1 2000-07-12 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
3 * boot-9.scm (expt): Make sure that integer-expt is only called
4 if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
6 2000-07-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
8 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
11 2000-06-27 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
13 * popen.scm: gc-thunk is deprecated. Use after-gc-hook instead.
15 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
17 * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
18 remove-if-not): Made tail-recursive. Thanks to William Webber
21 (delete-if!, delete-if-not!): Renamed parameter from `list' to
22 `l' in order to avoid confusion. Note: These functions are not
25 2000-06-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
27 * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
28 and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
30 * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
31 (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
32 (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
34 (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.
36 * null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.
38 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
40 * session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
41 module graph. (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)
43 2000-06-20 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
45 * session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
46 (help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.
48 2000-06-16 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
50 * common-list.scm (list*): Removed, since this function is
51 implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
53 2000-06-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
55 * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
57 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
59 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
61 2000-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
63 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
65 (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
66 (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
68 (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
70 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
73 * session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
74 (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
75 (apropos-fold): New procedure.
76 (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
79 * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
81 * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
83 2000-06-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
85 * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
87 (find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'. Return
88 documentation string instead of printing it. Not exported.
90 Tue Jun 6 09:21:28 2000 Greg J. Badros <gregb@go2net.com>
92 * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
95 * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal. Put variables at the top of
96 the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
97 (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
98 supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
99 `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
100 getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
101 function. (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
104 2000-06-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
106 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.
108 2000-06-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
110 * boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
111 anonymous. Now needed in modules.c.
112 (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
115 2000-05-14 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
117 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten. first work out the home
118 directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
119 to open a file in more than one place). catch exceptions when
120 trying to get a directory from the user database. don't check
121 that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
122 of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
123 reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
125 2000-05-11 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
127 * boot-9.scm (abs): Don't set to magnitude. abs now does not
128 accept complex numbers as parameter.
130 2000-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
132 * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
133 label of named let to `delete-if-not'. Sorry.
135 2000-05-08 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
137 * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
138 `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
139 (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
140 instead of remove-if when iterating.
141 (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
142 delete-if! when iterating.
144 2000-04-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
146 * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
148 2000-04-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
150 * session.scm (help): New macro. Prints helpful information.
152 2000-04-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
154 * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
155 the end of the pipe to the parent. otherwise move->fdes and
156 the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
157 descriptors still in use in parent ports.
159 2000-04-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
161 * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure. use it from
162 reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
164 2000-04-04 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
166 * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references. Also,
167 print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
168 individual pairs. (This code should probably be integrated into C
169 level facilities. It is currently terribly slow.)
171 2000-04-03 Michael Livshin <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
173 * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
174 because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
176 Thu Mar 9 08:05:08 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
178 * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
179 slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
181 Thu Mar 2 12:20:52 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
183 * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
186 Wed Mar 1 12:21:02 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
188 * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
189 source of the numerous very short changes.
191 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
193 * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
196 * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
199 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
201 * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
204 2000-02-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
206 * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
207 so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
209 2000-01-30 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
211 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
214 2000-01-29 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
216 * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
217 since select now checks port buffers itself. don't bother to check
218 the time first either, since expect-select does it.
220 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
222 * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
223 re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
224 which interacts poorly with the module system). Thanks to Shuji
225 Narazaki for this change.
227 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
229 * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
230 `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
233 * boot-9.scm: Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
234 primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
236 2000-01-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
238 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
239 inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
241 1999-12-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
243 * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
244 scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
245 use define-public to export from the module.
247 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
249 * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
250 not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
251 realizing the former existed. Thanks Brad Knotwell!
253 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
255 * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
257 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999 Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
259 * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
260 were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
262 1999-11-19 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
264 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
266 * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
268 * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
270 1999-11-18 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
272 * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
273 long_long uniform vectors.
275 1999-11-17 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
277 * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
278 take an optional argument STAYOPEN. default is #f.
280 1999-10-05 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
282 * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository. Run the autogen.sh
283 script to create generated files like this one.
285 1999-09-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
287 * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
288 available before using getpw and getuid.
289 (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
290 (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
292 (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
293 check for .guile, instead of stat.
294 (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
296 (feature?): I guess this is deprecated. redefined using "provided?"
297 and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
298 Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
300 posix.scm, networking.scm: new files. Move definitions from
301 boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
303 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
305 1999-09-17 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
307 * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
310 * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
311 (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
313 * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
315 1999-09-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
317 * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
318 Mark module with :no-backtrace.
319 ("position"): New command.
320 (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
321 (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
322 (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error. (Commands are expected
323 to return a valid state.)
324 (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
326 1999-09-16 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
328 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
329 match list and an empty match list identically. (Thanks to Greg
332 1999-09-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
334 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
335 `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
337 1999-09-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
339 * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
341 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
343 * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
344 (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
346 * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
347 display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
348 (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
350 ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
353 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
355 * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
356 slib:form-feed and slib:tab. (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
358 * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
360 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
362 * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
363 readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
364 (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
365 this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
367 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
370 * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
371 both forward and backward views of the stack
372 (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
373 Use selector `frame-number';
374 (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
375 ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
377 Use readline conditionally.
379 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
381 * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
382 (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
383 list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
385 * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
386 the end of the item list actually causes a tail call. (Thanks to
389 1999-09-11 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
391 * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
393 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
395 * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
397 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
399 1999-09-11 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
401 Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
402 with the configuration date of ice-9. This test yields too many
403 false positives to be helpful. For example, if you build Guile
404 for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
405 directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
406 architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
407 don't match. Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
408 * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
409 libguile-config-stamp.
410 * version.scm.in: Delete.
411 * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
412 (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
413 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
414 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
416 1999-09-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
418 * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
419 written by Chris Hanson. (The debugger isn't finished, but is
420 included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
422 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
423 session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
424 top-repl is called. This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
425 what it was before... Removed redundant code for loading of
428 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
430 1999-08-29 Keisuke Nishida <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
432 * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
434 1999-08-24 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
436 * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
437 (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
439 1999-08-20 James Blandy <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
441 Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
442 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
443 read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
444 Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
445 objects starting with '#/'.
447 1999-08-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
449 GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
450 system. Here's a simple version for the old module system:
451 * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
452 module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
453 set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
454 (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
456 (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
457 module-modified): New procedures.
458 (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
459 module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
461 1999-07-29 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
463 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
466 1999-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
468 * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
469 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
470 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
472 * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
475 1999-06-29 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
477 * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
478 at multiple calls to read.
479 (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
480 (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
481 (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
482 continued-lines prompt.
484 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
487 1999-06-18 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
489 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
490 `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
492 1999-06-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
494 * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
495 split-discarding-predicate): Make these public. (Thanks to
498 1999-06-13 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
500 * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
501 that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
503 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
504 of file and set the eof? argument appropriately. call
505 expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
506 * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
507 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
510 1999-06-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
512 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
513 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
515 Fixes for expect from Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
517 * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'. I don't
518 know why it was missing. also don't peek for end of lines
519 unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
520 (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
522 Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
524 1999-04-01 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
526 * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey. use a guardian
527 and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
528 collected or closed with close-port. use a weak hash-table instead of
531 1999-03-20 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
533 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
534 (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char. this has
535 the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
536 disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
537 from the port when it may not be needed. hence:
538 (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
539 flags for regexp-exec. if this includes regexp/noteol, then
540 automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
541 is enabled. default is regexp/noteol.
542 (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
543 flags for make-regexp. default is regexp/newline.
545 1999-03-15 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
547 * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
548 peeked from the stream.
549 (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
550 (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
551 to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
553 1999-02-26 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
555 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
556 (error-catching-loop): likewise.
558 1998-12-23 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
560 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
561 consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object. Allows
562 exiting repl with single control-D.
564 1998-12-06 Gary Houston <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
566 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
567 error catching loop after quit received.
568 (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
570 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
571 primitive exit if non-interactive.
572 force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
574 * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
575 * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
577 * popen.scm: new file.
579 1999-06-04 Dirk Herrmann <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
581 * boot-9.scm (iota): replaced by a tail recursive version.
582 (reverse-iota): removed.
584 1999-06-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
586 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
587 non-optional-args. (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
589 1999-05-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
591 * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
592 (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
593 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
594 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
595 * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
597 1999-05-02 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
599 * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
601 * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
602 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
604 * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
605 Guile's module system.
607 * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
609 (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
610 a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
611 list. This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
612 error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form. The other
613 clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
614 (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
616 (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
617 '() when the condition is false.
619 1999-04-17 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
621 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
623 1999-04-08 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
625 * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
627 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
629 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
630 :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
631 (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
633 1999-03-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
635 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
636 argument order for hash-fold.
638 1999-03-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
640 * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure. Broken out from
642 (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
643 deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
645 This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
646 load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
647 actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
648 has been added to the load path).
652 1999-03-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
654 * session.scm (system-module): New procedure. Used to switch a
655 module between system and user state.
657 1999-03-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
659 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
661 * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
664 1999-03-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
666 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
667 associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
668 system can create a wrapper class for it.
670 1999-03-12 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
672 Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
673 specifier, #t, for the inner cut. If the inner cut is specified
674 by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
675 recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
676 stack frame encountered.
678 This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
679 `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
680 any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
681 on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
684 Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
685 that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
686 spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
687 system will be replaced. But if people have better ideas, then
690 System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
691 define-module switches:
696 Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
699 A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
700 associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
701 from a user module. If it can be proven to come from a system
702 module it is a system frame.
704 Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
705 away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
706 stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
707 user frame encountered. (Note that the first user frame
708 encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
710 In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
711 frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames. The
712 following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
713 over application frames where the operator is marked by the
714 `system-procedure' property. (This has been used to cut away
715 generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
717 * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
719 Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
720 (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
722 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
723 (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
724 closure to the module.
726 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
728 1999-03-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
730 * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
732 1999-02-16 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
734 * optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.
736 1999-02-15 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
738 Fix from Russ McManus:
739 * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
740 value-required? field for options that take optional values.
741 (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
742 either an optional or required value.
744 1999-02-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
746 * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
748 * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
749 of the '() key, not `rest'.
751 A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
752 * getopt-long.scm: New file.
753 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
754 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
756 1999-02-09 Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
758 * optargs.scm: New file.
759 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
760 not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
762 1999-02-06 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
764 * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
765 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
766 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
768 1999-01-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
770 * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
771 the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
774 1998-12-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
776 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
778 1998-12-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
780 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
781 1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
782 applied to the module itself.
784 1998-12-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
786 * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
788 * setf.scm: Removed. 1. It was buggy. 2. It was unschemey.
789 (These shortcomings were my fault.)
791 1998-12-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
793 * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.
795 1998-12-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
797 * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
799 1998-12-05 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
801 * setf.scm: New file. Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
802 which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
804 1998-12-02 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
806 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
807 :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
808 The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
809 MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
810 among BINDINGS is referenced.
811 (make-autoload-interface): New procedure: Constructs a stand-in
812 for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
814 1998-12-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
816 * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
817 if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
819 1998-12-01 Christian Lynbech <chl@tbit.dk>
821 * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
822 sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
825 1998-11-27 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
827 * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
829 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
831 * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
833 1998-11-26 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
835 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
836 code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
837 adapt to the new hooks.
839 1998-11-23 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
841 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
842 interface is set to the module itself. In this way we can use
843 beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
845 (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
846 well if a module does :use-module on itself.
848 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
849 invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
850 been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
851 (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
852 registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
853 function. Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
854 argument. (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
855 (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
856 first to register linked modules.
858 * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
859 registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
860 invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
862 * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
863 (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
864 before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
865 after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
867 * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
869 (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
872 * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
873 libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
874 make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
876 1998-11-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
878 * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
879 object representing the current local evaluation environment.
880 This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
882 1998-11-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
884 * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax. Similar to begin but returns
885 a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
886 result of the last form.
888 1998-11-10 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
890 * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
893 * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
895 * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
896 readline-set!: New options interface.
898 * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
900 1998-11-05 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
902 * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
903 at the end of boot-9.scm.
905 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
907 * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
908 correctly. (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
910 1998-11-01 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
912 * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
914 (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
916 * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
917 history at exit (add to exit-hook).
919 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
921 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
923 1998-10-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
925 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
928 1998-10-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
930 * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
931 r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
933 * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
935 Talked to Stallman. Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
937 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
938 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
939 * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
941 * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
942 entering a read-eval-print loop. Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
944 (load-emacs-interface): New function.
945 (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
946 At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
948 We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
949 core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
950 assignments for this code. We can certainly distribute them as a
951 separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
952 * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
953 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
955 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
957 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
958 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
960 1998-10-18 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
962 * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
963 and short vectors #h(...).
965 1998-10-14 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
967 * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
968 set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
969 that syntax a long time ago. (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
971 1998-10-12 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
973 * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
974 testing software-type here. That's the least of our Windows
975 porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
977 1998-10-09 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
979 * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
980 print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
982 * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
983 (eq? #f '()) assumptions. Make functions that aren't documented
984 to return anything else return the queue itself. (Bug report from
985 Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
987 1998-08-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
989 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
992 * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
993 order to allow the empty list as arg.
994 (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
995 context with traps enabled.
997 1998-08-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
999 * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
1001 (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
1003 1998-08-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1005 * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
1006 available. The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
1007 currently dependent upon regular expressions. My change of
1008 1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
1009 module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
1011 1998-07-29 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1013 * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
1014 automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
1016 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1018 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
1020 1998-07-28 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1022 * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file. (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
1024 1998-07-26 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1026 * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
1028 1998-07-21 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1030 * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
1031 after first read line. (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
1033 1998-07-19 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
1035 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
1036 ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
1037 more. The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
1038 any of the standard I/O functions anyway. (Thanks to Andrew
1041 * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
1042 false. Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
1043 list. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
1045 1998-07-16 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1047 * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
1048 bindings from a module. `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
1049 the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
1050 should be exported. It can be used as an alternative to
1051 `define-public'. `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
1052 but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
1053 (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
1055 1998-07-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1057 * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
1059 1998-07-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1061 * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
1062 of module `(guile)'. Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
1063 suitable modules. This change improves Guile stability
1064 substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
1065 module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
1066 affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
1068 1998-06-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1070 * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
1071 themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
1072 loaded as root for relative filenames. (After suggestion by
1075 1998-06-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1077 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
1079 1998-06-14 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1081 * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
1083 1998-06-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
1085 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
1088 1998-06-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1090 * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
1092 1998-06-09 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1094 * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
1095 enabling readline. (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
1097 1998-06-07 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1099 * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
1100 similar in use to `use-modules'.
1101 Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
1102 (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
1104 (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
1105 (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
1107 1998-05-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1109 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
1111 1998-05-13 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1113 * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
1114 possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
1117 * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
1118 19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
1120 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
1121 Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
1122 from repl-read. (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
1124 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
1126 1998-05-11 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1128 * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
1130 * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
1131 Symbolic completion. (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
1133 1998-04-22 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1135 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
1137 1998-04-19 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1139 * nonblocking.scm: Removed. libguile is now inherently
1140 nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
1142 * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
1144 * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed. tcltk.scm has made these
1147 1998-04-15 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1149 * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
1150 (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
1152 1998-03-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1154 * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
1156 1998-03-28 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1158 * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro. (Thanks to Maciej
1161 1998-01-30 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1163 * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
1164 (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler. The most
1165 important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
1166 Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
1167 (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
1170 1998-01-01 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1172 A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
1173 * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
1174 (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
1176 1997-12-24 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1178 * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
1180 * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
1181 (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
1183 1997-12-13 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1185 * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
1186 improved speed. Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
1187 hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
1188 changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
1189 behavior of read-line. On platforms which do not represent
1190 end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
1191 like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
1194 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1196 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
1199 1997-11-28 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>
1201 * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
1202 contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
1203 the shared library name from that file. If the .la file does not
1204 exist, try to link against a .so file. Libtool-generated compiled
1205 modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
1206 (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
1208 Sun Nov 9 06:10:59 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1210 * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
1211 usefully so they will work from a script.
1213 1997-10-31 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1215 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
1216 neighborhood of the record code.
1218 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1220 * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23. It turns
1221 out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
1222 support. It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
1223 worth fixing. I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
1225 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1227 * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
1228 installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
1229 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1231 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1233 Add support for readline function.
1234 * readline.scm: New module.
1235 * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
1236 (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
1237 ourselves. Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
1239 (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
1240 repl-reader to use them.
1241 If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
1243 * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
1245 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1247 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1248 string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
1250 Thu Oct 9 05:44:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1252 * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
1253 expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
1254 (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
1256 Wed Oct 8 03:16:01 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1258 * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive". if
1259 #f, abort terminates the process.
1260 (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
1261 error-catching-loop. the names are from scsh.
1263 1997-10-06 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1265 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
1266 print-state, throw it away.
1268 Fri Oct 3 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1270 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
1273 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
1275 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
1276 set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
1277 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
1278 (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
1280 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
1281 one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
1283 Thu Oct 2 12:00:00 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1285 * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
1287 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1289 Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
1290 * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
1291 This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
1292 * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
1293 string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
1295 * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
1296 distribution and installation.
1297 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1299 Mon Sep 29 23:53:55 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1301 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
1303 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1305 * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
1306 named NAME, then NAME.scm. On error, report the error occuring at
1307 the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
1309 * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
1310 the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
1313 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1315 * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
1317 * boot-9.scm: Define options interface procedures here instead.
1319 Sat Sep 27 20:19:20 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1321 * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
1322 separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
1323 continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
1324 field a separate argument.
1326 * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
1328 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1330 * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
1332 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
1336 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1338 * r4rs.scm (apply): Set name property to 'apply.
1340 Tue Sep 16 22:09:50 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1342 * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
1343 length --> string-length. (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
1344 (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
1345 separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
1346 <mstachow@mit.edu>. Thanks!
1347 (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
1349 (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
1350 corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
1351 (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
1352 registered modules (for example those which have been statically
1353 linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
1356 Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1358 * boot-9.scm (iota): Renamed list-reverse! --> reverse!

1362 * session.scm (name): New procedure: Gives name of object.
1363 (source): New procedure: Gives source of object.
1365 Wed Sep 10 20:12:45 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1367 * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
1369 * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
1370 the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
1371 syncase) has been loaded. This is necessary to get correct
1372 expansion inside the slib module.
1374 * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
1376 (build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.
1377 (self-evaluating?): Add keywords among self-evaluating types.

1382 and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
1384 * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
1385 Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
1386 syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
1388 Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
1389 variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
1392 Fri Sep 5 05:47:36 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
1394 * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
1395 (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
1397 (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
1399 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.
1400 (make-module): Modified initialization.
1401 (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
1402 mutator for module-associated transformer.

1404 `scm:eval-transformer'.
1405 (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
1406 (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current

1412 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
1414 * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
1415 properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
1416 This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
1417 Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
1418 Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
1420 * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
1421 (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
1422 scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
1424 (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
1425 the syncase interface.
1427 Thu Sep 4 14:57:04 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1429 * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
1430 globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
1431 workings of the current module system).
1433 Wed Sep 3 21:29:13 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1435 * psyntax.ss: Updated.
1436 psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut

1447 * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
1448 according to the following priorities:
1449 1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
1450 2. bindings from the-scm-module
1452 This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
1453 disabling the scheme interpreter.
1454 (new-interpreter): New function.
1456 * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
1457 gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
1458 it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).
1460 Thu Aug 28 23:48:53 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1462 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1464 Wed Aug 27 11:35:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
1466 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, so it uses "tar", not "gtar".

1470 * emacs.scm (object->string, format, error-args->string): New
1472 (emacs-frame-eval): Reworked.
1474 Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1476 * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
1477 accumulator with a constant pair. That led to mutation of the
1480 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1482 * session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
1483 (apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
1484 (apropos-internal): New function. Return list of accessible
1485 symbols matching regexp.
1487 * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function. Convert frame
1488 number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
1491 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
1492 non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
1493 Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
1494 (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
1495 (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
1497 (get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
1498 emacs-symdoc): New procedures.
1500 Wed Aug 20 13:21:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1502 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Adjust stack narrowing.

1520 R. Kent Dybvig, Oscar Waddell, Bob Hieb and Carl Bruggeman
1522 Mon Aug 18 21:58:25 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1524 * session.scm: New file: Session support.

1534 * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
1535 that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
1536 (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
1538 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
1539 primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
1542 * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
1543 order to narrow it correctly.
1544 (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

1553 * boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.
1555 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1557 * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
1558 builtin `with-fluids*'.
1560 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1562 * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
1563 *catalog* is #f until the first access. Therefore we call
1564 require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

1579 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1581 Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:

1602 instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
1603 (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
1605 * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
1606 from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
1607 optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
1608 definition. Harmony reigneth? (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
1610 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1612 Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
1613 different version of ice-9. People have been skewing things and
1614 sending in bug reports.
1615 * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
1616 produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
1617 * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
1618 display a warning if the two are different.
1619 * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.

1629 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
1630 check. Correctly check for struct printer tag.
1632 * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
1633 (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
1634 expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
1635 expect-select): Make these public definitions.
1636 (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
1637 regcomp and regexec. We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
1640 * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out. It has no
1641 users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
1644 * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
1645 boolean. This stuff has been true for a while.
1647 * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
1650 * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
1653 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
1655 * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
1658 Fri Jun 6 14:37:18 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1660 * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
1661 vtable and not the one of the struct.
1663 Wed Jun 4 23:27:16 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1665 * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
1666 make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
1667 to support printing of structures.
1668 (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
1669 function and initialize it with something appropriate. Removed
1670 commented out printing code.
1671 (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
1672 (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
1674 Tue Jun 3 17:04:18 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1676 * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
1678 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1680 * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
1681 don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
1682 top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
1683 during call to scm-style-repl.
1685 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1687 * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
1688 basic-load. This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
1689 source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
1690 make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require. If this
1691 breaks something, please let me know. Maybe this is real dumb.
1693 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1695 * regex.scm: Add a module declaration. Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
1696 * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
1699 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
1701 * regex.scm: New file.
1702 * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
1703 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1705 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
1707 * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,
1708 gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
1709 oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
1710 threads.scm: New address for FSF.
1712 Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1714 * debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
1717 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1719 * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
1720 and use a floating point timeout when calling select. Untested,
1721 since the regex library is currently AWOL.
1723 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1725 * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
1726 implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
1729 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1731 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1733 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1735 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
1737 Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1739 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
1740 current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
1743 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1745 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
1746 consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
1747 avoid screwing up GDB. More detail in comments.
1749 Mon May 5 13:18:38 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1751 * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
1752 the Scheme code like code yet.
1753 * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
1755 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1757 * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
1758 dynamic-link and dynamic-call. When the shared library exists it
1759 is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
1761 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1763 * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
1765 (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
1768 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1770 * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
1772 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1774 * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
1776 * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
1777 we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
1778 * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
1780 Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1782 Get 'make dist' to work again.
1783 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
1784 * Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.
1786 Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
1788 * configure.in, configure: Removed.
1789 * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
1791 Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
1793 * boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
1796 Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1798 * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
1800 Tue Apr 1 17:46:49 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1802 * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
1803 arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).
1805 Mon Mar 31 03:23:19 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1807 * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
1808 instead of in libguile.
1809 (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
1810 (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
1812 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1814 * boot-9.scm (netent:addrtype, servent:port): added missing
1816 (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.
1817 (utsname:sysname etc.): new accessors for uname.
1819 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1821 * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
1822 sockaddr:port): new functions.
1824 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1826 * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
1827 by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
1828 passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
1829 and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
1831 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1833 * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
1834 setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
1836 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1838 * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.
1840 Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1842 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
1843 keywords and symbols.
1845 Sat Mar 8 04:32:44 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1847 * slib.scm: update read usage.
1849 * r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
1850 Don't define read-sharp.
1852 * boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
1853 (read-sharp): removed.
1854 Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
1855 case_i or read-sharp arguments.
1857 Sat Mar 8 00:07:54 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1859 * boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.
1861 * debug.scm: Removed `display-application'. (Replaced by
1862 primitive procedure.)
1864 * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
1865 interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
1867 Thu Mar 6 07:26:34 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1869 * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
1871 Wed Mar 5 20:30:24 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1873 * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
1875 Sun Mar 2 19:47:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1877 * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
1879 * (exit): alias for quit.
1881 Sun Mar 2 05:25:11 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1883 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
1884 return the quit args.
1885 (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
1886 error-catching-repl. Make -quit return its args.
1887 stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
1889 (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
1891 Sat Mar 1 15:24:39 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1893 * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
1895 * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
1896 explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
1898 * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
1899 Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
1901 * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
1902 stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
1905 Sat Mar 1 00:10:38 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1907 * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
1909 * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
1910 (add-hooks!): New macro.
1911 Change hooks to use these functions.
1913 * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature. I add
1914 it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
1915 making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
1917 (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
1918 Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
1919 (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
1920 Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures. The tracing in
1921 Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
1922 procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
1923 This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
1926 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
1927 and exit-frame exceptions.
1929 * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
1930 (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
1931 (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
1932 string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
1933 result; otherwise display "> ".
1934 (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
1936 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
1937 `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
1938 we load r4rs.scm. This is just a temporary fix to make the
1939 repository version runnable.
1941 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1943 * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
1944 recording of source code positions. This was placed there for our
1945 convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
1946 once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
1947 we need it. (These options are normally enabled at the end of
1948 boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
1950 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1952 * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
1953 (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
1955 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
1957 * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
1958 builtin "defined?". It allways examines the slib module.
1960 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1962 * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
1964 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1966 * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
1969 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1971 * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
1972 uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
1974 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
1976 * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed. (A C version now exists in
1979 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1981 * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
1982 read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
1984 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1986 Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
1988 * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1989 init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
1990 find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
1991 try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
1992 dynamic linking of modules.
1993 (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
1994 after failing to load it as Scheme code.
1996 Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
1998 * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
2000 Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2002 * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
2005 * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
2006 the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
2009 Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2011 * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
2012 (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
2013 <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
2015 Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2017 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
2018 typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
2021 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2023 * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
2024 been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
2025 (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
2027 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2029 * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
2030 controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
2031 (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
2032 (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
2034 * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
2035 is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
2036 bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
2037 appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
2038 (such as the-scm-module).
2040 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2042 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
2045 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
2047 * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
2048 * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
2049 * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
2051 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2053 * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
2054 (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
2055 function, use it accordingly.
2057 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2059 It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
2060 function of no arguments.
2061 * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
2062 (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
2063 set-current-module): Uses changed.
2064 (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
2065 root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
2066 set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
2067 (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
2068 *top-level-eval-closure*.
2070 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2072 * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
2073 (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
2075 Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2077 * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2078 aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
2079 debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
2080 *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
2081 beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
2083 Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
2086 The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
2087 now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
2088 sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
2089 `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
2091 Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
2093 Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
2095 The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
2096 If the user wants to see this, he can do
2097 (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
2099 The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
2102 Added `before-read-hook'.
2104 Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
2106 (provide): New function.
2108 (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
2111 (backtrace): New function.
2113 (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
2114 specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
2115 border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
2116 number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
2117 is found in operator position in a frame.
2119 * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
2122 * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
2123 primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
2124 ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
2126 (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
2128 (library-vicinity): Updated.
2130 Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
2132 (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
2134 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2136 * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
2138 * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
2139 try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
2141 * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
2142 so they'll get distributed.
2144 Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
2145 should see as little clutter as possible.
2146 * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
2147 * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
2148 (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
2150 * r4rs.scm: New file.
2151 * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
2152 (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
2153 open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
2154 close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
2155 call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
2156 with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
2157 with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
2158 with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
2159 r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
2161 (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
2162 set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
2164 * test.scm: New file.
2166 * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
2167 present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
2168 idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
2170 * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
2171 =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
2173 * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
2175 (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
2176 call %load-announce.
2178 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2180 * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
2181 stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
2182 stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
2184 (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
2186 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2188 * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
2189 that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
2190 SCSH (which this isn't).
2192 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2194 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2196 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2198 * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
2199 after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
2200 to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
2202 (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
2203 depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
2204 choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
2205 (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
2208 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2210 * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
2212 * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
2214 * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
2215 error-catching-loop.
2216 Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
2217 Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
2218 Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
2220 Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
2221 error-catching-loop.
2223 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2225 * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
2226 (make-module): Rework for readability.
2227 (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
2228 should be '(), not #f.
2230 * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
2231 primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
2233 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2235 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
2236 the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
2239 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2241 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
2242 handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
2243 Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
2244 start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
2246 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2248 * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
2250 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2252 * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
2254 * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
2255 throw-handler-default.
2256 ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
2258 ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
2260 ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
2261 error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
2263 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2265 * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
2266 make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
2267 port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
2268 * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
2270 Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2272 * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
2273 Append "." to the default %load-path.
2274 (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
2275 (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
2277 (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
2278 (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
2279 (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
2280 (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
2283 Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2285 * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
2287 * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
2290 * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
2293 * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
2295 Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2297 * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
2298 the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
2300 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2302 * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
2304 * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
2306 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2308 * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
2309 to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
2310 Don't set up 'error as a key.
2311 Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
2312 (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
2314 (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
2315 basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
2316 try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
2317 they seem redundant.
2318 (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
2319 (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
2320 with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
2321 (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
2322 directly files starting with "/").
2323 (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
2324 (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
2326 (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
2328 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2330 * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
2331 straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
2332 (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
2333 Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
2334 not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
2335 than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
2336 something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
2337 robust to just do it in the C code.
2339 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2341 * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
2342 %try-load itself was the primitive.
2343 (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
2344 Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
2345 (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
2347 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
2349 * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
2350 (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
2351 for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
2353 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2355 * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
2356 system-error, not every kind of error.
2357 (scm-error): new procedure.
2359 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2361 * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
2363 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2365 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
2366 SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
2367 of args are supplied.
2368 (%%system-errors): removed.
2369 (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
2370 ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
2371 %%handle-system-error.
2372 (%%default-error-handler): removed.
2373 (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
2374 Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
2375 (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
2377 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2379 * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
2380 (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
2381 Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
2382 %S (embed an argument using "write").
2384 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2386 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
2387 the empty list if they are #f.
2388 Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
2390 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2392 * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
2394 * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
2395 (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
2396 aborting, just the key and subr.
2397 Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
2398 Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
2399 Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
2401 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2403 * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
2404 resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
2405 dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
2406 operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
2407 local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
2409 Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2411 * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
2412 by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
2413 (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
2414 (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
2416 Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2418 * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
2419 (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
2420 initialize %load-path.
2422 * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
2423 "/", use one to separate it from the file.
2425 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2427 * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
2428 Add the directory named after the version number.
2429 Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
2430 Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
2431 * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
2432 sitedatadir): New definitions.
2433 (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
2434 (install): Create the above directories.
2435 Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
2436 (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
2438 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
2440 Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
2441 Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
2442 in the Makefile directly.
2443 * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
2445 * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
2447 * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
2448 here, where people expect to find them.
2450 Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2452 * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
2453 module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
2455 * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
2457 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2459 * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
2460 weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
2462 Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
2464 * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
2465 Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
2467 * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
2468 weak-key-hash-table.
2470 Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2472 * boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
2473 (move->fdes): adjusted for boolean primitive-move->fdes. return
2474 the modified port, always set revealed count to 1 (SCSH compatible).
2475 (release-port-handle port): from goonix (SCSH compatible).
2476 (%open-file): removed.
2477 (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
2478 modified for open-file change (does not return #f).
2480 Thu Aug 1 02:52:42 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
2482 * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
2483 (manifest): Deleted.
2484 * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
2485 directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
2487 Thu Aug 1 09:00:21 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2489 * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
2490 now that they throw errors directly.
2491 remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
2492 protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
2494 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
2496 * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
2498 Fri Apr 19 13:53:08 1996 Tom Lord <lord@beehive>
2500 * The more things change...
