ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2004-12-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
   2
   3         * arrays.scm (make-array, list->array): Removed.
   4         (uniform-vector-fill!): Prepared to be deprecated.
   5
   6 2004-12-22  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): When creating a new
   9         variable, initialize it to the value of any imported variable with
  10         the given name.  This allows code like (define round round) to
  11         work as expected.
  12
  13         From Antoine Mathys <tonigonenstein@users.sourceforge.net>:
  14
  15         * popen.scm: Support bidirectional communication by making
  16         open-pipe support OPEN_BOTH as second argument and in that case
  17         return a soft input-output port which uses two pipes internally.
  18         Provide open-pipe* to execute programs without using the shell
  19         (and actually base open-pipe on it) and the obvious
  20         open-input-output-pipe.
  21
  22 2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  23
  24         * boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
  25         the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
  26         call, per SRFI-13 spec.
  27
  28 2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  29
  30         * boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
  31         Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
  32         reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
  33         'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
  34         * syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.
  35
  36 2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  37
  38         * arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.
  39
  40 2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  41
  42         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
  43         Removed.
  44
  45 2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  46
  47         * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
  48         able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
  49         will not.
  50
  51 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  52
  53         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
  54         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
  55
  56 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  57
  58         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
  59         provided by libguile.
  60
  61 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  62
  63         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
  64
  65 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  66
  67         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
  68         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
  69         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
  70         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
  71         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
  72         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
  73
  74 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  75
  76         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
  77         now implemented in C.
  78
  79 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  80
  81         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
  82         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
  83         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
  84         environment.
  85
  86 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  87
  88         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
  89         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
  90         that the bad value gets highlighted.
  91
  92 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  93
  94         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
  95         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
  96
  97         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
  98         support fractions currently.
  99
 100 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 101
 102         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
 103         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
 104         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
 105
 106 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 107
 108         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
 109
 110         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
 111
 112 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 113
 114         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
 115         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
 116         regexp/basic.
 117
 118 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 119
 120         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
 121         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
 122
 123 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 124
 125         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
 126
 127 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 128
 129         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
 130         of unmemoize.
 131         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
 132
 133 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 134
 135         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
 136         provides that feature.
 137         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
 138         provides that feature.
 139
 140 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 141
 142         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
 143
 144         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
 145         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
 146         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
 147         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
 148         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
 149
 150 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 151
 152         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 153         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 154         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 155         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 156         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 157         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 158         required by latest slib.
 159         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 160         per slib spec.
 161         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 162         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 163
 164 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 165
 166         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 167         ~{...~} control structure.
 168
 169 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 170
 171         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 172         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 173
 174         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 175
 176         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 177         rationalize, since they now exist.
 178
 179 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 180
 181         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 182         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 183
 184 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 185
 186         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 187         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 188         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 189         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 190         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 191
 192 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 193
 194         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 195         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 196         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 197         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 198
 199 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 200
 201         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 202         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 203         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 204
 205 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 206
 207         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 208         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 209
 210 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 213
 214 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 215
 216         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 217
 218         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 219
 220 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 221
 222         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 223         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 224         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 225         using separate build directory.
 226
 227 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 228
 229         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 230         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 231
 232 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 233
 234         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 235         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 236
 237 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 238
 239         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 240         accordance with slib spec.
 241
 242         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 243         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 244         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 245         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 246         to depend on expansion environment.
 247
 248 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 249
 250         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 251         being set.
 252
 253 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 254
 255         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 256         Reported by Richard Todd.
 257
 258 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 259
 260         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 261         to depend on expansion environment.
 262
 263         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 264         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 265         longer in the guile core.
 266
 267 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 268
 269         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 270         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 271
 272 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 273
 274         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 275
 276 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 277
 278         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 279
 280 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 281
 282         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 283         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 284         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 285         REPL's backtrace.
 286
 287         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 288         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 289         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 290         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 291         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 292
 293         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 294
 295 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 296
 297         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 298
 299 2003-10-16  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 300
 301         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-connect): Add arg to say whether to
 302         debug immediately on connection.
 303         (ui-eval): Handle exceptions during read and evaluation.
 304
 305         * debugger.scm (debug-on-error, default-default-lazy-handler):
 306         Remove an unnecessary level of indirection in calling lazy
 307         handler.
 308
 309 2003-10-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 310
 311         * ftw.scm (directory-files): Close dir-stream when done.  Thanks
 312         to Paul Jarc!
 313
 314 2003-10-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 315
 316         * poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and
 317         actually traverse the given alist.
 318
 319 2003-10-06  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 320
 321         * debugger/ui-client.scm (handle-instruction): Add evaluation
 322         support.
 323         (ui-eval): New.
 324
 325 2003-10-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 326
 327         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 328         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 329         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 330         ui-continue-async-thread.
 331         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 332         cause following select to pop immediately.
 333
 334 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 335
 336         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 337         progress on new debugging front end).
 338
 339 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 340
 341         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 342         New.
 343
 344         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 345         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 346         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 347         (trace-here): Trace through (debugger-output-port).
 348
 349         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 350         string, read from it before evaluating.
 351         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 352
 353 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 354
 355         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing
 356         change, need to watch out for stdin==stderr or stdout==stderr.
 357
 358 2003-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 359
 360         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it
 361         reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!
 362
 363 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 364
 365         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 366         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 367         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 368         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 369         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.
 370
 371 2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 372
 373         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
 374         the obarray, not an empty vector.
 375         (make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
 376         for empty ones.
 377
 378         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 379         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 380         already locked.

 462
 463         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 464         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for

 474         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)
 475         has been loaded.  This is so that people can put them as default
 476         handlers without worrying about availability.

 527         on the use-list based on module name rather than interface

 558
 559         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 560         (since the size now adapts).

 577
 578         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 579         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.
 580         (Thanks to Kevin Ryde.)
 581

 589         futures.
 590
 591 2003-01-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 592
 593         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 594
 595         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 596         operator as a primitive procedure.
 597         (build-data): Quote vectors (psyntax.ss requires this).
 598
 599 2003-01-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 603
 604 2003-01-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 605
 606         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 607         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 608         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 609         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 610         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 611         self-evaluating).
 612         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 613         (external-macro): New syntax type.

 618
 619         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Return *unspecified*.
 620
 621         * syncase.scm: Set expansion-eval-closure to
 622         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 623         created in the correct module.
 624         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 625         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 626         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 627         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 628         created from within psyntax.pp).
 629         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 630         transformation.
 631
 632 2003-01-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 635         (make-timer): New function.
 636
 637         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added occam-channel.scm.
 638
 639         * occam-channel.scm: New file.  Implements occam-like channels.
 640
 641 2002-12-28  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 642
 643         * boot-9.scm (module-defined-hook): New hook, run whenever a new
 644         module is defined.
 645         (process-define-module): Run this hook.
 646
 647 2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 648
 649         * threads.scm: Removed bogus definition of future-ref.
 650
 651 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 652
 653         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 654         joing-thread.
 655         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 656         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 657

 661         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 662
 663 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 666
 667 2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 668
 669         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): VERSION ->
 670         GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.

 676
 677 2002-12-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 678
 679         * threads.scm (parallel): New macro.
 680          (par-map, par-for-each): New procedures.
 681
 682         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for
 683         defmacros.

 686
 687         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 688         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 689
 690 2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 691
 692         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 693         following changes:
 694
 695         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 696
 697         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 698         %system-define.
 699
 700         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 701         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 702
 703 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 704
 705         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 706         has been removed from the core.
 707
 708 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 709
 710         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 711         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 712         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 713         'real' macro definitions.
 714

 716
 717         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 718         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 719
 720 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 721
 722         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 723         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 724
 725 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 726
 727         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 728         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 729
 730 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 731
 732         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 733         change below.

 735         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 736         recording when module is loaded.
 737         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 738

 742         code.
 743
 744         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 745         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 746         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 747         readline).)
 748
 749 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 750
 751         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 752         it is not thread-safe.
 753
 754 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 755
 756         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This

 760
 761         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 762         `guile-debugger' package ...

 764         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 765         - see comment in file for more details.
 766         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the

 770
 771         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 772         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 773         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 774         breakpoint support ...

 780         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
 781         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 782
 783         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 784         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 785         execution from a breakpoint.
 786
 787         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 788         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,

 798
 799         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that

 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 805         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 806         the-root-module.
 807
 808 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 811         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 812         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 813         unmask-signals.
 814
 815 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 816

 821
 822         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 823         >= 0.
 824
 825 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 826
 827         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 828         limit the signal stack.
 829
 830 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 831

 833
 834 2002-09-14  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
 835
 836         * boot-9.scm (sqrt): minor indentation fix.
 837
 838 2002-09-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 839
 840         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 841         that we can use define-syntax.
 842         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 843

 847         (sc-macro): Set the expansion-eval-closure expanding the form.
 848         (putprop, getprop): Use the expansion-eval-closure to find

 850
 851 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 852
 853         * slib.scm (make-exchanger): Added.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

 861
 862         * boot-9.scm (file-set-position): Make third argument optional,
 863         for SCM compatibility.

 877

 879
 880         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can

 882         exponents.
 883

 889
 890         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 913
 914         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
 915         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
 916         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
 917
 918         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
 919

 931
 932         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
 933         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
 934         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
 935         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
 936
 937 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 938
 939         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
 940
 941         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
 942         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is

 944
 945 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 946
 947         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have
 948         these in the core.
 949

 951

 955         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
 956         positions.
 957
 958 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 959
 960         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
 961         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
 962         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
 963
 964         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
 965           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

 970           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
 971           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
 972           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
 973           exporting bindings.
 974
 975 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 976
 977         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,

 979
 980 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 981
 982         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
 983         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
 984         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
 985         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
 986
 987 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 988
 989         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
 990         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,
 991         %%apropos-internal): Use module-define! instead of
 992         builtin-variable.
 993

 995
 996         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.

1002         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
1003
1004 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1005
1006         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in
1007         $(srcdir) in order to support separate build trees.
1008
1009 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1010
1011         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
1012         the `arglist' procedure property.
1013         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
1014         present a more detailed argument list.
1015
1016         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1017
1018 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1019
1020         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
1021         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
1022         Skarda.
1023
1024 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1025
1026         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
1027
1028         (feature?): Deprecated.
1029
1030         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

1039         (module-make-local-var!, module-ensure-local-variable!,
1040         module-define!): Eliminate call to `variable-set-name-hint!´.
1041
1042         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
1043         functionality.
1044
1045         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
1046         needed to trick export.
1047
1048 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1049
1050         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.
1051
1052 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1053
1054         * and-let-star-compat.scm:  Deleted.
1055
1056         * Makefile.am: Remove references to and-let-star-compat.scm.
1057
1058 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1059
1060         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1061         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1062         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1063
1064 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1065
1066         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1067         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
1068
1069 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1070
1071         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1073 2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1074
1075         * getopt-long.scm: Rewrite.
1076         Touch up docstrings.
1077         Augment commentary.
1078
1079 2001-08-02  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1080
1081         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if

1086         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1087
1088         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
1089         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
1090         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1091
1092 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1093
1094         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1095         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1096
1097 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1098
1099         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in

1101
1102 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1103
1104         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
1105         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
1106         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1107         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1108         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1109
1110 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1111
1112         * and-let-star.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm, history.scm,

1114         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
1115
1116 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1117
1118         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1119         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1120
1121 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1122
1123         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1124         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1125         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1126         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1127
1128         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1129         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1130         since there aren't definitions for them.
1131
1132         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1133         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1134
1135 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1136
1137         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1138         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1139
1140 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1141
1142         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1143         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1144
1145 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1146
1147         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1148         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1149         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1150

1158
1159         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that

1217 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1220         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1221         rdelim) module.  See below.
1222
1223 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1224

1229
1230         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1231         unknown objects.
1232
1233         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1234         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1235         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1236
1237         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1238         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of

1243
1244         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1245         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1246         variable, not just a visible one.
1247         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1248         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1249         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1250         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1251         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1252         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1253         variables.
1254         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1255
1256         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1257         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1258
1259 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1260
1261         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1262         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1263
1264 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1265
1266         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1267
1268 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1269
1270         Added exception notice to all files.
1271
1272         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1273         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1274         importing bindings once in a while.
1275
1276 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1277
1278         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1279         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1280         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1281         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1282         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1283         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1284         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1285         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1286         message.
1287         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1288         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1289
1290 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1291
1292         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1293         fix command so that it works.
1294
1295         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1296         to access unbound variables.
1297
1298         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1299         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1300         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1301         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1302         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1303
1304 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1307         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1308         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1309         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1310         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1311         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1312         argument for process-define-module.
1313         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1314         arguments for process-use-modules.
1315         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1316
1317 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1320         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.

1322         module.
1323
1324         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1325         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1326         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1327

1348
1349         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1350         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1351

1356
1357         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1358         * match.scm: Likewise.
1359         * expect.scm: Likewise.

1370         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1371         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1372         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1373         element list when adding "." to it.

1380         cleanup; nfc.
1381         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1382         now accepts arg; update callers.
1383         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1384         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1385
1386         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1387         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1388         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1389         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using

1391         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1392         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.

1420         the module obarray.
1421         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1422
1423         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1424         the magical undefined value.
1425         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1426         the default default for bindings.
1427
1428         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1429         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1430         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1431         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the

1436         eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.
1437         (module-define!): Do not pass name hint to make-variable, use
1438         `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1439         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1440         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1441         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These
1442         definitions need to be visible at the time of the first
1443         `set-current-module' call.
1444         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1445         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.

1476         (resolve-interface): Extend to handle selection and renaming in spec.
1477         Arg is now `spec' which can be a simple module name (list of symbols)
1478         or a interface spec.
1479         (symbol-prefix-proc): New proc.
1480         (%autoloader-developer-mode): Delete.
1481         (process-define-module): Use "define-module" in error messages
1482         instead of "defmodule".  Factor error into internal proc.
1483         Rewrite `use-module' and `use-syntax' handlers.
1484         Replace some single-arm `if-not' constructs w/ `or'.
1485         (process-use-modules): Arg is now `module-interface-specs',
1486         which is passed through to `resolve-interface' as before; nfc.
1487         (named-module-use!, top-repl): Abstraction maintenance: Use

1787         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1788         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1789
1790         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1791         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1792
1793         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1794         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1795
1796 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1797
1798         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1799         in C for now.
1800         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1801         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1802
1803 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1804
1805         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1806         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1807         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.

1810         for now.

1813
1814 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1815
1816         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1817         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1818         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1819         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1820         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1821         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1822         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1823

1828
1829 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1830
1831         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1832         any more.
1833
1834 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1835
1836         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in

1846         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1847         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm

1858
1859 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1860
1861         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1862         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1863         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1864         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in

1872 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1873
1874         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1875         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1876         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1877         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1878         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1879         Pirotte for the bug report).
1880         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1881         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

1893
1894         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not

1907         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.

1909         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1910         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1911         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1912         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
1913         actual documentation entries themselves.

1944         `symbol-append'.
1945         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
1946         args.
1947         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
1948         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
1949         even worked...  /mdj.
1950         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
1951         `symbol->string'.

1980         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
1981         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
1982         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
1983         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.

1991         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
1992
1993         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
1994         syntactic bindings.
1995
1996         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
1997         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.

1999         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
2000

2010
2011 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2012
2013         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to

2019
2020         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
2021         lines.

2023         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
2024
2025 2000-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

2030
2031         * boot-9.scm (expt):  In case of negative integer exponents return

2033         Mikael for the suggestion.
2034
2035 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2036

2038         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2039
2040 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2041
2042         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2043         for export args.
2044
2045 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2046
2047         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
2048
2049 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2050
2051         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,

2053         for the hint.
2054
2055         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
2056         `l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
2057         tail recursive yet.
2058
2059 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2060
2061         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2062         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2063
2064         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2065         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2066         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2067         See NEWS.
2068         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

2077 2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2078
2079         * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
2080         (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
2081
2082 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2083
2084         * common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
2085         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2086
2087 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2088
2089         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2090
2091         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2092
2093         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2094
2095 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2096
2097         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2098         '() instead of #f.
2099         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2100         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2101         `the-root-module'.
2102         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2103
2104         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2105         documentation.scm.
2106

2109         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2110         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2111         (help): Rewritten.
2112
2113         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2114
2115         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2116
2117 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2118
2119         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
2120         (write-all): Removed.

2124 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2125
2126         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2127         `proc-documentation'
2128
2129         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2130         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2131         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2132         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2133         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2134         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2135         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2136         getter...)
2137
2138 2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2139
2140         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

2142 2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2143
2144         * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
2145         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2146         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2147         closure.
2148
2149 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2150
2151         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2152         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2153         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2154         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2155         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2156         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2157         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2158
2159 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2160
2161         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2162         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2163
2164 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2165
2166         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2167         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2168
2169 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2170
2171         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2172         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2173         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2174         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2175         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2176         delete-if! when iterating.
2177
2178 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2179
2180         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2181
2182 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2183
2184         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2185
2186 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2187
2188         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2189         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2190         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2191         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2192
2193 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2194
2195         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2196         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2197
2198 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2199
2200         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2201         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2202         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2203         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2204
2205 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2206
2207         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2208         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2209
2210 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2211
2212         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2213         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2214
2215 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2216
2217         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2218         Dirk Hermann!
2219
2220 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2221
2222         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2223         source of the numerous very short changes.
2224
2225 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2226
2227         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2228         public.
2229
2230         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2231         info pages.
2232
2233 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2234
2235         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2236         from slib docs.
2237
2238 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2239
2240         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2241         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2242
2243 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2244
2245         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2246         to string-append.
2247
2248 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2249
2250         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2251         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2252         the time first either, since expect-select does it.

2254 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2255
2256         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2257         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2258         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2259         Narazaki for this change.
2260
2261 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2262
2263         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2264         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2265         %S.
2266
2267         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2268         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2269
2270 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2271
2272         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2273         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2274
2275 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2276
2277         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,

2282
2283         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2284         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2285         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2286
2287 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

2292
2293         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2294         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2295
2296 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2297
2298         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2299
2300         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2301
2302         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2303
2304 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

2308
2309 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2310
2311         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2312         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2313
2314 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2315
2316         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2317         script to create generated files like this one.
2318
2319 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2320
2321         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2322         available before using getpw and getuid.
2323         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2324         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2325         check for stat.
2326         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2327         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2328         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2329         available.
2330         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2331         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2332         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2333
2334         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2335         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2336
2337         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2338
2339 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2340
2341         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2342         than 'exit-debugger.
2343
2344         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2345         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2346
2347         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2348
2349 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2350
2351         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2352         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2353         ("position"): New command.

2359
2360 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2361
2362         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2363         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2364         Badros.)
2365
2366 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2367
2368         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2369         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2370
2371 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2372
2373         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2374
2375         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

2388
2389         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2390         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2391
2392         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2393
2394 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2395
2396         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2397         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2398         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2399         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2400
2401         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2402         argument.
2403
2404         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2405         both forward and backward views of the stack
2406         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2407         Use selector `frame-number';
2408         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2409         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2410         Use (ice-9 debug).
2411         Use readline conditionally.
2412
2413 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2414
2415         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2416         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2417         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2418
2419         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2420         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2421         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2422
2423 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2424
2425         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2426
2427         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2428
2429         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2430
2431         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2432
2433 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2434
2435         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2436         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2437         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2438         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2439         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2440         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2441         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2442         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2443         libguile-config-stamp.
2444         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2445         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2446         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2447         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2448         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2449
2450 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2451
2452         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2453         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2454         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2455
2456         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2457         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2458         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2459         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2460         readline.
2461
2462         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2463
2464 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2465
2466         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2467
2468 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2469
2470         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2471         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2472
2473 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2474
2475         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2476         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2477         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2478         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2479         objects starting with '#/'.
2480
2481 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2482
2483         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2484         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2485         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2486         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2487         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2488         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2489         `observer-id'.
2490         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2491         module-modified): New procedures.
2492         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2493         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2494
2495 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2496
2497         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2498         defines.
2499
2500 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2501
2502         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2503         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2504         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2505
2506         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2507         position.
2508
2509 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2510
2511         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2512         at multiple calls to read.
2513         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2514         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2515         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2516         continued-lines prompt.
2517
2518         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2519         reading expressions.
2520
2521 1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2522
2523         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2524         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2525
2526 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2527
2528         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2529         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2530         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2531
2532         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2533
2534         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2535         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2536
2537         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2538         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2539         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2540         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2541         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2542         instead of a port.
2543
2544 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2545
2546         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2547         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2548
2549         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2550
2551         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2552         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2553         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2554         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2555
2556         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2557
2558         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2559
2560         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2561         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2562         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2563         an alist.
2564
2565         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2566
2567         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2568         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2569         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2570         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2571         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2572         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2573         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2574         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2575         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2576         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2577         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2578
2579         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2580
2581         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2582         peeked from the stream.
2583         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2584         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2585         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2586
2587         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2588
2589         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2590         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2591
2592         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2593
2594         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2595         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows

2599
2600         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2601         error catching loop after quit received.
2602         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2603
2604         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2605         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2606         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2607
2608         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2609         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2610         boot-9.scm.
2611         * popen.scm: new file.
2612
2613 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2614
2615        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2616        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2617
2618 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2619
2620         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2621         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2622
2623 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2624
2625         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2626         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2627         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2628         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2629         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2630
2631 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2632
2633         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2634
2635         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2636         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2637
2638         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2639         Guile's module system.
2640
2641         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2642         changes:
2643         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2644         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2645         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2646         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2647         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2648         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2649         modern CL behavior.
2650         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2651         '() when the condition is false.
2652
2653 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2654
2655         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2656
2657 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2658
2659         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2660
2661 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2662
2663         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2664         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2665         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2666
2667 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2668
2669         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2670         argument order for hash-fold.
2671
2672 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2673
2674         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2675         resolve-module.
2676         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2677         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2678
2679         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2680         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2681         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2682         has been added to the load path).
2683
2684         Use try-load-module.
2685
2686 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2687
2688         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2689         module between system and user state.
2690
2691 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2692
2693         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2694
2695         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2696         definition.
2697
2698 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2699
2700         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2701         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2702         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2703
2704 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2705
2706         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2707         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2708         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2709         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2710         stack frame encountered.
2711
2712         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2713         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2714         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2715         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2716         list).]
2717
2718         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2719         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2720         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2721         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2722         please tell me!]
2723
2724         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2725         define-module switches:
2726
2727         (define-module (foo)
2728           :no-backtrace)
2729
2730         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2731         modules.
2732
2733         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2734         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2735         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2736         module it is a system frame.
2737
2738         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2739         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2740         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2741         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2742         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2743
2744         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2745         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2746         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2747         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2748         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2749         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2750
2751         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2752         status of a module.;
2753         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2754         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2755
2756         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2757         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2758         closure to the module.
2759
2760         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.

2769
2770 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2771
2772         Fix from Russ McManus:
2773         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2774         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2775         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2776         either an optional or required value.
2777
2778 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2779
2780         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2781
2782         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2783         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2784
2785         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2786         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2787         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2788         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2789
2790 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2791
2792         * optargs.scm: New file.
2793         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2794         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2795
2796 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2797
2798         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2799         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2800         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2801
2802 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2803
2804         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2805         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2806         for isn't loaded.
2807
2808 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2809
2810         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2811
2812 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2813
2814         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2815         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2816         applied to the module itself.
2817
2818 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2819
2820         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2821
2822         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2823         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2824
2825 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2826
2827         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2832
2833 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2834
2835         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2836         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2837
2838 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2839
2840         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2841         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2842         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2843         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2844         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2845         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2846         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2847
2848 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2849
2850         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2851         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2852
2853 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2854
2855         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2856         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2857         static libraries.
2858
2859 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2860
2861         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2862
2863 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2864
2865         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2866
2867 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2868
2869         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2870         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2871         adapt to the new hooks.
2872
2873 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2874
2875         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2876         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2877         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2878         code.
2879         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2880         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2881
2882         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2883         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2884         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2885         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2886         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2887         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2888         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2889         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2890         first to register linked modules.
2891
2892         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2893         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2894         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2895
2896         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2897         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2898         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2899         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2900
2901         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2902         to use from C:
2903         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2904         libguile/feature.c.
2905
2906         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2907         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2908         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2909
2910 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2911
2912         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
2913         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
2914         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
2915
2916 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2917
2918         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
2919         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
2920         result of the last form.
2921
2922 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2923
2924         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
2925         syncase.scm.
2926
2927         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
2928
2929         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
2930         readline-set!: New options interface.
2931
2932         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
2933
2934 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2935
2936         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
2937         at the end of boot-9.scm.
2938
2939 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2940
2941         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
2942         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2943
2944 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2945
2946         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
2947         interactive session.
2948         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
2949
2950         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
2951         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
2952
2953 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2954
2955         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...

2957 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2958
2959         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
2960         read line was empty.
2961
2962 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2963
2964         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
2965         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
2966
2967         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
2968
2969         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
2970         problem.  Duh.
2971         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
2972         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
2973         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
2974
2975         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
2976         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
2977         into...
2978         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
2979         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
2980         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
2981
2982         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
2983         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
2984         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
2985         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
2986         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
2987         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
2988         psyntax.ss.
2989         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2990
2991         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2992         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2993
2994 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2995
2996         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
2997         and short vectors #h(...).
2998
2999 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3000
3001         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
3002         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
3003         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
3004
3005 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3006
3007         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
3008         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
3009         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
3010
3011 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3012
3013         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
3014         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
3015
3016         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
3017         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
3018         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
3019         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
3020
3021 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3022
3023         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
3024         trace flag.
3025
3026         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
3027         order to allow the empty list as arg.
3028         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
3029         context with traps enabled.
3030
3031 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3032
3033         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
3034         module.
3035         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
3036
3037 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3038
3039         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3040         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3041         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
3042         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3043         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3044
3045 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3046
3047         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3048         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3049
3050 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3051
3052         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3053
3054 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3055
3056         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3057
3058 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3059
3060         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3061
3062 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3063
3064         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3065         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3066
3067 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3068
3069         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3070         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3071         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3072         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3073         Archibald.)
3074
3075         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3076         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3077         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3078
3079 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3080
3081         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3082         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3083         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3084         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3085         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3086         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3087         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3088
3089 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3090
3091         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3092
3093 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3094
3095         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3096         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3097         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3098         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3099         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3100         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3101
3102 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3103
3104         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3105         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3106         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3107         Steven G. Johnson.)
3108
3109 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3110
3111         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3112
3113 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3114
3115         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3116
3117 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3118
3119         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3120         be completed.
3121
3122 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3123
3124         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3125
3126 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3127
3128         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3129         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3130
3131 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3132
3133         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3134         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3135         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3136         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3137         transformer.
3138         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3139         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3140
3141 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3142
3143         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3144
3145 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3146
3147         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3148         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3149         completion.
3150
3151         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3152         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3153
3154         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3155         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3156         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3157
3158         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3159
3160 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3161
3162         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3163
3164         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3165         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3166
3167 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3168
3169         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3170
3171 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3172
3173         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3174         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3175
3176         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3177
3178         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3179         obsolete.
3180
3181 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3182
3183         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3184         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3185
3186 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3187
3188         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3189
3190 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3191
3192         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3193         Stachowiak.)
3194
3195 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3196
3197         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3198         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3199         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3200         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3201         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3202         threads.
3203
3204 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3205
3206         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3207         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3208         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3209
3210 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3211
3212         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3213
3214         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3215         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3216
3217 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3218
3219         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3220         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3221         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3222         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3223         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3224         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3225         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3226         to go here.
3227
3228 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3229
3230         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3231         is now a fluid.
3232
3233 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3234
3235         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3236         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3237         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3238         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3239         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3240         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3241
3242 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3243
3244         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3245         usefully so they will work from a script.
3246
3247 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3248
3249         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3250         neighborhood of the record code.
3251
3252 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3253
3254         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3255         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3256         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3257         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3258
3259 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3260
3261         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3262         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3263         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3264
3265 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3266
3267         Add support for readline function.
3268         * readline.scm: New module.
3269         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3270         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3271         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3272         anything.
3273         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3274         repl-reader to use them.
3275         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3276
3277         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3278
3279 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3280
3281         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3282         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3283
3284 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3285
3286         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3287         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3288         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3289
3290 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3291
3292         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3293         #f, abort terminates the process.
3294         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3295         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3296
3297 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3298
3299         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3300         print-state, throw it away.
3301
3302 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3303
3304         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3305         `0'.
3306
3307 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3308
3309         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3310         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3311         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3312         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3313         user field).
3314         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3315         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.

3318
3319         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3320
3321 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3322
3323         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3324         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3325         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3326         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3327         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3328         boot-9.scm.
3329         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3330         distribution and installation.
3331         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3332

3336
3337 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3338
3339         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3340         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3341         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3342
3343         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3344         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3345         symbol.
3346
3347 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3348
3349         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3350

3355         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3356         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3357         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3358         field a separate argument.
3359
3360         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3361
3362 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3363
3364         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3365
3366         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3367         vicinity;
3368         Provide defmacro.
3369
3370 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3375
3376         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3377         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3378         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3379         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3380         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3381         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3382         registered.
3383         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3384         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3385         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3386         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3387         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3388         link a .so-file.

3396         * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
3397         (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
3398
3399 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3400
3401         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3402
3403         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3404         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3405         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3406         expansion inside the slib module.
3407
3408         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3409         constructors.

3415         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3416         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3417
3418         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3419         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3420         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3421         source.
3422         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3423         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3424         been loaded.
3425
3426 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3429         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3430         `use-syntax'.
3431         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.

3433         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3435         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3436         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3437         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3438         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3439         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3440         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3441         module.
3442         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3443
3444 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3445
3446         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3447
3448         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3449         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3450         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3451         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3452         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3453
3454         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3455         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3456         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3457         syncase macros.
3458         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3459         the syncase interface.
3460
3461 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3462
3463         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3464         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3465         workings of the current module system).
3466
3467 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3468
3469         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3470         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3471         off!
3472
3473 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3478
3479 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3480
3481         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3482         according to the following priorities:
3483         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3484         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3485         3. tcl bindings
3486         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3487         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3488         (new-interpreter): New function.
3489
3490         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3491         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3492         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3509
3510         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3511         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3512         source!
3513
3514 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3521         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3522         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3523         in stack-ref).
3524
3525         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3526         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3527         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3528         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3529         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3530         result protocol;

3545
3546         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3547         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3548         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3549
3550         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3551
3552         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.
3553         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Syntax-case macros, portable version 2 by

3567
3568         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3569         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3570         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3571
3572         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3573         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3574         the top.
3575
3576         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3577         order to narrow it correctly.

3586
3587         * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

3590
3591         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3592         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3593
3594 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3595
3596         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3597         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3598         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

3614
3615         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3616         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide

3618
3619         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3620

3624         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3625         notation, instead of #/ notation.

3628         make-regexp.
3629

3631
3632         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3633         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3634         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3635         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3636         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3637         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3638
3639         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3640         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3641         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3642         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3643
3644 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3645
3646         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3647         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3648         sending in bug reports.
3649         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3650         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3651         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3652         display a warning if the two are different.
3653         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3654         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3655         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3658
3659         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3660
3661 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3662
3663         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3664         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3665
3666         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3667         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3668         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3669         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3670         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3671         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3672         that's okay.
3673
3674         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3675         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3676         regexp interface.
3677
3678         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3679         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3680
3681         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3682         function names.
3683
3684         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3685         fixes.
3686
3687 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3688
3689         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3690         ../configure.in.
3691
3692 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3693
3694         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3695         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3696
3697 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3698
3699         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3700         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3701         to support printing of structures.
3702         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3703         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3704         commented out printing code.
3705         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3706         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3707
3708 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3709
3710         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3711
3712 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3713
3714         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3715         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3716         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3717         during call to scm-style-repl.
3718
3719 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3720
3721         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3722         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3723         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3724         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3725         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3726
3727 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3728
3729         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3730         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3731         (ice-9 regex).
3732
3733 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3734
3735         * regex.scm: New file.
3736         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3737         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3738
3739 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3740
3741         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
3742         gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
3743         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
3744         threads.scm: New address for FSF.
3745
3746 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3747
3748         * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
3749         in 1997.
3750
3751 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3752
3753         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3754         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3755         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3756
3757 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3758
3759         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3760         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3761         here.
3762
3763 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3764
3765         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3766
3767 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3768
3769         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3770
3771 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3772
3773         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3774         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3775         fixes this too.
3776
3777 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3778
3779         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3780         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3781         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3782
3783 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3784
3785         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3786         the Scheme code like code yet.
3787         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3788
3789 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3790
3791         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3792         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3793         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3794
3795 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3796
3797         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3798         use-modules macro
3799         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3800         can't be found.
3801
3802 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3803
3804         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3805
3806 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3807
3808         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3809
3810         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3811         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3812         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3813
3814 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3815
3816         Get 'make dist' to work again.
3817         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
3818         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
3819
3820         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3821         no plugins.
3822         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3823         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3824
3825 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3826
3827         * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
3828         functions.
3829
3830 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3831
3832         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3833
3834 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3835
3836         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3837         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
3838
3839 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3840
3841         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3842         instead of in libguile.
3843         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3844         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3845
3846 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3847
3848         * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
3849         procedures.
3850         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
3851         (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
3852
3853 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3854
3855         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3856         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3857
3858 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3859
3860         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3861         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3862         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3863         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3864
3865 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3866
3867         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3868         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3869
3870 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3871
3872         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
3873
3874 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3875
3876         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3877         keywords and symbols.
3878
3879 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3880
3881         * slib.scm: update read usage.
3882
3883         * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
3884         Don't define read-sharp.
3885
3886         * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
3887         (read-sharp): removed.
3888         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
3889         case_i or read-sharp arguments.
3890
3891 Sat Mar  8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3892
3893         * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
3894
3895         * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
3896         primitive procedure.)
3897
3898         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
3899         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
3900
3901 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3902
3903         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3904
3905 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3906
3907         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3908
3909 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3910
3911         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3912         read gets EOF.
3913         * (exit): alias for quit.
3914
3915 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3916
3917         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
3918         return the quit args.
3919         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
3920         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
3921         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
3922
3923         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
3924
3925 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3926
3927         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
3928
3929         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
3930         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
3931
3932         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
3933         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
3934
3935         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
3936         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
3937         of handlers.
3938
3939 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3940
3941         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
3942
3943         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
3944         (add-hooks!): New macro.
3945         Change hooks to use these functions.
3946
3947         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
3948         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
3949         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
3950         the source! :-)
3951         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
3952         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
3953         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
3954         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
3955         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
3956         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
3957         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
3958         traced.
3959
3960         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
3961         and exit-frame exceptions.
3962
3963         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
3964         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
3965         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
3966         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
3967         result; otherwise display "> ".
3968         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
3969
3970         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
3971         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
3972         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
3973         repository version runnable.
3974
3975 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3976
3977         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
3978         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
3979         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
3980         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
3981         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
3982         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
3983
3984 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3985
3986         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
3987         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
3988         and eval.
3989         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
3990         "defined?".
3991         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
3992         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.

3995
3996         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
3997
3998 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3999
4000         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
4001         %read-sharp layer.
4002
4003 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4004
4005         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
4006         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
4007
4008 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4009
4010         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
4011         backtrace.c.)
4012
4013 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4014
4015         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
4016         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
4017
4018 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4019
4020         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
4021
4022         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
4023         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
4024         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
4025         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
4026         dynamic linking of modules.
4027         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
4028         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
4029
4030 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4031
4032         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
4033
4034 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4035
4036         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4037         that's what it is.
4038
4039         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4040         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
4041         was false.
4042
4043 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4044
4045         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4046         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4047         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4048
4049 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4050
4051         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4052         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4053         yet.
4054
4055 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4056
4057         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4058         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4059         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4060
4061 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4062
4063         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4064         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4065         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4066         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4067
4068         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4069         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4070         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4071         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4072         (such as the-scm-module).
4073
4074 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4075
4076         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4077         %search-load-path.
4078
4079 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4080
4081         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4082         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4083         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4084
4085 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4086
4087         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4088         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4089         function, use it accordingly.
4090
4091 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4092
4093         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4094         function of no arguments.
4095         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4096         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4097         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4098         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4099         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4100         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4101         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4102         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4103
4104 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4105
4106         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4107         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4108
4109 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4110
4111         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4112         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4113         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4114         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4115         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4116
4117         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4118         `*features*'.
4119
4120         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4121         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4122         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4123         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4124
4125         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4126
4127         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4128
4129         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4130         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4131         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4132
4133         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4134         error.
4135
4136         Added `before-read-hook'.
4137
4138         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4139
4140         (provide): New function.
4141
4142         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4143         in backtraces.
4144
4145         (backtrace): New function.
4146
4147         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4148         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4149         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4150         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4151         is found in operator position in a frame.
4152
4153         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4154         by default.
4155
4156         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4157         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4158         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4159
4160         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4161
4162         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4163
4164         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4165
4166         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4167
4168 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4169
4170         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4171
4172         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4173         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4174
4175         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4176         so they'll get distributed.
4177
4178         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4179         should see as little clutter as possible.
4180         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4181         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4182         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4183
4184         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4185         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4186         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4187         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4188         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4189         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4190         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4191         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4192         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4193         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4194         that are not.
4195         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4196         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4197
4198         * test.scm: New file.
4199
4200         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4201         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4202         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4203
4204         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4205         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4206
4207         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4208         work now.
4209         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4210         call %load-announce.
4211
4212 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4213
4214         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4215         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4216         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4217         components.
4218         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4219
4220 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4221
4222         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4223         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4224         SCSH (which this isn't).
4225
4226 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4227
4228         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4229
4230 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4231
4232         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4233         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4234         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4235         these.
4236         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4237         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4238         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4239         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4240         save-stack.
4241
4242 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4243
4244         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4245
4246         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4247
4248         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4249         error-catching-loop.
4250         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4251         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4252         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4253
4254         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4255         error-catching-loop.
4256
4257 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4258
4259         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4260         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4261         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4262         should be '(), not #f.
4263
4264         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4265         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4266
4267 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4268
4269         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4270         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4271         error-signal.
4272
4273 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4274
4275         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4276         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4277         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4278         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4279
4280 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4281
4282         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4283
4284 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4285
4286         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4287
4288         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4289         throw-handler-default.
4290         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4291         reported.
4292         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4293         acro.
4294         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4295         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4296
4297 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4298
4299         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4300         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4301         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4302         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4303
4304 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4305
4306         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4307         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4308         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4309         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4310         ...))
4311         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4312         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4313         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4314         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4315         file-is-directory?
4316
4317 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4318
4319         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4320
4321         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4322         distribution.
4323
4324         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4325         `switch-repl'.
4326
4327         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4328
4329 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4330
4331         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4332         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4333
4334 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4335
4336         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4337
4338         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4339
4340 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4341
4342         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4343         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4344         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4345         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4346         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4347
4348         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4349         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4350         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4351         they seem redundant.
4352         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4353         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4354         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4355         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4356         directly files starting with "/").
4357         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4358         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4359
4360         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4361
4362 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4363
4364         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4365         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4366         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4367         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4368         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4369         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4370         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4371         robust to just do it in the C code.
4372
4373 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4374
4375         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4376         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4377         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4378         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4379         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4380
4381 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4382
4383         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4384         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4385         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4386
4387 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4388
4389         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4390         system-error, not every kind of error.
4391         (scm-error): new procedure.
4392
4393 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4394
4395         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4396
4397 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4398
4399         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4400         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4401         of args are supplied.
4402         (%%system-errors): removed.
4403         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4404         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4405         %%handle-system-error.
4406         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4407         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4408         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4409         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4410
4411 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4412
4413         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4414         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4415         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4416         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4417
4418 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4419
4420         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4421         the empty list if they are #f.
4422         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4423
4424 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4425
4426         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4427
4428         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4429         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4430         aborting, just the key and subr.
4431         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4432         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4433         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4434

4436
4437         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4438         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4439         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4440         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4441         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4442
4443 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4444
4445         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4446         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4447         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4448         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
4449
4450 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4451
4452         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4453         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4454         initialize %load-path.
4455
4456         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4457         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4458
4459 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4460
4461         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4462         Add the directory named after the version number.
4463         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4464         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4465         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4466         sitedatadir): New definitions.
4467         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

4473
4474         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4475         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4476         in the Makefile directly.
4477         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4478         for these.
4479         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4480         aux_files.

4482         here, where people expect to find them.

4492
4493         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
4494         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

4505
4506         * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
4507         (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes.  return

4510         (%open-file): removed.
4511         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4512         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

4517         (manifest): Deleted.
4518         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

4520
4521 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4522
4523         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
4524         now that they throw errors directly.
4525         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
4526         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
