1 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
3 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
4 script to create generated files like this one.
6 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
8 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
9 available before using getpw and getuid.
10 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
11 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
13 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
14 check for .guile, instead of stat.
15 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
17 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
18 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
19 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
21 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
22 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
24 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
26 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
28 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
31 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
32 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
34 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
36 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
38 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
39 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
40 ("position"): New command.
41 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
42 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
43 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
44 to return a valid state.)
45 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
47 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
49 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
50 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
53 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
55 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
56 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
58 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
60 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
62 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
64 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
65 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
67 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
68 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
69 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
71 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
74 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
76 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
77 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
79 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
81 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
83 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
84 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
85 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
86 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
88 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
91 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
92 both forward and backward views of the stack
93 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
94 Use selector `frame-number';
95 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
96 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
98 Use readline conditionally.
100 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
102 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
103 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
104 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
106 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
107 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
110 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
112 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
114 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
116 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
118 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
120 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
122 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
123 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
124 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
125 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
126 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
127 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
128 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
129 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
130 libguile-config-stamp.
131 * version.scm.in: Delete.
132 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
133 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
134 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
135 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
137 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
139 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
140 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
141 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
143 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
144 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
145 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
146 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
149 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
151 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
153 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
155 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
157 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
158 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
160 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
162 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
163 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
164 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
165 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
166 objects starting with '#/'.
168 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
170 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
171 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
172 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
173 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
174 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
175 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
177 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
178 module-modified): New procedures.
179 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
180 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
182 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
184 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
187 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
189 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
190 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
191 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
193 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
196 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
198 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
199 at multiple calls to read.
200 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
201 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
202 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
203 continued-lines prompt.
205 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
208 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
210 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
211 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
213 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
215 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
216 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
219 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
221 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
222 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
224 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
225 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
226 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
227 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
228 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
231 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
233 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
234 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
236 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
238 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
239 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
240 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
241 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
243 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
245 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
247 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
248 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
249 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
252 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
254 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
255 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
256 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
257 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
258 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
259 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
260 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
261 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
262 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
263 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
264 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
266 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
268 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
269 peeked from the stream.
270 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
271 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
272 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
274 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
276 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
277 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
279 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
281 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
282 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
283 exiting repl with single control-D.
285 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
287 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
288 error catching loop after quit received.
289 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
291 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
292 primitive exit if non-interactive.
293 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
295 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
296 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
298 * popen.scm: new file.
300 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
302 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
303 (reverse-iota): removed.
305 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
307 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
308 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
310 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
312 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
313 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
314 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
315 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
316 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
318 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
320 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
322 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
323 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
325 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
326 Guile's module system.
328 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
330 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
331 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
332 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
333 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
334 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
335 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
337 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
338 '() when the condition is false.
340 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
342 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
344 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
346 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
348 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
350 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
351 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
352 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
354 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
356 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
357 argument order for hash-fold.
359 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
361 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
363 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
364 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
366 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
367 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
368 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
369 has been added to the load path).
373 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
375 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
376 module between system and user state.
378 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
380 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
382 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
385 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
387 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
388 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
389 system can create a wrapper class for it.
391 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
393 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
394 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
395 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
396 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
397 stack frame encountered.
399 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
400 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
401 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
402 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
405 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
406 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
407 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
408 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
411 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
412 define-module switches:
417 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
420 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
421 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
422 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
423 module it is a system frame.
425 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
426 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
427 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
428 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
429 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
431 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
432 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
433 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
434 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
435 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
436 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
438 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
440 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
441 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
443 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
444 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
445 closure to the module.
447 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
449 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
451 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
453 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
455 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
457 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
459 Fix from Russ McManus:
460 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
461 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
462 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
463 either an optional or required value.
465 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
467 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
469 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
470 of the '() key, not `rest'.
472 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
473 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
474 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
475 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
477 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
479 * optargs.scm: New file.
480 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
481 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
483 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
485 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
486 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
487 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
489 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
491 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
492 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
495 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
497 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
499 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
501 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
502 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
503 applied to the module itself.
505 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
507 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
509 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
510 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
512 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
514 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
516 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
518 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
520 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
522 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
523 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
525 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
527 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
528 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
529 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
530 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
531 among BINDINGS is referenced.
532 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
533 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
535 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
537 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
538 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
540 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
542 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
543 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
546 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
548 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
550 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
552 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
554 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
556 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
557 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
558 adapt to the new hooks.
560 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
562 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
563 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
564 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
566 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
567 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
569 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
570 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
571 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
572 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
573 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
574 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
575 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
576 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
577 first to register linked modules.
579 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
580 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
581 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
583 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
584 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
585 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
586 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
588 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
590 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
593 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
594 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
595 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
597 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
599 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
600 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
601 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
603 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
605 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
606 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
607 result of the last form.
609 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
611 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
614 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
616 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
617 readline-set!: New options interface.
619 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
621 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
623 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
624 at the end of boot-9.scm.
626 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
628 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
629 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
631 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
633 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
635 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
637 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
638 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
640 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
642 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
644 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
646 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
649 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
651 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
652 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
654 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
656 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
658 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
659 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
660 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
662 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
663 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
665 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
666 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
667 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
669 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
670 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
671 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
672 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
673 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
674 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
676 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
678 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
679 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
681 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
683 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
684 and short vectors #h(...).
686 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
688 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
689 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
690 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
692 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
694 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
695 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
696 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
698 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
700 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
701 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
703 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
704 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
705 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
706 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
708 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
710 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
713 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
714 order to allow the empty list as arg.
715 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
716 context with traps enabled.
718 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
720 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
722 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
724 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
726 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
727 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
728 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
729 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
730 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
732 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
734 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
735 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
737 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
739 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
741 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
743 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
745 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
747 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
749 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
751 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
752 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
754 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
756 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
757 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
758 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
759 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
762 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
763 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
764 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
766 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
768 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
769 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
770 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
771 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
772 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
773 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
774 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
776 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
778 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
780 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
782 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
783 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
784 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
785 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
786 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
787 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
789 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
791 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
792 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
793 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
796 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
798 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
800 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
802 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
804 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
806 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
809 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
811 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
813 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
815 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
816 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
818 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
820 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
821 similar in use to `use-modules'.
822 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
823 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
825 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
826 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
828 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
830 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
832 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
834 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
835 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
838 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
839 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
841 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
842 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
843 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
845 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
847 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
849 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
851 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
852 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
854 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
856 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
858 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
860 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
861 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
863 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
865 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
868 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
870 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
871 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
873 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
875 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
877 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
879 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
882 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
884 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
885 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
886 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
887 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
888 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
891 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
893 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
894 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
895 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
897 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
899 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
901 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
902 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
904 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
906 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
907 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
908 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
909 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
910 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
911 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
912 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
915 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
917 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
920 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
922 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
923 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
924 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
925 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
926 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
927 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
929 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
931 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
932 usefully so they will work from a script.
934 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
936 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
937 neighborhood of the record code.
939 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
941 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
942 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
943 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
944 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
946 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
948 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
949 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
950 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
952 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
954 Add support for readline function.
955 * readline.scm: New module.
956 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
957 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
958 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
960 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
961 repl-reader to use them.
962 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
964 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
966 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
968 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
969 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
971 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
973 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
974 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
975 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
977 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
979 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
980 #f, abort terminates the process.
981 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
982 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
984 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
986 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
987 print-state, throw it away.
989 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
991 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
994 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
996 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
997 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
998 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
999 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1001 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1002 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1004 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1006 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1008 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1010 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1011 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1012 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1013 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1014 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1016 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1017 distribution and installation.
1018 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1020 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1022 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1024 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1026 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1027 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1028 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1030 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1031 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1034 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1036 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1038 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1040 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1042 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1043 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1044 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1045 field a separate argument.
1047 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1049 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1051 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1053 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1057 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1059 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1061 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1063 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1064 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1065 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1066 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1067 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1068 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1070 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1071 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1072 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1073 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1074 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1077 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1079 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1081 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1083 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1084 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1086 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1088 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1090 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1091 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1092 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1093 expansion inside the slib module.
1095 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1097 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1098 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1099 (let): New core form.
1100 (if): Removed from core language.
1101 (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1102 (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1103 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1105 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1106 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1107 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1109 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1110 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has

1122 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1123 mutator for module-associated transformer.
1124 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set

1127 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1129 (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1131 Fri Sep 5 03:09:09 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1133 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1135 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1136 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1137 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1138 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1139 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1141 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1142 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1143 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1145 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1146 the syncase interface.
1148 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1150 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1151 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1152 workings of the current module system).
1154 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1156 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1157 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1166 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1168 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1169 according to the following priorities:
1170 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1171 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1173 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1174 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1175 (new-interpreter): New function.
1177 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1178 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1179 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1181 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1183 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1197 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1198 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1203 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1204 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1209 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1212 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when

1218 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1219 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1221 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1223 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1224 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1226 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1227 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1229 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1231 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1233 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1234 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1235 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1239 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1253 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1255 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1256 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1257 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1259 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1260 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1263 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1264 order to narrow it correctly.
1265 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1278 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1279 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1281 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1283 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1284 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1285 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1287 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1289 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1292 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1294 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1295 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1296 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1297 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1298 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1300 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1302 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

1319 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1320 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1321 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1322 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1323 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1324 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1326 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1327 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1328 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1329 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1331 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1333 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1334 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1335 sending in bug reports.
1336 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1337 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1338 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1339 display a warning if the two are different.
1340 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1341 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1342 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1350 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1351 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1353 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1354 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1355 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1356 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1357 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1358 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1361 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1362 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1365 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1366 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1368 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1371 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1374 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1379 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1381 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1382 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1384 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1386 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1387 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1388 to support printing of structures.
1389 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1390 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1391 commented out printing code.
1392 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1393 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1399 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1401 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1402 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1403 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1404 during call to scm-style-repl.
1406 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1408 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1409 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1410 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1411 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1412 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1414 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1416 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1417 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1420 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1422 * regex.scm: New file.
1423 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.

1429 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1430 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1431 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1433 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1435 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1438 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1440 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1441 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1442 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1444 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1446 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1447 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1450 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1452 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1456 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1458 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1460 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1461 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1464 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1466 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1467 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1468 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1470 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1472 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1473 the Scheme code like code yet.
1474 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1476 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1478 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1479 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1480 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1482 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1484 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1486 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1489 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1491 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1493 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1495 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1497 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1498 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1499 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1501 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1503 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1504 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1505 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1507 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,

1528 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1529 instead of in libguile.

1533 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1535 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1537 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

1547 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1548 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1549 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1550 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1552 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1554 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,

1568 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1570 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1571 Don't define read-sharp.
1573 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1574 (read-sharp): removed.
1575 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1576 case_i or read-sharp arguments.

1604 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1605 return the quit args.
1606 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1607 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1608 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1610 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1612 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1616 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1617 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1619 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1620 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1622 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1623 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1626 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1628 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1630 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1631 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1632 Change hooks to use these functions.
1634 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1635 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1636 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1638 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1639 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1640 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1641 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1642 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1643 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1644 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1647 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1648 and exit-frame exceptions.
1650 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1651 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1652 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1653 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1654 result; otherwise display "> ".
1655 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1657 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1658 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1659 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1660 repository version runnable.
1662 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1664 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1665 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1666 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1667 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1668 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1669 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1671 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1673 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1674 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1676 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1678 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1679 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1681 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1683 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1685 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1687 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1690 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1692 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1693 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1695 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1697 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1700 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1702 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1703 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1705 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1707 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1709 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1710 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1711 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1712 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1713 dynamic linking of modules.
1714 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1715 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1717 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1719 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1721 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1723 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1726 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1727 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1730 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1732 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1733 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1734 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1736 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1738 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1739 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1742 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1744 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1745 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1746 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1748 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1750 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1751 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1752 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1753 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1755 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1756 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1757 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1758 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1759 (such as the-scm-module).
1761 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1763 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1766 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1768 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1769 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1770 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1772 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1774 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1775 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1776 function, use it accordingly.
1778 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1780 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1781 function of no arguments.
1782 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1783 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1784 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1785 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1786 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1787 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1788 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1789 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1791 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1793 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1794 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1796 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1798 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1799 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1800 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1801 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1802 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1804 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1807 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1808 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1809 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1810 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1812 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1814 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1816 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1817 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1818 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1820 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1823 Added `before-read-hook'.
1825 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1827 (provide): New function.
1829 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1832 (backtrace): New function.
1834 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1835 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1836 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1837 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1838 is found in operator position in a frame.
1840 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1843 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1844 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1845 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1847 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1849 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1851 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1853 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1855 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1857 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1859 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1860 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1862 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1863 so they'll get distributed.
1865 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1866 should see as little clutter as possible.
1867 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1868 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1869 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1871 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1872 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1873 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1874 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1875 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1876 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1877 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1878 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1879 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1880 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1882 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1883 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1885 * test.scm: New file.
1887 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1888 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1889 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1891 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1892 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1894 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1896 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1897 call %load-announce.
1899 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1901 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1902 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1903 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1905 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
1907 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1909 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
1910 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
1911 SCSH (which this isn't).
1913 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1915 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
1917 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1919 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
1920 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
1921 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
1923 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
1924 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
1925 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
1926 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
1929 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1931 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
1933 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
1935 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
1936 error-catching-loop.
1937 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
1938 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
1939 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
1941 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
1942 error-catching-loop.
1944 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1946 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
1947 (make-module): Rework for readability.
1948 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
1949 should be '(), not #f.
1951 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
1952 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
1954 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1956 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
1957 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
1960 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1962 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
1963 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
1964 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
1965 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
1967 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1969 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
1971 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
1973 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
1975 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
1976 throw-handler-default.
1977 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
1979 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
1981 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
1982 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
1984 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1986 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
1987 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
1988 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
1989 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
1991 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1993 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
1994 Append "." to the default %load-path.
1995 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
1996 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
1998 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
1999 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2000 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2001 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2004 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2006 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2008 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2011 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2014 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2016 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2018 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2019 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2021 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2023 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2025 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2027 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2029 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2030 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2031 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2032 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2033 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2035 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2036 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2037 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2038 they seem redundant.
2039 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2040 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2041 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2042 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2043 directly files starting with "/").
2044 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2045 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2047 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2049 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2051 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2052 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2053 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2054 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2055 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2056 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2057 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2058 robust to just do it in the C code.
2060 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2062 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2063 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2064 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2065 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2066 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2068 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2070 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2071 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2072 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2074 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2076 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2077 system-error, not every kind of error.
2078 (scm-error): new procedure.
2080 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2082 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2084 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2086 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2087 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2088 of args are supplied.
2089 (%%system-errors): removed.
2090 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2091 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2092 %%handle-system-error.
2093 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2094 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2095 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2096 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2098 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2100 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2101 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2102 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2103 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2105 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2107 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2108 the empty list if they are #f.
2109 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2111 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2113 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2115 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.

2124 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2125 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2126 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2127 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2128 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
