        value info to the docstrings.

2001-07-03  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        Some more compatibility patches for Windows.

        * posix.c (getlogin): getlogin() implementation for Windows.

        * backtrace.c, ioext.c: Include <stdio.h>.

        * unif.c, script.c, rw.c, error.c: Include <io.h>, if it does
        exist.

        * cpp_sig_symbols.in: Added SIGBREAK.

2001-07-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * strports.c (scm_read_0str, scm_eval_0str): Call
        scm_c_read_string and scm_c_eval_string respectively, not
        themselves.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x):  The variable args does not
        necessarily have to be a list.  Further, got rid of a redundant
        SCM_NIMP test.

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * list.c (SCM_I_CONS):  Make sure the cell type is initialized
        last.

        * gc.c (s_scm_map_free_list, scm_igc, scm_gc_sweep,
        init_heap_seg): Fixed signedness.

        (init_heap_seg):  Replaced strange for-loop with a while loop.

        * weaks.h (WEAKSH, SCM_WEAKS_H):  Rename <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

        (SCM_WVECTP):  Prefer !SCM_<pred> over SCM_N<pred>.

        The following patch adds conservative marking for the elements of
        free or allocated cells.

        * gc.c (allocated_mark, heap_segment):  New static functions.

        (which_seg):  Deleted, since the functionality is now provided by
        function heap_segment.

        (map_free_list):  Use heap_segment instead of which_seg.

        (MARK):  If cell debugging is disabled, mark free cells
        conservatively.

        (scm_mark_locations, scm_cellp):  Extracted the search for the
        heap segment of a SCM value into function heap_segment.

        (scm_init_storage):  Allocated cells must be marked
        conservatively.

        * gc.[ch] (scm_gc_mark_cell_conservatively):  New function.

        The following patch changes the representation of weak vectors to
        double cells instead of using an extension of the vector's
        allocated memory.

        * gc.c (MARK):  Use SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN instead of assigning to
        the result of SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN.

        (scm_gc_sweep):  Weak vectors don't have extra fields any more.

        * weaks.c (allocate_weak_vector):  New static function.  It does
        not patch any previously created vector object during the
        construction of a weak vector, and thus doesn't need to switch
        off interrupts during vector creation.

        (scm_make_weak_vector, scm_make_weak_key_hash_table,
        scm_make_weak_value_hash_table, scm_make_doubly_weak_hash_table):
        Use allocate_weak_vector to provide the new weak vector object.

        * weaks.h (SCM_WVECT_TYPE, SCM_SET_WVECT_TYPE,
        SCM_SET_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  New macros.  The weak vector subtype is
        now stored in the double cell.

        (SCM_IS_WHVEC, SCM_IS_WHVEC_V, SCM_IS_WHVEC_B, SCM_IS_WHVEC_ANY):
        Use SCM_WVECT_TYPE.

        (SCM_WVECT_GC_CHAIN):  The weak objects are now chained together
        using an entry of the double cell.

2001-06-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

        * stamp-h.in: bye bye

2001-06-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * gh_eval.c (gh_eval_str): Use scm_c_eval_string instead of
        scm_eval_0str.

        * load.c, load.h (scm_c_primitive_load,
        scm_c_primitive_load_path): New.

        * strports.c, strports.h (scm_c_read_string): Renamed from
        scm_read_0str.  Also, added "const" qualifier to argument.
        (scm_c_eval_string): Renamed from scm_eval_0str.
        (scm_read_0str, scm_eval_0str): Deprecated.

2001-06-28  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * fluids.c (scm_c_with_fluid): Use scm_list_1() instead of

        scm_list_n): New functions.
        (SCM_LIST0, SCM_LIST1, SCM_LIST2, SCM_LIST3, SCM_LIST4, SCM_LIST5,
        SCM_LIST6, SCM_LIST7, SCM_LIST8, SCM_LIST9, scm_listify): Deprecated.
        (lots of files): Use the new functions.

        * goops.c (CALL_GF1, CALL_GF2, CALL_GF3, CALL_GF4): Use scm_call_N.

        * strings.c: #include "libguile/deprecation.h".

2001-06-27  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * read.c (scm_lreadr): When reading a hash token, check for a
        user-defined hash procedure first, so that overriding the builtin
        hash characters is possible (this was needed for implementing
        SRFI-4's read synax `f32(...)').

        * num2integral.i.c: Use scm_t_signed_bits instead of scm_t_bits,
        because the latter is unsigned now and breaks comparisons like
        (n < (scm_t_signed_bits)MIN_VALUE).

2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * eval.h, eval.c (scm_call_4): New function.

        * eval.c (SCM_APPLY, SCM_CEVAL, ENTER_APPLY): Call trap handlers
        directly rather than dispatching to them via scm_ithrow and a lazy
        catch.

        * eval.c (scm_evaluator_trap_table), eval.h (SCM_ENTER_FRAME_HDLR,
        SCM_APPLY_FRAME_HDLR, SCM_EXIT_FRAME_HDLR): Add three new options
        for trap handler procedures.

        * debug.h (SCM_RESET_DEBUG_MODE): Add checks for trap handler
        procedures not being #f.

2001-06-27  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * Makefile.am (c-tokenize.c): add rule to generate it.
        (EXTRA_DIST): add c-tokenize.lex, so it gets distributed.

        filter-doc-snarfage.c: remove.

2001-06-26  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * ports.c (scm_output_port_p): Use result of SCM_COERCE_OUTPORT.

        The following set of changes makes compiling Guile under various
        Windows compilers easier.  Compilation under GNU systems should
        not be affected at all.

        Thanks to Stefan Jahn for all necessary information, patches and
        testing.

        * posix.c: Conditialize getpwent, getgrent, kill, getppid, getuid,
        getpgrp, ttyname, primitive-fork and some header inclusion for

        * guile.c (inner_main): Under Windows, initialize socket library
        and initialize gdb_interface data structures.

        * gdb_interface.h: Under Windows, gdb_interface cannot be
        initialized statically.  Initialize at runtime instead.

        * fports.c (write_all): ssize_t -> size_t.
        (fport_print): Conditionalize call to ttyname().
        (getflags): New function, compiled only under Windows.

        SCM_<foo>_H.

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY):  Eliminate

        solution is to define this macro as an inline function, thus
        allowing to specifiy the types of c_start and c_end.

        * goops.h (SCM_ACCESSORS_OF, SCM_SLOT):  Return a SCM value.

        * goops.h (GOOPSH, SCM_GOOPS_H), modules.h (MODULESH,
        SCM_MODULES_H), objects.h (OBJECTSH, SCM_OBJECTS_H), struct.h
        (STRUCTH, SCM_STRUCT_H), symbols.h (SYMBOLSH, SCM_SYMBOLS_H),
        __scm.h (__SCMH, SCM___SCM_H):  Change <foo>H to SCM_<foo>_H.

        * modules.[ch] (scm_module_tag):  Make it a scm_bits_t value.

        * objects.h (SCM_SET_CLASS_INSTANCE_SIZE):  Fixed typing.

        * ramap.c (ramap_rp):  Removed bogus `;´.

        * sort.c (scm_restricted_vector_sort_x):  Fixed signedness
        problem.

        * symbols.h (SCM_PROP_SLOTS, SCM_SET_PROP_SLOTS, SCM_SYMBOL_FUNC,
        SCM_SET_SYMBOL_FUNC, SCM_SYMBOL_PROPS, SCM_SET_SYMBOL_PROPS):
        Read SCM objects rather than scm_bits_t values.

        * tags.h (SCM_VOIDP_TEST):  Removed.

        (SCM_DEBUG_TYPING_STRICTNESS):  Now takes values 0, 1, 2.  The
        value of 2 now corresponds to the former 1, the current 1
        corresponds to the former situation that SCM_VOIDP_TEST was
        defined.

        (SCM):  Now defined as typedef struct scm_unused_struct * SCM;
        If this appears to be not ANSI compliant, we will change it to
        typedef struct scm_unused_struct { } * SCM;
        Thanks to Han-Wen Nienhuys for the suggestion.

        * unif.c (scm_array_set_x):  Fix typing problem, and use
        SCM_UVECTOR_BASE instead of SCM_VELTS or SCM_CELL_WORD_1 when
        dealing with uniform vectors.

        scm_sys_protects.

        * hooks.c (scm_create_hook): call `scm_gc_protect_object' instead
        `scm_protect_object'.  shouldn't call it at all, though, it seems.

        * gc.c (scm_[un]protect_object): deprecated.

        Prototypes removed since there's no definition for these
        functions.

        * unif.c (scm_make_ra, array_free), unif.h (SCM_ARRAY_DIMS):
        Changed use of scm_array->scm_array_t and

        --disable-deprecated.

2001-05-24  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        The purpose of this set of changes is to regularize Guile's usage
        of ANSI C integral types, with the following ideas in mind:

        - SCM does not nesessarily have to be long.
        - long is not nesessarily enough to store pointers.
        - long is not nesessarily the same size as int.

        The changes are incomplete and possibly buggy.  Please test on
        something exotic.

        being long and starting being scm_[u]bits_t instead.
        scm_mallocated should no longer wrap around.

        * fports.h: type renaming:
        scm_fport -> scm_fport_t
        the old name is deprecated, all in-Guile uses changed.

        bits move somewhere else.

        * eval.c: changed the locals used to store results of SCM_IFRAME,

        (scm_port_t.putback_buf_size): int -> size_t.

        * __scm.h (long_long, ulong_long): deprecated (they pollute the
        global namespace and have little value beside that).
        (SCM_BITS_LENGTH): new, is the bit size of scm_bits_t (i.e. of an
        SCM handle).
        (ifdef spaghetti): include sys/types.h and sys/stdtypes.h, if they

        * procs.c (scm_make_subr_with_generic): Add missing last argument

        scm_c_make_gsubr_with_generic, scm_c_define_gsubr_with_generic):
        New functions.  They replace scm_make_gsubr and
        scm_make_gsubr_with_generic.  The `make' variants only create the
        gsubr object, while the `define' variants also put it into the
        current module.  Changed all callers.
        (scm_make_gsubr, scm_make_gsubr_with_generic): Deprecated.

        * procs.h, procs.c (scm_c_make_subr, scm_c_define_subr,

        subr object, while the `define' variants also put it into the

        Deprecated.

2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * throw.c: Lazy-catch handlers are no longer allowed to return.
        Fixed comments throughout.
        (scm_ithrow): Signal an error when a lazy-catch handler returns.
        Moved actual jump to jmpbuf into if-branch where the jmpbuf is
        recognized as such.

        * version.c (s_scm_micro_version): Fix typo in FUNC_NAME, it
        refered to s_scm_minor_version previously.

        deprecated features appear at the bottom.

        scm_c_call_with_current_module, scm_c_define_module,
        scm_c_use_module, scm_c_export): New.
        (the_root_module): New static variant of scm_the_root_module.  Use
        it everywhere instead of scm_the_root_module.

        * fluids.h, fluids.c (scm_internal_with_fluids): Deprecated.
        (scm_c_with_fluids): Renamed from scm_internal_with_fluids.
        (scm_c_with_fluid): New.

        * rdelim.h, rdelim.c: (scm_init_rdelim_builtins): Renamed from
        scm_init_rdelim.  Do not explicitly create/switch modules.

        Merged from mvo-vcell-cleanup-1-branch.

        The concept of vcells has been removed from Guile.  With it,
        explicit obarrays and associated operations are gone.  Use
        hashtables instead of obarrays.

        Throughout: use scm_sym2var instead of scm_sym2vcell and treat
        result as variable instead of vcell.  Glocs no longer point to a
        vcell but to a variable.  Use scm_c_define instead of
        scm_sysintern and treat the result as a variable (which it is),
        not a vcell.

        * variable.c, variable.h (SCM_VARVCELL, SCM_UDVARIABLEP,
        SCM_DEFVARIABLEP): Deprecated.

        error in that case.
        (scm_builtin_variable): Deprecated.

        * symbols.c, symbols.h (scm_sym2vcell, scm_sym2ovcell_soft,
        scm_sym2ovcell, scm_intern_obarray_soft, scm_intern_obarray,
        scm_intern, scm_intern0, scm_sysintern0_no_module_lookup,

        hooks.c, load.c, numbers.c, objects.c, ports.c, posix.c, procs.c,

        uses.
        (scm_module_lookup_closure): Deal with the module being SCM_BOOL_F
        and return SCM_BOOL_F in that case.

        * init.c (scm_load_startup_files): Do not call
        scm_post_boot_init_modules.  This is done by
        scm_set_current_module now.
        (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_modules_prehistory.  Call
        scm_init_variable early on.

        * goops.c (s_scm_sys_goops_loaded): Get
        var_compute_applicable_methods from scm_sym2var, not from a direct
        invocation of scm_goops_lookup_closure.

        * gh_funcs.c (gh_define): Return SCM_UNSPECIFIED instead of vcell.

        * gc.c: Added simple debugging hack to mark phase of GC: When

        (scm_unmemocopy): Removed thoughts about anti-macro interface.
        (scm_eval_args): Use more explicit code in the gloc branch of the

        remember the symbol instead.  Added some comments where
        scm_tc3_cons_gloc really exclusively refers to structs.
        (scm_init_eval): Use scm_define to initialize "nil" and "t" to
        scm_lisp_nil and scm_lisp_t, respectively.  Use scm_define instead

        * dynwind.c (scm_swap_bindings): Use SCM_GLOC_SET_VAL instead of
        explicit magic.

        (s_scm_gloc_p): Use `scm_tc3_cons_gloc' instead of the magic `1'.
        (scm_init_debug): Use scm_c_define instead scm_sysintern.

        * gc.h (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Prefer SCM_NULLP over
        SCM_IMP, as in scm_debug_newcell and scm_debug_newcell2.

        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1):  Reordered some initializations and
        added dependcy information comments.

        * eval.c (scm_i_eval): Copy expression before passing it to

        SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.  It's purpose is, to never
        let cells with a free_cell type tag be visible outside of the
        garbage collector when in debug mode.

        * gc.c (scm_debug_cell_accesses_p):  Set to true as default.

        (scm_assert_cell_valid):  Use a local static variable to avoid
        recursion.

        (MARK):  Only check for rogue cell pointers in debug mode.  Use
        scm_cellp for this purpose and place all checks for rogue pointers
        into that function.  Further, since due to conservative scanning
        we may encounter free cells during marking, don't use the standard
        cell type accessor macro to determine the cell type.

        (scm_cellp):  Check if the cell pointer actually points into a
        card header.

        (scm_init_gc):  Initalize scm_tc16_allocated.

        * gc.h (GCH):  Renamed to SCM_GC_H.

        (SCM_VALIDATE_CELL):  Enclose the expression in brackets.  This
        might be unnecessary, but I feel better this way :-)

        (SCM_GC_CELL_TYPE):  New macro.

        (SCM_SETAND_CDR, SCM_SETOR_CDR):  Deprecated.  These are not used
        in guile, and it is unlikely that they will be applied to real
        pairs anyway.

        (SCM_SET_FREE_CELL_TYPE):  Removed.  It was not used.

        (SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED):  New macro.  Only non-empty if guile is
        compiled with SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES set to true.

        (SCM_NEWCELL, SCM_NEWCELL2):  Use of SCM_GC_SET_ALLOCATED will
        make sure that in debug mode no free cell will ever be visible
        outside of the garbage collector.

2001-03-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * eq.c (scm_equal_p), tags.h (SCM_ECONSP):  Use SCM_CONSP instead
        of SCM_SLOPPY_CONSP.  A sane compiler should be able to perform
        the corresponding optimization.

        * eval.c (iqq):  Use proper type check.

        (scm_m_expand_body):  Remove redundant type checks.

        (promise_print):  Don't access promise cells as pairs.

        * eval.c (EVALCAR, iqq, scm_m_expand_body, scm_eval_args,
        scm_deval_args SCM_CEVAL), guardians.c (scm_guard), hashtab.c

        * eval.h (EVALH), macros.h (MACROSH), ports.h (PORTSH), procs.h
        (PROCSH), tags.h (TAGSH), variable.h (VARIABLEH):  Renamed to
        SCM_EVAL_H, SCM_MACROS_H, SCM_PORTS_H, SCM_PROCS_H, SCM_TAGS_H and
        SCM_VARIABLE_H.  Even the macros that are used to inhibit
        including a header file twice should be in the SCM_ namespace.

        * fluids.c (scm_swap_fluids, scm_swap_fluids_reverse),
        properties.c (scm_primitive_property_ref,
        scm_primitive_property_del_x):  Prefer stronger predicates like
        SCM_NULLP or SCM_FALSEP over SCM_IMP.

        * gc.c (MARK):  Use proper macros to access procedure-with-setter
        cell elements and closure cell elements.

        access free cells as pairs.

        (scm_unprotect_object):  scm_hashq_get_handle returns #f if
        no hashtab entry is found.

        * gc.c (scm_gc_sweep), ports.c (scm_close_port):  Use new macro
        SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG.

        * guardians.c (TCONC_IN), print.c (scm_free_print_state):  Don't
        use SCM_SET_C[AD]R for uninitialized cells.

        * hashtab.c (scm_hash_fn_get_handle):  Use SCM_VALIDATE_VECTOR.
        If the hashtable has no slots, return #f instead of '().  This
        unifies the return value with most assoc-functions.

        (scm_hash_fn_ref):  Use proper type check.

        (scm_hashq_get_handle, scm_hashv_get_handle, scm_hash_get_handle):
        Removed references to non-existing functions from documentation.

        * keywords.c (scm_keyword_dash_symbol):  Use proper macros to
        access keyword cell elements.

        * macros.h (SCM_MACROP, SCM_MACRO_TYPE, SCM_MACRO_CODE):  New
        macros.

        * ports.h (SCM_CLR_PORT_OPEN_FLAG):  New macro.

        cells as pairs.

        * variable.c (variable_print, variable_equalp, scm_variable_ref,
        scm_variable_set_x):  Use proper macros to access variable cell
        elements.

        (scm_variable_bound_p):  Don't use SCM_NEGATE_BOOL.

        * variable.h (SCM_VARVCELL):  Don't access variable cells as
        pairs.

        * vectors.c (scm_vector), weaks.c (scm_weak_vector):  Simplified,
        added FIXME comment, removed register specifier.

2001-03-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * values.c (values_vtable, scm_values_vtable): Added "scm_" prefix

        including unistd.h with a define of _GNU_SOURCE at the very top of
        the file.

        (scm_sethostname, scm_gethostname): New prototypes.

        (scm_getpriority, scm_setpriority, scm_getpass, scm_flock),
        (scm_sethostname, scm_gethostname): New procedures.

2001-03-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * ports.c (scm_port_column): Docstring fixes: (i) port-line arg is
        not optional (ii) "recommend" spelling correction.

2001-03-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * ramap.c (racp): Removed optimization which caused array copying
        to fail if the two arrays shared storage.  Re-inserted the IVDEP
        macros removed in the change of 2000-03-09.  (Don't really have a
        complete grasp of what they are for, but they seem to be necessary
        on Crays.  This needs testing!)  Thanks to Miroslav Silovic.

        * hash.c (scm_string_hash): Don't downcase characters.

2001-03-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        function.

        * coop-threads.c: Fixed change of 2001-03-06.

2001-03-07  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * Makefile.am (*.x): Add dependency on snarf.h and guile-doc-snarf.in.
        (*.doc): Add dependency on guile-snarf.awk.in.

        * guile-snarf.awk.in: Neglect spaces at the end of
        SCM_SNARF_DOCSTRING_END.  Skip lines "# NN ..." in the
        middle of docstrings.  (To avoid the problem with gcc-2.96.)

2001-03-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        (scm_c_default_rstate), struct.c (scm_make_struct_layout,
        scm_struct_ref, scm_struct_set_x):  Don't use SCM_ASSERT to
        (potentially) issue a scm-misc-error or wrong-num-args error
        message.

        * load.c (scm_search_path):  Use SCM_ASSERT_TYPE to give details
        about the expected type with the wrong-type-arg error message.

        * smob.c (scm_make_smob):  Abort on misuse of smob - it indicates
        a C level bug that can't be fixed from scheme anyway.

2001-03-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * eval.c (scm_m_letstar): Removed check for duplicate bindings.
        Duplicate bindings are OK in a let* since a let* is semantically
        equivalent to a nested set of let:s.

2001-03-05  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * print.c (scm_print_options): Fixed texinfo in docstring.

        * net_db.c (scm_getserv, scm_getproto, scm_getnet): Return #f if
        the underlying functions getservent, getprotoent or getnetent
        return NULL instead of signalling an error.

2001-03-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * socket.c (scm_fill_sockaddr): don't allow buffer overflows when
        taking an unexpectedly large filename for an AF_UNIX socket from
        bind/connect/sendto (thanks to Martin Grabmueller).

        * socket.c (scm_sock_fd_to_port, SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT): removed the
        former and adjusted the latter.
        (scm_socket, scm_socketpair): cosmetic changes.
        (scm_getsockopt, scm_setsockopt): declare optlen as int, not
        size_t as socklen_t substitute.  don't restrict args/return values
        to INUM: allow full range of int or size_t.
        (scm_fill_sockaddr): check arguments before allocating memory, to
        avoid leakage.  use malloc, not scm_must_malloc.
        (scm_connect, scm_bind, scm_sendto): use int, not size_t as socklen_t
        substitute.  free the sockaddr structure before throwing an error.
        (scm_init_add_buffer): procedure removed, together with its static
        buffer scm_addr_buffer, which wouldn't be thread safe.  instead,
        define a macro MAX_ADDR_SIZE and declare the buffer where needed.
        (scm_accept, scm_getpeername, scm_getsockname, scm_recvfrom,
        scm_sendto): use a local buffer instead of scm_addr_buffer.
        adjust for new SCM_SOCK_FD_TO_PORT.  use int for address size,
        not size_t.
        (scm_recvfrom): set addr->sa_family to AF_UNSPEC before the recvfrom
        call to detect whether recvfrom could be bothered to set the address.
        (scm_init_socket): don't call scm_init_addr_buffer.

        scm_array_to_list, scm_array_prototype), validate.h
        (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER_COPY):  Don't call function scm_wta, call
        scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg instead.

        * validate.h (SCM_WTA, RETURN_SCM_WTA):  Deprecated.

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * goops.c, goops.h (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): Removed.

        script_get_backslash, script_read_arg), unif.c (scm_cvref):  Don't
        call function scm_wta, call scm_misc_error or scm_wrong_type_arg
        instead.

2001-03-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

        * goops.c (scm_sys_pre_expand_closure_x): New procedure.

2001-03-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_s_duplicate_formals): New error message string.
        (scm_c_improper_memq): New function.
        (scm_m_lambda): Check for duplicate arguments.
        (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When executing a body: only cons a new
        toplevel environment frame when it is different from the
        existing one; use EVALCAR instead of SIDEVAL so that we can properly
        check for empty combinations; use SCM_EVALIM2 for the same reason
        in the non-toplevel loop.
        (nontoplevel_cdrxnoap, nontoplevel_cdrxbegin, nontoplevel_begin):
        New labels with the meaning of their non-"nontoplevel" partners,
        but they are used when it is known that the body is not evaluated at
        top-level.
        (scm_apply, scm_dapply): use SCM_EVALIM2 to get proper error
        reporting for empty combinations.

        (scm_string_ci_geq_p), symbols.c (scm_symbol_p)
        (scm_symbol_to_string, scm_string_to_symbol): Changed use of @t{}

        * struct.c (scm_struct_p, scm_struct_vtable_p): Added texinfo

2001-02-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * __scm.h (SCM_ASSERT_TYPE):  Add missing macro parameter.
        (Obviously nobody compiles with SCM_RECKLESS defined...)

        typos.

        scm_i_eval.
        (make_class_from_template): Do not bother to set the current
        module around the call to DEFVAR, scm_eval takes care of that.
        (scm_init_goops): Make scm_module_goops and
        scm_goops_lookup_closure permanent objects.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): When evaluating expressions on
        top level, create a fresh top-level environment for each
        expression instead of mutating the exisint frame.  This is
        important when that frame is closed over.

        * numbers.c (s_scm_logior) [SCM_DIGSTOOBIG]: Also use
        SCM_DIGSPERLONG instead of DIGSPERLONG.

2001-02-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Check for wrong number of args

        receiver procedure in call-with-current-continuation.

        macro.  The argument is expanded more than one time.

        SCM_BIGDIG instead of BIGDIG.  Thanks to Steven G. Johnson!

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * gc_os_dep.c: Do not include <linux/version.h>.  It makes no
        sense to compile for a specific kernel version.  Do not include
        <asm/signal.h> while defining __KERNEL__.  This hack should no
        longer be needed and caused problems.

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): use `SIDEVAL' instead of
        SCM_CEVAL when evaluating subforms of `begin' forms.  SCM_CEVAL
        can not deal with immediates.

2001-02-12  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

        * list.c (scm_list_copy): Validate the first argument.

        names to better reflect their meaning.

        * eval.c (scm_ceval, scm_deval): Recognize when `begin' is being
        evaluated at top-level and synronize lookup closure before
        executing every subform.
        (scm_primitve_eval_x, scm_primitive_eval): New functions.
        (scm_eval_x, scm_eval): Reimplement in terms of
        scm_primitive_eval_x and scm_primitive_eval, respectively.

2001-02-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2001-02-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

        * modules.h (scm_selected_module, scm_current_module): Renamed
        scm_selected_module to scm_current_module to synchronize Scheme
        and C names.
        (scm_select_module, scm_set_current_module): Likewise.  Changed
        all uses.

        * ports.c (scm_port_for_each): Make a snapshot of the port table
        before iterating over it.  The table might change while the user
        code is running.  With the snapshot, the user can depend on the
        fact that each port that existed at the start of the iteration is
        encountered exactly once.  (ice-9 popen) depends on this.

2001-02-08  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

        * strings.h (SCM_STRING_MAX_LENGTH):  New macro.

        * strings.c (scm_makstr, scm_take_str, scm_make_string):  Added

        checking of the size parameter for type correctness and valid
        range.  Thanks to Rob Browning for reporting the problem.  Instead
        of deferring interrupts, scm_remember_upto_here_1 is used.

        (scm_big_and):  Fix for negative first parameter.

        (scm_bit_extract):  Fix for fixnum paramters.

        from Matthias Köppe:

        * objects.h (SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER): new macro.  SCM_ENTITY_SETTER
        casts its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.

        * goops.c (s_scm_sys_set_object_setter_x): use
        SCM_SET_ENTITY_SETTER.
        (clear_method_cache): use SCM_SET_ENTITY_PROCEDURE.

        * gc.h (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_BVEC): new macro.  SCM_GC_CARD_BVEC casts
        its result, so doesn't yield an lvalue per ANSI C.
        (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS): ditto for SCM_GC_GET_CARD_FLAGS.
        (SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): redefined in terms of
        SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAGS.
        (SCM_GC_SET_CARD_FLAG, SCM_GC_CLR_CARD_FLAGS): ditto.

        * gc.c (INIT_CARD): use the explicit setter macro to set the bvec.

2001-01-08  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_SUBSTRING_SPEC_COPY): new macro.
        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial, scm_read_delimited_x),
        socket.c (scm_recvfrom): use the new macro, plus minor docstring
        changes.
        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): don't crash if -1 is supplied
        for fdes.  if current input port is used, check that it's a file
        port.

2001-01-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * ioext.c (scm_read_string_x_partial): new procedure, implements
        read-string!/partial.
        * ports.c (scm_take_from_input_buffers): new procedure used by
        scm_read_string_x_partial.
        (scm_drain_input): use scm_take_from_input_buffers.

2001-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

        * validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_NUMBER): New.

2001-01-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

        * guardians.c (F_GREEDY, F_LISTED, F_DESTROYED, GREEDY_P,
        SET_GREEDY, LISTED_P, SET_LISTED, CLR_LISTED, DESTROYED_P,
        SET_DESTROYED): new defines/macros.
        (GUARDIAN_LIVE, GUARDIAN_ZOMBIES, GUARDIAN_NEXT): deleted.
        (add_to_live_list): takes a `guardian_t *' now, not SCM.
        (guardian_print): print more info.
        (guardian_apply): check if the guardian is destroyed, and throw an
        error if so.  take one more optional argument `throw_p'.
        (scm_guard): depending on the value of `throw_p', return a boolean
        result.
        (scm_get_one_zombie): remove redundant property test.
        (guardian_t): represent the various (currently 3, I hope nothing
        more gets added) boolean fields as bit flags.
        (scm_guardian_destroyed_p, scm_guardian_greedy_p): new predicates.
        (scm_destroy_guardian_x): new procedure.

        * guardians.h: added prototypes for `scm_guardian_greedy_p' and
        `scm_guardian_destroyed_p'.  changed prototype for `scm_guard'.

2001-01-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

        * fports.c (fport_write): bugfix: handle short writes for
        unbuffered ports too.  optimize the buffered case by minimizing
        the number of write/flush calls.
        (write_all): new helper procedure.
