544         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 545         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 546         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 547         See NEWS.
 548         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 549
 550         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 551
 552 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 553
 554         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 555         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 556
 557 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 558
 559         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 560         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 561
 562 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 563
 564         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 565         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 566
 567 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 568
 569         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 570
 571         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 572
 573         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 574
 575 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 576
 577         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 578         '() instead of #f.
 579         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 580         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 581         `the-root-module'.
 582         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 583
 584         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 585         documentation.scm.
 586
 587         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 588         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 589         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 590         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 591         (help): Rewritten.
 592
 593         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 594
 595         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 596
 597 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 598
 599         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 600         (write-all): Removed.
 601         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 602         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 603
 604 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 605
 606         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 607         `proc-documentation'
 608
 609         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 610         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 611         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 612         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 613         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 614         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 615         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 616         getter...)
 617
 618 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 619
 620         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 621
 622 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 623
 624         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 625         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 626         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 627         closure.
 628
 629 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 632         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 633         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 634         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 635         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 636         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 637         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 638
 639 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 640
 641         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 642         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 643
 644 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 645
 646         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 647         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 648
 649 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 650
 651         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 652         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 653         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 654         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 655         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 656         delete-if! when iterating.
 657
 658 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 659
 660         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 661
 662 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 663
 664         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 665
 666 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 667
 668         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 669         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 670         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 671         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 672
 673 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 674
 675         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 676         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 677
 678 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 679
 680         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 681         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 682         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 683         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 684
 685 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 686
 687         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 688         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 689
 690 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 691
 692         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 693         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 694
 695 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 696
 697         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 698         Dirk Hermann!
 699
 700 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 701
 702         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 703         source of the numerous very short changes.
 704
 705 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 706
 707         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 708         public.
 709
 710         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 711         info pages.
 712
 713 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 714
 715         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 716         from slib docs.
 717
 718 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 719
 720         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 721         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 722
 723 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 724
 725         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 726         to string-append.
 727
 728 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 729
 730         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 731         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 732         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 733
 734 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 735
 736         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 737         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 738         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 739         Narazaki for this change.
 740
 741 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 742
 743         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 744         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 745         %S.
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 748         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 749
 750 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 751
 752         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 753         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 754
 755 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 756
 757         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 758         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 759         use define-public to export from the module.
 760
 761 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 762
 763         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 764         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before

 795
 796         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 797         script to create generated files like this one.
 798

 809         available.
 810         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 811         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 812         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 813
 814         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

 818

 844         Badros.)
 845
 846 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 847
 848         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 849         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 850

 852
 853         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 868
 869         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

 873
 874 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 875
 876         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 877         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.

 880
 881         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 882         argument.
 883
 884         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 885         both forward and backward views of the stack
 886         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 887         Use selector `frame-number';

 892
 893 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 894
 895         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 896         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 897         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 898
 899         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 900         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 901         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 902
 903 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 904
 905         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 908
 909         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 910
 911         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 912
 913 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 914
 915         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 916         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 917         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 918         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 919         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 920         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 921         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 922         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 923         libguile-config-stamp.
 924         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 925         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 926         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 927         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 928         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 929
 930 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 931
 932         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 933         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 934         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 935
 936         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 937         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 938         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 939         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 940         readline.
 941
 942         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 943
 944 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 945
 946         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 947
 948 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 949
 950         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 951         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 952
 953 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 954
 955         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 956         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 957         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 958         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 959         objects starting with '#/'.
 960
 961 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 962
 963         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 964         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 965         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 966         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 967         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 968         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 969         `observer-id'.
 970         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 971         module-modified): New procedures.
 972         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 973         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 974
 975 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 976
 977         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 978         defines.
 979
 980 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 981
 982         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 983         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 984         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 987         position.
 988
 989 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 990
 991         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 992         at multiple calls to read.
 993         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 994         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 995         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 996         continued-lines prompt.
 997
 998         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 999         reading expressions.

1001 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1002
1003         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1004         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1005
1006 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1007
1008         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1009         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1010         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1011
1012         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1013
1014         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1015         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1016
1017         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1018         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1019         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1020         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1021         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1022         instead of a port.
1023
1024 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1025
1026         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1027         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1028
1029         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1030
1031         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1032         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1033         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1034         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1035
1036         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1037
1038         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1039
1040         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1041         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1042         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1043         an alist.
1044
1045         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1046
1047         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1048         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1049         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1050         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1051         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1052         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1053         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1054         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1055         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1056         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1057         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1058
1059         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1060
1061         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1062         peeked from the stream.
1063         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1064         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1065         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1066
1067         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1070         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1071
1072         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1075         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1076         exiting repl with single control-D.
1077
1078         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1079
1080         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1081         error catching loop after quit received.
1082         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1083
1084         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1085         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1086         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1087
1088         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1089         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1090         boot-9.scm.
1091         * popen.scm: new file.
1092
1093 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1094
1095        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1096        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1097
1098 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1099
1100         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1101         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1102
1103 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1104
1105         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1106         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1107         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1108         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1109         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1110
1111 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1112
1113         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1114
1115         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1116         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1117
1118         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1119         Guile's module system.
1120
1121         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1122         changes:
1123         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1124         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1125         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1126         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1127         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1128         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1129         modern CL behavior.
1130         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1131         '() when the condition is false.

1133 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1134
1135         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1136
1137 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1138
1139         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1140
1141 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1144         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1145         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1146
1147 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1148
1149         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1150         argument order for hash-fold.
1151
1152 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1155         resolve-module.
1156         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1157         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1158
1159         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1160         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1161         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1162         has been added to the load path).
1163
1164         Use try-load-module.
1165
1166 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1167
1168         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1169         module between system and user state.
1170
1171 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1172
1173         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1174
1175         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1176         definition.
1177
1178 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1179
1180         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1181         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1182         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1183
1184 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1185
1186         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1187         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1188         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1189         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1190         stack frame encountered.
1191
1192         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1193         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1194         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1195         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1196         list).]
1197
1198         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1199         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1200         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1201         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1202         please tell me!]
1203
1204         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1205         define-module switches:
1206
1207         (define-module (foo)
1208           :no-backtrace)
1209
1210         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1211         modules.
1212
1213         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1214         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1215         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1216         module it is a system frame.
1217
1218         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1219         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1220         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1221         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1222         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1223
1224         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1225         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1226         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1227         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1228         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1229         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1230
1231         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1232         status of a module.;
1233         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1234         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1235
1236         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1237         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1238         closure to the module.
1239
1240         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.

1249
1250 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1251
1252         Fix from Russ McManus:
1253         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1254         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1255         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1256         either an optional or required value.
1257
1258 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1259
1260         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1261
1262         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1263         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1264
1265         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1266         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1267         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1268         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1269
1270 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1271
1272         * optargs.scm: New file.
1273         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1274         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1275
1276 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1277
1278         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1279         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1280         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1281
1282 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1283
1284         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1285         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1286         for isn't loaded.
1287
1288 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1289

1292 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1295         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1296         applied to the module itself.
1297
1298 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1299
1300         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1301
1302         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1303         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1304
1305 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1306
1307         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1309 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1310
1311         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1312
1313 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1314
1315         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1316         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1317
1318 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1319
1320         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1321         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1322         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1323         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1324         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1325         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1326         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1327
1328 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1329
1330         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1331         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1332
1333 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1334
1335         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1336         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1337         static libraries.
1338
1339 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1340
1341         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1342
1343 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1344
1345         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1346
1347 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1348
1349         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1350         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1351         adapt to the new hooks.
1352
1353 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1354
1355         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1356         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1357         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1358         code.
1359         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1360         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1363         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1364         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1365         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1366         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1367         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1368         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1369         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1370         first to register linked modules.
1371
1372         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1373         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1374         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1375
1376         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1377         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1378         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1379         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1380
1381         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1382         to use from C:
1383         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1384         libguile/feature.c.
1385
1386         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1387         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1388         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1389
1390 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1393         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1394         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1395
1396 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1399         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1400         result of the last form.
1401
1402 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1403
1404         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1405         syncase.scm.
1406
1407         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1408
1409         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1410         readline-set!: New options interface.
1411
1412         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1413
1414 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1415
1416         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1417         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1418
1419 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1420
1421         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1422         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1423
1424 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1425
1426         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1427         interactive session.
1428         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1429
1430         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1431         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1432
1433 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1434
1435         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1436
1437 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1438
1439         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1440         read line was empty.
1441
1442 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1443
1444         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1445         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1446
1447         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1448
1449         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1450         problem.  Duh.
1451         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1452         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1453         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1456         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1457         into...
1458         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1459         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1460         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1461
1462         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1463         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1464         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1465         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1466         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1467         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1468         psyntax.ss.
1469         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1470
1471         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1472         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1473
1474 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1475
1476         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1477         and short vectors #h(...).
1478
1479 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1480
1481         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1482         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1483         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)

1487         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1488         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1489         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1490
1491 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1492
1493         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1494         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1495
1496         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1497         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1498         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1499         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1500
1501 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1502
1503         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1504         trace flag.
1505
1506         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1507         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1508         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1509         context with traps enabled.
1510
1511 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1512
1513         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1514         module.
1515         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1516
1517 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1520         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1521         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1522         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1523         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1524
1525 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1526
1527         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1528         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1529
1530 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1531
1532         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1533
1534 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1535
1536         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1537
1538 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1539
1540         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1541
1542 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1543
1544         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1545         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1546
1547 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1548
1549         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1550         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1551         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1552         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1553         Archibald.)
1554
1555         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1556         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1557         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1558
1559 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1560
1561         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1562         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1563         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1564         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1565         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1566         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1567         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1568
1569 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1570
1571         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1572
1573 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1574
1575         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1576         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1577         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1578         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1579         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1580         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1581
1582 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1583
1584         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1585         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1586         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1587         Steven G. Johnson.)
1588
1589 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1590
1591         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1592
1593 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1594
1595         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1596
1597 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1598
1599         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1600         be completed.
1601
1602 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1603
1604         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1605
1606 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1607
1608         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1609         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1610
1611 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1612
1613         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1614         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1615         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1616         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1617         transformer.
1618         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1619         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1620
1621 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1622
1623         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1624
1625 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1626
1627         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1628         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1629         completion.
1630
1631         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1632         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1633
1634         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1635         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1636         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1637
1638         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1639
1640 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1641
1642         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1643
1644         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1645         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1646
1647 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1650
1651 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1652
1653         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1654         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1655
1656         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1657
1658         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1659         obsolete.
1660
1661 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1662
1663         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1664         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1665
1666 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1667
1668         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1669
1670 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1671
1672         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1673         Stachowiak.)
1674
1675 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1676
1677         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1678         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1679         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1680         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1681         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1682         threads.
1683
1684 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1685
1686         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1687         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1688         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1689
1690 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1691
1692         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1693
1694         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1695         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1696
1697 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1698
1699         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1700         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1701         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1702         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1703         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1704         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1705         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1706         to go here.
1707
1708 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1709
1710         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1711         is now a fluid.
1712
1713 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1714
1715         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1716         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1717         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1718         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1719         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1720         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1721
1722 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1723
1724         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1725         usefully so they will work from a script.
1726
1727 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1728
1729         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1730         neighborhood of the record code.
1731
1732 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1733
1734         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1735         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1736         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1737         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1738
1739 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1740
1741         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1742         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1743         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1744
1745 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1746
1747         Add support for readline function.
1748         * readline.scm: New module.
1749         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1750         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1751         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1752         anything.
1753         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1754         repl-reader to use them.
1755         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1756
1757         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1758
1759 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1760
1761         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1762         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1763
1764 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1765
1766         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1767         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1768         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1769
1770 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1771
1772         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1773         #f, abort terminates the process.
1774         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1775         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1776
1777 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1778
1779         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1780         print-state, throw it away.
1781
1782 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1783
1784         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1785         `0'.
1786
1787 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1788
1789         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1790         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1791         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1792         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1793         user field).
1794         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1795         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1796
1797 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1798
1799         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1800
1801 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1802
1803         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1804         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1805         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1806         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1807         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1808         boot-9.scm.
1809         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1810         distribution and installation.
1811         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1812
1813 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1814
1815         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1816
1817 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1818
1819         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1820         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1821         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1822
1823         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1824         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1825         symbol.
1826
1827 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1828
1829         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1830
1831         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1832
1833 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1836         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1837         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1838         field a separate argument.
1839

1845
1846         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1855
1856         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1857         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1858         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1859         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1860         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1861         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1862         registered.
1863         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1864         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1865         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1866         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1867         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

1880
1881         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1882
1883         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1884         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1885         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1886         expansion inside the slib module.
1887
1888         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1896         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1897
1898         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1899         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1900         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1901         source.
1902         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1903         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1904         been loaded.
1905
1906 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1915         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1916         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1917         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

1919         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1920         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1921         module.
1922         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1923
1924 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1925
1926         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1927
1928         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1929         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1930         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1931         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1932         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

1935         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

1937         syncase macros.
1938         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1939         the syncase interface.
1940
1941 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1942
1943         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1944         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1945         workings of the current module system).
1946
1947 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1948
1949         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

1960
1961         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1962         according to the following priorities:
1963         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1964         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1965         3. tcl bindings
1966         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1967         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1968         (new-interpreter): New function.
1969
1970         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1971         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1972         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1989
1990         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1991         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1992         source!
1993

2002         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2003         in stack-ref).
2004
2005         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2006         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2007         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2008         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2009         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2010         result protocol;

2025
2026         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2027         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2028         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2029
2030         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2031
2032         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2033         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

2047
2048         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2049         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2050         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2051
2052         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2053         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2054         the top.
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2057         order to narrow it correctly.

2067         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

2070
2071         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2072         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2073
2074 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2075
2076         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2077         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2078         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2079
2080 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2092
2093 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2094
2095         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2096         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2097         a default of /.
2098
2099         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2100

2104         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

2113         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2114         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2115         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2116         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2117         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2120         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2121         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2122         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2123
2124 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2125
2126         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2127         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2128         sending in bug reports.
2129         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2130         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2131         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2132         display a warning if the two are different.
2133         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2134         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2135         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2136
2137 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2144         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2145
2146         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2147         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2148         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2149         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2150         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2151         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2152         that's okay.
2153
2154         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2155         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2156         regexp interface.
2157
2158         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2159         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2160
2161         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2162         function names.
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2165         fixes.
2166

2168
2169         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2170         ../configure.in.
2171
2172 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2175         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2176
2177 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2178
2179         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2180         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2181         to support printing of structures.
2182         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2183         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2184         commented out printing code.
2185         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2186         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2187
2188 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2189
2190         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2191
2192 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2193
2194         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2195         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2196         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2197         during call to scm-style-repl.
2198
2199 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2200
2201         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2202         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2203         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2204         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2205         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2206
2207 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2208
2209         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2210         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2211         (ice-9 regex).
2212
2213 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2214
2215         * regex.scm: New file.
2216         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2217         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2218
2219 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2220
2221         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2222         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2223         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2224         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2225
2226 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2227
2228         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2229         in 1997.
2230
2231 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2232
2233         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2234         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2235         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2236
2237 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2238
2239         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2240         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2241         here.
2242
2243 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2244
2245         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2246
2247 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2248
2249         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2250
2251 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2252
2253         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2254         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2255         fixes this too.
2256
2257 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2258
2259         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2260         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2261         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2262
2263 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2264
2265         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2266         the Scheme code like code yet.
2267         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2268
2269 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2270
2271         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2272         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2273         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2274
2275 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2276
2277         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2278         use-modules macro
2279         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2280         can't be found.
2281
2282 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2283
2284         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2285
2286 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2287
2288         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2289
2290         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2291         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2292         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2293
2294 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2295
2296         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2297         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2298         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2299
2300         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2301         no plugins.
2302         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2303         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2304
2305 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2308         functions.
2309
2310 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311
2312         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2313
2314 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2315
2316         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2317         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2318
2319 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2320
2321         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2322         instead of in libguile.
2323         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2324         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2325
2326 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2327
2328         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2329         procedures.
2330         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2331         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2332
2333 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2334
2335         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2336         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2337
2338 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2339
2340         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2341         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2342         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2343         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2344
2345 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2346
2347         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2348         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2349
2350 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2351
2352         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2353
2354 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2355
2356         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2357         keywords and symbols.
2358
2359 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2360
2361         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2362
2363         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2364         Don't define read-sharp.
2365
2366         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2367         (read-sharp): removed.
2368         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2369         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2370
2371 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2372
2373         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2374
2375         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2376         primitive procedure.)
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2379         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2380
2381 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2384
2385 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2386
2387         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2388
2389 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2390
2391         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2392         read gets EOF.
2393         * (exit): alias for quit.
2394
2395 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2396
2397         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2398         return the quit args.
2399         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2400         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2401         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2402
2403         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2404
2405 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2406
2407         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2408
2409         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2410         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2411
2412         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2413         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2414
2415         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2416         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2417         of handlers.
2418
2419 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2420
2421         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2422
2423         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2424         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2425         Change hooks to use these functions.
2426
2427         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2428         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2429         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2430         the source! :-)
2431         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2432         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2433         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2434         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2435         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2436         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2437         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2438         traced.
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2441         and exit-frame exceptions.
2442
2443         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2444         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2445         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2446         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2447         result; otherwise display "> ".
2448         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2449
2450         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2451         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2452         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2453         repository version runnable.
2454
2455 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2456
2457         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2458         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2459         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2460         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2461         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2462         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2463
2464 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2467         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2468         and eval.
2469         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2470         "defined?".
2471         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2472         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2473
2474 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2475
2476         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2477
2478 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2479
2480         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2481         %read-sharp layer.
2482
2483 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2484
2485         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2486         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2487
2488 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2489
2490         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2491         backtrace.c.)
2492
2493 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2494
2495         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2496         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2497
2498 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2499
2500         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2501
2502         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2503         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2504         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2505         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2506         dynamic linking of modules.
2507         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2508         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2509
2510 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2511
2512         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2513
2514 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2515
2516         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2517         that's what it is.
2518
2519         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2520         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2521         was false.

2523 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2524
2525         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2526         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2527         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2528
2529 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2530
2531         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2532         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2533         yet.
2534
2535 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2536
2537         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2538         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2539         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2540
2541 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2542
2543         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2544         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2545         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2546         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2547
2548         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2549         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2550         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2551         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2552         (such as the-scm-module).
2553
2554 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2555
2556         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2557         %search-load-path.
2558
2559 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2560
2561         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2562         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2563         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2564
2565 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2566
2567         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2568         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2569         function, use it accordingly.
2570
2571 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2572
2573         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2574         function of no arguments.
2575         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2576         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2577         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2578         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2579         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2580         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2581         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2582         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2583
2584 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2585
2586         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2587         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2588
2589 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2590
2591         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2592         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2593         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2594         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2595         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2596
2597         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2598         `*features*'.
2599
2600         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2601         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2602         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2603         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2604
2605         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2606
2607         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2608
2609         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2610         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2611         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2612
2613         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2614         error.
2615
2616         Added `before-read-hook'.
2617
2618         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2619
2620         (provide): New function.
2621
2622         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2623         in backtraces.
2624
2625         (backtrace): New function.
2626
2627         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2628         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2629         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2630         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2631         is found in operator position in a frame.
2632
2633         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2634         by default.
2635
2636         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2637         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2638         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2639
2640         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2641
2642         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2643
2644         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2645
2646         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2647
2648 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2649
2650         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2651
2652         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2653         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2654
2655         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2656         so they'll get distributed.
2657
2658         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2659         should see as little clutter as possible.
2660         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2661         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2662         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2663
2664         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2665         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2666         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2667         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2668         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2669         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2670         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2671         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2672         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2673         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2674         that are not.
2675         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2676         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2677
2678         * test.scm: New file.
2679
2680         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2681         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2682         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2683
2684         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2685         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2686
2687         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2688         work now.
2689         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2690         call %load-announce.
2691
2692 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2693
2694         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2695         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2696         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2697         components.
2698         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2699
2700 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2701
2702         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2703         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2704         SCSH (which this isn't).
2705
2706 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2707
2708         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2709
2710 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2711
2712         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2713         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2714         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2715         these.
2716         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2717         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2718         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2719         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2720         save-stack.
2721
2722 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2723
2724         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2725
2726         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2727
2728         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2729         error-catching-loop.
2730         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2731         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2732         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2733
2734         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2735         error-catching-loop.
2736
2737 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2738
2739         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2740         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2741         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2742         should be '(), not #f.
2743
2744         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2745         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2746
2747 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2748
2749         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2750         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2751         error-signal.
2752
2753 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2754
2755         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2756         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2757         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2758         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2759
2760 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2761
2762         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2763
2764 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2765
2766         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2767
2768         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2769         throw-handler-default.
2770         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2771         reported.
2772         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2773         acro.
2774         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2775         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2776
2777 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2778
2779         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2780         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2781         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2782         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2783
2784 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2785
2786         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2787         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2788         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2789         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2790         ...))
2791         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2792         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2793         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2794         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2795         file-is-directory?
2796
2797 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2798
2799         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2800
2801         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2802         distribution.
2803
2804         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2805         `switch-repl'.
2806
2807         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2808
2809 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2810
2811         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2812         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2813
2814 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2815
2816         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2817
2818         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2819
2820 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2821
2822         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2823         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2824         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2825         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2826         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2827
2828         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2829         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2830         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2831         they seem redundant.
2832         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2833         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2834         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2835         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2836         directly files starting with "/").
2837         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2838         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2839
2840         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2841
2842 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2843
2844         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2845         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2846         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2847         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2848         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2849         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2850         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2851         robust to just do it in the C code.
2852
2853 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2854
2855         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2856         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2857         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2858         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2859         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2860
