   2
   3         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
   4         Convert first argument to a string.
   5
   6         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
   7         getter-and-setter-syntax,
   8         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
   9         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
  10
  11         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
  14
  15 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
  18
  19 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  20
  21         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
  22         `symbol-append'.
  23         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
  24         args.
  25         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
  26         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
  27         even worked...  /mdj.
  28         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
  29         `symbol->string'.
  30         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
  31         semantics.
  32
  33 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  34
  35         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
  36         form set!.
  37
  38 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  39
  40         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
  41         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
  42
  43 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  44
  45         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.
  46
  47 2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  48

  55
  56 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  57
  58         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
  59         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
  60         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
  61         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
  62         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
  63
  64         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
  65
  66 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  67
  68         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
  69         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
  70
  71         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
  72         syntactic bindings.
  73
  74         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
  75         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
  76         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
  77         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
  78
  79         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
  80
  81         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
  82         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
  83
  84         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
  85
  86         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
  87         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
  88
  89 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
  90
  91         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
  92         definition of module-type.
  93
  94         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
  95
  96         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
  97
  98         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
  99         lines.
 100         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 101         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 102
 103 >>>>>>> 1.341
 104 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 105
 106         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 107
 108 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 109
 110         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 111         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 112         Mikael for the suggestion.
 113
 114 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 115
 116         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 117         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 118
 119 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 120
 121         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 122         for export args.
 123
 124 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 125
 126         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 127
 128 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 129
 130         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 131         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 132         for the hint.
 133
 134         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 135         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 136         tail recursive yet.
 137
 138 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 141         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 142
 143         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 144         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 145         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 146         See NEWS.
 147         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 148
 149         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 150
 151 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 152
 153         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 154         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 155
 156 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 157
 158         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 159         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 160
 161 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 162
 163         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 164         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 165
 166 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 167
 168         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 169
 170         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 171
 172         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 173
 174 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 175
 176         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 177         '() instead of #f.
 178         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 179         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 180         `the-root-module'.
 181         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 182
 183         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 184         documentation.scm.
 185
 186         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 187         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 188         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 189         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 190         (help): Rewritten.
 191
 192         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 193
 194         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 195
 196 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 197
 198         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 199         (write-all): Removed.
 200         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 201         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 202
 203 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 204
 205         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 206         `proc-documentation'
 207
 208         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 209         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 210         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 211         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 212         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 213         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 214         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 215         getter...)
 216
 217 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 218
 219         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 220
 221 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 222
 223         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 224         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 225         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 226         closure.
 227
 228 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 229
 230         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 231         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 232         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 233         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 234         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 235         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 236         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 237
 238 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 239
 240         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 241         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 242
 243 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 244
 245         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 246         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 247
 248 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 249
 250         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 251         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 252         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 253         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 254         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 255         delete-if! when iterating.
 256
 257 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 258
 259         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 260
 261 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 262
 263         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 264
 265 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 266
 267         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 268         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 269         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 270         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 271
 272 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 273
 274         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 275         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 276
 277 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 278
 279         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 280         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 281         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 282         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 283
 284 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 285
 286         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 287         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 288
 289 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 290
 291         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 292         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 293
 294 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 297         Dirk Hermann!
 298
 299 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 300
 301         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 302         source of the numerous very short changes.
 303
 304 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 305
 306         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 307         public.
 308
 309         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 310         info pages.
 311
 312 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 313
 314         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 315         from slib docs.
 316
 317 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 318
 319         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 320         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 321
 322 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 323
 324         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 325         to string-append.
 326
 327 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 328
 329         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 330         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 331         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 332
 333 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 334
 335         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 336         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 337         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 338         Narazaki for this change.
 339
 340 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 341
 342         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 343         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 344         %S.
 345
 346         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 347         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 348
 349 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 350
 351         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 352         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 353
 354 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 355
 356         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 357         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 358         use define-public to export from the module.
 359
 360 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 361
 362         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 363         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 364         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 365
 366 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 367
 368         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 369
 370 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 371
 372         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 373         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 374
 375 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 376
 377         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 380

 393 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 394
 395         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 396         script to create generated files like this one.
 397
 398 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 399
 400         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 401         available before using getpw and getuid.
 402         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 403         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 404         check for stat.
 405         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 406         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 407         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 408         available.
 409         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 410         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 411         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 412
 413         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 414         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 415
 416         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 417
 418 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 419
 420         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 421         than 'exit-debugger.

 439 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 440
 441         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 442         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 443         Badros.)
 444
 445 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 446
 447         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 448         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 449

 451
 452         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

 467
 468         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 469         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 470

 472
 473 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 476         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.

 479
 480         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 481         argument.
 482
 483         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 484         both forward and backward views of the stack
 485         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 486         Use selector `frame-number';
 487         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 488         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.

 491
 492 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 493
 494         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 495         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 496         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 497
 498         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 499         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 500         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 501
 502 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 503
 504         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 505
 506         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 507
 508         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 509
 510         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 511
 512 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 513
 514         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 515         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 516         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 517         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 518         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 519         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 520         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 521         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 522         libguile-config-stamp.
 523         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 524         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 525         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 526         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 527         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 528
 529 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 530
 531         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 532         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 533         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 534
 535         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 536         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 537         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 538         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 539         readline.
 540
 541         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 542
 543 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 544
 545         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 546
 547 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 548
 549         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 550         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 551
 552 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 553
 554         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 555         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 556         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 557         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 558         objects starting with '#/'.
 559
 560 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 561
 562         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 563         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 564         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 565         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 566         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 567         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 568         `observer-id'.
 569         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 570         module-modified): New procedures.
 571         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 572         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 573
 574 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 575
 576         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 577         defines.
 578
 579 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 580
 581         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 582         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 583         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 584
 585         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 586         position.
 587
 588 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 589
 590         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 591         at multiple calls to read.
 592         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 593         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 594         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 595         continued-lines prompt.
 596
 597         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 598         reading expressions.
 599
 600 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 601
 602         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 603         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 604
 605 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 606
 607         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 608         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 609         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 610
 611         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 612
 613         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 614         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 615
 616         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 617         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 618         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 619         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 620         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 621         instead of a port.
 622
 623 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 624
 625         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 626         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 627
 628         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 629
 630         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 631         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 632         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 633         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 634
 635         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 636
 637         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 638
 639         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 640         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 641         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 642         an alist.
 643
 644         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 645
 646         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 647         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 648         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 649         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 650         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 651         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 652         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 653         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 654         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 655         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 656         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
 657
 658         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 659
 660         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 661         peeked from the stream.
 662         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 663         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 664         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 665
 666         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 667
 668         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 669         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 670
 671         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 672
 673         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 674         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 675         exiting repl with single control-D.
 676
 677         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 678
 679         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 680         error catching loop after quit received.
 681         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 682
 683         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 684         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 685         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 686
 687         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 688         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 689         boot-9.scm.
 690         * popen.scm: new file.
 691
 692 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 693
 694        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 695        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 696
 697 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 698
 699         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 700         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 701
 702 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 703
 704         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 705         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 706         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 707         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 708         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 709
 710 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 711
 712         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 713
 714         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 715         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 716
 717         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 718         Guile's module system.
 719
 720         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 721         changes:
 722         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 723         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 724         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 725         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 726         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 727         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 728         modern CL behavior.
 729         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 730         '() when the condition is false.
 731
 732 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

 735
 736 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 737
 738         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 739
 740 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 741
 742         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 743         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 744         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 745
 746 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

 749         argument order for hash-fold.
 750
 751 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 752
 753         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 754         resolve-module.
 755         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 756         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 757
 758         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 759         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 760         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 761         has been added to the load path).
 762
 763         Use try-load-module.
 764
 765 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 766
 767         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 768         module between system and user state.
 769
 770 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 771
 772         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 773
 774         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 775         definition.
 776
 777 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 778
 779         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 780         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 781         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 782
 783 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 784
 785         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 786         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 787         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 788         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 789         stack frame encountered.
 790
 791         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 792         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 793         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 794         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 795         list).]
 796
 797         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 798         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 799         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 800         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 801         please tell me!]
 802
 803         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 804         define-module switches:
 805
 806         (define-module (foo)
 807           :no-backtrace)
 808
 809         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 810         modules.
 811
 812         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 813         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 814         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 815         module it is a system frame.
 816
 817         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 818         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 819         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 820         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 821         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 822
 823         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 824         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 825         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 826         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 827         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 828         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 829
 830         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 831         status of a module.;
 832         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 833         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 834
 835         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 836         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 837         closure to the module.
 838
 839         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
 840
 841 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 842
 843         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
 844
 845 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 846
 847         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
 848
 849 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 850
 851         Fix from Russ McManus:
 852         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 853         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 854         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 855         either an optional or required value.
 856
 857 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 858
 859         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 860
 861         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 862         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 863
 864         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 865         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 866         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 867         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 868
 869 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 870
 871         * optargs.scm: New file.
 872         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 873         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 874
 875 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 876
 877         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 878         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 879         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 880
 881 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 882
 883         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 884         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 885         for isn't loaded.
 886
 887 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 888
 889         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 890
 891 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 892
 893         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 894         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 895         applied to the module itself.
 896
 897 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 898
 899         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 900
 901         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
 902         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
 903
 904 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 905
 906         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
 907
 908 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 909
 910         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
 911
 912 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 913
 914         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
 915         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
 916
 917 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 918
 919         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
 920         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
 921         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
 922         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
 923         among BINDINGS is referenced.
 924         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
 925         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
 926
 927 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 928
 929         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
 930         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
 931
 932 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
 933
 934         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
 935         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
 936         static libraries.
 937
 938 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 939
 940         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
 941
 942 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 943
 944         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
 945
 946 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 947
 948         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
 949         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
 950         adapt to the new hooks.
 951
 952 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 953
 954         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
 955         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
 956         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
 957         code.
 958         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
 959         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
 960
 961         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
 962         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
 963         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
 964         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
 965         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
 966         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
 967         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
 968         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
 969         first to register linked modules.
 970
 971         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
 972         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
 973         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
 974
 975         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
 976         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
 977         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
 978         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
 979
 980         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
 981         to use from C:
 982         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
 983         libguile/feature.c.
 984
 985         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
 986         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
 987         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
 988
 989 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
 990
 991         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
 992         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
 993         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
 994
 995 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 996
 997         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
 998         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
 999         result of the last form.
1000
1001 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1002
1003         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1004         syncase.scm.
1005
1006         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1007
1008         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1009         readline-set!: New options interface.
1010
1011         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1012
1013 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1014
1015         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1016         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1017
1018 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1019
1020         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1021         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1022
1023 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1024
1025         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1026         interactive session.
1027         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1028
1029         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1030         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1031
1032 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1033
1034         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1035
1036 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1037
1038         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1039         read line was empty.
1040
1041 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1042
1043         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1044         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1045
1046         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1047
1048         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1049         problem.  Duh.
1050         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1051         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1052         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1053
1054         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1055         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1056         into...
1057         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1058         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1059         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1060
1061         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1062         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1063         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1064         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1065         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1066         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1067         psyntax.ss.
1068         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1069
1070         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1071         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1072
1073 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1074
1075         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1076         and short vectors #h(...).
1077
1078 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1079
1080         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1081         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1082         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1083
1084 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1085
1086         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1087         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1088         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1089
1090 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1091
1092         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1093         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1094
1095         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1096         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1097         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1098         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1099
1100 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1101
1102         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1103         trace flag.
1104
1105         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1106         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1107         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1108         context with traps enabled.
1109
1110 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1111
1112         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1113         module.
1114         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).

1117
1118         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1119         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1120         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1121         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1122         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.

1124 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1125
1126         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1127         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1128
1129 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1130
1131         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1132
1133 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1134
1135         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1136
1137 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1138
1139         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1140
1141 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1142
1143         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1144         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1145
1146 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1147
1148         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1149         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1150         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1151         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1152         Archibald.)
1153
1154         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1155         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1156         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1157
1158 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1159
1160         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1161         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1162         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1163         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1164         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1165         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1166         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1167
1168 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1171
1172 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1175         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1176         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1177         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1178         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1179         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1180
1181 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1182
1183         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1184         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1185         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1186         Steven G. Johnson.)
1187
1188 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1189
1190         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1191
1192 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1193
1194         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1195
1196 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1197
1198         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1199         be completed.
1200
1201 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1202
1203         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1204
1205 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1206
1207         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1208         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1209
1210 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1211
1212         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1213         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1214         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1215         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1216         transformer.
1217         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1218         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1219
1220 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1221
1222         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1223
1224 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1225
1226         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1227         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1228         completion.
1229
1230         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1231         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1232
1233         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1234         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1235         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1236
1237         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1238
1239 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1240
1241         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1242
1243         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1244         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1245
1246 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1247
1248         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1249
1250 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1251
1252         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1253         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1254
1255         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1256
1257         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1258         obsolete.
1259
1260 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1261
1262         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1263         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1264
1265 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1266
1267         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1268
1269 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1270
1271         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1272         Stachowiak.)
1273
1274 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1275
1276         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1277         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1278         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1279         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1280         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1281         threads.
1282
1283 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1284
1285         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1286         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1287         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1288
1289 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1290
1291         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1292
1293         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1294         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1295
1296 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1297
1298         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1299         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1300         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1301         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1302         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1303         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1304         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1305         to go here.
1306
1307 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1308
1309         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1310         is now a fluid.
1311
1312 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1313
1314         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1315         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1316         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1317         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1318         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1319         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1320
1321 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1322
1323         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1324         usefully so they will work from a script.
1325
1326 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1327
1328         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1329         neighborhood of the record code.
1330
1331 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1332
1333         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1334         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1335         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1336         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1337
1338 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1339
1340         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1341         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1342         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1343
1344 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1345
1346         Add support for readline function.
1347         * readline.scm: New module.
1348         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1349         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1350         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1351         anything.
1352         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1353         repl-reader to use them.
1354         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1355
1356         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1357
1358 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1359
1360         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1361         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1362
1363 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1364
1365         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1366         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1367         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1368
1369 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1370
1371         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1372         #f, abort terminates the process.
1373         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1374         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1375
1376 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1377
1378         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1379         print-state, throw it away.
1380
1381 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1382
1383         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1384         `0'.
1385
1386 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1387
1388         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1389         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1390         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1391         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1392         user field).
1393         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1394         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1395
1396 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1397
1398         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1399
1400 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1401
1402         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1403         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1404         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1405         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1406         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1407         boot-9.scm.
1408         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1409         distribution and installation.
1410         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1411
1412 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1413
1414         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1415
1416 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1417
1418         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1419         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1420         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1421
1422         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1423         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1424         symbol.
1425
1426 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1427
1428         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1431
1432 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1433
1434         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1435         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1436         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1437         field a separate argument.
1438
1439         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1440
1441 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1442
1443         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1444
1445         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1446         vicinity;
1447         Provide defmacro.
1448
1449 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1450
1451         * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1452
1453 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1454
1455         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1456         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1457         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1458         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1459         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1460         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1461         registered.
1462         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1463         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1464         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1465         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1466         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1467         link a .so-file.

1470
1471         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
1472
1473 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1474
1475         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1476         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1477
1478 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1479
1480         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1481
1482         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1483         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1484         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1485         expansion inside the slib module.
1486
1487         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1488         constructors.
1489         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1490         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
1491         (let): New core form.
1492         (if): Removed from core language.
1493         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
1494         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
1495         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1496
1497         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1498         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1499         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1500         source.
1501         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1502         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1503         been loaded.
1504
1505 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1506
1507         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1508         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1509         `use-syntax'.
1510         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1511
1512         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1513         (make-module): Modified initialization.
1514         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1515         mutator for module-associated transformer.
1516         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
1517         `scm:eval-transformer'.
1518         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1519         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1520         module.
1521         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1522
1523 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1524
1525         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1526
1527         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1528         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1529         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1530         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1531         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1532
1533         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1534         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1535         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1536         syncase macros.
1537         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1538         the syncase interface.
1539
1540 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1541
1542         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1543         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1544         workings of the current module system).
1545
1546 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1547
1548         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1549         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1550         off!
1551
1552 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1553
1554         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
1555         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1556         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1557
1558 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1559
1560         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1561         according to the following priorities:
1562         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1563         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1564         3. tcl bindings
1565         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1566         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1567         (new-interpreter): New function.
1568
1569         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1570         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1571         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1572
1573 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1574

1578
1579         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
1580
1581 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1582
1583         * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1584         procedures.

1588
1589         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1590         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1591         source!
1592
1593 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1594
1595         * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1596         (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1598         symbols matching regexp.
1599
1600         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
1601         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1602         in stack-ref).
1603
1604         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1605         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1606         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1607         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1608         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1609         result protocol;
1610         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1611         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

1619         procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1620
1621         * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1622
1623 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1624
1625         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1626         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1627         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1628
1629         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
1630
1631         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
1632         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
1633         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1634
1635 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1636
1637         * session.scm: New file: Session support.
1638         (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
1639
1640 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1641
1642         * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
1643         cstime.
1644
1645 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1646
1647         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1648         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1649         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1650
1651         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1652         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1653         the top.
1654
1655         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1656         order to narrow it correctly.
1657         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
1658
1659 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1660
1661         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
1662         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
1663
1664 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1665
1666         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1667
1668 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1671         builtin `with-fluids*'.
1672
1673 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1674
1675         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1676         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1677         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1678
1679 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1680
1681         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1682         automatically.
1683
1684 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1685
1686         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1687         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1688         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1689         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1690         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1691
1692 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1693
1694         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1695         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1696         a default of /.
1697
1698         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
1699
1700 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1701
1702         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
1703         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
1704         notation, instead of #/ notation.
1705

1707         make-regexp.
1708

1710
1711         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1712         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1713         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1714         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1715         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1716         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1717
1718         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1719         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1720         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1721         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1722
1723 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1724
1725         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1726         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1727         sending in bug reports.
1728         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1729         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1730         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1731         display a warning if the two are different.
1732         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1733         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1734         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1735
1736 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1737
1738         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1739
1740 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1741
1742         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1743         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1744
1745         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1746         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1747         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1748         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1749         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1750         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1751         that's okay.
1752
1753         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1754         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1755         regexp interface.
1756
1757         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1758         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1759
1760         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1761         function names.
1762
1763         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1764         fixes.
1765
1766 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1767
1768         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1769         ../configure.in.
1770
1771 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1772
1773         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1774         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1775
1776 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1777
1778         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1779         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1780         to support printing of structures.
1781         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1782         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1783         commented out printing code.
1784         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1785         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1786
1787 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1788
1789         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1790
1791 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1792
1793         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1794         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1795         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1796         during call to scm-style-repl.
1797
1798 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1799
1800         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1801         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1802         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1803         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1804         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.

1806 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1807
1808         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1809         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1810         (ice-9 regex).
1811
1812 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1813
1814         * regex.scm: New file.
1815         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1816         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1817
1818 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1819
1820         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1821         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1822         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

1826
1827         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1828         in 1997.
1829
1830 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1831
1832         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1833         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1834         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1835
1836 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1837
1838         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1839         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1840         here.
1841
1842 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1843
1844         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1845
1846 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1847
1848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1849
1850 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1851
1852         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1853         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1854         fixes this too.
1855
1856 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1857
1858         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1859         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1860         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1861
1862 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1863
1864         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1865         the Scheme code like code yet.
1866         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1867
1868 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1869
1870         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1871         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1872         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1873
1874 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1875
1876         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1877         use-modules macro
1878         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1879         can't be found.
1880
1881 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1882
1883         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1884
1885 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1886
1887         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1888
1889         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1890         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1891         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1892
1893 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1894
1895         Get 'make dist' to work again.
1896         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1897         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1898
1899         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1900         no plugins.
1901         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1902         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1903
1904 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1905
1906         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1907         functions.
1908

1910
1911         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1912
1913 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1914
1915         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1916         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1917
1918 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1919
1920         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1921         instead of in libguile.
1922         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1923         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1924
1925 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1926
1927         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1928         procedures.
1929         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1930         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1931
1932 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1933
1934         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1935         sockaddr:port): new functions.
1936
1937 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1938
1939         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1940         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1941         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1942         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1943
1944 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1945
1946         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1947         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1948
1949 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1952
1953 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1954
1955         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1956         keywords and symbols.
1957
1958 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1959
1960         * slib.scm: update read usage.
1961
1962         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1963         Don't define read-sharp.
1964
1965         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1966         (read-sharp): removed.
1967         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1968         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1969
1970 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1971
1972         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1973
1974         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
1975         primitive procedure.)
1976
1977         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1978         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

1981
1982         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1983
1984 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1985
1986         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1987
1988 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1989
1990         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1991         read gets EOF.
1992         * (exit): alias for quit.
1993
1994 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1997         return the quit args.
1998         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1999         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2000         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2001
2002         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2003
2004 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2005
2006         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2007
2008         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2009         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2010
2011         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2012         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2013
2014         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2015         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2016         of handlers.
2017
2018 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2019
2020         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2021
2022         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2023         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2024         Change hooks to use these functions.
2025
2026         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2027         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2028         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2029         the source! :-)
2030         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2031         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2032         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2033         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2034         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2035         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2036         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2037         traced.
2038
2039         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2040         and exit-frame exceptions.
2041
2042         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2043         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2044         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2045         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2046         result; otherwise display "> ".
2047         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2048
2049         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2050         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2051         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2052         repository version runnable.
2053
2054 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2055
2056         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2057         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2058         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2059         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2060         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2061         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2062
2063 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2064
2065         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2066         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2067         and eval.
2068         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2069         "defined?".
2070         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2071         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2072
2073 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2074
2075         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2076
2077 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2078
2079         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2080         %read-sharp layer.
2081
2082 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2083
2084         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2085         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2086
2087 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2088
2089         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2090         backtrace.c.)
2091
2092 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2093
2094         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2095         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2096
2097 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2098
2099         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2100
2101         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2102         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2103         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2104         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2105         dynamic linking of modules.
2106         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2107         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2108
2109 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2110
2111         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2112
2113 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2114
2115         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2116         that's what it is.
2117
2118         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2119         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2120         was false.
2121
2122 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2123
2124         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2125         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2126         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2127
2128 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2131         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2132         yet.
2133
2134 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2135
2136         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2137         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2138         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2139
2140 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2141
2142         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2143         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2144         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2145         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2146
2147         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2148         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2149         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2150         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2151         (such as the-scm-module).
2152
2153 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2154
2155         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2156         %search-load-path.
2157
2158 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2159
2160         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2161         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2162         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2163
2164 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2165
2166         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2167         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2168         function, use it accordingly.
2169
2170 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2171
2172         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2173         function of no arguments.
2174         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2175         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2176         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2177         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2178         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2179         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2180         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2181         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2182
2183 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2184
2185         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2186         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2187
2188 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2189
2190         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2191         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2192         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2193         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2194         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2195
2196         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2197         `*features*'.
2198
2199         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2200         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2201         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2202         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2203
2204         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2205
2206         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2207
2208         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2209         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2210         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2211
2212         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2213         error.
2214
2215         Added `before-read-hook'.
2216
2217         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2218
2219         (provide): New function.
2220
2221         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2222         in backtraces.
2223
2224         (backtrace): New function.
2225
2226         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2227         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2228         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2229         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2230         is found in operator position in a frame.
2231
2232         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2233         by default.
2234
2235         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2236         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2237         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2238
2239         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2240
2241         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2242
2243         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2244
2245         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2246
2247 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2248
2249         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2250
2251         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2252         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2253
2254         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2255         so they'll get distributed.
2256
2257         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2258         should see as little clutter as possible.
2259         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2260         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2261         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2262
2263         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2264         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2265         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2266         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2267         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2268         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2269         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2270         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2271         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2272         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2273         that are not.
2274         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2275         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2276
2277         * test.scm: New file.
2278
2279         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2280         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2281         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2282
2283         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2284         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2285
2286         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2287         work now.
2288         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2289         call %load-announce.
2290
2291 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2292
2293         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2294         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2295         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2296         components.
2297         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2298
2299 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2300
2301         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2302         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2303         SCSH (which this isn't).
2304
2305 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2306
2307         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2308
2309 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2310
2311         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2312         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2313         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2314         these.
2315         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2316         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2317         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2318         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2319         save-stack.
2320
2321 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2322
2323         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2324
2325         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2326
2327         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2328         error-catching-loop.
2329         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2330         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2331         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2332
2333         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2334         error-catching-loop.
2335
2336 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2337
2338         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2339         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2340         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2341         should be '(), not #f.
2342
2343         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2344         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2345
2346 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2349         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2350         error-signal.
2351
2352 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2353
2354         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2355         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2356         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2357         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2358
2359 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2360
2361         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2362
2363 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2364
2365         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2366
2367         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2368         throw-handler-default.
2369         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2370         reported.
2371         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2372         acro.
2373         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2374         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2375
2376 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2377
2378         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2379         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2380         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2381         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2382
2383 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2386         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2387         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2388         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2389         ...))
2390         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2391         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2392         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2393         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2394         file-is-directory?
2395
2396 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2397
2398         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2399
2400         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2401         distribution.
2402
2403         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2404         `switch-repl'.
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2407
2408 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2411         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2412
2413 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2414
2415         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2416
2417         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2418
2419 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2420
2421         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2422         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2423         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2424         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2425         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2426
2427         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2428         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2429         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2430         they seem redundant.
2431         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2432         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2433         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2434         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2435         directly files starting with "/").
2436         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2437         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2438
2439         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2440
2441 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2442
2443         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2444         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2445         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2446         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2447         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2448         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2449         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2450         robust to just do it in the C code.
2451
2452 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2453
2454         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2455         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2456         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2457         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2458         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2459
2460 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2461
2462         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2463         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2464         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2465
2466 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2467
2468         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2469         system-error, not every kind of error.
2470         (scm-error): new procedure.
2471
2472 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2473
2474         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2475
2476 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2477
2478         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2479         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2480         of args are supplied.
2481         (%%system-errors): removed.
2482         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2483         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2484         %%handle-system-error.
2485         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2486         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2487         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2488         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2489
2490 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

2515
2516         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2517         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2518         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2519         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2520         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

2557         for these.
