3 * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
4 (*features*): Extend. (Probably some of these options should be
5 set elsewhere.) (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
7 * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
8 channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

12 safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
13 syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
14 `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
15 into the `define-module' form. This is the recommended way of
18 2001-10-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
20 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
23 2001-10-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
25 * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
26 of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
27 the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
28 interfering with parsing of numbers.)
30 2001-10-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@linnaeus>
32 * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
33 %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

55 the `arglist' procedure property.
56 * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
57 present a more detailed argument list.
59 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
61 2001-09-07 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
63 * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission

101 2001-08-30 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
103 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
104 interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
105 not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
107 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
109 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
110 interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
112 2001-08-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

116 2001-08-12 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
118 * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
122 2001-08-02 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
124 * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
125 last-command fluid is not yet set.
127 2001-08-02 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
129 * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
131 (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
132 value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
133 next element is to be taken as the option arg.
135 2001-07-31 Keisuke Nishida <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
137 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
138 handle :use-syntax correctly.
140 2001-07-24 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
142 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
145 2001-07-23 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
147 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
148 maintainer mode. Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.

151 * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
153 2001-07-18 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

157 receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
159 2001-07-17 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
161 * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
162 primitives. Thanks Neil!
164 2001-07-13 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
166 * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
167 re-exported core bindings. Do not re-export `numerator',
168 `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
169 Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
171 * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
172 core bindings. Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
173 since there aren't definitions for them.
175 * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
176 argument is "renamer" not "rename".
178 2001-07-09 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
180 * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
181 is #f. Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
183 2001-07-06 Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
185 * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
186 extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
188 2001-06-30 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
190 * arrays.scm: Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b': #b
191 is already defined by R5RS. Further, there is already a working
192 read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
194 2001-06-30 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
196 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
198 * tags.scm: Removed file.
200 2001-06-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
202 Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
203 is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
205 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
206 whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
207 (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
210 2001-06-27 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
212 * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
213 was a cut-n-paste error previously.
215 2001-06-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

234 * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
236 2001-06-14 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
238 * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
239 `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
241 2001-06-13 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
244 No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
245 Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
246 No longer require `pretty-print'.
248 (slib:error): Delete.
249 (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
251 Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
256 Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
260 2001-06-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
262 * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
263 `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
264 rdelim) module. See below.
266 2001-06-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
268 * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
269 include-deprecated-features is true.
271 2001-06-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
273 * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
276 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
277 real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
278 Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
280 * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
281 (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
282 `port', if it has one. Else leave it alone. Thanks to Matthias
285 2001-06-05 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
287 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
288 `module-ensure-variable!'. Make sure that there really is a local
289 variable, not just a visible one.
290 (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
291 (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
292 enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable. When
293 deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
294 creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
295 (module-re-export!): New. Use this for re-exporting imported
297 (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
299 * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
300 re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
302 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
304 * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
305 instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
307 2001-06-04 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
309 * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
311 2001-06-04 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
313 Added exception notice to all files.
315 * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change. It
316 caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
317 importing bindings once in a while.
319 2001-06-03 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
321 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
322 and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
323 (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
324 registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
325 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
326 find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
327 try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
328 try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated. Activate deprecation
330 (define-public): Define binding before exporting it. This is to
331 avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
333 2001-06-02 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
335 * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
336 fix command so that it works.
338 * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
339 to access unbound variables.
341 * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
342 (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
343 export. Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
344 the value over, and export the new variable. This confused
345 syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
347 2001-06-01 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
349 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
350 When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules. Add
351 them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
352 (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
353 (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
354 (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
355 argument for process-define-module.
356 (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
357 arguments for process-use-modules.
358 (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
360 2001-05-25 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
362 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
363 `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
364 Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
367 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
368 * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
369 (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
371 * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.
373 2001-05-23 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
375 * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
377 (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.

382 (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
384 2001-05-22 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
386 * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
387 (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
388 getting the syntax transformer. Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
390 2001-05-21 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
392 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
393 deprecated features have been removed. Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
395 * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
398 2001-05-19 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
400 * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
401 * match.scm: Likewise.
402 * expect.scm: Likewise.
403 * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
405 * rdelim.scm: Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
407 * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
409 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
411 (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
412 (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
413 load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here. Do it on
414 top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
415 (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
416 element list when adding "." to it.
417 (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
418 dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
420 2001-05-18 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
422 * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
424 (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
425 now accepts arg; update callers.
426 Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
427 consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
429 * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
430 Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
431 Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
432 (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
433 `search-documentation-files'.
434 (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
435 instead of `(lambda (x) x)'. "An identity edit", ha ha.
436 (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
438 * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
439 Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.
441 (find-documentation): Delete.
442 (search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
443 (object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.
445 2001-05-15 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
447 * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
448 so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
449 (use-srfis): New procedure.
451 2001-05-15 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
453 * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
454 used module's public interface is not available.

460 Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
462 * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
464 (apropos-fold): Likewise.
466 * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed. We should not play games with
467 the magical undefined value.
468 (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
469 the default default for bindings.
471 * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
472 make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
473 (root-module-closure): Removed.
474 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
475 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder.
476 (scm-module-closure): Removed.
477 (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
478 `pre-modules-obarray'. Do not use a lazy binder. Set the
479 eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
480 (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
481 `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
482 (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
483 towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
484 set-current-module that boots the module system. These
485 definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
486 `set-current-module' call.
487 (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
488 set-current-module. It is redefined later.

510 2001-05-11 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
512 * boot-9.scm: Added `cond-expand' (SRFI-0) for portable feature
515 2001-05-10 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>

522 (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
523 (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
524 (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
525 instead of "defmodule". Factor error into internal proc.

527 Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
528 (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
529 which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
530 (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use
533 2001-05-06 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@revel.glug.org>
535 * q.scm, runq.scm, getopt-long.scm: Update copyright.
536 Surround commentary w/ standard markers; nfc.
538 * expect.scm: Update copyright.
539 Fix commentary typo; nfc.
541 2001-05-05 Rob Browning <rlb@cs.utexas.edu>
543 * psyntax.ss: make sure emacs knows it's scheme code.
545 2001-05-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
547 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Change error message to say
548 `use-syntax' rather than `use-modules'.

859 * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure): Remove
860 calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'. Formerly, these calls were
861 basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
862 After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
863 '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
864 binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table. Thanks to Dale P. Smith
865 for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
867 2000-12-13 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

884 * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
886 2000-11-28 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
888 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
889 (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
890 match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
891 (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,

912 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
913 and open-output-pipe.
915 2000-11-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
917 * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
918 close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
919 it causes port buffers to be flushed. they may be flushed again
920 in the parent, causing duplicate output. use a more elaborate
921 method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
922 Pirotte for the bug report).
923 standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
924 are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
926 2000-10-10 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
928 * syncase.scm (eval): string=? requires a string argument.

949 according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
950 snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
952 * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
953 friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
954 matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
955 entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
956 actual documentation entries themselves.
958 2000-09-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

1024 `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'. This is
1025 completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1026 2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
1027 (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

1152 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
1153 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
1156 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
1158 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
1160 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1162 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
1163 (write-all): Removed.
1164 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
1165 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
1167 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
1169 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
1170 `proc-documentation'
1172 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
1173 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
1174 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
1175 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
1176 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
1177 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
1178 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
1181 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1183 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
1185 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1187 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
1188 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
1189 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
1192 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1194 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
1195 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
1196 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
1197 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
1198 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
1199 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
1200 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
1202 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1204 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
1205 accept complex numbers as parameter.
1207 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1209 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
1210 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
1212 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1214 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
1215 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
1216 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
1217 instead of remove-if when iterating.
1218 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
1219 delete-if! when iterating.
1221 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1223 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
1225 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1227 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
1229 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1231 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
1232 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
1233 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
1234 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
1236 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1238 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
1239 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
1241 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1243 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
1244 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
1245 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
1246 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
1248 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1250 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
1251 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
1253 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1255 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
1256 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
1258 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1260 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
1263 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1265 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
1266 source of the numerous very short changes.
1268 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1270 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
1273 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
1276 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1278 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
1281 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1283 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
1284 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
1286 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1288 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
1291 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
1293 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
1294 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
1295 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
1297 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1299 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
1300 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
1301 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
1302 Narazaki for this change.
1304 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1306 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
1307 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
1310 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
1311 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
1313 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1315 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
1316 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
1318 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1320 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
1321 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
1322 use define-public to export from the module.
1324 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1326 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
1327 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
1328 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
1330 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1332 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
1334 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
1336 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
1337 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
1339 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1341 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
1343 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
1345 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
1347 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1349 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
1350 long_long uniform vectors.
1352 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1354 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
1355 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
1357 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1359 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
1360 script to create generated files like this one.
1362 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
1364 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
1365 available before using getpw and getuid.
1366 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
1367 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
1369 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
1370 check for .guile, instead of stat.
1371 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
1373 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
1374 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
1375 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
1377 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
1378 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
1380 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
1382 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1384 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
1385 than 'exit-debugger.
1387 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
1388 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
1390 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
1392 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1394 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
1395 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
1396 ("position"): New command.
1397 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
1398 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
1399 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
1400 to return a valid state.)
1401 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
1403 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1405 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
1406 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
1409 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1411 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
1412 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
1414 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1416 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
1418 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
1420 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
1421 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
1423 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
1424 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
1425 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
1427 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
1430 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1432 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
1433 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
1435 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
1437 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1439 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
1440 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
1441 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
1442 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
1444 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
1447 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
1448 both forward and backward views of the stack
1449 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
1450 Use selector `frame-number';
1451 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
1452 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
1454 Use readline conditionally.
1456 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1458 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
1459 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
1460 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
1462 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
1463 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
1466 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1468 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
1470 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
1472 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
1474 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1476 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1478 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
1479 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
1480 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
1481 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
1482 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
1483 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
1484 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
1485 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
1486 libguile-config-stamp.
1487 * version.scm.in: Delete.
1488 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
1489 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
1490 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
1491 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
1493 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1495 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
1496 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
1497 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
1499 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
1500 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
1501 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
1502 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
1505 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
1507 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
1509 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
1511 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1513 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
1514 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
1516 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
1518 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
1519 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
1520 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
1521 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
1522 objects starting with '#/'.
1524 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
1526 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
1527 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
1528 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
1529 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
1530 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
1531 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
1533 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
1534 module-modified): New procedures.
1535 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
1536 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
1538 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1540 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
1543 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1545 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
1546 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
1547 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1549 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
1552 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1554 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
1555 at multiple calls to read.
1556 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
1557 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
1558 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
1559 continued-lines prompt.
1561 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
1562 reading expressions.
1564 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1566 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
1567 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1569 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1571 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1572 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
1575 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1577 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
1578 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
1580 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
1581 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
1582 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
1583 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
1584 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
1587 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1589 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
1590 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1592 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
1594 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
1595 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
1596 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
1597 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
1599 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
1601 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1603 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
1604 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
1605 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
1608 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1610 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
1611 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
1612 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
1613 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
1614 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
1615 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1616 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
1617 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
1618 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
1619 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
1620 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
1622 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1624 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
1625 peeked from the stream.
1626 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
1627 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
1628 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
1630 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1632 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
1633 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
1635 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1637 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
1638 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
1639 exiting repl with single control-D.
1641 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
1643 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
1644 error catching loop after quit received.
1645 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
1647 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
1648 primitive exit if non-interactive.
1649 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
1651 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
1652 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
1654 * popen.scm: new file.
1656 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1658 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
1659 (reverse-iota): removed.
1661 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
1663 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
1664 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
1666 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1668 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
1669 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
1670 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
1671 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1672 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
1674 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1676 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
1678 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
1679 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1681 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
1682 Guile's module system.
1684 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
1686 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
1687 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
1688 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
1689 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
1690 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
1691 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
1693 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
1694 '() when the condition is false.
1696 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1698 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1700 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1702 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
1704 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1706 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
1707 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
1708 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
1710 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1712 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
1713 argument order for hash-fold.
1715 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1717 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
1719 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
1720 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
1722 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
1723 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
1724 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
1725 has been added to the load path).
1727 Use try-load-module.
1729 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1731 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
1732 module between system and user state.
1734 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1736 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
1738 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
1741 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1743 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
1744 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
1745 system can create a wrapper class for it.
1747 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1749 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
1750 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
1751 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
1752 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
1753 stack frame encountered.
1755 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
1756 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
1757 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
1758 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
1761 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
1762 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
1763 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
1764 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
1767 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
1768 define-module switches:
1770 (define-module (foo)
1773 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
1776 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
1777 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
1778 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
1779 module it is a system frame.
1781 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
1782 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
1783 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
1784 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
1785 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
1787 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
1788 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
1789 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
1790 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
1791 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
1792 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
1794 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
1795 status of a module.;
1796 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
1797 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
1799 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
1800 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
1801 closure to the module.
1803 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
1805 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1807 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
1809 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1811 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
1813 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1815 Fix from Russ McManus:
1816 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
1817 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
1818 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
1819 either an optional or required value.
1821 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
1823 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
1825 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
1826 of the '() key, not `rest'.
1828 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
1829 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
1830 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
1831 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1833 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
1835 * optargs.scm: New file.
1836 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
1837 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
1839 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1841 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
1842 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
1843 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1845 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1847 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
1848 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
1851 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1853 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1855 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1857 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
1858 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
1859 applied to the module itself.
1861 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1863 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
1865 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
1866 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
1868 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1870 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
1872 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1874 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
1876 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1878 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
1879 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
1881 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1883 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
1884 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
1885 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
1886 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
1887 among BINDINGS is referenced.
1888 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
1889 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
1891 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1893 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
1894 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
1896 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
1898 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
1899 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
1902 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1904 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
1906 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1908 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
1910 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1912 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
1913 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
1914 adapt to the new hooks.
1916 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1918 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
1919 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
1920 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
1922 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
1923 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
1925 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
1926 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
1927 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
1928 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
1929 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
1930 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
1931 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
1932 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
1933 first to register linked modules.
1935 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
1936 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
1937 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
1939 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
1940 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
1941 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
1942 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
1944 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
1946 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
1949 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
1950 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
1951 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
1953 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1955 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
1956 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
1957 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
1959 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1961 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
1962 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
1963 result of the last form.
1965 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1967 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
1970 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
1972 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
1973 readline-set!: New options interface.
1975 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
1977 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1979 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
1980 at the end of boot-9.scm.
1982 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1984 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
1985 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1987 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1989 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
1990 interactive session.
1991 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
1993 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
1994 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
1996 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1998 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
2000 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2002 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2003 read line was empty.
2005 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2007 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2008 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2010 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2012 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2014 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2015 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2016 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2018 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2019 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2021 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2022 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2023 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2025 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2026 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2027 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
2028 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2029 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2030 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2032 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2034 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2035 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2037 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2039 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2040 and short vectors #h(...).
2042 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2044 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
2045 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
2046 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
2048 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2050 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
2051 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
2052 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
2054 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2056 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
2057 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
2059 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
2060 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
2061 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
2062 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
2064 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2066 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
2069 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
2070 order to allow the empty list as arg.
2071 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
2072 context with traps enabled.
2074 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2076 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
2078 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
2080 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2082 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
2083 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
2084 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
2085 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
2086 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
2088 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2090 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
2091 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
2093 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2095 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
2097 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2099 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
2101 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2103 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
2105 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2107 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
2108 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
2110 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2112 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
2113 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
2114 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
2115 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
2118 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
2119 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
2120 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
2122 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2124 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
2125 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
2126 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
2127 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
2128 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
2129 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
2130 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2132 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2134 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
2136 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2138 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
2139 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
2140 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
2141 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
2142 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
2143 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
2145 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2147 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
2148 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
2149 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
2152 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2154 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
2156 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2158 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
2160 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2162 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
2165 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2167 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
2169 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2171 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
2172 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
2174 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2176 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
2177 similar in use to `use-modules'.
2178 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
2179 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
2181 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
2182 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
2184 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2186 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
2188 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2190 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
2191 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
2194 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
2195 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
2197 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
2198 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
2199 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
2201 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
2203 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2205 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
2207 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
2208 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
2210 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2212 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
2214 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2216 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
2217 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
2219 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
2221 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
2224 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2226 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
2227 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
2229 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2231 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
2233 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2235 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
2238 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2240 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
2241 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
2242 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
2243 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
2244 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
2247 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2249 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
2250 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
2251 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
2253 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2255 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
2257 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
2258 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
2260 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2262 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
2263 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
2264 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
2265 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
2266 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
2267 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
2268 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
2271 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2273 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
2276 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
2278 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
2279 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
2280 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
2281 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
2282 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
2283 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
2285 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2287 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
2288 usefully so they will work from a script.
2290 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2292 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
2293 neighborhood of the record code.
2295 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2297 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
2298 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
2299 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
2300 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
2302 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2304 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
2305 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
2306 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2308 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2310 Add support for readline function.
2311 * readline.scm: New module.
2312 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
2313 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
2314 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
2316 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
2317 repl-reader to use them.
2318 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
2320 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
2322 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2324 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2325 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
2327 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2329 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
2330 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
2331 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
2333 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2335 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
2336 #f, abort terminates the process.
2337 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
2338 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
2340 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2342 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
2343 print-state, throw it away.
2345 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2347 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
2350 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
2352 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
2353 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
2354 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
2355 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
2357 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
2358 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
2360 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2362 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
2364 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2366 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
2367 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
2368 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
2369 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
2370 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
2372 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
2373 distribution and installation.
2374 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2376 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2378 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
2380 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2382 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
2383 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
2384 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
2386 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
2387 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
2390 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2392 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
2394 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
2396 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2398 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
2399 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
2400 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
2401 field a separate argument.
2403 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
2405 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2407 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
2409 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
2413 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2415 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
2417 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2419 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
2420 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
2421 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
2422 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
2423 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
2424 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
2426 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
2427 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
2428 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
2429 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
2430 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
2433 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2435 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

2439 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
2440 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
2442 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2444 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
2446 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
2447 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
2448 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
2449 expansion inside the slib module.
2451 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
2453 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
2454 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

2459 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
2461 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
2462 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
2463 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
2465 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
2466 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
2469 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
2471 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
2472 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
2474 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
2476 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
2477 (make-module): Modified initialization.
2478 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
2479 mutator for module-associated transformer.
2480 (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
2481 `scm:eval-transformer'.
2482 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
2483 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

2489 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
2491 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
2492 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
2493 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
2494 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
2495 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
2497 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
2498 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
2499 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
2501 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
2502 the syncase interface.
2504 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2506 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
2507 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
2508 workings of the current module system).
2510 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2512 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
2513 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
2516 Tue Sep 2 00:26:42 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2518 * boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
2519 (obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2520 (gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
2522 Mon Sep 1 20:08:32 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2524 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
2525 according to the following priorities:
2526 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
2527 2. bindings from the-scm-module
2529 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
2530 disabling the scheme interpreter.
2531 (new-interpreter): New function.
2533 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
2534 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
2535 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
2537 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2539 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2541 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
2543 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".
2545 Mon Aug 25 22:00:44 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2547 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
2549 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
2551 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2553 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
2554 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
2557 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2559 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
2560 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
2561 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
2562 symbols matching regexp.
2564 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
2565 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
2568 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
2569 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
2570 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
2571 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
2572 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
2574 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
2575 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
2577 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2579 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

2582 * syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
2583 procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.

2587 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2589 * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
2590 macros. Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
2591 Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
2593 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
2595 * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
2596 * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by
2597 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
2599 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2601 * session.scm: New file: Session support.
2602 (apropos): New procedure: List bindings given regexp.
2604 Sat Aug 16 18:44:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2606 * boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
2609 Thu Aug 14 19:55:37 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2611 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
2612 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
2613 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
2615 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
2616 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
2619 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
2620 order to narrow it correctly.
2621 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

2625 * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
2626 (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
2628 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2630 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
2632 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2634 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
2635 builtin `with-fluids*'.
2637 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2639 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
2640 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
2641 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
2643 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

2656 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2658 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
2659 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
2662 * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
2664 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2666 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
2667 poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
2668 notation, instead of #/ notation.
2670 * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to

2675 Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
2676 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
2677 (parse-path-symbol): Deleted. Replaced by above.
2678 Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
2679 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
2680 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
2682 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
2683 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
2684 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
2685 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
2687 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2689 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
2690 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
2691 sending in bug reports.
2692 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
2693 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
2694 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
2695 display a warning if the two are different.
2696 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
2697 Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
2698 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2700 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2702 * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.

2706 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
2707 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
2709 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
2710 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
2711 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
2712 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
2713 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
2714 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
2717 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
2718 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
2721 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
2722 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
2724 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
2727 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
2730 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
2732 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
2735 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2737 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
2738 vtable and not the one of the struct.
2740 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2742 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
2743 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
2744 to support printing of structures.
2745 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
2746 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
2747 commented out printing code.
2748 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
2749 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
2751 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2753 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
2755 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2757 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
2758 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
2759 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
2760 during call to scm-style-repl.
2762 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2764 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
2765 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
2766 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
2767 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
2768 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
2770 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2772 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
2773 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
2776 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
2778 * regex.scm: New file.
2779 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
2780 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2782 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2784 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
2785 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
2786 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
2787 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
2789 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2791 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
2794 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2796 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
2797 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
2798 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
2800 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2802 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
2803 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
2806 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2808 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2810 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2812 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
2814 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2816 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
2817 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
2820 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2822 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
2823 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
2824 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
2826 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2828 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
2829 the Scheme code like code yet.
2830 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
2832 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2834 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
2835 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
2836 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
2838 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2840 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
2842 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
2845 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2847 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
2849 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2851 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
2853 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
2854 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
2855 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
2857 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2859 Get 'make dist' to work again.
2860 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
2861 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
2863 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
2865 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
2866 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2868 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2870 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
2873 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2875 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
2877 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2879 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
2880 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
2882 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2884 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
2885 instead of in libguile.
2886 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
2887 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
2889 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2891 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
2893 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
2894 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
2896 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2898 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
2899 sockaddr:port): new functions.
2901 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2903 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
2904 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
2905 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
2906 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
2908 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2910 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
2911 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
2913 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2915 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
2917 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2919 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
2920 keywords and symbols.
2922 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2924 * slib.scm: update read usage.
2926 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
2927 Don't define read-sharp.
2929 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
2930 (read-sharp): removed.
2931 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
2932 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
2934 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2936 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
2938 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
2939 primitive procedure.)
2941 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
2942 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
2944 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2946 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
2948 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2950 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
2952 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2954 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
2956 * (exit): alias for quit.
2958 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2960 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
2961 return the quit args.
2962 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
2963 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
2964 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
2966 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
2968 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2970 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
2972 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
2973 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
2975 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
2976 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
2978 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
2979 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
2982 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2984 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
2986 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
2987 (add-hooks!): New macro.
2988 Change hooks to use these functions.
2990 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
2991 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
2992 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
2994 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
2995 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
2996 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
2997 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
2998 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
2999 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3000 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3003 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3004 and exit-frame exceptions.
3006 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3007 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3008 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3009 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3010 result; otherwise display "> ".
3011 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3013 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3014 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3015 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
3016 repository version runnable.
3018 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3020 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3021 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
3022 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3023 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3024 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3025 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3027 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3029 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3030 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3032 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3034 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3035 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
3037 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3039 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3041 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3043 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
3046 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3048 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
3049 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
3051 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3053 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
3056 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3058 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
3059 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
3061 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3063 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
3065 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
3066 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
3067 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
3068 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
3069 dynamic linking of modules.
3070 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
3071 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
3073 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3075 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
3077 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3079 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
3082 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
3083 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
3086 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3088 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
3089 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
3090 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
3092 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3094 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
3095 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
3098 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3100 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
3101 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
3102 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
3104 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3106 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
3107 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
3108 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
3109 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
3111 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
3112 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
3113 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
3114 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
3115 (such as the-scm-module).
3117 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3119 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
3122 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
3124 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
3125 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
3126 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
3128 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3130 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
3131 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
3132 function, use it accordingly.
3134 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3136 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
3137 function of no arguments.
3138 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
3139 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
3140 set-current-module): Uses changed.
3141 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
3142 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
3143 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
3144 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
3145 *top-level-eval-closure*.
3147 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3149 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
3150 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
3152 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3154 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3155 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
3156 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
3157 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
3158 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
3160 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
3163 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
3164 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
3165 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
3166 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
3168 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
3170 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
3172 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
3173 If the user wants to see this, he can do
3174 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
3176 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
3179 Added `before-read-hook'.
3181 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
3183 (provide): New function.
3185 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
3188 (backtrace): New function.
3190 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
3191 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
3192 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
3193 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
3194 is found in operator position in a frame.
3196 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
3199 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
3200 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
3201 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
3203 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
3205 (library-vicinity): Updated.
3207 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
3209 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
3211 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3213 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
3215 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
3216 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
3218 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
3219 so they'll get distributed.
3221 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
3222 should see as little clutter as possible.
3223 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
3224 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
3225 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
3227 * r4rs.scm: New file.
3228 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
3229 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
3230 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
3231 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,

3235 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
3236 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
3238 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
3239 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
3241 * test.scm: New file.
3243 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
3244 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
3245 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
3247 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
3248 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
3250 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
3252 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
3253 call %load-announce.
3255 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3257 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
3258 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
3259 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
3261 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
3263 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3265 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
3266 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
3267 SCSH (which this isn't).
3269 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3271 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3273 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3275 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
3276 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
3277 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
3279 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
3280 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
3281 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
3282 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
3285 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3287 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
3289 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
3291 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
3292 error-catching-loop.
3293 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
3294 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
3295 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
3297 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
3298 error-catching-loop.
3300 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3302 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
3303 (make-module): Rework for readability.
3304 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
3305 should be '(), not #f.
3307 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
3308 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
3310 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3312 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
3313 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
3316 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3318 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
3319 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
3320 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
3321 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
3323 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3325 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
3327 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3329 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
3331 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
3332 throw-handler-default.
3333 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
3335 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
3337 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
3338 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
3340 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3342 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
3343 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
3344 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
3345 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
3347 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3349 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
3350 Append "." to the default %load-path.
3351 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
3352 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
3354 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
3355 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
3356 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
3357 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
3360 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3362 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
3364 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
3367 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
3370 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
3372 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3374 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
3375 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
3377 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3379 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
3381 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
3383 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3385 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
3386 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
3387 Don't set up 'error as a key.
3388 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
3389 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
3391 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
3392 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
3393 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
3394 they seem redundant.
3395 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
3396 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
3397 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
3398 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
3399 directly files starting with "/").
3400 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
3401 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
3403 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
3405 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3407 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
3408 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
3409 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
3410 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
3411 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
3412 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
3413 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
3414 robust to just do it in the C code.
3416 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3418 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
3419 %try-load itself was the primitive.
3420 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
3421 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
3422 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
3424 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
3426 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
3427 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
3428 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
3430 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3432 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
3433 system-error, not every kind of error.
3434 (scm-error): new procedure.
3436 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3438 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
3440 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3442 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
3443 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
3444 of args are supplied.
3445 (%%system-errors): removed.
3446 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
3447 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
3448 %%handle-system-error.
3449 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
3450 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
3451 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
3452 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
3454 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3456 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
3457 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
3458 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
3459 %S (embed an argument using "write").
3461 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3463 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
3464 the empty list if they are #f.
3465 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
3467 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3469 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
3471 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
3472 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
3473 aborting, just the key and subr.
3474 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
3475 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
3476 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
3478 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3480 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
3481 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
3482 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
3483 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
3484 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
3486 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3488 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
3489 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
3490 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
3491 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
3493 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3495 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
3496 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
3497 initialize %load-path.
3499 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
3500 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
3502 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3504 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
3505 Add the directory named after the version number.
3506 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
3507 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
3508 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
3509 sitedatadir): New definitions.
3510 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
3511 (install): Create the above directories.
3512 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
3513 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
3515 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3517 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
3518 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
3519 in the Makefile directly.
3520 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
3522 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
3524 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
3525 here, where people expect to find them.
3527 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3529 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
3530 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
3532 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
3534 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3536 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
3537 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
3539 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
3541 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
3542 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
3544 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
3545 weak-key-hash-table.
3547 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3549 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
3550 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
3551 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
3552 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
3553 (%open-file): removed.
3554 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
3555 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
3557 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3559 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
3560 (manifest): Deleted.
3561 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
3562 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
3564 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3566 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
3567 now that they throw errors directly.
3568 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
3569 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
3571 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3573 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
3575 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
3577 * The more things change...
