[bpt/guile.git] / ice-9 / ChangeLog
1 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2
3 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
4 than 'exit-debugger.
5
6 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
7 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
8
9 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
10
11 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
12
13 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
14 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
15 ("position"): New command.
16 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
17 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
18 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
19 to return a valid state.)
20 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
21
22 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
23
24 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
25 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
26 Badros.)
27
28 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
29
30 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
31 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
32
33 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
34
35 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
36
37 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
38
39 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
40 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
41
42 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
43 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
44 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
45 expression.
46 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
47 Handle errors.
48
49 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
50
51 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
52 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
53
54 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
55
56 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
57
58 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
59 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
60 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
61 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
62
63 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
64 argument.
65
66 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
67 both forward and backward views of the stack
68 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
69 Use selector `frame-number';
70 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
71 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
72 Use (ice-9 debug).
73 Use readline conditionally.
74
75 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
76
77 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
78 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
79 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
80
81 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
82 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
83 Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
84
85 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
86
87 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
88
89 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
90
91 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
92
93 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
94
95 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
96
97 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
98 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
99 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
100 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
101 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
102 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
103 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
104 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
105 libguile-config-stamp.
106 * version.scm.in: Delete.
107 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
108 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
109 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
110 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
111
112 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
113
114 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
115 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
116 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
117
118 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
119 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
120 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
121 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
122 readline.
123
124 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
125
126 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
127
128 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
129
130 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
131
132 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
133 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
134
135 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
136
137 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
138 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
139 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
140 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
141 objects starting with '#/'.
142
143 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
144
145 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
146 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
147 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
148 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
149 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
150 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
151 `observer-id'.
152 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
153 module-modified): New procedures.
154 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
155 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
156
157 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
158
159 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
160 defines.
161
162 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
163
164 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
165 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
166 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
167
168 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
169 position.
170
171 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
172
173 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
174 at multiple calls to read.
175 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
176 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
177 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
178 continued-lines prompt.
179
180 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
181 reading expressions.
182
183 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
184
185 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
186 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
187
188 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
189
190 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
191 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
192 Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
193
194 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
195
196 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
197 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
198
199 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
200 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
201 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
202 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
203 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
204 instead of a port.
205
206 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
207
208 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
209 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
210
211 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
212
213 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
214 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
215 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
216 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
217
218 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
219
220 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
221
222 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
223 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
224 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
225 an alist.
226
227 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
228
229 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
230 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
231 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
232 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
233 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
234 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
235 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
236 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
237 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
238 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
239 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
240
241 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
242
243 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
244 peeked from the stream.
245 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
246 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
247 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
248
249 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
250
251 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
252 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
253
254 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
255
256 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
257 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
258 exiting repl with single control-D.
259
260 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
261
262 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
263 error catching loop after quit received.
264 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
265
266 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
267 primitive exit if non-interactive.
268 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
269
270 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
271 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
272 boot-9.scm.
273 * popen.scm: new file.
274
275 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
276
277 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
278 (reverse-iota): removed.
279
280 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
281
282 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
283 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
284
285 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
286
287 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
288 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
289 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
290 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
291 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
292
293 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
294
295 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
296
297 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
298 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
299
300 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
301 Guile's module system.
302
303 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
304 changes:
305 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
306 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
307 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
308 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
309 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
310 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
311 modern CL behavior.
312 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
313 '() when the condition is false.
314
315 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
316
317 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
318
319 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
320
321 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
322
323 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
324
325 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
326 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
327 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
328
329 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
330
331 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
332 argument order for hash-fold.
333
334 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
335
336 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
337 resolve-module.
338 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
339 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
340
341 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
342 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
343 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
344 has been added to the load path).
345
346 Use try-load-module.
347
348 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
349
350 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
351 module between system and user state.
352
353 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
354
355 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
356
357 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
358 definition.
359
360 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
361
362 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
363 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
364 system can create a wrapper class for it.
365
366 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
367
368 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
369 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
370 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
371 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
372 stack frame encountered.
373
374 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
375 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
376 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
377 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
378 list).]
379
380 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
381 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
382 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
383 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
384 please tell me!]
385
386 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
387 define-module switches:
388
389 (define-module (foo)
390 :no-backtrace)
391
392 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
393 modules.
394
395 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
396 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
397 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
398 module it is a system frame.
399
400 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
401 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
402 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
403 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
404 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
405
406 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
407 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
408 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
409 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
410 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
411 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
412
413 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
414 status of a module.;
415 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
416 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
417
418 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
419 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
420 closure to the module.
421
422 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
423
424 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
425
426 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
427
428 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
429
430 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
431
432 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
433
434 Fix from Russ McManus:
435 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
436 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
437 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
438 either an optional or required value.
439
440 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
441
442 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
443
444 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
445 of the '() key, not `rest'.
446
447 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
448 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
449 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
450 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
451
452 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
453
454 * optargs.scm: New file.
455 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
456 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
457
458 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
459
460 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
461 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
462 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
463
464 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
465
466 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
467 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
468 for isn't loaded.
469
470 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
471
472 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
473
474 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
475
476 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
477 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
478 applied to the module itself.
479
480 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
481
482 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
483
484 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
485 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
486
487 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
488
489 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
490
491 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
492
493 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
494
495 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
496
497 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
498 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
499
500 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
501
502 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
503 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
504 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
505 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
506 among BINDINGS is referenced.
507 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
508 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
509
510 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
511
512 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
513 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
514
515 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
516
517 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
518 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
519 static libraries.
520
521 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
522
523 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
524
525 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
526
527 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
528
529 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
530
531 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
532 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
533 adapt to the new hooks.
534
535 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
536
537 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
538 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
539 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
540 code.
541 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
542 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
543
544 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
545 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
546 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
547 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
548 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
549 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
550 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
551 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
552 first to register linked modules.
553
554 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
555 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
556 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
557
558 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
559 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
560 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
561 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
562
563 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
564 to use from C:
565 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
566 libguile/feature.c.
567
568 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
569 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
570 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
571
572 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
573
574 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
575 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
576 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
577
578 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
579
580 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
581 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
582 result of the last form.
583
584 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
585
586 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
587 syncase.scm.
588
589 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
590
591 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
592 readline-set!: New options interface.
593
594 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
595
596 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
597
598 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
599 at the end of boot-9.scm.
600
601 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
602
603 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
604 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
605
606 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
607
608 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
609 interactive session.
610 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
611
612 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
613 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
614
615 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
616
617 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
618
619 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
620
621 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
622 read line was empty.
623
624 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
625
626 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
627 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
628
629 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
630
631 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
632 problem. Duh.
633 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
634 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
635 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
636
637 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
638 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
639 into...
640 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
641 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
642 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
643
644 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
645 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
646 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
647 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
648 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
649 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
650 psyntax.ss.
651 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
652
653 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
654 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
655
656 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
657
658 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
659 and short vectors #h(...).
660
661 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
662
663 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
664 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
665 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
666
667 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
668
669 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
670 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
671 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
672
673 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
674
675 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
676 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
677
678 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
679 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
680 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
681 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
682
683 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
684
685 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
686 trace flag.
687
688 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
689 order to allow the empty list as arg.
690 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
691 context with traps enabled.
692
693 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
694
695 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
696 module.
697 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
698
699 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
700
701 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
702 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
703 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
704 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
705 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
706
707 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
708
709 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
710 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
711
712 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
713
714 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
715
716 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
717
718 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
719
720 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
721
722 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
723
724 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
725
726 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
727 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
728
729 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
730
731 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
732 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
733 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
734 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
735 Archibald.)
736
737 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
738 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
739 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
740
741 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
742
743 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
744 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
745 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
746 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
747 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
748 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
749 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
750
751 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
752
753 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
754
755 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
756
757 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
758 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
759 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
760 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
761 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
762 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
763
764 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
765
766 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
767 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
768 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
769 Steven G. Johnson.)
770
771 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
772
773 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
774
775 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
776
777 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
778
779 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
780
781 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
782 be completed.
783
784 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
785
786 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
787
788 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
789
790 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
791 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
792
793 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
794
795 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
796 similar in use to `use-modules'.
797 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
798 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
799 transformer.
800 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
801 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
802
803 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
804
805 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
806
807 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
808
809 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
810 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
811 completion.
812
813 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
814 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
815
816 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
817 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
818 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
819
820 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
821
822 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
823
824 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
825
826 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
827 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
828
829 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
830
831 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
832
833 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
834
835 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
836 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
837
838 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
839
840 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
841 obsolete.
842
843 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
844
845 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
846 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
847
848 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
849
850 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
851
852 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
853
854 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
855 Stachowiak.)
856
857 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
858
859 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
860 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
861 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
862 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
863 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
864 threads.
865
866 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
867
868 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
869 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
870 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
871
872 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
873
874 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
875
876 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
877 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
878
879 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
880
881 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
882 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
883 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
884 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
885 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
886 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
887 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
888 to go here.
889
890 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
891
892 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
893 is now a fluid.
894
895 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
896
897 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
898 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
899 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
900 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
901 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
902 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
903
904 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
905
906 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
907 usefully so they will work from a script.
908
909 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
910
911 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
912 neighborhood of the record code.
913
914 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
915
916 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
917 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
918 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
919 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
920
921 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
922
923 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
924 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
925 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
926
927 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
928
929 Add support for readline function.
930 * readline.scm: New module.
931 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
932 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
933 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
934 anything.
935 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
936 repl-reader to use them.
937 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
938
939 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
940
941 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
942
943 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
944 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
945
946 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
947
948 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
949 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
950 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
951
952 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
953
954 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
955 #f, abort terminates the process.
956 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
957 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
958
959 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
960
961 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
962 print-state, throw it away.
963
964 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
965
966 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
967 `0'.
968
969 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
970
971 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
972 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
973 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
974 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
975 user field).
976 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
977 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
978
979 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
980
981 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
982
983 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
984
985 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
986 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
987 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
988 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
989 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
990 boot-9.scm.
991 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
992 distribution and installation.
993 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
994
995 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
996
997 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
998
999 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1000
1001 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1002 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1003 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1004
1005 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1006 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1007 symbol.
1008
1009 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1010
1011 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1012
1013 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1014
1015 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1016
1017 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1018 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1019 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1020 field a separate argument.
1021
1022 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1023
1024 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1025
1026 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1027
1028 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1029 vicinity;
1030 Provide defmacro.
1031
1032 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1033
1034 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1035
1036 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1037
1038 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1039 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1040 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1041 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1042 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1043 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1044 registered.
1045 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1046 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1047 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1048 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1049 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1050 link a .so-file.
1051
1052 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1053
1054 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1055
1056 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1057
1058 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.

1060
1061 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1062
1063 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1064
1065 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1066 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1067 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1068 expansion inside the slib module.
1069
1070 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1071 constructors.
1072 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1073 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1074 (let): New core form.
1075 (if): Removed from core language.
1076 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1077 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1078 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1079
1080 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1081 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1082 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1083 source.
1084 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1085 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1086 been loaded.
1087
1088 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1089
1090 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1091 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1092 `use-syntax'.
1093 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1094
1095 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1096 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1097 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1098 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1099 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1100 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1101 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1102 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1103 module.
1104 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1105
1106 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1107
1108 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1109
1110 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1111 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1112 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1113 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1114 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1115
1116 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1117 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1118 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1119 syncase macros.
1120 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1121 the syncase interface.
1122
1123 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1124
1125 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1126 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1127 workings of the current module system).
1128
1129 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1130
1131 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1132 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1133 off!
1134
1135 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1136
1137 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1138 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1139 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1140
1141 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1142
1143 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1144 according to the following priorities:
1145 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1146 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1147 3. tcl bindings
1148 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1149 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1150 (new-interpreter): New function.
1151
1152 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1153 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1154 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1155
1156 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1157
1158 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1159
1160 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1161
1162 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1163
1164 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1165
1166 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1167 procedures.

1169
1170 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1171
1172 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1173 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1174 source!
1175
1176 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1177
1178 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1179 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1180 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1181 symbols matching regexp.
1182
1183 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1184 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1185 in stack-ref).
1186
1187 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1188 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1189 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1190 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1191 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1192 result protocol;
1193 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1194 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1195
1196 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1197
1198 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1199 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1200
1201 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1202 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1203
1204 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1205
1206 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1207
1208 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1209 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1210 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1211
1212 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1213
1214 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1216 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1217
1218 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1219
1220 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1221 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1222
1223 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1224
1225 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1226 cstime.
1227
1228 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1229
1230 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1231 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1232 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1233
1234 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1235 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1236 the top.
1237
1238 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1239 order to narrow it correctly.
1240 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1241
1242 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1243
1244 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1245 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1246
1247 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1248
1249 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1250
1251 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1252
1253 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1254 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1255
1256 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1257
1258 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1259 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1260 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1261
1262 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1263
1264 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1265 automatically.
1266
1267 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1268
1269 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1270 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1271 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1272 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1273 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1274
1275 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1276
1277 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1278 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1279 a default of /.
1280
1281 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1282
1283 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1284
1285 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1286 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1287 notation, instead of #/ notation.
1288
1289 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
1290 make-regexp.
1291
1292 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1293
1294 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1295 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1296 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1297 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1298 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1299 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1300
1301 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1302 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1303 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1304 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1305
1306 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1307
1308 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1309 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1310 sending in bug reports.
1311 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1312 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1313 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1314 display a warning if the two are different.
1315 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1316 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1317 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1318
1319 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1320
1321 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1322
1323 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1324
1325 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1326 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1327
1328 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1329 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1330 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1331 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1332 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1333 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1334 that's okay.
1335
1336 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1337 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1338 regexp interface.
1339
1340 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1341 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1342
1343 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1344 function names.
1345
1346 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1347 fixes.
1348
1349 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1350
1351 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1352 ../configure.in.
1353
1354 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1355
1356 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1357 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1358
1359 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1360
1361 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1362 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1363 to support printing of structures.
1364 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1365 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1366 commented out printing code.
1367 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1368 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1369
1370 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1371
1372 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1373
1374 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1375
1376 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1377 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1378 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1379 during call to scm-style-repl.
1380
1381 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1382
1383 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1384 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1385 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1386 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1387 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1388
1389 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1390
1391 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1392 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1393 (ice-9 regex).
1394
1395 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1396
1397 * regex.scm: New file.
1398 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1399 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1400
1401 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1402
1403 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1404 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1405 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1406 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1407
1408 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1409
1410 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1411 in 1997.
1412
1413 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1414
1415 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1416 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1417 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1418
1419 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1420
1421 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1422 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1423 here.
1424
1425 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1426
1427 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1428
1429 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1430
1431 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1432
1433 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1434
1435 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1436 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1437 fixes this too.
1438
1439 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1440
1441 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1442 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1443 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1444
1445 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1446
1447 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1448 the Scheme code like code yet.
1449 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1450
1451 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1452
1453 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1454 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1455 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1456
1457 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1458
1459 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1460 use-modules macro
1461 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1462 can't be found.
1463
1464 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1465
1466 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1467
1468 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1469
1470 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1471
1472 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1473 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1474 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1475
1476 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1477
1478 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1479 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1480 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1481
1482 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1483 no plugins.
1484 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1485 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1486
1487 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1488
1489 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1490 functions.
1491
1492 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1493
1494 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1495
1496 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1497
1498 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1499 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1500
1501 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1502
1503 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1504 instead of in libguile.
1505 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1506 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1507
1508 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1509
1510 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1511 procedures.
1512 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1513 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1514
1515 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1516
1517 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1518 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1519
1520 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1521
1522 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1523 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1524 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1525 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1526
1527 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1528
1529 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1530 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1531
1532 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1533
1534 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1535
1536 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1537
1538 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1539 keywords and symbols.
1540
1541 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1542
1543 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1544
1545 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1546 Don't define read-sharp.
1547
1548 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1549 (read-sharp): removed.
1550 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1551 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1552
1553 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1554
1555 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1556
1557 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1558 primitive procedure.)
1559
1560 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1561 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1562
1563 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1564
1565 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1566
1567 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1568
1569 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1570
1571 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1572
1573 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1574 read gets EOF.
1575 * (exit): alias for quit.
1576
1577 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1578
1579 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1580 return the quit args.
1581 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1582 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1583 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1584
1585 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1586
1587 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1588
1589 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1590
1591 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1592 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1593
1594 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1595 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1596
1597 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1598 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1599 of handlers.
1600
1601 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1602
1603 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1604
1605 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1606 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1607 Change hooks to use these functions.
1608
1609 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1610 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1611 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1612 the source! :-)
1613 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1614 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1615 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1616 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1617 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1618 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1619 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1620 traced.
1621
1622 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1623 and exit-frame exceptions.
1624
1625 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1626 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1627 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1628 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1629 result; otherwise display "> ".
1630 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1631
1632 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1633 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1634 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1635 repository version runnable.
1636
1637 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1638
1639 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1640 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1641 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1642 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1643 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1644 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1645
1646 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1647
1648 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1649 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1650 and eval.
1651 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1652 "defined?".
1653 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1654 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1655
1656 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1657
1658 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1659
1660 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1661
1662 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1663 %read-sharp layer.
1664
1665 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1666
1667 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1668 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1669
1670 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1671
1672 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1673 backtrace.c.)
1674
1675 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1676
1677 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1678 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1679
1680 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1681
1682 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1683
1684 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1685 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1686 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1687 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1688 dynamic linking of modules.
1689 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1690 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1691
1692 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1693
1694 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1695
1696 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1697
1698 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1699 that's what it is.
1700
1701 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1702 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1703 was false.
1704
1705 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1706
1707 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1708 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1709 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1710
1711 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1712
1713 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1714 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1715 yet.
1716
1717 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1718
1719 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1720 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1721 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1722
1723 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1724
1725 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1726 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1727 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1728 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1729
1730 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1731 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1732 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1733 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1734 (such as the-scm-module).
1735
1736 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1737
1738 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1739 %search-load-path.
1740
1741 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1742
1743 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1744 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1745 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1746
1747 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1748
1749 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1750 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1751 function, use it accordingly.
1752
1753 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1754
1755 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1756 function of no arguments.
1757 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1758 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1759 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1760 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1761 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1762 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1763 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1764 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1765
1766 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1767
1768 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1769 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1770
1771 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1772
1773 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1774 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1775 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1776 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1777 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1778
1779 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1780 `*features*'.
1781
1782 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1783 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1784 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1785 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1786
1787 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1788
1789 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1790
1791 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1792 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1793 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1794
1795 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1796 error.
1797
1798 Added `before-read-hook'.
1799
1800 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1801
1802 (provide): New function.
1803
1804 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1805 in backtraces.
1806
1807 (backtrace): New function.
1808
1809 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1810 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1811 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1812 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1813 is found in operator position in a frame.
1814
1815 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1816 by default.
1817
1818 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1819 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1820 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1821
1822 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1823
1824 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1825
1826 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1827
1828 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1829
1830 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1831
1832 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1833
1834 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1835 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1836
1837 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1838 so they'll get distributed.
1839
1840 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1841 should see as little clutter as possible.
1842 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1843 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1844 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1845
1846 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1847 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1848 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1849 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1850 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1851 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1852 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1853 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1854 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1855 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1856 that are not.
1857 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1858 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1859
1860 * test.scm: New file.
1861
1862 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1863 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1864 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1865
1866 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1867 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1868
1869 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1870 work now.
1871 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1872 call %load-announce.
1873
1874 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1875
1876 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1877 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1878 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1879 components.
1880 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1881
1882 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1883
1884 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1885 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1886 SCSH (which this isn't).
1887
1888 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1889
1890 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1891
1892 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1893
1894 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1895 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1896 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1897 these.
1898 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1899 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1900 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1901 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1902 save-stack.
1903
1904 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1905
1906 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1907
1908 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1909
1910 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1911 error-catching-loop.
1912 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1913 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1914 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1915
1916 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1917 error-catching-loop.
1918
1919 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1920
1921 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1922 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1923 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1924 should be '(), not #f.
1925
1926 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1927 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1928
1929 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1930
1931 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1932 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1933 error-signal.
1934
1935 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1936
1937 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1938 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1939 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1940 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1941
1942 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1943
1944 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1945
1946 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1947
1948 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1949
1950 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1951 throw-handler-default.
1952 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1953 reported.
1954 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1955 acro.
1956 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1957 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1958
1959 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1960
1961 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1962 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1963 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1964 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1965
1966 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1967
1968 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1969 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1970 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1971 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1972 ...))
1973 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1974 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
1975 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
1976 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
1977 file-is-directory?
1978
1979 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1980
1981 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
1982
1983 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
1984 distribution.
1985
1986 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
1987 `switch-repl'.
1988
1989 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
1990
1991 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1992
1993 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
1994 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
1995
1996 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1997
1998 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
1999
2000 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2001
2002 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2003
2004 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2005 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2006 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2007 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2008 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2009
2010 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2011 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2012 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2013 they seem redundant.
2014 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2015 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2016 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2017 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2018 directly files starting with "/").
2019 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2020 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2021
2022 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2023
2024 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2025
2026 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2027 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2028 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2029 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2030 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2031 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2032 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2033 robust to just do it in the C code.
2034
2035 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2036
2037 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2038 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2039 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2040 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2041 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2042
2043 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2044
2045 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2046 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2047 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2048
2049 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2050
2051 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2052 system-error, not every kind of error.
2053 (scm-error): new procedure.
2054
2055 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2056
2057 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2058
2059 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2060
2061 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2062 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2063 of args are supplied.
2064 (%%system-errors): removed.
2065 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2066 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2067 %%handle-system-error.
2068 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2069 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2070 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2071 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2072
2073 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2074
2075 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2076 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2077 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2078 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2079
2080 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2081
2082 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2083 the empty list if they are #f.
2084 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2085
2086 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2087
2088 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2089
2090 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2091 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2092 aborting, just the key and subr.
2093 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2094 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2095 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2096
2097 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2098
2099 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2100 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2101 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2102 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2103 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2104
2105 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2106
2107 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2108 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2109 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2110 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2111
2112 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2113
2114 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2115 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2116 initialize %load-path.
2117
2118 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2119 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2120
2121 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2122
2123 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2124 Add the directory named after the version number.
2125 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2126 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2127 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2128 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2129 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2130 (install): Create the above directories.
2131 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2132 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2133
2134 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2135
2136 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2137 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2138 in the Makefile directly.
2139 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2140 for these.
2141 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2142 aux_files.
2143 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2144 here, where people expect to find them.
2145
2146 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2147
2148 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2149 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2150
2151 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2152
2153 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2154
2155 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2156 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2157
2158 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2159
2160 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2161 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2162
2163 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2164 weak-key-hash-table.
2165
2166 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2167
2168 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2169 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2170 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2171 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2172 (%open-file): removed.
2173 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2174 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2175
2176 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2177
2178 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2179 (manifest): Deleted.
2180 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2181 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2182
2183 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2184
2185 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2186 now that they throw errors directly.
2187 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2188 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2189
2190 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2191
2192 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
