   2
   3         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): Use value of current-reader fluid to

   6 2005-12-14  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
   7
   8         * boot-9.scm (load-module): Support an optional custom reader arg,
   9         implemented by passing on to r4rs's load.
  10
  11         * r4rs.scm (load): Support an optional custom reader arg,
  12         implemented by passing on to primitive-load.

  14 2005-12-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  15
  16         From Stephen Compall.
  17
  18         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-61.
  19
  20 2005-10-27  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>
  21
  22         * networking.scm (sockaddr:flowinfo, sockaddr:scopeid): New functions.
  23
  24 2005-09-01  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  25
  26         * debugger/utils.scm: Export write-frame-long.
  27
  28 2005-08-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  29
  30         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): Undone change from
  31         2005-06-10; with the new weak hashtable semantics, cyclic
  32         references are no longer a problem.
  33
  34 2005-07-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  35
  36         * debugger.scm: Remove comments which are now incorrect.
  37
  38         * debugger/Makefile.am (ice9_debugger_sources): Removed
  39         breakpoints.scm, behaviour.scm, trap-hooks.scm.
  40         (SUBDIRS): Removed.
  41
  42         Changes to remove breakpoint support from CVS, as I am now
  43         developing this function outside Guile core.
  44
  45         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
  46         trace-finish, step, next): Removed.
  47
  48         * debugger/breakpoints/*: Removed.
  49
  50         * debugger/breakpoints.scm: Removed.
  51
  52         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Remove command definitions for
  53         continue, finish, trace-finish, step and next.
  54
  55         * debugger/behaviour.scm: Removed.
  56
  57         * debugger.scm (debug-stack): Remove GDS related code.
  58
  59 2005-06-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@xs4all.nl>
  60
  61         * boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): remove
  62         set-procedure-property! closure 'module. Setting this property
  63         causes un-gc-able modules.
  64
  65 2005-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
  66
  67         * boot-9.scm (substring-fill!): New, for compatability.
  68
  69 2005-04-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  70
  71         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Moved to C code in list.c
  72
  73 2005-04-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  74
  75         * boot-9.scm (1+, 1-): Moved to numbers.c.
  76
  77 2005-03-08  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  78
  79         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove 'random, need to use the slib code for
  80         that module since guile doesn't provide `random:chunk'.
  81
  82 2005-02-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
  83
  84         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): add srfi-55.
  85         (require-extension): add require-extension macro for srfi-55.
  86
  87 2005-01-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  88
  89         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): Use string-for-each, now that function is
  90         in the core.
  91
  92 2005-01-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
  93
  94         * boot-9.scm (while): Remove the unquote from do, it breaks with ice-9
  95         syncase.  Reported by Pach Roman.
  96
  97 2005-01-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
  98
  99         * arrays.scm, deprecated.scm (uniform-vector-fill!,
 100         make-uniform-vector, make-uniform-array, list->uniform-vector):
 101         Moved from arrays.scm to deprecated.scm.
 102         * arrays.scm, boot-9.scm (array-dimensions): Moved from arrays.scm
 103         to boo-9.scm.
 104         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed arrays.scm.
 105
 106 2005-01-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 107
 108         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-fill!, make-uniform-vector,
 109         make-uniform-array,list->uniform-array): Deprecated for real.
 110
 111 2004-12-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 112
 113         * arrays.scm (make-array, list->array): Removed.
 114         (uniform-vector-fill!): Prepared to be deprecated.
 115
 116 2004-12-22  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 117
 118         * boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): When creating a new
 119         variable, initialize it to the value of any imported variable with
 120         the given name.  This allows code like (define round round) to
 121         work as expected.
 122
 123         From Antoine Mathys <tonigonenstein@users.sourceforge.net>:
 124
 125         * popen.scm: Support bidirectional communication by making
 126         open-pipe support OPEN_BOTH as second argument and in that case
 127         return a soft input-output port which uses two pipes internally.
 128         Provide open-pipe* to execute programs without using the shell
 129         (and actually base open-pipe on it) and the obvious
 130         open-input-output-pipe.
 131
 132 2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 133
 134         * boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
 135         the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
 136         call, per SRFI-13 spec.
 137
 138 2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 139
 140         * boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
 141         Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
 142         reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
 143         'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
 144         * syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.
 145
 146 2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 147
 148         * arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.
 149
 150 2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 151
 152         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
 153         Removed.
 154
 155 2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 156
 157         * boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
 158         able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
 159         will not.
 160
 161 2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 162
 163         * arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
 164         arrays, this is done in libguile now.
 165
 166 2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 167
 168         * arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
 169         provided by libguile.
 170
 171 2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 172
 173         * boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.
 174
 175 2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 176
 177         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
 178         object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
 179         Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
 180         by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
 181         printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
 182         (format:iobj->str): Removed.
 183
 184 2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 185
 186         * boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
 187         now implemented in C.
 188
 189 2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 190
 191         * optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
 192         "(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
 193         allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
 194         environment.
 195
 196 2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 197
 198         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
 199         display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
 200         that the bad value gets highlighted.
 201
 202 2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 203
 204         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
 205         itself, not stream-for-each-one.
 206
 207         * time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
 208         support fractions currently.
 209
 210 2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 211
 212         * boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
 213         exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
 214         handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.
 215
 216 2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 217
 218         * format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.
 219
 220         * format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.
 221
 222 2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 223
 224         * regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
 225         using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
 226         regexp/basic.
 227
 228 2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 229
 230         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
 231         spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).
 232
 233 2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 234
 235         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.
 236
 237 2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 238
 239         * debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
 240         of unmemoize.
 241         (write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.
 242
 243 2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 244
 245         * and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
 246         provides that feature.
 247         * receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
 248         provides that feature.
 249
 250 2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 251
 252         From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
 253
 254         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
 255         object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
 256         rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
 257         difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
 258         are now printed in the same way as by `write'.
 259
 260 2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 261
 262         * slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
 263         definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
 264         (t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
 265         (call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
 266         Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
 267         (open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
 268         required by latest slib.
 269         (delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
 270         per slib spec.
 271         (system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
 272         style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.
 273
 274 2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>
 275
 276         * format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
 277         ~{...~} control structure.
 278
 279 2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 280
 281         * and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
 282         * pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".
 283
 284         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.
 285
 286         * safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
 287         rationalize, since they now exist.
 288
 289 2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 290
 291         * slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
 292         about when a define binding comes into existance.
 293
 294 2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 295
 296         * boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
 297         preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
 298         late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
 299         uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
 300         little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.
 301
 302 2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 303
 304         * history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
 305         of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.
 306         (save-value-history): Export the newly defined variable.  Reported
 307         by Wolfgang Jaehrling.
 308
 309 2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>
 310
 311         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the
 312         root module.  This will allow the C equivalent scm_resolve_module
 313         to work, independent of what the current module is.
 314
 315 2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 316
 317         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
 318         (ice-9 r5rs) module.
 319
 320 2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 321
 322         * boot-9.scm (module-map): Renamed hash-map -> hash-map->list.
 323
 324 2004-02-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 325
 326         * debugger/trap-hooks.scm (debug-hook-membership): New, exported.
 327
 328         * debugger/commands.scm (debug-trap-hooks): New, exported.
 329
 330 2004-02-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 331
 332         * debugger/breakpoints/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES),
 333         debugger/Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES), Makefile.am (TAGS_FILES): Use
 334         this variable instead of ETAGS_ARGS so that TAGS can be built
 335         using separate build directory.
 336
 337 2004-01-20  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 338
 339         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Back out 2003-11-19 change to
 340         lazy-handler-dispatch lookup.
 341
 342 2004-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 343
 344         * mapping.scm: Use '#:' prefix for keywords instead of ':'.
 345         Thanks to Richard Todd!
 346
 347 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 348
 349         * slib.scm (system): New function, giving an exit code return in
 350         accordance with slib spec.
 351
 352         Revert this, it breaks test-suite/tests/r5rs_pitfalls.test where
 353         false-if-exception is used within syntax-rules.  (Suspect syntax-rules
 354         ought to support this sort of thing, but it doesn't right now.)
 355         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 356         to depend on expansion environment.
 357
 358 2004-01-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 359
 360         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): Use with-fluid* when only one fluid is
 361         being set.
 362
 363 2004-01-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 364
 365         * q.scm (q-pop!): Should be "null?" not "not" for end-of-list.
 366         Reported by Richard Todd.
 367
 368 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 369
 370         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): Unquote catch and lambda, so as not
 371         to depend on expansion environment.
 372
 373         * slib.scm (-1+, <?, <=?, =?, >?, >=?): Define as aliases for 1-, <,
 374         <=, =, >, >= respectively, required by slib 'rev2-procedures but no
 375         longer in the guile core.
 376
 377 2003-11-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 378
 379         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Defer lookup of
 380         lazy-handler-dispatch.
 381
 382 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 383
 384         * boot-9.scm (@, @@): New macros.
 385
 386 2003-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 387

 393         (debug-on-error): Debug if throw key is in specified syms, not if
 394         it isn't!  Also throw 'abort after debugging, so as to skip the
 395         REPL's backtrace.
 396

 430

 436
 437         * debugger/ui-client.scm (ui-disable-async-thread,
 438         ui-continue-async-thread, start-async-ui-thread): New.
 439         (ui-command-loop): Call ui-disable-async-thread and
 440         ui-continue-async-thread.
 441         (handle-instruction): Read terminating newline char so it doesn't
 442         cause following select to pop immediately.
 443
 444 2003-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 445
 446         * debugger/ui-client.scm, debugger/ui-server.scm: New (work in
 447         progress on new debugging front end).
 448
 449 2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 450
 451         * debugger.scm (default-default-lazy-handler, debug-on-error):
 452         New.
 453
 454         * debugger/behaviour.scm (debug-if-flag-set): Display debug entry
 455         messages through (debugger-output-port).
 456         (after-exit-frame-hook): Trace through (debugger-output-port).

 458
 459         * debugger/commands.scm (evaluate): If supplied expression is a
 460         string, read from it before evaluating.
 461         (evaluate): Change output format to "EXPR => VALUE".
 462
 463 2003-09-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 464
 465         * popen.scm (open-process): Correction to previous fdes closing

 469
 470         * format.scm (format): Rewritten as a big letrec to make it

 472
 473 2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 474
 475         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
 476         follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
 477         normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
 478         it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
 479         uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.

 482
 483         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as

 487
 488         * format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
 489         'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have
 490         already locked.
 491         (format:format-work): Flag multiple '#' as an error.
 492
 493 2003-08-17  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 494
 495         * boot-9.scm (while): Use a new key dynamically for each loop, so
 496         break and continue associate to their loop even when recursing.
 497
 498 2003-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 499
 500         * boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
 501         without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
 502         don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.
 503
 504         * popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
 505         error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.
 506
 507 2003-06-19  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 508
 509         * threads.scm (parallel): For no forms, use `(values)' not `(begin)'.
 510

 517
 518         * deprecated.scm (list*): Added.
 519
 520 2003-05-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 521
 522         * documentation.scm (file-commentary, find-documentation-in-file): Use
 523         call-with-input-file, to close ports when done.
 524

 526
 527         * gap-buffer.scm (point++n!, point+-n!): Use substring-move!

 532         New.
 533
 534         * boot-9.scm (display-usage-report): Use keyword->symbol instead

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

 572
 573         * format.scm (format:out-substr): Update the column counter
 574         correctly. This fixes the behavior of ~T (tabbing) after ~F, for
 575         instance.  Thanks to Matthias Koeppe!
 576
 577 2003-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 578

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

 586         handlers without worrying about availability.
 587
 588         * slib.scm (logical:ipow-by-squaring): Removed.

 615
 616         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't install the duplicates
 617         handler here.
 618         (default-duplicate-binding-handler): Renamed from
 619         default-module-duplicates-handler; Removed converter.

 623 2003-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>
 624

 626
 627 2003-03-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 628
 629         * debugger/command-loop.scm: Prefix all commands imported from

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

 668
 669         * boot-9.scm (make-module): Changed default size from 1021 to 31
 670         (since the size now adapts).

 685
 686 2003-01-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 687
 688         * syncase.scm (guile-macro): Strip syntactic information from
 689         expression before trying to treat it as a Guile macro call.

 702
 703         * occam-channel.scm (alt): New syntax.
 704
 705         * psyntax.ss (self-evaluating?): Removed.  Guile now provides this
 706         operator as a primitive procedure.

 715
 716         * psyntax.ss (build-data): Don't quote self-evaluating expressions
 717         in output.  (We normally *would* like also these expressions to be
 718         quoted, but until Guile's native macros and syncase cooperates
 719         better, it is less destructive not to quote.)
 720         (self-evaluating?): Removed null? (In Guile, the empty list is not
 721         self-evaluating).
 722         (sc-chi): Export chi as sc-chi.
 723         (external-macro): New syntax type.

 732         the-syncase-eval-closure during booting so that variables are
 733         created in the correct module.
 734         (syncase): Set expansion-eval-closure.
 735         (define-syntax define-syntax-public eval-when fluid-let-syntax
 736         identifier-syntax let-syntax letrec-syntax syntax syntax-case
 737         syntax-rules with-syntax include): Removed definitions (these are
 738         created from within psyntax.pp).
 739         Enable expansion of Guile macros during a syntax-case
 740         transformation.
 741

 760
 761 2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>
 762
 763         * threads.scm (par-map, par-for-each): Reimplemented using
 764         joing-thread.
 765         (parallel): Reimplemented using futures.
 766         (n-par-map, n-for-each): New procedures.
 767
 768 2002-12-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 771         (parse-arglist): Use it instead of list-copy.
 772
 773 2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

 798         removing it in my patch from 2002-11-16.
 799

 801
 802         Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for a bugreport which led to the
 803         following changes:
 804
 805         * slib.scm (%system-define): Removed.
 806
 807         (define): Changed to use define-private instead of
 808         %system-define.
 809
 810         * boot-9.scm (define-private): Undid my changes from 2002-11-16
 811         until Guile supports hygienic macros.
 812
 813 2002-11-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 814
 815         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Locally define `read-and-eval!', as it
 816         has been removed from the core.
 817
 818 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 819
 820         * syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
 821         identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,
 822         syntax-rules, with-syntax, include):  Changed definitions to form
 823         'real' macro definitions.
 824
 825 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 826
 827         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 828         Fixed my previous fix (blush).
 829
 830 2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
 831
 832         * boot-9.scm (define-private, export-syntax, export-syntax):
 833         Changed definitions to form 'real' macro definitions.
 834
 835 2002-11-07  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 836
 837         * format.scm (format): Use 'monitor' properly.  Not the definition
 838         needs to be restricted, the actual function needs to be.
 839
 840 2002-11-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 841
 842         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface): Fix to "simplification"
 843         change below.
 844
 845         * debugger/breakpoints/source.scm: Enable source property
 846         recording when module is loaded.
 847         (##): Cope with ports whose `filename' is not a string.
 848

 852         code.
 853
 854         * debugger/command-loop.scm (read-and-dispatch-command): Import
 855         set-readline-prompt dynamically if we need to.  (Previous
 856         arrangement didn't work if this module was loaded before (ice-9
 857         readline).)
 858
 859 2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 860
 861         * format.scm (format): Wrap a monitor around format:format since
 862         it is not thread-safe.
 863
 864 2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 865
 866         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Explicitely return '#f'.  This
 867         value will be returned by join-thread.
 868
 869 2002-10-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 870
 871         Merging debugger enhancements previously in separate
 872         `guile-debugger' package ...
 873
 874         * debugger.scm: Factored out into the following constituent parts
 875         - see comment in file for more details.
 876         (*not-yet-introduced*): New (avoids repeatedly introducing the
 877         debugger when entering it from breakpoints).
 878         (debug-stack): New.
 879         (debug): Rewrite to use more general `debug-stack'.
 880
 881         * debugger/commands.scm, debugger/command-loop.scm,
 882         debugger/state.scm, debugger/utils.scm: New files containing bits
 883         of old (ice-9 debugger), plus some rewriting and enhancements for
 884         breakpoint support ...
 885
 886         * debugger/state.scm (state-rtd): Add flags field.

 891         location in a way that is more easily trackable by Emacs.
 892
 893         * debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
 894         trace-finish, step, next): New debugger commands for continuing
 895         execution from a breakpoint.
 896
 897         * debugger/behaviour.scm, debugger/breakpoints.scm,
 898         debugger/breakpoints/procedural.scm,
 899         debugger/breakpoints/range.scm, debugger/breakpoints/source.scm,
 900         debugger/trap-hooks.scm, debugger/trc.scm: New files - breakpoint
 901         support.

 908
 909         * threads.scm (%thread-handler): Do not call unmask-signals, that
 910         should be unnecessary now.
 911
 912 2002-10-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
 913
 914         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Look for use-emacs-interface in
 915         guile-user-module (should it be there?) instead of
 916         the-root-module.
 917
 918 2002-10-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 919
 920         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use 2 as the limit when saving the stack.
 921         (error-catching-loop): use call-with-blocked-asyncs and
 922         call-with-unblocked-asyncs instead of mask-signals and
 923         unmask-signals.
 924
 925 2002-10-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 926

 931
 932         * boot-9.scm (expt): switch if sense and use negative? rather than
 933         >= 0.
 934
 935 2002-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 936
 937         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use "1" instead of "%deliver-signals" to
 938         limit the signal stack.
 939
 940 2002-09-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
 941
 942         * boot-9.scm (feature?): Added deprecation message.

 949
 950         * syncase.scm: Set the module transformer of the-syncase-module so
 951         that we can use define-syntax.
 952         (define-syntax-public): New and exported.
 953
 954 2002-09-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

 962

 989
 990         * format.scm (format:fn-max): Increase to 400 so ~f and ~g can
 991         print long real numbers with large positive and negative
 992         exponents.
 993
 994 2002-05-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1008

1022 2002-02-24  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1023
1024         * syncase.scm (gensym): redefine locally so we can control it's
1025         properties.  This is in preparation for changing the future public
1026         gensym to produce unreadable symbols.
1027
1028         * psyntax.pp: updated to reflect new syncase.scm.
1029

1041
1042         * psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
1043         datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
1044         syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
1045         unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!
1046
1047 2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1048
1049         More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1050
1051         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): New per-line-prefix argument.
1052         (pretty-print): Check whether the new keyword argument style is
1053         used and dispatch to pretty-print-with-keys accordingly.
1054
1055 2001-11-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1056
1057         * format.scm (string-index, list-head): Removed, we already have

1059

1061
1062         * boot-9.scm (turn-on-debugging): New function, to be used by
1063         scm_compile_shell_switches.
1064
1065         * debug.scm: Do not enable debugging and recording of source
1066         positions.
1067
1068 2001-10-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1069
1070         * slib.scm (array-indexes): New procedure.
1071         (*features*): Extend.  (Probably some of these options should be
1072         set elsewhere.)  (Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer.)
1073
1074         * and-let-star-compat.scm, and-let-star.scm, calling.scm,
1075           channel.scm, common-list.scm, debug.scm, debugger.scm,

1079           safe.scm, session.scm, slib.scm, streams.scm, string-fun.scm,
1080           syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
1081           `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'
1082           into the `define-module' form.  This is the recommended way of
1083           exporting bindings.
1084
1085 2001-10-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1086

1090 2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1091
1092         * arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
1093         of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
1094         the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
1095         interfering with parsing of numbers.)
1096
1097 2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>
1098
1099         * emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,
1100         %%emacs-select-frame, %%emacs-frame-eval, %%emacs-symdoc,

1102         builtin-variable.
1103

1105
1106         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added :re-export.
1107
1108 2001-09-19  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
1109

1111
1112         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): Fix typo.
1113
1114 2001-09-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
1115
1116         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Reference compile-psyntax.scm in

1120
1121         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Record the broken-down argument list in
1122         the `arglist' procedure property.
1123         * session.scm (arity): Use new `arglist' procedure property to
1124         present a more detailed argument list.
1125
1126         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1127
1128 2001-09-07  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1129
1130         * getopt-long.scm (process-options, getopt-long): Fix omission
1131         bug: Handle multiple occurrances of an option.  Thanks to Daniel
1132         Skarda.
1133
1134 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1135
1136         * boot-9.scm: Don't load module (ice-9 rdelim).
1137
1138         (feature?): Deprecated.
1139
1140         (id, -1+, return-it, string-character-length, flags,

1151
1152         (try-load-module, use-syntax, module-export!): Remove deprecated
1153         functionality.
1154
1155         * format.scm:  Remove deprecated definition of format that was
1156         needed to trick export.
1157
1158 2001-08-31  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1159
1160         * optargs.scm:  Remove #& reader extension.

1168 2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1169
1170         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): When returning a custom
1171         interface, also consult source module's entire binding set,
1172         not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.
1173
1174 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1175
1176         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
1177         interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.
1178
1179 2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1180
1181         * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

1190
1191         * debugger.scm (run-last-command): Return current state if
1192         last-command fluid is not yet set.
1193
1194 2001-08-02  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1195
1196         * getopt-long.scm: Refill to fit in 80 columns.
1197
1198         (process-long-option): Fix bug: Keep track of `optional'
1199         value-required info and use this to determine whether or not the
1200         next element is to be taken as the option arg.
1201
1202 2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>
1203
1204         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
1205         handle :use-syntax correctly.
1206
1207 2001-07-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1208
1209         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): Removed, it is now in
1210         compile-psyntax.scm.
1211
1212 2001-07-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1213
1214         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Enable rule for psyntax.pp only in
1215         maintainer mode.  Use compile-psyntax.scm for actual compilation.
1216         Make sure the uninstalled guile is used.
1217         (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute compile-psyntax.scm
1218         * compile-psyntax.scm: New file.
1219
1220 2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

1224         receive.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, streams.scm: Updated copyright notice.
1225
1226 2001-07-17  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1227
1228         * r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1229         primitives.  Thanks Neil!
1230
1231 2001-07-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1232
1233         * safe-r5rs.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for
1234         re-exported core bindings.  Do not re-export `numerator',
1235         `denominator' and `rationalize' since Guile does not have them.
1236         Continue to use `export' for `null-environment'.
1237
1238         * null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
1239         core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
1240         since there aren't definitions for them.
1241
1242         * boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
1243         argument is "renamer" not "rename".
1244
1245 2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1246
1247         * boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
1248         is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.
1249
1250 2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>
1251
1252         * boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
1253         extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.
1254
1255 2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1256
1257         * arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
1258         is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
1259         read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.
1260
1261 2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1262
1263         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed tags.scm.
1264
1265         * tags.scm: Removed file.
1266
1267 2001-06-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1268
1269         Changes to support tracing other than inside the repl-stack that
1270         is set up by the REPL code in boot-9.scm.
1271
1272         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Conditionalize tracing on
1273         whether the current stack id is in `traced-stack-ids'.
1274         (traced-stack-ids, trace-all-stacks?, trace-stack, untrace-stack):
1275         New.
1276
1277 2001-06-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1278
1279         * common-list.scm (member-if): Put in docstring for member-if, it
1280         was a cut-n-paste error previously.
1281
1282 2001-06-26  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1283
1284         * debug.scm (trace): Set evaluator trap options to handle tracing.
1285         Don't reset trace-level to 0.
1286
1287         * boot-9.scm (lazy-handler-dispatch): Remove enter-frame-handler,
1288         apply-frame-handler and exit-frame-handler.  (They're replaced by
1289         evaluator trap options.)
1290
1291 2001-06-25  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
1292
1293         * streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): typo fix.
1294
1295 2001-06-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1296
1297         * boot-9.scm (re-export-syntax): New.

1300
1301         * boot-9.scm (system-error-errno): New.
1302
1303 2001-06-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1304
1305         * common-list.scm (remove-if, remove-if-not): Fix typo: use
1306         `pred', not `pred?', in the body.
1307
1308 2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1309
1310         * match.scm:
1311         No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.
1312         Use module `(ice-9 pretty-print)'.
1313         No longer require `pretty-print'.
1314
1315         (slib:error): Delete.
1316         (match:error, match:syntax-err): Rewrite.
1317
1318         Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1319
1320         * README: New file.
1321
1322         * common-list.scm:
1323         Clean up some docstrings; nfc.
1324         Add Commentary.
1325         Update copyright.
1326
1327 2001-06-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1328
1329         * boot-9.scm: Use `begin-deprecated' instead of testing
1330         `include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
1331         rdelim) module.  See below.
1332
1333 2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1334
1335         * boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
1336         include-deprecated-features is true.
1337
1338 2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1339
1340         * pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print
1341         unknown objects.
1342
1343         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
1344         real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
1345         Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1346
1347         * format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
1348         (format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
1349         `port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
1350         Köppe!
1351
1352 2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1353
1354         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
1355         `module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
1356         variable, not just a visible one.
1357         (module-ensure-variable!): See above.
1358         (module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
1359         enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
1360         deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
1361         creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
1362         (module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
1363         variables.
1364         (re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.
1365
1366         * format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
1367         re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.
1368
1369 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1370
1371         * boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface
1372         instead of resolve-module to get at the used module.
1373
1374 2001-06-04  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1375
1376         * rw.scm: export write-string/partial.
1377
1378 2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1379
1380         Added exception notice to all files.
1381
1382         * boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
1383         caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
1384         importing bindings once in a while.
1385
1386 2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1387
1388         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
1389         and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.
1390         (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
1391         registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,
1392         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call, dynamic-maybe-link,
1393         find-and-link-dynamic-module, try-using-libtool-name,
1394         try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
1395         try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
1396         message.
1397         (define-public): Define binding before exporting it.  This is to
1398         avoid accidentally re-exporting a imported binding.
1399
1400 2001-06-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1401
1402         * Makefile.am (psyntax.pp): Make it dependent on psyntax.ss and
1403         fix command so that it works.
1404
1405         * session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
1406         to access unbound variables.
1407
1408         * boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
1409         (module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
1410         export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
1411         the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
1412         syncase since it keys important properties on variables.
1413
1414 2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1415
1416         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
1417         When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add
1418         them to guile-user when `top-repl' is called.
1419         (resolve-interface): Expect keyword arguments instead of a `spec'.
1420         (compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
1421         (define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
1422         argument for process-define-module.
1423         (use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
1424         arguments for process-use-modules.
1425         (process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.
1426
1427 2001-05-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1428
1429         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand): Define using
1430         `procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
1431         Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
1432         module.
1433
1434         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added "pretty-print.scm".
1435         * pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
1436         (generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.
1437
1438         * format.scm: Autoload `pretty-print'.

1441
1442         * boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-table): New hash table mapping modules
1443         to feature lists.
1444         (cond-expand): Use feature information associated with modules.
1445
1446 2001-05-21  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
1447
1448         * boot-9.scm (use-srfis): Do not extend the srfi-0 feature list.
1449         (cond-expand-provide): New procedure.
1450
1451 2001-05-22  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1452
1453         * boot-9.scm (define-module): Return the new module.
1454         (process-define-module): Use `spec' instead of `module-name' when
1455         getting the syntax transformer.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!
1456
1457 2001-05-21  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1458
1459         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Do not set scm:eval-transformer when
1460         deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!
1461
1462         * optargs.scm (#\&): Use `issue-deprecation-warning' instead of
1463         `display'.
1464
1465 2001-05-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
1466
1467         * psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gensym instead of gentemp.
1468         * match.scm: Likewise.
1469         * expect.scm: Likewise.
1470         * psyntax.pp: Regenerated.
1471
1472         * rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.
1473
1474         * rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.
1475
1476         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
1477         set-current-module.
1478         (define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
1479         (top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
1480         load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
1481         top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
1482         (%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
1483         element list when adding "." to it.
1484         (process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
1485         dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.
1486

1490         cleanup; nfc.
1491         (process-define-module): Internal proc `unrecognized'
1492         now accepts arg; update callers.
1493         Reverse order of interfaces added to module to be
1494         consistent with that specified in `define-module' form.
1495
1496         * session.scm: (help): Use `provided?' instead of `feature?'.
1497         Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
1498         Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
1499         (help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
1500         `search-documentation-files'.
1501         (apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
1502         instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
1503         (help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".

1513
1514         * boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
1515         so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.

1517
1518 2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>
1519
1520         * boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
1521         used module's public interface is not available.
1522         No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
1523         Signal error now also if selected binding not found.
1524
1525 2001-05-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

1536         the default default for bindings.

1549         (make-modules-in, beautify-user-module, resolve-module): Moved
1550         towards the beginning of boot-9.scm, across the call to
1551         set-current-module that boots the module system.  These

1553         `set-current-module' call.
1554         (try-module-autoload): Define a `#f' before the call to
1555         set-current-module.  It is redefined later.
1556

1897         This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
1898         the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.
1899
1900         * boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
1901         conveniently define a group of option interface functions.
1902
1903         (readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
1904         readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.
1905
1906 2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1907
1908         * boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
1909         in C for now.
1910         * rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
1911         * documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).
1912
1913 2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1914
1915         * rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
1916         * ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
1917         read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
1918         scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
1919         * boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
1920         for now.
1921         * lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
1922         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.
1923
1924 2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1925
1926         * boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
1927         calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
1928         basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
1929         After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
1930         '(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
1931         binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
1932         for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.
1933
1934 2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1935
1936         * session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
1937         half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.
1938
1939 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1940
1941         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
1942         any more.
1943
1944 2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1945
1946         * boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
1947         the-root-module.
1948
1949 2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1950
1951         * emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").
1952
1953 2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1954
1955         * boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
1956         (make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
1957         match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
1958         (slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
1959         split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
1960         split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
1961         split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
1962         split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
1963         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
1964         string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
1965         sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
1966         sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
1967         make-shared-substring.
1968
1969 2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1970
1971         * boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
1972         removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
1973         the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
1974         *values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
1975         scm-style-repl.
1976
1977 2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1980         and open-output-pipe.
1981
1982 2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1983
1984         * popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
1985         close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
1986         it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
1987         in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
1988         method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
1989         Pirotte for the bug report).
1990         standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
1991         are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
1992
1993 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
1994
1995         * syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
1996         Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.
1997
1998 2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1999

2001
2002 2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2003
2004         * session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
2005         accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
2006         patch.
2007
2008 2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2009
2010         * posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
2011         Jacques A. Vidrine.
2012
2013 2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2014
2015         * documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
2016         according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
2017         snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.
2018
2019         * session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
2020         friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
2021         matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
2022         entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
2023         actual documentation entries themselves.

2054         `symbol-append'.
2055         (symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
2056         args.
2057         (obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
2058         think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
2059         even worked...  /mdj.
2060         (find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
2061         `symbol->string'.
2062         (try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
2063         semantics.
2064

2090         * psyntax.ss (top-level-eval-hook, local-eval-hook): Pass
2091         `(interaction-environment)' as second arg to `eval'.  This is
2092         completely equivalent with the state before the change to eval of
2093         2000-08-11, but we should extend psyntax.ss to be module aware.
2094         (Thanks to Ian Bicking.)

2098 2000-08-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2099
2100         * r5rs.scm (interaction-environment): Removed definition.  (Is now
2101         provided by libguile/modules.c.)
2102
2103         * safe-r5rs.scm (null-environment): Bugfix: Should include
2104         syntactic bindings.
2105
2106         * boot-9.scm (record-constructor, record-accessor,
2107         record-modifier, scm-style-repl): Add second arg to eval.
2108         (read-hash-extend #\.): Ditto.  (This is actually a bugfix!)

2119         (emacs-symdoc): (This procedure needs updating!)
2120
2121 2000-08-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>
2122
2123         * boot-9.scm: Added note about dependency in modules.h to
2124         definition of module-type.
2125
2126         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added receive.scm, srfi-8.scm.
2127
2128         * receive.scm, srfi-8.scm: New files.
2129
2130         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Print multiple values on successive
2131         lines.

2133         *after* all used interfaces has been added.
2134

2145 2000-07-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2146
2147         * boot-9.scm (expt):  Make sure that integer-expt is only called
2148         if the exponent is a non-negative integer.
2149
2150 2000-07-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2151
2152         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Bugfix: Only check the CDR
2153         for export args.
2154
2155 2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2156
2157         * popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.

2168
2169 2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2170
2171         * boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',

2196
2197 2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

2204
2205 2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2206
2207         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
2208         '() instead of #f.
2209         (make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
2210         (the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
2211         `the-root-module'.
2212         (the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.
2213
2214         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
2215         documentation.scm.
2216

2218         (name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
2219         (apropos-fold): New procedure.
2220         (apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
2221         (help): Rewritten.
2222
2223         * doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).
2224

2226
2227 2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2228
2229         * doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.

2234 Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>
2235
2236         * session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
2237         `proc-documentation'
2238
2239         * doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
2240         the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
2241         (referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
2242         supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
2243         `proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
2244         getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
2245         function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
2246         getter...)
2247

2255         anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
2256         (make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
2257         closure.
2258
2259 2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2260
2261         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
2262         directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
2263         to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
2264         trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
2265         that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
2266         of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
2267         reason then primitive-load will raise an error).
2268
2269 2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>
2270
2271         * boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
2272         accept complex numbers as parameter.
2273
2274 2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2275
2276         * common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
2277         label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.
2278
2279 2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2280
2281         * common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
2282         `#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
2283         (remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
2284         instead of remove-if when iterating.
2285         (delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
2286         delete-if! when iterating.
2287
2288 2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2289
2290         * r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.
2291
2292 2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2293
2294         * session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.
2295
2296 2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2297
2298         * popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
2299         the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
2300         the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
2301         descriptors still in use in parent ports.
2302
2303 2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2304
2305         * popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
2306         reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.
2307
2308 2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2309
2310         * format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
2311         print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
2312         individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
2313         level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)
2314
2315 2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>
2316
2317         * streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
2318         because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.
2319
2320 Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2321
2322         * slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
2323         slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.
2324
2325 Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2326
2327         * boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
2328         Dirk Hermann!
2329
2330 Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2331
2332         * streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
2333         source of the numerous very short changes.
2334
2335 Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2336
2337         * slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
2338         public.
2339
2340         * r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
2341         info pages.
2342
2343 Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2344
2345         * common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
2346         from slib docs.
2347
2348 2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2349
2350         * format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
2351         so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.
2352
2353 2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2354
2355         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
2356         to string-append.
2357
2358 2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2359
2360         * expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
2361         since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
2362         the time first either, since expect-select does it.
2363
2364 Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2365
2366         * format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
2367         re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
2368         which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
2369         Narazaki for this change.
2370
2371 Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2372
2373         * boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
2374         `simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
2375         %S.
2376
2377         * boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
2378         primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.
2379
2380 2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2381
2382         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
2383         inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.
2384
2385 1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2386
2387         * slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
2388         scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
2389         use define-public to export from the module.
2390
2391 Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2392
2393         * doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
2394         not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
2395         realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!
2396
2397 Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2398
2399         * Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.
2400
2401 1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
2402
2403         * popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
2404         were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.
2405
2406 1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2407
2408         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.
2409
2410         * boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.
2411
2412         * arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.
2413
2414 1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2415
2416         * boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
2417         long_long uniform vectors.
2418
2419 1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2420
2421         * networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
2422         take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.
2423
2424 1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2425
2426         * Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
2427         script to create generated files like this one.
2428
2429 1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>
2430
2431         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
2432         available before using getpw and getuid.
2433         (top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
2434         (file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
2435         check for stat.
2436         (load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
2437         check for .guile, instead of stat.
2438         (file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
2439         available.
2440         (feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
2441         and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
2442         Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.
2443
2444         posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
2445         boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.
2446
2447         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.
2448
2449 1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2450
2451         * debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
2452         than 'exit-debugger.
2453
2454         * boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
2455         (top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.
2456
2457         * debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.
2458
2459 1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2460
2461         * debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
2462         Mark module with :no-backtrace.
2463         ("position"): New command.
2464         (source-position, display-position): New procedures.
2465         (display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
2466         (catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
2467         to return a valid state.)
2468         (read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.
2469
2470 1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2471
2472         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
2473         match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
2474         Badros.)
2475
2476 1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2477
2478         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
2479         `write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.
2480
2481 1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2482
2483         * debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.
2484
2485         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.
2486
2487         * boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
2488         (top-repl): Autoload debugger.
2489
2490         * debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
2491         display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
2492         (write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
2493         expression.
2494         ("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
2495         Handle errors.
2496
2497 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2498
2499         * format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
2500         slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)
2501
2502         * format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.
2503
2504 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2505
2506         * boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
2507         readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
2508         (handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
2509         this is no longer done by display-backtrace.
2510
2511         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
2512         argument.
2513
2514         * debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
2515         both forward and backward views of the stack
2516         (write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
2517         Use selector `frame-number';
2518         (select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
2519         ("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
2520         Use (ice-9 debug).
2521         Use readline conditionally.
2522
2523 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2524
2525         * regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
2526         (regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
2527         list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.
2528
2529         * regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
2530         the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
2531         Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)
2532
2533 1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2534
2535         * readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.
2536
2537         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.
2538
2539         * Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.
2540
2541         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2542
2543 1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2544
2545         Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
2546         with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
2547         false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
2548         for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
2549         directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
2550         architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
2551         don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
2552         * boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
2553         libguile-config-stamp.
2554         * version.scm.in: Delete.
2555         * Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
2556         (subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
2557         (EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
2558         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
2559
2560 1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2561
2562         * debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
2563         written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
2564         included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)
2565
2566         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
2567         session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
2568         top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
2569         what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
2570         readline.
2571
2572         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.
2573
2574 1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>
2575
2576         * boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.
2577
2578 1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2579
2580         * boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
2581         (inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.
2582
2583 1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>
2584
2585         Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
2586         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
2587         read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
2588         Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
2589         objects starting with '#/'.
2590
2591 1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>
2592
2593         GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
2594         system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
2595         * boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
2596         module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
2597         set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
2598         (module-type): Added slots `observers', `weak-observers' and
2599         `observer-id'.
2600         (module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
2601         module-modified): New procedures.
2602         (module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
2603         module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.
2604
2605 1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2606
2607         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
2608         defines.
2609
2610 1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

2620
2621         * readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
2622         at multiple calls to read.
2623         (promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
2624         (make-readline-port): Use prompt2.

2632
2633         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
2634         `(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
2635
2636 1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2637
2638         * string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
2639         split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
2640         Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

2642         1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2643
2644         * more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
2645         that was introduced to fix the $ problem:
2646
2647         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
2648         of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
2649         expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
2650         * expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
2651         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
2652         instead of a port.
2653
2654 1999-06-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2655
2656         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
2657         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2658
2659         Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:
2660
2661         * expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
2662         know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
2663         unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
2664         (expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.
2665
2666         Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:
2667
2668         1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2669
2670         * popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
2671         and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
2672         collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
2673         an alist.
2674
2675         1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2676
2677         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
2678         (expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
2679         the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
2680         disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
2681         from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
2682         (expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2683         flags for regexp-exec.  if this includes regexp/noteol, then
2684         automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
2685         is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
2686         (expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
2687         flags for make-regexp.  default is regexp/newline.
2688
2689         1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2690
2691         * expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
2692         peeked from the stream.
2693         (expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
2694         (expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
2695         to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.
2696
2697         1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2698
2699         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
2700         (error-catching-loop): likewise.
2701
2702         1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2703
2704         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
2705         consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
2706         exiting repl with single control-D.
2707
2708         1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>
2709
2710         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
2711         error catching loop after quit received.
2712         (top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.
2713
2714         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
2715         primitive exit if non-interactive.
2716         force-output on current-error-port if interactive.
2717
2718         * boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
2719         * popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
2720         boot-9.scm.
2721         * popen.scm: new file.
2722
2723 1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

2729
2730         * optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
2731         non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)
2732
2733 1999-05-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2734
2735         * string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
2736         (which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
2737         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
2738         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2739         * format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).
2740
2741 1999-05-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2742
2743         * boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.
2744
2745         * Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
2746         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2747
2748         * string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
2749         Guile's module system.
2750
2751         * format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
2752         changes:
2753         (format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
2754         a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
2755         list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
2756         error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
2757         clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
2758         (format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
2759         modern CL behavior.
2760         (format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
2761         '() when the condition is false.
2762
2763 1999-04-17  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2764
2765         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2766
2767 1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2768
2769         * boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.
2770
2771 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2772
2773         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
2774         :use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
2775         (internal-use-syntax): Removed.
2776
2777 1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2778
2779         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
2780         argument order for hash-fold.
2781
2782 1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2783
2784         * boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.  Broken out from
2785         resolve-module.
2786         (resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
2787         deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).
2788
2789         This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
2790         load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
2791         actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
2792         has been added to the load path).
2793
2794         Use try-load-module.
2795
2796 1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2797
2798         * session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
2799         module between system and user state.
2800
2801 1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2802
2803         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.
2804
2805         * emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
2806         definition.
2807
2808 1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2809
2810         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
2811         associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
2812         system can create a wrapper class for it.
2813
2814 1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2815
2816         Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
2817         specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
2818         by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
2819         recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
2820         stack frame encountered.
2821
2822         This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
2823         `(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
2824         any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
2825         on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
2826         list).]
2827
2828         Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
2829         that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
2830         spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
2831         system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
2832         please tell me!]
2833
2834         System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
2835         define-module switches:
2836
2837         (define-module (foo)
2838           :no-backtrace)
2839
2840         Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
2841         modules.
2842
2843         A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
2844         associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
2845         from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
2846         module it is a system frame.
2847
2848         Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
2849         away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
2850         stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
2851         user frame encountered.  (Note that the first user frame
2852         encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)
2853
2854         In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
2855         frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
2856         following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
2857         over application frames where the operator is marked by the
2858         `system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
2859         generic function dispatch code in the object system.)
2860
2861         * boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
2862         status of a module.;
2863         Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
2864         (process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.
2865
2866         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
2867         (set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
2868         closure to the module.
2869
2870         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.

2880 1999-02-15  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2881
2882         Fix from Russ McManus:
2883         * getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
2884         value-required? field for options that take optional values.
2885         (process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
2886         either an optional or required value.
2887
2888 1999-02-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>
2889
2890         * getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.
2891
2892         * getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
2893         of the '() key, not `rest'.
2894
2895         A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
2896         * getopt-long.scm: New file.
2897         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.

2903         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
2904         not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.
2905
2906 1999-02-06  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2907
2908         * and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
2909         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
2910         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2911
2912 1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2913
2914         * slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
2915         the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
2916         for isn't loaded.
2917
2918 1998-12-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
2919
2920         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
2921
2922 1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2923
2924         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
2925         1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
2926         applied to the module itself.
2927
2928 1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2929
2930         * Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.
2931
2932         * setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.  2. It was unschemey.
2933         (These shortcomings were my fault.)
2934
2935 1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2936
2937         * boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

2946         which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
2947
2948 1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2949
2950         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
2951         :autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
2952         The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
2953         MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
2954         among BINDINGS is referenced.
2955         (make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
2956         for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.
2957
2958 1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2959

2964
2965         * boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
2966         sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
2967         static libraries.

2971         * session.scm (arity): New procedure.
2972
2973 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
2974
2975         * boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.
2976
2977 1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2978
2979         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
2980         code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
2981         adapt to the new hooks.
2982
2983 1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
2984
2985         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
2986         interface is set to the module itself.  In this way we can use
2987         beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
2988         code.
2989         (process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
2990         well if a module does :use-module on itself.
2991
2992         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
2993         invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
2994         been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
2995         (register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
2996         registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
2997         function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
2998         argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
2999         (init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
3000         first to register linked modules.
3001
3002         * boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
3003         registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
3004         invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.
3005
3006         * boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
3007         (abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
3008         before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
3009         after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.
3010
3011         * boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
3012         to use from C:
3013         (make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
3014         libguile/feature.c.
3015
3016         * boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
3017         libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
3018         make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.
3019
3020 1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3021
3022         * boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
3023         object representing the current local evaluation environment.
3024         This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.
3025
3026 1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3027
3028         * boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
3029         a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
3030         result of the last form.
3031
3032 1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3033
3034         * boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
3035         syncase.scm.
3036
3037         * syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.
3038
3039         * boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
3040         readline-set!: New options interface.
3041
3042         * readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.
3043
3044 1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3045
3046         * boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
3047         at the end of boot-9.scm.
3048
3049 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3050
3051         * emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
3052         correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3053
3054 1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3055
3056         * boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
3057         interactive session.
3058         (top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.
3059
3060         * readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
3061         history at exit (add to exit-hook).
3062
3063 Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3064
3065         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...
3066
3067 1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3068
3069         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
3070         read line was empty.
3071
3072 1998-10-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3073
3074         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
3075         r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.
3076
3077         * getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.
3078
3079         Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
3080         problem.  Duh.
3081         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
3082         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
3083         * Makefile.in: Regeneretade.
3084
3085         * boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
3086         entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
3087         into...
3088         (load-emacs-interface): New function.
3089         (top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
3090         At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.
3091
3092         We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
3093         core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
3094         assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
3095         separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
3096         * syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
3097         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
3098         psyntax.ss.
3099         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3100
3101         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
3102         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3103
3104 1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3105
3106         * boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
3107         and short vectors #h(...).
3108
3109 1998-10-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3110
3111         * calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
3112         set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
3113         that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)
3114
3115 1998-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3116
3117         * r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
3118         testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
3119         porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.
3120
3121 1998-10-09  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3122
3123         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
3124         print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.
3125
3126         * q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
3127         (eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
3128         to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
3129         Michael Livshin --- thanks!)
3130
3131 1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3132
3133         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
3134         trace flag.
3135
3136         * boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
3137         order to allow the empty list as arg.
3138         (error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
3139         context with traps enabled.
3140
3141 1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3142
3143         * boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
3144         module.
3145         (try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).
3146
3147 1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3148
3149         * boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
3150         available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
3151         currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
3152         1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
3153         module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.
3154
3155 1998-07-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3156
3157         * Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
3158         automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.
3159
3160 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3161
3162         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.
3163
3164 1998-07-28  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3165
3166         * getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)
3167
3168 1998-07-26  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3169
3170         * Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.
3171
3172 1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3173
3174         * readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
3175         after first read line.  (Thanks to Richard Polton.)
3176
3177 1998-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
3178
3179         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
3180         ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
3181         more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
3182         any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
3183         Archibald.)
3184
3185         * hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
3186         false.  Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
3187         list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)
3188
3189 1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3190
3191         * boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
3192         bindings from a module.  `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
3193         the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
3194         should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
3195         `define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
3196         but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
3197         (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)
3198
3199 1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3200
3201         * boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.
3202
3203 1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3204
3205         * boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
3206         of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
3207         suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
3208         substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
3209         module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
3210         affect the internal operation of Guile itself.
3211
3212 1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3213
3214         * boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
3215         themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
3216         loaded as root for relative filenames.  (After suggestion by
3217         Steven G. Johnson.)
3218
3219 1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3220
3221         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.
3222
3223 1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3224
3225         * readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.
3226
3227 1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>
3228
3229         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
3230         be completed.
3231
3232 1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3233
3234         * debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.
3235
3236 1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3237
3238         * boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
3239         enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)
3240
3241 1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3242
3243         * boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
3244         similar in use to `use-modules'.
3245         Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
3246         (ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
3247         transformer.
3248         (internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
3249         (process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.
3250
3251 1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3252
3253         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.
3254
3255 1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3256
3257         * readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
3258         possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
3259         completion.
3260
3261         * boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
3262         19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.
3263
3264         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
3265         Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
3266         from repl-read.  (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)
3267
3268         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.
3269
3270 1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3271
3272         * boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.
3273
3274         * readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
3275         Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)
3276
3277 1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3278
3279         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.
3280
3281 1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3282
3283         * nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
3284         nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.
3285
3286         * emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.
3287
3288         * gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.  tcltk.scm has made these
3289         obsolete.
3290
3291 1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3292
3293         * runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
3294         (Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)
3295
3296 1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3297
3298         * boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.
3299
3300 1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3301
3302         * boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.  (Thanks to Maciej
3303         Stachowiak.)
3304
3305 1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3306
3307         * threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
3308         (make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.  The most
3309         important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
3310         Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
3311         (signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
3312         threads.
3313
3314 1998-01-01  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3315
3316         A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
3317         * slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
3318         (slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.
3319
3320 1997-12-24  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3321
3322         * boot-9.scm: Doc fix.
3323
3324         * slib.scm (identity): Made public.
3325         (home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).
3326
3327 1997-12-13  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3328
3329         * boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
3330         improved speed.  Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
3331         hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
3332         changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
3333         behavior of read-line.  On platforms which do not represent
3334         end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
3335         like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
3336         to go here.
3337
3338 Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3339
3340         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
3341         is now a fluid.
3342
3343 1997-11-28  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
3344
3345         * boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
3346         contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
3347         the shared library name from that file.  If the .la file does not
3348         exist, try to link against a .so file.  Libtool-generated compiled
3349         modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
3350         (try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.
3351
3352 Sun Nov  9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3353
3354         * boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more
3355         usefully so they will work from a script.
3356
3357 1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3358
3359         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
3360         neighborhood of the record code.
3361
3362 Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3363
3364         * boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.  It turns
3365         out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
3366         support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
3367         worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.
3368
3369 Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3370
3371         * Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
3372         installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
3373         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3374
3375 Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3376
3377         Add support for readline function.
3378         * readline.scm: New module.
3379         * boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
3380         (scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
3381         ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
3382         anything.
3383         (top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
3384         repl-reader to use them.
3385         If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.
3386
3387         * ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).
3388
3389 Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3390
3391         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3392         string-fun.scm: Added copyright notices; reformatted.
3393
3394 Thu Oct  9 05:44:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3395
3396         * expect.scm: (expect-regexec): new procedure, use it in
3397         expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
3398         (top): include regex module in define-module statement.
3399
3400 Wed Oct  8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3401
3402         * (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
3403         #f, abort terminates the process.
3404         (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
3405         error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.
3406
3407 1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3408
3409         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
3410         print-state, throw it away.
3411
3412 Fri Oct  3 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3413
3414         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout): Use `vtable-index-layout' instead of
3415         `0'.
3416
3417 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>
3418
3419         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
3420         set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
3421         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
3422         (record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
3423         user field).
3424         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
3425         one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.
3426
3427 Thu Oct  2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3428
3429         * boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.
3430
3431 Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>
3432
3433         Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
3434         * boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
3435         This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
3436         * calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
3437         string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
3438         boot-9.scm.
3439         * Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for
3440         distribution and installation.
3441         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3442

3444
3445         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2c.
3446
3447 Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3448
3449         * slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
3450         named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
3451         the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).
3452
3453         * boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
3454         the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
3455         symbol.
3456
3457 Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3458
3459         * debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.
3460

3465         * boot-9.scm (separate-fields-discarding-char,
3466         separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char): Call
3467         continuation function, RET, as advertised: with each separated
3468         field a separate argument.
3469
3470         * Makefile.in: Regenerated with automake 1.2a.
3471
3472 Sat Sep 20 14:23:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
3473
3474         * slib.scm (slib:load): Export.
3475
3476         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): Bugfix: Don't add "/" to an empty
3477         vicinity;
3478         Provide defmacro.
3479
3480 Thu Sep 18 01:24:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3485
3486         * boot-9.scm (keyword->symbol, display-usage-report): Changed
3487         length --> string-length.  (Thanks to Aleksandar Bakic.)
3488         (separate-fields-discarding-char, separate-fields-after-char,
3489         separate-fields-before-char): Bugfix from Maciej Stachowiak
3490         <mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
3491         (try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
3492         registered.
3493         (try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
3494         corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
3495         (resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
3496         registered modules (for example those which have been statically
3497         linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
3498         link a .so-file.

3510
3511         * boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.
3512
3513         * slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
3514         the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
3515         syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
3516         expansion inside the slib module.
3517
3518         * psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
3519         constructors.

3525         (sc-expand3): New procedure: Expander which takes optional mode
3526         and eval-syntactic-expanders-when arguments.
3527
3528         * syncase.scm (psyncomp): New procedure: Recompiles psyntax.pp.
3529         Should be used inside the (ice-9 syncase) module with (use-syntax
3530         syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
3531         source.
3532         Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
3533         variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
3534         been loaded.
3535
3536 Fri Sep  5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>
3537
3538         * syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
3539         (syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
3540         `use-syntax'.
3541         (sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.
3542
3543         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Added `transformer'.

3545         (module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
3546         mutator for module-associated transformer.
3547         (set-current-module): Use module-transformer to set
3548         `scm:eval-transformer'.
3549         (module-use!): Previous change reverted.
3550         (use-syntax): New function: Install a transformer in current
3551         module.
3552         (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed! :)
3553
3554 Fri Sep  5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3555
3556         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.
3557
3558         * syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
3559         properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
3560         This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
3561         Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
3562         Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.
3563
3564         * boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.
3565         (set-current-module): Switch to and from sc-expand as
3566         scm:eval-transformer when going into and out of modules using
3567         syncase macros.
3568         (module-use!): Set scm:eval-transformer to sc-expand when adding
3569         the syncase interface.
3570
3571 Thu Sep  4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3572
3573         * syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
3574         globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
3575         workings of the current module system).
3576
3577 Wed Sep  3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3578
3579         * psyntax.ss: Updated.
3580         psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
3581         off!
3582
3583 Tue Sep  2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

3590
3591         * gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
3592         according to the following priorities:
3593         1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
3594         2. bindings from the-scm-module
3595         3. tcl bindings
3596         This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
3597         disabling the scheme interpreter.
3598         (new-interpreter): New function.
3599
3600         * gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
3601         gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
3602         it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

3619
3620         * session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
3621         accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
3622         source!
3623
3624 Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

3631         * debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
3632         number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
3633         in stack-ref).
3634
3635         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
3636         non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
3637         Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
3638         (no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
3639         (result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
3640         result protocol;

3653
3654 Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3655
3656         * syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling
3657         macros.  Instead cut the stack with start-stack.
3658         Load psyntax.pp with recording of positions turned off.
3659
3660         * psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss (quasiquote): Changed fx= --> =.
3661
3662         * syncase.scm: New file: Guile-adaption for syntax-case macros.

3677
3678         * emacs.scm (emacs-load): Something has changed in the reader so
3679         that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
3680         (linum) instead of (- linum 1).
3681
3682         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
3683         primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
3684         the top.
3685
3686         * boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
3687         order to narrow it correctly.
3688         (save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.
3689
3690 Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3691
3692         * boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.

3700
3701         * boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
3702         builtin `with-fluids*'.
3703
3704 Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3705
3706         * slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
3707         *catalog* is #f until the first access.  Therefore we call
3708         require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.
3709
3710 Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
3711
3712         * boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
3713         automatically.
3714
3715 Mon Jul 21 06:45:45 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3716
3717         * boot-9.scm (dup->port, dup->inport, dup->outport, dup->fdes,
3718         dup, fdes->inport, fdes->outport, port->fdes): new procedures.
3719         (duplicate-port): was a C primitive, now it's here.
3720         (move->fdes): allow the first argument to be a file descriptor.
3721         Return the modified port or file descriptor (was unspecified.)
3722
3723 Fri Jul 11 00:13:43 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3724
3725         Changes to compile under gnu-win32, from Marcus Daniels:
3726         * boot-9.scm (load-user-init): If HOME is unset, provide
3727         a default of /.
3728
3729         * boot-9.scm (define-public): Changed to accomodate Hobbit.
3730
3731 Tue Jun 24 00:31:47 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3732
3733         * boot-9.scm, debug.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm,
3734         poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
3735         notation, instead of #/ notation.
3736
3737         * expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to
3738         make-regexp.
3739
3740 Mon Jun 23 16:13:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3741
3742         Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
3743         * boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
3744         (parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
3745         Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
3746         instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
3747         (Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)
3748
3749         * boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
3750         from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
3751         optional in the scm module's definition, to match the deleted
3752         definition.  Harmony reigneth?  (Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)
3753
3754 Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3755
3756         Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
3757         different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
3758         sending in bug reports.
3759         * version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
3760         produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
3761         * boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
3762         display a warning if the two are different.
3763         * Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
3764         Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
3765         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3766
3767 Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3768
3769         * slib.scm (slib:warn): Alias for WARN function.
3770
3771 Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3772
3773         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
3774         check.  Correctly check for struct printer tag.
3775
3776         * expect.scm: Turn this into a module, (ice-9 expect).
3777         (expect-port, expect-timeout, expect-timeout-proc,
3778         expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
3779         expect-select): Make these public definitions.
3780         (expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
3781         regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
3782         that's okay.
3783
3784         * boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
3785         users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
3786         regexp interface.
3787
3788         * test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
3789         boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.
3790
3791         * boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated
3792         function names.
3793
3794         * boot-9.scm (with-excursion-getter-and-setter, q-rear): Doc
3795         fixes.
3796
3797 Wed Jun 11 00:31:40 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>
3798
3799         * Makefile.in: Regenerated after xtra_PLUGIN_guile_libs change in
3800         ../configure.in.
3801
3802 Fri Jun  6 14:37:18 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3803
3804         * boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Bugfix: Check the layout of the
3805         vtable and not the one of the struct.
3806
3807 Wed Jun  4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3808
3809         * boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
3810         make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
3811         to support printing of structures.
3812         (record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
3813         function and initialize it with something appropriate.  Removed
3814         commented out printing code.
3815         (record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.
3816         (%print-module): Reduce argument list to "mod" and "port".
3817
3818 Tue Jun  3 17:04:18 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3819
3820         * slib.scm (identity): New function, used by SLIB.
3821
3822 Sat May 31 18:57:12 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3823
3824         * boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
3825         don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
3826         top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
3827         during call to scm-style-repl.
3828
3829 Fri May 30 18:08:10 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3830
3831         * slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
3832         basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
3833         source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
3834         make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
3835         breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.
3836
3837 Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3838
3839         * regex.scm: Add a module declaration.  Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
3840         * boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
3841         (ice-9 regex).
3842
3843 Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
3844
3845         * regex.scm: New file.
3846         * Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
3847         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
3848
3849 Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
3850
3851         * COPYING, boot-9.scm, debug.scm, emacs.scm, expect.scm, gtcl.scm,

3853         oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,

3859         in 1997.
3860
3861 Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3862
3863         * expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
3864         and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
3865         since the regex library is currently AWOL.
3866
3867 Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3868
3869         * boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
3870         implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
3871         here.
3872
3873 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3874
3875         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.
3876
3877 Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3878
3879         * Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

3882
3883         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
3884         current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
3885         fixes this too.
3886
3887 Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3888
3889         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
3890         consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
3891         avoid screwing up GDB.  More detail in comments.
3892
3893 Mon May  5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3894
3895         * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
3896         the Scheme code like code yet.
3897         * Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.
3898
3899 Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3900
3901         * boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
3902         dynamic-link and dynamic-call.  When the shared library exists it
3903         is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.
3904
3905 Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
3906
3907         * boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
3908         use-modules macro
3909         (use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
3910         can't be found.
3911
3912 Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3913
3914         * boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.
3915
3916 Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
3917
3918         * aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.
3919
3920         * Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
3921         we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
3922         * Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.
3923

3929
3930         Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
3931         no plugins.
3932         * configure.in, configure: Removed.
3933         * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

3941
3942         * boot-9.scm (log10): defined.
3943
3944 Tue Apr  1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3945
3946         * expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
3947         arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

3950
3951         * boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
3952         instead of in libguile.
3953         (tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
3954         (set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.
3955
3956 Thu Mar 27 05:06:00 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3957

3959         procedures.
3960         (netent:net, servent:proto): repaired.

3962
3963 Tue Mar 25 03:04:03 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3964
3965         * boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
3966         sockaddr:port): new functions.
3967
3968 Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3969
3970         * boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
3971         by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
3972         passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
3973         and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)
3974
3975 Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3976
3977         * boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
3978         setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.
3979
3980 Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
3981
3982         * boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

3986         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
3987         keywords and symbols.
3988
3989 Sat Mar  8 04:32:44 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

3997         (read-sharp): removed.
3998         Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take

4000

4008         * boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
4009         interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.
4010
4011 Thu Mar  6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4012
4013         * boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.
4014
4015 Wed Mar  5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4016
4017         * boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.
4018
4019 Sun Mar  2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4020
4021         * boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
4022         read gets EOF.
4023         * (exit): alias for quit.
4024
4025 Sun Mar  2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4026
4027         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
4028         return the quit args.
4029         (scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
4030         error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
4031         stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.
4032
4033         (error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).
4034
4035 Sat Mar  1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4036
4037         * boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.
4038
4039         * r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
4040         explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.
4041
4042         * boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
4043         Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.
4044
4045         * debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
4046         stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
4047         of handlers.
4048
4049 Sat Mar  1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4050
4051         * debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.
4052
4053         * boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
4054         (add-hooks!): New macro.
4055         Change hooks to use these functions.
4056
4057         * debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.  I add
4058         it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
4059         making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
4060         the source! :-)
4061         (trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
4062         Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
4063         (untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
4064         Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
4065         Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
4066         procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
4067         This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
4068         traced.
4069
4070         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
4071         and exit-frame exceptions.
4072
4073         * boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
4074         (set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
4075         (scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
4076         string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
4077         result; otherwise display "> ".
4078         (Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)
4079
4080         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
4081         `module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
4082         we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
4083         repository version runnable.
4084
4085 Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4086
4087         * boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
4088         recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
4089         convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
4090         once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
4091         we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
4092         boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)
4093
4094 Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4095
4096         * boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
4097         (macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
4098         and eval.
4099         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
4100         "defined?".
4101         * slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
4102         builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.
4103
4104 Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4105
4106         * configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
4107
4108 Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4109
4110         * boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
4111         %read-sharp layer.
4112
4113 Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4114
4115         * boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
4116         uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.
4117
4118 Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4119
4120         * boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
4121         backtrace.c.)
4122
4123 Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4124
4125         * boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
4126         read-line): new procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.
4127
4128 Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4129
4130         Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
4131
4132         * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
4133         init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
4134         find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
4135         try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
4136         dynamic linking of modules.
4137         (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
4138         after failing to load it as Scheme code.
4139
4140 Wed Jan  8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4141
4142         * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
4143
4144 Tue Jan  7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4145
4146         * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
4147         that's what it is.
4148
4149         * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
4150         the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
4151         was false.
4152
4153 Mon Jan  6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4154
4155         * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
4156         (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
4157         <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
4158
4159 Sun Jan  5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4160
4161         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
4162         typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
4163         yet.
4164
4165 Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4166
4167         * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
4168         been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
4169         (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
4170
4171 Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4172
4173         * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
4174         controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
4175         (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
4176         (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
4177
4178         * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
4179         is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
4180         bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
4181         appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
4182         (such as the-scm-module).
4183
4184 Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4185
4186         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
4187         %search-load-path.
4188
4189 Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
4190
4191         * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
4192         * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
4193         * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
4194
4195 Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
4196
4197         * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
4198         (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
4199         function, use it accordingly.
4200
4201 Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4202
4203         It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
4204         function of no arguments.
4205         * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
4206         (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
4207         set-current-module): Uses changed.
4208         (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
4209         root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
4210         set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
4211         (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
4212         *top-level-eval-closure*.
4213
4214 Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4215
4216         * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
4217         (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
4218
4219 Sat Nov  2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4220
4221         * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4222         aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
4223         debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
4224         *inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
4225         beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
4226
4227         Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
4228         `*features*'.
4229
4230         The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
4231         now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
4232         sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
4233         `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
4234
4235         Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
4236
4237         Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
4238
4239         The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
4240         If the user wants to see this, he can do
4241         (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
4242
4243         The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
4244         error.
4245
4246         Added `before-read-hook'.
4247
4248         Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
4249
4250         (provide): New function.
4251
4252         (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
4253         in backtraces.
4254
4255         (backtrace): New function.
4256
4257         (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
4258         specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
4259         border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
4260         number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
4261         is found in operator position in a frame.
4262
4263         * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
4264         by default.
4265
4266         * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
4267         primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
4268         ".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
4269
4270         (implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it
4271
4272         (library-vicinity): Updated.
4273
4274         Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
4275
4276         (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
4277
4278 Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4279
4280         * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
4281
4282         * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
4283         try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.
4284
4285         * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
4286         so they'll get distributed.
4287
4288         Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
4289         should see as little clutter as possible.
4290         * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
4291         * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
4292         (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
4293
4294         * r4rs.scm: New file.
4295         * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
4296         (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
4297         open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
4298         close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
4299         call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
4300         with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
4301         with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
4302         with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
4303         r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
4304         that are not.
4305         (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
4306         set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
4307
4308         * test.scm: New file.
4309
4310         * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
4311         present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
4312         idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
4313
4314         * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
4315         =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
4316
4317         * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
4318         work now.
4319         (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.  Set %load-hook to
4320         call %load-announce.
4321
4322 Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4323
4324         * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
4325         stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
4326         stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
4327         components.
4328         (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
4329
4330 Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4331
4332         * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
4333         that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
4334         SCSH (which this isn't).
4335
4336 Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4337
4338         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4339
4340 Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
4341
4342         * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
4343         after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
4344         to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
4345         these.
4346         (save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
4347         depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
4348         choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
4349         (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
4350         save-stack.
4351
4352 Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4353
4354         * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
4355
4356         * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
4357
4358         * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
4359         error-catching-loop.
4360         Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
4361         Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
4362         Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
4363
4364         Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
4365         error-catching-loop.
4366
4367 Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4368
4369         * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
4370         (make-module): Rework for readability.
4371         (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
4372         should be '(), not #f.
4373
4374         * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
4375         primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
4376
4377 Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4378
4379         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
4380         the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
4381         error-signal.
4382
4383 Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4384
4385         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
4386         handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
4387         Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
4388         start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
4389
4390 Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4391
4392         * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
4393
4394 Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4395
4396         * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
4397
4398         * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
4399         throw-handler-default.
4400         ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
4401         reported.
4402         ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
4403         acro.
4404         ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
4405         error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
4406
4407 Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4408
4409         * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
4410         make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
4411         port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
4412         * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
4413
4414 Sun Oct  6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4415
4416         * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
4417         Append "." to the default %load-path.
4418         (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
4419         (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
4420         ...))
4421         (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
4422         (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
4423         (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
4424         (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
4425         file-is-directory?
4426
4427 Sat Oct  5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4428
4429         * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
4430
4431         * threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
4432         distribution.
4433
4434         * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
4435         `switch-repl'.
4436
4437         * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
4438
4439 Wed Oct  2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4440
4441         * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
4442         the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
4443
4444 Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4445
4446         * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
4447
4448         * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
4449
4450 Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4451
4452         * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
4453         to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
4454         Don't set up 'error as a key.
4455         Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
4456         (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
4457
4458         (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
4459         basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
4460         try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
4461         they seem redundant.
4462         (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
4463         (load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
4464         with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
4465         (should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
4466         directly files starting with "/").
4467         (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
4468         (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
4469
4470         (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
4471
4472 Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4473
4474         * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
4475         straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
4476         (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
4477         Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
4478         not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
4479         than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
4480         something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
4481         robust to just do it in the C code.
4482
4483 Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4484
4485         * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.  Previously
4486         %try-load itself was the primitive.
4487         (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
4488         Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
4489         (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
4490
4491 Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>
4492
4493         * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
4494         (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
4495         for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
4496
4497 Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4498
4499         * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
4500         system-error, not every kind of error.
4501         (scm-error): new procedure.
4502
4503 Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4504
4505         * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
4506
4507 Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4508
4509         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
4510         SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
4511         of args are supplied.
4512         (%%system-errors): removed.
4513         (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
4514         ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
4515         %%handle-system-error.
4516         (%%default-error-handler): removed.
4517         (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
4518         Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
4519         (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
4520
4521 Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4522
4523         * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
4524         (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
4525         Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
4526         %S (embed an argument using "write").
4527
4528 Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4529
4530         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
4531         the empty list if they are #f.
4532         Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
4533
4534 Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4535
4536         * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
4537
4538         * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
4539         (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
4540         aborting, just the key and subr.
4541         Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
4542         Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
4543         Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
4544
4545 Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4546
4547         * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
4548         resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
4549         dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
4550         operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
4551         local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
4552
4553 Sat Sep  7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4554
4555         * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
4556         by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
4557         (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
4558         (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
4559
4560 Thu Sep  5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4561
4562         * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
4563         (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
4564         initialize %load-path.
4565
4566         * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
4567         "/", use one to separate it from the file.
4568
4569 Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan  <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4570
4571         * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
4572         Add the directory named after the version number.
4573         Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
4574         Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
4575         * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
4576         sitedatadir): New definitions.
4577         (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.

4582 Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
4583
4584         Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
4585         Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
4586         in the Makefile directly.
4587         * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
4588         for these.
4589         * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
4590         aux_files.

4597         module.  Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
4598
4599         * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
4600
4601 Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
4602
4603         * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
4604         weak-key-hash-table?.  (Again!)

4620         (%open-file): removed.
4621         (open-input-file, open-output-file, file-exists?, file-is-directory?):
4622         modified for open-file change (does not return #f).

4624 Thu Aug  1 02:52:42 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
4625
4626         * Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
4627         (manifest): Deleted.
4628         * PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
4629         directory, and needs special treatment in the dist-dir target.
4630
4631 Thu Aug  1 09:00:21 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4632
4633         * boot-9.scm: remove the wrappers for '%' system primitives,
4634         now that they throw errors directly.
4635         remove make-simple-wrapper and similar functions.
4636         protect a call to getenv which may now throw an exception.
4637
4638 Wed Jul 31 23:44:42 1996  Gary Houston  <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
4639
4640         * boot-9.scm (false-if-exception): new macro.
4641
