2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* unif.c (scm_array_set_x):  The variable args does not
	necessarily have to be a list.  Further, got rid of a redundant
	SCM_NIMP test.

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* list.c (SCM_I_CONS):  Make sure the cell type is initialized
	last.

	* gc.c (s_scm_map_free_list, scm_igc, scm_gc_sweep,

	* weaks.h (WEAKSH, SCM_WEAKS_H):  Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

	(SCM_WVECTP):  Prefer !SCM_<pred> over SCM_N<pred>.

	The following patch adds conservative marking for the elements of

	conservatively.

	(scm_mark_locations, scm_cellp):  Extracted the search for the
	heap segment of a SCM value into function heap_segment.

	(scm_init_storage):  Allocated cells must be marked
	conservatively.

	The following patch changes the representation of weak vectors to
	double cells instead of using an extension of the vector's
	allocated memory.

	the result of SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN.

	(scm_gc_sweep):  Weak vectors don't have extra fields any more.

	* weaks.c (allocate_weak_vector):  New static function.  It does
	not patch any previously created vector object during the
	construction of a weak vector, and thus doesn't need to switch
	off interrupts during vector creation.

	(scm_make_weak_vector, scm_make_weak_key_hash_table,
	scm_make_weak_value_hash_table, scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table):
	Use allocate_weak_vector to provide the new weak vector object.

	* weaks.h (SCM_WVECT_TYPE, SCM_SET_WVECT_TYPE,
	SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  New macros.  The weak vector subtype is
	now stored in the double cell.

	Use SCM_WVECT_TYPE.

	(SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  The weak objects are now chained together
	using an entry of the double cell.

2001-06-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	scm_eval_0str.

	* load.c, load.h (scm_c_primitive_load,
	scm_c_primitive_load_path): New.

	* strports.c, strports.h (scm_c_read_string): Renamed from

2001-06-28  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

2001-06-27  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* read.c (scm_lreadr): When reading a hash token, check for a
	user-defined hash procedure first, so that overriding the builtin
	hash characters is possible (this was needed for implementing
	SRFI-4's read synax `f32(...)').

	* num2integral.i.c: Use scm_t_signed_bits instead of scm_t_bits,
	because the latter is unsigned now and breaks comparisons like
	(n < (scm_t_signed_bits)MIN_VALUE).

2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* eval.h, eval.c (scm_call_4): New function.

	* eval.c (SCM_APPLY, SCM_CEVAL, ENTER_APPLY): Call trap handlers

	(getflags): New function, compiled only under Windows.

	* filesys.c: Conditionalize inclusion of <pwd.h>.  Conditionalize
	primitives chown, link, fcntl.

	as path seperator.

	* async.h (ASYNCH, SCM_ASYNC_H): Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

	* strings.h (STRINGSH, SCM_STRINGS_H): Rename <foo>H to
	SCM_<foo>_H.

	* validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY):  Eliminate
	warning about comparing signed and unsigned values.  This fix is
	not optimal, since it won't work reliably if sizeof (c_start) >
	sizeof (size_t) or sizeof (c_end) > sizeof (size_t).  A better
	solution is to define this macro as an inline function, thus
	allowing to specifiy the types of c_start and c_end.

	* debug.h (SCM_DEBUGOBJ_FRAME):  Deliver result as a
	scm_t_debug_frame*.

	* debug.h (DEBUGH, SCM_DEBUG_H), stacks.h (STACKSH, SCM_STACKSH):
	Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

	* stacks.c (NEXT_FRAME, narrow_stack):  Prefer explicit type check
	over SCM_N?IMP, !SCM_<pred> over SCM_N<pred>.

	(narrow_stack):  Make i unsigned.  Don't use side-effecting
	operations in conditions.

	(narrow_stack, scm_make_stack, scm_stack_id,
	scm_last_stack_frame):  Get rid of redundant SCM_N?IMP checks.

	(scm_make_stack, scm_stack_id, scm_last_stack_frame):  Clean up
	type dispatch.  No need to cast result of SCM_DEBUGOBJ_FRAME any
	more.

	(scm_stack_ref, scm_frame_previous, scm_frame_next):  Fix
	signedness.
