1 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
3 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyrigth notices.
5 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
6 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
8 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
9 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
10 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
12 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
15 * emacs.scm: Set backtrace width to 60.
17 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
19 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
20 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
22 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
24 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
26 * * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
27 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
28 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
29 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
31 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
34 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
35 both forward and backward views of the stack
36 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
37 Use selector `frame-number';
38 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
39 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
41 Use readline conditionally.
43 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
45 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
46 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
47 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
49 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
50 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
53 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
55 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
57 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
59 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
61 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
63 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
65 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
66 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
67 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
68 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
69 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
70 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
71 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
72 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
73 libguile-config-stamp.
74 * version.scm.in: Delete.
75 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
76 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
77 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
78 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
80 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
82 * * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
83 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
84 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
86 * * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
87 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
88 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
89 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
92 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
94 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
96 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
98 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
100 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
101 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
103 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
105 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
106 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
107 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
108 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
109 objects starting with '#/'.
111 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
113 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
114 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
115 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
116 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
117 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
118 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
120 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
121 module-modified): New procedures.
122 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
123 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
125 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
127 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
130 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
132 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
133 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
134 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
136 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
139 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
141 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
142 at multiple calls to read.
143 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
144 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
145 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
146 continued-lines prompt.
148 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
151 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
153 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
154 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
156 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
158 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
159 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
162 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
164 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
165 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
167 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
168 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
169 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
170 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
171 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
174 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
176 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
177 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
179 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
181 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
182 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
183 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
184 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
186 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
188 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
190 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
191 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
192 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
195 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
197 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
198 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
199 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
200 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
201 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
202 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
203 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
204 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
205 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
206 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
207 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
209 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
211 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
212 peeked from the stream.
213 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
214 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
215 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
217 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
219 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
220 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
222 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
224 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
225 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
226 exiting repl with single control-D.
228 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
230 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
231 error catching loop after quit received.
232 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
234 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
235 primitive exit if non-interactive.
236 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
238 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
239 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
241 * popen.scm: new file.
243 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
245 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
246 (reverse-iota): removed.
248 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
250 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
251 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
253 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
255 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
256 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
257 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
258 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
259 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
261 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
263 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
265 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
266 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
268 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
269 Guile's module system.
271 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
273 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
274 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
275 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
276 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
277 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
278 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
280 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
281 '() when the condition is false.
283 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
285 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
287 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
289 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
291 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
293 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
294 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
295 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
297 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
299 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
300 argument order for hash-fold.
302 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
304 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
306 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
307 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
309 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
310 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
311 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
312 has been added to the load path).
316 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
318 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
319 module between system and user state.
321 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
323 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
325 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
328 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
330 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
331 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
332 system can create a wrapper class for it.
334 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
336 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
337 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
338 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
339 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
340 stack frame encountered.
342 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
343 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
344 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
345 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
348 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
349 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
350 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
351 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
354 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
355 define-module switches:
360 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
363 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
364 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
365 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
366 module it is a system frame.
368 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
369 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
370 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
371 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
372 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
374 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
375 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
376 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
377 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
378 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
379 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
381 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
383 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
384 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
386 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
387 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
388 closure to the module.
390 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
392 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
394 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
396 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
398 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
400 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
402 Fix from Russ McManus:
403 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
404 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
405 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
406 either an optional or required value.
408 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
410 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
412 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
413 of the '() key, not `rest'.
415 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
416 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
417 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
418 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
420 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
422 * optargs.scm: New file.
423 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
424 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
426 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
428 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
429 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
430 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
432 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
434 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
435 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
438 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
440 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
442 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
444 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
445 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
446 applied to the module itself.
448 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
450 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
452 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
453 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
455 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
457 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
459 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
461 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
463 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
465 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
466 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
468 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
470 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
471 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
472 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
473 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
474 among BINDINGS is referenced.
475 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
476 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
478 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
480 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
481 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
483 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
485 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
486 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
489 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
491 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
493 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
495 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
497 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
499 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
500 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
501 adapt to the new hooks.
503 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
505 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
506 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
507 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
509 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
510 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
512 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
513 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
514 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
515 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
516 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
517 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
518 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
519 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
520 first to register linked modules.
522 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
523 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
524 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
526 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
527 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
528 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
529 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
531 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
533 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
536 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
537 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
538 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
540 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
542 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
543 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
544 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
546 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
548 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
549 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
550 result of the last form.
552 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
554 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
557 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
559 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
560 readline-set!: New options interface.
562 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
564 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
566 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
567 at the end of boot-9.scm.
569 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
571 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
572 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
574 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
576 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
578 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
580 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
581 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
583 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
585 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
587 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
589 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
592 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
594 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
595 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
597 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
599 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
601 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
602 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
603 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
605 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
606 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
608 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
609 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
610 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
612 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
613 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
614 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
615 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
616 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
617 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
619 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
621 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
622 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
624 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
626 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
627 and short vectors #h(...).
629 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
631 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
632 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
633 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
635 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
637 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
638 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
639 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
641 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
643 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
644 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
646 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
647 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
648 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
649 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
651 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
653 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
656 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
657 order to allow the empty list as arg.
658 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
659 context with traps enabled.
661 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
663 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
665 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
667 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
669 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
670 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
671 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
672 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
673 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
675 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
677 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
678 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
680 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
682 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
684 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
686 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
688 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
690 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
692 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
694 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
695 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
697 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
699 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
700 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
701 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
702 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
705 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
706 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
707 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
709 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
711 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
712 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
713 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
714 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
715 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
716 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
717 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
719 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
721 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
723 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
725 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
726 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
727 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
728 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
729 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
730 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
732 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
734 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
735 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
736 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
739 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
741 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
743 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
745 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
747 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
749 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
752 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
754 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
756 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
758 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
759 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
761 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
763 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
764 similar in use to `use-modules'.
765 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
766 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
768 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
769 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
771 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
773 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
775 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
777 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
778 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
781 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
782 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
784 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
785 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
786 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
788 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
790 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
792 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
794 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
795 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
797 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
799 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
801 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
803 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
804 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
806 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
808 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
811 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
813 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
814 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
816 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
818 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
820 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
822 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
825 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
827 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
828 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
829 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
830 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
831 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
834 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
836 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
837 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
838 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
840 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
842 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
844 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
845 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
847 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
849 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
850 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
851 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
852 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
853 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
854 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
855 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
858 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
860 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
863 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
865 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
866 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
867 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
868 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
869 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
870 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
872 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
874 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
875 usefully so they will work from a script.
877 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
879 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
880 neighborhood of the record code.
882 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
884 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
885 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
886 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
887 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
889 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
891 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
892 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
893 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
895 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
897 Add support for readline function.
898 * readline.scm: New module.
899 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
900 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
901 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
903 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
904 repl-reader to use them.
905 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
907 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
909 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
911 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
912 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
914 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
916 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
917 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
918 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
920 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
922 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
923 #f, abort terminates the process.
924 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
925 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
927 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
929 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
930 print-state, throw it away.
932 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
934 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
937 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
939 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
940 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
941 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
942 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
944 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
945 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
947 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
949 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
951 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
953 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
954 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
955 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
956 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
957 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
959 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
960 distribution and installation.
961 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
963 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
965 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
967 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
969 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
970 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
971 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
973 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
974 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
977 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
979 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
981 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
983 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
985 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
986 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
987 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
988 field a separate argument.
990 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
992 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
994 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
996 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1000 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1002 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1004 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1006 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1007 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1008 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1009 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1010 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1011 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1013 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1014 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1015 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1016 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1017 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1020 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1022 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1024 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1026 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1027 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1029 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1031 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1033 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1034 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1035 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1036 expansion inside the slib module.
1038 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1040 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1041 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1042 (let): New core form.
1043 (if): Removed from core language.
1044 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1045 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1046 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1048 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1049 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1050 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1052 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1053 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1056 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1058 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1059 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1061 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1063 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1064 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1065 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1066 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1067 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1068 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1069 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1070 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1072 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1074 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1076 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1078 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1079 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1080 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1081 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1082 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1084 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1085 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1086 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1088 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1089 the syncase interface.
1091 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1093 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1094 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1095 workings of the current module system).
1097 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1100 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1103 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1105 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1106 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1107 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1109 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1111 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1112 according to the following priorities:
1113 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1114 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1116 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1117 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1118 (new-interpreter): New function.
1120 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1121 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1122 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1124 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1126 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1128 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1130 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1132 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1134 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New

1138 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1140 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1141 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1144 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1146 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1147 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1149 symbols matching regexp.
1151 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1152 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1155 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1156 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1157 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

1159 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1161 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1162 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1164 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1166 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1167 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1169 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1170 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1172 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1174 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1176 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1177 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1178 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1180 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1182 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1184 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1186 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1188 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1189 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1191 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1193 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1196 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1198 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1199 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1200 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1202 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1203 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1206 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1207 order to narrow it correctly.
1208 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1210 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1212 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1213 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1215 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1217 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1219 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1221 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1222 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1224 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1226 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1227 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1228 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1230 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1232 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1235 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1237 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1238 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1239 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1240 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1241 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1243 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1245 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1246 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1249 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1251 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1253 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1254 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1255 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1257 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1260 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1262 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1263 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1264 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1265 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1266 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1267 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1269 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1270 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1271 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1272 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1274 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1276 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1277 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1278 sending in bug reports.
1279 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1280 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1281 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1282 display a warning if the two are different.
1283 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1284 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1285 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1287 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1289 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1291 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1293 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1294 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1296 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1297 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1298 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1299 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1300 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1301 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1304 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1305 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1308 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1309 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1311 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1314 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1317 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1319 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1322 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1324 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1325 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1327 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1329 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1330 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1331 to support printing of structures.
1332 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1333 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1334 commented out printing code.
1335 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1336 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1338 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1340 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1342 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1344 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1345 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1346 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1347 during call to scm-style-repl.
1349 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1351 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1352 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1353 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1354 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1355 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1357 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1359 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1360 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1363 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1365 * regex.scm: New file.
1366 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1367 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1369 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1371 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1372 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1373 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1374 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1376 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1378 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1381 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1383 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1384 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1385 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1387 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1389 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1390 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1393 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1395 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1397 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1399 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1401 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1403 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1404 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1407 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1409 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1410 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1411 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1413 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1415 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1416 the Scheme code like code yet.
1417 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1419 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1421 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1422 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1423 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1425 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1427 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1429 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1432 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1434 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1436 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1438 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1440 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1441 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1442 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1444 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1446 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1447 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1448 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1450 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1452 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1453 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1455 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1457 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1460 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1462 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1464 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1466 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1467 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1469 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1471 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1472 instead of in libguile.
1473 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1474 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1476 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1478 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1480 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1481 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1483 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1485 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1486 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1488 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1490 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1491 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1492 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1493 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1495 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1497 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1498 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1500 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1502 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1504 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1506 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1507 keywords and symbols.
1509 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1511 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1513 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1514 Don't define read-sharp.
1516 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1517 (read-sharp): removed.
1518 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1519 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1521 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1523 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1525 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1526 primitive procedure.)
1528 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1529 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1531 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1533 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1535 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1537 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1539 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1541 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1543 * (exit): alias for quit.
1545 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1547 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1548 return the quit args.
1549 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1550 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1551 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1553 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1555 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1557 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1559 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1560 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1562 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1563 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1565 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1566 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1569 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1571 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1573 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1574 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1575 Change hooks to use these functions.
1577 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1578 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1579 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1581 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1582 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1583 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1584 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1585 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1586 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1587 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1590 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1591 and exit-frame exceptions.
1593 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1594 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1595 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1596 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1597 result; otherwise display "> ".
1598 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1600 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1601 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1602 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1603 repository version runnable.
1605 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1607 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1608 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1609 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1610 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1611 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1612 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1614 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1616 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1617 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1619 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1621 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1622 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1624 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1626 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1628 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1630 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1633 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1635 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1636 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1638 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1640 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1643 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1645 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1646 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1648 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1650 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1652 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1653 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1654 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1655 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1656 dynamic linking of modules.
1657 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1658 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1660 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1662 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1664 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1666 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1669 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1670 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1673 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1675 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1676 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1677 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1679 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1681 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1682 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1685 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1687 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1688 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1689 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1691 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1693 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1694 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1695 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1696 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1698 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1699 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1700 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1701 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1702 (such as the-scm-module).
1704 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1706 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1709 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1711 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1712 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1713 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1715 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1717 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1718 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1719 function, use it accordingly.
1721 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1723 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1724 function of no arguments.
1725 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1726 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1727 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1728 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1729 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1730 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1731 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1732 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1734 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1736 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1737 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1739 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1741 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1742 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1743 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1744 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1745 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1747 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1750 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1751 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1752 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1753 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1755 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1757 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1759 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1760 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1761 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1763 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1766 Added `before-read-hook'.
1768 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1770 (provide): New function.
1772 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1775 (backtrace): New function.
1777 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1778 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1779 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1780 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1781 is found in operator position in a frame.
1783 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1786 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1787 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1788 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1790 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1792 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1794 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1796 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1798 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1800 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1802 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1803 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1805 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1806 so they'll get distributed.
1808 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1809 should see as little clutter as possible.
1810 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1811 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1812 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1814 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1815 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1816 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1817 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1818 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1819 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1820 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1821 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1822 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1823 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1825 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1826 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1828 * test.scm: New file.
1830 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1831 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1832 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1834 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1835 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1837 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1839 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1840 call %load-announce.
1842 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1844 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1845 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1846 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1848 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1850 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1852 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1853 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1854 SCSH (which this isn't).
1856 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1858 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1860 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1862 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1863 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1864 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1866 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1867 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1868 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1869 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1872 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1874 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1876 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1878 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1879 error-catching-loop.
1880 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1881 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1882 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1884 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1885 error-catching-loop.
1887 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1889 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1890 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1891 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1892 should be '(), not #f.
1894 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1895 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1897 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1899 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1900 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1903 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1905 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1906 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1907 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1908 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1910 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1912 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1914 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1916 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1918 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1919 throw-handler-default.
1920 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1922 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1924 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1925 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1927 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1929 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1930 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1931 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1932 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1934 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1936 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1937 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1938 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1939 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1941 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1942 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1943 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1944 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1947 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1949 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1951 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1954 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1957 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1959 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1961 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1962 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1964 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1966 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1968 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
1970 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1972 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
1973 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
1974 Don't set up 'error as a key.
1975 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
1976 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
1978 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
1979 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
1980 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
1981 they seem redundant.
1982 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
1983 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
1984 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
1985 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
1986 directly files starting with "/").
1987 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
1988 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
1990 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
1992 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1994 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
1995 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
1996 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
1997 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
1998 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
1999 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2000 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2001 robust to just do it in the C code.
2003 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2005 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2006 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2007 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2008 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2009 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2011 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2013 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2014 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2015 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2017 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2019 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2020 system-error, not every kind of error.
2021 (scm-error): new procedure.
2023 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2025 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2027 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2029 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2030 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2031 of args are supplied.
2032 (%%system-errors): removed.
2033 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2034 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2035 %%handle-system-error.
2036 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2037 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2038 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2039 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2041 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2043 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2044 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2045 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2046 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2048 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2050 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2051 the empty list if they are #f.
2052 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2054 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2056 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2058 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2059 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2060 aborting, just the key and subr.
2061 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2062 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2063 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2065 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2067 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2068 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2069 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2070 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2071 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2073 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2075 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2076 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2077 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2078 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2080 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2082 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2083 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2084 initialize %load-path.
2086 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2087 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2089 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2091 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2092 Add the directory named after the version number.
2093 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2094 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2095 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2096 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2097 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2098 (install): Create the above directories.
2099 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2100 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2102 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2104 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2105 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2106 in the Makefile directly.
2107 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2109 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2111 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files

2136 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.

2138 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).

2140 (%open-file): removed.
2141 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2142 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

2146 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2147 (manifest): Deleted.
2148 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2151 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2153 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
