ice-9/ChangeLog

   1 2005-09-01  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   2
   3         * debugger/utils.scm: Export write-frame-long.
   4
   5 2005-08-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
   6
   7         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): Undone change from
   8         2005-06-10; with the new weak hashtable semantics, cyclic
   9         references are no longer a problem.
  10
  11 2005-07-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  12
  13         * debugger.scm: Remove comments which are now incorrect.
  14
  15         * debugger/Makefile.am (ice9_debugger_sources): Removed
  16         breakpoints.scm, behaviour.scm, trap-hooks.scm.
  17         (SUBDIRS): Removed.
  18
  19         Changes to remove breakpoint support from CVS, as I am now
  20         developing this function outside Guile core.
  21
  22         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  23         trace-finish, step, next): Removed.
  24
  25         * debugger/breakpoints/*: Removed.
  26
  27         * debugger/breakpoints.scm: Removed.
  28
  29         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Remove command definitions for
  30         continue, finish, trace-finish, step and next.
  31
  32         * debugger/behaviour.scm: Removed.
  33
  34         * debugger.scm (debug-stack): Remove GDS related code.
  35
  36 2005-06-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@xs4all.nl>
  37
  38         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): remove
  39         set-procedure-property! closure 'module. Setting this property
  40         causes un-gc-able modules.
  41
  42 2005-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  43
  44         * boot-9.scm (substring-fill!): New, for compatability.
  45
  46 2005-04-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  47
  48         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Moved to C code in list.c
  49
  50 2005-04-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  51
  52         * boot-9.scm (1+, 1-): Moved to numbers.c.
  53
  54 2005-03-08  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  55
  56         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove 'random, need to use the slib code for
  57         that module since guile doesn't provide `random:chunk'.
  58
  59 2005-02-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  60
  61         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): add srfi-55.
  62         (require-extension): add require-extension macro for srfi-55.
  63
  64 2005-01-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  65
  66         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): Use string-for-each, now that function is
  67         in the core.
  68
  69 2005-01-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  70
  71         * boot-9.scm (while): Remove the unquote from do, it breaks with ice-9
  72         syncase.  Reported by Pach Roman.
  73
  74 2005-01-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  75
  76         * arrays.scm, deprecated.scm (uniform-vector-fill!,
  77         make-uniform-vector, make-uniform-array, list->uniform-vector):
  78         Moved from arrays.scm to deprecated.scm.
  79         * arrays.scm, boot-9.scm (array-dimensions): Moved from arrays.scm
  80         to boo-9.scm.
  81         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed arrays.scm.
  82
  83 2005-01-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  84
  85         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-fill!, make-uniform-vector,
  86         make-uniform-array,list->uniform-array): Deprecated for real.
  87
  88 2004-12-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  89
  90         * arrays.scm (make-array, list->array): Removed.
  91         (uniform-vector-fill!): Prepared to be deprecated.
  92
  93 2004-12-22  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  94
  95         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): When creating a new
  96         variable, initialize it to the value of any imported variable with
  97         the given name.  This allows code like (define round round) to
  98         work as expected.
  99
 100         From Antoine Mathys <tonigonenstein@users.sourceforge.net>:
 101
 102         * popen.scm: Support bidirectional communication by making
 103         open-pipe support OPEN_BOTH as second argument and in that case
 104         return a soft input-output port which uses two pipes internally.
 105         Provide open-pipe* to execute programs without using the shell
 106         (and actually base open-pipe on it) and the obvious
 107         open-input-output-pipe.
 108
 109 2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 110
 111         * boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
 112         the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
 113         call, per SRFI-13 spec.
 114
 115 2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 116
 117         * boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
 118         Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
 119         reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
 120         'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
 121         * syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.
 122
 123 2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 124
 125         * arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.
 126
 127 2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 128
 129         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
 130         Removed.
 131
 132 2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
 135         able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
 136         will not.
 137
 138 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 139
 140         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
 141         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
 142
 143 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 144
 145         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
 146         provided by libguile.
 147
 148 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 149
 150         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
 151
 152 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 153
 154         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
 155         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
 156         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
 157         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
 158         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
 159         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
 160
 161 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 162
 163         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
 164         now implemented in C.
 165
 166 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 167
 168         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
 169         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
 170         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
 171         environment.
 172
 173 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 174
 175         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
 176         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
 177         that the bad value gets highlighted.
 178
 179 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 180
 181         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
 182         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
 183
 184         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
 185         support fractions currently.
 186
 187 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 188
 189         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
 190         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
 191         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
 192
 193 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 194
 195         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
 196
 197         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
 198
 199 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 200
 201         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
 202         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
 203         regexp/basic.
 204
 205 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 206
 207         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
 208         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
 209
 210 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
 213
 214 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 215
 216         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
 217         of unmemoize.
 218         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
 219
 220 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 221
 222         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
 223         provides that feature.
 224         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
 225         provides that feature.
 226
 227 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 228
 229         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
 230
 231         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
 232         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
 233         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
 234         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
 235         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
 236
 237 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 238
 239         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 240         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 241         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 242         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 243         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 244         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 245         required by latest slib.
 246         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 247         per slib spec.
 248         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 249         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 250
 251 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 252
 253         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 254         ~{...~} control structure.
 255
 256 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 257
 258         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 259         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 260
 261         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 262
 263         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 264         rationalize, since they now exist.
 265
 266 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 267
 268         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 269         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 270
 271 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 272
 273         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 274         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 275         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 276         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 277         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 278
 279 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 280
 281         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 282         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 283         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 284         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 285
 286 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 287
 288         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 289         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 290         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 291
 292 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 293
 294         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 295         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 296
 297 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 298
 299         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 300
 301 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 302
 303         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 304
 305         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 306
 307 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 308
 309         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 310         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 311         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 312         using separate build directory.
 313
 314 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 315
 316         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 317         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 318
 319 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 320
 321         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 322         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 323
 324 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 325
 326         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 327         accordance with slib spec.
 328
 329         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 330         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 331         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 332         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 333         to depend on expansion environment.
 334
 335 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 336
 337         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 338         being set.
 339
 340 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 341
 342         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 343         Reported by Richard Todd.
 344
 345 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 346
 347         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 348         to depend on expansion environment.
 349
 350         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 351         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 352         longer in the guile core.
 353
 354 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 355
 356         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 357         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 358
 359 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 360
 361         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 362
 363 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 364
 365         * boot-9.scm: Started comment about module system workings.
 366
 367 2003-11-11  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 368
 369         * debugger.scm: Change ui-* calls to gds-*.
 370         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 371         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 372         REPL's backtrace.
 373
 374         * debugger/behaviour.scm (*trap*): New variable, stores trap type.
 375         (before-enter-frame-hook, before-apply-frame-hook,
 376         before-exit-frame-hook): Set here.
 377         (debug-if-flag-set): Passed into flags on debug-stack call.
 378         (at-step, at-next): Changed to debug at frame exit points as well.
 379
 380         * debugger/utils.scm: Big comment added.
 381
 382 2003-10-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 383
 384         * debugger/ui-client.scm: Moved to ../emacs/gds-client.scm.
 385

 407

 416         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 417         ui-continue-async-thread.
 418         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 419         cause following select to pop immediately.
 420
 421 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 422
 423         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 424         progress on new debugging front end).
 425
 426 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 427
 428         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 429         New.

 435
 436         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 437         string, read from it before evaluating.
 438         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 439
 440 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 441
 442         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing

 449
 450 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 451
 452         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 453         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 454         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 455         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 456         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.

 464
 465         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 466         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 467         already locked.
 468         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 469
 470 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 471
 472         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 473         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 474
 475 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 476
 477         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 478         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 479         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 480
 481         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 482         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 483
 484 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 485
 486         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.

 496
 497 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 498
 499         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 500         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.

 503
 504         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!

 515         arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!

 549
 550         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 551         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 552         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 553

 561         and merge-accessors handlers are available also before (oop goops)

 563         handlers without worrying about availability.
 564
 565         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 592
 593         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 594         handler here.

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

 664
 665         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 666         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.

 680         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 681
 682         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this

 692
 693         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 694         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 695         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 696         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 697         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 698         self-evaluating).
 699         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 700         (external-macro): New syntax type.

 709         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 710         created in the correct module.
 711         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 712         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 713         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 714         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 715         created from within psyntax.pp).
 716         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 717         transformation.
 718

 737
 738 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 741         joing-thread.
 742         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 743         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.

 768
 769         * documentation.scm (object-documentation): Added support for

 773
 774         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax):  Re-introduced after accidentally
 775         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.

 779         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 780         following changes:
 781
 782         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 783
 784         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 785         %system-define.
 786
 787         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 788         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 789
 790 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 791
 792         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 793         has been removed from the core.
 794
 795 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 796
 797         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 798         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 799         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 800         'real' macro definitions.
 801
 802 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 803
 804         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 805         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 806
 807 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 808
 809         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 810         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 811
 812 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 813
 814         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 815         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 816
 817 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 818
 819         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 820         change below.
 821
 822         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 823         recording when module is loaded.
 824         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 825
 826 2002-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 827
 828         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Simplify code-generation
 829         code.
 830
 831         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 832         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 833         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 834         readline).)
 835
 836 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 837
 838         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 839         it is not thread-safe.
 840
 841 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 842
 843         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
 844         value will be returned by join-thread.
 845
 846 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 847
 848         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 849         `guile-debugger' package ...
 850
 851         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 852         - see comment in file for more details.
 853         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
 854         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
 855         (debug-stack): New.
 856         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
 857
 858         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 859         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 860         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 861         breakpoint support ...
 862
 863         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.
 864         (make-state): Extend to optionally take flags.

 867         (write-state-short): Rewritten to print out the current source
 868         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 869
 870         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 871         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 872         execution from a breakpoint.
 873
 874         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 875         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 876         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 877         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint
 878         support.
 879
 880         * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add debugger subdirectory.
 881

 883
 884 2002-10-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 885
 886         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 887         should be unnecessary now.
 888
 889 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 890
 891         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 892         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 893         the-root-module.
 894
 895 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 896
 897         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 898         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 899         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 900         unmask-signals.
 901
 902 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 903

 908
 909         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 910         >= 0.
 911
 912 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 913
 914         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 915         limit the signal stack.
 916
 917 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 918

 927         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 928         that we can use define-syntax.

 930
 931 2002-09-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 938 2002-07-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 939

 968         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 969         exponents.
 970
 971 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 977         * gap-buffer.scm: New file.

 998
 999 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1000
1001         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
1002         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
1003         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
1004
1005         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.

1018
1019         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
1020         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
1021         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
1022         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
1023
1024 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1025
1026         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1027
1028         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
1029         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
1030         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
1031
1032 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1033
1034         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

1036
1037 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1038
1039         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
1040         scm_compile_shell_switches.
1041
1042         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
1043         positions.
1044
1045 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1046
1047         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
1048         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
1049         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
1050
1051         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
1052           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

1056           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
1057           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
1058           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
1059           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
1060           exporting bindings.
1061
1062 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1063

1068
1069         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
1070         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
1071         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
1072         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
1073
1074 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1075
1076         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
1077         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

1082

1088
1089         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
1090
1091 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1092
1093         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in

1095
1096 2001-09-08  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1097
1098         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
1099         the `arglist' procedure property.
1100         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
1101         present a more detailed argument list.
1102
1103         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1104
1105 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1106
1107         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
1108         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
1109         Skarda.
1110
1111 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1112
1113         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
1114
1115         (feature?): Deprecated.
1116
1117         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

1128
1129         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
1130         functionality.
1131
1132         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
1133         needed to trick export.
1134
1135 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1136
1137         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

1144
1145 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1146
1147         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1148         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1149         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1150
1151 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1152
1153         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1154         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
1155

1168         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
1169         last-command fluid is not yet set.
1170
1171 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1172
1173         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1174
1175         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
1176         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
1177         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1178
1179 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1180
1181         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1182         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1183
1184 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1185
1186         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
1187         compile-psyntax.scm.
1188
1189 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1190
1191         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
1192         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
1193         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1194         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1195         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1196
1197 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1201         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
1202
1203 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1204
1205         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1206         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1207
1208 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1209
1210         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1211         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1212         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1213         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1214
1215         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1216         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1217         since there aren't definitions for them.
1218
1219         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1220         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1221
1222 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1223
1224         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1225         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1226
1227 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1228
1229         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1230         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1231
1232 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1233
1234         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1235         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1236         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1237
1238 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1239
1240         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1241
1242         * tags.scm: Removed file.
1243
1244 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1245
1246         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1247         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1248
1249         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1250         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1251         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1252         New.
1253
1254 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1255
1256         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1257         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1258
1259 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1260
1261         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1262         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1263
1264         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1265         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
1266         evaluator trap options.)
1267
1268 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1269
1270         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1271
1272 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1273
1274         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.
1275
1276 2001-06-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1277
1278         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1279
1280 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1281
1282         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1283         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1284
1285 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1286
1287         * match.scm:
1288         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1289         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1290         No longer require `pretty-print'.
1291
1292         (slib:error): Delete.
1293         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1294
1295         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1296
1297         * README: New file.
1298
1299         * common-list.scm:
1300         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1301         Add Commentary.
1302         Update copyright.
1303
1304 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1305
1306         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1307         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1308         rdelim) module.  See below.
1309
1310 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1311
1312         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1313         include-deprecated-features is true.
1314
1315 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1316
1317         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1318         unknown objects.
1319
1320         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1321         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1322         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1323
1324         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1325         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1326         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1327         Köppe!
1328
1329 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1330
1331         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1332         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1333         variable, not just a visible one.
1334         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1335         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1336         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1337         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1338         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1339         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1340         variables.
1341         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1342
1343         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1344         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1345
1346 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1347
1348         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1349         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1350
1351 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1352
1353         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1354
1355 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1356
1357         Added exception notice to all files.
1358
1359         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1360         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1361         importing bindings once in a while.
1362
1363 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1364
1365         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1366         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1367         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1368         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1369         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1370         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1371         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1372         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1373         message.
1374         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1375         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1376
1377 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1378
1379         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1380         fix command so that it works.
1381
1382         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1383         to access unbound variables.
1384
1385         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1386         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1387         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1388         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1389         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1390
1391 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1392
1393         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1394         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1395         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1396         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1397         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1398         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1399         argument for process-define-module.
1400         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1401         arguments for process-use-modules.
1402         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1403
1404 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1405
1406         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1407         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1408         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1409         module.
1410
1411         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1412         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1413         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1414
1415         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

1418
1419         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
1420         to feature lists.
1421         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
1422
1423 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1424
1425         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
1426         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
1427
1428 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1429
1430         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
1431         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
1432         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1433
1434 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1435
1436         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1437         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1438
1439         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1440         `display'.
1441
1442 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1443
1444         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1445         * match.scm: Likewise.
1446         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1447         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1448
1449         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1450
1451         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1452
1453         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1454         set-current-module.
1455         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1456         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1457         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1458         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1459         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1460         element list when adding "." to it.
1461         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1462         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1463

1465
1466         * boot-9.scm: (resolve-interface, use-srfis): Small
1467         cleanup; nfc.
1468         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1469         now accepts arg; update callers.
1470         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1471         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1472
1473         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1474         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1475         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1476         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1477         `search-documentation-files'.
1478         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1479         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
1480         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".
1481
1482         * documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation

1490
1491         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
1492         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
1493         (use-srfis): New procedure.
1494
1495 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1496
1497         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
1498         used module's public interface is not available.
1499         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
1500         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
1501
1502 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1503
1504         Merge from mvo-vcell-clenaup-1-branch.
1505
1506         * session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use
1507         the module obarray.
1508         (apropos-fold): Likewise.
1509
1510         * optargs.scm (bound?): Removed.  We should not play games with
1511         the magical undefined value.
1512         (let-o-k-template): Use `#f' instead of the undefined value as
1513         the default default for bindings.
1514
1515         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to
1516         make-undefined-variable, use `variable-set-name-hint!' instead.
1517         (root-module-closure): Removed.
1518         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1519         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
1520         (scm-module-closure): Removed.
1521         (make-root-module): Set the obarray of the module to the
1522         `pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the

1893         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1894         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1895         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1896         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1897         for now.
1898         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1899         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.

1901 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1902
1903         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1904         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1905         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1906         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1907         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1908         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1909         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1910
1911 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1912
1913         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1914         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1915
1916 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1917
1918         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1919         any more.
1920
1921 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1922
1923         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1924         the-root-module.
1925

1929
1930 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1931
1932         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1933         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1934         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1935         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1936         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,

1942         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1943         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1944         make-shared-substring.
1945
1946 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1947
1948         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1949         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1950         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1951         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1952         scm-style-repl.
1953
1954 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1957         and open-output-pipe.
1958
1959 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1960
1961         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1962         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1963         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1964         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1965         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1966         Pirotte for the bug report).
1967         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1968         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1969
1970 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1971
1972         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.

1980
1981         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
1982         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
1983         patch.

1986
1987         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
1988         Jacques A. Vidrine.
1989
1990 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1991
1992         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
1993         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
1994         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
1995
1996         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
1997         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
1998         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
1999         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
2000         actual documentation entries themselves.

2014
2015         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
2016         getter-and-setter-syntax,

2029

2031         `symbol-append'.
2032         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
2033         args.
2034         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
2035         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
2036         even worked...  /mdj.
2037         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
2038         `symbol->string'.
2039         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
2040         semantics.
2041

2067         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
2068         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
2069         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
2070         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
2071         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

2073         * emacs.scm (emacs-symdoc): Parenthesis fix.
2074
2075 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2076
2077         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
2078         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
2079
2080         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
2081         syntactic bindings.
2082
2083         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
2084         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
2085         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)
2086         (eval-in-module): Redefined to be eval and deprecated.
2087

2094
2095         * emacs.scm (emacs-eval-request):
2096         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
2097
2098 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2099
2100         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
2101         definition of module-type.
2102
2103         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
2104
2105         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
2106
2107         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
2108         lines.

2121
2122 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2123
2124         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
2125         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2126
2127 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2128
2129         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2130         for export args.
2131
2132 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2133
2134         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.
2135
2136 2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2137
2138         * common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,

2140         for the hint.
2141
2142         (delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to

2144         tail recursive yet.
2145
2146 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2147
2148         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
2149         and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.
2150
2151         * boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
2152         (export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
2153         (process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
2154         See NEWS.
2155         (scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

2172         implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.
2173
2174 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2175
2176         * session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.
2177
2178         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.
2179
2180         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.
2181
2182 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2183
2184         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2185         '() instead of #f.
2186         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2187         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2188         `the-root-module'.
2189         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2190
2191         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with

2195         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2196         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2197         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2198         (help): Rewritten.
2199
2200         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2201
2202         * documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).
2203
2204 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2205
2206         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.

2212
2213         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2214         `proc-documentation'
2215
2216         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2217         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2218         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2219         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2220         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2221         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2222         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2223         getter...)
2224

2232         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2233         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2234         closure.
2235
2236 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2237
2238         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2239         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2240         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2241         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2242         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2243         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2244         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2245
2246 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2247
2248         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2249         accept complex numbers as parameter.

2252
2253         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2254         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2255
2256 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2257
2258         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2259         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2260         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2261         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2262         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2263         delete-if! when iterating.

2265 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2266
2267         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2268
2269 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2270
2271         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2272
2273 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2274
2275         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2276         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2277         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2278         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2279
2280 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2281
2282         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2283         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2284
2285 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2286
2287         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2288         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2289         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2290         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2291
2292 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2293
2294         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2295         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2296
2297 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2298
2299         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2300         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2301
2302 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2303
2304         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2305         Dirk Hermann!
2306
2307 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2308
2309         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2310         source of the numerous very short changes.
2311
2312 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2313
2314         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2315         public.
2316
2317         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2318         info pages.
2319
2320 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2321
2322         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2323         from slib docs.
2324
2325 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2326
2327         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2328         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2329
2330 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2331
2332         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2333         to string-append.
2334
2335 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2336
2337         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2338         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2339         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2340
2341 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2342
2343         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2344         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2345         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2346         Narazaki for this change.
2347
2348 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2349
2350         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2351         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2352         %S.
2353
2354         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2355         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2356
2357 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2358
2359         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2360         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2361
2362 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2363
2364         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2365         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2366         use define-public to export from the module.
2367
2368 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2369
2370         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2371         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2372         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2373
2374 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2375
2376         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2377
2378 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2379
2380         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2381         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2382
2383 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2384
2385         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2386
2387         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2388
2389         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2390
2391 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2392
2393         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2394         long_long uniform vectors.
2395
2396 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2397
2398         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2399         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2400
2401 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2402
2403         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2404         script to create generated files like this one.
2405
2406 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2407
2408         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2409         available before using getpw and getuid.
2410         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2411         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2412         check for stat.
2413         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2414         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2415         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2416         available.
2417         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2418         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2419         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2420
2421         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2422         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2423
2424         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2425
2426 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2427
2428         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2429         than 'exit-debugger.
2430
2431         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2432         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2433
2434         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2435
2436 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2437
2438         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2439         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2440         ("position"): New command.
2441         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2442         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.

2445         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2446
2447 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2448
2449         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2450         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2451         Badros.)
2452
2453 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2454
2455         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2456         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2457
2458 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2459
2460         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2461

2470         expression.

2474 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2475
2476         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2477         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2478
2479         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2480
2481 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2482
2483         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2484         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2485         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2486         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2487
2488         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2489         argument.
2490
2491         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2492         both forward and backward views of the stack
2493         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2494         Use selector `frame-number';
2495         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2496         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2497         Use (ice-9 debug).
2498         Use readline conditionally.
2499
2500 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2501
2502         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2503         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2504         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2505
2506         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2507         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2508         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2509
2510 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2511
2512         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2513
2514         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2515
2516         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2517
2518         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2519
2520 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2521
2522         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2523         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2524         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2525         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2526         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2527         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2528         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2529         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2530         libguile-config-stamp.
2531         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2532         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2533         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2534         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2535         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2536
2537 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2538
2539         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2540         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2541         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2542
2543         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2544         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2545         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2546         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2547         readline.
2548
2549         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2550
2551 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2552
2553         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2554
2555 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2556
2557         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2558         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2559
2560 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2561
2562         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2563         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2564         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2565         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2566         objects starting with '#/'.
2567
2568 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2569
2570         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2571         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2572         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2573         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2574         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2575         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2576         `observer-id'.
2577         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2578         module-modified): New procedures.
2579         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2580         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2581
2582 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2583
2584         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2585         defines.
2586
2587 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2588
2589         * streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
2590         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
2591         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2592
2593         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
2594         position.
2595
2596 1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2597
2598         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2599         at multiple calls to read.
2600         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2601         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
2602         (set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
2603         continued-lines prompt.
2604
2605         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
2606         reading expressions.
2607

2610         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2611         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2612
2613 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2614
2615         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2616         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2617         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

2619         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2620
2621         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2622         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2623
2624         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2625         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2626         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2627         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2628         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2629         instead of a port.
2630
2631 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2632
2633         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2634         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2635
2636         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2637
2638         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2639         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2640         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2641         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2642
2643         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2644
2645         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2646
2647         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2648         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2649         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2650         an alist.
2651
2652         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2653
2654         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2655         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2656         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2657         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2658         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2659         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2660         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2661         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2662         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2663         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2664         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2665
2666         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2667
2668         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2669         peeked from the stream.
2670         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2671         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2672         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2673
2674         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2675
2676         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2677         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2678
2679         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2680
2681         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2682         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2683         exiting repl with single control-D.
2684
2685         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2686
2687         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2688         error catching loop after quit received.
2689         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2690
2691         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2692         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2693         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2694
2695         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2696         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2697         boot-9.scm.
2698         * popen.scm: new file.
2699
2700 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2701
2702        * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
2703        (reverse-iota):  removed.
2704
2705 1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
2706
2707         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2708         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2709
2710 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2711
2712         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2713         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2714         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2715         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2716         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2717
2718 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2719
2720         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2721
2722         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2723         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2724
2725         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2726         Guile's module system.
2727
2728         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2729         changes:
2730         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2731         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2732         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2733         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2734         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2735         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2736         modern CL behavior.
2737         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2738         '() when the condition is false.
2739
2740 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2741
2742         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2743
2744 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2745
2746         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2747
2748 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2749
2750         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2751         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2752         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2753
2754 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2755
2756         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2757         argument order for hash-fold.
2758
2759 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2760
2761         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2762         resolve-module.
2763         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2764         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2765
2766         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2767         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2768         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2769         has been added to the load path).
2770
2771         Use try-load-module.
2772
2773 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2774
2775         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2776         module between system and user state.
2777
2778 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2779
2780         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2781
2782         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2783         definition.
2784
2785 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2786
2787         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2788         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2789         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2790
2791 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2792
2793         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2794         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2795         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2796         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2797         stack frame encountered.
2798
2799         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2800         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2801         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2802         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2803         list).]
2804
2805         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2806         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2807         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2808         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2809         please tell me!]
2810
2811         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2812         define-module switches:
2813
2814         (define-module (foo)
2815           :no-backtrace)
2816
2817         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2818         modules.
2819
2820         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2821         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2822         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2823         module it is a system frame.
2824
2825         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2826         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2827         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2828         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2829         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2830
2831         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2832         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2833         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2834         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2835         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2836         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2837
2838         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2839         status of a module.;
2840         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2841         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2842
2843         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2844         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2845         closure to the module.
2846
2847         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.
2848
2849 1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2850
2851         * slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.
2852
2853 1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2854

2856
2857 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2858
2859         Fix from Russ McManus:
2860         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2861         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2862         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2863         either an optional or required value.
2864
2865 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2866
2867         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2868
2869         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2870         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2871
2872         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2873         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2874         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
2875         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2876
2877 1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
2878
2879         * optargs.scm: New file.
2880         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2881         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2882
2883 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2884
2885         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2886         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2887         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2888
2889 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2890
2891         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2892         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2893         for isn't loaded.
2894
2895 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2896
2897         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2898
2899 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2900
2901         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2902         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2903         applied to the module itself.
2904
2905 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2906
2907         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2908
2909         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2910         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2911
2912 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2913
2914         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2916 1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2917
2918         * Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.
2919
2920 1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2921
2922         * setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
2923         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2924
2925 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2926
2927         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2928         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2929         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2930         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2931         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2932         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2933         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2934
2935 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2936
2937         * boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
2938         if you don't want the old style hook warnings.
2939
2940 1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>
2941
2942         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2943         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2944         static libraries.
2945
2946 1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2947
2948         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2949
2950 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2951
2952         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2953
2954 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2955
2956         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2957         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2958         adapt to the new hooks.
2959
2960 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2961
2962         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2963         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2964         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2965         code.
2966         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2967         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2968
2969         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2970         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2971         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2972         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2973         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2974         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2975         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2976         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
2977         first to register linked modules.
2978
2979         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
2980         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
2981         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
2982
2983         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
2984         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
2985         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
2986         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
2987
2988         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
2989         to use from C:
2990         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
2991         libguile/feature.c.
2992
2993         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
2994         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
2995         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
2996
2997 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
2998
2999         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
3000         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
3001         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
3002
3003 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3004
3005         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
3006         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
3007         result of the last form.
3008
3009 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3010
3011         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
3012         syncase.scm.
3013
3014         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
3015
3016         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
3017         readline-set!: New options interface.
3018
3019         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
3020
3021 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3022
3023         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
3024         at the end of boot-9.scm.
3025
3026 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3027
3028         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
3029         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3030
3031 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3032
3033         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
3034         interactive session.
3035         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
3036
3037         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
3038         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
3039
3040 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3041
3042         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
3043
3044 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3045
3046         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
3047         read line was empty.
3048
3049 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3050
3051         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
3052         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
3053
3054         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
3055
3056         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
3057         problem.  Duh.
3058         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
3059         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
3060         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
3061
3062         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
3063         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
3064         into...
3065         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
3066         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
3067         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
3068
3069         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
3070         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
3071         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
3072         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
3073         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
3074         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
3075         psyntax.ss.
3076         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3077
3078         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
3079         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3080
3081 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3082
3083         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
3084         and short vectors #h(...).
3085
3086 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3087
3088         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
3089         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
3090         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
3091
3092 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3093
3094         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
3095         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
3096         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
3097
3098 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3099
3100         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
3101         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
3102
3103         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
3104         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
3105         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
3106         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
3107
3108 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3109
3110         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
3111         trace flag.
3112
3113         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
3114         order to allow the empty list as arg.
3115         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
3116         context with traps enabled.
3117
3118 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3119
3120         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
3121         module.
3122         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
3123
3124 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3125
3126         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3127         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3128         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
3129         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3130         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3131
3132 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3133
3134         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3135         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3136
3137 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3138
3139         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3140
3141 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3142
3143         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3144
3145 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3146
3147         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3148
3149 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3150
3151         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3152         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3153
3154 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3155
3156         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3157         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3158         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3159         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3160         Archibald.)
3161
3162         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3163         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3164         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3165
3166 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3167
3168         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3169         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3170         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3171         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3172         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3173         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3174         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3175
3176 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3177
3178         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3179
3180 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3181
3182         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3183         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3184         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3185         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3186         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3187         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3188
3189 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3190
3191         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3192         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3193         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3194         Steven G. Johnson.)
3195
3196 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3197
3198         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3199
3200 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3201
3202         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3203
3204 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3205
3206         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3207         be completed.
3208
3209 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3210
3211         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3212
3213 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3214
3215         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3216         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3217
3218 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3219
3220         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3221         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3222         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3223         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3224         transformer.
3225         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3226         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3227
3228 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3229
3230         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3231
3232 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3233
3234         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3235         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3236         completion.
3237
3238         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3239         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3240
3241         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3242         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3243         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3244
3245         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3246
3247 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3248
3249         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3250
3251         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3252         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3253
3254 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3255
3256         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3257
3258 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3259
3260         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3261         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3262
3263         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3264
3265         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3266         obsolete.
3267
3268 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3269
3270         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3271         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3272
3273 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3274
3275         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3276
3277 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3278
3279         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3280         Stachowiak.)
3281
3282 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3283
3284         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3285         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3286         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3287         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3288         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3289         threads.
3290
3291 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3292
3293         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3294         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3295         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3296
3297 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3298
3299         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3300
3301         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3302         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3303
3304 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3305
3306         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3307         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3308         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3309         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3310         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3311         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3312         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3313         to go here.
3314
3315 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3316
3317         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3318         is now a fluid.

3320 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3321
3322         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3323         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3324         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3325         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3326         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3327         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3328
3329 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3330
3331         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3332         usefully so they will work from a script.
3333
3334 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3335
3336         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3337         neighborhood of the record code.
3338
3339 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3340
3341         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3342         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3343         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3344         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3345
3346 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3347
3348         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3349         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3350         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3351
3352 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3353
3354         Add support for readline function.
3355         * readline.scm: New module.
3356         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3357         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3358         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3359         anything.
3360         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3361         repl-reader to use them.
3362         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3363
3364         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3365
3366 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3367
3368         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3369         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3370
3371 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3372
3373         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3374         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3375         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3376
3377 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3378
3379         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3380         #f, abort terminates the process.
3381         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3382         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3383
3384 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3385
3386         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3387         print-state, throw it away.
3388
3389 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3390
3391         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3392         `0'.

3394 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3395
3396         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3397         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3398         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3399         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3400         user field).
3401         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3402         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3403
3404 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3405
3406         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3407
3408 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3409
3410         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3411         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3412         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3413         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3414         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3415         boot-9.scm.
3416         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3417         distribution and installation.
3418         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3423
3424 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3425
3426         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3427         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3428         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3429
3430         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3431         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3432         symbol.
3433
3434 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3442         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3443         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3444         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3445         field a separate argument.
3446
3447         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3448
3449 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3450
3451         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3452
3453         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3454         vicinity;
3455         Provide defmacro.

3462
3463         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3464         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3465         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3466         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3467         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3468         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3469         registered.
3470         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3471         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3472         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3473         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3474         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3475         link a .so-file.

3487
3488         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3489
3490         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3491         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3492         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3493         expansion inside the slib module.
3494
3495         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output

3503         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3504
3505         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3506         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3507         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3508         source.
3509         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3510         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3511         been loaded.
3512
3513 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

3520         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3522         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3523         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3524         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3525         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3526         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3527         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3528         module.
3529         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3530
3531 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3532
3533         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3534
3535         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3536         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3537         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3538         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3539         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3540
3541         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3542         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3543         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3544         syncase macros.
3545         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3546         the syncase interface.
3547
3548 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3549
3550         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3551         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3552         workings of the current module system).
3553
3554 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3555
3556         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3557         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3558         off!
3559

3565
3566 Mon Sep  1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3567
3568         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3569         according to the following priorities:
3570         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3571         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3572         3. tcl bindings
3573         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3574         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3575         (new-interpreter): New function.
3576
3577         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3578         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3579         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3596
3597         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3598         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3599         source!
3600
3601 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3608         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3609         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3610         in stack-ref).
3611
3612         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3613         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3614         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3615         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3616         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3617         result protocol;

3632
3633         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3634         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3635         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3636
3637         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3638

3654
3655         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3656         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3657         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3658
3659         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3660         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3661         the top.
3662
3663         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3664         order to narrow it correctly.
3665         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3666
3667 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3668
3669         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
3670         (dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
3671
3672 Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3676 Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3677
3678         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3679         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3680
3681 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3682
3683         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3684         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3685         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3686
3687 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3688
3689         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3690         automatically.
3691
3692 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3693
3694         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3695         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3696         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3697         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3698         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3699
3700 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3701
3702         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3703         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3704         a default of /.
3705
3706         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3707
3708 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3709
3710         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3711         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3712         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3713
3714         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3715         make-regexp.
3716
3717 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3718
3719         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3720         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3721         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3722         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3723         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3724         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3725
3726         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3727         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3728         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3729         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3730
3731 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3732
3733         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3734         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3735         sending in bug reports.
3736         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3737         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3738         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3739         display a warning if the two are different.
3740         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3741         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3742         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3743
3744 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3745
3746         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3747
3748 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3749
3750         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3751         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3752
3753         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3754         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3755         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3756         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3757         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3758         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3759         that's okay.
3760
3761         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3762         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3763         regexp interface.
3764
3765         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3766         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3767
3768         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3769         function names.
3770
3771         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3772         fixes.
3773
3774 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3775
3776         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3777         ../configure.in.
3778
3779 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3780
3781         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3782         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3783
3784 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3785
3786         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3787         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3788         to support printing of structures.
3789         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3790         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3791         commented out printing code.
3792         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3793         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3794
3795 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3796
3797         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3798
3799 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3800
3801         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3802         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3803         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3804         during call to scm-style-repl.
3805
3806 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3807
3808         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3809         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3810         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3811         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3812         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3813
3814 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3815
3816         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3817         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3818         (ice-9 regex).
3819
3820 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3821
3822         * regex.scm: New file.
3823         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3824         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3825
3826 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3827
3828         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3830         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

3836         in 1997.
3837
3838 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3839
3840         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3841         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3842         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3843
3844 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3845
3846         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3847         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3848         here.
3849
3850 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3851
3852         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3859
3860         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3861         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3862         fixes this too.
3863
3864 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3865
3866         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3867         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3868         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3869
3870 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3871
3872         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3873         the Scheme code like code yet.
3874         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3875
3876 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3877
3878         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3879         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3880         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3881
3882 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3883
3884         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3885         use-modules macro
3886         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3887         can't be found.
3888
3889 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3890
3891         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

3893 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3894
3895         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3896
3897         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3898         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3899         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.

3909         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3910         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3922
3923         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout

3941
3942         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3943         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3944
3945 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3946
3947         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3948         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3949         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3950         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3951

3964         keywords and symbols.
3965
3966 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3989
3990         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
3991
3992 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3993
3994         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
3995
3996 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3997
3998         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
3999         read gets EOF.
4000         * (exit): alias for quit.
4001
4002 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4003
4004         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
4005         return the quit args.
4006         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
4007         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
4008         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
4009
4010         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
4011
4012 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4013
4014         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
4015
4016         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
4017         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
4018
4019         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
4020         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
4021
4022         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
4023         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
4024         of handlers.
4025
4026 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4027
4028         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
4029
4030         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
4031         (add-hooks!): New macro.
4032         Change hooks to use these functions.
4033
4034         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
4035         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
4036         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
4037         the source! :-)
4038         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
4039         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
4040         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
4041         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
4042         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
4043         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
4044         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
4045         traced.
4046
4047         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
4048         and exit-frame exceptions.
4049
4050         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
4051         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
4052         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
4053         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
4054         result; otherwise display "> ".
4055         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
4056
4057         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
4058         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
4059         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
4060         repository version runnable.
4061
4062 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4063
4064         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
4065         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
4066         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
4067         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
4068         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
4069         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
4070
4071 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4072
4073         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
4074         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
4075         and eval.
4076         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
4077         "defined?".
4078         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
4079         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
4080
4081 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4082
4083         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
4084
4085 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4086
4087         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
4088         %read-sharp layer.
4089
4090 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4091
4092         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
4093         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
4094
4095 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4096
4097         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
4098         backtrace.c.)
4099
4100 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4101
4102         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
4103         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
4104
4105 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4106
4107         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
4108
4109         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
4110         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
4111         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
4112         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
4113         dynamic linking of modules.
4114         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
4115         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
4116
4117 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4118
4119         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
4120
4121 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4122
4123         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4124         that's what it is.
4125
4126         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4127         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
4128         was false.
4129
4130 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4131
4132         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4133         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4134         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4135
4136 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4137
4138         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4139         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4140         yet.
4141
4142 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4143
4144         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4145         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4146         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4147
4148 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4149
4150         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4151         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4152         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4153         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4154
4155         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4156         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4157         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4158         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4159         (such as the-scm-module).
4160
4161 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4162
4163         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4164         %search-load-path.
4165
4166 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4167
4168         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4169         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4170         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4171
4172 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4173
4174         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4175         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4176         function, use it accordingly.
4177
4178 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4179
4180         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4181         function of no arguments.
4182         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4183         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4184         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4185         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4186         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4187         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4188         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4189         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4190
4191 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4192
4193         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4194         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4195
4196 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4197
4198         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4199         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4200         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4201         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4202         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4203
4204         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4205         `*features*'.
4206
4207         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4208         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4209         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4210         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4211
4212         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4213
4214         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4215
4216         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4217         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4218         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4219
4220         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4221         error.
4222
4223         Added `before-read-hook'.
4224
4225         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4226
4227         (provide): New function.
4228
4229         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4230         in backtraces.
4231
4232         (backtrace): New function.
4233
4234         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4235         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4236         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4237         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4238         is found in operator position in a frame.
4239
4240         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4241         by default.
4242
4243         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4244         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4245         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4246
4247         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4248
4249         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4250
4251         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4252
4253         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4254
4255 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4256
4257         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4258
4259         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4260         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4261
4262         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4263         so they'll get distributed.
4264
4265         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4266         should see as little clutter as possible.
4267         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4268         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4269         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4270
4271         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4272         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4273         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4274         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4275         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4276         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4277         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4278         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4279         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4280         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4281         that are not.
4282         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4283         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4284
4285         * test.scm: New file.
4286
4287         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4288         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4289         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4290
4291         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4292         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4293
4294         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4295         work now.
4296         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4297         call %load-announce.
4298
4299 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4300
4301         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4302         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4303         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4304         components.
4305         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4306
4307 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4308
4309         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4310         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4311         SCSH (which this isn't).
4312
4313 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4314
4315         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4316
4317 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4318
4319         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4320         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4321         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4322         these.
4323         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4324         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4325         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4326         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4327         save-stack.
4328
4329 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4330
4331         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4332
4333         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4334
4335         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4336         error-catching-loop.
4337         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4338         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4339         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4340
4341         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4342         error-catching-loop.
4343
4344 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4345
4346         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4347         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4348         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4349         should be '(), not #f.
4350
4351         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4352         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.

4355
4356         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4357         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4358         error-signal.
4359
4360 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4361
4362         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4363         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4364         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4365         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4366
4367 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4368
4369         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.

4371 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4372
4373         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4374
4375         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4376         throw-handler-default.
4377         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4378         reported.
4379         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4380         acro.
4381         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4382         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4383
4384 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4385
4386         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4387         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4388         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4389         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4390

4392
4393         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4394         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4395         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4396         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4397         ...))
4398         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4399         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4400         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4401         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4402         file-is-directory?
4403
4404 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4405
4406         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4407
4408         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4409         distribution.
4410
4411         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4412         `switch-repl'.
4413
4414         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4415
4416 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4417
4418         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4419         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4420
4421 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4422
4423         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4424
4425         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4426
4427 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4428
4429         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4430         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4431         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4432         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4433         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4434
4435         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4436         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4437         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4438         they seem redundant.
4439         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4440         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4441         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4442         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4443         directly files starting with "/").
4444         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4445         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4446
4447         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4448
4449 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4450
4451         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4452         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4453         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4454         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4455         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4456         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4457         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4458         robust to just do it in the C code.
4459
4460 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4461
4462         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4463         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4464         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4465         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4466         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4467
4468 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4469
4470         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4471         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4472         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4473
4474 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4475
4476         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4477         system-error, not every kind of error.
4478         (scm-error): new procedure.
4479
4480 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4481
4482         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4483
4484 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4485
4486         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4487         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4488         of args are supplied.
4489         (%%system-errors): removed.
4490         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4491         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4492         %%handle-system-error.
4493         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4494         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4495         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4496         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4497
4498 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4499
4500         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4501         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4502         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4503         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4504
4505 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4506
4507         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4508         the empty list if they are #f.
4509         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4510
4511 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4512
4513         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4514
4515         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4516         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4517         aborting, just the key and subr.
4518         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4519         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4520         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4521
4522 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4523
4524         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4525         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4526         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4527         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4528         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4529
4530 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4531
4532         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4533         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4534         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4535         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
4536
4537 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4538
4539         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4540         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4541         initialize %load-path.
4542
4543         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4544         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4545
4546 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4547
4548         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4549         Add the directory named after the version number.
4550         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4551         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4552         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4553         sitedatadir): New definitions.

4560
4561         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4562         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4563         in the Makefile directly.
4564         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4565         for these.
4566         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4567         aux_files.

4577
4578 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4579
4580         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->

4598         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4599         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

4603         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
4604         (manifest): Deleted.
4605         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a

4607
4608 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4609
4610         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
4611         now that they throw errors directly.

4613         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
4614
