ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
   2
   3         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
   4
   5         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
   6         the module obarray.
   7         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
   8
   9         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
  10         the magical undefined value.
  11         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
  12         the default default for bindings.
  13
  14         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
  15         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
  16         (root-module-closure): Removed.
  17         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
  18         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
  19         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
  20         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
  21         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
  22         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
  23         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
  24         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
  25         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
  26         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
  27         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
  28         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
  29         `set-current-module' call.
  30         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
  31         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
  32
  33         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
  34         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.
  35         * format.scm: Likewise, for `format'.
  36

  40         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P
  41         ("printer") for each produced value.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

  69         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
  70         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.

 386         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 387         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).

 389 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 390
 391         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 392         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 393         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 394         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 395         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 396         for now.
 397         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
 398         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.

 400 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 401
 402         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 403         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 404         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 405         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 406         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 407         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 408         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
 409

 411
 412         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
 413         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 414
 415 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 416
 417         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 418         any more.
 419
 420 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 421
 422         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
 423         the-root-module.
 424
 425 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 426

 428
 429 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
 432         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
 433         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
 434         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

 443         make-shared-substring.
 444
 445 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 446
 447         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 448         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 449         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 450         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 451         scm-style-repl.
 452
 453 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 454
 455         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
 456         and open-output-pipe.
 457
 458 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 459
 460         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 461         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 462         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 463         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 464         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 465         Pirotte for the bug report).
 466         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 467         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

 490
 491         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 492         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 493         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 494
 495         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 496         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 497         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 498         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 499         actual documentation entries themselves.

 520
 521         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

 528
 529         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 530         `symbol-append'.
 531         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 532         args.
 533         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 534         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 535         even worked...  /mdj.
 536         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 537         `symbol->string'.
 538         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 539         semantics.
 540
 541 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 566         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 567         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 568         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 569         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 570         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 571
 572         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 573
 574 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 575
 576         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 577         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 578
 579         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 580         syntactic bindings.
 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 583         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 584         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 585         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 586
 587         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 592         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 593
 594         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 595         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 596
 597 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 598
 599         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 600         definition of module-type.
 601
 602         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.

 618         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 619         Mikael for the suggestion.
 620
 621 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 622
 623         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 624         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 625
 626 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 627

 630
 631 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 632

 639         for the hint.
 640
 641         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 642         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 643         tail recursive yet.
 644
 645 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 646
 647         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',

 649
 650         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 651         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 652         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 653         See NEWS.
 654         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

 670         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 671         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 672
 673 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

 684         '() instead of #f.
 685         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 686         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of

 695         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 696         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 697         (help): Rewritten.
 698
 699         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 700
 701         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 702
 703 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 704

 706         (write-all): Removed.

 711
 712         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 713         `proc-documentation'
 714
 715         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 716         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 717         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 718         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 719         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 720         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 721         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 722         getter...)
 723

 733         closure.
 734
 735 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 736
 737         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 738         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 739         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 740         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 741         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 742         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 743         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 744
 745 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not

 755 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 756
 757         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 758         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 759         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 760         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 761         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 762         delete-if! when iterating.
 763
 764 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 765
 766         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 767
 768 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 769
 770         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 771
 772 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 773
 774         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 775         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 776         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 777         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 778
 779 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 780
 781         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 782         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 783
 784 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 785
 786         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 787         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 788         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 789         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 790
 791 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 792
 793         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 794         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 795
 796 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 797
 798         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 799         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 800
 801 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 802
 803         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 804         Dirk Hermann!
 805
 806 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 807
 808         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 809         source of the numerous very short changes.
 810
 811 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 812
 813         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 814         public.
 815
 816         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 817         info pages.
 818
 819 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 820
 821         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 822         from slib docs.
 823
 824 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 825
 826         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 827         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 828
 829 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 830
 831         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 832         to string-append.
 833
 834 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 835
 836         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 837         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 838         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 839
 840 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 841
 842         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 843         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 844         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 845         Narazaki for this change.
 846
 847 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 848
 849         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 850         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 851         %S.
 852
 853         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 854         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 855
 856 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 857
 858         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 859         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 860
 861 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 862
 863         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 864         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 865         use define-public to export from the module.
 866
 867 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 868
 869         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 870         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 871         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 872
 873 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 874
 875         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 876
 877 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 878
 879         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 880         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 881
 882 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 883
 884         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 885
 886         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 887
 888         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 889
 890 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 891
 892         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 893         long_long uniform vectors.
 894
 895 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 896
 897         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 898         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 899
 900 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 901
 902         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 903         script to create generated files like this one.
 904
 905 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 906
 907         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 908         available before using getpw and getuid.
 909         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 910         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 911         check for stat.
 912         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 913         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 914         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 915         available.
 916         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 917         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 918         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 919
 920         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 921         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 922
 923         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 924
 925 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 926
 927         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 928         than 'exit-debugger.
 929
 930         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 931         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 932
 933         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 934
 935 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 936
 937         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 938         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 939         ("position"): New command.
 940         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
 941         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

 943         to return a valid state.)
 944         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
 945
 946 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 947
 948         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 949         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 950         Badros.)
 951
 952 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 953
 954         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 955         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 956
 957 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 958
 959         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 960
 961         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

 969         expression.

 971         Handle errors.
 972
 973 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 974
 975         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 976         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 977
 978         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 979
 980 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 981
 982         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 983         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 984         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 985         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 986
 987         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 988         argument.
 989
 990         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 991         both forward and backward views of the stack
 992         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 993         Use selector `frame-number';
 994         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 995         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 996         Use (ice-9 debug).
 997         Use readline conditionally.
 998
 999 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1000
1001         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1002         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1003         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1004
1005         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1006         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1007         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1008
1009 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1010
1011         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1012
1013         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1014
1015         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1016
1017         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1018
1019 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1020
1021         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1022         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1023         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1024         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1025         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1026         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1027         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1028         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1029         libguile-config-stamp.
1030         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1031         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1032         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1033         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1034         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1035
1036 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1037
1038         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1039         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1040         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1041
1042         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1043         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1044         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1045         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1046         readline.
1047
1048         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1049
1050 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1051
1052         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1053
1054 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1055
1056         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1057         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1058
1059 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1060
1061         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1062         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1063         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1064         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1065         objects starting with '#/'.
1066
1067 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1068
1069         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1070         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1071         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1072         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1073         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1074         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1075         `observer-id'.
1076         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1077         module-modified): New procedures.
1078         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1079         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1080
1081 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1082
1083         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1084         defines.
1085
1086 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1087
1088         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1089         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1090         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1093         position.
1094
1095 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1096
1097         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1098         at multiple calls to read.
1099         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1100         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1101         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1102         continued-lines prompt.
1103
1104         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1105         reading expressions.
1106
1107 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1108
1109         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1110         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1111
1112 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1113
1114         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1115         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1116         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1117
1118         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1119
1120         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1121         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1122
1123         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1124         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1125         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1126         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1127         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1128         instead of a port.
1129
1130 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1131
1132         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1133         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1134
1135         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1136
1137         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1138         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1139         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1140         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1141
1142         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:

1144         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1145
1146         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1147         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1148         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1149         an alist.
1150
1151         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1152
1153         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1154         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1155         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1156         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1157         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1158         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1159         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1160         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1161         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1162         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1163         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1164
1165         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1166
1167         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1168         peeked from the stream.
1169         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1170         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1171         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1172
1173         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1174
1175         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1176         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1177
1178         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1179
1180         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1181         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1182         exiting repl with single control-D.
1183
1184         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1185
1186         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1187         error catching loop after quit received.
1188         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1189
1190         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1191         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1192         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1193
1194         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1195         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1196         boot-9.scm.
1197         * popen.scm: new file.
1198
1199 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1200
1201        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1202        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1203
1204 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1205
1206         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1207         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1208
1209 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1210
1211         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1212         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1213         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1214         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1215         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1216
1217 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1220
1221         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1222         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1223
1224         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1225         Guile's module system.
1226
1227         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1228         changes:
1229         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1230         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1231         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1232         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1233         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1234         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1235         modern CL behavior.
1236         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1237         '() when the condition is false.
1238
1239 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1240
1241         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1242
1243 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244
1245         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1246
1247 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1248
1249         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1250         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1251         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1252
1253 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1254
1255         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1256         argument order for hash-fold.
1257
1258 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1259
1260         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1261         resolve-module.
1262         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1263         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1264
1265         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1266         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1267         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1268         has been added to the load path).
1269
1270         Use try-load-module.
1271
1272 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1273
1274         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1275         module between system and user state.
1276
1277 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1278
1279         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1280
1281         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1282         definition.
1283
1284 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1285
1286         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1287         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1288         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1289
1290 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1291
1292         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1293         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1294         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1295         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1296         stack frame encountered.
1297
1298         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1299         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1300         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1301         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1302         list).]
1303
1304         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1305         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1306         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1307         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1308         please tell me!]
1309
1310         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1311         define-module switches:
1312
1313         (define-module (foo)
1314           :no-backtrace)
1315
1316         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1317         modules.
1318
1319         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1320         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1321         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1322         module it is a system frame.
1323
1324         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1325         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1326         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1327         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1328         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1329
1330         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1331         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1332         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1333         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1334         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1335         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1336
1337         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1338         status of a module.;
1339         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1340         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1341
1342         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1343         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1344         closure to the module.
1345
1346         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1347
1348 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1349
1350         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1351
1352 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1353
1354         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1355
1356 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1357
1358         Fix from Russ McManus:
1359         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1360         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1361         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1362         either an optional or required value.
1363
1364 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1365
1366         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1367
1368         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1369         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1370
1371         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1372         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1373         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1374         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1375
1376 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1377
1378         * optargs.scm: New file.
1379         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1380         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1381
1382 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1383
1384         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1385         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1386         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1387
1388 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1389
1390         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1391         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1392         for isn't loaded.
1393
1394 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1395
1396         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1397
1398 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1399
1400         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1401         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1402         applied to the module itself.
1403
1404 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1405
1406         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1407
1408         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1409         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1410
1411 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1412
1413         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1418
1419 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1420
1421         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1422         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1423
1424 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1425
1426         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1427         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1428         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1429         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1430         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1431         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1432         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1433
1434 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1437         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1438
1439 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1440
1441         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1442         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1443         static libraries.
1444
1445 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1446
1447         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1448
1449 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1450
1451         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1452
1453 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1456         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1457         adapt to the new hooks.
1458
1459 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1460
1461         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1462         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1463         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1464         code.
1465         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1466         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1467
1468         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1469         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1470         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1471         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1472         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1473         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1474         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1475         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1476         first to register linked modules.
1477
1478         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1479         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1480         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1481
1482         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1483         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1484         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1485         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1486
1487         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1488         to use from C:
1489         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1490         libguile/feature.c.
1491
1492         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1493         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1494         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1495
1496 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1497
1498         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1499         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1500         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1501
1502 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1503
1504         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1505         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1506         result of the last form.
1507
1508 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1511         syncase.scm.
1512
1513         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1514
1515         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1516         readline-set!: New options interface.
1517
1518         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1519
1520 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1521
1522         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1523         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1524
1525 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1526
1527         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1528         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1529
1530 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1531
1532         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1533         interactive session.
1534         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1535
1536         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1537         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1538
1539 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1540
1541         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1542
1543 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1544
1545         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1546         read line was empty.
1547
1548 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1549
1550         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1551         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1552
1553         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1554
1555         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1556         problem.  Duh.
1557         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1558         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1559         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1560
1561         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1562         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1563         into...
1564         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1565         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1566         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1567
1568         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1569         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1570         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1571         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1572         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1573         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1574         psyntax.ss.
1575         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1576
1577         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1578         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1579
1580 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1581
1582         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1583         and short vectors #h(...).
1584
1585 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1586
1587         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1588         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1589         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1590
1591 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1592
1593         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1594         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1595         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1596
1597 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1598
1599         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1600         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1601
1602         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1603         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1604         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1605         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1606
1607 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1608
1609         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1610         trace flag.
1611
1612         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1613         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1614         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1615         context with traps enabled.
1616
1617 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1618
1619         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1620         module.
1621         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1622
1623 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1624
1625         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1626         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1627         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1628         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1629         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1630
1631 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1632
1633         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1634         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1635
1636 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1637
1638         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1639
1640 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1641
1642         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1643
1644 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1645
1646         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1647
1648 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1649
1650         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1651         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1652
1653 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1654
1655         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1656         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1657         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1658         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1659         Archibald.)
1660
1661         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1662         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1663         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1664
1665 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1666
1667         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1668         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1669         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1670         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1671         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1672         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1673         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1674
1675 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1676
1677         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1678
1679 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1680
1681         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1682         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1683         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1684         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1685         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1686         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1687
1688 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1689
1690         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1691         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1692         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1693         Steven G. Johnson.)
1694
1695 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1696
1697         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1698
1699 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1700
1701         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1702
1703 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1704
1705         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1706         be completed.
1707
1708 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1709
1710         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1711
1712 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1713
1714         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1715         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1716
1717 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1718
1719         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1720         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1721         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1722         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1723         transformer.
1724         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1725         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1726
1727 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1728
1729         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1730
1731 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1732
1733         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1734         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1735         completion.
1736
1737         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1738         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1739
1740         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1741         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1742         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1743
1744         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1745
1746 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1747
1748         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1749
1750         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1751         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1752
1753 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1754
1755         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1756
1757 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1758
1759         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1760         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1761
1762         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1763
1764         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1765         obsolete.
1766
1767 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1768
1769         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1770         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1771
1772 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1775
1776 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1777
1778         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1779         Stachowiak.)
1780
1781 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1782
1783         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1784         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1785         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1786         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1787         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1788         threads.
1789
1790 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1791
1792         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1793         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1794         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1795
1796 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1797
1798         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1799
1800         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1801         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1802
1803 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1804
1805         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1806         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1807         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1808         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1809         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1810         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1811         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1812         to go here.
1813
1814 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1815
1816         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1817         is now a fluid.
1818
1819 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1820
1821         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1822         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1823         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1824         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1825         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1826         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1827
1828 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1829
1830         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1831         usefully so they will work from a script.
1832
1833 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1834
1835         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1836         neighborhood of the record code.
1837
1838 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1839
1840         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1841         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1842         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1843         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1844
1845 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1846
1847         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1848         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.

1850
1851 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1852
1853         Add support for readline function.
1854         * readline.scm: New module.
1855         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1856         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1857         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1858         anything.
1859         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1860         repl-reader to use them.
1861         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1862
1863         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1864
1865 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1866

1868         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1869
1870 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1871
1872         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1873         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1874         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1875
1876 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1877
1878         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1879         #f, abort terminates the process.
1880         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1881         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1882
1883 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1884
1885         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1886         print-state, throw it away.

1897         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1898         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1899         user field).
1900         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1901         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1902

1908
1909         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1910         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1911         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1912         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1913         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1914         boot-9.scm.
1915         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1916         distribution and installation.
1917         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1922
1923 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1924
1925         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1926         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1927         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1928
1929         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1930         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1931         symbol.
1932
1933 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1942         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1943         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1944         field a separate argument.
1945
1946         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1947

1951
1952         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1961
1962         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1963         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1964         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1965         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1966         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1967         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1968         registered.
1969         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1970         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1971         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1972         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1973         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1974         link a .so-file.

1986
1987         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1988
1989         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1990         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1991         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1992         expansion inside the slib module.
1993
1994         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2002         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2003
2004         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2005         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2006         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2007         source.
2008         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2009         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2010         been loaded.
2011
2012 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2022         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2023         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

2025         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2026         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2027         module.
2028         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2029
2030 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2031
2032         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2033
2034         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2035         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2036         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2037         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2038         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2041         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as

2045         the syncase interface.

2048
2049         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2050         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2051         workings of the current module system).
2052
2053 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2054
2055         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

2066
2067         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2068         according to the following priorities:
2069         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2070         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2071         3. tcl bindings
2072         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2073         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2074         (new-interpreter): New function.
2075
2076         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2077         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2078         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2095
2096         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2097         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2098         source!

2110
2111         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2112         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2113         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2114         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2115         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2116         result protocol;

2131
2132         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2133         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2134         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2135
2136         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

2153
2154         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2155         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2156         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2157
2158         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2159         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2160         the top.

2178         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2179
2180 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2181
2182         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2183         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2184         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2185
2186 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces

2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
2194         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
2195         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
2196         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
2197         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
2198
2199 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2200
2201         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2202         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2203         a default of /.
2204
2205         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2206
2207 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2208
2209         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2210         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2211         notation, instead of #/ notation.
2212
2213         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
2214         make-regexp.
2215
2216 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2217
2218         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2219         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2220         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2221         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2222         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2223         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2224
2225         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2226         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2227         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2228         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2229
2230 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2231
2232         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2233         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2234         sending in bug reports.
2235         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2236         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2237         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2238         display a warning if the two are different.
2239         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2240         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2241         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2242
2243 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2244
2245         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
2246
2247 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2248
2249         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2250         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2251
2252         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2253         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2254         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2255         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2256         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2257         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2258         that's okay.
2259
2260         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2261         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2262         regexp interface.
2263
2264         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2265         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2266
2267         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2268         function names.
2269
2270         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2271         fixes.
2272
2273 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2274
2275         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2276         ../configure.in.
2277
2278 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2279
2280         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2281         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2282
2283 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2284
2285         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2286         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2287         to support printing of structures.
2288         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2289         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2290         commented out printing code.
2291         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2292         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2293
2294 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2295
2296         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2297
2298 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2301         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2302         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2303         during call to scm-style-repl.
2304
2305 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2306
2307         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2308         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2309         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2310         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2311         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2312
2313 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2314
2315         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2316         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2317         (ice-9 regex).
2318
2319 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2320
2321         * regex.scm: New file.
2322         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2323         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2324
2325 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2326
2327         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

2335         in 1997.
2336
2337 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2338
2339         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2340         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2341         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2342
2343 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2344
2345         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2346         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2347         here.
2348
2349 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2350
2351         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

2358
2359         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2360         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2361         fixes this too.
2362
2363 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2364
2365         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2366         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2367         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2368
2369 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2370
2371         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2372         the Scheme code like code yet.
2373         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2374
2375 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2376
2377         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2378         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2379         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2380
2381 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2382
2383         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2384         use-modules macro
2385         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2386         can't be found.
2387
2388 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2389
2390         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2391
2392 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2393
2394         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2395
2396         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2397         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2398         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2399

2407         no plugins.
2408         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2409         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2417
2418         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

2421
2422         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2423         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

2426
2427         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2428         instead of in libguile.
2429         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2430         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2431
2432 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2433
2434         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2435         procedures.

2440
2441         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2442         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2443
2444 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2445
2446         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2447         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2448         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2449         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2450
2451 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2452

2454         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2455

2463         keywords and symbols.
2464
2465 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2488
2489         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2490
2491 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2492
2493         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2494
2495 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2498         read gets EOF.
2499         * (exit): alias for quit.
2500
2501 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2502
2503         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2504         return the quit args.
2505         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2506         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.

2517
2518         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2519         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2520
2521         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2522         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2523         of handlers.
2524
2525 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2526
2527         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2528
2529         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2530         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2531         Change hooks to use these functions.
2532
2533         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2534         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2535         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2536         the source! :-)
2537         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2538         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2539         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2540         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2541         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2542         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2543         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2544         traced.
2545
2546         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2547         and exit-frame exceptions.
2548
2549         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2550         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2551         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2552         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2553         result; otherwise display "> ".
2554         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2555
2556         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2557         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2558         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2559         repository version runnable.
2560
2561 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2562
2563         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2564         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2565         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2566         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2567         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2568         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2569
2570 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2571
2572         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2573         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2574         and eval.
2575         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2576         "defined?".
2577         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2578         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2579
2580 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2581
2582         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2583
2584 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2585
2586         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2587         %read-sharp layer.
2588
2589 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2590
2591         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2592         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2593
2594 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2595
2596         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2597         backtrace.c.)
2598
2599 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2600
2601         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2602         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2603
2604 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2605
2606         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2607
2608         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2609         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2610         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2611         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2612         dynamic linking of modules.
2613         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2614         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2615
2616 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2617
2618         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2619
2620 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2621
2622         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2623         that's what it is.
2624
2625         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2626         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2627         was false.
2628
2629 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2630
2631         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2632         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2633         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2634
2635 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2636
2637         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2638         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2639         yet.
2640
2641 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2642
2643         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2644         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2645         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2646
2647 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2648
2649         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2650         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2651         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2652         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2653
2654         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2655         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2656         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2657         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2658         (such as the-scm-module).
2659
2660 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2661
2662         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2663         %search-load-path.
2664
2665 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2666
2667         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2668         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2669         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2670
2671 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2672
2673         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2674         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2675         function, use it accordingly.
2676
2677 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2678
2679         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2680         function of no arguments.
2681         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2682         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2683         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2684         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2685         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2686         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2687         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2688         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2689
2690 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2691
2692         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2693         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2694
2695 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2696
2697         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2698         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2699         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2700         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2701         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2702
2703         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2704         `*features*'.
2705
2706         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2707         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2708         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2709         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2710
2711         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2712
2713         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2714
2715         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2716         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2717         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2718
2719         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2720         error.
2721
2722         Added `before-read-hook'.
2723
2724         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2725
2726         (provide): New function.
2727
2728         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2729         in backtraces.
2730
2731         (backtrace): New function.
2732
2733         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2734         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2735         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2736         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2737         is found in operator position in a frame.
2738
2739         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2740         by default.
2741
2742         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2743         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2744         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2745
2746         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2747
2748         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2749
2750         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2751
2752         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2753
2754 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2755
2756         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2757
2758         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2759         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2760
2761         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2762         so they'll get distributed.
2763
2764         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2765         should see as little clutter as possible.
2766         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2767         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2768         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2769
2770         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2771         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2772         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2773         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2774         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2775         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2776         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2777         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2778         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2779         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2780         that are not.
2781         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2782         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2783
2784         * test.scm: New file.
2785
2786         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2787         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2788         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2789
2790         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2791         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2792
2793         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2794         work now.
2795         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2796         call %load-announce.
2797
2798 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2799
2800         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2801         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2802         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2803         components.
2804         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2805
2806 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2807
2808         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2809         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2810         SCSH (which this isn't).
2811
2812 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2815
2816 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2817
2818         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2819         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2820         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2821         these.
2822         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2823         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2824         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2825         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2826         save-stack.
2827
2828 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2829
2830         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2831
2832         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2833
2834         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2835         error-catching-loop.
2836         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2837         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2838         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2839
2840         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2841         error-catching-loop.
2842
2843 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2844
2845         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2846         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2847         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2848         should be '(), not #f.
2849
2850         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2851         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2852
2853 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2854
2855         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2856         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2857         error-signal.
2858
2859 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2860
2861         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2862         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2863         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2864         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.

2867
2868         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2869
2870 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2871
2872         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2873
2874         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2875         throw-handler-default.
2876         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2877         reported.
2878         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2879         acro.
2880         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2881         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2882
2883 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2884
2885         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2886         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2887         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2888         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2889
2890 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2891
2892         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2893         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2894         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2895         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2896         ...))
2897         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2898         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2899         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2900         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2901         file-is-directory?
2902
2903 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2904
2905         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2906
2907         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2908         distribution.
2909
2910         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2911         `switch-repl'.
2912
2913         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2914
2915 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2916
2917         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2918         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2919
2920 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2921
2922         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2923
2924         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2925
2926 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2927
2928         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2929         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2930         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2931         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2932         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2933
2934         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2935         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2936         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2937         they seem redundant.
2938         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2939         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2940         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2941         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2942         directly files starting with "/").
2943         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2944         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2945
2946         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2947
2948 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2949
2950         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2951         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2952         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2953         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2954         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2955         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2956         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2957         robust to just do it in the C code.
2958
2959 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2960
2961         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2962         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2963         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2964         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2965         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2966
2967 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2968
2969         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2970         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2971         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2972
2973 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2974
2975         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2976         system-error, not every kind of error.
2977         (scm-error): new procedure.
2978
2979 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2980
2981         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2982
2983 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2984
2985         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2986         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2987         of args are supplied.
2988         (%%system-errors): removed.
2989         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2990         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2991         %%handle-system-error.
2992         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2993         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2994         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2995         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2996
2997 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2998
2999         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3000         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3001         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3002         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3003
3004 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3007         the empty list if they are #f.
3008         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3009
3010 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3011
3012         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3013
3014         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3015         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3016         aborting, just the key and subr.
3017         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3018         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3019         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3020
3021 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3022
3023         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3024         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3025         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3026         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3027         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3028
3029 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3030
3031         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3032         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3033         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3034         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3035
3036 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3037
3038         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3039         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3040         initialize %load-path.
3041
3042         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3043         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3044
3045 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3046
3047         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3048         Add the directory named after the version number.
3049         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3050         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3051         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3052         sitedatadir): New definitions.
3053         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

3058 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3059
3060         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3061         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3062         in the Makefile directly.
3063         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3064         for these.
3065         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3066         aux_files.

3068         here, where people expect to find them.

3071
3072         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3073         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3074
3075         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3076
3077 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3078
3079         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3080         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

3097         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3098         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

3101
3102         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3103         (manifest): Deleted.
3104         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

3106
3107 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3108
3109         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3110         now that they throw errors directly.

3113
3114 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3115
3116         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3117
