   2
   3         * session.scm (apropos): Use hash-for-each instead of
   4         array-for-each.
   5
   6 2003-02-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
   9         (since the size now adapts).
  10         (macro-table, xformer-table): Changed default size from 523 to 61.
  11         (make-module): Don't call make-hash-table with zero size.
  12
  13         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added weak-vector.scm.
  14
  15         * weak-vector.scm: New file.
  16
  17         * boot-9.scm (module-clear!): Use hash-clear!.
  18         (module-for-each): Use hash-for-each.
  19         (module-map): Use hash-map.
  20
  21 2003-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  22
  23         * boot-9.scm (make-hash-table): Turned primitive.
  24
  25 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  26
  27         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
  28         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
  29         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
  30
  31 2003-01-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  32
  33         * threads.scm (parallel, letpar): Rewritten.
  34
  35 2003-01-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  36
  37         * threads.scm (par-mapper, n-par-map, n-par-for-each): Use
  38         futures.
  39
  40 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  41
  42         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
  43
  44         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
  45         operator as a primitive procedure.
  46         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
  47
  48 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  49
  50         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Allow procedures implanted in
  51         source.  (Guile uses this internally.)
  52
  53 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  54
  55         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
  56         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
  57         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
  58         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
  59         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
  60         self-evaluating).
  61         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
  62         (external-macro): New syntax type.
  63
  64         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
  65
  66         * compile-psyntax.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure.
  67
  68         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
  69
  70         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
  71         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
  72         created in the correct module.
  73         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
  74         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
  75         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
  76         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
  77         created from within psyntax.pp).
  78         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
  79         transformation.
  80
  81 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
  82
  83         * occam-channel.scm (make-channel): Renamed from channel.
  84         (make-timer): New function.
  85
  86         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
  87
  88         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
  89
  90 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  91
  92         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
  93         module is defined.
  94         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
  95
  96 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
  97
  98         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
  99
 100 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 101
 102         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 103         joing-thread.
 104         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 105         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 106
 107 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 108
 109         * optargs.scm (improper-list-copy): New.
 110         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 111
 112 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 113
 114         * threads.scm (letpar): New macro.

 117
 118         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 119         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 122         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 123
 124         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
 125
 126 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

 128         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 129          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 130
 131         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 132         defmacros.

 135
 136         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally

 140
 141         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 142         following changes:
 143
 144         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 145
 146         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 147         %system-define.
 148
 149         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 150         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 151
 152 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 153
 154         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 155         has been removed from the core.
 156
 157 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 158
 159         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 160         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 161         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 162         'real' macro definitions.
 163
 164 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 165
 166         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 167         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 168
 169 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 170
 171         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 172         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 173
 174 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 175
 176         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 177         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 178
 179 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 180
 181         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 182         change below.
 183
 184         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 185         recording when module is loaded.
 186         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 187
 188 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 189
 190         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
 191         code.
 192
 193         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 194         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 195         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 196         readline).)
 197
 198 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 199
 200         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 201         it is not thread-safe.
 202
 203 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 204
 205         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 207
 208 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 209
 210         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 211         `guile-debugger' package ...
 212
 213         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 214         - see comment in file for more details.
 215         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the

 217         (debug-stack): New.
 218         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
 219
 220         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 221         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 222         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 223         breakpoint support ...
 224
 225         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.

 229         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
 230         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 231
 232         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 233         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 234         execution from a breakpoint.
 235
 236         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 237         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 238         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 239         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint
 240         support.

 246 2002-10-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 247
 248         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 249         should be unnecessary now.
 250
 251 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 252
 253         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 254         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 255         the-root-module.
 256
 257 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 258
 259         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 260         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 261         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 262         unmask-signals.
 263
 264 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 265
 266         * buffered-input.scm (make-buffered-input-port): Build an
 267         input-waiting thunk for just extended version of make-soft-port.
 268
 269 2002-10-04  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 270
 271         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 272         >= 0.
 273
 274 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 275
 276         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 277         limit the signal stack.

 290         that we can use define-syntax.
 291         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 292
 293 2002-09-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 297         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find
 298         variables instead of the current module.

 311         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,

 320
 321         * format.scm (format:out-inf-nan): New.
 322         (format:out-fixed, format:out-expon, format:out-general): Use it
 323         to print infs and nans.
 324

 326

 360
 361 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 362
 363         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 364         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 365         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 366
 367         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

 380
 381         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 382         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 383         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 384         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 385
 386 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 387
 388         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 389
 390         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 391         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
 392         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
 393
 394 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 395
 396         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 397         these in the core.
 398
 399 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 400
 401         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by

 403
 404         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 405         positions.
 406
 407 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 408
 409         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 410         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 411         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 412
 413         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 414           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 418           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
 419           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 420           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 421           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 422           exporting bindings.
 423
 424 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 425
 426         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
 427         :re-export-syntax
 428
 429 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 430
 431         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 432         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 433         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 434         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 435
 436 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 437
 438         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

 443 2001-09-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 444
 445         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
 446
 447 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
 448
 449         * expect.scm: Commentary fix; nfc.
 450
 451         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
 452
 453 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 454
 455         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
 456         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
 457
 458 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 459
 460         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
 461         the `arglist' procedure property.
 462         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
 463         present a more detailed argument list.
 464
 465         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 466
 467 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 468
 469         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
 470         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
 471         Skarda.
 472
 473 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).

 491         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
 492         functionality.
 493
 494         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
 495         needed to trick export.
 496
 497 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 498
 499         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

 501 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 502
 503         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
 504
 505         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
 506
 507 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 508
 509         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
 510         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
 511         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
 512
 513 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 514
 515         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
 516         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
 517
 518 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 519
 520         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

 532
 533 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 534
 535         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
 536
 537         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
 538         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
 539         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
 540
 541 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
 542
 543         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
 544         handle :use-syntax correctly.
 545
 546 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 547
 548         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
 549         compile-psyntax.scm.
 550
 551 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 552
 553         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
 554         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
 555         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
 556         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
 557         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
 558
 559 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 563         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
 564
 565 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 566
 567         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 568         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
 569
 570 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 571
 572         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
 573         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
 574         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
 575         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
 576
 577         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
 578         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
 579         since there aren't definitions for them.
 580
 581         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
 582         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
 583
 584 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 585
 586         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
 587         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
 588
 589 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 590
 591         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
 592         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
 593
 594 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 595
 596         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
 597         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
 598         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
 599
 600 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 601
 602         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
 603
 604         * tags.scm: Removed file.
 605
 606 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 607
 608         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
 609         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
 610
 611         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
 612         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
 613         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
 614         New.
 615
 616 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 617
 618         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
 619         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
 620
 621 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 622
 623         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
 624         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
 625
 626         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
 627         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
 628         evaluator trap options.)
 629
 630 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
 631
 632         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
 633
 634 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 635
 636         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
 637
 638 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 639
 640         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
 641
 642 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 643
 644         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
 645         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
 646
 647 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 648
 649         * match.scm:
 650         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
 651         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
 652         No longer require `pretty-print'.
 653
 654         (slib:error): Delete.
 655         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
 656
 657         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
 658
 659         * README: New file.
 660
 661         * common-list.scm:
 662         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
 663         Add Commentary.
 664         Update copyright.
 665
 666 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 667
 668         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
 669         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
 670         rdelim) module.  See below.
 671
 672 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 673
 674         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
 675         include-deprecated-features is true.
 676
 677 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 678
 679         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
 680         unknown objects.
 681
 682         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
 683         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
 684         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 685
 686         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
 687         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
 688         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
 689         Köppe!
 690
 691 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 692
 693         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 694         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 695         variable, not just a visible one.
 696         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 697         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 698         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 699         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 700         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 701         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 702         variables.
 703         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 704
 705         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 706         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 707
 708 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 709
 710         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 711         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 712
 713 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 714
 715         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 716
 717 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 718
 719         Added exception notice to all files.
 720
 721         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 722         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 723         importing bindings once in a while.
 724
 725 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 726
 727         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 728         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 729         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 730         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 731         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 732         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 733         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 734         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 735         message.
 736         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 737         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 738
 739 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 740
 741         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 742         fix command so that it works.
 743
 744         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 745         to access unbound variables.
 746
 747         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 748         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 749         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 750         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 751         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 752
 753 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 754
 755         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 756         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 757         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 758         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 759         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 760         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 761         argument for process-define-module.
 762         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 763         arguments for process-use-modules.
 764         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 765
 766 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 767
 768         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 769         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 770         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 771         module.
 772
 773         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 774         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 775         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 776
 777         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 778
 779 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 780
 781         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 782         to feature lists.

1174
1175         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
1176         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
1177         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
1178         frame is invoked.
1179
1180 2001-02-25  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1181
1182         * match.scm: New file, including Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher.
1183         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added match.scm.
1184
1185 2001-02-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1186
1187         * boot-9.scm (eval-when, eval-case): Renamed `eval-when' to

1189
1190 2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1191
1192         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to

1196         (eval-when): New macro.
1197         (define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to

1203         (define-module): Simply call `process-define-module' without any
1204         fuss (but only on top-level).
1205         (named-module-use!): New function.
1206         (top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level
1207         means instead.

1221
1222         Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
1223         operating systems.

1231         "and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.

1234 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1235
1236         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1237         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1238
1239         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1240         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1241
1242         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1243         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1244
1245 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1246
1247         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1248         in C for now.
1249         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1250         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1251
1252 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1253
1254         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1255         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1256         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1257         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1258         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1259         for now.
1260         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).

1262
1263 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1264
1265         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1266         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1267         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1268         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1269         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1270         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1271         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1272
1273 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1274
1275         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1276         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1277
1278 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1279
1280         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1281         any more.
1282
1283 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1284
1285         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1286         the-root-module.
1287

1291
1292 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1293
1294         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1295         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1296         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1297         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1298         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

1304         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1305         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1306         make-shared-substring.
1307
1308 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1309
1310         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1311         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1312         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1313         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1314         scm-style-repl.
1315
1316 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1319         and open-output-pipe.
1320
1321 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1322
1323         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1324         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1325         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1326         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1327         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1328         Pirotte for the bug report).
1329         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1330         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1331
1332 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1333

1342
1343         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1344         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1345         patch.
1346
1347 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1351
1352 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1353
1354         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1355         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1356         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1357
1358         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1359         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1360         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1361         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1362         actual documentation entries themselves.

1375         Convert first argument to a string.
1376
1377         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
1378         getter-and-setter-syntax,

1391
1392         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
1393         `symbol-append'.
1394         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1395         args.
1396         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1397         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1398         even worked...  /mdj.
1399         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1400         `symbol->string'.
1401         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
1402         semantics.

1429         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1430         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1431         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1432         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1433         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

1440         provided by libguile/modules.c.)

1446         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

1459
1460 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
1461

1508 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1509
1510         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',

1519         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
1520
1521 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1522
1523         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
1524         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
1525
1526 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1527
1528         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
1529         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
1530
1531 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1532
1533         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
1534         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
1535
1536 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1537
1538         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
1539
1540         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1541
1542         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
1543
1544 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1545
1546         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
1547         '() instead of #f.
1548         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
1549         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
1550         `the-root-module'.
1551         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
1552
1553         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
1554         documentation.scm.
1555
1556         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
1557         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
1558         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1559         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1560         (help): Rewritten.
1561
1562         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1563
1564         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1565
1566 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1567
1568         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1569         (write-all): Removed.
1570         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
1571         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
1572
1573 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
1574
1575         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1576         `proc-documentation'
1577
1578         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
1579         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1580         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1581         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1582         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1583         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1584         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1585         getter...)
1586
1587 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1588
1589         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1590
1591 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1592
1593         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1594         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1595         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1596         closure.
1597
1598 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1599
1600         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1601         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1602         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1603         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1604         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1605         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1606         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1607
1608 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1609
1610         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1611         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1612
1613 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1614
1615         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1616         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1617
1618 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1619
1620         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1621         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1622         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1623         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1624         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1625         delete-if! when iterating.
1626
1627 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1628
1629         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1630
1631 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1632
1633         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1634
1635 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1636
1637         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1638         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1639         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1640         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1641
1642 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1643
1644         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1645         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1646
1647 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1648
1649         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1650         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1651         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1652         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1653
1654 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1655
1656         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1657         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1658
1659 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1660
1661         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1662         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1663
1664 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1665
1666         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1667         Dirk Hermann!
1668
1669 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1670
1671         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1672         source of the numerous very short changes.
1673
1674 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1675
1676         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1677         public.
1678
1679         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1680         info pages.
1681
1682 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1683
1684         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1685         from slib docs.
1686
1687 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1688
1689         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1690         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1691
1692 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1693
1694         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1695         to string-append.
1696
1697 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1698
1699         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1700         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1701         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1702
1703 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1704
1705         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1706         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1707         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1708         Narazaki for this change.
1709
1710 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1711
1712         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1713         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1714         %S.
1715
1716         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1717         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1718
1719 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1722         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1723
1724 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1725
1726         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1727         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1728         use define-public to export from the module.
1729
1730 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1731
1732         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1733         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1734         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1735
1736 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1737
1738         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1739
1740 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1741
1742         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1743         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1744
1745 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1746
1747         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.

1752
1753 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1754
1755         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1756         long_long uniform vectors.
1757
1758 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1759
1760         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1761         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
1762
1763 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1764
1765         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
1766         script to create generated files like this one.
1767
1768 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1769
1770         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1771         available before using getpw and getuid.
1772         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1773         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1774         check for stat.
1775         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1776         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1777         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1778         available.
1779         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
1780         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1781         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1782
1783         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
1784         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1785
1786         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1787
1788 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1789
1790         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1791         than 'exit-debugger.
1792
1793         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1794         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.

1801         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1802         ("position"): New command.
1803         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1804         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1805         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected

1808
1809 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1810
1811         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1812         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
1813         Badros.)
1814
1815 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1816
1817         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1818         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1819
1820 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1821
1822         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1831         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1832         expression.
1833         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1834         Handle errors.
1835
1836 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1837
1838         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1839         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1840
1841         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1842
1843 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1844
1845         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1846         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1847         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1848         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1849
1850         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1851         argument.
1852
1853         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1854         both forward and backward views of the stack
1855         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1856         Use selector `frame-number';
1857         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1858         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1859         Use (ice-9 debug).
1860         Use readline conditionally.
1861
1862 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1863
1864         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1865         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1866         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1867
1868         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1869         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1870         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1871
1872 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1873
1874         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.

1880         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1881
1882 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1883
1884         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1885         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1886         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1887         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1888         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1889         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1890         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1891         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1892         libguile-config-stamp.
1893         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1894         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1895         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1896         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1897         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1898
1899 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1900
1901         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1902         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1903         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1904
1905         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1906         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1907         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1908         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1909         readline.
1910
1911         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1912
1913 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1914
1915         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1916
1917 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1918
1919         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1920         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1921
1922 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1923
1924         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1925         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1926         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1927         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1928         objects starting with '#/'.
1929
1930 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1931
1932         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1933         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1934         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1935         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1936         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1937         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1938         `observer-id'.
1939         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1940         module-modified): New procedures.
1941         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1942         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1943
1944 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1945
1946         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1947         defines.
1948
1949 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1950
1951         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1952         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1953         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1954
1955         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1956         position.
1957
1958 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1959
1960         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1961         at multiple calls to read.
1962         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1963         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1964         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1965         continued-lines prompt.
1966
1967         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1968         reading expressions.
1969
1970 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1971
1972         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1973         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1974
1975 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1976
1977         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1978         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1979         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1980
1981         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1982
1983         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1984         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1985
1986         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1987         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1988         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1989         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1990         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1991         instead of a port.
1992
1993 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1994
1995         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1996         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1997
1998         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1999
2000         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2001         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2002         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2003         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2004
2005         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2006
2007         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2008
2009         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2010         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2011         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2012         an alist.
2013
2014         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2015
2016         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2017         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2018         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2019         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2020         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2021         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2022         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2023         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2024         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2025         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2026         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2027
2028         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2029
2030         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2031         peeked from the stream.
2032         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2033         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2034         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2035
2036         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2037
2038         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2039         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2040
2041         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2042
2043         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2044         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2045         exiting repl with single control-D.
2046
2047         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2048
2049         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2050         error catching loop after quit received.
2051         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2052
2053         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2054         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2055         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2056
2057         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2058         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2059         boot-9.scm.
2060         * popen.scm: new file.
2061
2062 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2063
2064        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2065        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2066
2067 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2068
2069         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2070         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2071
2072 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2073
2074         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2075         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2076         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2077         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2078         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2079
2080 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2081
2082         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2083
2084         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2085         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2086
2087         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2088         Guile's module system.
2089
2090         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2091         changes:
2092         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2093         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2094         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2095         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2096         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2097         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2098         modern CL behavior.
2099         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2100         '() when the condition is false.
2101
2102 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2103
2104         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2105
2106 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2107
2108         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2109
2110 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2111
2112         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2113         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2114         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2115
2116 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2117
2118         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2119         argument order for hash-fold.
2120
2121 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2122
2123         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2124         resolve-module.
2125         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2126         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2127
2128         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2129         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2130         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2131         has been added to the load path).
2132
2133         Use try-load-module.
2134
2135 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2136
2137         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2138         module between system and user state.
2139
2140 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2141
2142         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2143
2144         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2145         definition.
2146
2147 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2148
2149         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2150         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2151         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2152
2153 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2154
2155         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2156         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2157         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2158         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2159         stack frame encountered.
2160
2161         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2162         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2163         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2164         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2165         list).]
2166
2167         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2168         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2169         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2170         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2171         please tell me!]
2172
2173         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2174         define-module switches:
2175
2176         (define-module (foo)
2177           :no-backtrace)
2178
2179         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2180         modules.
2181
2182         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2183         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2184         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2185         module it is a system frame.
2186
2187         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2188         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2189         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2190         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2191         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2192
2193         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2194         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2195         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2196         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2197         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2198         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2199
2200         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2201         status of a module.;
2202         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2203         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2204
2205         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2206         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2207         closure to the module.
2208
2209         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2210
2211 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2212
2213         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2214
2215 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2216
2217         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
2218
2219 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2220
2221         Fix from Russ McManus:
2222         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2223         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2224         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2225         either an optional or required value.
2226
2227 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2228
2229         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2230
2231         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2232         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2233
2234         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2235         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2236         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2237         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2238
2239 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2240
2241         * optargs.scm: New file.
2242         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2243         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2244
2245 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2246
2247         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2248         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2249         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2250
2251 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2252
2253         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2254         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2255         for isn't loaded.
2256
2257 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2258
2259         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2260
2261 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2264         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2265         applied to the module itself.
2266
2267 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2268
2269         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2270
2271         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2272         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2273
2274 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2275
2276         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
2277
2278 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2279
2280         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2281
2282 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2283
2284         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2285         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2286
2287 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2288
2289         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2290         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2291         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2292         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2293         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2294         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2295         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2296
2297 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2298
2299         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2300         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2301
2302 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2305         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2306         static libraries.
2307
2308 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2309
2310         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2311
2312 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2313
2314         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2315
2316 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2317
2318         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2319         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2320         adapt to the new hooks.
2321
2322 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2323
2324         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2325         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2326         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2327         code.
2328         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2329         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2330
2331         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2332         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2333         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2334         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2335         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2336         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2337         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2338         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2339         first to register linked modules.
2340
2341         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2342         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2343         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2344
2345         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2346         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2347         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2348         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2351         to use from C:
2352         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2353         libguile/feature.c.
2354
2355         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2356         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2357         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2358
2359 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2360
2361         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2362         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2363         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2364
2365 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2366
2367         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2368         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2369         result of the last form.
2370
2371 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2372
2373         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2374         syncase.scm.
2375
2376         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2377
2378         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2379         readline-set!: New options interface.
2380
2381         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2382
2383 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2384
2385         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2386         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2387
2388 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2389
2390         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2391         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2392
2393 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2394
2395         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2396         interactive session.
2397         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2398
2399         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2400         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2401
2402 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2403
2404         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2405
2406 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2407
2408         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2409         read line was empty.
2410
2411 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2412
2413         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2414         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2415
2416         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2417
2418         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2419         problem.  Duh.
2420         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2421         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2422         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2423
2424         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2425         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2426         into...
2427         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2428         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2429         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2430
2431         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2432         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2433         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2434         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2435         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2436         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2437         psyntax.ss.
2438         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2439
2440         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2441         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2442
2443 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2444
2445         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2446         and short vectors #h(...).
2447
2448 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2449
2450         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2451         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2452         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2453
2454 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2455
2456         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2457         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
2458         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2459
2460 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2461
2462         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2463         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2464
2465         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2466         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
2467         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
2468         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2469
2470 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2471
2472         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2473         trace flag.
2474
2475         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2476         order to allow the empty list as arg.
2477         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2478         context with traps enabled.
2479
2480 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2481
2482         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2483         module.
2484         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2485
2486 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2487
2488         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2489         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2490         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
2491         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2492         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2493
2494 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2495
2496         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2497         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2498
2499 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2500
2501         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2502
2503 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2504
2505         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2506
2507 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2508
2509         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2510
2511 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2512
2513         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2514         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2515
2516 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2517
2518         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2519         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2520         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2521         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
2522         Archibald.)
2523
2524         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2525         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2526         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2527
2528 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2531         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2532         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2533         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
2534         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2535         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2536         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2537
2538 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2539
2540         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2541
2542 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2543
2544         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2545         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2546         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
2547         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2548         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2549         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2550
2551 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2552
2553         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2554         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2555         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
2556         Steven G. Johnson.)
2557
2558 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2559
2560         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2561
2562 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2563
2564         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2565
2566 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2567
2568         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2569         be completed.
2570
2571 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2572
2573         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2574
2575 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2576
2577         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2578         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2579
2580 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2581
2582         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2583         similar in use to `use-modules'.
2584         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2585         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2586         transformer.
2587         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2588         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.

2590 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2591
2592         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2593
2594 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2595
2596         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2597         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2598         completion.
2599
2600         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2601         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2602
2603         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2604         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2605         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2606
2607         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2608
2609 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2610
2611         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2612
2613         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2614         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2615
2616 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2617
2618         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2619
2620 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2621
2622         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2623         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2624
2625         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2626
2627         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2628         obsolete.
2629
2630 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2631
2632         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2633         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2634
2635 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2636
2637         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2638
2639 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2640
2641         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2642         Stachowiak.)
2643
2644 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2645
2646         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2647         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2648         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2649         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2650         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2651         threads.
2652
2653 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2654
2655         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2656         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2657         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2658
2659 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2660
2661         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2662
2663         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2664         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2665
2666 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2667
2668         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2669         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2670         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2671         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2672         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2673         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2674         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2675         to go here.
2676
2677 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2678
2679         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2680         is now a fluid.
2681
2682 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2683
2684         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2685         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2686         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2687         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2688         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2689         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2690
2691 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2692
2693         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2694         usefully so they will work from a script.
2695
2696 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2697
2698         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2699         neighborhood of the record code.
2700
2701 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2702
2703         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2704         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2705         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2706         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2707
2708 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2709
2710         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2711         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2712         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2713
2714 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2715
2716         Add support for readline function.
2717         * readline.scm: New module.
2718         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2719         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2720         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2721         anything.
2722         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2723         repl-reader to use them.
2724         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2725
2726         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2727
2728 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2729
2730         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2731         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2732
2733 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2734
2735         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2736         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2737         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2738
2739 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2740
2741         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2742         #f, abort terminates the process.
2743         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2744         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2745
2746 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2747
2748         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2749         print-state, throw it away.
2750
2751 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2752
2753         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2754         `0'.
2755
2756 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2757
2758         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2759         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2760         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2761         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2762         user field).
2763         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2764         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2765
2766 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2767
2768         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2769
2770 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2771
2772         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2773         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2774         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2775         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2776         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2777         boot-9.scm.
2778         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2779         distribution and installation.
2780         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2781
2782 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2783
2784         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2785
2786 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2787
2788         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2789         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2790         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2791
2792         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2793         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2794         symbol.
2795
2796 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2797
2798         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2799
2800         * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.

2803
2804         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2805         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2806         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2807         field a separate argument.
2808
2809         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2810
2811 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2812
2813         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2814
2815         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2816         vicinity;
2817         Provide defmacro.
2818
2819 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2820

2822
2823 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2824
2825         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2826         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2827         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2828         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2829         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2830         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2831         registered.
2832         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2833         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2834         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2835         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2836         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2837         link a .so-file.
2838
2839 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2840
2841         * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!
2842
2843 Thu Sep 11 02:31:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2844
2845         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2846         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2847
2848 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2849
2850         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2851
2852         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2853         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2854         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2855         expansion inside the slib module.
2856
2857         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2858         constructors.
2859         (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2860         (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.
2861         (let): New core form.
2862         (if): Removed from core language.
2863         (or, and, let, cond): Removed syntactic definitions.
2864         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
2865         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2866
2867         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2868         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2869         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2870         source.
2871         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2872         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2873         been loaded.
2874
2875 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2876
2877         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2878         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2879         `use-syntax'.
2880         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2881
2882         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2883         (make-module): Modified initialization.
2884         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2885         mutator for module-associated transformer.
2886         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2887         `scm:eval-transformer'.
2888         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2889         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2890         module.
2891         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2892
2893 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2894
2895         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2896
2897         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2898         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2899         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2900         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2901         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2902
2903         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2904         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2905         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2906         syncase macros.
2907         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2908         the syncase interface.
2909
2910 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2911
2912         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2913         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2914         workings of the current module system).
2915
2916 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2917
2918         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2919         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2920         off!
2921
2922 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2923
2924         * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2925         (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2926         (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

2930         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2931         according to the following priorities:
2932         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2933         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2934         3. tcl bindings
2935         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2936         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2937         (new-interpreter): New function.
2938
2939         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2940         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2941         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2942
2943 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

2952

2958
2959         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2960         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2961         source!
2962
2963 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

2970         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2971         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2972         in stack-ref).
2973
2974         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2975         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2976         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2977         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2978         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2979         result protocol;
2980         (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2981         emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

2992
2993 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2994
2995         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2996         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2997         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2998
2999         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3000
3001         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3002         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
3003         R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman

3013         cstime.
3014
3015 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3016
3017         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3018         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3019         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3020
3021         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3022         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3023         the top.
3024
3025         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3026         order to narrow it correctly.
3027         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3028
3029 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3030
3031         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3032         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3033
3034 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3036         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
3037
3038 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3039
3040         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3041         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3042
3043 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3044
3045         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3046         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3047         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3048
3049 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3050
3051         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3052         automatically.
3053
3054 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3055
3056         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3057         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3058         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3059         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3060         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3061
3062 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3063
3064         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3065         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3066         a default of /.
3067
3068         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3069
3070 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3071
3072         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3073         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3074         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3075

3077         make-regexp.
3078
3079 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3080
3081         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3082         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3083         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3084         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3085         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3086         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3087
3088         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3089         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3090         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3091         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3092
3093 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3094
3095         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3096         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3097         sending in bug reports.
3098         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3099         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3100         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3101         display a warning if the two are different.
3102         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3103         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3104         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3105
3106 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3107
3108         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3109
3110 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3111
3112         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3113         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3114
3115         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3116         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3117         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3118         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3119         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3120         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3121         that's okay.
3122
3123         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3124         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3125         regexp interface.
3126
3127         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3128         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3129
3130         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3131         function names.
3132
3133         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3134         fixes.
3135
3136 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3137
3138         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3139         ../configure.in.
3140
3141 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3142
3143         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3144         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3145
3146 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3147
3148         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3149         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3150         to support printing of structures.
3151         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3152         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3153         commented out printing code.
3154         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3155         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3156
3157 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3158
3159         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3160
3161 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3162
3163         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3164         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3165         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3166         during call to scm-style-repl.
3167
3168 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3169
3170         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3171         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3172         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3173         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3174         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3175
3176 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3177
3178         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3179         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3180         (ice-9 regex).
3181
3182 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3183
3184         * regex.scm: New file.
3185         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3186         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3187
3188 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3189
3190         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3191         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3192         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

3196
3197         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3198         in 1997.
3199
3200 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3201
3202         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3203         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3204         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3205
3206 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3207
3208         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3209         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3210         here.
3211
3212 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3213
3214         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3215
3216 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3217
3218         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3220 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3221
3222         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3223         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3224         fixes this too.
3225
3226 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3227
3228         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3229         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3230         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3231
3232 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3233
3234         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3235         the Scheme code like code yet.
3236         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3237
3238 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3239
3240         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3241         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3242         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3243
3244 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3245
3246         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3247         use-modules macro
3248         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3249         can't be found.
3250
3251 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3252
3253         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3254
3255 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3256
3257         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3258
3259         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3260         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3261         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3262
3263 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3264

3266         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3267         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3268
3269         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3270         no plugins.
3271         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3272         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3273

3275
3276         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3277         functions.
3278
3279 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3280
3281         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3282
3283 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3284
3285         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3286         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3287
3288 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3289
3290         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3291         instead of in libguile.
3292         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3293         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3294
3295 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3296
3297         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3298         procedures.
3299         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3300         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3301
3302 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3303
3304         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3305         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3306
3307 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3308
3309         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3310         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3311         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3312         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3313
3314 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3315
3316         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3317         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3318
3319 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3320
3321         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3322
3323 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3324
3325         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3326         keywords and symbols.
3327
3328 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3329
3330         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3331
3332         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3333         Don't define read-sharp.
3334
3335         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3336         (read-sharp): removed.
3337         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3338         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3339
3340 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3341
3342         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3343
3344         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3345         primitive procedure.)
3346
3347         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3348         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3349
3350 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3351
3352         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3353
3354 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3355
3356         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3357
3358 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3359
3360         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3361         read gets EOF.
3362         * (exit): alias for quit.
3363
3364 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3365
3366         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3367         return the quit args.
3368         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3369         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3370         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3371
3372         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3373
3374 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3375
3376         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3377
3378         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3379         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3380
3381         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3382         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3383
3384         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3385         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3386         of handlers.
3387
3388 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3389
3390         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3391
3392         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3393         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3394         Change hooks to use these functions.
3395
3396         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3397         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3398         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3399         the source! :-)
3400         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3401         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3402         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3403         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3404         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3405         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3406         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3407         traced.
3408
3409         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3410         and exit-frame exceptions.
3411
3412         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3413         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3414         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3415         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3416         result; otherwise display "> ".
3417         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3418
3419         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3420         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3421         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3422         repository version runnable.
3423
3424 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3425
3426         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3427         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3428         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3429         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3430         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3431         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3432
3433 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3434
3435         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3436         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3437         and eval.
3438         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3439         "defined?".
3440         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3441         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
3442
3443 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3444
3445         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3446
3447 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3448
3449         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3450         %read-sharp layer.
3451
3452 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3453
3454         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3455         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3456
3457 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3458
3459         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
3460         backtrace.c.)
3461
3462 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3463
3464         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3465         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3466
3467 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3468
3469         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3470
3471         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3472         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3473         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3474         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3475         dynamic linking of modules.
3476         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3477         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3478
3479 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3480
3481         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3482
3483 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3484
3485         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3486         that's what it is.
3487
3488         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3489         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
3490         was false.
3491
3492 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3493
3494         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3495         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3496         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3497
3498 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3499
3500         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3501         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
3502         yet.
3503
3504 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3505
3506         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3507         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3508         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3509
3510 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3511
3512         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3513         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3514         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3515         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3516
3517         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3518         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3519         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3520         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3521         (such as the-scm-module).
3522
3523 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3524
3525         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3526         %search-load-path.
3527
3528 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
3529
3530         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3531         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3532         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3533
3534 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3535
3536         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3537         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3538         function, use it accordingly.
3539
3540 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3541
3542         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
3543         function of no arguments.
3544         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3545         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3546         set-current-module): Uses changed.
3547         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3548         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3549         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3550         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3551         *top-level-eval-closure*.
3552
3553 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3554
3555         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3556         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3557
3558 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3559
3560         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3561         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3562         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
3563         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
3564         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3565
3566         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3567         `*features*'.
3568
3569         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3570         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
3571         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3572         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3573
3574         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3575
3576         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3577
3578         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3579         If the user wants to see this, he can do
3580         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3581
3582         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3583         error.
3584
3585         Added `before-read-hook'.
3586
3587         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3588
3589         (provide): New function.
3590
3591         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3592         in backtraces.
3593
3594         (backtrace): New function.
3595
3596         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3597         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3598         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3599         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3600         is found in operator position in a frame.
3601
3602         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3603         by default.
3604
3605         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3606         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3607         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3608
3609         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3610
3611         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3612
3613         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3614
3615         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3616
3617 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3618
3619         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3620
3621         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3622         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3623
3624         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3625         so they'll get distributed.
3626
3627         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3628         should see as little clutter as possible.
3629         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3630         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3631         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3632
3633         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3634         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3635         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3636         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3637         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3638         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3639         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3640         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3641         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3642         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3643         that are not.
3644         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3645         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3646
3647         * test.scm: New file.
3648
3649         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3650         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3651         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3652
3653         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3654         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3655
3656         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3657         work now.
3658         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3659         call %load-announce.
3660
3661 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3662
3663         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3664         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3665         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3666         components.
3667         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3668
3669 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3670
3671         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3672         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3673         SCSH (which this isn't).
3674
3675 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3676
3677         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3678
3679 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3680
3681         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3682         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3683         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3684         these.
3685         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3686         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3687         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3688         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3689         save-stack.
3690
3691 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3692
3693         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3694
3695         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3696
3697         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3698         error-catching-loop.
3699         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3700         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3701         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3702
3703         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3704         error-catching-loop.
3705
3706 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3707
3708         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3709         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3710         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3711         should be '(), not #f.
3712
3713         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3714         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3715
3716 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3717
3718         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3719         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3720         error-signal.
3721
3722 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3723
3724         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3725         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3726         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3727         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3728
3729 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3730
3731         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3732
3733 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3734
3735         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3736
3737         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3738         throw-handler-default.
3739         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3740         reported.
3741         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3742         acro.
3743         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3744         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3745
3746 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3747
3748         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3749         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3750         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3751         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3752
3753 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3754
3755         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3756         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3757         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3758         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3759         ...))
3760         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3761         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3762         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3763         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3764         file-is-directory?
3765
3766 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3767
3768         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3769
3770         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3771         distribution.
3772
3773         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3774         `switch-repl'.
3775
3776         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3777
3778 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3779
3780         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3781         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3782
3783 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3784
3785         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3786
3787         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3788
3789 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3790
3791         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3792         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3793         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3794         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3795         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3796
3797         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3798         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3799         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3800         they seem redundant.
3801         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3802         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3803         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3804         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3805         directly files starting with "/").
3806         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3807         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3808
3809         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3810
3811 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3812
3813         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3814         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3815         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3816         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3817         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3818         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3819         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3820         robust to just do it in the C code.
3821
3822 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3823
3824         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
3825         %try-load itself was the primitive.
3826         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3827         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3828         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3829
3830 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3831
3832         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3833         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3834         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3835
3836 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3837
3838         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3839         system-error, not every kind of error.
3840         (scm-error): new procedure.
3841
3842 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3843
3844         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3845
3846 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3847
3848         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3849         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
3850         of args are supplied.
3851         (%%system-errors): removed.
3852         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3853         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3854         %%handle-system-error.
3855         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3856         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3857         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3858         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3859
3860 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3861
3862         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3863         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3864         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3865         %S (embed an argument using "write").
3866
3867 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3868
3869         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3870         the empty list if they are #f.
3871         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3872
3873 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3874
3875         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3876
3877         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3878         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3879         aborting, just the key and subr.
3880         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3881         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3882         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3883
3884 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3885
3886         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3887         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3888         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3889         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3890         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3891
3892 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3893
3894         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3895         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3896         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3897         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3898
3899 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3900
3901         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3902         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3903         initialize %load-path.
3904
3905         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3906         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3907
3908 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3909
3910         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3911         Add the directory named after the version number.
3912         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3913         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3914         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3915         sitedatadir): New definitions.
3916         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3917         (install): Create the above directories.
3918         Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3919         (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3920
3921 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3922
3923         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3924         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3925         in the Makefile directly.
3926         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3927         for these.
3928         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3929         aux_files.
3930         * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3931         here, where people expect to find them.

3934
3935         * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3936         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3937
3938         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3939
3940 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3941
3942         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3943         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)
3944
3945 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3946
3947         * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3948         Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3949
3950         * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
