  45
  46 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
  49         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
  50         rdelim) module.  See below.
  51
  52 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  53
  54         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
  55         include-deprecated-features is true.
  56
  57 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  58
  59         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
  60         unknown objects.
  61
  62         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
  63         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
  64         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
  65
  66         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
  67         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of

  70
  71 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  72
  73         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
  74         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
  75         variable, not just a visible one.
  76         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
  77         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
  78         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
  79         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
  80         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
  81         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
  82         variables.
  83         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
  84
  85         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
  86         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
  87
  88 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  89
  90         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
  91         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
  92
  93 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  94
  95         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
  96
  97 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  98
  99         Added exception notice to all files.
 100
 101         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 102         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 103         importing bindings once in a while.
 104
 105 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 106
 107         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 108         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 109         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 110         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 111         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 112         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 113         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 114         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 115         message.
 116         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 117         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 118
 119 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 120
 121         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 122         fix command so that it works.
 123
 124         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 125         to access unbound variables.
 126
 127         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 128         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 129         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 130         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 131         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 132
 133 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 134
 135         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 136         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 137         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 138         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 139         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 140         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 141         argument for process-define-module.
 142         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 143         arguments for process-use-modules.
 144         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 145
 146 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 147
 148         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 149         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 150         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 151         module.
 152
 153         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 154         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 155         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 156
 157         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 158
 159 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 160
 161         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 162         to feature lists.

 168         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 169

 171
 172         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 173         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 174         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 175
 176 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 177
 178         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 179         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 180
 181         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 182         `display'.

 185
 186         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 187         * match.scm: Likewise.
 188         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 189         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 190
 191         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 192
 193         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 194
 195         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 196         set-current-module.
 197         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 198         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 199         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 200         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 201         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 202         element list when adding "." to it.
 203         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 204         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 205
 206 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 207

 209         cleanup; nfc.
 210         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 211         now accepts arg; update callers.
 212         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 213         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 214
 215         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 216         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 217         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 218         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 219         `search-documentation-files'.
 220         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 221         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 224         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 225         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 240         used module's public interface is not available.
 241         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 242         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.

 246         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 247
 248         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 249         the module obarray.
 250         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 251
 252         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 253         the magical undefined value.
 254         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 255         the default default for bindings.
 256
 257         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 258         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 259         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 260         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 261         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.

 263         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 264         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 265         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 266         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 267         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 268         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 269         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 270         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 271         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 272         `set-current-module' call.
 273         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 274         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 275
 276         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 277         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 283         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P

 287
 288         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Reduce feature list to built-in

 307         or a interface spec.
 308         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
 309         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 310         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 311         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 312         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 313         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 314         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 315         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 316         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
 317         `provided?'.
 318

 554
 555         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 556         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 557         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 558         frame is invoked.
 559

 613
 614 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 615
 616         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 617         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 620         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 621
 622         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 623         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 624
 625 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 626
 627         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 628         in C for now.
 629         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 630         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 631
 632 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 633
 634         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 635         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 636         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 637         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 638         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 639         for now.

 642
 643 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 644
 645         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 646         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 647         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 648         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 649         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 650         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 651         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 652

 658 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 659
 660         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 661         any more.
 662
 663 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 664
 665         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in

 675         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 676         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 677         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

 686         make-shared-substring.
 687
 688 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 689
 690         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 691         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 692         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 693         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 694         scm-style-repl.
 695

 701 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 702
 703         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 704         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 705         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 706         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 707         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 708         Pirotte for the bug report).
 709         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 710         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

 735         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 736         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 737
 738         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 739         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 740         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 741         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 742         actual documentation entries themselves.

 757         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 758         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 759         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 760         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 761
 762         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 763
 764         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
 765
 766 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 767
 768         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
 769
 770 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 771
 772         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 773         `symbol-append'.
 774         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 775         args.
 776         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 777         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 778         even worked...  /mdj.
 779         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 780         `symbol->string'.
 781         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 782         semantics.
 783
 784 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 789 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 790
 791         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 792         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 793
 794 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 795
 796         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 806
 807 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 808
 809         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 810         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 811         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 812         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 813         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 814
 815         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 816
 817 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 818
 819         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 820         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 821
 822         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 823         syntactic bindings.
 824
 825         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 826         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 827         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 828         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 829
 830         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 831
 832         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 833         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 834
 835         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 836
 837         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 838         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 839
 840 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 841
 842         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 843         definition of module-type.
 844
 845         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 846
 847         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 848
 849         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 850         lines.
 851         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 852         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 853
 854 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 855
 856         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 857
 858 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 859
 860         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 861         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 862         Mikael for the suggestion.
 863
 864 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 865
 866         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 867         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 868
 869 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 870
 871         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 872         for export args.
 873
 874 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 875
 876         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 877
 878 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 879
 880         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 881         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 882         for the hint.
 883
 884         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 885         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 886         tail recursive yet.
 887
 888 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 889
 890         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 891         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 892
 893         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 894         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 895         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 896         See NEWS.
 897         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 898
 899         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 900
 901 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 902
 903         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 904         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 905
 906 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 907
 908         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 909         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 910
 911 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 912
 913         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 914         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 915
 916 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 917
 918         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 919
 920         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 921
 922         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 923
 924 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 925
 926         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 927         '() instead of #f.
 928         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 929         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 930         `the-root-module'.
 931         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 932
 933         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 934         documentation.scm.
 935
 936         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 937         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 938         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 939         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 940         (help): Rewritten.
 941
 942         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 943
 944         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 945
 946 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 947
 948         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 949         (write-all): Removed.
 950         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 951         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 952
 953 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 954
 955         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 956         `proc-documentation'
 957
 958         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 959         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 960         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 961         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 962         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 963         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 964         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 965         getter...)
 966
 967 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 968
 969         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 970
 971 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 974         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 975         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 976         closure.
 977
 978 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 979
 980         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 981         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 982         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 983         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 984         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 985         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 986         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 987
 988 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 989
 990         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 991         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 992
 993 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 994
 995         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 996         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 997
 998 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 999
1000         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1001         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1002         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1003         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1004         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1005         delete-if! when iterating.
1006
1007 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1008
1009         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1010
1011 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1012
1013         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1014
1015 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1016
1017         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1018         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1019         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1020         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1021
1022 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1023
1024         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1025         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1026
1027 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1028
1029         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1030         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1031         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1032         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1033
1034 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1035
1036         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1037         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1038
1039 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1040
1041         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1042         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1043
1044 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1045
1046         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1047         Dirk Hermann!
1048
1049 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1050
1051         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1052         source of the numerous very short changes.
1053
1054 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1055
1056         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1057         public.
1058
1059         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1060         info pages.
1061
1062 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1063
1064         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1065         from slib docs.
1066
1067 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1068
1069         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1070         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1071
1072 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1075         to string-append.
1076
1077 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1078
1079         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1080         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1081         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1082
1083 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1084
1085         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1086         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1087         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1088         Narazaki for this change.
1089
1090 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1093         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1094         %S.
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1097         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1098
1099 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1100
1101         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1102         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1103
1104 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1105
1106         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1107         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1108         use define-public to export from the module.
1109
1110 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1111
1112         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1113         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1114         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1115
1116 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1117
1118         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1119
1120 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1121
1122         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1123         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1124
1125 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1126
1127         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1128

1144
1145         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1146         script to create generated files like this one.
1147
1148 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1149
1150         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1151         available before using getpw and getuid.
1152         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1153         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1154         check for stat.
1155         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1156         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1157         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1158         available.
1159         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1160         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1161         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1162
1163         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1164         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1165
1166         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1167

1171         than 'exit-debugger.
1172
1173         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1174         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1175
1176         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

1196
1197         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1198         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1199
1200 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1201
1202         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1217
1218         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

1222
1223 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1224
1225         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1226         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1227         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since

1231         argument.
1232

1234         both forward and backward views of the stack
1235         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1236         Use selector `frame-number';

1243
1244         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1245         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1246         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1247
1248         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1249         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1250         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1251
1252 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1253
1254         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1255
1256         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1257
1258         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1259
1260         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1261
1262 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1263
1264         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1265         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1266         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1267         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1268         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1269         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1270         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1271         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1272         libguile-config-stamp.
1273         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1274         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1275         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1276         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1277         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1278
1279 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1280
1281         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1282         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1283         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1284
1285         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1286         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1287         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1288         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1289         readline.
1290
1291         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1292
1293 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1294
1295         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1296
1297 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1298
1299         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1300         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1301
1302 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1303
1304         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1305         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1306         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1307         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1308         objects starting with '#/'.
1309
1310 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1311
1312         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1313         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1314         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1315         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1316         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1317         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1318         `observer-id'.
1319         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1320         module-modified): New procedures.
1321         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1322         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1323
1324 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1325
1326         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1327         defines.
1328
1329 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1330
1331         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1332         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1333         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1334
1335         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1336         position.
1337
1338 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1339
1340         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1341         at multiple calls to read.
1342         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1343         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1344         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1345         continued-lines prompt.
1346
1347         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1348         reading expressions.
1349
1350 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1351
1352         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1353         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1354
1355 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1356
1357         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1358         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1359         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1360
1361         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1362
1363         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1364         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1365
1366         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1367         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1368         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1369         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1370         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1371         instead of a port.
1372
1373 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1374
1375         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1376         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1377
1378         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1379
1380         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1381         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1382         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1383         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1384
1385         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1386
1387         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1388
1389         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1390         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1391         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1392         an alist.
1393
1394         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1395
1396         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1397         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1398         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1399         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1400         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1401         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1402         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1403         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1404         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1405         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1406         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1407
1408         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1409
1410         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1411         peeked from the stream.
1412         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1413         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1414         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1415
1416         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1417
1418         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1419         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1420
1421         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1422
1423         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1424         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1425         exiting repl with single control-D.
1426
1427         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1428
1429         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1430         error catching loop after quit received.
1431         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1432
1433         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1434         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1435         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1436
1437         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1438         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1439         boot-9.scm.
1440         * popen.scm: new file.
1441
1442 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1443
1444        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1445        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1446
1447 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1448
1449         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1450         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1451
1452 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1453
1454         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1455         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1456         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1457         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1458         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1459
1460 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1461
1462         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1463
1464         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1465         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1466
1467         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1468         Guile's module system.
1469
1470         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1471         changes:
1472         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1473         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1474         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1475         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1476         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1477         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1478         modern CL behavior.
1479         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns

1482 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1483
1484         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1485
1486 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1487
1488         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1489
1490 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1491
1492         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1493         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1494         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1495
1496 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1497
1498         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1499         argument order for hash-fold.
1500
1501 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1502
1503         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1504         resolve-module.
1505         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1506         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1507
1508         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1509         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1510         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1511         has been added to the load path).
1512
1513         Use try-load-module.
1514
1515 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1516
1517         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1518         module between system and user state.
1519
1520 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1521
1522         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1523
1524         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1525         definition.
1526
1527 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1528
1529         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1530         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1531         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1532
1533 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1534
1535         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1536         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1537         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1538         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1539         stack frame encountered.
1540
1541         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1542         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1543         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1544         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1545         list).]
1546
1547         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1548         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1549         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1550         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1551         please tell me!]
1552
1553         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1554         define-module switches:
1555
1556         (define-module (foo)
1557           :no-backtrace)
1558
1559         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1560         modules.
1561
1562         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1563         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1564         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1565         module it is a system frame.
1566
1567         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1568         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1569         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1570         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1571         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1572
1573         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1574         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1575         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1576         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1577         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1578         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1579
1580         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1581         status of a module.;
1582         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1583         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1586         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1587         closure to the module.
1588
1589         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1590
1591 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1592
1593         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1594
1595 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1596
1597         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1598
1599 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1600
1601         Fix from Russ McManus:
1602         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1603         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1604         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1605         either an optional or required value.
1606
1607 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1608
1609         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1610
1611         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1612         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1613
1614         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1615         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1616         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1617         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1618
1619 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1620
1621         * optargs.scm: New file.
1622         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1623         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1624
1625 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1626
1627         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1628         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1629         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1630
1631 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1632
1633         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1634         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1635         for isn't loaded.
1636
1637 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1638
1639         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1640
1641 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1642
1643         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1644         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1645         applied to the module itself.
1646
1647 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1650
1651         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1652         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1653
1654 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1655
1656         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1657
1658 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1659
1660         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1661
1662 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1663
1664         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1665         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1666
1667 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1668
1669         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1670         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1671         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1672         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1673         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1674         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1675         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1676
1677 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1678
1679         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1680         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1681
1682 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1683
1684         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1685         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1686         static libraries.
1687
1688 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1689
1690         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1691
1692 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1695
1696 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1697
1698         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1699         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1700         adapt to the new hooks.
1701
1702 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1703
1704         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1705         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1706         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1707         code.
1708         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1709         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1710
1711         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1712         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1713         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1714         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1715         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1716         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1717         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1718         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1719         first to register linked modules.
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1722         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1723         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1726         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1727         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1728         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1729
1730         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1731         to use from C:
1732         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1733         libguile/feature.c.
1734
1735         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1736         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1737         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1738
1739 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1740
1741         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1742         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1743         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1744
1745 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1746
1747         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1748         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1749         result of the last form.
1750
1751 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1754         syncase.scm.
1755
1756         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1757
1758         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1759         readline-set!: New options interface.
1760
1761         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1762
1763 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1764
1765         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1766         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1767
1768 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1769
1770         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1771         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1772
1773 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1774
1775         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1776         interactive session.
1777         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1778
1779         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1780         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1781
1782 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1783
1784         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1785
1786 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1787
1788         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1789         read line was empty.
1790
1791 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1792
1793         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1794         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1795
1796         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1797
1798         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1799         problem.  Duh.
1800         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1801         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1802         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1803
1804         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1805         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1806         into...
1807         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1808         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1809         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1810
1811         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1812         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1813         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1814         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1815         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1816         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1817         psyntax.ss.
1818         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1819
1820         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1821         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1822
1823 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1824
1825         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1826         and short vectors #h(...).
1827
1828 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1829
1830         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1831         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1832         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1833
1834 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1835
1836         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1837         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1838         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1839
1840 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1841
1842         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1843         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1844
1845         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1846         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1847         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1848         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1849
1850 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1851
1852         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1853         trace flag.
1854
1855         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1856         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1857         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1858         context with traps enabled.
1859
1860 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1861
1862         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1863         module.
1864         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1865
1866 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1867
1868         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1869         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1870         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1871         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1872         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1873
1874 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1875
1876         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1877         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1878
1879 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1880
1881         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1882
1883 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1884
1885         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1886
1887 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1888
1889         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1890
1891 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1892
1893         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1894         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1895
1896 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1897
1898         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1899         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1900         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1901         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1902         Archibald.)
1903
1904         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1905         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1906         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1907
1908 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1909
1910         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1911         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1912         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1913         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1914         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1915         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1916         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1917
1918 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1919
1920         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1921
1922 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1923
1924         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1925         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1926         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1927         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1928         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1929         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1930
1931 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1932
1933         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1934         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1935         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1936         Steven G. Johnson.)
1937
1938 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1939
1940         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1941
1942 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1943
1944         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1945
1946 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1947
1948         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1949         be completed.
1950
1951 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1952
1953         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1954
1955 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1958         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1959
1960 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1961
1962         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1963         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1964         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1965         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1966         transformer.
1967         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1968         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1969
1970 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1971
1972         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1973
1974 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1975
1976         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1977         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1978         completion.
1979
1980         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1981         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1982
1983         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1984         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1985         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1988
1989 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1990
1991         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1992
1993         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1994         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1995
1996 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1997
1998         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1999
2000 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2001
2002         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2003         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2004
2005         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2006
2007         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2008         obsolete.
2009
2010 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2011
2012         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2013         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2014
2015 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2016
2017         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2018
2019 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2020
2021         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2022         Stachowiak.)
2023
2024 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2025
2026         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2027         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2028         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2029         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2030         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2031         threads.
2032
2033 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2034
2035         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2036         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2037         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2038
2039 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2040
2041         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2042
2043         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2044         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2045
2046 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2047
2048         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2049         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2050         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2051         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2052         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2053         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2054         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2055         to go here.
2056
2057 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2058
2059         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2060         is now a fluid.
2061
2062 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2063
2064         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2065         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2066         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2067         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2068         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2069         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2070
2071 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2072
2073         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2074         usefully so they will work from a script.
2075
2076 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2077
2078         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2079         neighborhood of the record code.
2080
2081 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2082
2083         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2084         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2085         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2086         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2087
2088 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2089
2090         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2091         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2092         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2093
2094 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2095
2096         Add support for readline function.
2097         * readline.scm: New module.
2098         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2099         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2100         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2101         anything.
2102         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2103         repl-reader to use them.
2104         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2105
2106         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2107
2108 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2109
2110         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2111         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2112
2113 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2114
2115         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2116         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2117         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2118
2119 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2120
2121         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2122         #f, abort terminates the process.
2123         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2124         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2125
2126 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2127
2128         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2129         print-state, throw it away.
2130
2131 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2132
2133         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2134         `0'.
2135
2136 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2139         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2140         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2141         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2142         user field).
2143         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2144         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2145
2146 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2149
2150 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2151
2152         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2153         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2154         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2155         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2156         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2157         boot-9.scm.
2158         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2159         distribution and installation.
2160         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2161
2162 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2163
2164         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2165
2166 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2167
2168         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2169         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2170         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2171
2172         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2173         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2174         symbol.
2175
2176 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2177
2178         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2179
2180         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2181
2182 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2183
2184         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2185         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2186         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2187         field a separate argument.
2188

2194
2195         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2204
2205         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2206         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2207         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2208         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2209         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2210         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2211         registered.
2212         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2213         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2214         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2215         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2216         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

2229
2230         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2231
2232         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2233         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2234         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2235         expansion inside the slib module.
2236
2237         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2245         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2246
2247         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2248         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2249         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2250         source.
2251         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2252         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2253         been loaded.
2254
2255 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2265         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2266         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

2268         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2269         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2270         module.
2271         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2272
2273 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2274
2275         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2276
2277         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2278         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2279         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2280         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2281         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2284         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

2286         syncase macros.

2288         the syncase interface.
2289
2290 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2291
2292         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2293         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2294         workings of the current module system).
2295
2296 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2297
2298         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2309
2310         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2311         according to the following priorities:
2312         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2313         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2314         3. tcl bindings
2315         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2316         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2317         (new-interpreter): New function.
2318
2319         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2320         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2321         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2338
2339         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2340         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2341         source!
2342
2343 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2350         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2351         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2352         in stack-ref).
2353
2354         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2355         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2356         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2357         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2358         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2359         result protocol;

2372
2373 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2374
2375         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2376         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2377         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2378
2379         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2380
2381         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2382         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2383         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

2396
2397         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2398         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2399         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2400
2401         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2402         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2403         the top.
2404
2405         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2406         order to narrow it correctly.
2407         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
2408

2415
2416         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2417
2418 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2419
2420         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2421         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2422
2423 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2424
2425         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2426         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2427         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2428
2429 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2441
2442 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2443
2444         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2445         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2446         a default of /.
2447
2448         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2449

2453         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list

2461         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2462         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2463         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2464         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2465         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2466         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2467
2468         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2469         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2470         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2471         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2472
2473 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2474
2475         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2476         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2477         sending in bug reports.
2478         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2479         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2480         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2481         display a warning if the two are different.
2482         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2483         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2484         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2485
2486 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

2492         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2493         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2494
2495         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2496         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2497         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2498         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2499         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2500         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2501         that's okay.
2502
2503         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2504         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2505         regexp interface.
2506
2507         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2508         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2509
2510         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2511         function names.
2512
2513         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2514         fixes.
2515

2517
2518         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2519         ../configure.in.
2520
2521 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2522
2523         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2524         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2525
2526 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2527
2528         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2529         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2530         to support printing of structures.
2531         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2532         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2533         commented out printing code.
2534         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2535         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2536
2537 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2538
2539         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2540
2541 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2542
2543         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2544         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2545         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2546         during call to scm-style-repl.
2547
2548 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2549
2550         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2551         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2552         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2553         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2554         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2555
2556 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2557
2558         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2559         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2560         (ice-9 regex).
2561
2562 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2563
2564         * regex.scm: New file.
2565         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2566         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2567
2568 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2569
2570         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2571         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2572         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

2576
2577         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2578         in 1997.
2579
2580 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2581
2582         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2583         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2584         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2585
2586 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2587
2588         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2589         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2590         here.
2591
2592 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2593
2594         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2595
2596 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2597
2598         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2600 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2601
2602         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2603         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2604         fixes this too.
2605
2606 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2607
2608         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2609         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2610         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2611
2612 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2613
2614         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2615         the Scheme code like code yet.
2616         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2617
2618 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2619
2620         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2621         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2622         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2623
2624 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2625
2626         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2627         use-modules macro
2628         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2629         can't be found.
2630
2631 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2632
2633         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2634
2635 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2636
2637         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2638
2639         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2640         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2641         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2642
2643 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2644
2645         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2646         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2647         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2648
2649         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2650         no plugins.
2651         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2652         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2653
2654 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2655
2656         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2657         functions.
2658

2660
2661         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2662
2663 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2664
2665         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2666         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2667
2668 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2669
2670         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2671         instead of in libguile.
2672         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2673         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2674
2675 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2676
2677         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2678         procedures.
2679         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2680         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2681
2682 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2683
2684         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2685         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2686
2687 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2688
2689         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2690         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2691         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2692         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2693
2694 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2695
2696         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2697         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2698
2699 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2700
2701         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2702
2703 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2704
2705         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2706         keywords and symbols.
2707
2708 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2709
2710         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2711
2712         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2713         Don't define read-sharp.
2714
2715         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2716         (read-sharp): removed.
2717         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2718         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2719
2720 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2721
2722         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2723
2724         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2725         primitive procedure.)
2726
2727         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2728         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2729
2730 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2731
2732         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2733
2734 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2735
2736         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2737
2738 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2739
2740         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2741         read gets EOF.
2742         * (exit): alias for quit.
2743
2744 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2745
2746         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2747         return the quit args.
2748         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2749         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2750         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2751
2752         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2753
2754 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2755
2756         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2757
2758         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2759         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2760
2761         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2762         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2763
2764         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2765         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2766         of handlers.
2767
2768 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2769
2770         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2771
2772         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2773         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2774         Change hooks to use these functions.
2775
2776         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2777         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2778         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2779         the source! :-)
2780         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2781         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2782         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2783         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2784         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2785         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2786         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2787         traced.
2788
2789         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2790         and exit-frame exceptions.
2791
2792         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2793         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2794         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2795         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2796         result; otherwise display "> ".
2797         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2798
2799         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2800         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2801         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2802         repository version runnable.
2803
2804 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2805
2806         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2807         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2808         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2809         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2810         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2811         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2812
2813 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2814
2815         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2816         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2817         and eval.
2818         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2819         "defined?".
2820         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2821         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2822
2823 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2824
2825         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2826
2827 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2828
2829         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2830         %read-sharp layer.
2831
2832 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2833
2834         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2835         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2836
2837 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2838
2839         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2840         backtrace.c.)
2841
2842 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2843
2844         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2845         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2846
2847 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2848
2849         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2850
2851         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2852         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2853         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2854         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2855         dynamic linking of modules.
2856         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2857         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2858
2859 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2860
2861         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2862
2863 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2864
2865         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2866         that's what it is.
2867
2868         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2869         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2870         was false.
2871
2872 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2873
2874         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2875         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2876         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2877
2878 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2879
2880         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2881         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2882         yet.
2883
2884 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2885
2886         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2887         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2888         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2889
2890 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2891
2892         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2893         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2894         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2895         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2896
2897         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2898         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2899         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2900         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2901         (such as the-scm-module).
2902
2903 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2904
2905         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2906         %search-load-path.
2907
2908 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2909
2910         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2911         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2912         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2913
2914 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2915
2916         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2917         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2918         function, use it accordingly.
2919
2920 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2921
2922         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2923         function of no arguments.
2924         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2925         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2926         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2927         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2928         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2929         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2930         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2931         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2932
2933 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2934
2935         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2936         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2937
2938 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2939
2940         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2941         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2942         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2943         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2944         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2945
2946         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2947         `*features*'.
2948
2949         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2950         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2951         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2952         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2953
2954         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2955
2956         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2957
2958         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2959         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2960         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2961
2962         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2963         error.
2964
2965         Added `before-read-hook'.
2966
2967         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2968
2969         (provide): New function.
2970
2971         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2972         in backtraces.
2973
2974         (backtrace): New function.
2975
2976         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2977         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2978         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2979         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2980         is found in operator position in a frame.
2981
2982         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2983         by default.
2984
2985         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2986         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2987         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2988
2989         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2990
2991         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2992
2993         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2994
2995         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2996
2997 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2998
2999         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3000
3001         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3002         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3003
3004         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3005         so they'll get distributed.
3006
3007         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3008         should see as little clutter as possible.
3009         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3010         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3011         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3012
3013         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3014         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3015         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3016         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3017         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3018         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3019         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3020         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3021         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3022         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3023         that are not.
3024         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3025         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3026
3027         * test.scm: New file.
3028
3029         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3030         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3031         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3032
3033         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3034         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3035
3036         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3037         work now.
3038         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3039         call %load-announce.
3040
3041 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3042
3043         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3044         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3045         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3046         components.
3047         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3048
3049 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3050
3051         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3052         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3053         SCSH (which this isn't).
3054
3055 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3056
3057         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3058
3059 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3060
3061         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3062         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3063         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3064         these.
3065         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3066         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3067         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3068         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3069         save-stack.
3070
3071 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3072
3073         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3074
3075         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3076
3077         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3078         error-catching-loop.
3079         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3080         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3081         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3082
3083         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3084         error-catching-loop.
3085
3086 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3087
3088         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3089         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3090         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3091         should be '(), not #f.
3092
3093         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3094         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3095
3096 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3097
3098         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3099         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3100         error-signal.
3101
3102 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3103
3104         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3105         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3106         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3107         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3108
3109 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3110
3111         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3112
3113 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3114
3115         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3116
3117         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3118         throw-handler-default.
3119         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3120         reported.
3121         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3122         acro.
3123         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3124         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3125
3126 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3127
3128         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3129         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3130         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3131         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3132
3133 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3134
3135         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3136         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3137         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3138         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3139         ...))
3140         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3141         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3142         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3143         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3144         file-is-directory?
3145
3146 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3147
3148         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3149
3150         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3151         distribution.
3152
3153         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3154         `switch-repl'.
3155
3156         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3157
3158 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3159
3160         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3161         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3162
3163 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3164
3165         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3166
3167         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3168
3169 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3170
3171         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3172         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3173         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3174         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3175         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3176
3177         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3178         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3179         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3180         they seem redundant.
3181         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3182         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3183         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3184         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3185         directly files starting with "/").
3186         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3187         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3188
3189         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3190
3191 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3192
3193         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3194         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3195         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3196         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3197         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3198         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3199         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3200         robust to just do it in the C code.
3201
3202 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3203
3204         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3205         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3206         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3207         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3208         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3209
3210 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3211
3212         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3213         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support

3266         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3267         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
