1 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
3 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
4 source of the numerous very short changes.
6 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
8 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
11 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
14 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
16 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
19 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
21 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
22 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
24 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
26 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
29 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
31 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
32 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
33 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
35 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
37 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
38 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
39 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
40 Narazaki for this change.
42 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
44 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
45 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
48 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
49 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
51 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
53 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
54 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
56 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
58 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
59 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
60 use define-public to export from the module.
62 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
64 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
65 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
66 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
68 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
70 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
72 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
74 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
75 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
77 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
79 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
81 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
83 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
85 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
87 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
88 long_long uniform vectors.
90 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
92 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
93 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
95 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
97 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
98 script to create generated files like this one.
100 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
102 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
103 available before using getpw and getuid.
104 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
105 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
107 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
108 check for .guile, instead of stat.
109 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
111 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
112 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
113 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
115 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
116 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
118 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
120 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
122 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
125 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
126 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
128 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
130 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
132 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
133 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
134 ("position"): New command.
135 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
136 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
137 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
138 to return a valid state.)
139 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
141 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
143 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
144 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
147 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
149 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
150 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
152 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
154 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
156 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
158 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
159 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
161 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
162 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
163 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
165 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
168 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
170 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
171 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
173 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
175 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
177 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
178 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
179 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
180 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
182 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
185 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
186 both forward and backward views of the stack
187 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
188 Use selector `frame-number';
189 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
190 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
192 Use readline conditionally.
194 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
196 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
197 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
198 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
200 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
201 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
204 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
206 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
208 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
210 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
212 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
214 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
216 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
217 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
218 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
219 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
220 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
221 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
222 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
223 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
224 libguile-config-stamp.
225 * version.scm.in: Delete.
226 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
227 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
228 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
229 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
231 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
233 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
234 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
235 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
237 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
238 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
239 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
240 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
243 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
245 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
247 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
249 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
251 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
252 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
254 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
256 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
257 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
258 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
259 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
260 objects starting with '#/'.
262 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
264 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
265 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
266 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
267 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
268 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
269 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
271 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
272 module-modified): New procedures.
273 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
274 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
276 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
278 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
281 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
283 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
284 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
285 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
287 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
290 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
292 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
293 at multiple calls to read.
294 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
295 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
296 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
297 continued-lines prompt.
299 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
302 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
304 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
305 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
307 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
309 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
310 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
313 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
315 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
316 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
318 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
319 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
320 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
321 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
322 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
325 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
327 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
328 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
330 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
332 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
333 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
334 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
335 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
337 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
339 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
341 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
342 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
343 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
346 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
348 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
349 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
350 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
351 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
352 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
353 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
354 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
355 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
356 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
357 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
358 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
360 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
362 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
363 peeked from the stream.
364 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
365 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
366 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
368 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
370 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
371 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
373 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
375 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
376 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
377 exiting repl with single control-D.
379 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
381 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
382 error catching loop after quit received.
383 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
385 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
386 primitive exit if non-interactive.
387 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
389 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
390 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
392 * popen.scm: new file.
394 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
396 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
397 (reverse-iota): removed.
399 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
401 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
402 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
404 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
406 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
407 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
408 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
409 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
410 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
412 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
414 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
416 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
417 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
419 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
420 Guile's module system.
422 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
424 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
425 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
426 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
427 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
428 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
429 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
431 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
432 '() when the condition is false.
434 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
436 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
438 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
440 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
442 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
444 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
445 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
446 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
448 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
450 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
451 argument order for hash-fold.
453 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
455 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
457 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
458 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
460 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
461 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
462 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
463 has been added to the load path).
467 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
469 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
470 module between system and user state.
472 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
474 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
476 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
479 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
481 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
482 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
483 system can create a wrapper class for it.
485 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
487 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
488 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
489 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
490 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
491 stack frame encountered.
493 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
494 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
495 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
496 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
499 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
500 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
501 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
502 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
505 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
506 define-module switches:
511 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
514 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
515 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
516 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
517 module it is a system frame.
519 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
520 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
521 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
522 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
523 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
525 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
526 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
527 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
528 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
529 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
530 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
532 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
534 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
535 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
537 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
538 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
539 closure to the module.
541 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
543 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
545 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
547 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
549 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
551 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
553 Fix from Russ McManus:
554 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
555 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
556 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
557 either an optional or required value.
559 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
561 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
563 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
564 of the '() key, not `rest'.
566 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
567 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
568 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
569 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
571 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
573 * optargs.scm: New file.
574 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
575 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
577 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
579 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
580 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
581 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
583 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
585 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
586 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
589 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
591 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
593 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
595 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
596 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
597 applied to the module itself.
599 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
601 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
603 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
604 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
606 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
608 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
610 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
612 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
614 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
616 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
617 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
619 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
621 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
622 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
623 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
624 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
625 among BINDINGS is referenced.
626 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
627 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
629 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
631 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
632 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
634 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
636 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
637 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
640 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
642 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
644 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
646 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
648 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
650 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
651 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
652 adapt to the new hooks.
654 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
656 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
657 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
658 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
660 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
661 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
663 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
664 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
665 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
666 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
667 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
668 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
669 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
670 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
671 first to register linked modules.
673 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
674 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
675 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
677 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
678 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
679 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
680 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
682 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
684 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
687 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
688 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
689 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
691 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
693 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
694 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
695 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
697 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
699 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
700 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
701 result of the last form.
703 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
705 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
708 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
710 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
711 readline-set!: New options interface.
713 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
715 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
717 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
718 at the end of boot-9.scm.
720 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
722 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
723 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
725 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
727 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
729 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
731 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
732 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
734 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
736 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
738 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
740 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
743 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
745 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
746 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
748 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
750 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
752 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
753 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
754 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
756 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
757 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
759 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
760 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
761 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
763 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
764 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
765 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
766 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
767 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
768 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
770 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
772 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
773 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
775 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
777 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
778 and short vectors #h(...).
780 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
782 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
783 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
784 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
786 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
788 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
789 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
790 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
792 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
794 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
795 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
797 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
798 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
799 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
800 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
802 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
804 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
807 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
808 order to allow the empty list as arg.
809 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
810 context with traps enabled.
812 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
814 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
816 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
818 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
820 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
821 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
822 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
823 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
824 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
826 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
828 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
829 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
831 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
833 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
835 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
837 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
839 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
841 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
843 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
845 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
846 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
848 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
850 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
851 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
852 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
853 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
856 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
857 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
858 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
860 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
862 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
863 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
864 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
865 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
866 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
867 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
868 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
870 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
872 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
874 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
876 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
877 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
878 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
879 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
880 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
881 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
883 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
885 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
886 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
887 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
890 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
892 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
894 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
896 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
898 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
900 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
903 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
905 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
907 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
909 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
910 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
912 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
914 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
915 similar in use to `use-modules'.
916 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
917 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
919 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
920 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
922 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
924 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
926 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
928 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
929 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
932 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
933 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
935 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
936 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
937 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
939 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
941 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
943 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
945 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
946 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
948 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
950 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
952 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
954 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
955 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
957 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
959 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
962 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
964 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
965 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
967 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
969 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
971 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
973 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
976 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
978 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
979 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
980 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
981 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
982 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
985 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
987 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
988 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
989 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
991 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
993 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
995 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
996 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
998 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1000 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1001 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1002 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1003 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1004 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1005 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1006 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1009 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1011 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1014 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1016 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1017 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1018 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1019 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1020 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1021 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1023 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1025 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1026 usefully so they will work from a script.
1028 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1030 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1031 neighborhood of the record code.
1033 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1035 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1036 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1037 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1038 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1040 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1042 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1043 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1044 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1046 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1048 Add support for readline function.
1049 * readline.scm: New module.
1050 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1051 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1052 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1054 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1055 repl-reader to use them.
1056 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1058 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1060 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1062 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1063 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1065 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1067 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1068 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1069 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1071 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1073 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1074 #f, abort terminates the process.
1075 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1076 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1078 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1080 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1081 print-state, throw it away.
1083 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1085 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1088 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1090 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1091 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1092 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1093 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1095 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1096 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1098 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1100 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1102 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1104 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1105 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1106 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1107 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1108 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1110 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

1118 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1120 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1121 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1122 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1124 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1125 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1128 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1130 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1132 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1134 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1136 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,

1138 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1139 field a separate argument.
1141 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1143 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1145 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1147 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1158 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1159 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1160 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1161 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1162 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1164 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1165 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1166 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1167 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1168 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1171 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1173 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1178 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1180 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1182 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1184 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1185 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1186 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1187 expansion inside the slib module.
1189 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1191 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1192 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1197 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1199 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1200 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1201 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1203 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1204 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1207 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1209 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1210 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1212 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1214 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1215 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1216 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1217 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1219 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1220 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1221 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1227 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1229 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1230 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1231 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1232 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1233 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1235 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1236 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1237 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1239 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1240 the syncase interface.
1242 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1244 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1245 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1246 workings of the current module system).
1248 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1250 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1251 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
1254 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1256 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).

1258 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
1260 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1262 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1263 according to the following priorities:
1264 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1265 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1267 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1268 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1269 (new-interpreter): New function.
1271 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1272 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1273 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1275 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1277 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1279 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1281 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1291 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1292 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the

1297 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1298 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.

1303 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1306 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1307 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1308 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);

1310 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1312 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1313 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1315 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1317 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.
1318 (whitespace-chars): Include #\np.
1320 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
1321 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.
1323 * psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.
1325 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1327 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1328 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1329 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.

1333 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

1347 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1349 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1350 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1351 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1353 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1354 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1357 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1358 order to narrow it correctly.
1359 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1366 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1368 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

1372 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1373 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1375 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1377 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1378 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1379 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
1381 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1383 * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
1386 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1388 * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
1389 dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
1390 (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
1391 (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
1392 Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
1394 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1396 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
1397 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
1400 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.

1413 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
1414 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
1415 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
1416 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1417 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1418 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1420 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1421 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1422 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1423 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1425 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1427 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1428 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1429 sending in bug reports.
1430 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1431 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1432 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1433 display a warning if the two are different.
1434 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1435 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1436 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1444 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1445 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1447 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1448 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1449 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1450 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1451 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1452 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1455 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1456 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1459 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1460 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1462 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1465 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1468 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

1473 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1475 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1476 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1478 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1480 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1481 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1482 to support printing of structures.
1483 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1484 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1485 commented out printing code.
1486 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1487 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".

1496 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1497 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1498 during call to scm-style-repl.
1500 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1502 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1503 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1504 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1505 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1506 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1508 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1510 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1511 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1514 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1516 * regex.scm: New file.
1517 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1518 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1523 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1524 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1525 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1527 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1529 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1532 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1534 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1535 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1536 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1538 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1540 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1541 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1544 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1546 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1550 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1552 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1554 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1555 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1558 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1560 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1561 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1562 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1564 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1566 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1567 the Scheme code like code yet.
1568 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1570 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1572 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1573 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1574 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1576 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1578 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1580 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1583 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1585 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1587 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1589 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1591 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1592 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1593 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1595 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1597 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1598 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1599 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1601 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1603 * configure.in, configure: Removed.

1618 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1620 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1622 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1623 instead of in libguile.
1624 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1625 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1627 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1629 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1631 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1632 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1634 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1636 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1637 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1639 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1641 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1642 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1643 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1644 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1646 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1648 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1649 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1651 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1653 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1655 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1657 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1658 keywords and symbols.
1660 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1662 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1664 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1665 Don't define read-sharp.
1667 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1668 (read-sharp): removed.
1669 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1670 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1672 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1674 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1676 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1677 primitive procedure.)
1679 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1680 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1682 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1684 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1686 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1688 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1690 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1692 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1694 * (exit): alias for quit.
1696 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1698 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1699 return the quit args.
1700 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1701 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1702 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1704 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1706 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1708 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1710 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1711 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1713 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1714 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1716 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1717 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1720 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1722 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1724 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1725 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1726 Change hooks to use these functions.
1728 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1729 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1730 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1732 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1733 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1734 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1735 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1736 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1737 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1738 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1741 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1742 and exit-frame exceptions.
1744 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1745 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1746 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1747 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1748 result; otherwise display "> ".
1749 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1751 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1752 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1753 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1754 repository version runnable.
1756 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1758 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1759 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1760 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1761 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1762 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1763 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1765 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1767 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1768 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1770 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1772 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1773 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1775 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1777 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1779 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1781 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1784 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1786 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1787 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1789 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1791 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1794 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1796 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1797 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1799 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1801 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1803 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1804 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1805 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1806 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1807 dynamic linking of modules.
1808 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1809 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1811 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1813 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
1815 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1817 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
1820 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
1821 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
1824 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1826 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
1827 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
1828 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
1830 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1832 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
1833 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
1836 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1838 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
1839 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
1840 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
1842 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1844 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
1845 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
1846 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
1847 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
1849 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
1850 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
1851 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
1852 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
1853 (such as the-scm-module).
1855 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1857 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
1860 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
1862 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
1863 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
1864 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
1866 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1868 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
1869 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
1870 function, use it accordingly.
1872 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1874 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
1875 function of no arguments.
1876 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
1877 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
1878 set-current-module): Uses changed.
1879 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
1880 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
1881 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
1882 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
1883 *top-level-eval-closure*.
1885 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1887 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
1888 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
1890 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1892 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1893 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
1894 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
1895 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
1896 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
1898 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
1901 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
1902 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
1903 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
1904 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
1906 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
1908 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
1910 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
1911 If the user wants to see this, he can do
1912 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
1914 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
1917 Added `before-read-hook'.
1919 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
1921 (provide): New function.
1923 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
1926 (backtrace): New function.
1928 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
1929 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
1930 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
1931 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
1932 is found in operator position in a frame.
1934 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
1937 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
1938 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
1939 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
1941 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
1943 (library-vicinity): Updated.
1945 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
1947 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
1949 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1951 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
1953 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
1954 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
1956 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
1957 so they'll get distributed.
1959 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
1960 should see as little clutter as possible.
1961 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
1962 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
1963 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
1965 * r4rs.scm: New file.
1966 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
1967 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
1968 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
1969 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
1970 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
1971 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
1972 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
1973 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
1974 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
1976 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
1977 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
1979 * test.scm: New file.
1981 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
1982 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
1983 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
1985 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
1986 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
1988 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
1990 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
1991 call %load-announce.
1993 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1995 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
1996 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
1997 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
1999 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2001 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2003 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2004 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2005 SCSH (which this isn't).
2007 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2009 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2011 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2013 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2014 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2015 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2017 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2018 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2019 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2020 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2023 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2025 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2027 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2029 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2030 error-catching-loop.
2031 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2032 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2033 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2035 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2036 error-catching-loop.
2038 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2040 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2041 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2042 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2043 should be '(), not #f.
2045 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2046 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2048 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2050 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2051 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2054 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2056 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2057 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2058 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2059 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2061 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2063 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2065 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2067 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2069 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2070 throw-handler-default.
2071 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2073 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2075 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2076 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2078 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2080 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2081 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2082 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2083 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2085 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2087 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2088 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2089 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2090 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2092 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2093 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2094 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2095 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2098 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2100 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2102 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2105 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2108 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2110 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2112 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2113 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2115 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2117 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2119 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2121 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2123 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2124 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2125 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2126 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2127 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2129 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2130 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2131 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2132 they seem redundant.
2133 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2134 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2135 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2136 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2137 directly files starting with "/").
2138 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2139 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2141 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2143 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2145 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2146 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2147 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2148 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2149 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2150 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2151 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2152 robust to just do it in the C code.
2154 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2156 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2157 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2158 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2159 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2160 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2162 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2164 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2165 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2166 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2168 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2170 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2171 system-error, not every kind of error.
2172 (scm-error): new procedure.
2174 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2176 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2178 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2180 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2181 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2182 of args are supplied.
2183 (%%system-errors): removed.
2184 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2185 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2186 %%handle-system-error.
2187 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2188 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2189 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2190 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2192 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2194 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2195 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2196 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2197 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2199 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2201 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2202 the empty list if they are #f.
2203 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2205 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2207 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2209 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2210 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2211 aborting, just the key and subr.
2212 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2213 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2214 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2216 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2218 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2219 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2220 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2221 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2222 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2224 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2226 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2227 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2228 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2229 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2231 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2233 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2234 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2235 initialize %load-path.
2237 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2238 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2240 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2242 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2243 Add the directory named after the version number.
2244 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2245 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2246 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2247 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2248 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2249 (install): Create the above directories.
2250 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2251 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2253 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2255 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2256 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2257 in the Makefile directly.
2258 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2260 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2262 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2263 here, where people expect to find them.
2265 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2267 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2268 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2270 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2272 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2274 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2275 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2277 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2279 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2280 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2282 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2283 weak-key-hash-table.

2288 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2289 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2290 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2291 (%open-file): removed.
2292 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2293 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2295 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2297 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2298 (manifest): Deleted.
2299 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2300 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2302 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2304 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2305 now that they throw errors directly.
2306 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2307 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2309 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2311 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
