ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
   2
   3         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
   4         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
   5         the top.
   6
   7         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
   8         order to narrow it correctly.
   9         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
  10
  11 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
  14         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
  15
  16 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  17
  18         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
  19
  20 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
  23         builtin `with-fluids*'.
  24
  25 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  26
  27         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
  28         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
  29         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
  30
  31 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  32
  33         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
  34         automatically.
  35
  36 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
  39         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
  40         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
  41         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
  42         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
  43
  44 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
  45
  46         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
  47         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
  48         a default of /.
  49
  50         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
  51
  52 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
  53
  54         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
  55         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
  56         notation, instead of #/ notation.
  57
  58         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
  59         make-regexp.
  60
  61 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
  62
  63         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
  64         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
  65         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
  66         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
  67         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
  68         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
  69
  70         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
  71         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
  72         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
  73         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
  74
  75 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
  76
  77         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
  78         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
  79         sending in bug reports.
  80         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
  81         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
  82         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
  83         display a warning if the two are different.
  84         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
  85         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
  86         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
  87
  88 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
  89
  90         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
  91
  92 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
  95         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
  96
  97         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
  98         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
  99         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
 100         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
 101         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
 102         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
 103         that's okay.
 104
 105         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
 106         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
 107         regexp interface.
 108
 109         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
 110         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
 111
 112         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
 113         function names.
 114
 115         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
 116         fixes.
 117
 118 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
 119
 120         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
 121         ../configure.in.
 122
 123 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
 126         vtable and not the one of the struct.
 127
 128 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 129
 130         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
 131         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
 132         to support printing of structures.
 133         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
 134         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
 135         commented out printing code.
 136         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
 137         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
 138
 139 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 140
 141         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
 142
 143 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 144
 145         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
 146         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
 147         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
 148         during call to scm-style-repl.
 149
 150 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 151
 152         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
 153         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
 154         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
 155         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
 156         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
 157
 158 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 159
 160         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
 161         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
 162         (ice-9 regex).
 163
 164 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
 165
 166         * regex.scm: New file.
 167         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
 168         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 169
 170 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 171
 172         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
 173         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
 174         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
 175         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
 176
 177 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 178

 180         in 1997.
 181
 182 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 183
 184         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
 185         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
 186         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
 187
 188 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 189
 190         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
 191         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
 192         here.
 193
 194 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 195
 196         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 197
 198 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 199
 200         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
 201
 202 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 203
 204         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
 205         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
 206         fixes this too.
 207
 208 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 209
 210         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
 211         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
 212         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
 213
 214 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 215
 216         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
 217         the Scheme code like code yet.
 218         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
 219
 220 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 221
 222         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
 223         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
 224         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
 225
 226 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 227
 228         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
 229         use-modules macro
 230         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
 231         can't be found.
 232
 233 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 234
 235         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
 236
 237 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 238
 239         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
 240
 241         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
 242         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
 243         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
 244
 245 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

 249         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

 252         no plugins.
 253         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
 254         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 255

 262
 263         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
 264
 265 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 266
 267         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
 268         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
 269
 270 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 271
 272         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
 273         instead of in libguile.

 279         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
 280         procedures.
 281         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
 282         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.

 289 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 290
 291         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
 292         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
 293         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
 294         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
 295
 296 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 297
 298         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
 299         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
 300
 301 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 302
 303         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

 311
 312         * slib.scm: update read usage.
 313
 314         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
 315         Don't define read-sharp.
 316
 317         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
 318         (read-sharp): removed.
 319         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
 320         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
 321
 322 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 323
 324         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
 325

 330         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

 340 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 341
 342         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
 343         read gets EOF.
 344         * (exit): alias for quit.
 345
 346 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 347
 348         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
 349         return the quit args.
 350         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
 351         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
 352         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
 353
 354         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
 355
 356 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 360         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
 361         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
 362
 363         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
 364         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
 365
 366         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
 367         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
 368         of handlers.
 369
 370 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 371
 372         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
 373
 374         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
 375         (add-hooks!): New macro.
 376         Change hooks to use these functions.
 377
 378         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
 379         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
 380         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
 381         the source! :-)
 382         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
 383         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
 384         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
 385         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
 386         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
 387         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
 388         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
 389         traced.
 390
 391         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
 392         and exit-frame exceptions.
 393
 394         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
 395         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
 396         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
 397         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
 398         result; otherwise display "> ".
 399         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
 400
 401         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
 402         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
 403         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
 404         repository version runnable.
 405
 406 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 407
 408         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
 409         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
 410         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
 411         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
 412         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
 413         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
 414
 415 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 416
 417         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
 418         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
 419         and eval.
 420         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
 421         "defined?".
 422         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
 423         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
 424
 425 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 426
 427         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
 428
 429 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 430
 431         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
 432         %read-sharp layer.
 433
 434 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 435
 436         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
 437         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
 438
 439 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 440
 441         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
 442         backtrace.c.)
 443
 444 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 445
 446         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
 447         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
 448
 449 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 450
 451         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
 452
 453         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 454         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
 455         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
 456         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
 457         dynamic linking of modules.
 458         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
 459         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
 460
 461 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 462
 463         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
 464
 465 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 466
 467         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
 468         that's what it is.
 469
 470         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
 471         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
 472         was false.
 473
 474 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 475
 476         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
 477         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
 478         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
 479
 480 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 481
 482         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
 483         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
 484         yet.
 485
 486 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 487
 488         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
 489         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
 490         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
 491
 492 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 493
 494         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
 495         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
 496         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
 497         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
 498
 499         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
 500         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
 501         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
 502         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
 503         (such as the-scm-module).
 504
 505 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 506
 507         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
 508         %search-load-path.
 509
 510 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 511
 512         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
 513         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
 514         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
 515
 516 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 517
 518         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
 519         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
 520         function, use it accordingly.
 521
 522 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 523
 524         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
 525         function of no arguments.
 526         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
 527         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
 528         set-current-module): Uses changed.
 529         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
 530         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
 531         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
 532         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
 533         *top-level-eval-closure*.
 534
 535 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 536
 537         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
 538         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
 539
 540 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 541
 542         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 543         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
 544         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
 545         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
 546         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
 547
 548         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
 549         `*features*'.
 550
 551         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
 552         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
 553         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
 554         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
 555
 556         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
 557
 558         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
 559
 560         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
 561         If the user wants to see this, he can do
 562         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
 563
 564         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
 565         error.
 566
 567         Added `before-read-hook'.
 568
 569         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
 570
 571         (provide): New function.
 572
 573         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
 574         in backtraces.
 575
 576         (backtrace): New function.
 577
 578         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
 579         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
 580         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
 581         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
 582         is found in operator position in a frame.
 583
 584         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
 585         by default.
 586
 587         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
 588         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
 589         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
 590
 591         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
 592
 593         (library-vicinity): Updated.
 594
 595         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
 596
 597         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
 598
 599 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 600
 601         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
 602
 603         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
 604         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
 605
 606         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
 607         so they'll get distributed.
 608
 609         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
 610         should see as little clutter as possible.
 611         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
 612         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
 613         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
 614
 615         * r4rs.scm: New file.
 616         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
 617         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
 618         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
 619         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
 620         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
 621         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
 622         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
 623         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
 624         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
 625         that are not.
 626         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
 627         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
 628
 629         * test.scm: New file.
 630
 631         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
 632         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
 633         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
 634
 635         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
 636         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
 637
 638         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
 639         work now.
 640         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
 641         call %load-announce.
 642
 643 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 644
 645         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
 646         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
 647         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
 648         components.
 649         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
 650
 651 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 652
 653         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
 654         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
 655         SCSH (which this isn't).
 656
 657 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 658
 659         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
 660
 661 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 662
 663         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
 664         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
 665         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
 666         these.
 667         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
 668         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
 669         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
 670         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
 671         save-stack.
 672
 673 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 674
 675         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
 676
 677         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
 678
 679         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
 680         error-catching-loop.
 681         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
 682         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
 683         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
 684
 685         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
 686         error-catching-loop.
 687
 688 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 689
 690         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
 691         (make-module): Rework for readability.
 692         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
 693         should be '(), not #f.
 694
 695         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
 696         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
 697
 698 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 699
 700         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
 701         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
 702         error-signal.
 703
 704 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 705
 706         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
 707         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
 708         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
 709         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
 710
 711 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 712
 713         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
 714
 715 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 716
 717         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
 718

 720         throw-handler-default.
 721         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
 722         reported.

 729
 730         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
 731         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
 732         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
 733         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
 734
 735 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 736

 738         Append "." to the default %load-path.
 739         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
 740         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
 741         ...))
 742         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
 743         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
 744         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.

 746         file-is-directory?
 747
 748 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 749
 750         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
 751
 752         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
 753         distribution.
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
 756         `switch-repl'.
 757
 758         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
 759
 760 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 761
 762         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
 763         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
 764
 765 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
 768
 769         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
 770
 771 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 772
 773         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
 774         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
 775         Don't set up 'error as a key.
 776         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
 777         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
 778
 779         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
 780         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
 781         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
 782         they seem redundant.
 783         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
 784         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
 785         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
 786         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
 787         directly files starting with "/").
 788         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
 789         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
 790
 791         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
 792
 793 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
 796         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
 797         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
 798         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
 799         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
 800         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
 801         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
 802         robust to just do it in the C code.
 803
 804 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 805
 806         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
 807         %try-load itself was the primitive.
 808         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
 809         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
 810         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
 811
 812 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 813
 814         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
 815         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
 816         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
 817
 818 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 819
 820         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
 821         system-error, not every kind of error.
 822         (scm-error): new procedure.
 823
 824 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

 827
 828 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 829
 830         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
 831         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
 832         of args are supplied.
 833         (%%system-errors): removed.
 834         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
 835         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
 836         %%handle-system-error.
 837         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
 838         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
 839         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
 840         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
 841
 842 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 843
 844         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
 845         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
 846         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
 847         %S (embed an argument using "write").
 848
 849 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 850
 851         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
 852         the empty list if they are #f.
 853         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
 854
 855 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 856
 857         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
 858
 859         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
 860         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
 861         aborting, just the key and subr.
 862         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
 863         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
 864         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
 865
 866 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
 867
 868         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
 869         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
 870         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
 871         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
 872         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
 873
 874 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
 875
 876         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
 877         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
 878         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
 879         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
 880
 881 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
 882
 883         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
 884         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
 885         initialize %load-path.
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
 888         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
 889
 890 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
 891
 892         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
 893         Add the directory named after the version number.
 894         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
 895         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
 896         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
 897         sitedatadir): New definitions.

 904
 905         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
 906         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
 907         in the Makefile directly.
 908         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
 909         for these.
 910         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
 911         aux_files.
 912         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
 913         here, where people expect to find them.

 948         (manifest): Deleted.
 949         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
