   3         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
   4         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
   5
   6 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
   7
   8         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
   9         any more.
  10
  11 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  12
  13         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
  14         the-root-module.
  15
  16 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  17
  18         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
  19
  20 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  21
  22         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
  23         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
  24         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
  25         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
  26         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
  27         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
  28         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
  29         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
  30         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
  31         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
  32         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
  33         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
  34         make-shared-substring.
  35
  36 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
  39         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
  40         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
  41         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
  42         scm-style-repl.
  43
  44 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  45
  46         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
  47         and open-output-pipe.
  48
  49 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  50
  51         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
  52         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
  53         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
  54         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
  55         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
  56         Pirotte for the bug report).
  57         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
  58         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
  59
  60 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  61
  62         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
  63         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
  64
  65 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

  68
  69 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
  70
  71         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
  72         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
  73         patch.
  74
  75 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  76
  77         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
  78         Jacques A. Vidrine.
  79
  80 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  81
  82         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
  83         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
  84         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
  85
  86         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
  87         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
  88         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
  89         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
  90         actual documentation entries themselves.
  91
  92 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

 103         Convert first argument to a string.
 104
 105         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 106         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 107         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 108         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 109
 110         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 111
 112         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
 113

 118 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 119
 120         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 121         `symbol-append'.
 122         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 123         args.
 124         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 125         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 126         even worked...  /mdj.
 127         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 128         `symbol->string'.
 129         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 130         semantics.
 131
 132 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 133
 134         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 135         form set!.

 138
 139         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to

 157         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 158         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 159         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 160         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 161         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 162
 163         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 164
 165 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 166
 167         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 168         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 169
 170         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 171         syntactic bindings.
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 174         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 175         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 176         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 177
 178         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.

 181         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 182
 183         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 184
 185         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 186         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 187
 188 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 189
 190         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 191         definition of module-type.
 192
 193         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 194
 195         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 196
 197         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 198         lines.
 199         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 200         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 201
 202 >>>>>>> 1.341
 203 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 206
 207 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 208
 209         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 210         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 211         Mikael for the suggestion.
 212
 213 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 214
 215         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 216         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 217
 218 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 219
 220         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 221         for export args.
 222
 223 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 224
 225         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 226
 227 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 228
 229         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 230         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 231         for the hint.
 232
 233         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 234         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 235         tail recursive yet.
 236
 237 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 238
 239         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 240         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 241
 242         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 243         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 244         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 245         See NEWS.
 246         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

 254
 255 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 256
 257         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).

 260 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 261
 262         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 263         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 264
 265 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 266
 267         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 268

 272
 273 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 274
 275         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 276         '() instead of #f.
 277         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 278         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 279         `the-root-module'.
 280         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 281
 282         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 283         documentation.scm.

 287         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 288         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 289         (help): Rewritten.
 290
 291         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 292
 293         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 294
 295 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 296
 297         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 298         (write-all): Removed.
 299         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 300         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 301
 302 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 303
 304         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 305         `proc-documentation'
 306
 307         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 308         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 309         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 310         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 311         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 312         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 313         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 314         getter...)
 315
 316 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 317
 318         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

 322         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
 323         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
 324         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
 325         closure.
 326
 327 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 328
 329         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
 330         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
 331         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
 332         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
 333         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
 334         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
 335         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
 336
 337 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 338
 339         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
 340         accept complex numbers as parameter.
 341
 342 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 343
 344         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
 345         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
 346
 347 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 348
 349         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
 350         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
 351         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
 352         instead of remove-if when iterating.
 353         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
 354         delete-if! when iterating.
 355
 356 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 357
 358         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
 359
 360 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 361
 362         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
 363
 364 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 365
 366         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
 367         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
 368         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
 369         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
 370
 371 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 372
 373         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
 374         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
 375
 376 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 377
 378         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
 379         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
 380         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
 381         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
 382
 383 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 384
 385         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
 386         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
 387
 388 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 389
 390         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
 391         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
 392
 393 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 394
 395         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
 396         Dirk Hermann!
 397
 398 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 399
 400         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
 401         source of the numerous very short changes.
 402
 403 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 404
 405         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
 406         public.
 407
 408         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
 409         info pages.
 410
 411 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 412
 413         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
 414         from slib docs.
 415
 416 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 417
 418         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
 419         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
 420
 421 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 422
 423         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
 424         to string-append.
 425
 426 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 427
 428         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
 429         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
 430         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
 431
 432 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 433
 434         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
 435         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
 436         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
 437         Narazaki for this change.
 438
 439 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 440
 441         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 442         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 443         %S.
 444
 445         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
 446         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
 447
 448 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 449
 450         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
 451         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
 452
 453 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 454
 455         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
 456         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
 457         use define-public to export from the module.
 458
 459 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 460
 461         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 462         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 463         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
 464
 465 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 466
 467         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
 468
 469 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
 470
 471         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
 472         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
 473
 474 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 475
 476         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
 477
 478         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
 479
 480         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
 481
 482 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 483
 484         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
 485         long_long uniform vectors.
 486
 487 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 488
 489         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
 490         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
 491
 492 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 493
 494         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
 495         script to create generated files like this one.
 496
 497 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
 498
 499         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
 500         available before using getpw and getuid.
 501         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
 502         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
 503         check for stat.
 504         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
 505         check for .guile, instead of stat.
 506         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
 507         available.
 508         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
 509         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
 510         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
 511
 512         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
 513         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
 514
 515         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
 516
 517 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 518
 519         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
 520         than 'exit-debugger.
 521
 522         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
 523         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
 524
 525         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
 526
 527 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 528
 529         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
 530         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
 531         ("position"): New command.

 533         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
 534         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

 537
 538 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 539
 540         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
 541         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
 542         Badros.)
 543
 544 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 545
 546         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
 547         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
 548
 549 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 550
 551         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
 552
 553         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

 560         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
 561         expression.
 562         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
 563         Handle errors.
 564
 565 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 566
 567         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
 568         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
 569
 570         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
 571
 572 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 573
 574         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
 575         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
 576         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
 577         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
 578
 579         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
 580         argument.
 581
 582         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
 583         both forward and backward views of the stack
 584         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
 585         Use selector `frame-number';
 586         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
 587         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
 588         Use (ice-9 debug).
 589         Use readline conditionally.
 590
 591 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 592
 593         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
 594         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
 595         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
 596
 597         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
 598         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
 599         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
 600
 601 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 602
 603         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
 604
 605         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
 606
 607         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
 608
 609         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 610
 611 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 612
 613         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
 614         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
 615         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
 616         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
 617         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
 618         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
 619         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
 620         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
 621         libguile-config-stamp.
 622         * version.scm.in: Delete.
 623         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
 624         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
 625         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
 626         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
 627
 628 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 629
 630         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
 631         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
 632         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
 633
 634         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
 635         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
 636         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
 637         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
 638         readline.
 639
 640         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
 641
 642 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
 643
 644         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
 645
 646 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 647
 648         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
 649         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
 650
 651 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
 652
 653         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
 654         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
 655         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
 656         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
 657         objects starting with '#/'.
 658
 659 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 660
 661         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
 662         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
 663         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
 664         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
 665         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
 666         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
 667         `observer-id'.
 668         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
 669         module-modified): New procedures.
 670         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
 671         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
 672
 673 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 674
 675         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
 676         defines.
 677
 678 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 679
 680         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
 681         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
 682         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 683
 684         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
 685         position.
 686
 687 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 688
 689         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
 690         at multiple calls to read.
 691         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
 692         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
 693         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
 694         continued-lines prompt.
 695
 696         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
 697         reading expressions.
 698
 699 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 700
 701         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
 702         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 703
 704 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 705
 706         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
 707         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
 708         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
 709
 710         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 711
 712         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
 713         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
 714
 715         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
 716         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
 717         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
 718         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
 719         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
 720         instead of a port.
 721
 722 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 723
 724         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
 725         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 726
 727         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
 728
 729         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
 730         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
 731         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
 732         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
 733
 734         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
 735
 736         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 737
 738         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
 739         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
 740         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
 741         an alist.
 742
 743         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 744
 745         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
 746         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
 747         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
 748         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
 749         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
 750         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 751         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
 752         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
 753         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
 754         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
 755         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.

 758
 759         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
 760         peeked from the stream.
 761         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
 762         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
 763         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
 764
 765         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 766
 767         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
 768         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
 769
 770         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 771
 772         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
 773         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
 774         exiting repl with single control-D.
 775
 776         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
 777
 778         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
 779         error catching loop after quit received.
 780         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
 781
 782         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
 783         primitive exit if non-interactive.
 784         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
 785
 786         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
 787         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
 788         boot-9.scm.
 789         * popen.scm: new file.
 790
 791 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 792
 793        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
 794        (reverse-iota):  removed.
 795
 796 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
 797
 798         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
 799         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
 800
 801 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 802
 803         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
 804         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
 805         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
 806         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 807         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
 808
 809 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 810
 811         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
 812
 813         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
 814         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 815
 816         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
 817         Guile's module system.
 818
 819         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
 820         changes:
 821         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
 822         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
 823         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
 824         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
 825         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
 826         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
 827         modern CL behavior.
 828         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
 829         '() when the condition is false.
 830
 831 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 832
 833         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 834
 835 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 836
 837         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
 838
 839 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 840
 841         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
 842         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
 843         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
 844
 845 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 846
 847         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
 848         argument order for hash-fold.
 849
 850 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 851
 852         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
 853         resolve-module.
 854         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
 855         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
 856
 857         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
 858         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
 859         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
 860         has been added to the load path).
 861
 862         Use try-load-module.
 863
 864 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 865
 866         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
 867         module between system and user state.
 868
 869 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 870
 871         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
 872
 873         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
 874         definition.
 875
 876 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 877
 878         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
 879         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
 880         system can create a wrapper class for it.
 881
 882 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 883
 884         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
 885         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
 886         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
 887         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
 888         stack frame encountered.
 889
 890         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
 891         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
 892         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
 893         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
 894         list).]
 895
 896         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
 897         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
 898         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
 899         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
 900         please tell me!]
 901
 902         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
 903         define-module switches:
 904
 905         (define-module (foo)
 906           :no-backtrace)
 907
 908         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
 909         modules.
 910
 911         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
 912         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
 913         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
 914         module it is a system frame.
 915
 916         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
 917         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
 918         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
 919         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
 920         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
 921
 922         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
 923         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
 924         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
 925         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
 926         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
 927         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
 928
 929         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
 930         status of a module.;
 931         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
 932         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
 933
 934         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
 935         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
 936         closure to the module.
 937

 947
 948 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 949
 950         Fix from Russ McManus:
 951         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
 952         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
 953         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
 954         either an optional or required value.
 955
 956 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
 957
 958         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
 959
 960         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
 961         of the '() key, not `rest'.
 962
 963         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
 964         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
 965         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
 966         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 967
 968 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
 969
 970         * optargs.scm: New file.
 971         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
 972         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
 973
 974 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 975
 976         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
 977         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
 978         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 979
 980 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 981
 982         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
 983         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
 984         for isn't loaded.
 985
 986 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
 987
 988         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
 989
 990 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 991
 992         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
 993         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
 994         applied to the module itself.
 995
 996 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
 997
 998         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
 999
1000         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1001         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1002
1003 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1004
1005         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1010
1011 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1012
1013         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1014         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1015
1016 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1017
1018         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1019         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1020         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1021         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1022         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1023         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1024         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1025
1026 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1027
1028         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1029         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1030
1031 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1032
1033         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1034         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1035         static libraries.
1036
1037 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1038
1039         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1040
1041 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1042
1043         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1044
1045 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1046
1047         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1048         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1049         adapt to the new hooks.
1050
1051 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1052
1053         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1054         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1055         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1056         code.
1057         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1058         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1059
1060         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1061         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1062         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1063         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1064         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1065         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1066         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1067         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1068         first to register linked modules.
1069
1070         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1071         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1072         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1073
1074         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1075         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1076         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1077         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1078
1079         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1080         to use from C:
1081         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1082         libguile/feature.c.
1083
1084         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1085         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1086         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1087
1088 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1089
1090         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1091         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1092         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1093
1094 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1095
1096         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1097         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1098         result of the last form.
1099
1100 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1101
1102         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1103         syncase.scm.
1104
1105         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1106
1107         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1108         readline-set!: New options interface.
1109
1110         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1111
1112 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1113
1114         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1115         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1116
1117 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1118
1119         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1120         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1121
1122 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1123
1124         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1125         interactive session.
1126         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1127
1128         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1129         history at exit (add to exit-hook).

1132
1133         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1134
1135 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1136
1137         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1138         read line was empty.
1139
1140 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1143         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1144
1145         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1146
1147         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1148         problem.  Duh.
1149         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1150         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1151         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1154         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1155         into...
1156         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1157         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1158         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1159
1160         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1161         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1162         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1163         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1164         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1165         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1166         psyntax.ss.
1167         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1168
1169         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1170         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1171
1172 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1173
1174         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1175         and short vectors #h(...).
1176
1177 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1178
1179         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1180         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1181         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1182
1183 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1184
1185         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1186         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1187         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1188
1189 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1190
1191         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1192         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1193
1194         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1195         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1196         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1197         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1198
1199 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1200
1201         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1202         trace flag.
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1205         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1206         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1207         context with traps enabled.
1208
1209 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1210
1211         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1212         module.
1213         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1214
1215 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1216
1217         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1218         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1219         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1220         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1221         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1222
1223 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1224
1225         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1226         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1227
1228 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1229
1230         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1231
1232 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1233
1234         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1235
1236 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1237
1238         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1239
1240 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1241
1242         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1243         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1244
1245 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1246
1247         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1248         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1249         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1250         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1251         Archibald.)
1252
1253         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1254         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1255         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1256
1257 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1258
1259         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1260         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1261         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1262         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1263         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1264         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1265         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1266
1267 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1268
1269         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1270
1271 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1272
1273         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1274         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1275         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1276         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1277         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1278         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1279
1280 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1281
1282         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1283         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1284         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1285         Steven G. Johnson.)
1286
1287 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1288
1289         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1290
1291 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1292
1293         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1294
1295 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1296
1297         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1298         be completed.
1299
1300 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1301
1302         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1303
1304 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1307         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1308
1309 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1310
1311         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1312         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1313         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1314         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1315         transformer.
1316         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1317         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1318
1319 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1320
1321         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1322
1323 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1324
1325         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1326         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1327         completion.
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1330         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1331
1332         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1333         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1334         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1335
1336         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1337
1338 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1339
1340         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1341
1342         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1343         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1344
1345 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1346
1347         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1348
1349 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1350
1351         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
1352         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1353
1354         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1355
1356         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
1357         obsolete.
1358
1359 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1360
1361         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1362         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1363
1364 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1365
1366         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1367
1368 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1369
1370         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
1371         Stachowiak.)
1372
1373 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1374
1375         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1376         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
1377         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1378         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1379         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1380         threads.
1381
1382 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1383
1384         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1385         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1386         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1387
1388 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1389
1390         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1391
1392         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1393         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1394
1395 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1396
1397         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1398         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1399         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1400         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1401         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
1402         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1403         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1404         to go here.
1405
1406 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1409         is now a fluid.
1410
1411 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
1412
1413         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1414         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1415         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
1416         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
1417         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1418         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1419
1420 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1421
1422         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1423         usefully so they will work from a script.
1424
1425 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1426
1427         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1428         neighborhood of the record code.
1429
1430 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1431
1432         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
1433         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1434         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1435         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1436
1437 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1438
1439         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1440         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1441         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1442
1443 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1444
1445         Add support for readline function.
1446         * readline.scm: New module.
1447         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1448         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1449         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1450         anything.
1451         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1452         repl-reader to use them.
1453         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1454
1455         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1456
1457 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1458
1459         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1460         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1461
1462 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1463
1464         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1465         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1466         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1467
1468 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1469
1470         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
1471         #f, abort terminates the process.
1472         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1473         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
1474

1489         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1490         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1491         user field).
1492         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by

1500
1501         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1502         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1503         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1504         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1505         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1506         boot-9.scm.
1507         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1508         distribution and installation.
1509         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1514
1515 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1516
1517         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1518         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
1519         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1520
1521         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1522         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1523         symbol.
1524
1525 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1534         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1535         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1536         field a separate argument.
1537
1538         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1539

1543
1544         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty

1553
1554         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1555         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1556         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1557         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1558         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
1559         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1560         registered.
1561         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1562         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1563         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1564         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1565         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1566         link a .so-file.

1578
1579         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1580
1581         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1582         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1583         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
1584         expansion inside the slib module.
1585
1586         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

1594         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1595
1596         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1597         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1598         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1599         source.
1600         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1601         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1602         been loaded.
1603
1604 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

1614         mutator for module-associated transformer.

1617         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1618         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
1619         module.
1620         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
1621
1622 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1623
1624         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1625
1626         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1627         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1628         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1629         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1630         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1631
1632         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1633         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1634         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1635         syncase macros.
1636         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1637         the syncase interface.

1640
1641         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1642         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1643         workings of the current module system).
1644
1645 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1646
1647         * psyntax.ss: Updated.

1658
1659         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1660         according to the following priorities:
1661         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1662         2. bindings from the-scm-module
1663         3. tcl bindings
1664         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1665         disabling the scheme interpreter.
1666         (new-interpreter): New function.
1667
1668         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1669         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1670         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

1687
1688         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1689         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
1690         source!
1691

1702
1703         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1704         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1705         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1706         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1707         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1708         result protocol;

1723
1724         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
1725         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
1726         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
1727
1728         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.

1745
1746         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1747         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1748         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1749
1750         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1751         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1752         the top.
1753
1754         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in

1773
1774         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1775         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
1776         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

1812         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
1813         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
1814         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1815         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1816
1817         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1818         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1819         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1820         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

1822 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1823
1824         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1825         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
1826         sending in bug reports.
1827         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1828         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1829         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1830         display a warning if the two are different.
1831         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
1832         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
1833         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1835 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1836
1837         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
1838
1839 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1840
1841         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1842         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1843
1844         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1845         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1846         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1847         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1848         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1849         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1850         that's okay.
1851
1852         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
1853         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1854         regexp interface.
1855
1856         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1857         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
1858
1859         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1860         function names.
1861
1862         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1863         fixes.
1864
1865 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1866
1867         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1868         ../configure.in.
1869
1870 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1871
1872         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1873         vtable and not the one of the struct.
1874
1875 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1876
1877         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1878         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1879         to support printing of structures.
1880         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1881         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
1882         commented out printing code.
1883         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1884         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1885
1886 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1887
1888         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1889
1890 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1891
1892         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1893         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1894         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1895         during call to scm-style-repl.
1896
1897 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1898
1899         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1900         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1901         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1902         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
1903         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
1904
1905 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1906
1907         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1908         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1909         (ice-9 regex).
1910
1911 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1912
1913         * regex.scm: New file.
1914         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1915         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1916
1917 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1918
1919         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1920         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1921         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

1927         in 1997.
1928
1929 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1930
1931         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1932         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
1933         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1934
1935 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1938         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1939         here.
1940
1941 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1942
1943         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

1949 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1952         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1953         fixes this too.
1954
1955 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1956
1957         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1958         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1959         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
1960
1961 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1962
1963         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1964         the Scheme code like code yet.
1965         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1966
1967 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1968
1969         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1970         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
1971         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1972
1973 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1974
1975         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1976         use-modules macro
1977         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1978         can't be found.
1979
1980 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1981
1982         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1983
1984 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1985
1986         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1987
1988         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1989         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1990         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1991
1992 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1993

1995         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1996         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1997
1998         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1999         no plugins.
2000         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2001         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2004
2005         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New

2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

2012 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2013
2014         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2015         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2016
2017 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2018
2019         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2020         instead of in libguile.
2021         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2022         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2023
2024 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2025
2026         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2027         procedures.
2028         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2029         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2030
2031 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2032
2033         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2034         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2035
2036 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2037
2038         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2039         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2040         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2041         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2042
2043 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2044
2045         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2046         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2047
2048 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2049
2050         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2051
2052 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2053
2054         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2055         keywords and symbols.
2056
2057 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2058
2059         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2060
2061         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2062         Don't define read-sharp.
2063
2064         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2065         (read-sharp): removed.
2066         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2067         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2068
2069 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2070
2071         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2072
2073         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2074         primitive procedure.)
2075
2076         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2077         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2078

2080
2081         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2082
2083 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2084
2085         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2086
2087 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2088
2089         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2090         read gets EOF.
2091         * (exit): alias for quit.
2092
2093 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2094
2095         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2096         return the quit args.
2097         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2098         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2099         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2100
2101         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2102
2103 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2104
2105         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2106
2107         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2108         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2109
2110         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2111         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2112
2113         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2114         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2115         of handlers.
2116
2117 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2118
2119         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2120
2121         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2122         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2123         Change hooks to use these functions.
2124
2125         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2126         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2127         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2128         the source! :-)
2129         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2130         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2131         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2132         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2133         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2134         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2135         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2136         traced.
2137
2138         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2139         and exit-frame exceptions.
2140
2141         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2142         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2143         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2144         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2145         result; otherwise display "> ".
2146         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2147
2148         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2149         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2150         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2151         repository version runnable.
2152
2153 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2154
2155         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2156         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2157         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2158         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2159         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2160         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2161
2162 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2163
2164         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2165         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2166         and eval.
2167         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2168         "defined?".
2169         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2170         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2171
2172 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2173
2174         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2175
2176 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2177
2178         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2179         %read-sharp layer.
2180
2181 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2182
2183         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2184         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2185
2186 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2187
2188         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2189         backtrace.c.)
2190
2191 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2192
2193         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2194         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2195
2196 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2197
2198         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2199
2200         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2201         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2202         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2203         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2204         dynamic linking of modules.
2205         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2206         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2207
2208 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2209
2210         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2211
2212 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2213
2214         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2215         that's what it is.
2216
2217         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2218         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2219         was false.
2220
2221 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2222
2223         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2224         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2225         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2226
2227 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2228
2229         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2230         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2231         yet.
2232
2233 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2234
2235         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2236         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2237         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2238
2239 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2240
2241         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2242         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2243         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2244         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2245
2246         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2247         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2248         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2249         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2250         (such as the-scm-module).
2251
2252 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2253
2254         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2255         %search-load-path.
2256
2257 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2258
2259         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2260         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2261         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2262
2263 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2264
2265         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2266         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2267         function, use it accordingly.
2268
2269 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2270
2271         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2272         function of no arguments.
2273         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2274         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2275         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2276         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2277         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2278         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2279         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2280         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2281
2282 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2283
2284         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2285         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2286
2287 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2288
2289         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2290         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2291         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2292         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2293         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2294
2295         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2296         `*features*'.
2297
2298         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2299         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2300         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2301         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2302
2303         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2304
2305         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2306
2307         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2308         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2309         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2310
2311         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2312         error.
2313
2314         Added `before-read-hook'.
2315
2316         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2317
2318         (provide): New function.
2319
2320         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2321         in backtraces.
2322
2323         (backtrace): New function.
2324
2325         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2326         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2327         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
2328         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2329         is found in operator position in a frame.
2330
2331         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2332         by default.
2333
2334         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2335         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2336         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2337
2338         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
2339
2340         (library-vicinity): Updated.
2341
2342         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2343
2344         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2345
2346 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2347
2348         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2351         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
2352
2353         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2354         so they'll get distributed.
2355
2356         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
2357         should see as little clutter as possible.
2358         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2359         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2360         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2361
2362         * r4rs.scm: New file.
2363         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2364         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2365         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2366         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2367         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2368         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2369         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2370         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2371         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2372         that are not.
2373         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2374         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2375
2376         * test.scm: New file.
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2379         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
2380         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2381
2382         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2383         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2386         work now.
2387         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
2388         call %load-announce.
2389
2390 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2391
2392         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2393         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2394         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2395         components.
2396         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2397
2398 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2399
2400         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2401         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2402         SCSH (which this isn't).
2403
2404 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2405
2406         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2407
2408 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2411         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2412         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2413         these.
2414         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
2415         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
2416         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2417         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2418         save-stack.
2419
2420 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2421
2422         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2423
2424         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2425
2426         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2427         error-catching-loop.
2428         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2429         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2430         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2431
2432         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2433         error-catching-loop.
2434
2435 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2436
2437         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2438         (make-module): Rework for readability.
2439         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2440         should be '(), not #f.
2441
2442         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2443         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2444
2445 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2446
2447         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2448         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2449         error-signal.
2450
2451 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2452
2453         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2454         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2455         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2456         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2457
2458 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2459
2460         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2461
2462 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2463
2464         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2467         throw-handler-default.
2468         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2469         reported.
2470         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2471         acro.
2472         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2473         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2474
2475 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2476
2477         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2478         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2479         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2480         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2481
2482 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2483
2484         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2485         Append "." to the default %load-path.
2486         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2487         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2488         ...))
2489         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2490         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2491         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2492         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2493         file-is-directory?
2494
2495 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2498
2499         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2500         distribution.
2501
2502         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2503         `switch-repl'.
2504
2505         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.

2507 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2508
2509         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2510         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2511
2512 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2513
2514         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2515
2516         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2517
2518 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2519
2520         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
2521         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2522         Don't set up 'error as a key.
2523         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2524         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2525
2526         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2527         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2528         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2529         they seem redundant.
2530         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2531         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
2532         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2533         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
2534         directly files starting with "/").
2535         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2536         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2537
2538         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2539
2540 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2541
2542         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2543         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2544         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
2545         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2546         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2547         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2548         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
2549         robust to just do it in the C code.
2550
2551 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2552
2553         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
2554         %try-load itself was the primitive.
2555         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2556         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2557         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2558
2559 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2560
2561         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2562         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2563         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2564
2565 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2566
2567         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2568         system-error, not every kind of error.
2569         (scm-error): new procedure.
2570
2571 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2572
2573         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2574
2575 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2576
2577         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2578         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
2579         of args are supplied.
2580         (%%system-errors): removed.
2581         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2582         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2583         %%handle-system-error.
2584         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2585         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2586         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2587         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2588
2589 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2590
2591         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2592         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2593         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2594         %S (embed an argument using "write").
2595
2596 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2597
2598         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2599         the empty list if they are #f.
2600         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2601
2602 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2603
2604         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2605
2606         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2607         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2608         aborting, just the key and subr.
2609         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2610         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2611         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2612
2613 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2614
2615         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2616         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
2617         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2618         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2619         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2620
2621 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2622
2623         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2624         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2625         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2626         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2627
2628 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2629
2630         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2631         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2632         initialize %load-path.
2633
2634         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2635         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2636
2637 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2638
2639         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2640         Add the directory named after the version number.
2641         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2642         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2643         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2644         sitedatadir): New definitions.

2650 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2651
2652         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2653         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2654         in the Makefile directly.
2655         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2656         for these.
2657         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2658         aux_files.

2660         here, where people expect to find them.

2670
2671         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2672         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

2688         (%open-file): removed.
2689         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2690         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

2694         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2695         (manifest): Deleted.
2696         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

2698
2699 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2700
2701         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2702         now that they throw errors directly.
2703         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2704         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2705
