   6
   7 2001-02-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   8
   9         * and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the

  13
  14         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
  15         operating systems.
  16
  17         * and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to

  26 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  27
  28         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
  29         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
  30
  31         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
  32         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
  33
  34         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
  35         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
  36
  37 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  38
  39         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
  40         in C for now.
  41         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
  42         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
  43
  44 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  45
  46         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
  47         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
  48         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
  49         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
  50         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
  51         for now.
  52         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
  53         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
  54
  55 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  56
  57         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
  58         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
  59         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
  60         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
  61         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
  62         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
  63         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
  64
  65 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  66
  67         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
  68         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
  69
  70 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  71
  72         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
  73         any more.
  74
  75 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  76
  77         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
  78         the-root-module.
  79
  80 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  81
  82         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
  83
  84 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  85
  86         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
  87         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
  88         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
  89         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
  90         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
  91         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
  92         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
  93         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
  94         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
  95         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
  96         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
  97         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
  98         make-shared-substring.
  99
 100 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 101
 102         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 103         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 104         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 105         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 106         scm-style-repl.
 107
 108 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 109
 110         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 111         and open-output-pipe.
 112
 113 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 114
 115         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 116         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 117         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 118         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 119         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 120         Pirotte for the bug report).
 121         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 122         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
 123
 124 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 125
 126         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
 127         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
 128
 129 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 130
 131         * optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.
 132
 133 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 134
 135         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
 136         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
 137         patch.
 138
 139 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 140
 141         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 142         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 143
 144 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 145
 146         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 147         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 148         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 149
 150         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 151         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 152         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 153         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 154         actual documentation entries themselves.
 155
 156 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 157
 158         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 167         Convert first argument to a string.
 168
 169         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 170         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 171         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 172         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 173
 174         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 183
 184         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 185         `symbol-append'.

 187         args.
 188         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 189         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 190         even worked...  /mdj.
 191         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 192         `symbol->string'.
 193         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 194         semantics.
 195
 196 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 197
 198         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax

 221         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 222         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 223         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 224         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 225         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 226
 227         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 228
 229 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 230
 231         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 232         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 233
 234         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 235         syntactic bindings.
 236
 237         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 238         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 239         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 240         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 241
 242         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 250         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 251
 252 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 253
 254         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 255         definition of module-type.
 256
 257         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 258

 260
 261         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 262         lines.
 263         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 264         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 265

 267 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 272
 273         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 274         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 275         Mikael for the suggestion.
 276
 277 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 278
 279         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 280         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 281
 282 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 285         for export args.
 286
 287 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 288
 289         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 290
 291 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 292
 293         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,

 302

 305
 306         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 307         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 308         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 309         See NEWS.
 310         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 311
 312         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.

 320
 321         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).

 323
 324 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 325
 326         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 327         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 328
 329 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 330
 331         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

 336
 337 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 338
 339         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 340         '() instead of #f.
 341         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 342         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 343         `the-root-module'.
 344         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 345
 346         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 347         documentation.scm.
 348

 351         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 352         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 353         (help): Rewritten.
 354
 355         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 356
 357         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 358
 359 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 360
 361         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 362         (write-all): Removed.
 363         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 364         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 365
 366 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 367
 368         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 369         `proc-documentation'
 370
 371         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 372         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 373         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 374         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 375         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 376         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 377         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 378         getter...)

 380 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 381
 382         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 383
 384 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 385
 386         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 387         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 388         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 389         closure.
 390
 391 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 392
 393         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 394         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 395         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 396         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 397         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 398         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 399         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 400
 401 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 402
 403         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 404         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 405
 406 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 407
 408         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 409         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 410
 411 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 412
 413         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 414         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 415         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 416         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 417         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 418         delete-if! when iterating.
 419
 420 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 421
 422         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 423
 424 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 425
 426         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 427
 428 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 429
 430         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 431         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 432         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 433         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 434
 435 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 436
 437         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 438         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 439
 440 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 441
 442         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 443         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 444         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 445         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 446
 447 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 448
 449         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 450         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 451
 452 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 453
 454         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 455         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 456
 457 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 458
 459         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 460         Dirk Hermann!
 461
 462 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 463
 464         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 465         source of the numerous very short changes.
 466
 467 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 468
 469         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 470         public.
 471
 472         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 473         info pages.
 474
 475 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 476
 477         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 478         from slib docs.
 479
 480 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 481
 482         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 483         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 484
 485 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 486
 487         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 488         to string-append.
 489
 490 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 491
 492         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 493         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 494         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 495
 496 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 497
 498         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 499         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 500         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 501         Narazaki for this change.
 502
 503 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 504
 505         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 506         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 507         %S.
 508
 509         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 510         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 511
 512 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 513
 514         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 515         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 516
 517 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 518
 519         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 520         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 521         use define-public to export from the module.
 522
 523 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 524
 525         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 526         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 527         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 528
 529 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 530
 531         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 532
 533 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 534
 535         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 536         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 537
 538 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 539
 540         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 543
 544         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 545
 546 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 547
 548         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 549         long_long uniform vectors.
 550
 551 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 552
 553         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 554         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 555
 556 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 557
 558         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 559         script to create generated files like this one.
 560
 561 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 562
 563         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 564         available before using getpw and getuid.
 565         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 566         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 567         check for stat.
 568         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 569         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 570         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 571         available.
 572         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 573         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 574         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 575
 576         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 577         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 578
 579         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 580
 581 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 582
 583         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 584         than 'exit-debugger.
 585
 586         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 587         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 588
 589         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 590
 591 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 592
 593         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 594         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 595         ("position"): New command.
 596         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 597         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 598         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
 599         to return a valid state.)
 600         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 601
 602 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 603
 604         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 605         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 606         Badros.)
 607
 608 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 609
 610         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 611         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 612
 613 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 614
 615         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 616
 617         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
 620         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
 621

 623         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
 624         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 625         expression.
 626         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 627         Handle errors.
 628
 629 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 630
 631         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 632         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 633
 634         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 635
 636 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 637
 638         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 639         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 640         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 641         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 642
 643         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 644         argument.
 645
 646         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 647         both forward and backward views of the stack
 648         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 649         Use selector `frame-number';
 650         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 651         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 652         Use (ice-9 debug).
 653         Use readline conditionally.
 654
 655 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 656
 657         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 658         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 659         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 660
 661         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 662         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 663         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 664
 665 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 666
 667         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 668
 669         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 670
 671         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 672
 673         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 674
 675 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 676
 677         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 678         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 679         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 680         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 681         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 682         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 683         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 684         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 685         libguile-config-stamp.
 686         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 687         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 688         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 689         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 690         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 691
 692 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 693
 694         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 695         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 696         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 697
 698         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 699         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 700         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 701         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 702         readline.
 703
 704         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 705
 706 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 707
 708         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 709
 710 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 713         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 714
 715 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 716
 717         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 718         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 719         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 720         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 721         objects starting with '#/'.
 722
 723 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 724
 725         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 726         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 727         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 728         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 729         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 730         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 731         `observer-id'.
 732         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 733         module-modified): New procedures.
 734         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 735         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 736
 737 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 738
 739         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 740         defines.
 741
 742 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 743
 744         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 745         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 746         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 747
 748         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct

 752
 753         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 754         at multiple calls to read.
 755         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 756         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 757         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 758         continued-lines prompt.
 759
 760         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 761         reading expressions.

 763 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 764
 765         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 766         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 767
 768 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 769
 770         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 771         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 772         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

 774         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 775
 776         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 777         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 778
 779         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 780         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 781         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 782         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 783         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 784         instead of a port.
 785
 786 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 787
 788         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 789         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 790
 791         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 792
 793         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 794         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 795         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 796         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 797
 798         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 799
 800         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 801
 802         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 803         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 804         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 805         an alist.
 806
 807         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 808
 809         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 810         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 811         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 812         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 813         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 814         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 815         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 816         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 817         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 818         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 819         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 820
 821         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 822
 823         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 824         peeked from the stream.
 825         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 826         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 827         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 828
 829         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 830
 831         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 832         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 833
 834         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 837         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 838         exiting repl with single control-D.
 839
 840         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 841
 842         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 843         error catching loop after quit received.
 844         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 845
 846         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 847         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 848         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 849
 850         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 851         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 852         boot-9.scm.
 853         * popen.scm: new file.
 854
 855 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 856
 857        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 858        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 859
 860 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 861
 862         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 863         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 864
 865 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 866
 867         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 868         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 869         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 870         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 871         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 872
 873 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 874
 875         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 876
 877         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 878         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 879
 880         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 881         Guile's module system.
 882
 883         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 884         changes:
 885         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 886         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 887         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 888         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 889         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 890         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 891         modern CL behavior.
 892         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 893         '() when the condition is false.
 894
 895 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 896
 897         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 898
 899 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 900
 901         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 902
 903 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 904
 905         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 906         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 907         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 908
 909 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 910
 911         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 912         argument order for hash-fold.
 913
 914 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 915
 916         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 917         resolve-module.
 918         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 919         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 920
 921         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 922         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 923         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 924         has been added to the load path).
 925
 926         Use try-load-module.
 927
 928 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 929
 930         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 931         module between system and user state.
 932
 933 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 934
 935         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 936
 937         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 938         definition.
 939
 940 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 941
 942         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 943         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 944         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 945
 946 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 947
 948         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 949         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 950         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 951         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 952         stack frame encountered.
 953
 954         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 955         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 956         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 957         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 958         list).]
 959
 960         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 961         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 962         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 963         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 964         please tell me!]
 965
 966         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 967         define-module switches:
 968
 969         (define-module (foo)
 970           :no-backtrace)
 971
 972         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 973         modules.
 974
 975         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 976         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 977         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 978         module it is a system frame.
 979
 980         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 981         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 982         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 983         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 984         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 985
 986         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 987         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 988         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 989         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 990         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 991         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 992
 993         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 994         status of a module.;
 995         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 996         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 997
 998         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 999         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1000         closure to the module.
1001
1002         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1003
1004 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1005

1011
1012 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1013
1014         Fix from Russ McManus:
1015         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1016         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1017         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1018         either an optional or required value.
1019
1020 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1021
1022         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1023
1024         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1025         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1026
1027         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1028         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1029         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1030         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1035         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1036         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1037
1038 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1039
1040         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1041         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1042         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1043
1044 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1045
1046         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1047         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1048         for isn't loaded.
1049
1050 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1051
1052         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1053
1054 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1055
1056         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1057         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1058         applied to the module itself.
1059
1060 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1061
1062         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1063
1064         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1065         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1066
1067 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1068
1069         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1075 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1076
1077         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1078         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1079
1080 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1081
1082         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1083         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1084         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1085         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1086         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1087         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1088         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1089
1090 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1093         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1094
1095 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1096
1097         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1098         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1099         static libraries.
1100
1101 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1102
1103         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1104
1105 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1106
1107         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1108
1109 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1110
1111         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1112         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1113         adapt to the new hooks.
1114
1115 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1116
1117         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1118         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1119         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1120         code.
1121         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1122         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1123
1124         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1125         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1126         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1127         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1128         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1129         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1130         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1131         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1132         first to register linked modules.
1133
1134         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1135         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1136         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1137
1138         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1139         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1140         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1141         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1142
1143         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1144         to use from C:
1145         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1146         libguile/feature.c.
1147
1148         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1149         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1150         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1151
1152 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1153
1154         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1155         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1156         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1157
1158 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1159
1160         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1161         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1162         result of the last form.
1163
1164 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1167         syncase.scm.
1168
1169         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1170
1171         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1172         readline-set!: New options interface.
1173
1174         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1175
1176 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1177
1178         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1179         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1180
1181 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182
1183         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1184         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1185
1186 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1187
1188         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1189         interactive session.
1190         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1191
1192         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1193         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1194
1195 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1196
1197         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1198
1199 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1200
1201         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1202         read line was empty.
1203
1204 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1205
1206         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1207         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1208
1209         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1210
1211         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1212         problem.  Duh.
1213         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1214         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1215         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1216
1217         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1218         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1219         into...
1220         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1221         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1222         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1223
1224         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1225         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1226         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1227         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1228         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1229         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1230         psyntax.ss.
1231         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1232
1233         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1234         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1235
1236 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1237
1238         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1239         and short vectors #h(...).
1240
1241 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1242
1243         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1244         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1245         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1246
1247 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1248
1249         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1250         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1251         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1252
1253 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1254
1255         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1256         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1257
1258         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1259         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1260         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1261         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1262
1263 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1264
1265         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1266         trace flag.
1267
1268         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1269         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1270         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1271         context with traps enabled.
1272
1273 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1274
1275         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1276         module.
1277         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1278
1279 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1280
1281         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1282         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1283         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1284         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1285         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1286
1287 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1288
1289         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1290         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1291
1292 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1293
1294         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1295
1296 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1297
1298         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1299
1300 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1301
1302         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1303
1304 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1305
1306         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1307         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1308
1309 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1310
1311         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1312         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1313         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1314         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1315         Archibald.)
1316
1317         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1318         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1319         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1320
1321 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1324         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1325         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1326         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1327         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1328         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1329         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1330
1331 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1334
1335 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1338         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1339         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1340         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1341         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1342         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1343
1344 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1345
1346         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1347         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1348         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1349         Steven G. Johnson.)
1350
1351 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1352
1353         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1354
1355 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1356
1357         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1358
1359 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1362         be completed.
1363
1364 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1365
1366         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1367
1368 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1369
1370         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1371         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1372
1373 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1374
1375         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1376         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1377         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1378         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1379         transformer.
1380         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1381         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1382
1383 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1384
1385         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1386
1387 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1388
1389         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1390         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1391         completion.
1392
1393         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1394         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1395
1396         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1397         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1398         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1399
1400         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1401
1402 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1403
1404         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1405
1406         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1407         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1408
1409 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1410
1411         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1412
1413 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1414
1415         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1416         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1417
1418         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1419
1420         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1421         obsolete.
1422
1423 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1424
1425         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1426         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1427
1428 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1431
1432 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1433
1434         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1435         Stachowiak.)
1436
1437 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1438
1439         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1440         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1441         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1442         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1443         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1444         threads.
1445
1446 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1447
1448         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1449         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1450         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1451
1452 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1453
1454         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1455
1456         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1457         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1458
1459 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1462         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1463         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1464         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1465         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1466         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1467         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1468         to go here.

1472         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1473         is now a fluid.
1474
1475 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1476
1477         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1478         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1479         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1480         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1481         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1482         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.

1484 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1485
1486         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1487         usefully so they will work from a script.

1489 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1490
1491         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1492         neighborhood of the record code.
1493
1494 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1495
1496         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1497         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1498         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1499         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1500
1501 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1502
1503         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1504         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1505         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1506
1507 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1508
1509         Add support for readline function.
1510         * readline.scm: New module.
1511         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1512         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1513         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1514         anything.
1515         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1516         repl-reader to use them.
1517         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1518
1519         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1520
1521 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1522
1523         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1524         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1525

1527
1528         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1529         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1530         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1531
1532 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1533
1534         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1535         #f, abort terminates the process.
1536         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1537         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1538
1539 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1540
1541         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1542         print-state, throw it away.
1543
1544 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1545
1546         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of

1549 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1550
1551         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1552         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1553         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1554         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1555         user field).
1556         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1557         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1558
1559 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1560
1561         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1562
1563 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1564
1565         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1566         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1567         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1568         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1569         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1570         boot-9.scm.
1571         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1572         distribution and installation.
1573         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1578
1579 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1580
1581         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1582         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1583         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1584
1585         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1586         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1587         symbol.
1588
1589 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1598         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1599         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1600         field a separate argument.
1601
1602         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1603
1604 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1605
1606         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1607
1608         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1617
1618         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1619         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1620         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1621         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1622         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1623         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1624         registered.
1625         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1626         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1627         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1628         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1629         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1630         link a .so-file.

1642
1643         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1644
1645         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1646         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1647         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1648         expansion inside the slib module.
1649
1650         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1658         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1659
1660         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1661         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1662         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1663         source.
1664         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1665         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1666         been loaded.
1667
1668 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1675         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

1677         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1678         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1679         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1680         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1681         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1682         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1683         module.
1684         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1685
1686 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1687
1688         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1689
1690         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1691         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1692         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1693         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1694         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1697         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1698         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1699         syncase macros.
1700         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1701         the syncase interface.
1702
1703 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1704
1705         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1706         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1707         workings of the current module system).
1708
1709 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1710
1711         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1712         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1720
1721 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1722
1723         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1724         according to the following priorities:
1725         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1726         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1727         3. tcl bindings
1728         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1729         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1730         (new-interpreter): New function.
1731
1732         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1733         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1734         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1735

1751
1752         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1753         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1754         source!
1755
1756 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

1764         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1765         in stack-ref).
1766
1767         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1768         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1769         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1770         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1771         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1772         result protocol;

1787
1788         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1789         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1790         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1791
1792         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1793

1809
1810         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1811         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1812         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1813
1814         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1815         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1816         the top.
1817
1818         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1819         order to narrow it correctly.
1820         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1821

1832
1833         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1834         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1835
1836 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1837
1838         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1839         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1840         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1841
1842 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1843
1844         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1845         automatically.
1846

1848
1849         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1850         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1851         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1852         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1853         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1854
1855 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1856
1857         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1858         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1859         a default of /.
1860
1861         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1862
1863 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1864
1865         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1866         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1867         notation, instead of #/ notation.

1870         make-regexp.
1871
1872 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1873
1874         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1875         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1876         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1877         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1878         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1879         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1880
1881         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1882         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1883         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1884         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1885
1886 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1887
1888         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1889         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1890         sending in bug reports.
1891         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1892         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1893         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1894         display a warning if the two are different.
1895         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1896         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1897         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1898
1899 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1900
1901         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1902
1903 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1906         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1907
1908         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1909         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1910         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1911         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1912         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1913         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1914         that's okay.
1915
1916         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1917         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1918         regexp interface.
1919
1920         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1921         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1922
1923         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1924         function names.
1925
1926         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1927         fixes.
1928
1929 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1930
1931         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1932         ../configure.in.
1933
1934 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1935
1936         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1937         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1938
1939 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1940
1941         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1942         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1943         to support printing of structures.
1944         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1945         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1946         commented out printing code.
1947         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1948         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1949
1950 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1951
1952         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1953
1954 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1955
1956         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1957         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1958         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1959         during call to scm-style-repl.
1960
1961 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1962
1963         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1964         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1965         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1966         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1967         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1968
1969 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1970
1971         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1972         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1973         (ice-9 regex).
1974
1975 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1976
1977         * regex.scm: New file.
1978         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1979         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1980
1981 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1982

1991         in 1997.
1992
1993 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1994
1995         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1996         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1997         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1998
1999 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2000
2001         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2002         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2003         here.
2004
2005 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2006
2007         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2015         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2016         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2017         fixes this too.
2018
2019 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2020
2021         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2022         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2023         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2024
2025 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2026
2027         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2028         the Scheme code like code yet.
2029         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2030
2031 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2032
2033         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2034         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2035         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2036
2037 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2038
2039         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2040         use-modules macro
2041         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2042         can't be found.
2043
2044 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2045
2046         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

2048 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2049
2050         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2051
2052         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2053         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.

2064         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2065         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2077
2078         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

2099
2100 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2101
2102         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2103         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2104         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2105         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)

2146
2147 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2150
2151 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2152
2153         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2154         read gets EOF.
2155         * (exit): alias for quit.
2156
2157 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2158
2159         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2160         return the quit args.
2161         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2162         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2163         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2164
2165         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2166
2167 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2168
2169         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2170
2171         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2172         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2173
2174         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2175         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2176
2177         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2178         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2179         of handlers.
2180
2181 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2182
2183         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2184
2185         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2186         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2187         Change hooks to use these functions.
2188
2189         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2190         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2191         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2192         the source! :-)
2193         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2194         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2195         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2196         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2197         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2198         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2199         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2200         traced.
2201
2202         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2203         and exit-frame exceptions.
2204
2205         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2206         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2207         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2208         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2209         result; otherwise display "> ".
2210         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2211
2212         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2213         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2214         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2215         repository version runnable.
2216
2217 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2218
2219         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2220         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2221         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2222         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2223         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2224         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2225
2226 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2227
2228         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2229         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2230         and eval.
2231         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2232         "defined?".
2233         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2234         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2235
2236 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2237
2238         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2239
2240 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2241
2242         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2243         %read-sharp layer.
2244
2245 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2246
2247         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2248         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2249
2250 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2251
2252         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2253         backtrace.c.)
2254
2255 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2256
2257         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2258         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2259
2260 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2261
2262         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2263
2264         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2265         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2266         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2267         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2268         dynamic linking of modules.
2269         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2270         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2271
2272 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2273
2274         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2275
2276 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2277
2278         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2279         that's what it is.
2280
2281         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2282         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2283         was false.
2284
2285 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2286
2287         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2288         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2289         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2290
2291 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2294         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2295         yet.
2296
2297 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2298
2299         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2300         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2301         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2302
2303 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2304
2305         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2306         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2307         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2308         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2309
2310         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2311         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2312         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2313         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2314         (such as the-scm-module).
2315
2316 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2317
2318         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2319         %search-load-path.
2320
2321 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2322
2323         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2324         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2325         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2326
2327 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2328
2329         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2330         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2331         function, use it accordingly.
2332
2333 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2334
2335         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2336         function of no arguments.
2337         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2338         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2339         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2340         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2341         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2342         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2343         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2344         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2345
2346 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2347
2348         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2349         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2350
2351 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2352
2353         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2354         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2355         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2356         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2357         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2358
2359         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2360         `*features*'.
2361
2362         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2363         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2364         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2365         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2366
2367         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2368
2369         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2370
2371         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2372         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2373         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2374
2375         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2376         error.
2377
2378         Added `before-read-hook'.
2379
2380         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2381
2382         (provide): New function.
2383
2384         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2385         in backtraces.
2386
2387         (backtrace): New function.
2388
2389         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2390         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2391         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2392         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2393         is found in operator position in a frame.
2394
2395         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2396         by default.
2397
2398         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2399         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2400         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2401
2402         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2403
2404         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2405
2406         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2407
2408         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2409
2410 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2411
2412         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2413
2414         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2415         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2416
2417         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2418         so they'll get distributed.
2419
2420         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2421         should see as little clutter as possible.
2422         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2423         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2424         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2425
2426         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2427         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2428         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2429         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2430         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2431         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2432         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2433         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2434         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2435         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2436         that are not.
2437         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2438         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2439
2440         * test.scm: New file.
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2443         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2444         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2445
2446         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2447         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2448
2449         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2450         work now.
2451         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2452         call %load-announce.
2453
2454 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2455
2456         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2457         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2458         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2459         components.
2460         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2461
2462 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2463
2464         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2465         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2466         SCSH (which this isn't).
2467
2468 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2471
2472 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2473
2474         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2475         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2476         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2477         these.
2478         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2479         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2480         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2481         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2482         save-stack.
2483
2484 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2485
2486         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2487
2488         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2489
2490         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2491         error-catching-loop.
2492         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2493         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2494         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2495
2496         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from

2500
2501         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2502         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2503         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2504         should be '(), not #f.
2505
2506         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2507         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2508
2509 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2510
2511         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2512         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2513         error-signal.
2514
2515 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2516
2517         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2518         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2519         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2520         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2521
2522 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2523
2524         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2525
2526 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2527
2528         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2531         throw-handler-default.
2532         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2533         reported.
2534         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2535         acro.
2536         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2537         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2538
2539 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2540
2541         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2542         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2543         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2544         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2545

2549         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2550         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2551         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2552         ...))
2553         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2554         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2555         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2556         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2557         file-is-directory?
2558
2559 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2560
2561         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2562
2563         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2564         distribution.
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2567         `switch-repl'.
2568
2569         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2570
2571 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2572
2573         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2574         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2575
2576 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2577
2578         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2579
2580         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2581
2582 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2583
2584         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2585         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2586         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2587         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2588         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2589
2590         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2591         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2592         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2593         they seem redundant.
2594         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2595         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2596         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2597         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2598         directly files starting with "/").
2599         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2600         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2601
2602         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2603
2604 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2605
2606         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2607         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2608         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2609         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2610         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2611         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2612         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2613         robust to just do it in the C code.
2614
2615 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2616
2617         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2618         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2619         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2620         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2621         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2622
2623 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2624
2625         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2626         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2627         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2628
2629 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2630
2631         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2632         system-error, not every kind of error.
2633         (scm-error): new procedure.
2634
2635 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2636
2637         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2638
2639 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2640
2641         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2642         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2643         of args are supplied.
2644         (%%system-errors): removed.
2645         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2646         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2647         %%handle-system-error.
2648         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2649         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2650         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2651         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2652
2653 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2654
2655         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2656         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2657         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2658         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2659
2660 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2661
2662         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2663         the empty list if they are #f.
2664         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2665
2666 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2667
2668         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2669
2670         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2671         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2672         aborting, just the key and subr.
2673         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2674         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2675         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2676
2677 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2678
2679         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2680         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2681         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2682         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2683         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2684
2685 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2686
2687         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2688         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2689         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2690         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2691
2692 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2693
2694         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2695         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2696         initialize %load-path.
2697
2698         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2699         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2700
2701 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2702
2703         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2704         Add the directory named after the version number.
2705         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2706         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2707         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2708         sitedatadir): New definitions.

2715
2716         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2717         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2718         in the Makefile directly.
2719         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2720         for these.
2721         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2722         aux_files.

2732
2733 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2734
2735         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->

2753         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2754         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

2757
2758         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2759         (manifest): Deleted.
2760         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2762
2763 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2764
2765         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2766         now that they throw errors directly.

2768         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2769

2771
2772         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
