126 in output. (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be

224 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
225 has been removed from the core.

451 * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
452 datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
453 syntax-object, is an identifier. This was a unconvenient and

585 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public

616 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
618 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
621 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
623 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
624 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
625 Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
626 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
627 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
629 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
631 * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,
632 lineio.scm, null.scm, optargs.scm, r4rs.scm, r5rs.scm,
633 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
635 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
637 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
638 primitives. Thanks Neil!
640 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
642 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
643 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
644 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
645 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
647 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
648 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
649 since there aren't definitions for them.
651 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
652 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
654 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
656 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
657 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
659 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
661 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
662 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
664 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
666 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
667 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
668 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
670 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
672 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
674 * tags.scm: Removed file.
676 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
678 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
679 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
681 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
682 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
683 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
686 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
688 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
689 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
691 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
693 * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
694 Don't reset trace-level to 0.
696 * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
697 apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler. (They're replaced by
698 evaluator trap options.)

710 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
712 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
714 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
715 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
717 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
720 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
721 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
722 No longer require `pretty-print'.
724 (slib:error): Delete.
725 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
727 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
732 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
736 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
738 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
739 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
740 rdelim) module. See below.
742 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
744 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
745 include-deprecated-features is true.
747 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
749 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
752 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
753 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
754 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
756 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
757 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
758 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
761 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
763 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
764 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
765 variable, not just a visible one.
766 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
767 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
768 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
769 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
770 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
771 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
773 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
775 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
776 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
778 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
780 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
781 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
783 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
785 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
787 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
789 Added exception notice to all files.
791 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
792 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
793 importing bindings once in a while.
795 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
797 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
798 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
799 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
800 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
801 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
802 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
803 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
804 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
806 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
807 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
809 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
811 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
812 fix command so that it works.
814 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
815 to access unbound variables.
817 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
818 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
819 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
820 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
821 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
823 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
825 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
826 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
827 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
828 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
829 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
830 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
831 argument for process-define-module.
832 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
833 arguments for process-use-modules.
834 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
836 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
838 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
839 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
840 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
843 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
844 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
845 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
847 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
849 2001-05-23 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

877 * match.scm: Likewise.
878 * expect.scm: Likewise.
879 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
881 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
883 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
885 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
887 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
888 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
889 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
890 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
891 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
892 element list when adding "." to it.
893 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
894 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
896 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

900 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
901 now accepts arg; update callers.
902 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
903 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
905 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
906 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
907 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
908 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
909 `search-documentation-files'.
910 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
911 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
912 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
914 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
915 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
917 (find-documentation): Delete.

923 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
924 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

938 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
940 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
942 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with

949 (root-module-closure): Removed.
950 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
951 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
952 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
953 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
954 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
955 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
956 (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
957 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
958 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
959 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
960 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
961 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
962 `set-current-module' call.
963 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
964 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

1004 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1005 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1006 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

1011 * q.scm, runq.scm, getopt-long.scm: Update copyright.
1012 Surround commentary w/ standard markers; nfc.

1191 2001-03-10 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1193 * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): New, more general
1194 buffered input procedure. Does not assume that a newline
1195 character should be interpolated between chunks of input returned
1197 (make-line-buffered-input-port): Redefine in terms of
1198 make-buffered-input-port.
1200 2001-03-09 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1202 * match.scm: Don't export defstruct. Use (unquote defstruct) instead.
1204 2001-03-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1206 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Added rule for producing psyntax.pp.

1220 * buffered-input.scm (make-line-buffered-input-port): Don't set
1221 the continuation flag for leading whitespace. Thanks to Dirk
1222 Herrmann for the suggestion.
1224 2001-03-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1226 * optargs.scm (rest-arg->keyword-binding-list): Use "'()" instead
1229 * buffered-input.scm: New file, with guts of line buffered input
1230 port implementation extracted from guile-readline/readline.scm.
1232 2001-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1234 * stack-catch.scm: New file.
1236 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added stack-catch.scm.
1238 2001-03-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1240 * boot-9.scm, rdelim.scm: Use "'()" instead of "()" in all places
1241 where the empty list is meant.
1243 2001-02-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1245 * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
1246 cutting. Makes backtraces work again! Also added a reference to
1247 save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval

1252 * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
1253 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.
1255 2001-02-16 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1257 * boot-9.scm (eval-when, eval-case): Renamed `eval-when' to
1258 `eval-case', everywhere.
1260 2001-02-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1262 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
1263 `interaction-evironment'.
1264 (define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
1266 (eval-when): New macro.
1267 (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
1268 restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
1269 (define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
1271 (process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the
1273 (define-module): Simply call `process-define-module' without any
1274 fuss (but only on top-level).
1275 (named-module-use!): New function.
1276 (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'. Use equivalent low-level
1279 2001-02-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1281 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of
1283 (define-public): Do not use `eval'.
1285 2001-02-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1287 * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
1288 `current-error-port'.
1290 2001-02-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1292 Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
1295 * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
1296 `and-let-star.scm'. Updated module name as well.
1297 * and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
1298 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
1300 (install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
1301 "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
1302 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
1304 2001-01-26 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1306 This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1307 the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1309 * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): New macro. Allows to
1310 conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1312 (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1313 readline-set!): Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1315 2001-01-24 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1317 * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here. it's done
1319 * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1320 * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1322 2001-01-21 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1324 * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1325 * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1326 read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1327 scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1328 * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1330 * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1331 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
1333 2000-12-29 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1335 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
1336 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
1337 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1338 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1339 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1340 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1341 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1343 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1345 * session.scm (apropos): Completed the last patch, which did only
1346 half the job. Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1348 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1350 * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold): There are no weak bindings
1353 2000-12-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1355 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1358 2000-12-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1360 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1362 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1364 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1365 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1366 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1367 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1368 split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1369 split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,

1371 split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1372 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1373 string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1374 sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1375 sans-final-newline): Use substring instead of
1376 make-shared-substring.
1378 2000-11-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1380 * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1381 removed. values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1382 the other two were only exported by accident. don't define
1383 *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1386 2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1388 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
1389 and open-output-pipe.
1391 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1393 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1394 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1395 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
1396 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
1397 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1398 Pirotte for the bug report).
1399 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1400 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1402 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1404 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.
1405 Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

1414 accept symbol arguments any more. Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1417 2000-09-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1419 * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f. thanks to
1422 2000-09-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1424 * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1425 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1426 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1428 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1429 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1430 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1431 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1432 actual documentation entries themselves.
1434 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1436 * boot-9.scm: Removed comment. (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
1438 2000-09-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1440 * syncase.scm (putprop): Use the high-level property interface.
1442 2000-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

1448 getter-and-setter-syntax,
1449 delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
1450 argument. (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
1452 * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
1454 * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
1456 2000-08-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1458 * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
1460 2000-08-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1462 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1464 (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1466 (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed. I don't
1467 think I'll announce this in NEWS even. One of the functions never
1468 even worked... /mdj.
1469 (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1471 (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1474 2000-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1492 2000-08-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1494 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive. (Thanks to
1497 2000-08-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1499 * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1500 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1501 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1502 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1503 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
1505 * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
1507 2000-08-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1509 * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition. (Is now
1510 provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1512 * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1515 * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1516 record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
1517 (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto. (This is actually a bugfix!)
1518 (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
1520 * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
1522 * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
1523 (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
1525 * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
1527 * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
1528 (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
1530 2000-08-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1532 * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
1533 definition of module-type.
1535 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
1537 * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
1539 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
1541 (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
1542 *after* all used interfaces has been added.
1544 2000-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1546 * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to thi!
1548 2000-07-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1550 * boot-9.scm (expt): In case of negative integer exponents return
1551 an exact result if the input paramters were exact. Thanks to
1552 Mikael for the suggestion.
1554 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1556 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
1557 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
1559 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1561 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
1564 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1566 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
1568 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1570 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
1571 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
1574 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
1575 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
1578 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1580 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
1581 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
1583 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
1584 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
1585 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
1587 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
1589 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.

1593 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1594 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1596 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1598 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1599 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1601 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1603 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
1604 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1606 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1608 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1610 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1612 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1614 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1616 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1618 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1619 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1621 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1623 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1626 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1627 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1628 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1629 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1632 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1634 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1636 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1638 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1639 (write-all): Removed.
1640 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1641 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1643 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1645 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1646 `proc-documentation'
1648 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1649 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1650 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1651 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1652 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1653 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1654 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1657 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1659 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1661 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1663 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1664 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1665 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1668 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1670 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1671 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1672 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1673 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1674 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1675 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1676 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1678 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1680 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1681 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1683 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1685 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1686 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1688 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1690 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1691 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1692 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1693 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1694 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1695 delete-if! when iterating.
1697 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1699 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1701 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1703 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1705 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1707 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1708 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1709 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1710 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1712 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1714 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1715 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1717 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1719 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1720 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1721 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1722 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)

1726 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1727 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1729 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1731 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1732 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1734 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1736 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1739 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1741 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1742 source of the numerous very short changes.
1744 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1746 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1749 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1752 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1754 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1757 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1759 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1760 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1762 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1764 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1767 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1769 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1770 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1771 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1773 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1775 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1776 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1777 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1778 Narazaki for this change.
1780 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1782 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1783 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1786 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1787 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1789 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1791 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1792 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1794 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1796 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1797 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1798 use define-public to export from the module.
1800 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1802 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1803 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1804 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1806 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1808 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1810 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1812 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1813 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1815 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1817 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1819 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1821 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1823 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1825 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1826 long_long uniform vectors.
1828 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1830 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1831 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1833 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1835 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1836 script to create generated files like this one.
1838 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1840 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1841 available before using getpw and getuid.
1842 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1843 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1845 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1846 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1847 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1849 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1850 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1851 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1853 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1854 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1856 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1858 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1860 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1861 than 'exit-debugger.
1863 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1864 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1866 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1868 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1870 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1871 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1872 ("position"): New command.
1873 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1874 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1875 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1876 to return a valid state.)
1877 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1879 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1881 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1882 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1885 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1887 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1888 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1890 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1892 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1894 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1896 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1897 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1899 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1900 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1901 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1903 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1906 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1908 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1909 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1911 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1913 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1915 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1916 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1917 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1918 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1920 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1923 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1924 both forward and backward views of the stack
1925 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1926 Use selector `frame-number';
1927 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1928 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1930 Use readline conditionally.
1932 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1934 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1935 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1936 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1938 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1939 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1942 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1944 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1946 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1948 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1950 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1952 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1954 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1955 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1956 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1957 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1958 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1959 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1960 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1961 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1962 libguile-config-stamp.
1963 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1964 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1965 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1966 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1967 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1969 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1971 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1972 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1973 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1975 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1976 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1977 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1978 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1981 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1983 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1985 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1987 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1989 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1990 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1992 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1994 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1995 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1996 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1997 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1998 objects starting with '#/'.
2000 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2002 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2003 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2004 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2005 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2006 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2007 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2009 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2010 module-modified): New procedures.
2011 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2012 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2014 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2016 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2019 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2021 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2022 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2023 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2025 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2028 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2030 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2031 at multiple calls to read.
2032 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2033 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2034 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2035 continued-lines prompt.
2037 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2038 reading expressions.
2040 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2042 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2043 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2045 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2047 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2048 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
2051 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2053 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2054 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2056 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2057 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
2058 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2059 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2060 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2063 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2065 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2066 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2068 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2070 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
2071 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
2072 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2073 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2075 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2077 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2079 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
2080 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2081 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
2084 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2086 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2087 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
2088 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2089 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2090 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
2091 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2092 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2093 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2094 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
2095 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2096 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
2098 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2100 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2101 peeked from the stream.
2102 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2103 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2104 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2106 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2108 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2109 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2111 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2113 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2114 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
2115 exiting repl with single control-D.
2117 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2119 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2120 error catching loop after quit received.
2121 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2123 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2124 primitive exit if non-interactive.
2125 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2127 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2128 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2130 * popen.scm: new file.
2132 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2134 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
2135 (reverse-iota): removed.
2137 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2139 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2140 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2142 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2144 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2145 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2146 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2147 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2148 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2150 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2152 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2154 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2155 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2157 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2158 Guile's module system.
2160 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2162 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2163 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2164 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2165 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
2166 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2167 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2169 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2170 '() when the condition is false.
2172 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2174 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2176 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2178 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2180 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2182 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2183 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2184 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2186 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2188 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2189 argument order for hash-fold.
2191 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2193 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
2195 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2196 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2198 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2199 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2200 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2201 has been added to the load path).
2203 Use try-load-module.
2205 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2207 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
2208 module between system and user state.
2210 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2212 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2214 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2217 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2219 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2220 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2221 system can create a wrapper class for it.
2223 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2225 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2226 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
2227 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2228 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2229 stack frame encountered.
2231 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2232 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2233 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2234 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2237 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2238 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2239 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2240 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
2243 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2244 define-module switches:
2246 (define-module (foo)
2249 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2252 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2253 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2254 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
2255 module it is a system frame.
2257 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2258 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2259 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2260 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
2261 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2263 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2264 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
2265 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2266 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2267 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
2268 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2270 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2271 status of a module.;
2272 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2273 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2275 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2276 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2277 closure to the module.
2279 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2281 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2283 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2285 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2287 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2289 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2291 Fix from Russ McManus:
2292 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2293 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2294 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2295 either an optional or required value.
2297 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2299 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2301 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2302 of the '() key, not `rest'.
2304 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2305 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2306 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2307 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2309 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2311 * optargs.scm: New file.
2312 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2313 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2315 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2317 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2318 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2319 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2321 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2323 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2324 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2327 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2329 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2331 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2333 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2334 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2335 applied to the module itself.
2337 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2339 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2341 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
2342 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2344 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2346 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2348 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2350 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2352 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2354 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2355 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2357 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2359 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2360 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2361 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2362 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2363 among BINDINGS is referenced.
2364 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
2365 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2367 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2369 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2370 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2372 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
2374 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2375 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2378 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2380 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2382 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2384 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2386 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2388 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2389 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2390 adapt to the new hooks.
2392 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2394 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2395 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
2396 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2398 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2399 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2401 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2402 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2403 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2404 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2405 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2406 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2407 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2408 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2409 first to register linked modules.
2411 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2412 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2413 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2415 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2416 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2417 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2418 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2420 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2422 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2425 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2426 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2427 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2429 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2431 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2432 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2433 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2435 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2437 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
2438 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2439 result of the last form.
2441 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2443 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2446 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2448 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2449 readline-set!: New options interface.
2451 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2453 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2455 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2456 at the end of boot-9.scm.
2458 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2460 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2461 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2463 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2465 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2466 interactive session.
2467 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2469 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2470 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2472 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2474 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2476 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2478 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2479 read line was empty.
2481 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2483 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2484 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2486 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2488 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2490 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2491 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2492 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2494 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2495 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2497 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2498 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2499 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2501 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2502 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2503 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2504 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2505 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2506 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2508 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2510 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2511 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2513 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2515 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2516 and short vectors #h(...).
2518 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2520 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2521 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2522 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2524 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2526 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2527 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2528 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2530 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2532 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2533 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2535 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2536 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2537 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2538 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2540 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2542 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2545 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2546 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2547 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2548 context with traps enabled.
2550 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2552 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2554 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2556 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2558 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2559 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2560 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2561 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2562 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2564 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2566 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2567 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2569 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2571 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2573 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2575 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2577 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2579 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2581 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2583 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2584 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2586 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2588 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2589 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2590 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2591 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2594 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2595 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2596 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2598 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2600 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2601 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2602 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2603 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2604 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2605 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2606 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2608 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2610 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2612 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2614 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2615 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2616 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2617 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2618 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2619 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2621 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2623 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2624 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2625 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2628 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2630 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2632 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2634 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2636 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2638 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2641 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2643 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2645 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2647 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2648 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2650 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2652 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2653 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2654 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2655 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2657 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2658 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2660 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2662 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2664 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2666 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2667 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2670 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2671 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2673 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2674 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2675 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2677 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2679 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2681 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2683 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2684 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2686 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2688 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2690 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2692 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2693 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2695 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2697 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2700 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2702 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2703 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2705 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2707 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2709 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2711 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2714 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2716 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2717 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2718 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2719 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2720 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2723 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2725 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2726 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2727 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2729 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2731 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2733 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2734 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2736 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2738 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2739 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2740 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2741 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2742 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2743 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2744 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2747 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2749 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2752 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2754 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2755 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2756 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2757 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2758 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2759 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2761 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2763 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2764 usefully so they will work from a script.
2766 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2768 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2769 neighborhood of the record code.
2771 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2773 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2774 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2775 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2776 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2778 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2780 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2781 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2782 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2784 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2786 Add support for readline function.
2787 * readline.scm: New module.
2788 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2789 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2790 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2792 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2793 repl-reader to use them.
2794 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2796 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).

2813 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2814 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2816 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2838 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2840 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2842 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2843 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2844 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2845 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2846 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2848 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

2858 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2859 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2860 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2862 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2863 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2866 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2868 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2870 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2872 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2874 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2875 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2876 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2877 field a separate argument.
2879 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2881 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2883 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2885 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

2898 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2899 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2900 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2902 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2903 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2904 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2905 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2906 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

2920 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2922 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2923 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2924 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2925 expansion inside the slib module.
2927 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2929 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

2939 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2941 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2942 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2945 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2947 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2948 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2950 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2952 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2953 (make-module): Modified initialization.

2965 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2967 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2968 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2969 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2970 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2971 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2973 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2974 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2975 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2977 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2978 the syncase interface.
2980 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2982 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2983 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2984 workings of the current module system).
2986 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2988 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2989 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2998 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3000 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3001 according to the following priorities:
3002 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3003 2. bindings from the-scm-module
3005 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3006 disabling the scheme interpreter.
3007 (new-interpreter): New function.
3009 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3010 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3011 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
3013 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3015 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3017 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3019 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

3027 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3029 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3030 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

3035 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
3036 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

3041 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3044 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3045 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3046 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3047 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3048 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3050 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
3051 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
3053 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3055 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
3056 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
3058 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
3059 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
3061 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
3063 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3065 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3066 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.

3071 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

3073 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
3075 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3077 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

3085 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3087 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3088 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3089 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3091 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3092 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3095 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3096 order to narrow it correctly.
3097 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

3104 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3106 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3108 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3110 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3111 builtin `with-fluids*'.
3113 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3115 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3116 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
3117 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3119 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3121 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3124 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3126 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,

3132 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3134 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

3151 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3152 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3153 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
3154 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3155 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3156 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3158 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3159 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3160 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3161 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3163 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3165 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3166 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
3167 sending in bug reports.
3168 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3169 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3170 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3171 display a warning if the two are different.
3172 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3173 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3174 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3176 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3178 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3180 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3182 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3183 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3185 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3186 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3187 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3188 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3189 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3190 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3193 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
3194 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3197 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3198 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
3200 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3203 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3206 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3208 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3211 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3213 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3214 vtable and not the one of the struct.
3216 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3218 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3219 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3220 to support printing of structures.
3221 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3222 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
3223 commented out printing code.
3224 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3225 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

3234 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3235 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3236 during call to scm-style-repl.
3238 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3240 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3241 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3242 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3243 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
3244 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
3246 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3248 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3249 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3252 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3254 * regex.scm: New file.
3255 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3256 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3258 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

3261 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3262 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3263 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3265 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3267 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3270 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3272 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3273 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
3274 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3276 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3278 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3279 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3282 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3284 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3286 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3288 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3290 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3292 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3293 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3296 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3298 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3299 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3300 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
3302 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3304 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3305 the Scheme code like code yet.
3306 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3308 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3310 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3311 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
3312 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3314 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3316 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3318 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3321 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3323 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3325 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3327 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3329 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3330 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3331 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3333 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3335 Get 'make dist' to work again.
3336 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3337 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3339 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3341 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3342 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3344 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3346 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3349 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3351 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3353 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3355 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3356 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3358 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3360 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3361 instead of in libguile.
3362 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3363 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3365 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3367 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3369 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3370 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3372 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3374 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3375 sockaddr:port): new functions.
3377 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3379 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3380 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3381 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3382 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3384 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3386 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3387 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3389 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3391 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3393 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3395 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3396 keywords and symbols.
3398 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3400 * slib.scm: update read usage.
3402 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3403 Don't define read-sharp.
3405 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3406 (read-sharp): removed.
3407 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3408 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3410 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3412 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3414 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
3415 primitive procedure.)
3417 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3418 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3420 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3422 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3424 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3426 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3428 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3430 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3432 * (exit): alias for quit.
3434 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3436 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3437 return the quit args.
3438 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3439 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
3440 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3442 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3444 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3446 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3448 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3449 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3451 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3452 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3454 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3455 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3458 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3460 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3462 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3463 (add-hooks!): New macro.
3464 Change hooks to use these functions.
3466 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
3467 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3468 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3470 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3471 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3472 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3473 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
3474 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3475 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3476 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3479 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3480 and exit-frame exceptions.
3482 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3483 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3484 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3485 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3486 result; otherwise display "> ".
3487 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3489 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3490 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3491 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3492 repository version runnable.
3494 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3496 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3497 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3498 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3499 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3500 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3501 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3503 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3505 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3506 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3508 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3510 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3511 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3513 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3515 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3517 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3519 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3522 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3524 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3525 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3527 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3529 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3532 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3534 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3535 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3537 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3539 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3541 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3542 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3543 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3544 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3545 dynamic linking of modules.
3546 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3547 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3549 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3551 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3553 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3555 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3558 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3559 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3562 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3564 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3565 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3566 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3568 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3570 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3571 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3574 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3576 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3577 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3578 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3580 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3582 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3583 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3584 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3585 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3587 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3588 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3589 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3590 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3591 (such as the-scm-module).
3593 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3595 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3598 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3600 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3601 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3602 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3604 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3606 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3607 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3608 function, use it accordingly.
3610 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3612 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3613 function of no arguments.
3614 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3615 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3616 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3617 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3618 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3619 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3620 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3621 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3623 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3625 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3626 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3628 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3630 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3631 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3632 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3633 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3634 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3636 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3639 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3640 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3641 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3642 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3644 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3646 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3648 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3649 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3650 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3652 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3655 Added `before-read-hook'.
3657 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3659 (provide): New function.
3661 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3664 (backtrace): New function.
3666 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3667 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3668 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3669 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3670 is found in operator position in a frame.
3672 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3675 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3676 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3677 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3679 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3681 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3683 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3685 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3687 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3689 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3691 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3692 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3694 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3695 so they'll get distributed.
3697 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3698 should see as little clutter as possible.
3699 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3700 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3701 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3703 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3704 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3705 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3706 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3707 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3708 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3709 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3710 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3711 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3712 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3714 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3715 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3717 * test.scm: New file.
3719 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3720 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3721 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3723 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3724 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3726 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3728 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3729 call %load-announce.
3731 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3733 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3734 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3735 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3737 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3739 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3741 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3742 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3743 SCSH (which this isn't).
3745 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3747 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3749 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3751 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3752 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3753 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3755 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3756 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3757 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3758 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3761 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3763 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3765 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3767 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3768 error-catching-loop.
3769 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3770 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3771 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3773 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3774 error-catching-loop.
3776 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3778 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3779 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3780 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3781 should be '(), not #f.
3783 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3784 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3786 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3788 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3789 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3792 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3794 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3795 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3796 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3797 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3799 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3801 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3803 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3805 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3807 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3808 throw-handler-default.
3809 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3811 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3813 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3814 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3816 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3818 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3819 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3820 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3821 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3823 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3825 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3826 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3827 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3828 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3830 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3831 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3832 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3833 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3836 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3838 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3840 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3843 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3846 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3848 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3850 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3851 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3853 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3855 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3857 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3859 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3861 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3862 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3863 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3864 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3865 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3867 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3868 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3869 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3870 they seem redundant.
3871 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3872 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3873 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3874 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3875 directly files starting with "/").
3876 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3877 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3879 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3881 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3883 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3884 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3885 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3886 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3887 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3888 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3889 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3890 robust to just do it in the C code.
3892 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3894 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3895 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3896 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3897 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3898 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3900 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3902 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3903 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3904 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3906 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3908 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3909 system-error, not every kind of error.
3910 (scm-error): new procedure.
3912 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3914 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3916 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3918 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3919 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3920 of args are supplied.
3921 (%%system-errors): removed.
3922 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3923 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3924 %%handle-system-error.
3925 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3926 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3927 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3928 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3930 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3932 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3933 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3934 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3935 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3937 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3939 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3940 the empty list if they are #f.
3941 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3943 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3945 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3947 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3948 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3949 aborting, just the key and subr.
3950 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3951 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3952 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3954 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3956 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3957 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3958 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3959 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3960 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3962 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3964 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3965 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3966 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3967 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3969 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3971 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3972 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3973 initialize %load-path.
3975 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3976 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3978 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3980 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3981 Add the directory named after the version number.
3982 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3983 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3984 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3985 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3986 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3987 (install): Create the above directories.
3988 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3989 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3991 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3993 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3994 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3995 in the Makefile directly.
3996 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3998 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4000 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
4001 here, where people expect to find them.
4003 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4005 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
4006 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
4008 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
4010 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4012 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
4013 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
4015 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4017 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
4018 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
4020 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
4021 weak-key-hash-table.
4023 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4025 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
4026 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
4027 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
4028 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
4029 (%open-file): removed.
4030 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4031 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
4033 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4035 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
4036 (manifest): Deleted.
4037 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
4038 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
4040 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4042 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
4043 now that they throw errors directly.
4044 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
4045 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
4047 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4049 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
4051 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
4053 * The more things change...
