   2
   3         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
   4         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
   5         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

  17
  18         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on

  21         New.
  22
  23 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  24

  29
  30         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.

  32
  33         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
  34         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
  35         evaluator trap options.)
  36

  50
  51         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use

  55
  56         * match.scm:
  57         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
  58         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
  59         No longer require `pretty-print'.
  60
  61         (slib:error): Delete.
  62         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
  63
  64         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

  72
  73 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
  76         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
  77         rdelim) module.  See below.
  78
  79 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  80
  81         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
  82         include-deprecated-features is true.
  83
  84 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  85
  86         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
  87         unknown objects.
  88
  89         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
  90         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
  91         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
  92
  93         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
  94         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
  95         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
  96         Köppe!
  97
  98 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
  99
 100         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
 101         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
 102         variable, not just a visible one.
 103         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
 104         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
 105         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
 106         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
 107         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
 108         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
 109         variables.
 110         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
 111
 112         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
 113         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
 114
 115 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
 118         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
 119
 120 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 121
 122         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
 123
 124 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 125
 126         Added exception notice to all files.
 127
 128         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
 129         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
 130         importing bindings once in a while.
 131
 132 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
 135         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
 136         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
 137         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
 138         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
 139         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
 140         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
 141         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
 142         message.
 143         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
 144         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
 145
 146 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 147
 148         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
 149         fix command so that it works.
 150
 151         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
 152         to access unbound variables.
 153
 154         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
 155         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
 156         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
 157         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
 158         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
 159
 160 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 161
 162         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
 163         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
 164         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
 165         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
 166         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
 167         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
 168         argument for process-define-module.
 169         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
 170         arguments for process-use-modules.
 171         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
 172
 173 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 174
 175         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
 176         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
 177         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
 178         module.
 179
 180         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
 181         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
 182         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
 183
 184         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
 185
 186 2001-05-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 187
 188         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
 189         to feature lists.
 190         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
 191
 192 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 193
 194         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
 195         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
 196
 197 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 198
 199         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
 200         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
 201         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 202
 203 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 204
 205         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
 206         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
 207
 208         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
 209         `display'.
 210
 211 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 212
 213         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
 214         * match.scm: Likewise.
 215         * expect.scm: Likewise.
 216         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
 217
 218         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
 219
 220         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
 221
 222         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
 223         set-current-module.
 224         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
 225         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
 226         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
 227         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
 228         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
 229         element list when adding "." to it.
 230         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
 231         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
 232
 233 2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 234
 235         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
 236         cleanup; nfc.
 237         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
 238         now accepts arg; update callers.
 239         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
 240         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
 241
 242         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
 243         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
 244         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
 245         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
 246         `search-documentation-files'.
 247         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
 248         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

 250
 251         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
 252         Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

 259
 260         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
 261         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

 263
 264 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

 267         used module's public interface is not available.
 268         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
 269         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
 270
 271 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 272
 273         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
 274
 275         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
 276         the module obarray.
 277         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
 278
 279         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
 280         the magical undefined value.
 281         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
 282         the default default for bindings.
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
 285         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 286         (root-module-closure): Removed.
 287         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 288         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
 289         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
 290         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
 291         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
 292         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
 293         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
 294         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
 295         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
 296         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
 297         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
 298         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
 299         `set-current-module' call.
 300         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
 301         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
 302
 303         * debug.scm: Use `module-set!' instead of `variable-set!' to set
 304         insert `debug-options' into the-root-module.

 308
 309         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-repl): Call the E
 310         ("eval'er") procedure via call-with-values and call the P

 312
 313 2001-05-14  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 314
 315         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Reduce feature list to built-in
 316         features.

 321         Deprecated.
 322
 323 2001-05-11  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 331         `module-public-interface'.
 332         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
 333         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
 334         or a interface spec.
 335         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
 336         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
 337         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
 338         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
 339         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
 340         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
 341         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
 342         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
 343         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
 344         `provided?'.
 345
 346 2001-05-06  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
 347
 348         * q.scm, runq.scm, getopt-long.scm: Update copyright.
 349         Surround commentary w/ standard markers; nfc.
 350
 351         * expect.scm: Update copyright.
 352         Fix commentary typo; nfc.
 353
 354 2001-05-05  Rob Browning  <rlb@cs.utexas.edu>

 357
 358 2001-05-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 359
 360         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Change error message to say
 361         `use-syntax' rather than `use-modules'.
 362
 363 2001-05-02  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 364
 365         * safe-r5rs.scm: Fix typo: make-rectangualr => make-rectangular.
 366
 367 2001-05-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 368

 370         (call-with-deprecation): Removed.
 371         (id): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of

 581
 582         * boot-9.scm (save-stack): Use `primitive-eval' for stack
 583         cutting.  Makes backtraces work again!  Also added a reference to
 584         save-stack from the place in the repl where the primitive-eval
 585         frame is invoked.
 586

 640
 641 2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 642
 643         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
 644         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
 645
 646         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
 647         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
 648
 649         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
 650         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
 651
 652 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 653
 654         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
 655         in C for now.
 656         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
 657         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
 658
 659 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 660
 661         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
 662         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
 663         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
 664         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
 665         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
 666         for now.

 669
 670 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 671
 672         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
 673         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
 674         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
 675         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
 676         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
 677         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
 678         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

 684
 685 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 686
 687         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
 688         any more.
 689
 690 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 691

 713         make-shared-substring.
 714
 715 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 716
 717         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
 718         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
 719         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
 720         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
 721         scm-style-repl.
 722

 728 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 729
 730         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
 731         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
 732         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
 733         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
 734         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
 735         Pirotte for the bug report).
 736         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
 737         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

 756         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
 757         Jacques A. Vidrine.
 758
 759 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 760
 761         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
 762         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
 763         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
 764
 765         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
 766         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
 767         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
 768         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
 769         actual documentation entries themselves.
 770
 771 2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 772
 773         * boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)
 774
 775 2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 776
 777         * syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.
 778
 779 2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 780
 781         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
 782         Convert first argument to a string.
 783
 784         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
 785         getter-and-setter-syntax,
 786         delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
 787         argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)
 788
 789         * oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.
 790
 791         * boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.
 792
 793 2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 794
 795         * boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.
 796
 797 2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 798
 799         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
 800         `symbol-append'.
 801         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
 802         args.
 803         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
 804         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
 805         even worked...  /mdj.
 806         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
 807         `symbol->string'.
 808         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
 809         semantics.
 810
 811 2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 812
 813         * psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
 814         form set!.
 815
 816 2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 817
 818         * optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
 819         #:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!
 820
 821 2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 822
 823         * optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

 833
 834 2000-08-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 835
 836         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
 837         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
 838         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
 839         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
 840         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)
 841
 842         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
 843
 844 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 845
 846         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
 847         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
 848
 849         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
 850         syntactic bindings.
 851
 852         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
 853         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
 854         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
 855         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
 856
 857         * syncase.scm (eval): Add second arg both in definition and use.
 858
 859         * slib.scm (slib:eval): Use eval instead of eval-in-module.
 860         (defmacro:eval): Eval in (interaction-environment).
 861
 862         * safe-r5rs.scm (eval): Removed definition.
 863
 864         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
 865         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
 866
 867 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
 868
 869         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
 870         definition of module-type.
 871
 872         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
 873
 874         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
 875
 876         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
 877         lines.
 878         (process-define-module): Bugfix: Make sure that exports are done
 879         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
 880
 881 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 882
 883         * common-list.scm (uniq): Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to thi!
 884
 885 2000-07-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 886
 887         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return
 888         an exact result if the input paramters were exact.  Thanks to
 889         Mikael for the suggestion.
 890
 891 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 892
 893         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
 894         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
 895
 896 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 897
 898         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
 899         for export args.
 900
 901 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 902
 903         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
 904
 905 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 906
 907         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
 908         remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
 909         for the hint.
 910
 911         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
 912         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
 913         tail recursive yet.
 914
 915 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 916
 917         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
 918         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
 921         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
 922         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
 923         See NEWS.
 924         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
 925
 926         * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
 927
 928 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 929
 930         * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
 931         module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
 932
 933 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 934
 935         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
 936         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
 937
 938 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 939
 940         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
 941         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
 942
 943 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 944
 945         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
 946
 947         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
 948
 949         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
 950
 951 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 952
 953         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
 954         '() instead of #f.
 955         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
 956         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
 957         `the-root-module'.
 958         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
 959
 960         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
 961         documentation.scm.
 962
 963         * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
 964         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
 965         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
 966         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
 967         (help): Rewritten.
 968
 969         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
 970
 971         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
 972
 973 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 974
 975         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
 976         (write-all): Removed.
 977         (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
 978         documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.
 979
 980 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
 981
 982         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
 983         `proc-documentation'
 984
 985         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
 986         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
 987         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
 988         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
 989         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
 990         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
 991         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
 992         getter...)
 993
 994 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
 997
 998 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
 999
1000         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1001         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
1002         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1003         closure.
1004
1005 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1006
1007         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
1008         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1009         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
1010         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
1011         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1012         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1013         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1014
1015 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1016
1017         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
1018         accept complex numbers as parameter.
1019
1020 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1021
1022         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1023         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
1024
1025 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1026
1027         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1028         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1029         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1030         instead of remove-if when iterating.
1031         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1032         delete-if! when iterating.
1033
1034 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1035
1036         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1037
1038 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1039
1040         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
1041
1042 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1043
1044         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1045         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
1046         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1047         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1048
1049 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1050
1051         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
1052         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1053
1054 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1055
1056         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
1057         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1058         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
1059         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
1060
1061 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1062
1063         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1064         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1065
1066 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1067
1068         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1069         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1070
1071 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1072
1073         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1074         Dirk Hermann!
1075
1076 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1077
1078         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1079         source of the numerous very short changes.
1080
1081 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1082
1083         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1084         public.
1085
1086         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1087         info pages.
1088
1089 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1090
1091         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1092         from slib docs.
1093
1094 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1095
1096         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1097         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1098
1099 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1100
1101         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1102         to string-append.
1103
1104 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1105
1106         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1107         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
1108         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1109
1110 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1111
1112         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1113         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1114         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
1115         Narazaki for this change.
1116
1117 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1118
1119         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1120         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1121         %S.
1122
1123         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1124         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1125
1126 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1127
1128         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look

1138
1139         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1140         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1141         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

1176
1177         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1178         available before using getpw and getuid.
1179         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1180         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1181         check for stat.
1182         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1183         check for .guile, instead of stat.
1184         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1185         available.

1188         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1189
1190         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from

1223
1224         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1225         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1226
1227 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1228
1229         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

1244
1245         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of

1249
1250 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1251
1252         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if

1258         argument.
1259

1262         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1263         Use selector `frame-number';

1270
1271         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1272         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1273         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1274
1275         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1276         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
1277         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
1278
1279 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1280
1281         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.

1283         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1284
1285         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.

1288
1289 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1290
1291         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1292         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
1293         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
1294         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1295         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1296         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1297         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1298         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1299         libguile-config-stamp.
1300         * version.scm.in: Delete.
1301         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1302         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1303         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1304         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1305
1306 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1307
1308         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1309         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1310         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1313         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1314         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1315         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
1316         readline.
1317
1318         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1319
1320 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1321
1322         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1323
1324 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1325
1326         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1327         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1328
1329 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1330
1331         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1332         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1333         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1334         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1335         objects starting with '#/'.
1336
1337 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1338
1339         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1340         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1341         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1342         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1343         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1344         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1345         `observer-id'.
1346         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1347         module-modified): New procedures.
1348         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1349         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1350
1351 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1352
1353         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1354         defines.
1355
1356 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1357
1358         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1359         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1360         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1361
1362         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1363         position.
1364
1365 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1366
1367         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1368         at multiple calls to read.
1369         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1370         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1371         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1372         continued-lines prompt.
1373
1374         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1375         reading expressions.
1376
1377 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1378
1379         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1380         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1381
1382 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1383
1384         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1385         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
1386         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1387
1388         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1389
1390         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1391         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1392
1393         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1394         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
1395         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1396         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1397         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1398         instead of a port.
1399
1400 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1401
1402         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1403         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1404
1405         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1406
1407         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
1408         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
1409         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1410         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1411
1412         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1413
1414         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1415
1416         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
1417         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1418         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
1419         an alist.
1420
1421         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1422
1423         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1424         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
1425         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1426         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1427         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
1428         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1429         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1430         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1431         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
1432         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1433         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
1434
1435         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1436
1437         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1438         peeked from the stream.
1439         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1440         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1441         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1442
1443         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1444
1445         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1446         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1447
1448         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1449
1450         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1451         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
1452         exiting repl with single control-D.
1453
1454         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1455
1456         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1457         error catching loop after quit received.
1458         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1459
1460         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1461         primitive exit if non-interactive.
1462         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1463
1464         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1465         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1466         boot-9.scm.
1467         * popen.scm: new file.
1468
1469 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1470
1471        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
1472        (reverse-iota):  removed.
1473
1474 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1475
1476         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1477         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1478
1479 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1480
1481         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1482         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1483         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1484         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1485         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1486
1487 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1488
1489         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1490
1491         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1492         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1493
1494         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1495         Guile's module system.
1496
1497         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1498         changes:
1499         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1500         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1501         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1502         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
1503         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1504         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1505         modern CL behavior.
1506         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1507         '() when the condition is false.
1508
1509 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1510
1511         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1512
1513 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1514
1515         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1516
1517 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1518
1519         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1520         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1521         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1522
1523 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1524
1525         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1526         argument order for hash-fold.
1527
1528 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1529
1530         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
1531         resolve-module.
1532         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1533         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1534
1535         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1536         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1537         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1538         has been added to the load path).
1539
1540         Use try-load-module.
1541
1542 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1543
1544         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
1545         module between system and user state.
1546
1547 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1548
1549         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1550
1551         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1552         definition.
1553
1554 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1555
1556         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1557         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1558         system can create a wrapper class for it.
1559
1560 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1561
1562         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1563         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
1564         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1565         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1566         stack frame encountered.
1567
1568         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1569         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1570         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1571         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1572         list).]
1573
1574         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1575         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1576         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1577         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
1578         please tell me!]
1579
1580         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1581         define-module switches:
1582
1583         (define-module (foo)
1584           :no-backtrace)
1585
1586         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1587         modules.
1588
1589         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1590         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1591         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
1592         module it is a system frame.
1593
1594         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1595         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1596         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1597         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
1598         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1599
1600         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1601         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
1602         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1603         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1604         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
1605         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1606
1607         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1608         status of a module.;
1609         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1610         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1611
1612         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1613         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1614         closure to the module.
1615
1616         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1617
1618 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1619
1620         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1621
1622 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1623
1624         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1625
1626 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1627
1628         Fix from Russ McManus:
1629         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1630         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1631         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1632         either an optional or required value.
1633
1634 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1635
1636         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1637
1638         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1639         of the '() key, not `rest'.
1640
1641         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1642         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1643         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1644         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1645
1646 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1647
1648         * optargs.scm: New file.
1649         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1650         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1651
1652 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1653
1654         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1655         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1656         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1657
1658 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1659
1660         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1661         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1662         for isn't loaded.
1663
1664 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1665
1666         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1667
1668 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1669
1670         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1671         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1672         applied to the module itself.
1673
1674 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1675
1676         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1677
1678         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
1679         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1680
1681 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1682
1683         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1684
1685 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1686
1687         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1688
1689 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1690
1691         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1692         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1693
1694 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1695
1696         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1697         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1698         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1699         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1700         among BINDINGS is referenced.
1701         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
1702         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1703
1704 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1705
1706         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1707         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1708
1709 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
1710
1711         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1712         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1713         static libraries.
1714
1715 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1716
1717         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1718
1719 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1720
1721         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1722
1723 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1724
1725         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1726         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1727         adapt to the new hooks.
1728
1729 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1730
1731         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1732         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
1733         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1734         code.
1735         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1736         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1737
1738         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1739         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1740         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1741         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1742         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1743         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1744         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1745         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1746         first to register linked modules.
1747
1748         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1749         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1750         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1751
1752         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1753         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1754         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1755         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1756
1757         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1758         to use from C:
1759         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1760         libguile/feature.c.
1761
1762         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1763         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1764         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1765
1766 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
1767
1768         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1769         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1770         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1771
1772 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1773
1774         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
1775         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1776         result of the last form.
1777
1778 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1779
1780         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1781         syncase.scm.
1782
1783         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1784
1785         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1786         readline-set!: New options interface.
1787
1788         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1789
1790 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1791
1792         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1793         at the end of boot-9.scm.
1794
1795 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1796
1797         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1798         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1799
1800 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1801
1802         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1803         interactive session.
1804         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1805
1806         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1807         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1808
1809 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1810
1811         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
1812
1813 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1814
1815         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
1816         read line was empty.
1817
1818 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1819
1820         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
1821         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
1822
1823         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
1824
1825         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
1826         problem.  Duh.
1827         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
1828         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
1829         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
1830
1831         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
1832         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
1833         into...
1834         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
1835         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
1836         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
1837
1838         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
1839         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
1840         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
1841         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
1842         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
1843         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
1844         psyntax.ss.
1845         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1846
1847         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
1848         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1849
1850 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1851
1852         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
1853         and short vectors #h(...).
1854
1855 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1856
1857         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
1858         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
1859         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
1860
1861 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1862
1863         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
1864         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
1865         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
1866
1867 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1868
1869         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
1870         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
1871
1872         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
1873         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
1874         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
1875         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
1876
1877 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1878
1879         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
1880         trace flag.
1881
1882         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
1883         order to allow the empty list as arg.
1884         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
1885         context with traps enabled.
1886
1887 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1888
1889         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1890         module.
1891         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1892
1893 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1894
1895         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1896         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1897         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
1898         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1899         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1900
1901 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1902
1903         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1904         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1905
1906 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1907
1908         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1909
1910 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1911
1912         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1913
1914 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1915
1916         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1917
1918 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1919
1920         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1921         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1922
1923 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1924
1925         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1926         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1927         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1928         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
1929         Archibald.)
1930
1931         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1932         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1933         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1934
1935 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1936
1937         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1938         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1939         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1940         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
1941         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1942         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1943         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1944
1945 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1946
1947         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1948
1949 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1950
1951         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1952         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1953         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
1954         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1955         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1956         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1957
1958 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1959
1960         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1961         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1962         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
1963         Steven G. Johnson.)
1964
1965 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1966
1967         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1968
1969 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1970
1971         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1972
1973 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1974
1975         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1976         be completed.
1977
1978 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1979
1980         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1981
1982 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1983
1984         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1985         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1986
1987 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1988
1989         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1990         similar in use to `use-modules'.
1991         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1992         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1993         transformer.
1994         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1995         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1996
1997 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1998
1999         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2000
2001 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2002
2003         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2004         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2005         completion.
2006
2007         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2008         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2009
2010         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2011         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2012         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2013
2014         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2015
2016 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2017
2018         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2019
2020         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2021         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2022
2023 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2024
2025         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2026
2027 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2028
2029         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
2030         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2031
2032         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2033
2034         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
2035         obsolete.
2036
2037 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2038
2039         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2040         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2041
2042 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2043
2044         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2045
2046 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2047
2048         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
2049         Stachowiak.)
2050
2051 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2052
2053         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2054         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
2055         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2056         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2057         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2058         threads.
2059
2060 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2061
2062         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2063         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2064         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2065
2066 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2067
2068         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2069
2070         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2071         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2072
2073 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2074
2075         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2076         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2077         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2078         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2079         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
2080         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2081         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2082         to go here.
2083
2084 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2085
2086         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2087         is now a fluid.
2088
2089 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
2090
2091         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2092         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2093         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
2094         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
2095         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2096         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2097
2098 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2099
2100         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2101         usefully so they will work from a script.
2102
2103 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2104
2105         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2106         neighborhood of the record code.
2107
2108 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2109
2110         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
2111         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2112         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2113         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2114
2115 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2116
2117         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2118         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2119         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2120
2121 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2122
2123         Add support for readline function.
2124         * readline.scm: New module.
2125         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2126         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2127         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2128         anything.
2129         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2130         repl-reader to use them.
2131         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2132
2133         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2134
2135 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2136
2137         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2138         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2139
2140 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2141
2142         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2143         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2144         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2145
2146 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2147
2148         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
2149         #f, abort terminates the process.
2150         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2151         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
2152
2153 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2154
2155         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2156         print-state, throw it away.
2157
2158 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2159
2160         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2161         `0'.
2162
2163 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2164
2165         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2166         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2167         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2168         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2169         user field).
2170         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2171         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2172
2173 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2174
2175         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2176
2177 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2178
2179         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2180         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2181         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2182         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2183         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2184         boot-9.scm.
2185         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2186         distribution and installation.

2194
2195         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2196         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
2197         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2198
2199         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2200         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2201         symbol.

2212         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2213         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2214         field a separate argument.
2215
2216         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.

2232         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2233         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2234         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2235         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2236         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
2237         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2238         registered.
2239         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2240         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2241         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2242         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2243         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically

2256
2257         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2258
2259         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2260         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2261         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
2262         expansion inside the slib module.
2263
2264         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

2272         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2273
2274         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2275         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2276         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2277         source.
2278         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2279         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2280         been loaded.
2281
2282 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

2292         mutator for module-associated transformer.

2296         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
2297         module.
2298         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
2299
2300 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2301
2302         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2303
2304         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2305         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2306         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2307         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2308         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

2310         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2311         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2312         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2313         syncase macros.

2315         the syncase interface.

2317 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2318
2319         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2320         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2321         workings of the current module system).
2322
2323 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2324
2325         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2326         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

2336
2337         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2338         according to the following priorities:
2339         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2340         2. bindings from the-scm-module
2341         3. tcl bindings
2342         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2343         disabling the scheme interpreter.
2344         (new-interpreter): New function.
2345
2346         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2347         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2348         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

2365
2366         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2367         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
2368         source!
2369

2377         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
2378         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2379         in stack-ref).
2380
2381         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2382         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2383         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2384         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2385         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2386         result protocol;

2401
2402         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2403         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2404         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2405
2406         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2407
2408         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

2423
2424         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2425         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2426         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2427
2428         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2429         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2430         the top.
2431
2432         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2433         order to narrow it correctly.

2447         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2448         builtin `with-fluids*'.
2449
2450 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2451
2452         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2453         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
2454         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

2489         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2490         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
2491         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2492         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2493         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2494
2495         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2496         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2497         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2498         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2499
2500 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2501
2502         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2503         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
2504         sending in bug reports.
2505         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2506         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2507         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2508         display a warning if the two are different.
2509         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2510         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2511         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

2519         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2520         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2521
2522         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2523         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2524         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2525         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2526         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2527         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2528         that's okay.
2529
2530         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
2531         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2532         regexp interface.
2533
2534         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2535         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
2536
2537         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2538         function names.
2539
2540         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2541         fixes.

2544
2545         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2546         ../configure.in.
2547
2548 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2549
2550         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2551         vtable and not the one of the struct.
2552
2553 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2554
2555         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2556         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2557         to support printing of structures.
2558         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2559         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
2560         commented out printing code.
2561         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2562         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2563
2564 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2565
2566         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2567
2568 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2569
2570         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2571         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2572         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2573         during call to scm-style-repl.
2574
2575 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2576
2577         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2578         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2579         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2580         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
2581         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
2582
2583 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2584
2585         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2586         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2587         (ice-9 regex).
2588
2589 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2590
2591         * regex.scm: New file.
2592         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2593         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2594
2595 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2596
2597         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2598         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2599         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2600         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2601
2602 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2603
2604         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2605         in 1997.
2606
2607 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2608
2609         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2610         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
2611         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2612
2613 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2614
2615         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2616         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2617         here.
2618
2619 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2620
2621         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2622
2623 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2624
2625         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2626
2627 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2628
2629         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2630         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2631         fixes this too.
2632
2633 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2634
2635         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2636         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2637         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
2638
2639 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2640
2641         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2642         the Scheme code like code yet.
2643         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2644
2645 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2646
2647         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2648         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
2649         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2650
2651 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2652
2653         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2654         use-modules macro
2655         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2656         can't be found.
2657
2658 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2659
2660         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2661
2662 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2663
2664         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2665
2666         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2667         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2668         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2669
2670 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2671
2672         Get 'make dist' to work again.
2673         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2674         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2675
2676         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2677         no plugins.
2678         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2679         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2680
2681 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2682
2683         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2684         functions.
2685
2686 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2687
2688         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2689
2690 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2691
2692         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2693         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2694
2695 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2696
2697         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2698         instead of in libguile.
2699         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2700         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2701
2702 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2705         procedures.
2706         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2707         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2708
2709 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2710
2711         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2712         sockaddr:port): new functions.
2713
2714 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2715
2716         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2717         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2718         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2719         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2720
2721 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2722
2723         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2724         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2725
2726 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2727
2728         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2729
2730 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2731
2732         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2733         keywords and symbols.
2734
2735 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2736
2737         * slib.scm: update read usage.
2738
2739         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2740         Don't define read-sharp.
2741
2742         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2743         (read-sharp): removed.
2744         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2745         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2746
2747 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2748
2749         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2750
2751         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
2752         primitive procedure.)
2753
2754         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2755         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2756
2757 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2758
2759         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2760
2761 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2762
2763         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2764
2765 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2766
2767         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2768         read gets EOF.
2769         * (exit): alias for quit.
2770
2771 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2772
2773         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2774         return the quit args.
2775         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2776         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
2777         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2778
2779         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2780
2781 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2782
2783         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2784
2785         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2786         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2787
2788         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2789         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2790
2791         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2792         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2793         of handlers.
2794
2795 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2796
2797         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2798
2799         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2800         (add-hooks!): New macro.
2801         Change hooks to use these functions.
2802
2803         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
2804         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2805         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2806         the source! :-)
2807         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2808         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2809         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2810         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
2811         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2812         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
2813         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
2814         traced.
2815
2816         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
2817         and exit-frame exceptions.
2818
2819         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
2820         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
2821         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
2822         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
2823         result; otherwise display "> ".
2824         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
2825
2826         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
2827         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
2828         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
2829         repository version runnable.
2830
2831 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2832
2833         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
2834         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
2835         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
2836         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
2837         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
2838         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
2839
2840 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2841
2842         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
2843         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
2844         and eval.
2845         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
2846         "defined?".
2847         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
2848         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
2849
2850 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2851
2852         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
2853
2854 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2855
2856         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
2857         %read-sharp layer.
2858
2859 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2860
2861         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
2862         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
2863
2864 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2865
2866         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
2867         backtrace.c.)
2868
2869 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2870
2871         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
2872         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
2873
2874 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2876         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
2877
2878         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
2879         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
2880         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
2881         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
2882         dynamic linking of modules.
2883         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
2884         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
2885
2886 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2887
2888         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2889
2890 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2891
2892         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2893         that's what it is.
2894
2895         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2896         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
2897         was false.
2898
2899 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2900
2901         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2902         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2903         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2904
2905 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2906
2907         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2908         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
2909         yet.
2910
2911 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2912
2913         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2914         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2915         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2916
2917 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2918
2919         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2920         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2921         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2922         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2923
2924         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2925         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2926         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2927         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2928         (such as the-scm-module).
2929
2930 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2931
2932         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2933         %search-load-path.
2934
2935 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
2936
2937         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2938         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2939         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2940
2941 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2942
2943         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2944         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2945         function, use it accordingly.
2946
2947 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2948
2949         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
2950         function of no arguments.
2951         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2952         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2953         set-current-module): Uses changed.
2954         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2955         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2956         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2957         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2958         *top-level-eval-closure*.
2959
2960 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2961
2962         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2963         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2964
2965 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2966
2967         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2968         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2969         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
2970         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
2971         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2972
2973         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2974         `*features*'.
2975
2976         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2977         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
2978         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2979         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2980
2981         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2982
2983         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2984
2985         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2986         If the user wants to see this, he can do
2987         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2988
2989         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2990         error.
2991
2992         Added `before-read-hook'.
2993
2994         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2995
2996         (provide): New function.
2997
2998         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2999         in backtraces.
3000
3001         (backtrace): New function.
3002
3003         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3004         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3005         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
3006         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3007         is found in operator position in a frame.
3008
3009         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3010         by default.
3011
3012         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3013         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3014         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3015
3016         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
3017
3018         (library-vicinity): Updated.
3019
3020         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3021
3022         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3023
3024 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3025
3026         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3027
3028         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3029         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
3030
3031         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3032         so they'll get distributed.
3033
3034         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
3035         should see as little clutter as possible.
3036         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3037         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3038         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3039
3040         * r4rs.scm: New file.
3041         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3042         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3043         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3044         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
3045         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
3046         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
3047         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
3048         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3049         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3050         that are not.
3051         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3052         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3053
3054         * test.scm: New file.
3055
3056         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3057         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
3058         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3059
3060         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3061         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3062
3063         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3064         work now.
3065         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
3066         call %load-announce.
3067
3068 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3069
3070         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3071         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3072         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3073         components.
3074         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3075
3076 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3077
3078         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3079         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3080         SCSH (which this isn't).
3081
3082 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3083
3084         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3085
3086 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3087
3088         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3089         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3090         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3091         these.
3092         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
3093         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
3094         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3095         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3096         save-stack.
3097
3098 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3099
3100         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3101
3102         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3103
3104         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3105         error-catching-loop.
3106         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3107         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3108         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3109
3110         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3111         error-catching-loop.
3112
3113 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3114
3115         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3116         (make-module): Rework for readability.
3117         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3118         should be '(), not #f.
3119
3120         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3121         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3122
3123 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3124
3125         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3126         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3127         error-signal.
3128
3129 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3130
3131         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3132         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3133         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3134         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3135
3136 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3137
3138         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3139
3140 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3141
3142         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3143
3144         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3145         throw-handler-default.
3146         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3147         reported.
3148         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3149         acro.
3150         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3151         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3152
3153 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3154
3155         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3156         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3157         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3158         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3159
3160 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3161
3162         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3163         Append "." to the default %load-path.
3164         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3165         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3166         ...))
3167         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3168         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3169         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3170         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3171         file-is-directory?
3172
3173 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3174
3175         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3176
3177         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3178         distribution.
3179
3180         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3181         `switch-repl'.
3182
3183         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3184
3185 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3186
3187         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3188         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3189
3190 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3191
3192         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3193
3194         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3195
3196 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3197
3198         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
3199         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3200         Don't set up 'error as a key.
3201         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3202         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3203
3204         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3205         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3206         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3207         they seem redundant.
3208         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3209         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
3210         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3211         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
3212         directly files starting with "/").
3213         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3214         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3215

3219
3220         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3221         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3222         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
3223         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3224         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3225         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3226         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
3227         robust to just do it in the C code.

3234         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3235         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

3259         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3260         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3261         %%handle-system-error.
3262         (%%default-error-handler): removed.

3280 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3281
3282         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.

3292
3293         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3294         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
3295         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3296         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3297         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

3332         in the Makefile directly.
3333         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3334         for these.
