1 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
3 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
4 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
5 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
6 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
8 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
10 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
11 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
13 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
15 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
16 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
17 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
18 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
20 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
22 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
23 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
25 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
27 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
28 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
30 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
32 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
35 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
37 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
38 source of the numerous very short changes.
40 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
42 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
45 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
48 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
50 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
53 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
55 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
56 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
58 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
60 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
63 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
65 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
66 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
67 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
69 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
71 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
72 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
73 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
74 Narazaki for this change.
76 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
78 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
79 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
82 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
83 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
85 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
87 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
88 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
90 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
92 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
93 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
94 use define-public to export from the module.
96 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
98 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
99 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
100 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
102 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
104 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
106 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
108 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
109 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
111 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
113 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
115 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
117 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
119 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
121 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
122 long_long uniform vectors.
124 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
126 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
127 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
129 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
131 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
132 script to create generated files like this one.
134 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
136 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
137 available before using getpw and getuid.
138 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
139 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
141 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
142 check for .guile, instead of stat.
143 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
145 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
146 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
147 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
149 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
150 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
152 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
154 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
156 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
159 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
160 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
162 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
164 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
166 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
167 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
168 ("position"): New command.
169 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
170 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
171 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
172 to return a valid state.)
173 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
175 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
177 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
178 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
181 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
183 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
184 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
186 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
188 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
190 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
192 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
193 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
195 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
196 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
197 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
199 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
202 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
204 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
205 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
207 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
209 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
211 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
212 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
213 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
214 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
216 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
219 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
220 both forward and backward views of the stack
221 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
222 Use selector `frame-number';
223 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
224 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
226 Use readline conditionally.
228 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
230 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
231 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
232 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
234 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
235 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
238 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
240 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
242 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
244 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
246 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
248 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
250 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
251 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
252 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
253 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
254 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
255 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
256 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
257 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
258 libguile-config-stamp.
259 * version.scm.in: Delete.
260 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
261 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
262 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
263 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
265 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
267 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
268 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
269 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
271 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
272 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
273 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
274 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
277 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
279 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
281 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
283 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
285 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
286 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
288 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
290 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
291 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
292 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
293 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
294 objects starting with '#/'.
296 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
298 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
299 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
300 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
301 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
302 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
303 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
305 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
306 module-modified): New procedures.
307 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
308 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
310 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
312 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
315 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
317 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
318 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
319 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
321 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
324 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
326 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
327 at multiple calls to read.
328 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
329 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
330 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
331 continued-lines prompt.
333 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
336 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
338 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
339 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
341 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
343 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
344 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
347 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
349 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
350 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
352 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
353 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
354 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
355 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
356 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
359 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
361 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
362 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
364 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
366 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
367 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
368 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
369 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
371 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
373 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
375 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
376 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
377 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
380 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
382 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
383 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
384 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
385 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
386 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
387 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
388 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
389 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
390 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
391 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
392 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
394 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
396 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
397 peeked from the stream.
398 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
399 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
400 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
402 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
404 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
405 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
407 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
409 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
410 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
411 exiting repl with single control-D.
413 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
415 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
416 error catching loop after quit received.
417 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
419 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
420 primitive exit if non-interactive.
421 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
423 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
424 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
426 * popen.scm: new file.
428 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
430 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
431 (reverse-iota): removed.
433 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
435 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
436 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
438 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
440 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
441 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
442 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
443 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
444 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
446 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
448 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
450 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
451 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
453 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
454 Guile's module system.
456 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
458 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
459 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
460 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
461 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
462 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
463 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
465 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
466 '() when the condition is false.
468 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
470 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
472 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
474 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
476 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
478 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
479 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
480 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
482 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
484 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
485 argument order for hash-fold.
487 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
489 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
491 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
492 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
494 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
495 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
496 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
497 has been added to the load path).
501 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
503 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
504 module between system and user state.
506 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
508 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
510 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
513 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
515 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
516 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
517 system can create a wrapper class for it.
519 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
521 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
522 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
523 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
524 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
525 stack frame encountered.
527 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
528 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
529 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
530 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
533 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
534 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
535 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
536 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
539 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
540 define-module switches:
545 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
548 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
549 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
550 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
551 module it is a system frame.
553 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
554 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
555 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
556 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
557 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
559 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
560 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
561 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
562 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
563 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
564 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
566 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
568 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
569 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
571 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
572 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
573 closure to the module.
575 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
577 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
579 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
581 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
583 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
585 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
587 Fix from Russ McManus:
588 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
589 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
590 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
591 either an optional or required value.
593 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
595 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
597 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
598 of the '() key, not `rest'.
600 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
601 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
602 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
603 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
605 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
607 * optargs.scm: New file.
608 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
609 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
611 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
613 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
614 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
615 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
617 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
619 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
620 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
623 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
625 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
627 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
629 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
630 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
631 applied to the module itself.
633 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
635 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
637 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
638 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
640 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
642 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
644 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
646 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
648 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
650 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
651 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
653 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
655 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
656 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
657 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
658 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
659 among BINDINGS is referenced.
660 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
661 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
663 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
665 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
666 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
668 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
670 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
671 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
674 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
676 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
678 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
680 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
682 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
684 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
685 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
686 adapt to the new hooks.
688 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
690 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
691 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
692 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
694 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
695 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
697 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
698 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
699 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
700 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
701 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
702 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
703 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
704 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
705 first to register linked modules.
707 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
708 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
709 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
711 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
712 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
713 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
714 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
716 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
718 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
721 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
722 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
723 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
725 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
727 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
728 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
729 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
731 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
733 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
734 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
735 result of the last form.
737 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
739 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
742 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
744 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
745 readline-set!: New options interface.
747 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
749 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
751 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
752 at the end of boot-9.scm.
754 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
756 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
757 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
759 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
761 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
763 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
765 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
766 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
768 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
770 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
772 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
774 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
777 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
779 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
780 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
782 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
784 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
786 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
787 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
788 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
790 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
791 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
793 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
794 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
795 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
797 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
798 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
799 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
800 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
801 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
802 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
804 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
806 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
807 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
809 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
811 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
812 and short vectors #h(...).
814 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
816 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
817 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
818 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
820 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
822 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
823 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
824 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
826 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
828 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
829 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
831 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
832 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
833 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
834 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
836 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
838 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
841 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
842 order to allow the empty list as arg.
843 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
844 context with traps enabled.
846 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
848 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
850 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
852 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
854 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
855 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
856 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
857 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
858 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
860 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
862 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
863 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
865 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
867 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
869 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
871 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
873 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
875 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
877 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
879 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
880 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
882 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
884 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
885 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
886 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
887 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
890 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
891 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
892 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
894 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
896 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
897 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
898 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
899 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
900 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
901 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
902 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
904 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
906 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
908 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
910 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
911 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
912 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
913 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
914 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
915 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
917 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
919 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
920 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
921 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
924 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
926 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
928 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
930 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
932 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
934 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
937 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
939 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
941 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
943 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
944 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
946 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
948 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
949 similar in use to `use-modules'.
950 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
951 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
953 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
954 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
956 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
958 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
960 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
962 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
963 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
966 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
967 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
969 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
970 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
971 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
973 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
975 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
977 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
979 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
980 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
982 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
984 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
986 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
988 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
989 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
991 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
993 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
996 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
998 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
999 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1001 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1003 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1005 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1007 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1010 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1012 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1013 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1014 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1015 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1016 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1019 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1021 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1022 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1023 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1025 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1027 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1029 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1030 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1032 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1034 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1035 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1036 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1037 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1038 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1039 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1040 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1043 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1045 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1048 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1050 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1051 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1052 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1053 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1054 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1055 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1057 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1059 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1060 usefully so they will work from a script.
1062 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1064 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1065 neighborhood of the record code.
1067 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1069 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1070 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1071 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1072 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1074 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1076 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1077 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1078 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1080 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1082 Add support for readline function.
1083 * readline.scm: New module.
1084 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1085 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1086 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1088 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1089 repl-reader to use them.
1090 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1092 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1094 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1096 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1097 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1099 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1101 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1102 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1103 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1105 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1107 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1108 #f, abort terminates the process.
1109 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1110 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1112 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1114 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1115 print-state, throw it away.
1117 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1119 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of

1124 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1125 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.

1127 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1129 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1130 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1132 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1134 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1136 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1138 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1139 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1140 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1141 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1142 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1144 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1145 distribution and installation.
1146 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1152 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1154 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1155 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1156 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1158 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1159 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1162 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1164 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1166 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1168 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1170 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1171 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1172 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1173 field a separate argument.
1175 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1177 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1179 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1181 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1185 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1187 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.

1192 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1193 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1194 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1195 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1196 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1198 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1199 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1200 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1201 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1202 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1205 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1207 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1212 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1214 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1216 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1218 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1219 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1220 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1221 expansion inside the slib module.
1223 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1225 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1226 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1231 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1233 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1234 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1235 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1237 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1238 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1241 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1243 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1244 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1246 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1248 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1249 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1250 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1251 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1253 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1254 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1255 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1261 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1263 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1264 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1265 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1266 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1267 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1269 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1270 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1271 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1273 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1274 the syncase interface.
1276 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1278 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1279 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1280 workings of the current module system).
1282 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1284 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1285 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1288 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1290 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1291 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1292 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1294 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1296 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1297 according to the following priorities:
1298 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1299 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1301 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1302 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1303 (new-interpreter): New function.
1305 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1306 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1307 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1309 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1311 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1313 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1315 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1317 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1319 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1321 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1323 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1325 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1326 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1329 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1331 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1332 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1333 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1334 symbols matching regexp.
1336 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1337 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1340 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1341 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1342 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1343 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1344 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1346 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1347 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1349 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1351 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1352 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1354 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1355 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1357 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1359 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1361 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1362 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1363 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1365 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1367 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1369 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1371 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1373 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1374 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.

1378 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1381 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1383 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1384 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1385 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1387 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1388 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1391 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1392 order to narrow it correctly.
1393 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1395 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1397 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1398 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1400 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1402 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1404 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1406 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1407 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1409 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1411 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1412 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1413 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1415 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1417 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1420 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1422 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1423 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1424 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1425 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1426 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1428 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1430 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1431 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1434 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1436 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1438 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1439 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1440 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1442 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to

1447 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1448 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1449 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1450 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1451 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1452 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1454 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1455 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1456 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1457 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1459 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1461 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1462 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1463 sending in bug reports.
1464 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1465 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1466 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1467 display a warning if the two are different.
1468 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1469 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1470 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1472 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1474 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1476 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1478 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1479 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1481 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1482 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1483 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1484 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1485 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1486 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1489 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1490 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1493 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1494 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1496 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1499 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1502 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1504 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1507 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1509 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1510 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1512 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1514 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1515 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1516 to support printing of structures.
1517 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1518 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1519 commented out printing code.
1520 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1521 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1523 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

1527 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1529 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1530 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1531 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1532 during call to scm-style-repl.
1534 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1536 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1537 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1538 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1539 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1540 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1542 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1544 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1545 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1548 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1550 * regex.scm: New file.
1551 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1552 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1554 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1556 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1557 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1558 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1559 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1561 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1563 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1566 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1568 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1569 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1570 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1572 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1574 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1575 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1578 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1580 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1582 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1584 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1586 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1588 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1589 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1592 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1594 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1595 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1596 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1598 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1600 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1601 the Scheme code like code yet.
1602 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1604 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1606 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1607 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1608 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1610 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1612 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1614 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1617 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1619 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1621 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1623 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1625 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1626 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1627 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1629 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1631 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1632 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1633 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1635 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1637 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1638 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1640 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1642 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1645 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1647 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1649 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1651 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1652 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1654 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1656 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1657 instead of in libguile.
1658 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1659 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1661 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1663 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1665 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1666 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1668 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1670 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1671 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1673 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1675 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1676 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1677 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1678 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1680 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1682 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1683 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1685 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1687 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1689 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1691 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1692 keywords and symbols.
1694 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1696 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1698 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1699 Don't define read-sharp.
1701 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1702 (read-sharp): removed.
1703 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1704 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1706 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1708 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1710 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1711 primitive procedure.)
1713 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1714 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1716 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1718 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1720 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1722 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1724 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1726 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1728 * (exit): alias for quit.
1730 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1732 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1733 return the quit args.
1734 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1735 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1736 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1738 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1740 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1742 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1744 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1745 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1747 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1748 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1750 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1751 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1754 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1756 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1758 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1759 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1760 Change hooks to use these functions.
1762 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1763 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1764 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1766 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1767 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1768 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1769 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1770 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1771 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1772 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1775 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1776 and exit-frame exceptions.
1778 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1779 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1780 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1781 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1782 result; otherwise display "> ".
1783 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1785 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1786 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1787 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1788 repository version runnable.
1790 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1792 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1793 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1794 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1795 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1796 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1797 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1799 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1801 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1802 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1804 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1806 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1807 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1809 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1811 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1813 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1815 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1818 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1820 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1821 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1823 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1825 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1828 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1830 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1831 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1833 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1835 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1837 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1838 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1839 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1840 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1841 dynamic linking of modules.
1842 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1843 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1845 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1847 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1849 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1851 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1854 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1855 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1858 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1860 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1861 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1862 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1864 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1866 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1867 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1870 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1872 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1873 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1874 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1876 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1878 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1879 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1880 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1881 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1883 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1884 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1885 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1886 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1887 (such as the-scm-module).
1889 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1891 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1894 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1896 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1897 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1898 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1900 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1902 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1903 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1904 function, use it accordingly.
1906 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1908 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1909 function of no arguments.
1910 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1911 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1912 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1913 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1914 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1915 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1916 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1917 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1919 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1921 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1922 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1924 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1926 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1927 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1928 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1929 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1930 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1932 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1935 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1936 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1937 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1938 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1940 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1942 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1944 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1945 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1946 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1948 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1951 Added `before-read-hook'.
1953 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1955 (provide): New function.
1957 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1960 (backtrace): New function.
1962 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1963 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1964 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1965 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1966 is found in operator position in a frame.
1968 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1971 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1972 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1973 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1975 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1977 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1979 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1981 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1983 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1985 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1987 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1988 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1990 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1991 so they'll get distributed.
1993 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1994 should see as little clutter as possible.
1995 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1996 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1997 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1999 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2000 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2001 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2002 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2003 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2004 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2005 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2006 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2007 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2008 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2010 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2011 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2013 * test.scm: New file.
2015 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2016 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2017 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2019 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2020 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2022 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2024 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2025 call %load-announce.
2027 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2029 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2030 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2031 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2033 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2035 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2037 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2038 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2039 SCSH (which this isn't).
2041 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2043 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2045 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2047 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2048 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2049 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2051 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2052 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2053 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2054 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2057 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2059 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2061 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2063 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2064 error-catching-loop.
2065 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2066 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2067 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2069 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2070 error-catching-loop.
2072 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2074 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2075 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2076 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2077 should be '(), not #f.
2079 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2080 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2082 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2084 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2085 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2088 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2090 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2091 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2092 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2093 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2095 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2097 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2099 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2101 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2103 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2104 throw-handler-default.
2105 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2107 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2109 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2110 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2112 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2114 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2115 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2116 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2117 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2119 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2121 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2122 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2123 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2124 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2126 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2127 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2128 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2129 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2132 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2134 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2136 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2139 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2142 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2144 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2146 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2147 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2149 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2151 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2153 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2155 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2157 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2158 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2159 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2160 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2161 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2163 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2164 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2165 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2166 they seem redundant.
2167 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2168 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2169 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2170 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2171 directly files starting with "/").
2172 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2173 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2175 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2177 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2179 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2180 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2181 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2182 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2183 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2184 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2185 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2186 robust to just do it in the C code.
2188 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2190 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2191 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2192 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2193 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2194 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2196 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2198 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2199 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2200 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2202 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2204 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2205 system-error, not every kind of error.
2206 (scm-error): new procedure.
2208 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2210 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2212 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2214 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2215 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2216 of args are supplied.
2217 (%%system-errors): removed.
2218 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2219 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2220 %%handle-system-error.
2221 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2222 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2223 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2224 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2226 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2228 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2229 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2230 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2231 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2233 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2235 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2236 the empty list if they are #f.
2237 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2239 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2241 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2243 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2244 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2245 aborting, just the key and subr.
2246 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2247 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2248 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2250 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2252 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2253 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2254 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2255 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2256 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2258 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2260 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2261 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2262 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2263 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2265 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2267 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2268 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2269 initialize %load-path.
2271 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2272 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2274 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2276 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2277 Add the directory named after the version number.
2278 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2279 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2280 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2281 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2282 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2283 (install): Create the above directories.
2284 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2285 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2287 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2289 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2290 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2291 in the Makefile directly.
2292 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2294 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2296 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2297 here, where people expect to find them.
2299 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2301 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2302 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2304 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2306 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2308 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2309 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2311 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2313 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2314 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2316 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2317 weak-key-hash-table.
2319 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2321 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2322 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2323 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2324 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2325 (%open-file): removed.
2326 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2327 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2329 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2331 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2332 (manifest): Deleted.
2333 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2334 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2336 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2338 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2339 now that they throw errors directly.
2340 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2341 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2343 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2345 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2347 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2349 * The more things change...
