[bpt/guile.git] / libguile / ChangeLog

2002-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	The following change makes it possible to move procedure
	application dispatch outside inner loops.  The motivation was
	clean implementation of efficient replacements of R5RS primitives
	in SRFI-1.

	The semantics is clear: scm_trampoline_N returns an optimized
	version of scm_call_N (or NULL if the procedure isn't applicable
	on N args).

	Applying the optimization to map and for-each increases efficiency
	noticeably.  For example, (map abs ls) is 8 times faster than
	before.

	* eval.h (scm_t_trampoline_1, scm_t_trampoline_2): New types.

	* eval.c, eval.h (scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2): New functions.

	* eval.c (call_subr2_2, call_lsubr_2, call_closure_2): New functions;
	(map, for-each): Handle also application on two args as a special
	case; Use trampolines.

	Other changes:
	
	* sort.c (scm_cmp_function): Choose subr2less for scm_tc7_subr_2o;
	(subr2oless): Removed.
	(scm_restricted_vector_sort_x): Use scm_return_first to keep the
	vector GC protected.

	* eval.c (check_map_args): Use scm_out_of_range_pos instead of
	scm_out_of_range.

2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* evalext.[ch] (scm_m_undefine, undefine):  Deprecated.

2002-11-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* debug.c (scm_make_iloc): Added missing "return".

2002-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* strports.c (scm_eval_string_in_module): Validate second arg to
	be a module.  Thanks to Arno Peters!

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* modules.c (scm_env_top_level, scm_lookup_closure_module,
	module_variable, scm_module_lookup_closure,
	scm_module_transformer, scm_sym2var, scm_module_reverse_lookup,
	scm_system_module_env_p):  Don't compare SCM values with C
	operators == or !=.  Avoid SCM_IMP predicates.  Prefer !SCM_FALSEP

	the iloc bitpattern here.

2002-11-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* coop-pthreads.c, coop-pthreads.h: scm_internal_select should be
	part of the API, otherwise it's difficult to write Guile
	extensions using non-blocking I/O => moved #include
	"libguile/iselect.h" from coop-pthreads.c --> coop-pthreads.h.

	* coop-pthreads.c (scm_unlock_mutex): Changed s_lock_mutex -->
	s_unlock_mutex.

2002-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* __scm.h (USE_THREADS, GUILE_ISELECT): Do not define here.  They
	are defined in configure.in.

	is only for declarations.

	generic C API for the coop-pthreads case.

	* coop-pthreads.c, coop-pthreads.h: Redone completely, you might
	start testing it now.

	* _scm.h: Include <errno.h< so that SCM_SYSCALL is correctly
	defined when HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS is not defined.
	(HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Do not define when USE_COPT_THREADS
	is defined.

2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
