   2
   3         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
   4         Jacques A. Vidrine.
   5
   6 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   7
   8         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
   9         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
  10         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
  11
  12         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
  13         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
  14         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
  15         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
  16         actual documentation entries themselves.
  17
  18 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  19
  20         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
  21
  22 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  23
  24         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
  25
  26 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  27
  28         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
  29         Convert first argument to a string.
  30
  31         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
  32         getter-and-setter-syntax,
  33         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
  34         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
  35
  36         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
  39
  40 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  41
  42         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
  43
  44 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  45
  46         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
  47         `symbol-append'.
  48         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
  49         args.
  50         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
  51         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
  52         even worked...  /mdj.
  53         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
  54         `symbol->string'.
  55         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
  56         semantics.
  57
  58 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  59
  60         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
  61         form set!.
  62
  63 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  64
  65         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
  66         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
  67
  68 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  69
  70         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
  71

  80
  81 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  82
  83         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
  84         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
  85         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
  86         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
  87         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
  88
  89         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
  90
  91 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  92
  93         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
  94         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
  95
  96         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
  97         syntactic bindings.
  98
  99         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 100         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 101         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 102         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 103
 104         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 105
 106         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 107         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 108
 109         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 110
 111         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 112         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 113
 114 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 115
 116         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 117         definition of module-type.
 118
 119         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 120
 121         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 122
 123         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 124         lines.
 125         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 126         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 127
 128 >>>>>>> 1.341
 129 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 130
 131         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 132
 133 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 134
 135         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 136         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 137         Mikael for the suggestion.
 138
 139 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 140
 141         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 142         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 143
 144 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 145
 146         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 147         for export args.
 148
 149 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 150
 151         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 152
 153 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 154
 155         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 156         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 157         for the hint.
 158
 159         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 160         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 161         tail recursive yet.
 162
 163 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 164
 165         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 166         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 167
 168         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 169         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 170         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 171         See NEWS.
 172         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 173
 174         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 175
 176 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 177
 178         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 179         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 180
 181 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 182
 183         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 184         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 185
 186 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 187
 188         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 189         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 190
 191 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 192
 193         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 194
 195         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 196
 197         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 198
 199 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 200
 201         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 202         '() instead of #f.
 203         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 204         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 205         `the-root-module'.
 206         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 207
 208         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 209         documentation.scm.
 210
 211         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 212         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 213         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 214         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 215         (help): Rewritten.
 216
 217         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 218
 219         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 220
 221 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 224         (write-all): Removed.
 225         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 226         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 227
 228 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 229
 230         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 231         `proc-documentation'
 232
 233         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 234         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 235         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 236         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 237         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 238         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 239         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 240         getter...)
 241
 242 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 243
 244         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 245
 246 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 247
 248         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 249         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 250         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 251         closure.
 252
 253 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 254
 255         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 256         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 257         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 258         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 259         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 260         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 261         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 262
 263 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 264
 265         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 266         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 267
 268 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 269
 270         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 271         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 272
 273 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 274
 275         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 276         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 277         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 278         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 279         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 280         delete-if! when iterating.
 281
 282 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 283
 284         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 285
 286 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 287
 288         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 289
 290 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 291
 292         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 293         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 294         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 295         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 296
 297 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 298
 299         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 300         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 301
 302 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 303
 304         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 305         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 306         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 307         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 308
 309 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 310
 311         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 312         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 313
 314 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 315
 316         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 317         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 318
 319 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 320
 321         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 322         Dirk Hermann!
 323
 324 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 325
 326         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 327         source of the numerous very short changes.
 328
 329 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 330
 331         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 332         public.
 333
 334         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 335         info pages.
 336
 337 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 338
 339         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 340         from slib docs.
 341
 342 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 343
 344         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 345         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 346
 347 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 348
 349         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 350         to string-append.
 351
 352 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 353
 354         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 355         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 356         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 357
 358 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 359
 360         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 361         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 362         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 363         Narazaki for this change.
 364
 365 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 366
 367         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 368         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 369         %S.
 370
 371         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 372         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 373
 374 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 375
 376         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 377         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 378
 379 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 380

 386
 387         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 388         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 389         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

 419
 420         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 421         script to create generated files like this one.
 422
 423 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 424
 425         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 426         available before using getpw and getuid.
 427         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.

 431         check for .guile, instead of stat.

 433         available.
 434         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 435         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 436         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 437
 438         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 439         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 440
 441         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 442
 443 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

 468         Badros.)
 469
 470 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 471
 472         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 473         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 474

 476
 477         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 492
 493         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

 497
 498 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 501         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.

 503         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 504
 505         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 506         argument.
 507
 508         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 509         both forward and backward views of the stack
 510         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 511         Use selector `frame-number';
 512         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 513         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.

 516
 517 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 518
 519         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 520         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 521         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 522
 523         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 524         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 525         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 526
 527 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 528
 529         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 530
 531         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 532
 533         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 534
 535         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 536
 537 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 538
 539         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 540         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 541         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 542         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 543         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 544         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 545         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 546         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 547         libguile-config-stamp.
 548         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 549         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 550         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 551         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 552         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 553
 554 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 555
 556         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 557         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 558         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 559
 560         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 561         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 562         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 563         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 564         readline.
 565
 566         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 567
 568 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 569
 570         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 571
 572 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 575         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 576
 577 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 578
 579         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 580         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 581         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 582         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 583         objects starting with '#/'.
 584
 585 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 586
 587         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 588         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 589         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 590         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 591         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 592         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 593         `observer-id'.
 594         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 595         module-modified): New procedures.
 596         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 597         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 598
 599 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 600
 601         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 602         defines.
 603
 604 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 605
 606         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 607         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 608         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 609
 610         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 611         position.
 612
 613 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 616         at multiple calls to read.
 617         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 618         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 619         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 620         continued-lines prompt.
 621
 622         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 623         reading expressions.
 624
 625 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 626
 627         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 628         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 629
 630 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 631
 632         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 633         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 634         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 635
 636         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 637
 638         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 639         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 640
 641         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 642         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 643         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 644         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 645         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 646         instead of a port.
 647
 648 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 649
 650         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 651         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 652
 653         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 654
 655         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 656         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 657         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 658         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 659
 660         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 661
 662         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 663
 664         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 665         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 666         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 667         an alist.
 668
 669         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 670
 671         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 672         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 673         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 674         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 675         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 676         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 677         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 678         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 679         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 680         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 681         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 682
 683         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 684
 685         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 686         peeked from the stream.
 687         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 688         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 689         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 690
 691         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 694         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 695
 696         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 697
 698         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 699         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 700         exiting repl with single control-D.
 701
 702         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 703
 704         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 705         error catching loop after quit received.
 706         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 707
 708         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 709         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 710         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 713         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 714         boot-9.scm.
 715         * popen.scm: new file.
 716
 717 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 718
 719        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 720        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 721
 722 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 723
 724         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 725         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 726
 727 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 728
 729         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 730         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 731         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 732         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 733         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 734
 735 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 738
 739         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 740         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 741
 742         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 743         Guile's module system.
 744
 745         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 746         changes:
 747         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 748         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 749         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 750         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 751         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 752         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 753         modern CL behavior.
 754         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 755         '() when the condition is false.
 756
 757 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 758
 759         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 760
 761 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 762
 763         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 764
 765 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 768         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 769         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 770
 771 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 772
 773         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 774         argument order for hash-fold.
 775
 776 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 777
 778         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 779         resolve-module.
 780         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 781         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 782
 783         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 784         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 785         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 786         has been added to the load path).
 787
 788         Use try-load-module.
 789
 790 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 791
 792         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 793         module between system and user state.
 794
 795 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 796
 797         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 798
 799         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 800         definition.
 801
 802 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 805         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 806         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 807
 808 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 809
 810         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 811         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 812         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 813         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 814         stack frame encountered.
 815
 816         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 817         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 818         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 819         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 820         list).]
 821
 822         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 823         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 824         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 825         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 826         please tell me!]
 827
 828         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 829         define-module switches:
 830
 831         (define-module (foo)
 832           :no-backtrace)
 833
 834         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 835         modules.
 836
 837         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 838         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 839         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 840         module it is a system frame.
 841
 842         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 843         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 844         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 845         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 846         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 847
 848         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 849         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 850         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 851         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 852         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 853         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 854
 855         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 856         status of a module.;
 857         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 858         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 859
 860         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 861         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 862         closure to the module.
 863
 864         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 865
 866 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 867
 868         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 869
 870 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 871
 872         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 873
 874 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 875
 876         Fix from Russ McManus:
 877         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 878         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 879         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 880         either an optional or required value.
 881
 882 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 883
 884         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 885
 886         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 887         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 888
 889         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 890         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 891         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 892         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 893
 894 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 895
 896         * optargs.scm: New file.
 897         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 898         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 899
 900 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 901
 902         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 903         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 904         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 905
 906 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 907
 908         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 909         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 910         for isn't loaded.
 911
 912 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 913
 914         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 915
 916 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 917
 918         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 919         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 920         applied to the module itself.
 921
 922 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 923
 924         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 925
 926         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 927         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 928
 929 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 930
 931         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 932
 933 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 934
 935         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 936
 937 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 938
 939         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 940         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 941
 942 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 945         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 946         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 947         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 948         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 949         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 950         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 951
 952 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 955         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 956
 957 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 958
 959         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 960         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 961         static libraries.
 962
 963 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 964
 965         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 966
 967 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 968
 969         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 970
 971 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 972
 973         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 974         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 975         adapt to the new hooks.
 976
 977 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 978
 979         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 980         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 981         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 982         code.
 983         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 984         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 985
 986         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 987         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 988         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 989         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 990         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 991         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 992         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 993         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 994         first to register linked modules.
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 997         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 998         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 999
1000         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1001         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1002         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1003         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1004
1005         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1006         to use from C:
1007         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1008         libguile/feature.c.
1009
1010         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1011         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1012         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1013
1014 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1015
1016         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1017         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1018         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1019
1020 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1021
1022         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1023         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1024         result of the last form.
1025
1026 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1029         syncase.scm.
1030
1031         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1034         readline-set!: New options interface.
1035
1036         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1037
1038 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1039
1040         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1041         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1042
1043 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1044
1045         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1046         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1047
1048 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1049
1050         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1051         interactive session.
1052         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1053
1054         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1055         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1056
1057 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1058
1059         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1060
1061 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1062
1063         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1064         read line was empty.
1065
1066 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1067
1068         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1069         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1070
1071         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1072
1073         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1074         problem.  Duh.
1075         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1076         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1077         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1080         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1081         into...
1082         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1083         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1084         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1085
1086         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1087         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1088         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1089         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1090         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1091         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1092         psyntax.ss.
1093         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1094
1095         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1096         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1097
1098 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1099
1100         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1101         and short vectors #h(...).
1102
1103 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1104
1105         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1106         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1107         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1108
1109 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1110
1111         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1112         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1113         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1114
1115 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1116
1117         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1118         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1119
1120         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1121         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1122         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1123         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1124
1125 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1126
1127         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1128         trace flag.
1129
1130         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1131         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1132         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1133         context with traps enabled.
1134
1135 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1136
1137         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1138         module.
1139         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1140
1141 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1144         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1145         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1146         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1147         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1148
1149 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1150
1151         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1152         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1153
1154 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1155
1156         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1157
1158 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1159
1160         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1161
1162 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1163
1164         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1165
1166 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1167
1168         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1169         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1170
1171 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1172
1173         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1174         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1175         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1176         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1177         Archibald.)
1178
1179         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1180         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1181         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1182
1183 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1184
1185         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1186         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1187         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1188         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1189         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1190         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1191         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1192
1193 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1194
1195         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1196
1197 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198
1199         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1200         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1201         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1202         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1203         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1204         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1205
1206 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1207
1208         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1209         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1210         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1211         Steven G. Johnson.)
1212
1213 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1214
1215         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1216
1217 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1218
1219         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1220
1221 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1222
1223         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1224         be completed.
1225
1226 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1227
1228         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1229
1230 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1231
1232         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1233         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1234
1235 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1236
1237         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1238         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1239         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1240         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1241         transformer.
1242         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1243         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1244
1245 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1246
1247         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1248
1249 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1250
1251         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1252         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1253         completion.
1254
1255         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1256         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1257
1258         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1259         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1260         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1261
1262         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1263
1264 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1265
1266         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1267
1268         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1269         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1270
1271 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1272
1273         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1274
1275 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1276
1277         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1278         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1279
1280         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1281
1282         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1283         obsolete.
1284
1285 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1286
1287         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1288         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1289
1290 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1291
1292         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1293
1294 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1295
1296         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1297         Stachowiak.)
1298
1299 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1300
1301         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1302         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1303         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1304         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1305         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1306         threads.
1307
1308 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1309
1310         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1311         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1312         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1313
1314 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1315
1316         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1317
1318         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1319         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1320
1321 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1324         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1325         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1326         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1327         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1328         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1329         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1330         to go here.
1331
1332 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1333
1334         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1335         is now a fluid.
1336
1337 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1338
1339         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1340         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1341         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1342         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1343         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1344         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1345
1346 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1349         usefully so they will work from a script.
1350
1351 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1352
1353         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1354         neighborhood of the record code.
1355
1356 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1357
1358         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1359         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1360         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1361         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1362
1363 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1364
1365         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1366         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1367         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1368
1369 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1370
1371         Add support for readline function.
1372         * readline.scm: New module.
1373         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1374         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1375         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1376         anything.
1377         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1378         repl-reader to use them.
1379         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1380
1381         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1382
1383 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1384
1385         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1386         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1387
1388 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1389
1390         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1391         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1392         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1393
1394 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1395
1396         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1397         #f, abort terminates the process.
1398         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1399         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1400
1401 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1402
1403         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1404         print-state, throw it away.
1405
1406 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1409         `0'.
1410
1411 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1412
1413         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1414         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1415         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1416         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1417         user field).
1418         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1419         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1420
1421 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1422
1423         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1424
1425 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1426
1427         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1428         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1429         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1430         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1431         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1432         boot-9.scm.
1433         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1434         distribution and installation.
1435         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1436
1437 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1438
1439         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1440
1441 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1442
1443         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1444         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1445         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1446
1447         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1448         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1449         symbol.
1450
1451 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1452
1453         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1456
1457 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1458
1459         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1460         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1461         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1462         field a separate argument.
1463
1464         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1465
1466 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1467
1468         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1469
1470         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1471         vicinity;
1472         Provide defmacro.

1479
1480         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1481         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1482         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1483         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1484         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1485         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1486         registered.
1487         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1488         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1489         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1490         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1491         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1492         link a .so-file.

1504
1505         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1506
1507         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1508         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1509         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1510         expansion inside the slib module.
1511
1512         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1520         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1521
1522         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1523         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1524         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1525         source.
1526         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1527         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1528         been loaded.
1529
1530 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1537         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1539         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1540         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1541         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1542         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1543         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1544         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1545         module.
1546         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1547
1548 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1549
1550         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1551
1552         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1553         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1554         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1555         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1556         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1557
1558         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1559         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1560         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1561         syncase macros.
1562         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1563         the syncase interface.
1564
1565 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1566
1567         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1568         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1569         workings of the current module system).
1570
1571 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1572
1573         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1574         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1582
1583 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1584
1585         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1586         according to the following priorities:
1587         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1588         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1589         3. tcl bindings
1590         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1591         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1592         (new-interpreter): New function.
1593
1594         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1595         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1596         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1597

1607

1613
1614         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1615         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1616         source!
1617
1618 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1625         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1626         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1627         in stack-ref).
1628
1629         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1630         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1631         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1632         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1633         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1634         result protocol;

1647
1648 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1649
1650         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1651         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1652         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1653
1654         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1655
1656         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1657         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1658         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

1668         cstime.
1669

1671
1672         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1673         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1674         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1675
1676         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1677         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1678         the top.
1679
1680         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1681         order to narrow it correctly.

1686         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1687         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1688
1689 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1690
1691         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1692
1693 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1694
1695         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1696         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1697
1698 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1699
1700         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1701         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1702         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1703
1704 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1716
1717 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1718
1719         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1720         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1721         a default of /.
1722
1723         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1724
1725 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1726
1727         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1728         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1729         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1735
1736         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1737         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1738         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1739         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1740         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1741         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1742
1743         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1744         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1745         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1746         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1747
1748 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1749
1750         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1751         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1752         sending in bug reports.
1753         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1754         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1755         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1756         display a warning if the two are different.
1757         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1758         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1759         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1760
1761 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1767         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1768         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1769
1770         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1771         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1772         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1773         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1774         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1775         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1776         that's okay.
1777
1778         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1779         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1780         regexp interface.
1781
1782         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1783         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1784
1785         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1786         function names.
1787
1788         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1789         fixes.
1790

1792
1793         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1794         ../configure.in.
1795
1796 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1797
1798         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1799         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1800
1801 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1802
1803         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1804         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1805         to support printing of structures.
1806         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1807         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1808         commented out printing code.
1809         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1810         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1811
1812 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1813
1814         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1815
1816 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1817
1818         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1819         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1820         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1821         during call to scm-style-repl.
1822
1823 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1824
1825         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1826         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1827         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1828         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1829         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1830
1831 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1832
1833         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1834         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1835         (ice-9 regex).
1836
1837 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1838
1839         * regex.scm: New file.
1840         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1841         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1842
1843 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1844
1845         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1846         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1847         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

1851
1852         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1853         in 1997.
1854
1855 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1856
1857         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1858         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1859         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1860
1861 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1862
1863         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1864         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1865         here.
1866
1867 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1868
1869         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1870
1871 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1872
1873         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1874
1875 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1876
1877         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1878         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1879         fixes this too.
1880
1881 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1882
1883         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1884         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1885         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1886
1887 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1888
1889         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1890         the Scheme code like code yet.
1891         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1892
1893 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1894
1895         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1896         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1897         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1898
1899 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1900
1901         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1902         use-modules macro
1903         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1904         can't be found.
1905
1906 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1907
1908         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1909
1910 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1911
1912         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1913
1914         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1915         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1916         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1917
1918 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1919
1920         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1921         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1922         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1923
1924         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1925         no plugins.
1926         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1927         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1928
1929 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1930
1931         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1932         functions.
1933
1934 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1935
1936         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1937
1938 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1939
1940         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1941         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1942
1943 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1944
1945         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1946         instead of in libguile.
1947         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1948         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1949
1950 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1951
1952         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1953         procedures.
1954         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1955         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1956
1957 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1958
1959         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1960         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1961
1962 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1963
1964         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1965         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1966         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1967         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1968
1969 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1970
1971         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1972         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1973
1974 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1975
1976         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1977
1978 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1979
1980         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1981         keywords and symbols.
1982
1983 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1984
1985         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1986
1987         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1988         Don't define read-sharp.
1989
1990         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1991         (read-sharp): removed.
1992         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1993         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1994
1995 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1996
1997         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1998
1999         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2000         primitive procedure.)
2001
2002         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2003         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2004
2005 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2008
2009 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2012
2013 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2014
2015         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2016         read gets EOF.
2017         * (exit): alias for quit.
2018
2019 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2020
2021         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2022         return the quit args.
2023         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2024         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2025         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2026
2027         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2028
2029 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2030
2031         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2032
2033         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2034         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2035
2036         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2037         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2038
2039         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2040         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2041         of handlers.
2042
2043 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2044
2045         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2046
2047         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2048         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2049         Change hooks to use these functions.
2050
2051         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2052         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2053         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2054         the source! :-)
2055         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2056         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2057         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2058         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2059         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2060         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2061         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2062         traced.
2063
2064         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2065         and exit-frame exceptions.
2066
2067         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2068         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2069         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2070         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2071         result; otherwise display "> ".
2072         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2073
2074         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2075         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2076         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2077         repository version runnable.
2078
2079 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2080
2081         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2082         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2083         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2084         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2085         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2086         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2087
2088 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2089
2090         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2091         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2092         and eval.
2093         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2094         "defined?".
2095         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2096         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2097
2098 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2099
2100         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2101
2102 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2103
2104         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2105         %read-sharp layer.
2106
2107 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2108
2109         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2110         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2111
2112 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2113
2114         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2115         backtrace.c.)
2116
2117 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2118
2119         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2120         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2121
2122 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2123
2124         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2125
2126         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2127         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2128         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2129         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2130         dynamic linking of modules.
2131         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2132         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2133
2134 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2135
2136         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2137
2138 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2139
2140         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2141         that's what it is.
2142
2143         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2144         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2145         was false.
2146
2147 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2150         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2151         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2152
2153 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2154
2155         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2156         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2157         yet.
2158
2159 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2160
2161         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2162         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2163         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2164
2165 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2166
2167         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2168         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2169         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2170         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2171
2172         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2173         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2174         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2175         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2176         (such as the-scm-module).
2177
2178 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2179
2180         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2181         %search-load-path.
2182
2183 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2184
2185         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2186         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2187         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2188
2189 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2190
2191         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2192         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2193         function, use it accordingly.
2194
2195 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2196
2197         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2198         function of no arguments.
2199         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2200         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2201         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2202         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2203         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2204         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2205         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2206         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2207
2208 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2209
2210         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2211         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2212
2213 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2214
2215         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2216         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2217         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2218         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2219         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2220
2221         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2222         `*features*'.
2223
2224         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2225         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2226         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2227         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2228
2229         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2230
2231         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2232
2233         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2234         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2235         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2236
2237         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2238         error.
2239
2240         Added `before-read-hook'.
2241
2242         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2243
2244         (provide): New function.
2245
2246         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2247         in backtraces.
2248
2249         (backtrace): New function.
2250
2251         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2252         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2253         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2254         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2255         is found in operator position in a frame.
2256
2257         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2258         by default.
2259
2260         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2261         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2262         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2263
2264         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2265
2266         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2267
2268         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2269
2270         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2271
2272 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2275
2276         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2277         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2278
2279         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2280         so they'll get distributed.
2281
2282         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2283         should see as little clutter as possible.
2284         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2285         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2286         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2287
2288         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2289         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2290         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2291         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2292         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2293         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2294         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2295         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2296         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2297         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2298         that are not.
2299         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2300         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2301
2302         * test.scm: New file.
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2305         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2306         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2307
2308         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2309         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2312         work now.
2313         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2314         call %load-announce.
2315
2316 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2317
2318         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2319         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2320         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2321         components.
2322         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2323
2324 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2325
2326         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2327         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2328         SCSH (which this isn't).
2329
2330 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2331
2332         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2333
2334 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2335
2336         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2337         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2338         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2339         these.
2340         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2341         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2342         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2343         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2344         save-stack.
2345
2346 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2347
2348         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2349
2350         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2351
2352         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2353         error-catching-loop.
2354         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2355         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2356         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2357
2358         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2359         error-catching-loop.
2360
2361 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2362
2363         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2364         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2365         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2366         should be '(), not #f.
2367
2368         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2369         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2370
2371 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2372
2373         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2374         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2375         error-signal.
2376
2377 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2378
2379         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2380         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2381         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2382         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2383
2384 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2385
2386         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2387
2388 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2389
2390         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2391
2392         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2393         throw-handler-default.
2394         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2395         reported.
2396         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2397         acro.
2398         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2399         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2400
2401 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2402
2403         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2404         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2405         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2406         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2407
2408 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2411         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2412         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2413         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2414         ...))
2415         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2416         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2417         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2418         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2419         file-is-directory?
2420
2421 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2422
2423         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2424
2425         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2426         distribution.
2427
2428         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2429         `switch-repl'.
2430
2431         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2432
2433 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2434
2435         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2436         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2437
2438 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2439
2440         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2443
2444 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2445
2446         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2447         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2448         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2449         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2450         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2451
2452         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2453         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2454         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2455         they seem redundant.
2456         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2457         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2458         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2459         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2460         directly files starting with "/").
2461         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2462         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2463
2464         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2465
2466 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2467
2468         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2469         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2470         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2471         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2472         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2473         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2474         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2475         robust to just do it in the C code.
2476
2477 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2478
2479         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2480         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2481         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2482         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2483         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2484
2485 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2486
2487         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2488         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2489         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2490
2491 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2492
2493         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only

2540
2541         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2542         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2543         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2544         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2545         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2582         for these.
